In this episode, I sit down with Tyrishma Allen, the owner of Sug Sug Bakery, a Virgin Islands-inspired bakery based in Boston.
We dive into the vibrant culture and food of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Tyrishma was born, and she shares fascinating insights about the islands' history, cuisine, and traditions.
From the rich tropical flavors of guava and soursop to classic dishes like conch in butter sauce, saltfish, and Johnny cake, Tyrishma paints a delicious picture of her heritage.
We also talk about her favorite local festivals, the Danish influences on the islands, and how she's keeping the flavors of the Virgin Islands alive in her bakery.
Plus, she reveals her latest culinary challenge—cooking conch at home! Whether you’re a foodie, a culture lover, or just curious about the Caribbean, this episode is packed with flavor and fun.
