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.

Believe me; this dish is spectacular, equally good served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. A sprinkling of red... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
