Vacation cooking

BF and I are headed to the Bahamas for a week, and we're staying in a condo with a kitchen.  I'd like to eat most of our meals in, to save $$, so I'm planning on making full use of said kitchen!  I'm torn between wanting to go with a menu plan in mind and wanting to make use of whatever local, seasonal stuff I find in the stores there!  What would you recommend?  How do you approach vacation cooking?  We're both pretty adventurous eaters, so that's not an issue.

  • I agree, see what's available, and go with the flow. Ask some locals - front desk attendants are usually always very helpful. I found that people in the Caribbean nations love it when you ask questions and are interested in their food and culture. Have fun!

  • I agree with pp, I would wait to see what is available when you get there.
  • That's what I was leaning toward, but my type A personality doesn't like not having a plan lol.  Thanks!
