Behind Every Recipe Lives a Story
Growing up in a West Indian household, food was always what brought the family together. My mom would spend hours in the kitchen making all sorts of mouth-watering foods — usually with whatever was in the cabinets and pantry. I loved to eat then, and I love to eat now. So cooking was more for survival (good food survival, that is).
I hope to preserve the essence of these memories with my cookbook — a compilation of perfected recipes, loved and shared throughout the years, from my family to yours.
One thing. There are too many recipes to share in one space. So here are some signature recipes to start. Enjoy!
— Chef Prince
What’s Cooking
Trained in modern kitchens but raised on his mother’s pirogues and his grandmother’s crab backs, Chef Prince brings a third perspective to Desire Food: the cook who learned the classics by heart and now puts his own spin on them. Plating, technique, seasoning sequences, fire — he’s not replacing what came before him, he’s adding to it.
His signature dishes lean into bold flavors and clever twists: salmon muffins that turn leftovers into a centerpiece, foil-pouch steamed salmon with pineapple and craisins, and his now-famous oven roasted salmon with the secret seasoning sequence (salt first, then granulated, then flaky — trust the order).
Coming Soon
More cookbooks. More recipes. A whole world of flavors he’s been perfecting:

- Guyana Chow Mein — with roasted corn, diced green pepper, and ground turkey
- Oven Roasted Red Snapper — steamed with pineapples, nectars, sweet onion, red onion, and garlic
- Curry Chicken — with soft baked potatoes and wicked curry sauce
- ROTI ROTI ROTI — “Roti makes everything better! So we gwan put Roti on everything and everything in Roti.”
- Holiday Classic Dishes — spinach quiche, big turkey leg, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry jelly — oh my!!
Stay hungry. The story continues.
Good Food… Good Fellowship.
