According to Erica Henry-Jackman, Sales and Marketing Manager for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Office (Canada), "This is the perfect opportunity for the Canadian Office to continue our very successful 15 month Culinary Tourism campaign, featuring Antigua's English Harbour Rum. It will also allow us to further highlight the culinary geniuses of our chefs and their cuisines."
Appearing at the Antigua and Barbuda booth will be Chef Wayne Forde. Forde has had a number of years experience as a chef. He currently holds the position of Senior Sous Chef at The Verandah Resort, where he has worked since October 2007.
The menu will showcase a range of Antiguan and Barbudan dishes over the four day period. ~~Adz:Right~~
This will include pumpkin and ginger soup, salt fish cakes, corn bread & peas stew, veggi pepperpot and fungi, sugar cakes, and guava cheese.
Assisting him in preparing the dishes will be Chef Keith Otto and Chef David Richards, who are both Antiguan chefs residing in Canada. Elmore Norris, another Antiguan who resides in Canada, rounds off the team as the bartender.
Norris will utilize the well-renowned English Harbour Rum to serve up cocktails.
