Exploring Carib-influenced cuisine Just imagine feasting on aromatic barbecued meat, curried coconut crayfish, or even sauteed worms. On the side, you might try cassava bread, savoury farine “rice” or plantain pastelles. And for dessert, perhaps some sweet cassava pone, washed down with delicious, creamy, hot creole cocoa, or local fruit wine. These are just some of the recipes in a new book called Kunuwaton, which celebrates the Amerindian influences in T&T cuisine. The word “kunuwaton” means culture in the Karina language of one of Trinidad’s First Peoples. The book is by Dr Satnarine Balkaransingh, with recipes by Jassie Singh and Ricardo Hernandez. The book takes us on an educational journey to the culture and cuisine of some of Kairi’s (Trinidad’s) indigenous Amerindian descendants—the Santa Rosa First Peoples of Arima. Kunuwaton—Culture and Cuisine of the Santa Rosa First Peoples of Arima, Kairi will be available at local stores including Nigel Khan in Trincity Mall and Jadoo’s in Arima.
