Hi Sara and Welcome. Yup, my mother has mastered that art of stretching the bara dough with oiled fingers. Me, not so much. In the recipe I posted you can see her fingers stretching away.

i had the opportunity to make doubles with a street vendor in tobago and while i did not get to see the channa part, ( i have a good recipe for that from a sweet hands cookbook) the dough that i make at home still cannot compare to soucou’s double’s recipe.

his wife used her fingers dipped in oil to spread the dough out and he deep fried it.

there is some question as to whether he uses yeast, or freeze dried yeast because he has no refrigerator or electricity to keep yeast alive. don’t know if that would make a significant difference in the bara part.

Hahah i don’t remember the music to tell you the truth, I think Trinis have an odd idea of ‘television professionalism’ … it’s either the extreme slapstick crystal meth theater school of facial expressions or happy lobotomy days… there’s bound to be a happy medium!

Okay, I don’t like the colour and photography on her show and the insipid music.

It’s a Caribbean cuisine show or something. It should be something lively. I have no idea who pick out that half dead, kill me now, blah blah blah music. And if it’s changed since I remember it then God be praised!

I have so many problems with Wendy Rahamut…I am glad she has a well produced show and fancy cookbooks, but…I’ll leave that to another post!
