A little about me

Savour the quintessential street food of Trinidad & Tobago – the famous Ali’s Doubles – this culinary masterpiece is the creation of my grandparents and their four siblings in 1936, Princes Town. Doubles was born on the streets of Trinidad & Tobago and to this day it remains the favourite Street Food of anyone who has ever had one. Incidentally, the name “doubles” did not come into existence until 1959…

Purple Hibiscus’ traditional and fusion dishes pay homage to the very nature of “the Caribbean” – our Culture, People, History. Our fusion of flavas are unmatched anywhere in the world, a fusion resulting from the meeting of the East and the West when the world was still “flat”, and the delicious culinary evolution of that meeting (Carib, Arawak, East Indian, African, Chinese, Continental).

I like to think of Purple Hibiscus as the next best thing to you coming into my home in the Caribbean and let me cook up a little something for you out of my kitchen.
