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
Guyanese Oil Roti
VEGETARIAN / VEGAN
The perfect accompaniment to any curry. Soft, flaky warm oil roti (or some call it paratha roti). Here’s my mum’s recipe. I’m yet to master getting them round every time, but it’s the taste that counts!
Mac and Cheese / Macaroni Pie
VEGETARIAN / VEGAN
This is my foolproof Mac & Cheese recipe! A crispy stringy cheesy comforting side dish, for me this dish goes alongside a big Sunday dinner of Oxtail, rice and peas, fried plantain and callaloo! But it’s equally delicious eaten with fried chicken or just on its own!
Carrot Cake
NUTS
This quick and easy carrot loaf cake is always a crowd pleaser. The orange zest in the icing gives it that extra boost of flavour too.
Guyanese Pholourie
VEGAN
Pholourie is a type of fritter made with seasoned split pea flour. The batter is thick but runny enough to be dropped into hot oil, then shallow-fried until golden brown. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside! Delicious served with some mango sour or tamarind chutney.
Homemade Hummus
VEGAN
Once you master this homemade hummus recipe you’ll never want to buy shop bought hummus again. Great for using up tins of chickpeas in the back of your pantry. It’s the perfect work from home snack, great for kids and is an excellent all-rounder for picnics!
Homemade Pepper Sauce
VEGAN
A staple in any Caribbean household, each will have its own method of making it. And it can be added to any dish to give it a fuller flavour that packs a punch!
