Mystery packages are on their way!

A huge thanks to everyone who has patronised and donated to TriniGourmet’s e-commerce and fundraising efforts to date. I’m working on ways to thank each of you individually. Until then, the above are just a sample of the freebies that are currently on their way 

Gub Gub ‘Navy Bean’ Salad with Feta Cheese (recipe)

“A navy bean is bigger than it seems put it on and don’t ask what it means Parade around” – Tracy Bonham Am I the only one who remembers Tracy Bonham, that alt-singer/violinist from the late 1990’s? I loved her first CD and really think

Chefs Royal 2007: Flags of the Nations

For the price they are asking I really find they could have provided more information. What nations will be represented? Who are the chefs? Wha de jail? Oh well, because it’s QRC I may just check it out anyway 😛 For those who don’t know 

TGRWT #2 – Savoury Banana Fritters (recipe)

Although this is the first time that I am sharing an entry to They Go Really Well Together (TGRWT) this is actually not the first time that I’ve created a recipe for this ongoing ‘Molecular Gastronomy Project’. Unfortunately my first creation was so ghastly, so 

Indo Fair 2007

While at the Taste of T&T 2007, I was approached by a Tourism guide who was polling attendees. While sharing my thoughts on the event (which will be posted by the end of the week, G-d willing) we got to talking about local food. She

One of the unexepcted pleasures of running this site is getting a chance to hear and answer your questions. Some of you are Trinis who have lived abroad for some time. Some of you are foreigners who have come to love a certain special Trinbagonian 

The Lighthouse restaurant celebrates Indian Arrival

I’ve been meaning to visit the Lighthouse restaurant for quite some time now. This series may be just the thing to get me there 🙂 I love the waterfront ambience at Crews Inn, especially at sunset as the outlines of the numerous yachts slowly turn 

Technical Difficulties!

Well well well, look how allyuh get me in trouble! 😆 I finished last weekend feeling on top of the world. I had attended Taste T&T, met Lilandra and Chennette, and had given TriniGourmet a spanking hot new redesign. Yes, life was good. Then, Monday 

Snakebite (recipe)

It’s been a while since I whipped up a little poison for y’all, and what’s more poisonous than a snakebite? 😀 OK. I never heard about this concoction before this week and the only reason I even stumbled across it was because I wanted to 

Batter-Fried Zucchini (recipe)

Fried vegetables in a light, almost meringue-like, batter. Delicious! Although this recipe calls for squash or zucchini I used up veggies that I had on hand (cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms and more!) The results were just as excellent. This is -the- perfect beer food 😆

Angelo’s on Ariapita

The above advert for a restaurant (new?) called Angelo’s caught my eye in the Saturday Express. Ariapita Avenue is the main culinary artery for dining in and around Port-of-Spain and it really is amazing how many restaurants it seems able to contain! I think I”ll 

Chubby Soda (now in 6-packs!)

If there’s one thing that can’t be denied it’s that Trinis love their soda (or ‘sweet drink’ as its commonly called). Growing up here I was spoiled to an endless array of flavours that I thought would be matched or surpassed when I went to
