Real Bahamian Flavor, Made Easy
Launching a line of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable Bahamian foods—crafted with tradition, built for today.
Convenience Without Compromise
Small-Batch Heritage in Fresh, Frozen & Shelf-Stable Form
From The Bahamas, With Love
I’m Raideesha Francis—Bahamian-born, culinary expert, and food industry contributor—and I’m finally bringing a dream to life.
Growing up in Nassau, food was never just food. It was memory. It was joy. It was how we celebrated, connected, and healed. I’m launching a line of authentic Bahamian dishes and pantry products so that anyone, anywhere can experience that same feeling—conveniently and with no compromise on quality.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Global Flavor, Rarely Found
The Bahamas is a top destination, but our food? You can’t find it easily outside the islands. This project changes that.
For Expats, Foodies & the Culturally Curious
We're starting with an online store and virtual kitchen—serving frozen, fresh, and pantry-ready Bahamian favorites nationwide.
Authentic, Not Commercialized
No shortcuts. No watered-down flavors. Just real Bahamian food made from traditional family recipes and expert hands.
Shelf-Stable Goodness
We’re crafting export-friendly staples like sauces, spice blends, and dry mixes—so the taste of home is always within reach.
Support a Dream. Spark a Movement.
Your support helps us test, perfect, and launch this line with integrity, impact, and heart.
WHAT'S BEING CREATED
- Frozen, refrigerated, and shelf-stable Bahamian dishes like Bahamian Johnny Cake Dry Mix (just add water and bake).
- Pantry-ready sauces, spice blends, and dry mixes
An online store and virtual kitchen to deliver the real taste of The Bahamas—straight to your door
