When our friend and fellow creative pro Mwenda told us about his aunt’s cooking skills, we were interested. But we were not expecting to be moved by a shoot in this way. What was anticipated to be great footage documenting a known local sweet, turned out to be a reminder of something deeper. Food feeds… Continue reading Making Toolum With Aunty J

CHEFCHAT @ AIOLI
The idea of being a chef in T&T is one that is slowly becoming more of a viable and accepted option as a career path. Unlike the past, the chefs of today enjoy a kinda rock star status that affords them not only sustainable income, but the respect and admiration of family, friends and the… Continue reading CHEFCHAT @ AIOLI
CHEFCHAT @ ZAZOU TTRW2016
In keeping with the name and attitude of the next restaurant we visited on the TriniChow/EAF joyride, this post is a lil bit… zazou. Zazou is an old French slang that means eccentric, not the norm. It’s a good description for Chef Pierre Le Bihan and his team at ZaZou Bistro Moderne. It’s also a… Continue reading CHEFCHAT @ ZAZOU TTRW2016
ChefChat @ THE CENTRO TTRW2016
We tend to look at foreign brands as elements that erode local culture. While in some cases that might be true, there are instances that demonstrate how the right balance can actually enhance and develop what we know. The Centro in The Courtyard by Marriott does that. Executive Chef Raymond Joseph (one of the few… Continue reading ChefChat @ THE CENTRO TTRW2016
ChefChat @ JOSEPH’S TTRW2016
One of the things that make T&T such a great place for food is the blend of cultures on the island. Each one brings a host of different ingredients, cooking techniques, flavors and styles to the table. Getting down on a nice plate of traditional (insert any background yuh want here) food, is like a… Continue reading ChefChat @ JOSEPH’S TTRW2016
ChefChat @ PECHE TTRW2016
It’s Restaurant Week time in T&T. That’s as good a time as any for us to join TriniChow on a culinary joyride, talking to a few chefs about our rapidly growing food and beverage industry. We call it ChefChat. This season, as our chefs prepare to entertain the senses of curious, flavor-seeking patrons, we try to… Continue reading ChefChat @ PECHE TTRW2016
EAF @ LIVET
#10 Eighth Street Barataria is home to one of Barataria’s best kept secrets. Livet Wellness Center and Holistic Spa. You really don’t expect to encounter a business of this nature, maneuvering the concrete and asphalt grid that is Barataria. But when you consider what good health and healthy living means to a community, it’s a… Continue reading EAF @ LIVET
EAF @ TRINICOOKS BRUNCH
Trinicooks is one of the few units we say yes to without much explanation of what we’re saying yes to. Firstly because they are yet to invite us to something that was a waste of time. But also because we enjoy hanging out with Joel and Mirella. They bring a wealth of knowledge to the… Continue reading EAF @ TRINICOOKS BRUNCH
EAF @ KRAVE BREAKFAST
We are glad to confirm that KRAVE is still a great reason to take a ride on the South side. In a landscape known for products that start off nicely then quickly boil down to “meh”, constant improvement is refreshing to see. So we were genuinely excited by the invitation to check out their new MODERN… Continue reading EAF @ KRAVE BREAKFAST
