Curry Chicken By Arshena,
I learned to love different cuisines from my mom. Although my parents were born and raised in Guyana, and we immigrated from Trinidad when I was still a baby, my mom cooked everything from curry to spaghetti. But she didn’t write her recipes down. When I got married and had to cook for my own family, I learned through trial and lots of error and I gained confidence through practice. @week.end.cook is a way for me to express my love of all kinds of food, inspire others to try new things, and document my easy and approachable recipes. One day, I hope to compile all my recipes into a cookbook for my kids.
