Windjammer
Wins with “Mange Gwanmaman”
Windjammer
Landing Villa Beach Resort has a well-deserved
reputation for impeccable and warm service and
gourmet dining. Its international, regional,
St. Lucian vacationers and property owners,
truly enjoy an ambiance like none other. Windjammer
has been known for their versatility and uniqueness
in food preparation, with the use of local ingredients,
some grown in their own back yard garden.
On Sunday 25th July 2010 the resort took part
in the “Rhythm and Spice festival”
which was held at Beausejour Cricket Grounds.
The festival coincided with the Homecoming promotion
which was designed to attract St. Lucians living
overseas to come back home, at least for a little
while. Several hotels and restaurants participated
in the culinary showcase which was the main
attraction of the festival.
Windjammer’s culinary team headed by Chef
Bill, designed a menu around the theme, “Mange
Gwanmaman” (Granny’s Cooking). |

Chef Bill’s
passion for cooking began twenty-five years
ago as head chef in the south & western
pacific, and he has held the position of “Culinary
Director” at the Windjammer Landing
for the past 3 years. Chef Bill confesses
that he has enjoyed cooking with the local
ingredients of the island, and since being
introduced to some special herbs, has encouraged
his team to use as much local ingredients
as possible in food preparation. The team’s
strength in use of local ingredients was showcased
as the judges sampled foods from all the various
booths and observed preparation and adherence
to proper hygiene. At the end of the day,
Windjammer walked away with the top prize
of “Overall Winner” as well as
“Cleanest Booth” and “Best
Team Spirit”.
“Utilizing local ingredients and old
style recipes, traditional coal pots and the
cooking skills of chefs who have worked at
Windjammer for twenty years was the key to
our success,” says Chef Bill Munn. “I
am very proud of our team and the results,
but the award that means the most to me is
“Best Team Spirit”, he added.
World Travel Awards voted Windjammer Landing
Villa Beach Resort & Spa as “St.
Lucia’s Leading Hotel for 2008”.
