Puerto Rico’s Markets

When exploring culinary Puerto Rico, what better place to start than a market? And who better to serve as our guide than Chef Wilo Benet, A Culinary Institute of America graduate and one of the island’s premier chefs whose restaurant Pikayo is a beacon to all who visit in search of the tastes of Puerto Rico. He’ll give us a basic course in the Puerto Rican market basket at the Plaza del Mercado, a small, but lively market in the Santurce area of San Juan.

Tobago Festivals galore: the Culinary Festival, dragon boating, horse racing & more!

June, July and August are perfect times to visit Tobago, because you’ll be stumped for choice when it comes to activities!

The highlight of June will be the anticipated Tobago Culinary Festival on 24 June from 10am at the Pigeon Point Heritage Park. Admission is free, with delicious Tobago cuisine being sold in the local and international food courts from 11am as part of this gastronomic expo!

Both Trinidad and Tobago are among the Caribbean’s most versatile culinary destinations. Nurtured by the THA, the event has morphed from several local cooks at Mt. Irvine beach some 15 years ago, to a headliner item on Trinidad and Tobago’s event calendar.

Thousands of patrons are expected to descend on Pigeon Point, and will enjoy not only an explosion of Tobago’s culinary flavours, but entertainment from hosts Errol Fabien and Nikki Crosby, two of T&T’s favourite comedians. Popular entertainers like Super Blue, Baron, Stalin and Explainer will also keep the vibes festive right through the day.

Meanwhile, local chefs will do battle in the kitchen stadium for the Mystery Basket and Iron Chef competitions, while bartenders attempt to wow the crowd with their colorful concoctions and mixing skills in the much-anticipated mixology contest. Secondary schools also return to the arena to test their skills and display their talents in the culinary arts. For hardcore foodies, a real treat will be the national culinary team and some of the island’s most talented chefs demonstrating the techniques and trade secrets that produce their trademark mouthwatering dishes.

This year, an added bonus will be the inclusion of a wine zone featuring both local and international wines.  Connoisseurs can sample some of their favorites while curious novices can indulge in tastings offered by popular wine distributors, including AMCO.
