- Palmer takes an innovative approach to the island's native ingredients to create what he fondly calls "new Jamaican cuisine." He reinterprets gnocchi, Italian potato dumplings, by making them with dasheen and pale-yellow sweet potatoes. He serves dasheen gnocchi with a fresh marinara sauce. Dasheen is a root vegetable grown in the wetlands of Jamaica and elsewhere in the eastern Caribbean. More commonly known as taro root, this knobby brown tuber has white fibrous flesh which develops a nutty flavor when cooked. The Jamaican sweet potato's pale-yellow flesh has a subtle flavor. Dasheen and pale sweet potatoes can be found at West Indian markets. Nestled in the Blue Mountains, Strawberry Hill sits majestically on a hilltop outside Kingston, Jamaica, at a lofty altitude of 3,100 feet.
