Inside an eye-catching building with bright green siding and yellow trim in downtown Whitehorse, diners are being whisked away to Jamaica.

At Pickapeppa restaurant, named after a popular Jamaican sauce, patrons can enjoy Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken, oxtail and fried plantains, among the brightly coloured walls decorated with beach scenes.

Reti says she enjoys sharing her heritage with others, describing Jamaican food as tasty, spicy and flavourful with lots of seasonings. It may be thousands of kilometres away, but the tastes and smells of the Caribbean and Africa are alive and well in Canada's North. Zehabesha has earned several certificates of excellence from TripAdvisor, and rave reviews on the travel information website.

"We kind of got used to 'OK we have a restaurant where we can go and eat food, like home food,'" she says. Originally from Mali, Konate lived in Morocco and France before moving to Canada. She says she began selling juices that are popular in Mali, such as ginger and pineapple or hibiscus flower and mint, before expanding to meals.

Konate, who said she learned to cook from her grandmother, sells her wares at the Yellowknife Farmer's Market in the summer and is hoping to sell her juices in stores. She recently hosted a cooking class with N.W.T. Black advocacy group BACUpNorth as part of Black History Month events in the city.
