Who doesn’t love a good guacamole? It’s the perfect addition to parties and get-togethers.

In case you’re wondering, zaboca is Trini speak for avocado. Our choka is a quick and easy recipe. You’ll be astounded by the taste - it’s better than what you’ll get at any grocery store!

Read MoreYou can say we’re Trini to de bone, because we sure do love making curry! It’s one of our favorite foods, and if we’re not currying chicken, we’ll often do some curry shrimp, or curry potatoes and channa (chick peas).
