Trinidad and Tobago cuisine will be put on display in fine style at Food Matters Live international trade show at Excel Centre on Wednesday 22nd November 2017. Jus’ Caribbean, a sub brand of CaribDirect Multi-Media has entered into a strategic partnership with trade show giant Food Matters Live to host Jus’ Caribbean Trade Pavilion at the popular Excel Centre trade show in November 2018.
Representing Jus’ Caribbean this year is celebrity chef Sabrina Zeif who is a talented and vibrant cook whose colourful international background strongly influences her original style of cooking. Born in Trinidad, Sabrina’s Caribbean roots sparked her love for flavourful international food, this attribute won her the coveted position as Caribbean celebrity chef at the recently held international Caribbean Food and Drink Conference in London.
Her Trinidadian heritage is mixed, embracinga fiery fusion of Indian, Chinese, African, Portuguese, Spanish, British, Syrian, Lebanese, South American and Creole cultures and cuisines. Her passion continued to fuel whilst living in America, particularly in New Orleans, where she became a connoisseur of the local Cajun style of cooking. Sabrina has also lived in San Francisco, Texas, Switzerland and the UK, and is passionate about bringing the best of global cuisine together.

After many years in the corporate world, Sabrina decided to change course and follow her passion. She has since founded Kitchen Thyme, a culinary experiences company which takes influence from Cajun-Caribbean cuisines and cultures. The business draws on her culinary roots and heritage while bringing together the eclectic flavours of the many countries she has experienced. The experiences focus on creating delicious, authentic food infused with herbs, spices and unique flavour, using only the freshest local ingredients.
Sabrina adopts the Caribbean spirit of fun, laughter and never taking things too seriously at her events which is why her collaboration with CaribDirect Multi-Media on the Jus’ Caribbean Festival project is both opportune and perfect for multi-cultural Britain. All the experiences are interactive, dynamic and full of delicious food. Offerings include Supper Clubs, Cookery Courses, Creative & Collaborative experiences for businesses and private dining events across the country. Sabrina also does demos, culinary & cultural talks and has recently featured on BBC Radio Shropshire alongside Nigella Lawson. (Click Food Matters Live logo for details)
