Fried grouper over black eyed peas and rice

INTERNATIONAL cuisine

During International Week at Tallulah Falls School, each day brings a new set of recipes, often submitted by students from one of 22 countries.

To kick it off this year, the family of eighth-grader Ashton Roache traveled from Nassau and Abaco Islands in The Bahamas to prepare and serve family favorites – fried grouper over peas and rice followed by coconut plantains with toasted coconut cream for dessert.

Roache’s mother Treva Armbrister owns the popular restaurant Juss Grill in Nassau; Armbrister led the kitchen team that included her parents, Edgburt and Princess Tinker and brother Tervallis Tinker.

Director of Dining Services for Flik Independent School Dining David Janecek said having Roache’s family in the kitchen was a great contribution to the week’s plans to highlight international cuisine.
