There’s a kind of magic in island kitchens—the kind passed down in quiet moments between grandmothers and grandchildren, in the scent of simmering coconut milk, or in the hush of waves just beyond the stove. The Bay Islands Cookbook gathers these moments. With over 30 traditional recipes, it’s not just about what’s on the plate—it’s about what it meant to gather, to share, and to remember.
 
Each recipe tells a story—some whispered in the islands' broken English over a fire hearth, others celebrated through Sunday meals that brought whole neighborhoods together. These are the tastes of resilience, of love, and of cultural identity. Whether you’ve walked the beaches of Roatan, listened to the laughter in Utila’s streets, or watched the sun set over Guanaja, you’ll find something familiar in these pages.
 
This book is for anyone who believes food is more than nourishment—it’s memory. It’s legacy. It’s home.
