TriniGourmet.com : Sauté Trinbago 2010: Part 7 - Closing Thoughts (video)

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:14:37 +0000

I definitely do hope that they hold it again. It\\\'s funny, but reading your comment I remember my original thought, when I saw Scorch and Triniscene listed as the sources for more info on the event, was that it clearly wasn\\\'t gonna be \\\'for me\\\'. Definitely something for them to think about if they are serious...

Hey kram, thanks for commenting! Did you see the 2008 footage that I linked to? They look completely different (face, coloring, body shape, hair :) ). Thanks for the instrument clarification :) Will edit now :) hehe Hope to see you there next year! Hope there -is- one next year! Hope they contact food bloggers next year!

Mention of their rather lukewarm promotional approach and COMPLETE overlooking of the local blogosphere, not to mention local FOOD blogosphere will be made :) Have enough material for 7 posts so the next 6 parts will be going out over the next few days :) More food pix to come too :)

TriniGourmet.com : Sauté Trinbago is Today! (video)

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:45:32 +0000

Hey Chennette and Wizzy! It was a blast. I was really impressed and thought it should have been better attended. The crowd was good but it could have larger. I am still going through the photos and videos and editing them down but hopefully the post will be up before Friday :) The fact that neither of you knew about it just confirmed what I thought was a rather lackluster promotion strategy. Even if costs had to be managed it's obvious that they never even considered the local blogosphere, let alone local food blogosphere as a way of getting the word out! *sigh*

TriniGourmet.com : Coconut Bake (recipe)

Hi ramona! :) Very astute observation! :) In that particular photo I had run out of margarine and so yes I was using shortening to make up the amount :) Shortening and margarine (as well as butter) can be used solely, or in combination. It will not affect the texture of the final product, only the final flavour (will be more or less buttery). Hope that helps. Let me know how it turns out :)

Definitely! I have tried it a few times and quite enjoyed it :D

TriniGourmet.com : Carmen's Jamaican Ginger Beer

Thu, 8 Jul 2010 14:12:28 +0000

Hi Amy, the beer refers to the fermentation that is involved in its creation. However the actual alcoholic content of this recipe is negligible to the point of 0 :) Hope that helps!

i see chilis (not thai) at peppercorns sometimes, rarer even at hilo.... :(

TriniGourmet.com : Trinidad Black Cake (recipe)

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:31:13 +0000

hi Michelle. I just received your question, I hope the cake came out well! I normally like to soak the fruit in the baileys first, and puree that lightly before baking. I am not sure if pouring it onto the cake after baking will have the same result as I believe that the creaminess of the liqueur could affect the overall colour and result. Do let me know if you proceeded that way and if you were satisfied :) Best Wishes!

TriniGourmet.com : Trinidad Chicken Chow Mein (recipe)

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:18:01 +0000

Hi there, I have a strong sensitivity to MSG and have never had a reaction to this recipe. The only ingredient that may cause a problem for you is the soy sauce. Even then you can control the amount, and some brands are \\\'better\\\' than others.

TriniGourmet.com : Bertie's Mega-Hot Trinidad Pepper Sauce (recipe)

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:27:58 +0000

Hi Bill, after rereading my father's recipe for Trinidad Pepper Sauce I see no reasons why steamed and frozen peppers can not be used. If it was a recipe where the peppers needed to retain their form it may have been a problem but as they are pureed I say go right ahead! The only diffference I think you will experience is a reduction in the heat profile. Let me know how it turns out. Best Wishes! :)

sounds like a great variation! :)

TriniGourmet.com : Trinidad Corn Soup with Cornmeal Dumplings (recipe)

Wed, 2 Jun 2010 15:46:53 +0000

Hi Simon, polenta grade cornmeal can be a good bit coarser. I would suggest grinding it more finely in a blender or food processor, but after that is done it can be used in place of cornmeal :) Best Wishes!

TriniGourmet.com : Ciabatta Bread (recipe)

Wed, 26 May 2010 13:33:19 +0000

if you have the time tonight do it tonight, otherwise an additional 24 hour wait should not be detrimental. The sourdough flavour will just be more pronounced. Thanks for mentioning that your kitchen is air-conditioned. I forget sometimes that not everyone\\\'s kitchen is at tropical levels. Very important for the sponge to be in slightly warmer setting :) !
