 Cooking kassava bread by jessicadf
The bakery where we went, they have electric graters to grind the root in to paste. They they put it in a giant, metal, heated Chaussier to cook it to a dry cereal consistency (which can be packaged and used to make porridge). That cereal is then mixed with other ingredients to make patties of "bread", placed on a big banana leaf, which is placed on a large, flat, metal cooking surface, which is heated with firewood below.
I tried the cherry and raisin bread and it was very tasty (and inexpensive). Leave a Comment

You can take there boat over or if inclined walk, it will take an half hour or so, depends on you pace.
The marina area has some fine resturants and shopping.. Take a walk around and see all the boats, and relax with a drink by the water...

A Caribbean Eden is just one description of the award winning Soufriéére Estate's Diamond Botanical Gardens, Waterfall and Mineral Baths. Located within a lush narrow gorge one can understand the 1998 "Insider Award" being given to this haven recognizing it as one of the top 25 " nature experiences" within the Caribbean as well as the "Ste. Lisi Par Excellence" award for the best natural/historical tourism site on St. Lucia. Within the confines of these beautiful gardens lies the essence of French and British history in St. Lucia.
In 1983, Mrs. Joan Devaux began designing and planting these gardens while continuing the restoration of the historical Mineral Baths that were began by her father, Mr. Andréé duBoulay. It was the French governor of St. Lucia, Baron de Laborie who first conceived the idea of constructing the baths in 1784. He sent samples of the mineral water to Paris to be Analyzed by the "Medicines du Roi". They were found to have the same medicinal properties as those of Aix les Bains in France and Aix la Chapelle in Germany.
Upon this discovery, King Louis XVI of France allocated the funds to construct the baths for the benefit of his Majesty's troops. The Sulphur Springs from which the town of Soufriéére got its name are weak spots in the crust of an enormous collapsed crater, the result of a volcanic upheaval of gigantic proportion that took place some 40,000 years ago. Similar hot springs feed the mineral baths today and there is nothing more relaxing that a warm mineral bath within Diamond Botanical Gardens Leave a Comment

Pigeon Island offers an Interpretation Centre, equipped with artifacts and a multimedia display on local history, ranging from the Amerindian occupation of a.d. 1000 to the Battle of the Saints, when Admiral Rodney's fleet set out from Pigeon Island and defeated Admiral De Grasse in 1782. The Captain's Cellar Olde English Pub lies under the center and is evocative of an 18th-century English bar.
Pigeon Island, only 44 acres in size, got its name from the red-neck pigeon, or ramier, that once made this island home. It's ideal for picnics, weddings, and nature walks. The park is open daily from 9am to 5pm, charging an entrance fee of EC$10 (U.S.$3.75). For more information, call the St. Lucia National Trust. Leave a Comment Phone: 758/452-5005).
