Jamaican cooking demonstrates fusion food at its very best - combining the use of European herbs, indigenous ingredients and African cooking techniques. The result is a cuisine that’s hearty, robust and full of flavour! To start the meal we’ve got sweetcorn fritters served with the Caribbean’s favourite condiment: hot pepper sauce. For the main event is the ubiquitous jerk chicken - no busy street in Kingston would be complete without its mouthwatering scent in the air. Here it’s served with rice flavoured with allspice and thyme, and cooling coleslaw on the side. To round everything off we’ve got some fruity and tangy hibiscus cheesecakes complete with a spiced butter biscuit base!

We loved this spice kit, it's been one of our favourites by far! Please do this one again soon.

It's fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed this delicious Date Night recipe - look out for this box coming back in December 24 / January 25!

This was very easy to make and was very tasty!

Such a gorgeous, vibrant colour - we're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tangy flavour and found it nice and simple to make too!

Very tasty dish!

Great to hear how much you enjoyed this dish!

2/5

Tasty enough with the hot sauce but probably wouldn’t do again

Sorry to hear that you wouldn't rush back to make this one again, Andy - those fritters look amazingly crispy though!

5/5

Amazing, a really easy to follow recipe pack, with easy to source ingredients. Definitely wanting to make this again.

This all looks amazing, Rachel - great job! And those heart-shaped dishes for the dessert are so sweet. Perfect for date night!

5/5

Simply delicious. But how do I buy the jerk seasoning and fritter spices ?

We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, Jonathan. I'm afraid we don't sell the component parts of our subscription boxes, but we would recommend taking a look at the 'Make it again' section on the recipe card, which will tell you how to recreate a simplified version of each spice blend yourself. We do also sell a Jerk Chicken blend as a refill for our BBQ giftbox - you can search for this on the website, or drop us a quick email if you're struggling to find it!

5/5

Probably the best date night box to date. The fritters were brilliant and we loved the main. I’ve had the dessert before and it is always lovely and this was no exception

We're so glad to hear how much you loved this one, Kirsty!

Amazing date night in Jamaica, reminds us of Caribbean trips! Perfect balance of hot and spicy with a cool and creamy coleslaw and a dreamy Hibiscus cheesecake. Thank you The Spicery for making a Friday date night epic!

This all looks so delicious, Laura - great work! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the sunny Caribbean flavours, and that it brought back happy memories too.
