When I think of Jamaica, white-sand beaches, lots of sunshine and thumping reggae first come to mind. But I also think of the delicious cuisine. The fertile soil and deep-blue Caribbean waters provide a rich array of fresh fruits and vegetables and fish that star in local dishes. In November 2008, I was lucky enough to visit Jamaica for the third time. Here are some of the photographs from my trip.
