About Me

Hello Everybody,

My name is Amanda and my dad is Afro-Trinidadian and my mom Caucasian-American. I grew up eating Trini foods when my Grandma (dad's mom) was still alive, but she died 10 years ago and then eating Trini foods was a rare treat. I recently decided that even though I didn't really pay attention when she was trying to teach me years ago(I was 10 and had other things on my mind...like playing outside lol) I wasn't going to miss out on enjoying all that great food.

I started this blog because of an overwhelming request for a Stewed Chicken recipe. As I was sending out a gazillion emails, I realized that I could start a blog and share my love of rediscovering Trinidadian recipes with everyone all the time. So as I rediscover Trinidadian recipes, I will share new ones with you guys!
