With a range of draught, bottle and canned beers
including Caybrew, CayLight, Ironshore Bock and White Tip Lager, this
brewery has become a firm favourite of those who appreciate a pint of
the good stuff. Have you ever wanted to try a sip or sample of wine before you commit to
buying the whole bottle? Click through to find out more. If you have visions of delicious dishes and happy guests dancing in your
head, you’re certainly in the right spirit, but is your home ready to
make that holiday daydream a reality? Taking place in Silver Palm Lounge on 22 June, Summer Solstice promises
to be a white hot celebration of summer, chilled with Moët & Chandon
Ice Imperial Champagne. For all that Camana Bay has to offer, until recently there was one glaring omission – somewhere to do grocery shopping. Beer is a pretty important thing. After all, as Frank Zappa once said
“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it
helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons,
but in the very least you need a beer.” Stepping into Bella Roma, the new Italian eatery in Buckingham Square,
is a bit like falling down the rabbit hole and emerging in a charming
Italian village shop where the very best cheeses, cured meats and
freshly baked breads you could wish for are made following
generations-old recipes. The name Kurt Tibbetts needs little introduction in Cayman. Also known as former Leader of Government Business, former leader of the opposition, he can now add a new, but much less political, title to that long and illustrious list - executive chef. Let’s be honest; as much as we would all like to spend our lunch hour enjoying a beautifully prepared and presented lunch, maybe with a glass of wine, at a beautiful oceanfront location, those lunches are the exception, not the rule. A new year is always a
good time for fresh starts and life changes, and Dunkin Donuts, the
international brand famed for their delicious sweet treats - as well as the
more recent addition of low fat, low calorie choices - has some exciting new
beginnings in store for Cayman. When it comes to combining diving, dining
and a brilliant location on the water, Cobalt Coast is as close to perfect as
one can get. Summer entertaining season is here and it’s time to take advantage of the warm weather by getting together with family and friends. Meats including burgers, steak, hot dogs, and chicken top the list of the most popular foods prepared using a grill. On an island packed to the rafters with fine dining
establishments, the Sunshine Grill is something a little bit different. When you live in a place that is a vacation destination,
your experience of the place is very different to a visitor’s. But occasionally
it’s refreshing to change your perspective and briefly step into the
holidaymaker’s shoes. Brunch a Cayman tradition. According to the song, only “mad dogs and
Englishmen go out in the midday sun”. Bars up and down the Seven Mile Strip boast about their location, yet few, if any, of them can match Eastern Star Bar and Lounge out in East End. What is it about the coconut? The green, yellow or brown nut is the ultimate symbol of paradise. Just saying the word ‘coconut’ can alter an Eskimo’s ponder from glaciers to beaches. Flaked or baked or in a classic island calypso, coconuts are a taste of the tropics, so it is appropriate that the Cayman Islands Distillery recently launched a coconut rum. There is nothing like an Italian family-style dinner to bring people together. Sitting around a table, sharing a variety of dishes brings a whole new dimension to dinner. Add in a cooking demonstration by Chef Ercole Musso of La Dolce Vita and you know you’re in for something special. What is Sunday all about for you? For many people, Sunday is Fun Day, and that means either jumping in the car to take a Cayman-style road trip to Northside or East End, or booking Sunday brunch at one of the many restaurants that are now offering the all-you-can-eat-and-drink feast. When it comes to sticking to a diet, a couple of problems tend to arise.
One is trying to get the right nutrients while keeping the calories
down and at the same time trying to stave off hunger. The other, and
generally for more problematic one, is finding something to eat that
doesn’t taste like cardboard, or even worse, makes you wish you had
rather eaten the box it came in. Lunchtime can be a fuss of freneticism where the last thing anyone
thinks about is flavour. Sustenance is the keyword, with a quick stop
off at a fast food joint or snatched sandwich at the desk often the only
nod toward a vital meal. It’s all you’ll keep talking about. You’ll start laughing when you think about it. It’s what’s on your mind. Tuck in to Tukka
February 01, 2011 If you get peckish in the middle of the day, keep your appetite in check until you get to Tukka in East End. Whether to help the budget or eat more health food, cooking and eating
at home is becoming more attractive than ever. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and often the busiest time,
too, as family get-togethers and holiday celebrations quickly fill the
winter months. This holiday season, you can save time and avoid chaos in
the kitchen by taking a few simple shortcuts. With family get togethers and visitors from overseas, Christmas is the
perfect time to bring a bit of Caymanian cooking to the table. “The Cook-Off is a highlight event for the Cayman Cookout because it
features local talent in an international spotlight. It reaffirms that
Cayman is truly the culinary capital of the Caribbean and that culinary
talent is brimming on the island. Not since the release of Nelson Mandela has so much attention been
focussed on South Africa as with the 2010 FIFA World Cup. To showcase its new gardens, the Brasserie restaurant began hosting a
series of ‘harvest dinners’ in January. Cayman might be a melting pot of cultures, but for many, what goes into
the Cayman cooking pot remains a mystery. So why not put away those
French or Italian cookery books, push aside your mother’s family recipes
for a while, and learn how to cook a Caymanian classic. As the temperature outside rises, the enthusiasm for cooking often
wanes. Incorporating new dishes that do not require a lot of heat to
prepare while still being different from a standard salad can really
help to make Fish for thought
January 5, 2010 With a new year full of new possibilities ahead, many people are
thinking of ways to make this year a better one. Fatty foods, smoking,
lack of exercise and similar issues are often the first to be addressed. The traditional sports bar’s menu is usually nothing more than a burger
and a selection of side orders with the emphasis on fries, all washed
down with copious amounts of beer, of course. Man vs. Food
January 5, 2010 Eating, in general, is not a competitive sport, although it would seem
that some consider it so. Put a bunch of guys together, and how much
they can eat will always be a point of discussion. As is fitting for a
sports bar, the Dog House in Grand Harbour has laid down two food
challenges for those who think they can stomach it. Chilled Nectar
January 5, 2010 Nectar is nestled in Seven Miles Shops on West Bay Road, its darkened
windows giving no hint of the decadent, lamp-lit lounge inside.
As soon as you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed by the lush,
blue, velvety interior. Dining tables are tucked behind long, flowing
curtains and the seating is soft and comfortable. Dolce Vita
December 1, 2009 It is rare to experience the good life over lunch, but at Dolce Vita that is exactly what you will find. Hidden in the far corner of the West Shore Centre, it is perfect for a quick lunchtime getaway. A taste of Home
December 1, 2009 Grand Cayman’s latest restaurant, Home, is looking to create a buzz with tapas-style food at recession-busting prices. Located in Treasure Island Resort on West Bay Road, the newest culinary hotspot is the brainchild of several local investors. According to Des Byrne, Home is offering something a little out of the ordinary. Ritzy breakfast
December 3, 2009 Sunday brunch has become a weekend tradition in Cayman.7 Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is offering Cayman residents and its resort guests something new to enjoy: a champagne breakfast experience on Saturdays.
