When I was in Curacao in October, I attended a cooking workshop with Helmi Smeulders, aka "Carribean Spice Girl. Together we made, among other things, ceviche of lionfish,polenta fries,pikaand a carribean cole slaw and everything tasted equally delicious. I was given her book "Modern Caribbean Flavors," which is really a beauty of a cookbook. Full of delicious recipes, and this is one of her great successes. I adapted the recipe slightly to include more vegetables and make it a proper dinner, but the inspiration for this sweet potato salad with feta and chickpeas definitely came from Helmi.
