Fortsatt her . . .

Hei der. Tilgi den lange, lange pauser mellom innleggene. Roots Cuisine is (therefore, I am) in transition. I’m planning and expanding parts of the organization and other projects and preparing personally & professionally for the next phase of growth, not to mention continuing to try and master WordPress and Photoshop.

“Do you like candy?” ten-year old Rosa asked excitedly.

My childhood friend, Ruth and I looked at each other looked at each other over the plate of cold noodles and pork buns we’d been gorging on when Rosa sat down next to me. I smirked, Ruth rolled her eyes and as a master of biting [...]

På yams (Del 2)… Yam Grøt

Av Rachel Finn På November 23, 2011 · Legg igjen en kommentar

Utvikle fortrolighet med yams, sanne yams, spesielt for folk som har ingen, is sure to surprise. Som nevnt her, de er ikke de myke, søte knoller amerikanere i USA bruker til å piske opp paier, eller gryteretter. Disse rettene er domenet til den delikate søtpotet.

Most of them logistical and [...]

Today people around the country (and the world) will celebrate Juneteenth, which is a celebration of the end of slavery…an emancipation day of sorts. I may even fry some chicken or bake a cake, or something, or maybe I will just have a glass of wine.

Here in the United States [...]

På yams (Del I)

Av Rachel Finn På Mai 5, 2011 · 1 Kommentar

In Jamaican the word for eat is nyam. Ingen tilfeldigheter her. I have [...]

Bound for Turkey

Av Rachel Finn På February 19, 2011 · 9 Kommentarer

As some of you know I’ve had a great opportunity to advance the cause of Roots Cuisine. I was offered the opportunity to be part of the U.S. State Department Speakers program back in November, which meant that I would be traveling to Turkey to speak (initially) about Louisiana foodways. Interest in topics has expanded [...]
