Over the years I’ve shared several types of Callaloo (the soup) recipes with you, including Crab (the classic), Lobster, Shrimp, Salted Pigtail and Smoked Turkey, to name a few. With leftover Crayfish from when I purchased for making the Curry Potato With Crayfish recipe, I thought I’d give you yet another TASTY version of Callaloo….
Once again I’m sharing a ‘Jerk’ recipe and I feel compelled to mention as I always do… yes authentic Jamaican Jerk (anything) is a combination of the jerk marinade and the technique of grilling over pimento wood. I am based in Canada and it’s the middle of winter, so it’s all about using the indoor…
I didn’t grown up having chicken wings (specifically) as a meal or snack. That said, my brother, sisters and I all fought for the 2 wings when mom would prepare chicken as part of lunch or dinner. Back then we would butcher our own chicken (or visit a chicken farmer) and mom would have an…
Without ANY DOUBT.. this is one of my favorite Caribbean desserts! If you recall back in 2013 I shared an (if not the first) online version of this Currants Roll Recipe. However this time I’ll show you an even easier method of making it. Without sacrificing taste, texture and overall flavor. You’ll Need… 1 puff…
While you will see similarities with this Onion Choka and Classic Pepper Choka (basically roasted hot peppers made into a SPICY condiment), with the simplicity (and the perfect blend of flavor and texture) of this version, it could easily be your new favorite side to curry dishes. TIP! Use as much thinly sliced onion as…
No you’re not seeing double! If you’ve been following my culinary exploits here from day one, you would have seen me share a similar Curry Chicken With Potato (aloo) recipe about 8 years ago. And while that recipe is timeless, the google indexing bots are no longer as kind to the website, so if you…
Roasted Carrots and Beets is simply not a recipe you’ll associate with the Caribbean. During my time as a young fella on the islands, I don’t think I ever once saw beets being sold in the market.. as a matter of fact, I didn’t taste beets until I moved to North America. How times have…
We always had Bodi (aka Bora, Yard Beans or Snake Beans) growing in our little kitchen garden at the back of the house when I was growing up on the islands. Over the years I’ve not only come to enjoy this bean (wasn’t a fan as a child), but I’ve found different ways to prepare…
Somehow it seems that Caribbean People always got some leftover rice in a ‘butter dish’ (any plastic reusable container) in the fridge. And after filming the Tantalizing Pepper Pork video demo, I thought.. why not a fried rice for lunch. BTW old school Caribbean use the term “butter dish” as back in the day, margarine…
With an abundance of plump Cherry Tomatoes in our garden and the thousands of requests I get for more recipes in the #MeatFreeMonday series on YouTube, I thought I’d share (while not “Caribbean”) a simple and delicious salad with you all. You’ll Need… 1- 1 1/2 lbs cherry tomatoes (sliced in 1/2)1/2 large red onion…
Here’s one of those comforting dishes you and your family will enjoy on those cozy winter nights (yea I’m based in Canada where we get COLD winters). Steam/boil some rice and you’re golden. You may also cook this in advance and freeze, to just thaw/heat and enjoy when you don’t feel like cooking after a…
Due to the massive demand for Vegan, Vegetarian and Ital recipes, I launched a new series on YouTube, I call #MeatFreeMondays In doing so, I had to find a simple way to make Cauliflower tasty and stand out. Now… If you follow me on Instagram you would have already seen me bash Cauliflower as being…
