There are tons of benefits of living in North America but as an island boy who loves my belly, I starve for fresh ingredients (fresh from the plant and earth) and I hate the fact that I’m limited by seasons. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gone outside in -25 C winter blizzards to grill, but…
Here’s another recipe to add to the “Ultimate” series I’ve been sharing from time to time with you. Curry shrimp is one of those simple dishes to make, but it’s very easy to overcook it and end up with shrimp the texture of leather. In this curry shrimp recipe I’ll show you how to have…
Here’s one of those recipes where tourists to the Caribbean may have more experience with than everyday islanders. When I posted the video (see below) for this coconut shrimp recipe on facebook, a fan mentioned that this is something more common in the tourist areas in the Caribbean. Though I tend to agree, I…
One of my weaknesses when it comes to food when I’m on the islands is definitely Chinese. I just love the unique way through the years our “chinee” food evolved to what it is today. Be it the use of local ingredients or the influence of the many other culture/races that make up Trinidad and…
Sounds like a bad combo? Not if you’ve ever tasted my mom’s recipe for pumpkin (butternut squash in this case) cooked until it’s melted and as you turn of the heat you add some cooked shrimp to the mix. As a kid pumpkin and/or squash was one of those things we (my brother and sisters)…
You’re probably thinking… “but Chris, you’ve already posted a curry shrimp recipe” . But I assure you that one bite and you’ll experience how different this one is. Spicy, creamy and well balanced with coconut milk. I’m not a huge fan of coconut in my curry dishes as you find in most Asian dishes, as…
When you think Caribbean cuisine you automatically think heat. But as with any dish you’re preparing, you have control over how much heat you’d like to experience. Personally I like things fiery hot, but there are times when you don’t get the true flavor of the dish because it’s overwhelmed by the heat factor. Here’s…
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…

While it’s common in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago to see garlic pork served on Christmas morning and during the holiday season, that was not the case in our home. Pork dishes did make it to the table, but it was stewed, baked in the oven, grilled and even fried, but no garlic pork as…
This Grilled Corn Salad is not necessarily a traditional Caribbean recipe, with our adoration of grilled corn (we say roast corn) throughout the Caribbean, along with the fresh and vibrant ingredients used here, it’s definitely a crowd pleaser, and something I’ve served many guests over the years. The combination of smoky grilled corn, sweet pineapple,…
When I told my mom I was making a Fiddlehead Salad as part of dinner during our daily phone call, I got the feeling she conveniently only heard the word “salad.” Fiddleheads are not something commonly used in the Caribbean kitchen, but after living in Canada longer than I lived in Trinidad and Tobago, foraging…
