Cream Cheese Corn Pie
I always loved corn pie except for the fact that most of them contained eggs. I was looking for a recipe for the eggless version for a long time. Then, at a potluck at work, my boss brought this as his side dish. Below is the recipe as he gave it to me. I add […]
Read MoreMaking Trinidadian Curry Chicken The Super Simple Way
There are so many ways of making good curry chicken that it was hard to pick a recipe to share. This is one of my super-favorite dishes to eat with rice and sliced avocados. The version below I got from Foodie Nation, a really exceptional website and YouTube channel in terms of content about Trini […]
Read MoreRoasted Asparagus
When asparagus season rolls around, we indulge in them by using this recipe – it’s easy, fast and delicious. I first ran across this method on the internet, in a recipe by Laura Vitale. She uses parmesan cheese, which I love. My mother is not too keen on parmesan (she calls it “pum” cheese) so […]
Read MoreThai Sweet Chili Salmon
This is the perfect dish to prepare for a weeknight dinner – easy, quick and delicious. I came up with this method because I love combining salmon with sweet sauces, so why not use Thai chili sweet sauce for a change? My chickens love it so now it is on our dinner rotation regularly. I […]
Read MorePasta Yazzy – Squid Ink Pasta With Alfredo Sauce
I was so proud of my little chicken when she came up with this method of preparing a fat pasta dish. I thought that for someone who does not cook, it was quite original. We were checking out the cupboard when her eyes focused on some squid ink pasta and a jar of Alfredo Sauce. […]
Read MoreCaribbean Corn Soup
I cannot remember how many times, after landing at Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain, we used to go straight to the Savannah to get a cup of corn soup from a vendor. Sometimes we would eat the soup right there, other times; I would take it to the hotel room and relish it […]
Read MoreCaribbean Stewed Oxtails
Stewed Oxtail is one of my favorite things to eat. I do not make it often because it is time-consuming and not exactly the healthiest thing to have on a regular basis. When I do make it (2 or 3 times a year), it’s an excellent treat for special occasions. This recipe is from Chris […]
Read MoreCaribbean Green Seasoning
This seasoning is essential in my kitchen. I add it to almost everything, from chicken to fish, to vegetables and tofu. It makes foods bright with flavor, injecting that ineffable Caribbean touch that enhances an ordinary dish and catapults it to the next level. The first person I got this recipe from was Lera Fortune. […]
Read MoreIs Ketchup The Secret of Happiness?
Mommy adores ketchup; it is almost an addiction for her. She puts on on everything from scrambled eggs to macaroni; cooking would be unfathomable without the addition of this ruby-colored condiment. I always thought it was strange – this all encompassing obsession with gloopy tomatoes, that is, until recently when I started adding it to […]
Read MoreTurkey Wing Soup, A Family Tradition
We have a family tradition that we have been practicing for the last ten years – on the day after Thanksgiving; I buy the Christmas tree and while the chickens decorate I make turkey soup using the leftovers from the day before. Over the years, I have tweaked the soup a little, using fresh […]
Read MoreSimple Korean BBQ Ribs
This dish is simple and delicious. I got the inspiration from Seonkyoung Longest . She used baby back ribs for her recipe, and I used short ribs. Because short ribs are not as thick, I did not boil them first. I also charred the green onions on the grill, instead of using it raw as a garnish. These […]
Read MoreChef Sabrina’s Egg Scramble With Blistered Tomatoes And Crispy Kale
I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Sabrina Dora López in a brunch at Paradise Farms. The food she prepared was glorious and she was very generous to share her special egg scramble recipe with me. Believe me; this dish is spectacular, equally good served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. A sprinkling of red […]
Read MoreThere Is An Octopus In My Kitchen
My love affair with octopus began a long time ago, when I first moved into my own apartment and spent lots of time experimenting in the kitchen. I remember clearly driving all the way to North Miami, to a place called Lorenzo’s, to get a fresh octopus to cook an Italian recipe I got from […]
