Cultures in the Caribbean are like unique, homemade stews cooked from a mixture of influences.  People from far-flung parts of the world who have endured hundreds of years of migration, slavery, exploration and colonization now happily call the Caribbean home.  Many such experiences have guided the history and culture of the people of The Bahamas, creating a friendly and celebratory group of people who are proud of their cultural heritage.  Today, this cultural heritage can be seen in the way we prepare our meals.
