Celeste Croxton-Tate was featured in Boston.com’s article, “The dishes that shaped some of Boston’s Black restaurant owners”.
Growing up in Roxbury, Croxton-Tate would oscillate between watching cooking shows on WGBH and observing her Caribbean neighbors making vibrant, spiced curries.
“My culinary background stems from sitting in the kitchens and watching my family and neighbors use a myriad of fresh and dried spices and herbs for dishes made from scratch,” she shared. “My favorite [dish] was, and still is, jerk chicken with coconut rice and peas and fried sweet plantains.”
