Chef Patrice Gilman,
Gladys Caribbean Kitchen
Patrice emerged on the local food scene in 2021, backed by CIA (culinary institute of America) certificate earned in Jamaica and unbridled enthusiasm for a new culinary career. While much island cuisine incorporates local vegetables and proteins, jerk seasoning is wonderfully versatile way to enliven any ingredient. When added to grilled chicken, infuses bold flavour into creamy pasta. Chef Patrice blends exuberant flavours with artistry and is gaining fast fans with her signature flair.
