Caribbean food is now part of Britain’s national appetite — from jerk chicken at Carnival, to patties on the high street, to Saturday soup at Grandma’s house, and sorrel during the holiday season. Behind every bite and memory is a deeper story and meaning.
This exhibition is a journey of exploration into how the Windrush Generation brought not only their flavours, but their memory, resilience, cultural creativity, and techniques to post-war Britain. It traces the journey of food as comfort, survival, celebration, resistance, and sustenance.
This is more than a culinary display.
It is an archive of migration, a testimony of invention and reinvention, of adaptability and of community.
This is a Windrush story — served hot, seasoned like only we Caribbeans know how, and rooted in love and passion for the islands and their cultures.
