called rainbow restaurant we're actually coming here on Saturday we're gonna go get octopus right out here and some sea urchins incredible spot right here alongside the road so rainbow restaurant by Caribbean Flavor Cuisine and look at this got a little beach you have the restaurant here that's where we just have the beer love this spot incredible what a beautiful day huh well not so beautiful but beautiful setting right all right let's go is tall is her body right and as you already know we have a beer named so the kuboli is actually a breakoff from the name white I'm gonna help you remember the name I'm gonna give you a bad joke that will help you remember the indigenous name of the island and the badger goes like this A guy walks into a bar and he sees a cardinal man having the conversation with the bartender then he hears about the kalinago man says Reply the guy shouts one is not enough so why two kuburi okay right that's bad because it actually works I gotta ask you questions so Christopher Columbus came here and he's the one that named the island so if my understanding he called it Dominica because it was discovered on a Sunday so in Spanish it's Domingo in Italian it's Dominica right so Latin Dominica Dominica yes perfect Sunday also Dominican Republic is named after Sunday also yes well but the American public was Santo Domingo right and then they made it changed it was after yeah exactly they changed it shared the same root oh it's gone yeah this was flooded bro this was like a river right here on this bridge this was the river yeah that was right there wow oh by the week two hours can't drive on the bridge what's your side my brother but give back the money hey take back your money for that license you buy he literally took half the road there bro what's wrong with that guy there's 13 volcanoes in the Caribbean Eight are located here in Dominica incredible and right here we have the sun setting sort of right because it's Mountain so it's like going and coming what is that is that a pig oh there's one of the rats right there foreign so it takes around an hour to get from the airport to port's mouth Portsmouth is this the biggest city but it's not the capital what's the capital city actually what you need to know is Portsmouth was the first capital of Dominica okay that's changed by the British because the early settlers um because I'm possible has a lot of surrounding swampland they were afraid of contacting malaria so they move the um City to Russo you know rules of the capital of Dominica is named after the Russo Reed the rosary essentially is like the wild sugar kid um today we use Rosa Reed for roofing fencing at some crafts baskets and the likes it's actually for arts and crafts so Roswell was populated with that wild sugarcane and they had to cut it down forearm thing now the neighboring um village to um Roseau is called Canfield and like the Navy pigs it was a huge cane field today we still have the old main Cultural Center where that's where they used to grind the kid they can't stop they have some ruins there um it's a cultural center as I say when we go up to Russell side we're gonna stop there and see what's going on it's the month the cultural month our ministry of um culture and new Affairs yeah they actually have they have a branch in there so we can put aliens so this is the month to come

walk in look at look at all the avocados guys it's like a avocado Festival here avocados are in season right now so Larry what are we doing back here today some juices juices yeah okay Farm City or Golden Apple and ginger I'm sorry passion fruits and we have pink grapefruit pink grapefruit yeah and right here we have the sauce you guys have no idea this is one of my favorite things is pigtails right Bigfoot oh pig feet because they do pigtail and pig feet right the difference with this one it's smooth some of it is smooth what so it's salty and smooth it's the combination of the flavors it's like a pig uh pig feet Ceviche that is like the best uh I guess I mean as the closest thing you can get to it right because you have pickles in here so it's a bunch of pickles right so we got cucumber onions carrots some hot pepper some lime green juice I need to eat like ASAP like ASAP yeah let's do wings wings as an appetizer let's do it so you want to crab some wings uh yeah my man [Applause] that's gonna fry it in for ShopRite and remove them from the oil [Applause] I still don't want him getting crispy I I think the fan is messing with clean you know I think so too yeah Larry this is gonna be epic I cannot wait to eat this food oh here we go here we go wings are almost done [Applause] wow okay that's the first step do you want to go with the jerk jerk stylings and get him a fast spray get them a little crispy leave them here we're gonna give you frosting so here comes the dust to start Larry seasoned the chicken wings with paprika chili powder salt and black pepper seasoning to add depths of flavor is standard throughout the Caribbean you'd be hard-pressed to find any dish in the islands that isn't seasoned to Perfection Larry had a special treat for us to go along with his chicken wings his own line of Caribbean barbecue sauces Original Barbecue guava barbecue mango habanero and jerk barbecue first up was the original barbecue The Original Barbecue was Smoky