Suzanne’s book, My Ackee Tree: A Chef’s Memoir of Finding Home in the Kitchen, takes readers on a personal journey of food, family, self-discovery and motherhood that leads Suzanne home—in the kitchen, closer to her Jamaican heritage. Suzanne’s food philosophy is simple: to create nutritious, flavorful and comforting foods made with local, accessible ingredients.
