Trinidad and Tobago

Located just off the coast of Venezuela, the islands of Trinidad and its laidback neighbor, Tobago, encompass one extraordinary Caribbean nation. Boisterous and cosmopolitan Trinidad is about the size of Delaware, dwarfing tiny, idyllic Tobago to the north. The birthplace of limbo, steel drums, and calypso music, and the annual host of one of the world’s most spectacular Carnival celebrations, Trinidad and Tobago’s culture is vibrant, joyous, and wholly unique. Much of the food of Trinidad and Tobago is a reflection of the country’s ethnically diverse population. East Indian influence can be found in foods like roti, flatbread filled with ingredients such as curried meat, chickpeas, or mangoes. And, while the Chinese population is small, Chinese food is immensely popular with Trinbagonians. Perhaps the most famous culinary treat in Trinidad and Tobago is the street food called “Bake and Shark” – fried shark meat served inside fried bread. Not to be missed if visiting the islands, Bake and Shark is a uniquely Trinbagonian delight.

Half and Halfs

Reviewed on Aug. 22, 2008 by Roxanne J.R.
I have been meaning to make these cookies for a while now and I wonder what took me so long! I followed the recipe exactly and did not change a thing. These cookies came out delicious. I never knew having Half and Halfs would be so yummy. I made these into large gourmet cookies so I could wrap up one each and give them to friends. They taste so good though I almost want to have them all myself...lol. Because I made them larger they had to cook a while longer and I started them off at 325F and raised the heat to 350F halfway through. They are like heaven and I am going to make some more real soon, yum!

Cheesecake Pops

Reviewed on Aug. 22, 2008 by Roxanne J.R.
This is a very nice recipe and they are so cute. I dipped my cheesecake pops in melted semi-sweet chocolate and rolled it in crushed graham cracker crumbs. This made it taste just like the cheesecake had a bit of the crust on it. Delish!

Overnight Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl Bread

Reviewed on Aug. 17, 2008 by Roxanne J.R.
This is the first time I have made a yeast bread which came out so soft! The batter for the first half of the recipe remained pretty soft and could not be rolled into a ball. I just covered it up with some plastic wrap in the bowl and it rose perfectly! I did not measure how much more flour I added into the risen dough but I left my dough pretty soft still. I rolled out the dough on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and proceeded with the recipe using cinnamon sugar instead of plain cinnamon. Unfortunately because I left the dough so soft, it started t spread out on the cookie sheet so I just lifted the parchment paper into a bread pan and let it bake as the recipe stated. I rubbed some butter over the top when it finished baking and it soaked in giving it a nice buttery-cinnamon taste through the whole bread! It keeps well in the fridge when wrapped in plastic wrap. All I do is lightly toast a slice and it is perfect! Great breakfast bread!
