Shivi Ramoutar on the caribbean cuisine, comfort foods, and cooking clever

In this week’s episode TV chef and food writer Shivi Ramoutar joins host Samuel Goldsmith to share her culinary adventures, her love of the Caribbean cuisine and her journey from law to food. She discusses her childhood memories of Trinidad and Leicestershire, her TV show with Jimmy Doherty and offers practical cooking tips and techniques. Join us for a delightful and informative conversation filled with humour, nostalgia, and mouth-watering dishes.

Shivi Ramoutar was born in Trinidad to culturally diverse parents and brought up in the heady heights of New York, the grassy fields of the English countryside, and the eclectic buzz of London. It has meant that her first love, Caribbean food, has also been taken on a journey, still ongoing... With the help of her adventures, Shivi has made it her culinary mission to twist these classic Caribbean dishes and ingredients from her childhood into her own contemporary delights. Her first cookery book, Caribbean Modern was published in 2015 and her latest cookbook, Cook Clever: One Chop, No Waste, All Taste, was published in 2023.
