"At Maureen’s you’ll find smoking jerk pans in the front garden, giant pots of fluffy rice and peas and, in the heart of it all, Maureen herself. This Brixton home chef makes restaurant-quality Jamaican food, from expertly smoked jerk chicken, to meltingly marrow-rich curry goat, to golden fried chicken. It’s mostly takeaway-only but there are a few tables set up in Maureen’s garden for when the weather’s right." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
