mi have had variations of this and it's quite good..........and inexpensive
you can a hire a cook too in Negril.........
just ask around and you'll find a lady more than willing to cook for you and/or family.....
when mi had the cottage wi had Miss Elizabeth come 5 days a week to cook lunch and dinner for us.......
plus she cleaned and washed da clothes and did odds and ends for us lazy travelers...........
cost mi around $100US a week for Miss Elizabeth plus groceries........
it was a great deal and a lot cheaper than eating out......and boy could she cook.........nuthin betta

i've *found*
that some of the BEST-cooks
are the men
generally, ANY-male above the age of 15-years-old can cook
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
i haven't been following this thread too-closely
but the *husband*..??... is he Jamaican..??.. ....living ON-island..??..
...if-SO:::>> he CAN-cook fi sure, believe DAT
you have NO-problem
enjoy your trip
in my limited experience(s),
in-Jamaica,
eating & getting & making a meal is NOT a problem
..the stuff is cheap & good & nutritious::: food is a minor $$$-concern:::: it's the ea$y-part of a vacation/visit/trip
the booze & party-ing is what will wreck your budget
and::::>> IF the vacation-er is the '.go-to.'-person for all things financial,
well ______ ______ _____ _____

there are also many variations of Smith's recipe--depending on what you have to throw in the pot--other veggies, fresh thyme.--cook up some fish or chicken on the side. Having a local cook for you is a good idea--and agreed--I have not yet met a JA man who could not cook up a great meal. That said, it sounds like your kids are insatiable.
I don't know much about Searstar lane, only seen it in the dark from the shuttle-
But would it be improper to ask about renting the outdoor cooking area in someones yard?
Pay them for firewood, a couple of pots, and use of the space.
