Bak Fritay :
Haitian Street Foods

Nowadays, dishes are perpetually reimagined and refined.
Street food provides the rawness and authenticity that we crave.
It gives us such comfort because it strikes a chord within us that
reminds us of home. With this cookbook, I invite you into
my own home and offer you a gateway to a key part
of the Haitian culture.
Hoping that you truly find as much joy in these recipes
that I have had in writing them.

Please, remember to keep cooking with love.

Always striving to bring high Haiti’s gastronomy, culture and pride.

Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It’s about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity.
