With a wealth of talent creating, celebrating, and sharing fantastic soulful Caribbean cuisine, the fabulous Wendy McGuire, the force of nature behind Windrush Cuisine, has worked in product development, hospitality, catering, home delivery, cookery classes, and the media, and is passionate about bringing people together through her delicious food.
We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Wendy when she delivered a specially curated Dinner Box straight to our door. Packed with tasty, flavourful Caribbean-inspired dishes, the meals are either ready to eat, or ready to heat at home.
Our pack contained golden Corn Fritters for starters with a tangy sweet mango sauce (and for the more adventurous tastes, a fiery fermented Yellow Habenero with Pineapple hot sauce). The main event was a whole Jerk Chicken, with Jerk Sauce, Rice n Peas, Greens, and a Vegetable Gumbo.
And Dessert was a coconutty Banana Bread and Butter Pud: Caribbean comfort food! All the dishes were simple to reheat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer, and came with clear cooking instructions, so we were seated at the table in less than 45 minutes, enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal with minimal faff!
There are new menus each month, featuring fresh new ingredients, with wonderful flavours and cooking styles from across the Caribbean. Dates and delivery options are available on Windrush Cuisine’s social media channels and website, and Wendy specialises in creating menus that cater for a wide range of dietary requirements without compromising on flavour, presentation, or enjoyment, including vegan and gluten free options.
In Wendy’s own words, “I’ve always believed that food is far more than something we just eat: it’s a storyteller. It carries our memories, marks our milestones, and brings people together in a way nothing else can.”
And we couldn’t agree more!
