Oven BBQ Chicken (recipe)
2007-08-22 06:16:00 Summer is the time to fire up the grill… at least that’s what the US food programs and magazines tell me.

Chocolate Sablés (recipe)
2007-08-18 06:42:00 These sablés are dangerous! No, it’s not because of their bittersweet chocolatey goodness. And no it’s not because of the chocolate chips strewn throughout that provide bursts of sweet creaminess. And no, it’s not even their brownie-like denseness that makes me issue this indictment. No, what makes these chocolate sablés so worth of a public ... More About: Recipe , Chocolate , Chocolat , Choco , Reci

Setting the Fruit
2007-08-16 06:10:00 My fruit jar for this year’s December black cakes is slowly but steadily rising. Whenever I buy dried fruits I set aside half of what is leftover into the jar and top it up with rum or cherry brandy (depending on what I have on hand). The fruits are so macerated that they almost melt ... More About: Fruit
Calypso Rice (recipe)
2007-08-15 06:30:00 This concoction came up on a whim. I’m always looking for ways to invent and reinvent rice-based side dishes. Sauteed garlic, scotch bonnet peppers and sweet peppers create a hot and savoury medley. The piece de resistance however is the inclusion of fresh thyme which makes each mouthful unexpectedly fragrant. It made a wonderful complement ... More About: Recipe , Rice , Calypso , Reci

Vegetable Fried Rice (recipe & video)
2007-08-11 06:04:00 Fried rice. It’s something that I’ve grown up on as my mother usually makes it at least once a week. Sometimes as a side dish, other times as the main occasion. It is really interesting to me how versatile it is and how it never tastes the same from cook to cook. Even when my ... More About: Video , Recipe , Rice , Vegetable , Fried Rice

Caribbean Ketchup (recipe)
2007-08-10 06:04:00 Ketchup. You think you know what it is, but if you haven’t tasted true homemade ketchup, well… in the words of MTV Diary, “you have no idea”. Often when friends come down to visit they leave with bottles of local ketchup. Curious about this behaviour I asked one why she did it. “It don’t taste ...

Pawpaw a.k.a Papaya Nectar (recipe)
More articles from this author:2007-07-31 06:34:00 MMMM pawpaw. Growing up it was probably near the bottom rung of my favoured fruits. It wasn’t sweet enough, the seeds wigged me out, and the texture was just too bleh. In an effort to get me interested my mother would serve it to me drizzled in honey.
