These Upscale Hotels Recognize The Value Of Vegan And Vegetarian Menus – Forbes
The following article was featured on the Forbes website on February 27th, 2019.
You already know you?re not allowed to discuss politics or religion at dinner parties, but, if you still want to cause a stir, there?s one word that?s sure to ruffle some faux feathers (especially at dinner), and that?s vegan. No matter which side of the spectrum appeals to your dining companions, loyalties tend to run deep and emotions high when it comes to living a lifestyle free of animal products; so high, in fact, that vegetarianism, once considered extreme in its own right, is now, essentially, a middle ground that tends to go a long way toward quelling the vegan debate, at least long enough to get through dessert.
Vegetarian and vegan diets are particularly popular with younger consumers (Millennials and Gen Zers) of a more affluent background, and this demographic also happens to be largely responsible for the booming tourism economy. Traveling more frequently and widely than previous generations, the under-35 crowd is keenly aware of the health and eco benefits of the animal-free lifestyle, creating a significant demand for vegan and vegetarian dining options outside of hot spots like New York, San Francisco and Northern Europe. Combine that with the with ever-increasing awareness from older generations (who tend to travel less adventurously but spend more while doing so), and it?s easy to understand why savvier brands are beginning to develop veggie programs at all tiers of travel, but especially in more luxurious markets.
Windsong Restaurant at Calabash Cove Resort and Spa in St. Lucia, featuring 26 villas in an exclusive, adults-only property, caters to the individual dietary needs of its guests without sacrificing its emphasis on innovative dishes inspired by Asian cuisine. Vegetarians won?t find themselves limited to a green salad at this secluded paradise, but can choose from a variety of eclectic options including pumpkin coconut soup with lemon grass; korma curried vegetables with coconut basmati rice chick peas and mixed vegetables; pad Thai noodles with fried eggs, tofu and plum sauce; chayote and yam pie; and more traditionally Caribbean-inspired favorites like enchiladas with brown beans, corn, cilantro and plantains.

Jamaican Ackee-The Forbidden Fruit
Did Kevon tell you it is poisonous?
What is poisonous? The Ackee you are eating, said Evelyn.
I was about to enjoy another bite of my Ackee salad sitting in front of me in a beautiful ceramic bowl and sparkling in the perfect olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. As my fork remained frozen, suspended between the white linen-clad table and my mouth my mind went into overdrive. What am I going to do? As a priority measure, swallow hard and smile.
Pretending I have this covered, there is nothing to worry about.
Of course, I could not resist asking. So I asked Kevon what do you mean poisonous?
From Kevon?s facial expression it was pretty clear this was not the first time the subject matter came up with a guest. Well, not really he said with that island smile.
Not really? But still a little? What do you mean?
And then he explained. Ackee is part of Jamaica?s national dish, Ackee and Saltfish with Johnny Cakes or roasted breadfruit. The fruit, that is prepared like a vegetable grows on a beautiful medium-sized tree.
The trees at Calabash Cove will produce 2 harvests every year. And Chef Thierry always has an eye on them.
The fruit initially green, will turn a bright pink just before it is ripe. Pink you may say, screaming ?don?t eat me I am poisonous?. At the last stage of the ripening process, the pink shell will open up in 3 wings, exposing the actual yellow fruit. This yellow fruit is removed, while carefully taking out a pink vein. It is then poached in saltwater. This will render the fruit save to eat.
Some lovers of Ackee will saut? it right away in large quantities of oil, onions and saltfish.
This particular Calabash Cove dish calls for the Ackee to be cooled off before being mixed with kale, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, olives or other fresh garden vegetables like smoked pumpkin or zucchini.
But Kevon, what happens if the Ackee is not boiled properly?
Well, that could be a whole different story???..
