Spicy Seared Scallops W/ Mango & Cilantro Relish
It makes me glad when I can keep a promise. Because so much of my time is taken up being a creative artist and not a conformist, it becomes difficult for me to be bound by a schedule. I don't fear commitment, ever, but I'd rather go with the flow.Unless ...

Saffron/Azafran
(pic from saffronusa.com)
We all know this spice. Coined as the most expensive spice in the world, we love to cook with this tiny little thread. It is mainstay in any Latin kitchen. Used for rich yellow/reddish coloring and a smoky flavor, we primarily use it...

Awards, Contest Winners & Ice Cream
Living in Atlanta shouldn't be as difficult as I'm experiencing. I don't hardly get out enough. With all the food choices found in Class A resto's lacing this southern city, you'd think I'd go out and have some. At least to meet people other than the 3 culpr...

Part II of Culinary Festival in Trinidad/Tobago & Another Contest…
Previously, I shared how I was teased with coconut macaroons everyday at bedside. How I went swimming in a blue grotto (or was that in my travel blog?) and how I simply ate way too much.
One of the sweeter excursions of the whole 4 day tour was visiting Carme...

Chili Powder
Popularly used in American cooking, chili powder is essentially a mix of red peppers including cayenne, ancho and chipotle (and others to personal taste). I've used it to make a really good turkey chili. It adds a great smoky flavor to certain foods, as some...

(Trini "puff" flower at the Fowl Trust)
I missed you guys.
I said I needed a day. I probably should have said a week.

I’m in Love All Over Again
I love the lotus flower. My return from Trinidad/Tobago was exciting, sans the 10 minute super bumpy connecting flight from Miami to ATL, which had me clutching my seat arms like a petrified child. I'm pretty courageous, but turbulence like that shakes me. I w...
