What’s cooking in Chef Michael’s kitchen today?
Today’s lunch is stewed chicken with coconut rice. While it isn’t native to any specific country, it is a good example of how the flavors of Africa, the Caribbean, and North America have come to interact over the last 400 years. You can find some version of this all through the southern United States, into the islands of the Caribbean, and down into Central and South America.