sweet and savory and paired perfectly with a tender and crispy fried chicken next I tried Larry's guava barbecue which had a nice tropical Flair that added a fruity sweetness that really brought the chicken wings to Life as a spicy food addict I had to try the mango habanero sauce next it had the perfect blend of heat and tropical sweetness neither of which overpowered the other finally I tried the jerk barbecue which was a robust mix of savory and sweet with a nice kick of heat that tingled my tongue and the back of my throat all of Larry's sauces were great but this one was on another level okay so now we're gonna try some of the juices I don't know surprise me yeah let's go thank you so sorry [Music] that's passion for right yeah this one is a pink grapefruit it wouldn't happen and the ginger oh wow combination yes well then Apple and Ginger thank you it's amazing I can't wait Larry how should I start sorry so real hibiscus [Applause] I can't believe that's natural it's so deliciously sweet too man oh my gosh it's incredible so it's not the Hibiscus flower that we usually see right it's a different type of flower family of the Hibiscus family of the Hibiscus but not the tropical ideas yes because I have the Hibiscus flower my tortoises eat it every day yeah they love it but that is not the same thing and this one was fashion fruit passion fruit looking so good oh I love Belgian fruit they get my teeth into that meat but this is unreal wow another winner for me King grapefruit pink pink because of the polo yeah [Applause] I haven't had that before I've had pink grapefruit but it's been a while yeah so we have a white grapefruit and then we have a pink grapefruit there's a white grapefruit right here oh that's it right there here I'll show you guys right here this one right here yeah so this is this is the white yeah that's the white so the pink I've seen it as well when you cut the pink the flesh is pink of course awesome it's a golden apple and the ginger now this this will cure anything hangover it's medicinal this feels it's that Ginger very nice and potent yeah so I'll say I love them all but this is my favorite still sorry oh so real yeah oh I'll continue this with the food so next sauce so we're just gonna try straight like that yeah it's ready right all right so David that's a sauce the differences in our songs indominator with smoke and smoke the pig feet right so I'm gonna give you this piece this is smoke it's salty and smoke we have cucumbers we have hot peppers we have pimento peppers we have lime juice it's not that hot you could add some pepper sauce if you need to but that's that's the sauce right here sometimes we have bread and we take the bread and we dip it in the sauce so I'm gonna try this with you I'm gonna have this piece that's nice next we jump down the sauce which consists of pig feet cooked with various herbs and spices it had a mostly gelatinous texture but there was also a bit of tender meat on the bones the juicy fat melted in my mouth and the juices from the meat were good enough to drink how you put it into the flour [Applause] I'll see and then the demonstrated stretch and when it's relaxed you can stretch it some more do you really want to you're gonna have to try one of these you know me yeah yeah the trade stretches [Music] so now we have we have two techniques you could use it here and use a piece of here if you don't have a peel or use a pan but you know normally with the pizza pan this year okay so how you do flour in place of flower with red flowers and we're gonna stretch right here like this [Applause] there's some sauce on me for it yourself some sauces me oh yeah blending something new please salt and a few more ingredients so you're gonna notice I have a cookie filled upside down your second I have this upside down it's easy you just stop it's right and then you could you can adjust the shape to the next one on to the next one okay perfect let's do this yeah so the first leak is done if you don't have a peel use the pizza pan and a spatula and here we go slide it [Applause] yes it's amazing [Music] you like [Applause] so the first one we're gonna do we're gonna do the smoke my Mai with a few very toppings on there we have to smoke my knife what we call the one in Dominica a dolphin so that's a smoke my mind The Salted and smoked right and we're gonna go with toppings like bell peppers sprinkle something okay and then I do a mixture of cheeses cheddar yeah mozzarella and then it's back in [Music] [Applause] this time we're gonna do meat lovers with some ready toppings let's stretch it a little more this thing we're gonna have dv2 I don't know if he wants to I'm stretching it right yeah yeah it's kind of stretchy you can just tap yeah yeah so are we good here hmm reminds me of my great-grandfather back in Italy playing around with his dough [Laughter] all right so some flour right yeah gotta move this guy on right yeah two hands always stretch it out a little bit yeah perfect what do you guys think yep perfect very nice all right so add some sauce right saw some tomato sauce not too much just I personally don't like tomato sauce and my pastas or my pizzas I like creamy sauces with with pastas creamy or straight oil with some seafood you know look at that beautiful so next up over here oh yeah first bake all right oh okay remove the first one so we just took out the pizza and now we're putting in the second one all right so here we go open the oven whoa hot and then you just like uh sort of oh that's hot oh my

