It was such an honour to contribute as the narrative architect for Food is Family, bringing together many years of recipes, stories, and the cultural threads that bind our Bermuda community.

This project was about the brilliance of the people who shared their recipes, their memories, and their love. Special thanks to Kennita Perry, W.O.M.Y.N., and everyone at Bermuda College for trusting me to help tell this beautiful story.

Happy belated 50th Anniversary to Bermuda College!

The timing of this book’s release reminds us that the right moments reveal themselves when they’re meant to. Food truly is family, and I’m grateful to have played a small part in preserving that legacy.

With Bermudian pride & gratitude,
Cha’Von Clarke-Joell

Food is indeed family! It is also an essential part of cultural webbing and preservation.

Thanks to your coverage of this book and highlighting the role of food in preserving our traditions. Local cuisine is indeed different these days; in fact, tantalizing; yet we must never lose the essence of that which is truly Bermudian Cuisine.

You made it clear that homemade takes time but is well worth it!
