Chadon beni aka culantro aka bandhania aka fitweed Chadon beni aka culantro aka bandhania aka fitweed. Call it what you prefer but it is definitely one of the backbone flavors of local cuisine. Plentiful locally as a weed (or cultivated), it’s availability seems to be spotty in many locales overseas. ⁠

I first developed an affection for fish curries, w I first developed an affection for fish curries, when I made and posted Salmon Kalia on TriniGourmet, way back in 2007. There’s just something about the combination of spices, mingling with coconut milk, sugar and lime, fish sauce (if we’re going more South East Asian) that makes me ready to do a happy dance! ⁠

This recipe was a riff on one I found online from @swasthisrecipes . It comes together pretty quickly and the flavors didn’t overpower the delicate salmon in any way! [LINK IN BIO]

Coconut rock buns are a nostalgic treat for me. I Coconut rock buns are a nostalgic treat for me. I vividly remember saving up my allowance, as a child, to buy them from the lady who sold baked goods out of the back of her station wagon every Wednesday afternoon at my prep school.⁠
⁠
I think in part it’s because of the contrast of the homely rough-hewn exterior which belies the soft airy texture of the insides. Or maybe it’s the sweet sugary crust which perfectly complements the coconut infused, raisin-studded flavours? ⁠

He takes you through the entire process, from the actual picking of the pods to the tasting of a steaming cup of chocolate."

It’s not much of a surprise that many Trinbagoni It’s not much of a surprise that many Trinbagonians like more than a little heat 🔥 in their dishes. I mean, considering many of the hottest peppers in the world originated here it makes perfect sense!⁠

Having said that, although I’ve had a lot of chutneys with pepper in them this was my first time making a chutney based on roasted Scotch Bonnet peppers! 🫑 ⁠
⁠
Being firmly in the “slight pepper” camp I feared the final result would send me racing for medical aid, but although it was hot, the other ingredients made it sooo immensely more-ish, I found myself happily nibbling on it with nothing more than some buss-up-shut (paratha roti) to offset the burn. ⁠

Stew Beef? No! Stewed Soya Chunks! My secret? Seas Stew Beef? No! Stewed Soya Chunks! My secret? Seasoning them slightly more assertively than if I was using meat. Even though I only buy "Seasoned" chunks, they still need more... well ... seasoning! Then season them the same way you would meat. What does this mean? Well, yes, I left these overnight in a green seasoning marinade. Seared them in browning, added my ketchup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic etc. in the cooking process, and of course a little scotch bonnet had to enter the mix! ⁠
