Who is Charlotte de Berry?

Charlotte de Berry was born in England in 1636. Her sea career started when she dressed as a man to follow her husband into the Royal Navy. Their ship was attacked, and Charlotte's deceit was discovered. She was forced onto a ship bound for Africa, but the Captain made the fatal mistake of assaulting the fiery woman and earning her hatred. She took her revenge by leading his crew in a mutiny, after which she beheaded the villain with a sharp dagger. Instead of ending her adventures there, Charlotte became Captain herself and led ship and crew in raids along the African Coast, and the Caribbean, capturing ships heavy with gold. We'd like to point out that the Elixirs (without the sparkling water and alcohol) could be used in many ways. In a pan sauce for chicken or pork, or to create an amazing vinaigrette. Also to enhance whipped cream for a fabulous dessert topping. These are great ideas, though we're partial to the libations!

If you love plantains, you will love this dish! 8 Ripe Plantains. 1/2 stick of Butter. 3-4 Teabags or loose tea. (optional) Salt and Pepper to taste. Peel and Slice plantains, cover with water add tea either in bags or tied in cheesecloth. choose a tea that you love the flavor of. It will infuse into the plantains, Rooibos will give a nice smoky flavor excellent with BBQ or Jamaican dishes! Any tea you love will work. Drain, mash, add half of the butter, salt, and pepper.

Heat frying pan with butter, add the discs and brown on both sides! Salt and Pepper! You can prepare the cylinder a day or two ahead. I will tell you if I am boiling anything I will add a tea ball to the water. It's great with potatoes, rice, Quinoa. Many (teas) are not actually tea at all, but are herbs. If you start using some of these teas you will open your world of flavors! Depending what you're serving, you can have a sweeter tea, savory, or smoky.I have noticed if I'm making mashed potatoes, the russet potatoes absorb more of the flavor. Serves 4 Enjoy!

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Recipe 1 recipe of Cauli-Rice (recipe below) 1 egg 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella 1 TBS. Seasoning of your choice 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. fresh ground pepper Toppings of your choice, tomato, pesto or Alfredo sauce, cheese, precooked meats* & precooked veggies* Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It is important to get the rice as dry as possible so that there won’t be extra moisture in the crust which will prevent it from crisping up properly. In a medium bowl combine the dry Cauli-Rice, egg, 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella, seasoning, salt & pepper and mix to combine well. Press the cauliflower mixture into an even thickness on the prepared pan, either into a round or rectangular shaped pizza. I kept the crust pretty thin, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is firm and golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and turn off the oven and turn on the broiler and move the rack to up close to the broiler. Top the cooked crust with sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice. Place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and melted. The toppings I Used on this pizza was Jerked Chicken (marinated in Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk) Equal parts Sweet Molasses Papasauce, and Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk. Caramelized onions. 1 Avocado Grated Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese Salt and Pepper on the Avocado Cauliflower-Rice Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk Step 1, 1 head fresh Cauliflower Remove the leaves and hard center core of the cauliflower. Cut into florets. Wash and then allow the cauliflower to dry completely. (You want the cauliflower completely dry and you will NOT be adding any water when cooking, this helps to cut down on the boiled cauliflower taste and smell.) Once dry, fill the bowl of a food processor about half full and using the chopping blade and the pulse action, process the cauliflower until it looks like the size of grains of rice.Spread Cauliflower onto baking sheet and turn oven to 150 and allow to dehydrate for 1 1/2-2 hours. Fluff up the Cauli-Rice with a fork and if desired add a pat of butter, salt & pepper. You can use just like this or create a pizza crust from it!

Sweet and Spicy Bacon

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Ingredients, 2 tablespoons coconut sugar 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon black pepper 12 pieces – thick sliced bacon Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Into a small bowl mix: sugar, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Set aside. Arrange bacon sliced onto baking sheet making sure slices do not overlap. Bake for approximately 7 minutes. Turn bacon slices over and sprinkle sugar/pepper mixture onto slices. Return to oven and bake for an additional 12 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

Table Decor

I've recently been really paying attention to table decor. They're are some beautiful designs on table settings. I would love to know what other people love to see as innovative on dining decor!

