Welcome to the kitchen! Here you will find a short video demonstration of how to make three of the island's most well-known dishes: pina colada smoothies, turtle, and tropical fruit salad. Scroll down further for the recipes. 

Famous Pina Coladas

• 2 fresh coconuts
• 1 fresh pineapple
• 4 scoops ice cream
• 4 cups ice

Punch holes in the "eyes" of the coconuts with a small, sharp knife. Drain the coconut milk into a bowl and set aside. To crack the coconuts open, hit them repeatedly in the same spot with the blunt edge of a large knife. Keep two coconut halves (the ones without holes in the bottoms) and discard the other two. Next cut away the leathery outer shell of the pineapple and dice up the fruit. Mix the coconut milk, pineapple, ice cream, and ice in a blender until smooth. Pour into coconut cups and garnish with umbrellas.

Savory Turtle Meat

• 1 lb chopped turtle stew meat
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp blended salts
• 2 tsp cracked pepper blend
• 2 tsp steak seasonings

Blend the meat and seasonings in a large bowl. Fry in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through.

Tropical Fruit Salad

• 2 mangos
• 2 papayas
• 2 bananas
• 3 cups strawberries
• 4 kiwi fruits
• Ice cream (optional)

Peel the mangoes, kiwi fruits, and papayas and chop into cubes. Slice the bananas and oranges. Mix in a large bowl and serve with ice cream.
