I'm a happily married stay-at-home mum of 3. I'm a first generation Canadian with West Indian parents so I'm really open to all kinds of foods.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake and unfortunately my hips take the brunt of the abuse. I love trying new foreign dishes and have recently discovered a love for lamb.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My favourite traditions are from watching my mum in the kitchen. She never used a recipe and her West Indian food was always amazing. Red beans and dumplings, rice and black eyed peas, pelau... Mmmmmmmmmm!
My cooking triumphs
The latest was this Valentines Day when I completed 57 large sandwich cookie Valentines for my kids and hubby, each personalised with a frosting name. WHEW!
My cooking tragedies
It's hard to choose between the time I was making a cake for my dad and used chocolate pudding for frosting (I was 12) and the time I roasted my 1st turkey with the giblet bag inside. Discovered, of course, at the table during the carving. Yuck!
