(Our first subscriber)

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised to have been bestowed with the honor of being your first subscriber. I wish you and your Caribbean Food Emporium the very best success and that customer hits on your pages keep on coming. I found your site while surfing www.goggle.com for research on the History of Food including Caribbean. If you would like, since I live in Orlando, Florida and we have several Caribbean restaurants and Carry-Outs (our Americanized version of the English "Take Away" description) I will send the address etc to you along with any web url.  

Best of luck to you all.

(Thank you! Happy Cooking)

Visiting the site for the first time. It's great, I like it. It's wonderful to have so many recipes at my fingertips.   I've downloaded lots of stuff, I'll be doing a lot of cooking over the Easter.   It's also interesting to see variations on a theme. 

 Anyway, I would like to subscribe, keep adding the recipes. I'll send the link to my sister and friends who like cooking. Well done, keep up the good work.

What a magnificent thing you are doing. About 13 years ago I had a thought about opening a restaurant based on Caribbean food and culture as at that time there were just a few around in comparison to the diversity of our food and the number of West Indians  / Africans in the UK. I got a number of close friends and family together and shared my thoughts with the intentions of opening up a restaurant in celebration of our food and in the process making some money. However this did not get off the ground.

Thirteen years on, I found myself in a position where I was looking for a business opportunity and having considered many possibilities, I have had this strong urge pulling towards what I felt was this massive void in the Caribbean food Industry. As I started to investigate this further, I came across your Website (Caribbean Food Emporium). and was bowled over.

I was / am delight to see that there has been a core of individuals within our community who has had the vision, the courage, the determination, the strength and staying power (arguably, all the qualities that we have always had in abundance) and have taken great strides towards filling this void within the industry. However, I'm in agreement that there is much more work to be done towards:

1. Protection this great cuisine from extinction within our own community I.e, our own children and their children here in the UK, parts of Europe and to some extent the US. 

2. Just like the Indians, Chinese, Italians, French, Greek, Thai, Cantonese and Mr McDonald's, we have a commodity / cuisine that could easily rivalled any of the above, therefore providing a legacy for our children. Although we have been slow starters in comparison to the Indian and Chinese, at present this is still very much in our hands and is never to late, although the likes of Mr Sainsbury's, Mr Tesco Mr Asda, and Mr Mark & Spencer, are very much on the ball. Remember,  these people and their wife's friends family and thousands more each year, do visit all parts of the world including and especially the Caribbean and sample our great cuisine. These are the people that do spot business opportunities, and have have already caught on.     

It will be no surprise to you that with your inspiration in specific, I have found the business opportunity I have been looking for, although it has always been in my face, or more accurately, "in my mouth". I have put together a draft plan to open a Caribbean take-away, where the menu will be geared toward our community, but the business presentation as a whole, geared towards a multi-racial community. The words: Modern, Clean and Slick will give you some sort of picture.

Please Please Keep-up the good work you and your team are doing.

With Regards,
