HOLLYWOOD, FL, February 11, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- When in Florida you can never run out of Seafood restaurant choices. South Florida has a highly diversified food culture where everybody always boasts of their healthy seafood recipes.
Chef and Author Michael Bennett's current menu represents an elite melange of our South Floridian cultures. Many South Florida residents that live in South Florida come from Caribbean island nations, namely; Jamaica and the Virgin Islands (which are British), Cuba and Puerto Rico (Spanish), Haiti and Martinique (French). Each of these individual-istic cultures have lend its own culinary flavor to South Florida's unique dining landscape.
After returning from his four year culinary journey in the Caribbean, chef Michael Bennett utilized these culinary experiences to develop a "Caribb-ican" vibe at his current post as Executive chef post at the very popular Bimini Boatyard in Fort Lauderdale which has been a launching point for his first and second cookbooks.
After two years working with this exceedingly visable South Florida cookery conception, chef Michael's Boatyard menu apprises diners for which Caribbean isle each recipe is dedicated to. People can choose dishes from French, Spanish and British Caribbean islands. An example of this is when chef Michael pairs the familiar Gulf Grouper with an uncommon Santo Dominican twist of mango, plantain and coconut.
When it comes to food, Miami and South Florida lives up to its name as the Magic city - that is everything just seems to work here. Chef Michael explains, "we as chefs never fail to surprise people from different walks of life with our excesses in our tropical seafood cookery. There has been different forms of Caribb-ican cuisine but, this style is the most easygoing and acceptable for a broad spectrum of Americans".
In his first cookbook, In the Land of Misfits, Pirates and Cooks (2009), is a collection of recipes from his current position at this vital local Caribbean favorite. Author Michael Bennett replicates the best-tasting food from around the Caribbean. Chef Michael promises a gastronomical blast of flavor for all food lovers and cooking enthusiasts. This is a true salute to the Caribbean's quintessential definition of food as a celebration of life.
