A Tour of Trinidad's Market

For recipes, visit www.ciaprochef.com/WCA
In Port of Spain's markets, ingredients from Europe, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent come together on vendor tables. Culantro here is known as shadow benny or chadon benni -- a corruption of the French chardon benit or "blessed thistle." It is a part of the green seasoning that is a Trinidad and Tobago culinary basic. Chef Debra Sardinha-Metivier of DSM Creative Cuisine, gives us our first look at the diversity of the Trinidadian market basket.

Great job guys!!!!! One of the best commentaries if not the best I have heard.

How many Caribbean people in the diaspora really know how to prepare the items on display...the way our ancestors did? I hope the Chefs will show the next generation (on RUclips) how to prepare tasty and staple Trini foods using these items.

I enjoyed the tour of the market. It brought back memories. The chefs through their explanations of the items at the market. You could just feel the passion for food.

Both the women chief from the beginning and the man chief at the end spoke very interlectual and educated. They both gave exceptional explanations on the different market ingredients and indigenous cuisine..
