This is a cookbook with a delectable compilation of recipes that were passed along three generations of Cruzans--from the author's maternal grandmother, Christiana Henry Sackey, to her mother, Exira Marie Sackey Milligan.


This cultural cookbook looks through the food lens my ancestral past. Through this ancestral research, I found that the journey into the recipes began to take shape during the days of slavery in St. Croix under seven flags and when Africans from Ghana arrived on the shores of St. Croix around the early 1800's. The dishes as presented are an extension of the foods these people ate in Africa with some modifications because some specific ingredients were not available.
