Caribbean Meal Prep in Mississauga and Brampton: How It Works

Peel Region has one of the biggest Caribbean communities in Canada. It also has some of the longest commutes in the country.

That combination is the whole problem. You grew up on oxtail and rice and peas. You know exactly how it should taste. You also get home at 7pm and there is no world in which you are browning oxtail on a Tuesday.

Here is how Caribbean meal prep fixes that.

Why cooking it properly takes so long

Caribbean food is slow food. That is the point of it.

Oxtail needs hours to break down. Curry goat needs the same. Rice and peas needs coconut milk, thyme and scotch bonnet simmered together, not rice and a tin of beans.

Nobody does that after work. So people either wait for the weekend, drive out for takeout, or eat something else entirely.

What meal prep actually changes

You pick your dishes once. Chef Leonora cooks them fresh that week. They arrive at your door.

Then dinner takes 2 to 3 minutes in the microwave, every night, with no thinking involved.

Start with the 5 meal plan if you are feeding yourself, or go bigger with the 10 meal plan for a household.

Fresh, and cooked by someone who knows

Chef Leonora is Jamaican-born, learned to cook in her mother Lily's kitchen and has twenty years of restaurant experience behind her.

Every meal is made fresh for that week's deliveries. No preservatives, no additives, no freezer.

Pick your own heat

Everyone in a Caribbean household disagrees about spice. Every plan lets you choose No Spice, Regular, Medium, Very Spicy or Spice on the Side, so you are not stuck with someone else's setting.

A new menu every week

The fastest way to quit meal prep is eating the same plate for a month.

The menu changes regularly. Jerk chicken, curry chicken, ackee and saltfish, escoveitch fish, coconut curry shrimp, Ital stew and more come through the rotation.

Want to build it yourself instead? Pick your protein, side and vegetable from the build your own plate menu.
