Hi Everyone, people do various things to avoid work such as approaching deadlines, must-do assignments and chores.

-Tea-infuser obsessed Hi Everyone, I have a ridiculous obsession with tea infusers!

Hi Everyone, last week, I wrote about the hits and misses of various foods that I have been having during my visit to Guyana.

Hi Everyone, I’m in Guyana. I’ve been here for a week now and the eating at home has been interesting.

Hi Everyone, Say the words corned beef and I immediately think of quick-cooking dishes, comfort food and a taste of home.

– Red Pepper Flakes Hi Everyone, It has been so hot these days – but while I retreat indoors with the fans working overtime, I’ve been letting the sun do some work!

Hi Everyone, By golly I think I’ve got it. Finally, a meatball recipe that suits my taste perfectly – in texture and flavour.

Hi Everyone, Tear or crush a fresh bay leaf with your hands and smell it and you’ll quickly understand why it is the most widely used culinary herb.

Hi Everyone, Here in the Caribbean we have a rich food heritage centred on ‘ole time’ bakeries and bread vans.

Hi Everyone, If you’re anything like me, when it comes to eating certain foods, you negotiate and bargain with yourself.

Hi Everyone, This morning I woke up early as usual but I was unusually ravenous.

Hi Everyone, I don’t know how much longer I can put up with this – cooking breakfast.

Hi Everyone, The Swiss Roll, like the Pau I wrote about a couple of months ago, is another one of those outstanding treats that was frequently offered at cake sales back in the days of my growing up.

Hi Everyone, A friend asked me the other day what meal I’d make for my mom in celebration of Mother’s Day.

Hi Everyone, Torture. That was how the author who penned a column in Culture Box (Stabroek News, The Scene) a couple of years ago described her feelings as she set about planning her family’s daily menu.

Hi Everyone, One day, whilst visiting a friend, she opened one of her cupboards to retrieve an item for the dish she was preparing and I casually looked up.

Hi Everyone, If this week’s headline seems confusing, it’s because people often think of a Sponge Cake and a Pound Cake as one and the same; they aren’t.

-Healthy, delicious, addictive Hi Everyone, Once you make your own granola, trust me, you’ll never go back to the store-bought stuff.

Hi Everyone, ovens can seem as if they have minds of their own and for the uninitiated they are downright frightening.

Hi Everyone, last week when I read about the current vegetable glut in the market (in Guyana), I wanted to hop on a plane, go to Guyana and cook, and cook, and cook!
