I used to drink fresko everyday after school. I used to add toasted peanuts to mine. The pleasure of the good old times! This version of mine uses real fruit for the flavor of the syrups. I got 4 flavors: coconut water, passion fruit, watermelon, coconut milk. Which color fresko do you like?? Mine was

Macaroni gratiné is a dish that is present at any Haitian occasion. It is a very loved recipe. I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve eaten this food. It is especially loved by children. What makes this macaroni and cheese different than other mac&cheese out there is the choice of milk, cheese
Sos mori is a very loved recipe of mine. I love to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is that good. I love the saltiness of the fish, the mild texture of the vegetables and I love to pair it with the sweetness of yellow plantain. This dish is soFISHticated enough for all
Growing up in Haiti, hot chocolate was a classic for breakfast or supper. I loved it, and still love it to this day. Whenever I’m making it, the smell of chocolate envelop the house, and I am filled with a nostalgic feeling. But no matter how good Haitian hot chocolate is, in my opinion, it’s
