Fantastic job!It is so easy

worry. Thanks a bunch.

From Jamaican Cooking Made Easy, 3rd
Edition
NOTE: For a moister bulla, use mo-
lasses or wet sugar instead of regular
sugar. This will also give the more tradi-
tional darker colour and chewier tex-
ture and sweet flavour.

Food inspired by...
Grandma
Actually, she was my great grandmother,
and back in St. Mary, Jamaica, we called
her Sister Wadi. I remember that she
was tall and proud and taught me
how to cook.
The food I serve at my restaurant
may have a modern twist – with
items like the Bob Marley Pizza
Bowl – but every bite is
flavoured with memories
of Sister Wadi.
