I'm Lorraine, the proud founder of Tantie Lorraine's, a small-batch Caribbean food brand handmade in Surrey, UK.

​

Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, I grew up in the countryside, raised by my aunts and grandparents and surrounded by a large, loving group of cousins. As a child I rode on my grandparents' donkey as I accompanied them to their land to collect oranges, coconuts, cocoa, mangoes and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Those experiences never left me they shaped the way I think about food, and the values behind everything I make today.

​

Now living in Surrey, I started Tantie Lorraine to share my passion for Trinidadian cuisine with the world. Every product - from my award-winning Scotch Bonnet Jam and Lime Pepper Relish to my Trinidadian Black Cake and Punch a Crema - is handmade in small batches using only fresh, natural ingredients, with no artificial preservatives or additives.

​

In 2019, 2021 and 2024, Tantie Lorraine products were recognised in the Great Taste Awards by the Guild of Fine Foods; the UK's most respected independent food awards. In 2024 our Scotch Bonnet Jam was awarded two stars, the highest rating in the range so far.

​

Through Tantie Lorraine, I aim to share the rich and diverse culinary heritage of the Caribbean, and to bring people together through the power of good food. I believe food has the ability to connect people from different backgrounds and cultures and I hope my products help foster a sense of community and belonging, wherever you are in the UK.

​

Whether you're a fan of fiery heat or simply curious about the bold, authentic flavours of Trinidad and Tobago, I invite you to explore the full range and find your favourite.
