Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango

Dominique — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 10:00:24 +0000

This is a complete hybrid of different rice pudding recipes; American rice pudding, Indian rice pudding and Thai coconut sticky rice with mango. All combined through my love for coconut rice and mango, which I have my Jamaican roots to thank. I have to admit, I actually thought to myself is this recipe culinary appropriation?...

New Orleans

Dominique — Thu, 21 May 2020 12:00:26 +0000

*Note we went to New Orleans a couple of years ago, obviously pre Covid-19. I have finally found the time to document our trip and share it. When things settle down again, be sure to add NOLA to your list of places to visit. There is only one word to describe New Orleans and that...

Short Ribs with lots of Black Pepper and Onions

Dominique — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 11:00:39 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted a new recipe. Embarrassingly it has been almost 8 months. Parts of me feel like you can’t come back from that. Ultimately, I know that is that tiny devil on my shoulder trying to keep me from doing something that brings me joy and fulfillment. Yes, you read...

Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

Dominique — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 10:00:02 +0000

I struggle with creating content that consists of easy 30 minute meals versus things that I actually want to eat. I think it’s pretty clear what usually wins. That is not to say everything I share on here is complicated because it’s not but may require a trip outside of your comfort zone. For example,...

Coconut Rice with Crispy Ginger and Garlic

Dominique — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 11:00:54 +0000

Being part Jamaican I have an affinity for coconut rice (ex. rice and peas). Coconut rice is fragrant and flavorful. It’s eaten all over the world from India to Columbia. Probably because it is a great complement to anything from curries to grilled meat. This recipe is punched up a bit with green onion, cilantro...

Fig Custard Cake

Dominique — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 10:05:19 +0000

Sometimes you just crave a cake, not one laced with frosting, but one simple and studded with plump, juicy in-season fruit. This fig cake is not super sweet which makes it sociably acceptable to eat any time of the day. We, in fact, had it for breakfast and I did serve it with fresh brown...

Grilled Sambal Chicken

Dominique — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 10:00:56 +0000

Sambal Oelek is the king of condiments in our house! We add it to marinades, to hummus, and just about any place we want to add some heat. Most would compare it to sriracha, but I disagree and I personally like it better than sriracha because it not only adds heat but adds more complex...

Grilled Corn, Tomato and Jalapeno Salad

Dominique — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 10:00:09 +0000

Corn is the epitome of summer. And if you are attending a BBQ, you can pretty much guarantee there will be corn. I definitely will admit that plain buttered corn, kind of bores me. Don’t get me wrong it is delicious, but the sweet, crisp kernels beg to be tossed in a salad. This Grilled...
