News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Sept. 22, 2017: It been a rough few weeks for the Caribbean and it’s Diaspora ! The devastation of hurricanes Harvey in Texas and Irma and Maria in Caribbean have hit close to home, destroying lives and property.
Individually and collectively we all have to make meaningful contributions to help restore lives property and restore the Caribbean spirits.
Today given the state of the region, cooking is difficult, so basic foods will have to suffice. So to do this we resort to Hurricane, rainy weather foods. An example of this is Canned corn-beef and flour dumplings.
