Maryse is not a chef, but an excellent home cook with a mastery of some of the culinary tricks of Guadeloupe, and she loves to entertain. So, we’d spend hours in her kitchen talking about all manner of things culinary, and I learned some of the tricks of Guadeloupe’s Creole cooking from her. I learned to put a bit of minced garlic into my French vinaigrette, how to make a delicious simple syrup with a hint of tropical fruit, and how to make crabmeat-stuffed deviled eggs.
Ironically, this is a dish that I prepare and serve, but cannot indulge in because of a shellfish allergy. However, it’s a winner and whenever I bring the crabmeat-stuffed deviled eggs to an event, they disappear. While Maryse uses fresh crabmeat, the eggs can also be prepared with canned crab with little loss of taste (or so I’m told!). I’ve equally heard that one bite transports all who taste them to the island that created the proverb “Mie vaut vente peté ku mangé gate!” (It is better for your stomach to burst than to waste good food!)

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
