Your resource for genuine Caribbean recipes—simple, step-by-step recipes designed to bring the islands’ flavors into every home, even on the busiest nights.

Hello there! I’m Renee

Also known as Renz, chief cook and bottle washer at ThisBagoGirl. Born in the Caribbean with a big appetite, I taught myself to cook island favorites—yes, even after a few kitchen mishaps. Now I share simple, tested recipes so you can taste real Caribbean flavor at home.

Here you’ll find everything from zesty appetizers and spicy chicken dishes to sweet breads and cool drinks. I test each recipe in my own kitchen, so busy cooks can whip up true island flavors without the fuss. Pull up a chair and let’s cook some island magic together!
