After growing up in Toronto, moving to Brooklyn, and spending a few years in London, she ultimately settled in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Along the way she's consistently found herself over a stovetop, preparing the dishes her Trini mother first introduced her to, along with all her favorite foods from around the islands--and putting Scotch bonnet in just about everything. Lesley is a seasoned home cook and takes great pleasure in spreading the joy (and heat) of these flavors to her friends and loved ones by way of her famed backyard dinner parties. Better yet, Lesley's young daughter, Desalin, now plays the role of sous-chef, enjoying the flavors her mother and grandmother cherish so deeply.

As Lesley delves into how history shaped each country and territory's cuisine, she shows us what we can learn from each island (such as Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad \u0026amp; Tobago, and Cuba) and encourages us to celebrate the delicious differences. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBelly Full \u003c\/i\u003eprovides basic knowledge on choosing, storing, and preparing these ingredients as well as a mix of traditional and creative adaptations to dishes.
