Where to start, and questions (tap to open)

Oxtail, curry goat, brown stew chicken, escovitch fish: Jamaican food needs Jamaican seasoning. For oxtail, get an oxtail seasoning and a bottle of browning for that dark color. For curry goat or curry chicken, use Jamaican curry powder, which has more turmeric and allspice than Indian curry. Pimento goes in almost everything.

Questions we get

What is browning sauce?

A dark caramel sauce used in Jamaican cooking to give stews and oxtail a deep brown color and a slight bitter-sweet taste. A little goes a long way.

Is Jamaican curry powder different from Indian curry?

Yes. Jamaican curry powder usually has more turmeric and allspice, so it is more yellow and a little sweeter.

What is pimento?

Pimento is the Jamaican name for allspice. Use whole berries in soups and stews, or ground pimento in rubs.
