Tastes Like Home

I’m now writing another food column for a different publication: Stabroek News, The Scene. Check it out weekly. The blog for that column is www.tastesofguyana.blogspot.com

Food is team-building

The New York Times carried a story today about how cooking is fast becoming the new wave of team-building exercises practised in corporate America, with results! I think it’s a fantastic idea.
Unfortunately, in order for me to link to the article for you to read it, you will have to purchase it. Sorry about that.

Back in Barbados

I know I said that I would try to blog daily while on my visit to Guyana but there was no time, there were so many things to do, many things to see and to eat! My taste-buds had a great time absorbing the tastes home; from curries to stews to pastries to rotis to chinese food to creole food.

My mother still makes the best cook-up rice I’ve ever eaten and I swear it will be that way always. Her home-made mauby and ginger beer are full of flavour; my first sip of each brought tears of joy to my eyes – I’d forgotten what the real thing tastes like.

I’ve brought back a few things with me that will help the taste of home to linger longer.
