Back in 2017, I shared The Ultimate Curry Corn Recipe, and while that’s still one of the more popular vegan recipes in my catalog, this version is just as tasty. However, as you’ll see, this rendition…
Here’s one of those popular spicy snacks we enjoy in the Caribbean, especially with adult beverages. Channa, or chickpeas as most people know it, is fried until crisp, then seasoned while hot so it takes…
About five years ago, we did a similar version of Mackerel In Tomato Sauce; however, in this version, we’ll start with a delicious curry base for an extraordinary curry fish recipe. This is an easy,…
While I’m not the biggest fan of eggs in fried rice, with leftover rice in the fridge, I thought I’d make (and share) a quick meal for lunch. In speaking with my parents and siblings,…
Here’s yet another comforting dish that takes me back to the warm shores of the Caribbean, especially during those bitter-cold Canadian winters. Similar to how we did the Classic Caribbean Coconut Stewed Beef, and you’ll see…
About 12 years ago, I made a similar Pepper Chicken recipe when I competed in a global cooking competition in Seoul, South Korea. Yet, I cannot believe I’ve never shared this recipe with you until…

Lately, this has become one of my go-to recipes for sweet potatoes, as I do with Plantains, Cassava, Breadfruit, and Yam. It’s a classic meal we enjoy in the Caribbean. While I added pieces of prepared salted Cod (say saltfish),…
Here’s another one of those vegan dishes I only started enjoying in my adult years. I’ve always enjoyed fries, too, but as a child on the islands, okra (say ocho) was never something mommy could get my siblings…
The original Jamaican Jerk Marinade was shared in 2011. After many requests, I then shared the Mild version for those of you who love the flavors of Jamaican Jerk with the heat. This is a more…
While the original Coconut Shrimp With Spicy Mango Sauce I shared in 2011 is still a fan fave, I thought I’d share an updated version for you to try. Served with a simple store-bought Thai…
Growing up in the small village of Guracara (Trinidad and Tobago), it’s only natural to use words and pronounce them as generations before you did. Such is the case with two words in particular. Talkai…

It may have been about 16 years ago that I originally shared this recipe, so I thought it was time for a quick refresh. While it’s still vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free, you’ll find subtle differences…
Here’s another chicken dish you’ll find yourself making regularly. A combination of classic Jamaican Jerk and Brown Stewed Chicken. Yes, I’m using the word ‘jerk’ rather loosely, as we can all agree that Jamaican Jerk…
This recipe resembles the Pepper Choka I shared a few years ago. However, it’s reminiscent of the ‘roast’ pepper, which most ‘doubles’ vendors offer as a condiment in Trinidad and Tobago. Usually reserved for true HEAT lovers,…
Agreeable, making ‘jerk’ in the oven cannot compare to the results you get on an outdoor grill, primarily if you can source pimento wood. However, with it being winter in Canada and at the time…
