In some parts of the Caribbean “Chow Heel” is also known as “Cow Foot”, and while those outside our culture may find it a bit offensive to eat such a part of the animal, it’s…

Two years back we kicked off the New Year with my incredibly tasty Cook Up Rice, loaded with chicken, salted pigtail pieces and black eyed peas for the good luck associated with using it at…

This Bok Choy (Shanghai Bok Choi) recipe is loosely based on the way mom would make her Fry Pak Choi With Saltfish as well as her classic Fry Pak Choi with Stewed Pork, we grew…

To clear the air and hopefully avoid the waste-man comments, traditional shepherd’s Pie is made with GROUND LAMB and when you employ the use of GROUND BEEF it’s known as Cottage Pie! That said, should…

As a lil fella on the islands, I had a love hate relationship with pigeon peas. Allow me to explain, nothing beats a Chicken Pelau made with fresh shelled pigeon peas, so too a delicious…

As we dig deeper into #SoupSeason it occurred to me that I’ve never shared this version of Oxtail Soup with you. For most people outside the Caribbean, the texture and consistency (loaded with root vegetables)…

Yea not so much quick, but hear me out. Cook a large batch and freeze (and thaw), for days you want a quick dinner with steamed rice or maybe you have time to make hot…

I cannot believe it’s taken me this long to make a Small Batch Caribbean Green Seasoning recipe post for you all. Yes, we’ve done the classic Caribbean Green Seasoning a few times, with the intended…

Here’s another recipe I resurrected after calls for it on Instagram. I originally shared a version of this Steak Marinade And Dressing about 10 years ago on the website, and while it’s a hit every…

Yes, I’ve shared a few Caribbean Green Seasoning videos on YouTube and Facebook, and while I have shared a version here on the website, that recipe dates back to 2009 and since then over 700…

Over the years I’ve shared about 30 + Soup Recipes and to be honest and frank, I’ve barely touched the surface when it comes to Caribbean and Caribbean inspired soup recipes. Such is our love…

There are many variations of making/cooking cornedbeef (from a can) in the Caribbean, making it easy to not know them all. Each family will have their version and while it may not be YOUR version,…

Traditional Dhal (as made in Trinidad and Tobago) is 100% vegan, however mom always added Salted Pigtails, Salted Cod or Salted Beef in hers, to change up the flavors a bit for us. Using her…

Curry Beef or Beef Curry (Guyana) is one of those things I rarely cook as I’m not the biggest fan of beef (except for steaks and burgers). And yes, I originally shared a Curry Beef…

This version of “fry” Corned-beef aka Bully Beef is inspired by after-school visits to my Jamaican friend’s home and the way his grandma (RIP granny) would make it. Her version was a bit more runny/saucy…

Yet another recipe on here you won’t associate with the Caribbean, however it’s one I do quite often and felt the need to share with you. Slowly braised in the oven until the meat falls…

I speak a LOT about comfort food and dishes which takes me back to a place and time in the Caribbean where life was GRAND. I was a carefree lil man, mommy spoiled us tremendously…

Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, oxtail wasn’t as popular as it is today. There are several restaurants and roadside vendors doing excellent things with oxtails, especially in the capital. My first encounter with Jamaican…

Lately I’ve switched allegiance to “Team Wet”, when it comes to Pelau. That iconic one pot Caribbean dish you’ll find in some form or the other, across the islands. Don’t get me wrong! A grainy…

Yea… another recipe you won’t traditionally find in the Caribbean, but with my luv for oxtails, you know I have several recipes in my arsenal (and willing to share). So I dedicate this recipe to…

Curry Beef With Potato! Can Caribbean food get any better? Fork tender pieces of beef, potatoes falling apart to form a rich and thick gravy, the overall flavors of curry, herbs and the gentle kick…

I shared a similar recipe for Oxtails slowly cooked in Guinness back when the website was relatively new in 2009. However I received several requests for an updated version the past few months, so I…

This Cherry Rum BBQ Sauce is a great fusion… Canada meets the Caribbean. Freshly picked cherries from Niagara On The Lake, combined with sugarcane juice and all of her byproducts – Molasses, Rum and Demerara…

With the overwhelming success (and demand for more crockpot recipes) of the Slow-cooker Curry Goat recipe, I thought I'd share another Caribbean classic done in the very same crock-pot (slow-cooker). Fall off the bone tender oxtail, in a rich stew gravy like moms and grandma make, but in a slowcooker. Seasoned as we'd normally do in the Caribbean, these oxtails are slowly braised for tenderness and to infuse every piece with tons of mouth-watering flavor. Set it and forget it.. the perfect recipe for busy (and lazy) individuals.

Is there anything more comforting that fork tender oxtails served with a heaping pile of garlic mashed cassava (yams or potato will work also) on a chilly night, when you're tired from a long day? Yes, there is. Oxtails fork tender stewed in a rich herb and wine sauce! The flavors of this dish will surely impress you, your family and the lucky friends you invite over for dinner. While oxtail is a classic cut of meat to cook in the Caribbean, we rarely ever use wine in our cooking so this may seem a bit strange for my Caribbean people. Nevertheless... a stunning dish.
