Callalloo and Buss Up Shut, Mother-in-Law and Kuchela, Chip Chip and Doubles. The verbiage of Trinidad's cuisine is both lyrical and mysterious. The variety of foods from this Caribbean nation and their fanciful names tell the story of a rich and eclectic cultural heritage. A British colony from 1779 until 1962, during those years Trinidad & Tobago's population grew to include East Indian and Chinese indentured servants who worked in the sugar plantations alongside former slaves. Trinidadian food is marked by the blending of these cultures. As such, curry, Indian breads, callalloo (a soup of West African origin), and fried rice are all among the national dishes. Recipes for these dishes can be found within these pages, along with many others, such as Shrimp Creole, Beef Stew with Dumplings, and Ginger Beer. Join author Ramin Ganeshram on a culinary journey through her ancestral home as she introduces you to street foods such as Shrimp Patties and Shark and Bake, teatime favorites like Lemon Crunch Teacakes or Coconut Shortbread, and elegant dinner fare ranging from Avocado Soup to Spicy Stuffed Red Snapper and Curried Crab and Dumplings. These little-known delicacies, along with fascinating histories and anecdotes on such topics as Trinidadian rum, Buccaneer Cooking, and Black Cake bring the islands of Trinidad & Tobago into your kitchen.

Great Trini Recipes!

I am of Trinidadian and Venezuelan descent and know plenty of scrumptious foods native to Trinidad but was not familiar with how to make them. Since I've moved out and started college, I missed my grandmothers cooking so I decided to buy this book. It has amazing recipes! Unfortunately, I am unable to find a Venezuelan cookbook but at least Sweet Hands will keep me preoccupied until I do!!! =-p

The author has some good ideas

I like how the author is very versatile with her cooking. Her cooking recipes are very easy to follow. I would recommend the book to a friend who wants a taste of Trini culinary.

Real Trinidadian Flavors

If you've ever eaten "doubles" on the street in Trinidad and wondered how to reproduce that delightful flavor at home, this is the book to use. The recipes are true native specialties, described so anyone can enjoy them.

Great cookbook

I purchased this book for my husband who worked for a couple of weeks in Trinidad. He was not able to buy a cookbook while there.

I searched Amazon and bought the one and only Trindad cookbook, and it was a winner! He was very pleased that the recipes were for a lot of the food that he experienced.
