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!
Boneless Guyanese Lamb Curry
MEAT
This is my trusted Lamb Curry recipe. It’s actually my mum’s recipe so I can’t really claim it as mine! It's an instant crowd pleaser every time! I’m team potatoes when it comes to curry, I always want potatoes in my curry, but if they are not for you, you can just leave them out. For me, they definitely add flavour and thicken up the gravy. I like my lamb on the bone for curry. If you do too this recipe still works just swap out the boneless meat for meat on the bone.
Green Seasoning
VEGAN
A key ingredient when cooking any meat or fish dish in the Caribbean, it can also be used to add flavour to any vegetarian or vegan dish too.
Guyanese Chicken Curry
MEAT
Yes, I said chicken curry and not curry chicken. This is a staple in most Guyanese households. My recipe is pinched from my mum because we all know mums chicken curry is the best!
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 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!