everything's good everything awesome awesome welcome well thank you thank you you're welcome so what are we doing here so this is our family farm uh it's free of farm it's about four years old we brought it shortly after uh cat five hurricane Maria so we'd sort of been traveling throughout South and Central America learning about permaculture and regenerative agriculture um sort of small Gatherings of people and sort of what it takes to feed those people and we loved it we felt more and more in love with it and eventually wanted to set up a spot of our own so about four years we bought this place and it's we haven't looked back yeah how many how many acres you have here Seven Acres okay and it's an old uh avocado and citrus farm so once we came through and mind you it was destroyed after the hurricane drops of trees completely snapped off um things like that but uh luckily we ran into a gentleman who helped us with an excavator and we were able to go inside of this property and sort of employ a lot of the Earth working permaculture techniques of hugel cultures and swales that we'll sort of walk through but and also planted I don't know 30 or 40 different varieties of tropical fruit so mangosteen and lychees and yabotika oh wow all sorts of stuff they're all pretty small but in a few years we have a couple grafted ones I think we'll have some of the most exotic collection of fruit on the island vanilla tonka bean coffee oh yeah I can't wait let's try something you like wet my appetite right now man amazing yeah yeah so then just to do the real quick of the property it goes down this tree line okay with all the big trees in the background got it yeah and then sort of loops around up here into this forest and then back up to the road so it's kind of like a little rectangle that goes down and that was one of the main reasons also we had that wind break that protected this Farm a lot from the hurricane and we saw that with giant avocado trees that survived yeah didn't get there so a lot of the other firms in this area don't have a Windbreak like this so that was a really attractive piece about this piece of land that we saw yeah and also for being in Syndicate we're closest that's actually the tallest peak in the entire country that's covered with clouds right now that's Mount Diablo 10. but this is a very flat piece of property so we have one of the flatter pieces in this room so first tree broad fruit yeah look at this red fruit the best guys this this is like I mean it's one of the national Cuisines right yeah sure right here red fruit guys love this so yummy after they roast it yeah oh so many things huh this is called a cranberry hibiscus cranberry hibiscus cranberry hibiscus so you can eat this oh you can eat it oh yeah um oh that's over in Costa Rica we used to use it a lot on our salads and things here listed as an ornamental and we're like no we've used that dozens of times like a little soury taste and it's just so beautiful and salads and sandwiches and teas you know what I love about it gives me like the sensation of like how basil is so you know you feel it right away you think about a basil you know this one I would know too yeah such a cool flavor I love it this is amazing I had such liveliness to a salad you know what I mean yeah you add a little bit of that you have this like crunch of citrus in it it's amazing wow this is the sort of more aromatic oil lemongrass so you can smell that you could chew on it we make tea out of it it was good that's the time so I'm just giving you some time huh like a big leaf time that was tasty dude the size here must be epic whoa oh you should definitely set up something with salad like a salad bar so this is these are the Mounds right you can kind of see these two here we'll walk you through that real quick that's the highest point of the property is sort of in that corner right so all of the tremendous amount of rainfall that we get kind of moves down the property like this so it flows down yeah it flows down because you're on a slope so it gets stuck yeah and then it put feeds water to all of this and underneath these little Mounds we have like the debris of the hurricane so we have logs at the bottom and then we have like our stick piles that we make but this was all of the debris after sort of a CAT5 hurricane so there were giant trees and snap bits of everything we laid them on these contour lines right so that when the water rolls down these Mounds are somewhat level so instead of the water dialing off on either side it just sits and holds level and then slowly soaks back in and at the bottom is the wood then we put the sticks on top of that then we put sort of a muddy like viney grassy layer and then he came in inside these Alleyways and took like a nice strip of topsoil and put it on top incredible and then we went on top and we planted over 30 40 different varieties of fruit trees medicinals ground Provisions all the different things everything here is edible or medicinal and since you're a foodie hold on I'm gonna give them this one first cilantro yeah nicely done so that's the wild one but those are those sharp