At our Jamaican food restaurant in the heart of Zimbabwe, we take pride in delivering authentic flavours from the Caribbean to our patrons. Central to our success is the man behind the magic, Chef Tommo.
He’s not just a culinary expert; he’s a Jamaican native with a passion for sharing the vibrant tastes of his homeland with the people of Zimbabwe. Join us today as we delve into the exciting world of Chef Tommo and take a sneak peek into a typical day in his life.
Morning Glory
Tommo’s day starts early, long before the sun peeks over the horizon. He believes in the power of fresh ingredients and makes it a point to visit the local markets each morning. Armed with a discerning eye and an innate sense for quality, he handpicks the freshest vegetables, exotic fruits, and spices that give our dishes unmistakable Jamaican flair.
Preparation is Key
With his market haul in hand, Chef Tommo returns to the kitchen, which he often lovingly refers to as his “playground.” It’s here that the real culinary magic happens. Tommo meticulously preps the ingredients for the day’s dishes, showcasing his knife skills and unwavering attention to detail. The tantalizing aromas that begin to waft through the restaurant early in the day are a testament to the passion he pours into his craft.
Spicing Things Up
Jamaican cuisine is renowned for its bold and flavourful spices. Chef Tommo knows this better than anyone, and he takes great care in blending the various spices to create our signature jerk seasonings, sauces, and marinades. The secret to an authentic jerk chicken or pork lies in the perfect balance of spices, and Tommo’s taste buds are his compass.
