Can you post a recipe for Corn soup. Love your site...makes me feel like home.
It's under soups and sauces; check it out. :-)
In San Fernando Gulf City Mall there used to be a place downstairs(1986-1988), that sold the best Pork Pow and Plourie w/pepper sauce I wish i could taste that one more time. anyway I love your site, and thank you for it I'm in San Diego. NO TRINI FOOD HERE, you all that have it dont know how good you have it. Thanks again please keep posting.
That's true. We Trinis always take things for granted and it's only we're "outside", we realise what a treasure we have in our trini food and culture. Thanks for the comment and I will continue the good work.
i am extremly pleased with all you recipes. there's one i've longed to have...Sweet potato pone. really the best pone i've eaten. can you post that recipe.
I will check it out and see what I come up with :-) thank you for your comment.
Seasons Greetings to you and yours!
I just wanted to say how wonderful I think your site is. It's a favorite of mine and I consult it frequently whenever attempting new dishes or when in search of something different. I had a request that I wish I put to you earlier since Christmas is already upon us, but I was wondering if you would be willing to share your Christmas menu with us and perhaps the recipes if they're not already on your page.
Bravo again for the great site!

You know what i havn't seen on your recipe post is Mother-in-law.I had it once in trinidad from a friend of mine and it was so good with cook up rice or all in one i don't know how you guys call it, but i wish if you can post the recipe for Mother-in-law or daughter-in-law whatever the name of it is please. Thanks!
I love your website!! My parents are from T & T (I was born in New York) and since I have moved out on my own (and down south) I have really missed all the Trini foods that I grew up on. Seeing all my favorite Trini dishes on this website really brought me back home. Thank you so much for providing these recipes. Now I can cook them myself!!
I am so glad I found this website it is defiantly a bookmarked page on my computer. My parents are Guyanese (I was born in Canada), my fiancé is Trinidadian (He too born here in Canada). Although our foods (which we grew up eating) are similar; with the help of your site I can cook up a bit of the Trini-style foods as well…Thanks a million from both of us :)
Hi!
could you post a receipe for red mango and the dry one to thanks!
A recipe for garlic pork would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work!
Hi I LOVE your recipes,they are so simple and easy to do and i must mention delicious.Please it is a hassle to print out all the recipes so let me knw if u have a recipe book for me to purchase. I love to cook so i shop for really nice recipe books and so far i found your recipes to be very effective. So let me knw if u have one or if not,it will be a great idea for u to put them all together like a collecters edition. Thanks again

Hi i would like to get a recipe for a fried fish pie please
i have always seen my granny making it but never got it down to a science.
Thanks in Advance
Montana you would have to elaborate a bit more then I'll see what I can do.
I call them fried pies and they can be made with beef and fish and cheese
its like a float but it looks like a fried cow tongue dumpling
and its filled with cooked meats and then fried
anyone have any "pow" recipes to share please?
