There’s something so comforting about a hot cup of Dhal on a cool (Caribbean people say COLD) rainy Caribbean evening (or cold wintry night in Canada).. when all you want is something to warm your soul like your moms voice! The very same appreciation we have for this humble Dhal, when accompanied with rice and…
This plait (braided) bread is a MUST in Guyanese households during the Christmas season. And why not… you need something to dip into that Guyanese Pepperpot, to soak up all that gravy and slow-cooked goodness. Here’s my take on this classic homemade bread. You’ll Need… 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 heaping tablespoon dry…
This Cherry Rum BBQ Sauce is a great fusion… Canada meets the Caribbean. Freshly picked cherries from Niagara On The Lake, combined with sugarcane juice and all of her byproducts – Molasses, Rum and Demerara Sugar. Read on.. you’ll love the supporting cast of ingredients which goes into making this insanely GREAT homemade BBQ sauce….
This was my first time planting Seim in my Canadian garden so as you can imagine I was very excited to not only make an awesome dish with it, but also share it with you all. While I did share a curry Seim recipe back in 2010 (I think), you’ll find subtle differences with this…
Confused yet? I know the title says Vegan, but Saltfish! The simple explanation is… the classic dish is called Ackee and Saltfish in Jamaica, so I felt it was the easiest way to pay tribute to this national dish, while still keeping it vegan (and gluten free) friendly. Make sense yet? You’ll Need… 1 can…
I guess I should start off with the customary Nothing About The Recipe Is Caribbean! That said, this Garlicky Herb Mushrooms was one the most requested recipes last year, after I posted a pic on Instagram. It was only natural that it was part of my #MeatFreeMondays series on YouTube. You’ll Need… 1 lb button…
Fried rice and leftovers goes hand in hand. I can’t tell you the joy I feel in my soul when I see leftover rice in the fridge. This time around along with the rice, I remembered that there was ham in the freezer from last Thanksgiving. So I give you, my quick, easy and delicious…
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, Carilie or Bitter-melon and I (Chris) can NEVER be friends. From day one as a young fella on the islands to my grown self – mom could never get me (nor my siblings) to eat this. Maybe the ONLY way I’ve ever enjoyed Carile is when…
Two clarifications to make before we get to the recipe. 1. There’s ABSOLUTELY nothing “Caribbean” about this recipe. However I was challenged to share this Chicken Tikka Masala reccipe via Instagram and I also believe it would be something which would fit naturally within our diverse culinary landscape. And 2. …don’t spend too much time…
Fried Chicken! There are as many ways to make this iconic dish as there are people who claim that their recipe is the greatest on the planet. While I won’t make such a bold statement, I will say this fried Chicken will rival and ‘better’ many of the recipes you’ve tried before. After-all my mommy…
This dish brings back a ton of memories every-time I make it. I first shared this recipe back in 2018 on the YouTube channel and to this day it’s still a hit. As a young fella on the islands, Saturdays were reserved for attending Kung Fu movies at the local cinemas in San Fernando with…
CHOW! A beloved spicy pickle (quick) made in the Southern Caribbean with green mangoes or other tart fruit. Over the years I’ve shared several “chow” recipes with you all. From the traditional mango, to cucumber, orange, apple and the Applewood Smoked Pineapple (still a fav on the website) which was insanely tasty. Like the others,…
