Caribbean Cuisine History Historically, Haiti won their freedom in 1804 from the French government. In order to fully appreciate Haitian food, it would be enriching to learn about its history, to better understand its influences and its tasteful, yet diverse medley of cuisine styles. Starting in 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean island for the first time, settling with the Spanish for a good 25 years. The French colony imported many African slaves into the island to care for their vast sugar cane crops, therefore, this is how Haiti obtained its African, Spanish and French culinary influences. While the African cuisine offers exotic cuisine styles, the Spanish influence offers the spice and the French influence offers refined recipes, creating a pretty unique cuisine. .
