"Okay, so sometimes you just have to hide squash in things--but the squash gives mashed potatoes a creamier but almost bolder taste. I’m a garlic fiend, so the garlic sets off the creaminess with almost a tang. I found this recipe in a magazine and changed it a little bit. Great with a mushroom gravy or some steamed veggies."

"Better than Campbell's but just as comforting! Loosely based on a gourmet cooking magazine's recipe for Beef Barley soup, I didn't have any barley or okra, so I added root veggies to make it more hearty, like a rich broth with the chunkyness of stew.

"Extremely popular at Carnival time. It can be bought piping hot from street vendors and is served at most carnival fêtes. West Indian corn is more starchy and less sweet than the North American variety but I don't imagine that other varieties of corn would detract from the flavour of this dish.
