Oscypek and Food Fest Bahamas, 2018

October 19, 2018 by Gabrielle Leave a Comment

Oscypki and jams

There’s this Polish cheese, oscypek. Trust me when I tell you it’s one of the best cheeses humans have ever come up with. The first time I ever had it was, unsurprisingly, in Poland. My family and I were on a trip to Zakopane, a small town at the base of the Tatra mountains. There…

You know those times when you feel out of sorts and can’t quite put your finger on why? Or you know the why, but the thing that’ll put you right again is slippery, vague, just out of reach? That’s how I’ve been the last week or so. It’s mental and physiological: I’ve been getting up…

Hey y’all! How’s your summer going? In addition to a couple afternoons at the beach, so far I’ve used my days for picnics, a field trip and finally visiting places I’d only driven by before. Here’s a snapshot. 🙂 This conch salad stand is in the middle of Wulff Road, a busy street in Nassau…

Dale's Mango Tree

One of my favourite books as a girl was Dale’s Mango Tree. Right now, as I’m trying to explain to you why I loved it so much, all sorts of words and emotions are tumbling over themselves inside me. Where to begin! I had my mum read it to me scores of times, and then…

Model Bakery dinner rolls

Last week one of my little girl dreams came true: I went behind-the-scenes at a bakery in its early morning hours. Model Bakery is a close-knit, family-run operation and I’m thrilled and thankful they welcomed me into their world. Miss Bridgette, one of the managers, is warm, generous and kind.

Auntie Moneira's papayas

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! I know Easter is over but this is still a thrilling thing to celebrate. My weekend involved fried fish, plenty of hot cross buns and I made my way to the beach. Who could ask for anything more? I hope you had a good weekend too. As usual, I’ve got…

Peas n' Rice Closeup

So here’s the thing. Peas n’ rice is the side dish on the table at every Bahamian event. If you go to a restaurant or take-away that serves Bahamian lunch and dinner, peas n’ rice is going to be on their menu. It’s not hard to make, but it is hard to make well. At…
