Today is Old Year’s Day and we’re sticking to that West African tradition of having Black Eyed Peas to bring prosperity in the year to come.

Vegan Dasheen (Taro) “Oil-Down” & Callaloo Hash
Sometimes I feel like straying from the typical festive rice, lasagne and pastelles for Christmas lunch. Usually for me that means making dishes using ground provisions, mainly because my Christmas lunch prep almost always begins with a market run and since Callaloo and boiled Dasheen is a vegan dish I enjoy making during the year… Continue reading Vegan Dasheen (Taro) “Oil-Down” & Callaloo Hash
