Making the perfect Peach Ice Cream From Scratch is not as technical as it may seem. A few simple ingredients you’d expect to see in ice cream, a bit of patience and, of course, an ice cream maker are all you need. With peaches in abundance where I live, close to Winona, Ontario, the peach…
There are few drinks that say Caribbean quite like Mauby, and this Refreshing Caribbean Mauby Lemonade is one of my favourite ways to enjoy it on a hot day. While this isn’t your traditional Caribbean Mauby recipe, it beautifully combines the distinctive earthy, slightly bitter notes of Mauby with the bright, thirst-quenching flavour of freshly…
It’s been a summer of lemonades in my home, so this Strawberry Lemonade fits nicely with the heat-busting, refreshing drinks I’ve been making for Pali (Zyair) and his sisters. The Peach Mango Lemonade went somewhat viral, while the Sorrel Lemonade spoke to those of us more interested in Caribbean flavours. Then there was the Big…
There’s no denying that Cilantro Chimichurri is most closely associated with Argentina and Uruguay, where it’s traditionally served as both a sauce and marinade for grilled meats, especially asado. With a fresh crop of cilantro (coriander) in my garden needing a good pruning, this cilantro chimichurri recipe not only falls perfectly into my “In Season”…
If you’re looking for a fresh, vibrant way to enjoy summer peaches, this Perfect Peach Chutney is one of those recipes I think you’ll come back to again and again. While Peach Chutney may not carry the same deep-rooted popularity in Caribbean kitchens as our beloved mango chutney, I thought it was the perfect addition…

These sausages with peppers are one of those summertime dishes I try to make a few times during the warmer months, though I’ll admit they’re…
Saltfish Buljol Pizza may not be my original idea, but this version here is entirely my own, and I’ll admit, I’m very pleased with how it came together. A few years back, I noticed a pizza shop in Trinidad making their own Saltfish Buljol Pizza, and judging from the reaction online, people were absolutely loving…
When the sweltering heat of summer starts to settle in and the scent of freshly cut grass drifts through the air, there’s nothing more refreshing than a tall glass of homemade Lemonade. This Mango Peach Strawberry Lemonade has quickly become one of my favorite ways to cool down, combining bright citrus with the sweet, fruity…
In preparing this Vegetable Chow Mein, I’m taken right back to my pre-teen days growing up in San Fernando, Trinidad. I remember the food trucks and the busy restaurants along Mucarapo Street, where this humble yet flavorful cabbage-based chow mein was always served alongside fried rice and an array of chicken and pork dishes. While…
Scallion fried rice is not only quick and tasty, but also something I usually make with leftover rice from the night before dinner for a very satisfying lunch. Over the years, I’ve shared many versions of fried rice, and this one continues that tradition of simple, bold flavors done right. By now, you should know…
Black Pudding With Caramelized Onion is not necessarily a replacement for the traditional Refried Black Pudding recipe I shared a few years back, but rather a different and comforting way to enjoy leftover black pudding, also called blood pudding throughout the Caribbean. Not having traveled home to Trinidad and Tobago for Carnival this winter, my…
Every summer, when the string beans start coming in strong from my garden, I look forward to building simple, flavor-forward dishes like this one. This Garlic and Chive String Beans with Cashews recipe is part of my #InSeason series, which celebrates seasonal ingredients I grow or source locally that inspire everyday cooking at home. I…
