Jenny's Kitchen

Jenny Pinkard started cooking for the public about 5 years ago when she opened her first establishment in Burrell Boom, where she lives. The restaurant, also named Jenny’s Kitchen, is located at the new entrance of Burrell Boom Village and still operates from time to time, but not regularly.

Today we spoke with two of Jenny’s employees, Lorna Jenkins and Genevieve Milligan. Lorna said that she started working about three years ago with Miss Jenny. She loves cooking and knows that people love to eat and enjoy a nice plate of food- not to mention when it is cooked on the fyah haat- a delicacy for all Belizeans.

They prepare everything you can think of when it comes to game meat, including Deer, Hicatee and Gibnut. Vegetables dishes, callaloo, lettuce, cucumber and tomato are available with stew beans, split beans, and even butter beans. Tasty fyah haat creole ducunu, boil up and tamales can also be bought; the boil up being one of Saturday’s specials.

You can also get fresh squeezed natural juices including orange, watermelon and lime.

Preparation time varies, said Lorna, but when you have to prepare food for big events, such as the Agriculture Show, horse races and La Ruta Maya, they would get up at around 4:30 in the mornings to start “cheffing up”. The man who makes sure that there is always a fire bubbling under the pot because he gets the firewood is Ansel West.

They are opened from 11:30 in the mornings up until 3:30-4:00p.m. in the evenings.
