“My mom, Davina Blakeney, is in my opinion an exceptional cook and shares and continues to provide many nutritious and tasty recipes with our family and friends over the years.
One of my favourites is her Beef and Bean Barbecue. It is so yummy and usually served with her potato salad and other goodies. It’s a MUST HAVE with grilled chicken and ribs at our barbecue functions with the family.” – Gita Blakeney-Saltus
