Over the years I’ve shared about 30 + Soup Recipes and to be honest and frank, I’ve barely touched the surface when it comes to Caribbean and Caribbean inspired soup recipes. Such is our love for soups throughout the Caribbean. While this one is not your typical thick and ‘stew’ like variety you’d normally enjoy…
While Bodi was never on my top 20 list of things mom would cook while growing up on the islands, it’s definitely grown on me in my adult years. Yes, I’ve shared MANY Bodi recipes over the last few years, but this one is as traditional and basic as it gets.. without sacrificing flavor and…
There are many variations of making/cooking cornedbeef (from a can) in the Caribbean, making it easy to not know them all. Each family will have their version and while it may not be YOUR version, there’s no need to cornedbeef shame anyone (smile). There were mixed reactions from fans after I posted the video tutorial…
Curry Chicken With Potato And Spinach is a HIT in my home, especially when we have buss-up-shut (paratha) roti to dip into that rich flavorful gravy and scoop tender pieces of chicken with pieces of potato, in the same motion. You’ll Need… 3 lbs chicken (legs with back) cut into pieces3 tablespoon olive oil6 cloves…
Luv me some summer! This delightful Stuffed Snapper was done on the propane grill in the glorious sunshine outside, but you can always use your everyday indoor oven with just as good results. For an even better outcome, rock it on a charcoal grill. Basically any fish will work, I just happen to only like…
Absolutely CORRECT… this is NOT a Caribbean Recipe. However it’s something I make during the hot summer months on my outdoor grill and/or when we go camping in the outdoors, as you can prep the ingredients in advance and take it with you to remote locations. You’ll Need… 5-8 hot dogs (franks)6-8 strips bacon1 medium…
While the comments do take on a positive nature for the most part, for a few people (never gave it a try) the idea of Curry Tuna (from a can) is a bit repulsive. Join the discussion on Instagram. I can guarantee you that it’s an incredible curry dish and you’ll be amazed by the…
I did it again.. Apple Kuchela, that iconic spicy condiment enjoyed with curry dishes, traditionally made with green mangoes in the Caribbean. While almost identical to the original recipe I shared about 10 years ago, you will find more tips and explanations in the video below than when I first posted the recipe. You’ll Need……
Yet another classic recipe from my childhood days growing up on the islands. Curry-Stewed Chicken with Pigeon peas (which were freshly picked / shelled) and potato, which was usually made when mom didn’t have a lot of chicken and needed to feed everyone. You’ll Need… 3 lbs Chicken thighs (skin and fat removed)1 1/2 tablespoon…
While not my choice for a side to Pealu as with many people, I do enjoy coleslaw during BBQ season, especially with spicy Jerk Chicken or Pork. Crunchy, tangy with a slight sweetness, and the creamy overall consistency is perfect to tame down or add balance to the heat from fiery dishes. You’ll Need… 1/2…
When you’re in the mood (as was I) for a delicious slice of Pineapple Upside Down Cake but you dislike baking (too precise for my liking) nor do you have the time to make one from scratch, you reach for a boxed cake mix and get busy in the kitchen. Do you enjoy your Pineapple…
Here’s another version of Fried Rice I make when there’s leftover cooked rice in the fridge and a can of Ackee in the pantry. This rendition is a take on Classic Jamaican Ackee and Saltfish (salted Cod), which happens to be one of my favorite breakfast dishes. You”ll Need… 3-4 cups cooked rice (chilled)1 tablespoon…
