I looove deviled eggs! Deviled eggs are a wonderful treat that you can practically eat any time of day. You can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, an appetizer at dinner, or as hors d’oeuvres at a social gathering. The classic ones are royalty—basic, simple ingredients, no toppings. However, I really enjoy mine with a little flare, and add codfish to it.

I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with eggs. It all started when I was younger. We owned chickens, and I was responsible for helping to feed them, collecting eggs, and cleaning the coop—my least favorite thing to do. Our chickens produced many eggs daily, and we’d go directly from farm to table, where my mom would create perfect eggs, whether fried, in an omelet, or boiled.

She often prepared deviled eggs for special events and parties. I remembered when the Freedom Party, headed by Ms. Eugenia Charles, visited Thibaud during pre-election season; my mom was tasked to prepare food for the entourage, including a few ministers and other Government officials. She was the entertaining queen. Always making the best dishes and presenting them in such an appetizing way. Of course the deviled eggs were gone quickly. Thank goodness they had lots of other food options.

I’ve taken my mom’s recipe and made it my own. You can use your favorite classic deviled eggs recipe, to create this codfish deviled eggs, or you can follow my recipe from scratch to create this lovely treat. I also have a codfish bulljaw recipe that you can also follow along here.

Whatever you do, make sure you make enough, you’ll have lots of requests for seconds and thirds.

Meet Mayma

Sakafete! Growing up in Dominica, food was central to socializing and in abundance. Cooking with my family was one of the highlights of my youth. We grew our produce and raised livestock, which often made it to our kitchen table. With my mother and grandmother's guidance, I discovered my passion for cooking at age 9. We used lots of verbal recipes then. Today, I share those culinary experiences with my children, using the fundamentals of Dominican cooking and making it our own. I'm not a trained cook/chef, however, as I embark on my food journey, I invite you to experience foods from the Caribbean island of Dominica. Let's cook!
