Home-cooked recipes that leave your soul happy. Many of my recipes are inspired by the food my Guyanese parents & grandparents cooked for me.
Recipes & Methods
Jerk style Chicken wings
MEAT
A quick and tasty take on jerk chicken wings, using a non traditional cooking method.
Corned Beef and Aloo (potato)
MEAT
A staple in most Caribbean households. This dish is ready in 20 mins flat and is a crowd pleaser every, time, typically served with white rice, but I love mine with either fried bake or roti.
Each household will have its own version of making this wholesome dish, here’s mine.
Boneless Guyanese Lamb Curry
MEAT
This is my trusted Lamb Curry recipe. It’s actually my mum’s recipe so I can’t really claim it as mine! It's an instant crowd pleaser every time! I’m team potatoes when it comes to curry, I always want potatoes in my curry, but if they are not for you, you can just leave them out. For me, they definitely add flavour and thicken up the gravy. I like my lamb on the bone for curry. If you do too this recipe still works just swap out the boneless meat for meat on the bone.
Jamaican Oxtail Stew
MEAT
This dish requires slow Sunday cooking. You can’t rush it, it needs to take its time and ideally you want to season your meat the night before, so save this recipe for when you’ve got enough time and fancy a slow lazy Sunday. All the rich delicious, melt in the mouth goodness makes this is the perfect soul food Sunday meal.
Guyanese Chicken Curry
MEAT
Yes, I said chicken curry and not curry chicken. This is a staple in most Guyanese households. My recipe is pinched from my mum because we all know mums chicken curry is the best!
Sausage Tray Bake
MEAT
A fantastic winter warmer, wholesome, full of flavour and healthy! I've used 50% pork sausages for this recipe, the remainder 50% of the sausage is made from vegetables (chickpea, spinach and red pepper) they are from Waitrose, but any sausages of your choice would work in this dish.
