We are very excited to have Nanny Brown's Jamaican Food with us this year at the CPM Summer Sizzler
Sharon, owner at Nanny Brown's, says her "culinary roots trace back to my grandmother, the original Nanny Brown in Jamaica, and then my mother (second Nanny Brown) who herself was a nanny to 16 grandchildren, and who taught me how to put flavours together, revealing many of the generational Jamaican staple secrets to me. Inspired by their passion of cooking, I developed a profound love for cooking, finding it both therapeutic and immensely satisfying to recreate mouthwatering dishes."
"Over the years, I've incorporated both my mother’s and grandmother’s traditional recipes with my own innovations, resulting in a unique fusion cuisine which fills me with pride.
Driven by my belief in what I was creating, I turned my passion into a business, catering for a wide range of occasions, including birthday parties, weddings, funerals, private dining experiences, and casual gatherings.
Through every dish I prepare, I honour my mother and grandmother not only by fulfilling my dream, but by carrying forward the flavours, traditions, and techniques I watched them use, learned from them, and grew up with.
Now, as a grandmother myself, the third Nanny Brown, I feel the circle is complete. Their legacy lives on through me, and with every meal I create, the love, memories, and heritage we share become one."
