Tashianna recently moved from New Jersey to Nottingham, UK with her husband and she experienced a culture shock upon living in England 🏴. Her biggest struggle upon adjusting was embracing the food. The fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 were nice upon arrival, but she wanted something wholesome that would pack a nice punch in her stomach like the Caribbean recipes she has grown up with. Tashi searched for English recipes and stumbled upon roast beef. She recalled this was her husband’s favorite and she wanted to cook for him. Although, she is not familiar with the recipe, she searched, “how to make roast beef”?
Fortunately, for Tashi KaribeTV had a video on making Caribbean style roast beef. At first glance she felt that the recipe may be too much as she currently live with her husband. Using her foodie skills, she assured herself that the leftovers can be used to make a roast beef sandwich. What made this recipe special is that it showed how to make it in the oven. The weather in England can be fickle throughout the day, so Karibe’s recipe was a must try.

Tashi was eager to try Karibe’s recipe, because compared to the other food she has been eating in England, everything tasted a little bland. She now understood the Karibbean way of cooking Caribbean style roast beef.
