My grandmother always filled my soul with love, and it’s that not-so-secret ingredient called love is what gives Althea’s jerk sauce it’s sweet and spicy island flavor.
Since I was two-years-old my grandmother, Nettie Green, would take me to the Jamaican markets where she sold produce and her special sauce seasoning. She taught me all about food and flavors and loving others. I am who I am today because of her. The way she poured love onto people, showering them with tenderness and care inspired my passion for cooking. Althea’s Almost Famous was born from that same passion, and to this day I carry the values her compassion for others instilled in me. Rest in peace to my best friend, my spiritual guide, and my rock.
