These recipes represent, for me, classic Trinidadian home cooking—items you’ll find in every household either as daily meals or for special occasions. There are a couple—like my friends Kashia Cave’s shrimp ceviche—and my own coconut bread which are a spin on Trinidad & Tobago’s flavors and ingredients. For the most part, these recipes use items that are now readily available in most grocery stores so reproducing in your home is easy to do.
