10 years of Tastes Like Home…Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

Today, January 7, marks 10 years to the date that the first Tastes Like Home column was published in this newspaper. The success of this column belongs to you the reader.

This column started out as an expression of appreciation of Guyanese food, a couple of years later, that gratitude included Caribbean cuisine with an eventual and obvious celebration of food in general. If you ask me today what Tastes Like Home is about, I’d say that it is still those things, but is also seeks to passionately educate by providing extensive information on ingredients, through periodic primers for certain dishes, and more recently with the What’s Cooking series.
