Hi All
Hope you have been enjoying the first half of Chapter One of God of the Cocoa. I realise I have not been paying attention to the recipes. In the Tasty Caribbean Cooking page, I have posted a new recipe, which is based in an Indian way of cooking Aubergine. Roasted Aubergine. (Also known as Egg Plant, Melongine, Biagan, depending on where you live.) It is a healthy dish, as well as tasty, and well worth trying. And, easy to prepare.
Roasted Aubergine, also known as Baigan Choka, by the Indians in Trinidad, would have been a dish that they would have prepared in God of the Cocoa. They would have roasted the aubergine it over a chulha, an earthern fireplace, in the kitchen....described in the novel.
Post me a comment if you like it, or ask a question.
Bye for now,

Set in 1917 Trinidad, twelve year old Amina becomes very ill with typhoid fever and close to death. Miraculously, she begins to recover, but is horrified to discover that her parents have broken their promise to her, and a marriage is arranged. She hoped to remain in education to become a teacher. But she is prepared to fight, and together with her friend Sumati, they make a pact. But Sumati's falls in love, and takes a path which endangers both of them.

- The Wedding Drums - my novel set in an early 20C village in Trinidad is almost here. Two young girls, Amina and Sumati plot to escape their arranged marriages and plan to live life following their own dreams. But Sumati falls in love and runs away, putting Amina's plans in jeopardy. Neither of them bank on what is in store for them. Soon they face the adult world of scheming men, corruption, prostitution and violence, and life in the village will never be the same again.
