Nonna Pauline from Trinidad, West Indies
Ms. Pauline was born in Trinidad West Indies. When she was a very young child she came to the United States with her mother. Pauline is the proud mother of Charles and Kiya. Charles has blessed her with two beautiful granddaughters, Anna and Mya. Pauline is a published author of the titled book ” Mirror Images”.
Pauline often reminisced about the delightful aromas wafting from her mother’s kitchen as she cooked all the Island foods. As a young mother Pauline wondered what could she leave her children? What would be her legacy? She questioned and pondered these thoughts. Her spirit leaped as she recalled how certain food scents were able to evoke wonderful memories that bought her back to the time, place and people involved. Her aha moment! That’s when she began to dabble more in the kitchen by experimentation and duplicating traditional West Indian dished that her mother made for her and her sister. Since then she has had the pleasure of cooking for friends, family and guest who have been enraptured by the taste, and textures of her tantalizing Trinidadian dishes.
