I recently discovered Trini Gourmet, a food blog featuring “mouthwatering Trinidadian fusion recipes and international cuisine”. It got me wondering how many other Caribbean food blogs there are out there: I found Can Cook, Must Cook (right now there’s a rather, um, striking picture of a pig’s head on the front page; I don’t think I’m particularly squeamish, but it shook me a little bit, so I’m giving you due warning), Lifespan of a Chennette, and Petit Careme. Interesting to note that all these sites are run by Trinidadians; are Trinis bigger foodies than other Caribbean people? If anyone knows of any other Caribbean food blogs, I’d be glad for links in the comments.
hey :D thanks for the mention! it is funny how many Trini food bloggers there are, I found out the other day that an old high school classmate also has one (living in Florida now) as well!

Hope you’ll pass by again and don’t be a stranger :) Feel free to leave comments :D

Hey man, thanks for the shoutout! I think Trini cuisine is the most diverse in the region and that’s due to the ethnic mix in our country. Whether we’re bigger foodies than others in the region? I don’t know. You will realise that the people you mentioned are all living out of Trinidad and this is probably one factor fuelling our passion because we want something to remind us of home – what better reminder than the tastes and smells of your native land.

not true at all Trinifood, I am living in Trinidad. Why would you assume everyone was away? :)

Thanks for the link to Laurel’s, TriniGourmet! And yeah, I was going to mention too that not all the Trini food-bloggers are away from Trinidad!

I kinda live in Trinidad, but also in Guyana right now, but the truth is, my time spent away from Trinidad previously, gave me the desire to SHARE with the world Trini food and especially pictures!
