| 2012-02-09 05:00:00 |
Today was bright and sunny and the coconut tree in the backyard had a few branches bowed down, low enough to be pulled off the tree. To avoid it falling on anyone accidentally I grabbed them and pulled them down.....Instead of throwing them away in the big pile, I had an idea. Why not show my readers how to make a Cocoyea ( pronounced Ko-ki-ye ) broom?

Sweet peppers....they're great in almost every cuisine we have on the island. We find it in fried rice, soups and adorning salads in every which way. Sweet peppers are truly a go between vegetable. But, what happens when it is the star attraction of a dish? It takes on a different persona and truly makes a delicious food experience.

| Coconut Chicken |
| 2012-01-21 16:22:00 |
Coconut has been a staple of the Trini diet from the time the Amerindians first came to this island. In fact,with the different races arriving on the island it was used even more as we became a "callaloo society" ( or is it a "chow mein society" ?) over the years. Now, with the health benefits gained from using coconut oil I believe that there has been a resurgence of it's use after many years

| Christmas Cake |
| 2011-12-31 02:01:00 |
There is always a cake on the table during the Christmas season, especially a fruit cake. In Trinidad the traditional black cake is usually crumbly-moist or sticky-wet and black; its moisture resulting from the excessive use of alcohol. Some people also like icing on their black cake, thus making the cake decadent. But I tend to stay away from cakes with icing - enough of all that sweetness

If you think there is not much you can do with sweet potato, except to serve plain as a side dish or a pie or to have with other provision in a soup, I have a recipe that will definitely surprise you. Now, if potato is so much of a versatile ingredient, why not sweet potato? Like potato, sweet potato (lpomoea batatas) is a starchy root vegetable, but sweeter than potato. Thus, it is a good
