By the time you read this post I’ll probably be sleeping off the inevitable food coma that follows consumption of that many carbs and candy! 🙂 This month Sweet Hands: Island Cooking from Trinidad and Tobagocontinues its dominance but Rita Springer’s Caribbean Cookbookhas surged forward and is now nipping at its heels! I’m happy to see Sweet Hands’ author, Ramin Ganeshram, embracing Twitter more and more, you can follow her here. She has also launched a new food blog, and recently had an article on the Trinidad Tonka Bean published in Lost Magazine.

Now on to the countdown!
