If it is one thing you should try to do when you visit Guyana, it is visit the Kaieteur Falls. Deep in the interior of Guyana, amid the Pakaraima Mountains, the reddish-brown clear water of the Potaro River falls a staggering 741 feet straight down. Among the highest of the world’s single drop waterfalls, it [...]

Last minute surge for Divali
October 16, 2009 – 11:32 pm
Well, a couple days ago my blog stats suddenly spiked. It’s not Eid (Eid ul Fitr was a few weeks ago, and we have some time before Eid ul Adha). As usual, even if I didn’t know, the almost single-minded focus of the searches would clue me in. Yes, it’s Divali, the Hindu Festival of [...]
Falafel Recipe
October 15, 2009 – 10:19 pm
Falafels are that ubiquitous Middle Eastern item – savoury, crunchy, fried balls of beany-goodness. Some may say falafels are Israeli, there may be other countries laying claim to the source of these delicious vegetarian protein-packed treats, but I am no food historian, so I won’t get into the debate. You can check out Wikipedia. Falafels [...]
Let’s talk BBQ
August 18, 2009 – 3:39 pm
Whether you like to spell it Barbecue, Barbeque, BBQ, Bar-B-Q or Bar-B-Que, this is apparently the time for dealing with fire and coals and grills. For our more northern neighbours in the hemisphere, it’s because of that season called summer. For us in the tropics, where we don’t get too much variation in our temperatures, [...]
Hajj Photos in progress
January 5, 2009 – 3:39 pm
Slowly but surely we’re going through the photos we managed to take during the Hajj. Except for the food ones. During the actual days of Hajj we weren’t really focusing on taking pictures of ourselves or other people, or sneaking cameras into the Masjid-al-Haram. It just didn’t seem to be right to pay attention to [...]
Making Pumpkin Pie
August 18, 2008 – 1:18 am
Lilandra has created a maelstrom of baking madness at home in Trinidad. It’s hard not to get caught up in it. She’s been baking so much that if anyone touches flour in the kitchen she tries to claim it’s their baking so she can lighten her resume, as it were. Even if she was involved, [...]
Caribbean Fruits
August 14, 2008 – 9:37 pm
It’s time for some fruits again. Granted, not all of these are necessarily in season right this minute, like my previous post, but think of this as some more general information on fruits in the region. You never know when you might need this kind of information. Buying fruits in the Caribbean can be a [...]

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 this [...]

May 29, 2008 – 4:05 pm
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 [...]
Pommerac, Pommerac, CLICK CLICK CLICK
April 30, 2008 – 5:25 pm
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, [...]
