Recipes contributed by Jean-Georges and his team at On the Rocks at Eden Rock, St. Barth’s.
Introduction by Christine Drinan, Founder and Editor-in-Chief
One of the best evenings I had in St. Barth’s was the time I spent at Eden Rock, and my dinner at Jean Georges’ On the Rocks. The vibe of the restaurant is an effortlessly cool St. Barth’s chic, where they had a DJ from Paris spinning music in the background. I love restaurants that don’t take themselves so seriously, while delivering a culinary experience for their guests.
I had a chance to share aperitvo hour with the owners of Eden Rock, David and Jane Matthews, which meant a few bottles of champers, beautiful appetizers and easy conversation. I still think of that crispy rice sushi topped with an assortment of avocado, salmon and tuna. Our time spent with David and Jane was a highlight of our trip.
Jean-Georges and the Eden Rock team generously contributed today’s recipes for our Cooling Your Jets, inspired by St. Barth’s. I don’t think I’ll be able to match the ginger fried rice preparation, but I’m going to spend the summer trying.