bits they are a little spiky but it's cool on Troy yes very nice very trainy yeah yeah yeah exactly I'm sure Shadow Minnie yeah we got shot this is a shadow Benny here but it's it's tough it is you should um well yeah like I said one of these that's amazing yeah you're addicted with that a couple of those those I love man wow this is so good because it has like a I don't know if it's like lemon or something interesting cranberry maybe that's what it is that's what it is that's a Citronelle Bay so it's kind of a rare bay leaf that smells like citronella yeah this is delicious you make a tea out of it the whole house smells like perfume it's wonderful someone's gonna eat it oh just smells good thing oh wow but they all have these fragrances huh that's why we want to open up a little little spot where people can learn about the different flavors and have kids be exposed to chefs and learn about sort of all the wonderful ingredients that exist here so we're really excited and it took us a long time to sort of collect all these things Okay so oh this is a gummy tree and this is the sap coming out people call this gum so as you can see it's nice and gooey gooey it's related to the frankincense family so if you smell it it smells smells a lot like frankincense yeah in Mexico this is like a smell similar to kopal we're gonna light it and it also you can use it extremely flammable careful put all that gooey acid is very very hot but you can use it for incense people say to cleanse the house it's good for your lungs the smoke of this give your lungs huh yeah yeah we even heard that somebody they lay like a paw yeah here and it was a sort of light isn't that nice oh it's good it's good wow so related to fragrances I saw frankincense in Oman okay yeah that's like the place to get it right the primo one the premium yeah yeah it's amazing in the in the South they have a I love this tree every fire that we start this one definitely helps out you can burn these you know this is perfect kindling so oh yeah this is a huge boom Oh this is moringa which is one of our favorite trees here on the farm it has so much nutrients in it has more protein than meat has more vitamin C than Citrus it's a coppice tree which means you can keep chopping it and it'll just keep popping out so you can see we cut it once two more grew out cut once three more grew up and then underneath here this is turmeric so turmeric is actually a root so the turmeric's at the bottom but this is what comes out so here's actually you can see a little bit of turmeric right here oh here it is look turmeric fresh from the ground this is like the thing my mind here yeah wow everything's edible huh yeah so incredible look at this right here keep popping yeah yeah so this is uh callalure edible hibiscus um you can eat it just as is but you can also my favorite way this is the smaller one that we have but I love rolling things inside of it and boiling it so like one of our favorite is we get uh green bananas we mash them down and then we mix it with different herbs and then we roll it in this and cook it in coconut milk wow that sounds amazing I would also use this like for like a like a veggie uh Taco yes instead of the you know the corn tortilla use that I love your place thank you this is so good this is a vanilla Vine right there vanillavine wow can I step here let me see so guys this is the vanilla Vine so just starting huh yeah like maybe a few months old eight months old something so this is a banana Circle so this is one of the sort of old school permaculture techniques basically it's a circle a pit right that's about for bananas maybe seven feet wide and you want to go down about four feet so what you do with all the soil is you take it out and you Mound it around the outside and then in that mound you can plant bananas like we did um but you can plant other things papaya Ginger all sorts of stuff but the point is is that back when these Mounds you can see how they're kind of clear in the first stages of these Mounds we had to weed like crazy because we had sort of put old uh weeds and Vines inside the mound so we had to clean them all up by hand we don't use any kind of herbicide or anything like that and you can't really get a machine up so we clear all the Mounds and then dump all of the debris into these pits right and these pits can take them all the way up we filled one up 10 12 feet in the air and then in a few weeks all of that biomass just goes right down and bananas love there's nothing mushy stuff with all the rain that we get just feeds our bananas and lets us have really nice racks so obviously this is the younger one that's a little bit older and right here is where the hummingbirds come and do their little magic and a lot of people in Dominica cut the flower off we actually keep it on because we like the hummingbirds to be around so we always keep those but I'm from a big city my grandparents came from small villages you know so I love small village this has been like the best stage of my life yeah it's an adventure and you become a centurion right you could live 100 years we want I mean with this like air quality nothing like it so we got here this is oranges are just coming into season this is actually my favorite one I'm sorry I don't have a skilled opening techniques so this is you got earthy