At an age when many people are enjoying a quiet retirement, 97-year-old Jamaican Aileen Chin has become the internet’s favourite adopted grandma, winning over millions around the world with her recipes, warmth and infectious personality. Although she later moved to Miami to be closer to family, the recipes and traditions she perfected in Jamaica never left her. What started as a simple family project in 2023 has blossomed into a global phenomenon across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. I love to see people enjoy my family recipes. What draws people in is not only her decades of culinary experience and treasured family recipes, but also her unmistakable Jamaican warmth, humour and personality.
