Gourmet Sweet Treat

Cayman Taffy

Cayman Taffy

It’s not easy, keeping our girlish figures. We count calories, skip desserts and hit the gym even when we’re exhausted. Once in a while, something’s gotta give. Keep your sanity by satisfying your sweet tooth, Cayman-style.

One of the yummiest places on earth is right here in the Cayman Islands: The Cayman Taffy Company.

This little gem of a store opened about three years ago and quickly became a one of the islands most sought-after purveyors of edible souvenirs and gifts. Initially offering more than twenty flavors of delicious mouthwatering saltwater taffy, Cayman Taffy rapidly expanded into a broad range of premium confections including hand crafted chocolates and truffles. Because every piece of candy is made in small batches right here in Cayman they guarantee the freshness and quality of all products. Visitors are able to watch the entire candy making process at the open-concept designed flagship store in 7 Mile Shops.

Two words to remember about Cayman Taffy: FREE SAMPLES. Yep. That’s right…free. It might take a few samples to choose your favorite. Popular flavors include Key Lime, Coconut. Jamaican Rum, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Pina Colada, and Mango.

Stop in soon to get your sugar fix. Chances are you’ll bump into owner Doug McPherson, a friendly guy who is always experimenting with one luscious treat or another. Today he was offering samples of freshly made orange brand chocolate truffles. It doesn’t get much better than that!

The Necessories of Life

Posted by admin

Gawk & Leer is a company dedicated to providing the basic necessities of a well-accessorized life. ”Necessories”, as they are called in Gawk & Leer, are high quality, design-focused kitchen and home accessories sourced from the finest manufacturers in the world. 

Just a few of the premium brands include Alessi, Boda Nova, Edgecraft, Riedel, Rorstrand and Puegot. My personal favorite line is the Janet Torelli handcrafted sterling silver pieces, aptly named ”jewelry for the table”. Santa will soon be hearing about my interest in Solicut knives, designed for gourmet cooks and chefs.

The airy, modern store is located next to Icoa Fine Foods on West Bay Road in Seven Mile Shops. Pick up a cappuccino and a croissant from Icoa and wander around the store, which is so beautifully appointed that it has the feeling of a Chelsea art gallery. This the perfect place to find a wedding present, birthday gift or something to delight your favorite foodie. There are items for every price range, from “unique bridal shower gift” to “major culinary splurge”. The staff is extremely helpful and low key.

The next time a special gift is in order, visit Gawk & Leer to choose the ideal “Necessory”.

Perfect Summer Purses

Summer Bags
Summer Bags

 

The first time I wandered into Funky Monkey, I nearly threw myself at the feet of the owner and wept with gratitude. Finally, a smashing active wear store right here in Grand Cayman! This chic boutique is fabulous enough for South Beach. Located in gorgeous Governors Square, Funky Monkey has an exquisite collection of work out gear, casual wear, beach cover ups, bathing suits and accessories. I have yet to visit Funky Monkey without falling in love with something I didn’t know I needed. This week the object of my affections is a groovy summer bag. Vega bags are hand crafted in Medillin, Columbia. No two are alike. The bags are the perfect size for a kicked-back island weekend.

Pop over to Funky Monkey and ask for Jodi. She’ll have your whole casual look upgraded in no time.

Cayman Sea Salt

Posted by admin

Looking for a local product to take back home? Try Cayman Sea Salt, a 100% hand produced solar sea salt made from the Caribbean Sea. I switched over to Cayman Sea Salt recently and use it as a primo seasoning on grilled seafood, fresh salads, tropical fruits and popcorn. The taste is superior and compares to any luxury salt in the world. The Luxury Bath Salts are a total treat, and come in luscious flavors like Sea Breeze and Jasmine. You can find Cayman Sea Salt at supermarkets like Kirk, Fosters and Hurley’s, and the craft market. You can even pick some up on the way out of town at the airport Jacques Scott Location.
