About Toast It Roast It

Hey, I'm Jay Whyms — a Caribbean-Canadian home cook with a serious obsession with toasters, cast iron pans, and anything that can be roasted to golden perfection.

Toast It Roast It started as a place to share the recipes, how-to guides, and honest kitchen gear reviews that I wished existed when I was learning my way around the kitchen. Whether you're looking for the perfect potato salad recipe, wondering which toaster is actually worth buying, or trying to figure out the difference between a cast iron wok and a carbon steel one — you're in the right place.

My cooking is shaped by Caribbean roots and Canadian winters — bold flavours, comforting dishes, and a deep appreciation for good equipment that lasts. I test everything in my own kitchen before writing about it.
