Informative, educational, and inspiring, Out of the Doubles Kitchen is a fascinating memoir of the first family of Doubles ─ the number one street food of Trinidad and Tobago. The book traces the evolution of this business from being “poor-people-food” to a multimillion-dollar industry. The family’s struggles in introducing this new ethnic food to a diverse population are vividly narrated. The author engagingly recounts his family’s experiences with the social hurdles of abject poverty, illiteracy, alcoholism, domestic abuse, shame, race and class. His writing transports the reader back to Trinidad when its plural society was in its infancy. The book is also a remarkable testament to the extraordinary legacy left by the author’s father. In addition to documenting the history of his family's creation of Doubles, the book is a deeply personal memoir of the author's own journey from the Doubles Kitchen to the American Dream. This motivational memoir also leaves the reader salivating for a taste of Doubles. About the author
