Mauritius
Although she moved to London at a very young age, Mauritius always remained ‘home’ to Lilette and there is much she adores about the island. From the excitement and electric atmosphere of the Winter Horseracing in Port Louis, to the hustle and bustle of the market.
It is her love for the island that she captures through every page of Lilette’s Kitchen, with every recipe infused with soul and passion. Her memories are brimming with warming dishes, shared with friends and family over the table, with endless stories to be told.
Lilette spent every Saturday morning visiting the markets, spending her time watching her grandfather sell spices (while munching on chilli cakes and drinking tea). Her favourite street food is chilli (or sweet and sour tamarind sauce) on pineapple, a famous Mauritian-style snack that can be bought from ‘marchand fruit confit’- pickled fruit vendors.

The culture of Mauritius is what makes the island and its people so unique. It is part of the African continent and in the Indian Ocean- the intersection between the two continents. The demographic of the population includes Indo-Mauritians, Mauritian Creoles, Franco-Mauritians, and Sino-Mauritians. Multilingualism is common in Mauritius with its people often speaking a combination of Creole, French, Bhojpuri, and English. Based on a truly diverse population, Mauritians are recognised through their traditional dance, music, crafts, literature and of course, delicious cuisine.
