Mr Lettsome’s appointment comes as he has been a part of the Virgin Islands Festival and Fairs Committee (VIF&FC) for years as a champion of local food and culture.
Mr Lettsome lived with his grandmother, the late Esther Penn Dawson, where he learnt how to make tarts, cakes, sugar cakes and guava berry liqueur.
As time progressed, he expanded on his knowledge of tart, from pineapple, guava and guava berry to include pina colada, pumpkin, mango, sweet potato, cashew, cherry, jackfruit among others in the VI.
