Hi Chennette,

May Allaah make the Hajj easy for you and your family, Inshaa Allaah, and grant you all an ACCEPTED HAJJ, Ameen. Your Trini recipes are “THE REAL TING”. Please provide me with your Mom’s recipes for sawine, sawine cake, Trini pehra, Trini ladoo, and Trini rasgullah for now (I have more requests for other TRUE TRINI recipes, but at another time, Inshaa Allah.

Hi Natasha - I am so glad you found the right recipe. I don’t have a ladoo recipe unfortunately unless Mom decides she wants to make it! I like the recipes on your blog too - the use of wonton skins in the quiche especially!

Hi Chennette!
Recently I have been so homesick, especially missing the food. When I was growing up my favourite sweets were barfi and ladoo, so I decided I wanted to make them. Of course, I don’t have either recipe so I did a google search for barfi. In so doing, I found your website. Oh happy day!! This recipe sounds very similar to what I grew up knowing, especially with the ginger and sprinkles. Can’t wait to try it! Would you happen to also have a ladoo recipe?
Thanks!!!
Natasha

Hi John. Chubby is a brand of soft drink/soda that originated in Trinidad and Tobago from SM Jaleel and Co. Ltd (leading manufacturer and bottler). It is known and named for it’s small spherical shape of the plastic bottle, marketed for children since it’s a small cute serving.

Thanks Sharon - but don’t worry, this was last year and I am (as far as I know) recovered. Although I do tend to feel tired more easily, but I think that’s my mind playing tricks on me.

HI,
I’ve stopped by to visit as I love your posts. My God, typhoid!!
You can’t get more exotic than that!! My husband is a GP and I had to call him to read the post. I must say it adds a certain rugged authenticity to your tropical-ness. I am going to try your recipe tomorrow. Thanks so much and feel much better soon,
Happy Divali,
Sharon
