Today we’re working with chef Andre Fowles. He is an award winning Jamaican born Chef who learned the passion of cooking from his grandmother as a young boy. This experience inspired him to pursue a career as a professional Chef. After graduating from the esteemed Culinary Institute of America, he came on to the cooking scene quickly and impressively by becoming a champion of Food Network’s “Chopped” three times. Chef Andre has also been featured in Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, the NY Times and Eater.

Dish #1: Roti King Crab Tacos

1. Humanely dispatch the king crab and boil it in a pot of water, chopped onions, scallions, thyme, garlic, and scotch bonnets for 6-10 minutes.

2. Cut the king crab in half, and using a scissor, cut the shell of the legs to expose the meat.

3. Make roti by mixing flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, water, and little bit of oil. Rest for 15-20 minutes.

4. Make curry aioli by blending garlic, scallions, onions, fresh thyme, scotch bonnet, and all spice. Take the sofrito and fry on a pan. Add curry powder and salt. Mix with mayo and lime zest to finish it.
