加勒比家庭食谱
One of my favorite Chinese take-out meals is shrimp and broccoli. I love the way it’s cooked at Chinese-American restaurants. Luscious shrimp stir fried with crunchy broccoli and a bit of piping hot rice just hits the spot when you’re hungry! We do take out every now and then, but I love making it at…
Fry bora is one of my favorite Guyanese vegetable dishes. It is also known as Chinese long beans, yard beans, or snake beans. It’s delicious with seafood, meat, or all by itself, but I enjoy it best with chicken. My mother probably laughs every time I tell her I’m making fry bora for dinner. I…
My older son is a chocolate lover and this easy chocolate cake is his favorite cake, ever! It’s fluffy, chocolatey, and perfectly moist. I’ve made it a little fancier by making it into a layer cake.

One of my mom’s most memorable rotis is this aloo roti–a flatbread stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes. The other stunner is her dhal puri (I know guys, I’m posting a recipe soon, promise). We usually had this alongside some type of curry dish. The filling was flavored simply with few ingredients; butter, salt, hot pepper,…
Baked custard was one of those dishes that I disfavored as a child. I never liked the look of it; it had the appearance of sweet scrambled eggs to me and whenever my mom made it for us, I’d pass and go for a scoop of ice cream instead. As an adult, it has become…
