The Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago, The Caribbean & Beyond!
My personal thoughts and reflections on my cooking escapades
As some of you may remember last year I took part in Happy Sorceress’ ‘Blogging by Mail‘ food blogger exchange. Basically food bloggers around the world prepare little (or large) packages of foodstuffs representative of their country/region for exchange with others. Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? …
At the moment the English-speaking Caribbean has been all aflutter with the hosting of the Cricket World Cup. Sadly the murder mystery of Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer has now overshadowed what should have been a time of intense but friendly competition. I’ll never understand …
If Machel is the foremost innovator of soca, Minshall is the foremost innovator of mas. Eccentric and chameleon-like, his designs have captured Trinidadian’s imaginations for several decades. Born in Guyana, his family moved to Trinidad when he was 4 and we consider him a ‘true …
Last Friday (Carnival Friday) night your favorite Trini introvert hit the town! You can blame this atypical behavior on the fact that one of my best friends is in town for her annual Carnival pilgrimage. Although there were several fetes going on we ultimately decided …
Well lookie there, fresh off my 6 Weird Food Facts About Me, I’ve been tagged yet again! This time by The Budding Cook! 😀 The theme? Five Things Most People Don’t Know About Me… Well I think that (again) I will tackle this one from …

In the past few months I’ve gotten to know so many fine food blogs. After a while of reading a blog regularly I find that I also start to become curious about the mind and history of the person behind it. That’s why I decided …
Things have really picked up at TriniGourmet.com this month! Not only have I almost reached 200 posts! 😮 But comments have averaged between 20-40 a post 🙂 This upsurge made my old commenting system and search engine terribly unwieldy, so over the past 48 hours …
Ever since I started trolling food blogs I would notice writers responding to ‘being tagged’ and ‘tagging others’. It seemed so fun and cute, grade school and cliquey. As someone who was always picked last in P.E. (gym class) and was never much of a …
When I started TriniGourmet.com my aim was to feature and promote the distinctive cuisine of Trinidad and Tobago. In the few months since I started this blog I have been thrilled to see it grow and reach more people than I had thought would have …
I love the world of blog events. This time around I have to thank Veron of Kitchen Musings for making me aware of Lucullian Delight’s ‘Show Me Your Kitchen’. In that spirit, this is where I prepare all my dishes 🙂 It is pretty basic, …
Hi there! And an even more special hello to all of you in RSS feed land 🙂 Currently TriniGourmet sends out the first 2 or 3 lines of a post to those who have chosen to subscribe via this method. I did this for several …
