Almost every part of Trinidad and Tobago’s culture revolves around food. From the traditional foods brought here by our ancestors, to the modifications that have become unique to T&T, food is used to celebrate and to comfort, to soothe and to spice things up, and for everything else in between.

The Culinary Heritage of Trinidad and Tobago: Our Seasonal and Traditional Foods, with its over 300 recipes, covers dishes for every conceivable occasion and season. It spans rich cuisine for religious rituals and festivals, to just-because childhood favorites like ice blocks, with some tit bits of humor in between. The book is well researched with easy to follow recipes, and is a must-have for every household.
