Dear Editor,
As a regular reader of Cynthia Nelson’s fine pieces on Guyanese/Caribbean cooking in The Scene in Saturday’s edition of Stabroek, I should not have been surprised at the quality of her book Tastes Like Home. It surpasses all expectations.
Her pieces capture the warmth and the experience of love among family and friends in the preparation and sharing of a meal. Whether it be bake and salt fish, baigan choka or whatever, she elevates it to gourmet class.
Her writing and excellent photography demonstrate much pride in and appreciation for the many beautiful things Guyanese.
Ms Nelson is deserving of our highest praise for her work, and to The Scene a hearty thank you for bringing her cooking and writing to our attention. You have both made us all proud.
Yours faithfully,
Albert Rodrigues
