I made this last week and it was so good that I am definitely making it as a side dish for one of the holiday meals.

Hi Everyone, With the Christmas holidays just weeks away, the shopping craze has begun.

Legumes of all variety are good for us; they are an excellent source of protein, dietary fibre, carbohydrates and micronutrients.

Hi Everyone,   We like bun-bun but not burnt food. Blackened dishes can often end up looking burnt but they aren’t.

If you want food that feeds the soul, a bowl of Crab and Callaloo Soup can do the job.

Hi Everyone, Skin on, skin off; with or without seeds; sliced, diced, smashed or pureed, cucumbers are cool and tasty!

The other day, a food-in friend was sharing with me the pleasures of eating Guyanese-style Aniseed Biscuits.

Hi Everyone, The heated oil shimmers. Onions, fresh herbs and chopped hot peppers hit the pan and sizzle.

I couldn’t think of a name for this dish; it is something I made up as I went along cooking.

Hi Everyone,  Ewww… Gross! Yuck! These sounds plus expressions of scorn and disgust are usually the reaction of many people when they are offered the other parts of meat, poultry or seafood.

There are several green sauces that are used as condiments and can sometimes double as marinades.

Hi Everyone, “Sweet Hands means that a person is so talented in the kitchen that anything he or she makes… is like manna from the Gods.”

There are various cuts of lamb from which we get chops – shoulder, leg, loin and rib.

Hi Everyone, This cookie ain’t gonna crumble. This cookie ain’t hard.

Ever since I have realized that I can remove the salt from salt fish without boiling it, I always have a little container of the stuff in the fridge – to cook with vegetables, ground provisions, rice, potatoes or just on its own.

Hi Everyone,   I had a craving for shrimp, and like most Guyanese, it takes no effort to convince me to make a curry.

I got the inspiration for this recipe over the August holidays while dining out with friends.

Hi Everyone, Growing up, I’d always hear my mother say that she did not like crab curry because it was too much work, not to cook it – to eat it!

Ham and eggs are an age-old combination as are bacon and eggs.

Hi Everyone, Last month, an article was published in Stabroek News (Friday, August 14) written by Guyana’s former Director of the Government Analyst Food & Drug Department, Marilyn Collins, titled – ‘Food Fortification & The Health of the Guyanese Population.’
