The 20th Anniversary of Christian Louboutin

Happy Birthday, Mr. Louboutin. Forget Marilyn’s birthday song to President Kennedy. Christian Louboutin’s 20th anniversary of the “China Red” sole is so much hotter. Beloved is a mild way to describe the obsession women have with their $700-plus Louboutin heels. Few things in the world have the power to make you feel so immediately more attractive. To mark the occasion, Louboutin is launching a limited-edition capsule collection of bags and shoes both in boutiques and in collaboration with Neiman Marcus.…

Caribbean Cravings

After entire days spent on the water – either on a yacht or swimming close to one – it almost seems strange to dine on land. It must be the endless hours in the sun or maybe our inner “Treasure Island”peeking through, but our appetite seems to change in the BVIs. We’ve created a menu based on produce local to the island and centered around tropical flavors and fish. Even if it’s been a while since you’ve spent a carefree…

Mango Sorbet with Coconut-whipped Cream

After spending a long day in the sun out on the water, we always crave clean flavors and light textures. This sorbet, which is easy to make, soothes the palate and provides a subtle ending to a meal. Just be sure to use very ripe mangoes or you won’t get the creaminess the dessert (and you) deserve. Yield: 2 to 3 servings In a saucepan, add sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it reaches a…

Grilled Snapper with Fried Okra Fungi

Seafood is a sure thing when eating in the BVIs; grilling it outdoors and pairing it with citrus and herbs is just the next logical step. Okra is a popular vegetable on the island, and frying it solves any slime problems. Fungi is a local take on polenta. Here, it adds a comforting element to the overall dish. Yield: 4 servings Preheat grill to 375˚F. Score outside of fish several times. Brush inside with olive oil and stuff evenly with…

Yield: 4 to 5 servings 2 ripe bananas cayenne pepper, for dusting kosher salt, to taste Preheat oven to 200˚F. Peel bananas and, using a sharp knife, cut into very thin slices.

Conch Fritters with Habanero Aioli

Various takes on conch fritters can be found throughout the Caribbean, but we like to add aromatics to the batter to give it a little more flavor. If spice isn’t your thing, then swap the habanero with grilled peppers or a combination of herbs. Yield: 16–20 fritters In a sauté pan on medium-low heat, add oil. When oil is shimmering, add onion, pepper, and garlic. Season with salt and cover tightly. Stir occasionally. Sweat aromatics until onions are translucent, about…
