Tasty and delicious food has been at the center of Chef Sharon Young’s family for as long as she can remember. Her culinary journey began in her island homeland, Jamaica under the tutelage of her grandmother, Viola Dawes. “Mama”, as Chef Young’s grandmother was affectionately called, had a treasure trove of cooking tips and tricks that would transform a simple meal into an unforgettable eating experience. This food transforming ability was referred to in the Jamaican culture as having a “flavored or seasoned hand”. In September of 2016, Chef Young launched her brand of Preserves and Salsas under the label "Barbara’s Kitchen" (so named to honor her mother, Barbara Dawes).