World's Best Deviled Eggs

Worlds Best Deviled Eggs

Dozen Eggs

7 tablespoons Mayonnaise ( I make the Paleo Mayonnaise, recipe below)

Green Apple 

3 slices bacon

Caviar

Salt and pepper

Mustard Vinegarette

2 Shallots

4 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar

8 tablespoons Olive Oil

Hard boil the eggs. Allow to cool. Peel

Cut bacon into bits and fry in pan.

Finely mince a couple of slices green apple

Peel and mince shallots very fine.add to red wine vinegar and macerate. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in olive oil. Use a high quality olive oil. Put into squeeze bottle, cut large opening.

Cut eggs in half, remove yolks. Mash the egg yolks with the back of a fork, add mayonnaise. Blend in the crumbled bacon and green apple. Using a spoon or a pastry bag with tip fill egg whites.squeeze mustard vinegarette over the eggs. With the tip of a spoon, add a small bit of caviar to the top. Yum!

Tips for easy peeling. Use older eggs. They are more alkaline than fresh eggs, which makes them easier to peel. Make a small crack in the egg and submerge in ice water.the water will seep between the membrane and the shell.

Paleo mayonnaise (yields about 1 and 1/4 cups)

2 egg yolks

1 tsp mustard (this is optional)

3 tsp lemon juice

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup coconut oil

Technique

Put the yolks in a bowl (blender, food processor) with the mustard, if using and 1 tsp lemon juice and mix those ingredients together;

Start whisking vigorously (blender or food processor on low) while dripping the oil very slowly, even drop by drop in the beginning. You’re creating an emulsion and if you put too much oil at once, it will separate and will be very hard to save. Whisk non-stop and use a towel under the bowl to help stabilize it;

As you add more oil, the emulsion will form and the mayonnaise will start to thicken and you can pour the oil faster at this point;

When all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, add the rest of the lemon juice and taste your creation. You can season to taste with salt and pepper;

Enjoy without guilt and put the store in the refrigerator!

And here you go, it’s that simple. Of course I encourage you to play with it and to come up with new variations. Happy Paleo mayonnaise making!

1 lb Ground Beef or Pork

1 Egg

1/3 cup Ground Pistachios

1/2 cup Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk

1/2 cup Tomatoe Sauce

Coconut Oil or Olive Oil

Mix Jerk sauce and Tomatoe sauce together.  Place browned meatballs into baking dish. Pour sauce into baking dish and bake for approximately 15 minutes!

1. Canned Tomatoes

The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A

The problem: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people's body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. "You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that's a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young," says vom Saal. "I won't go near canned tomatoes."

The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe's and Pomi.

Jabberwocky Jerked Hot Wings

Recipe by Chef Matthew Allison
This is a recipe that has been rolling around my head ever since I started cooking with Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk Sauce. The first time I made it I received high praises. My Oakland Raiders didn't make the play-offs this year, although some exciting teams did. I am not an avid football fan anymore, but this seemed like an exciting year in sports all around. I felt that this would be an exciting and easy appetizer for the big end of the season Super Bowl Party. This not a recipe for "hot wings," and even though they are deliciously spicy already, these can easily be made hotter by adding a minced hot pepper of your choice and as much as you want. At Jabberwocky we recommend Scotch Bonnet Peppers when and where available, but habenaros make a more then adequate substitution.

Jabberwocky Chicken Wings 

5 lbs. uncooked chicken wings, thawed

Marinade:
1c. Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk
½ c white wine
½ c lime juice (aprox. 6 limes)

Finishing Sauce:
1/3 c Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk
1/3 c honey
2 tbls cold butter

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Whisk marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until well blended.
3. Add wings to a large Ziploc with the marinade and coat all wings thoroughly. Marinate at least 2 hrs. This can be done up to a day in advance.
4. While saving the liquid, drain the marinated wings then them bake until they start to brown, about 20-30 minutes.
5. As the wings bake place the leftover marinade in to a medium saucepan. Over medium-high heat reduce the liquid by half.
6. Add the Smooth Jerk and the honey for the finishing sauce and bring to a boil while mixing constantly to ensure a complete blend.
7. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the butter. Stir in the butter vigorously until completely melted and well blended.
