Hello folks. I know I have readers in Canada. I am in Brampton right now…I haven’t been in Canada since 1996 and I am here only for a few days for a wedding. I have a couple American friends, attending the same wedding, who haven’t had dhalpouri or doubles while in Edinburgh. So, since we’re [...]
Cocoa Sticks
Originally uploaded by Chennette
I have been wanting to post about cocoa for a few weeks now, to report on the various cocoas I have been trying - in the rolled and not-so-processed form - from T&T, Grenada, St Lucia and Guyana. But not like this.
As I was reading through the Guyana news online tonight, [...]
In the 2 years since I started Lifespan of a Chennette (my 2nd anniversary was on July 8th!), I have encountered only a few Caribbean food blogs, but many more over the last few months. I hope there are going to be even more in the future, so that “Caribbean” food on the internet won’t [...]
It’s been a long time, but someone out there has finally, finally found my blog searching for “gavin gunhold”! Welcome oh MacDonald Hall fan, or fan of fictional made-up Canadian poets or general Korman aficionado, from Wisconsin.
I think that warrants a gratuitous posting of a poem other than the one that used to be on [...]
I made whole wheat hops bread from Mom’s recipe, posted by Lilandra with modifications for whole wheat provided by Mom over the phone. Mom and Lilandra also made up a batch of wholewheat, so I expect Lilandra will has posted the adjusted recipe and her own pictures very soon.
Hops is a traditional Trini bread, crusty [...]
Such a grand title. What could it possibly mean? It certainly couldn’t refer to the photo, which would be a kinda ridiculous announcement, proclaiming the poui so long after the last blooms fell off the trees…but I love poui anyway and the colour of this one in our backyard is appropriate later on in [...]
Last weekend was the main event of Taste T&T 2008, a 4 year old culinary event in Trinidad and Tobago, showcasing the best of our chefs, and the greatness of our local foods. Throw in a world class designer and plenty entertainment, and you’ve got the stage for a crowd-pleasing festival. With no parking [...]
I have decided that this am trying to decide which shot of Mom’s lentils should will be submitted for this month’s CLICK: Beans n’ Lentils.
I greatly appreciate the comments and votes here and on my Flickr, but since I have only a few hours, and Bee herself is rushing me here it is! My [...]
Lilandra and I are headed to Taste T&T 2008 this evening. It’s the closing day of the main festival, although there is to be a restaurant week immediately following.
This was a completely unexpected trip to T&T - I only realised I could be here on Wednesday, so unlike the Trini Gourmet, I don’t have any [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve submitted a photo to Jai and Bee for their monthly food photography event CLICK, but as usual for the few times I have, it’s just on the deadline.
Today.
The theme for the month of April (which ends today, I know) is Au Naturel! And, my entry…the lovely POMMERAC, ready-to-eat, unprocessed [...]
