Jamaica’s island flavours to ignite Beijing

WESTERN BUREAU: Executive Chef Maurice Mullings will take Jamaican cuisine to China this week, leading the island’s first official food festival in Beijing as Jamaica celebrates its 64th anniversary of Independence. For Mullings, executive chef at S Hotel Montego Bay, the assignment is unlike any he has undertaken. “I’m excited about the prospects and I’m committed to leaving an indelible mark in China,” he told The Sunday Gleaner ahead of his departure.
