Toronto author Ann Vanderhoof's newest book, 'The Spice Necklace: My Adventures in Caribbean Cooking, Eating' has inspired a unique food-inspired Caribbean getaway.
Cap Maison, a boutique resort on St. Lucia, most recently known as the setting for scenes in ABCs The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love, is giving guests the chance to create their very own food memories. Click here for more on the resort and The Bachelor.
Now through December 18, 2010, this luxurious hotel will offer a 3-night "Spice Necklace Experience" package for two, which includes a Villa Suite, guided tour of the Castries Central Market and all meals cooked by Executive Chef Craig Jones of Cliff at Cap restaurant, using the array of island spices and fresh local ingredients that Vanderhoof deliciously discovers during her journey by sailboat through the Eastern Caribbean.Cap Maison is even including the St. Lucian aphrodisiac cocktail the author refers to as "island Viagra".

Very very nice, love the necklace, going to look into the book! thanks
Found the interview with the author very interesting . What a lovely way to travel on this boat. Will try some of the recipes, sound so delicious and not too difficult
Loved the excerpt from the book - being old cruisers ourselves - Ann "gets" the feel exactly.
Great article, I tweeted it