fingers like fingers and she got you a grapefruit over there yeah yeah we'll keep walking and I'll give you biking oh wow look at that grapefruit and what's the other one orange this one's our like Flavor explosion orange like sour and sweet all at once oh wow all right so here you have uh some of the first of the orange season and of the pink graper season so take what you like so I'll try this one first right time filling over here on fruit nice and juicy yeah you're right yeah a little sweet a little a little bit yeah a little bit of everything right the other ones are a little bit more you know a little kind of gone myself so fresh I like that the skin yeah I love the little pockets Little Boxes yeah yeah look at that they're so good that's where the magic is oh it just pops right we're just popping everything today it's like it's like caviar it is right look at these little like yeah look at that one that was a good one open it up whoa one oh it's so fresh it's unreal that's amazing all right so I think we're good I mean I can eat this all day but I won't be able to eat later oh we have still avocados oh we should climb up the tree why don't we go get the baby right now okay going get you guys Baba Dean or the um when I say this wow all right here's Bobby Dean oh is that supposed to count it's massive I've never seen that catch and store and hold water all inside of these giant so even these trees like that tree is three years old right imagine 30 feet tall something like that and I believe that it has a lot of the nutrients a lot of the fertilizer sort of built into the system so that's why I think these permaculture techniques work so well because they use the sort of natural landscape instead of trying to fight it so often this one or is this one is let's try this one before sweetly the flowers are edible and also the leaves are packed with nutrients and we also these are like our signature salad or we usually in pestos it kind of has like a sweet kind of nutty flavor um we love it then it grows prolific so the goats love it the livestock love it too so anything that like has all these sort of multiple uses we love to sort of use as much as we can all right so let's see let me try this you think like maybe pesto something like that but it has a sweet thing a lot of greens have like take some time bitter break it down gotta break it down for sure that's why we chop it up usually and yeah it's just kind of like that oh yeah yeah but you feel it um a little sweetness a little teeny bite I mean for a leaf though yeah well everything's incredible all right all right this is a Trinidad Scorpion pepper or a chocolate pepper chocolate pepper yeah so it has beautiful color on it uh if you are brave enough you can taste it it's nice and spicy I'd say comparable to habanero oh right away right away no and now I have to run off my hands because now my hand starts up but nice flavor too if you could if you can find it you know I mean it's flavor here you just can't get to the seeds the seeds will kill you yeah dude why edible uh give me something give me something dude this is hot this is really hot whoa I told you yes why does anybody want this pain for what we make a lot of stuff it's a burner blush right now I feel it in my lips now my lips it's like oh you're break dude I'll give it a second no man I love chili I'm actually thinking of putting a pepper in like here you know that's great I love chili yeah we love it too wow everywhere we walk amazing amount of fruits and veg love this place so what's next Carambola oh yeah oh star fruit this is the first year of this sweet Carambola this is a sweet one that's delicious you put it in the fridge and you eat a little chilled and it's so wonderful but yeah

that's so far good harvest today huh it's awesome man this is great whoa okay so we're walking through the rest of the property to go to a swing like Jane of the Jungle right or Tarzan area of the place and this is in permaculture they like to have a zone five which we kind of keep forced it right so that you can always kind of be looking back at how nature would do the job itself right so that's why we're not we have any plans to cut any of these sort of old growth forest trees instead we want to plant things like coffee and vanilla and cacao all underneath but don't mind the shade and then maybe have little places where people can camp and spend time in the forest pair it to roost up in these trees every day those beautiful and peaceful back here so so it's only called zone five five is like it goes Zone one through five so the one is going to be closest to your house right all the things that you sort of get on a daily basis got it it's like I'm 10 again here we go oh wow oh

finger oh no this is the hard part for me the cooking yeah I don't cook I don't cook nah I just like the heat I enjoy cooking I'm sure I'm sure I enjoy watching and I I like the taste of food after watching the whole process because it's something different you know like when you when it hits your table and you never saw the ingredients you don't really feel that is true the same I guess I don't

beautiful dumplings which are basically bakes right yes they're bakes it smells great smell it huh super thin huh yeah foreign [Music] who doesn't love avocado I know I know right come on come on who
