Review Quotes:
"a tribute to Trinidad"-- Miami Herald

Review Quotes:
"an enjoyable acquisition for Caribbean cuisine novices and for those who were raised on the fare."--New York Daily News

Review Quotes:
" . . . the first cookbook that teaches the home cooking of these islands in clear, concise recipes." ― Molly O'Neill

Publisher Marketing:
The essential cookbook for Trinidad & Tobago is celebrating 20 years with this anniversary edition that features new recipes, photos and cultural notes about this unique Caribbean cuisine!

"As twenty years of successful publication has proven: the importance of this book cannot be overstated--for anyone claiming Trinidadian descent and for those non-Trinis who simply love our glorious culture."

--Chef Chaz Brown (from the foreword)

"In Trinidad, the best compliment a cook can hope for is to be told he or she has 'sweet hands.' It means the person is so talented in the kitchen that anything he or she makes--from a sandwich to a seven-course meal--is like manna from the gods."--from the Introduction

Inspired by memories of her father and her own experiences on the islands, Ramin Ganeshram invites readers to explore the cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago, where Indigenous, African, Indian, Chinese, Syrian, Spanish and British culinary influences come together in a unique blend.

This new 20th anniversary edition has been completely updated with an introduction to Trinidad's rich, fascinating history; 180 user-friendly recipes; a detailed travel section for visitors; and numerous sidebars about ingredients, techniques and key aspects of Trini cuisine and culture.

Sample recipes:

  • Accras
  • Doubles
  • Meat Patties
  • Shark & Bake
  • Tamarind Fish
  • Mango Curry
  • Buss-Up Shut
  • Black Cake
  • Stewed Oxtails
  • Benne Seed Chutney
