Born in Guadeloupe, Vanessa Bolosier is half-Guadeloupian and half-Martiniquan. She moved to France when she was 17 to work as a fashion model, and on moving to London, concentrated on her true love – food. Vanessa founded her company, Carib Gourmet in 2011, specialising in luxury Caribbean food and confectionery including the award-winning Coco Gourmand coconut sweets. She also runs a cookery school and supper club.

“…in my Creole Kitchen you'll find laughter, ancestral stories, childhood memories, inherited recipes, tradition and a blend of culinary brilliance from those I learned from throughout the years.In my Creole Kitchen you'll chop fresh herbs, clean fresh whole fish with splashes of freshly squeezed lime. You will experience fresh chillies and will end up smelling aromas you've never smelled before, that trigger an instant sense of comfort.

The food from my Creole Kitchen is simple, easy to make yet comforting. It reflects the rustic Amerindians love for seafood, African customary usage of tubers and a tradition of slow-cooked stews. French, Spanish, Portuguese Dutch and English cooking techniques and a myriad of spices help to bring the flavours together.
My Creole Kitchen brings people together around the one thing that matters most when you celebrate life on the islands; food. It is the place that encloses secret recipes, memories and traditions I often revisit for a sense of home”.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
