Poll: What do you think of Wendy Rahamut’s work?

This time around I have decided to focus my poll on the work of Wendy Rahamut. For those who don’t know her Wendy Rahamut is Trinidad’s #1 celebrity cook. She hosts a weekly cooking show, has a weekly column in the Trinidad Guardian,owns and operates

REVIEW: Homemade – Delicious Foods To Make and Give

As a collector of cookbooks (and someone who loves to give homemade presents) Homemade: Delicious Foods to Make and Give is one that I return to over and over again. It even got me into making and bottling my own jams and ketchups! The recipes

Brother’s Bread (recipe)

Well it’s been a while since I have posted a bread recipe. With rising bread prices here in Trinidad my mother and I have now committed to making our own bread on a full time basis rather than occasionally. Although my ciabatta bread recipe has

The majority has spoken, 55% of you said ‘Show me the full article!’, so following your wishes I have switched TriniGourmet over to a full-feed format! 🙂 And, because 25% of you wanted to know what RSS is, I have also provided a separate ‘What 

Trinidad Cocoa’s Sweet Feet (article)

I’ve been meaning to share more details about Trinidad’s exclusive Trinitario cocoa ever since my highly successful post for Upside Down Chocolate pudding. After this article appeared 2 weeks ago in a local newspaper I knew it was time to start sharing the various articles

When I first read about Beck ‘n Posh’s British food challenge (titled Fish n Quips) I was immediately filled with curiousity, excitement and fear. You see, and I hope I don’t offend too many, most of my memories of eating in England are far from

Eggplant-Potato ‘Surprise’ (recipe)

So what is the ‘surprise’? Probably the pack of heat that this recipe delivers 🙂 I used a whole scotch bonnet this time but would probably reduce that to 1/2 the next time I make this. It was a hit with my mom tho 🙂 

BBM 2.0 – Doitung Macadamia Nuts with Wasabi

Although this is one of the last of the items in my Blogging by Mail package to be written up it actually was the first item to be opened. My mother is a nut addict and I had never tasted macadamia nuts before so it 

Vegetable Curry In A Hurry (recipe)

This has to be one of my favorite recent recipes. Its twist (for me) comes from the addition of mango chutney near the end. This really gives it a sweet n savoury kick that is hard for others to put their finger on. Since this 

Great Garlic Galette (recipe)

At the time that I am writing this Passover is a little less than 24 hours away from ending*, and I’m starting to daydream about all sorts of leavened goodness. For those who don’t already know Passover is an 8 day period in the Jewish 

BBM 2.0 – Guylian Truffles

No words necessary! 🙂 These were the last to be consumed, but they are not the last in this series by any means 🙂 Customs sliced the bottom of this (and one other box) checking for ‘contraband’! 🙁 So creamy and light inside!!! 🙂
