Kenneth's Foreward
"This book was written as a historical record for younger generations of Trinidadians to stay connected to their heritage through traditional recipes, food imagery, notable historical figures, national events, cultural symbols, currency, and other references—including the national anthem and bird."

Our Dedication
We dedicate this book to our father and grandfather, Kenneth Aguillera, who painstakingly—yet lovingly—poured time and energy into assembling these recipes from his childhood through adulthood. He was a proud Trinidadian who loved his country. Although he did not have the opportunity to see his book published, we found great joy in fulfilling and completing what he had so carefully compiled—to bring his vision to life.
“To Trinidad and Tobago... with love, Kenneth Aguillera.®”
Enjoy!
