Transcript:
The Caribbean islands are divided into geographical groups: The Greater Antilles include the large islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico; the Lesser Antilles describe the small islands that curve in an arc from Puerto Rico south to Trinidad near the coast of Venezuela.
The Lesser Antilles are divided into the Leeward Islands in the north and Windward Islands in the south. North of the Greater Antilles lie the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, a group of small, scattered islands that are technically in the Atlantic but are usually considered part of the Caribbean.
The complex history of the region has created a wonderful mix of cuisine. European tastes have blended with the spicy influences of the Arawaks, Caribs and Africans to produce a delectable culinary adventure.
