Experience the authentic art of cassava bread-making/farine at Plas Kassav in Saint Lucia!
Cassava farine is a versatile, gluten-free staple used in many local dishes.
 
Visitors to Plas Kassav get to witness the entire process firsthand; they witness the traditional methods used, the making of the flat, brown cakes, cooked in a traditional oven. They also get to sample fresh cassava bread, and even take some home as a tasty souvenir. It's an experience that blends culture, tradition, and flavor in the most delightful way.
 
Plas Kassav is an oasis along a lonely stretch of road through the village of Anse la Verdure on St Lucia’s west coast.
 
The family processes raw cassava to make farine (cassava flour), then concocts a variety of flavoured unleavened breads; coconut, cherry and raisin, apple and raisin, cinnamon, banana, chocolate, saltfish, smoked herring, ginger, peanut, pineapple and apricot.
 
The bread can be eaten with tea or any beverage of one’s choice; the plain ones can be eaten as sandwiches with fillings.
 
Procedure: 
 
Fetch the cassava (Most times they buy the raw material) They grate the raw material in an automated grater, and from that you have to press it to extract the liquid in a screw press. Then sift the grated cassava and the parching begins in the big iron pot. The farine flour is taken to make the cassava bread. The quantity depends on demand.
The popular bread is also sold in supermarkets in St Lucia and at the creole festival, Jounen Kwรฉyรฒl, celebrated in October.

Baked Chicken

  Baked Chicken | Simple Meal Ideas | Cooking Tips       No recipe today, however this is today's cooking tips and a simple meal idea:   Baking Chicken tips:   Rinse the chicken and pat it dry before baking. Once you remove the chicken from its package, rinse it under cool water in the sink (note: always sanitize your sink with disinfectant afterward). Next, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture will ensure you get extra crispy skin.   To reduce fat and calories, you can skin chicken legs.  Prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400°F.   Spices: I like to use cumin, onion (grated) garlic (grated), paprika, celery powder, cayenne pepper and dried thyme if you have. Please make sure they are fresh! Spices are delicious, but a stale spice can easily ruin a dish. However, you are free to try different spice combinations.   The secret to making them crispy? Don't bake the chi...

One Day at a Time

  One Day at a Time      Working out takes courage and self-motivation. It’s not always about losing weight — for me, it's about staying healthy, strong, and grateful that I can move. Whether it's Taekwondo or Zumba, my goal is the same: to stay active, to keep my energy flowing, and to enjoy the process — no stress, no pressure, just one day at a time. At my age, it may be harder to see quick results, but that doesn’t stop me. I focus on progress, not perfection. Some days, I don’t even want to leave the house — but that's when I give myself that little pep talk, reminding myself why I'm doing this. And once I start, no matter how tough the session gets, I’m always grateful I showed up. Because being able to move, stretch, kick, and dance is a blessing — health is true wealth. Every workout is a victory over excuses, a reminder that I am stronger than my doubts. Progress may be slow, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Slowly but surely — I’m building s...
