McAnuff recommends starting with basic ingredients such as garlic, onions, and Scotch bonnet peppers, which are essential to many Caribbean dishes. He also highlights the importance of seasonings like curry powder and all-purpose seasoning. For those new to Caribbean cooking, he suggests using an air fryer for jerk chicken or a pressure cooker for slow-cooked dishes like goat meat.
