St. Croix Source  ::  Source Staff

Chef Tahirah is known across the land and sea for her daring tastes and creativity deriving from her personal communication with fresh food.  A master chef for over 30 years, Tahirah draws from her knowledge of fine Southern, nouvelle-vegetarian cuisine executed in a Caribbean style true to island food culture. You can try her pastries, muffins, and famous loveburger daily at Polly's at the Pier in Frederiksted. She is a force in and out of the kitchen, and one of the top slow food chefs in the region.
