COLUMNS

Soon you may find that the links below are no longer be available. Here's why. The newspaper that I write for, Stabroek News, effective from December 1, 2010 made their online version of the newspaper and columns such as mine, Tastes Like Home, accessible only by paid subscription. Personally, I think that it is an unfortunate situation, but it is what it is.

As a result, you will notice that I no longer link directly to my column online in my blog posts. Due to this development, I have decided to distribute a free monthly newsletter that will contain abridged versions of my columns effective from January 2011, to all interested. In other words, come January 2011, my first newsletter will contain the 4 abridged versions of December's columns complete with accompanying recipes and photographs, February's newsletter will have January's abridged columns and so on.

UPDATE: The Newsletter, TASTESMONTLY, is currently on a temporary hiatus. Thanks for your interest.

To receive my posts directly in your inbox, please use the subscribe my email box on the homepage that can be found in the right hand column.
