CORN PUDDIN'
CORN PUDDIN'

This is my hyper fixation dish lately and I know I had it at one of my elder’s house when I was a child. I just can’t remember whose house it was. My aunt told me my maternal grandmother made it all the time but I never got to try hers. I either had it at one of my great aunt’s houses or my cousin’s grandmother’s house. So this recipe is a mash up of recipes to try and get at the taste and texture I remember in my head from childhood.

TAPADO GARIFUNA
TAPADO GARIFUNA

I met my bestie as a freshman in college. The first time I heard her talk to her mom on the phone and she started speaking Spanish I was shocked! I said, “black people speak Spanish?!” Spanish is her first language and she was my first exposure to Afro-Latin and Garifuna culture. This is my bestie's mom's recipe for a rich Honduran seafood stew made with fish, shrimp, coconut milk, green plantains, and aromatic herbs, simmered to a comforting, tropical depth of flavor.
