Shirma's Soul Food

Shirma cooks a tasty curry chicken and shows how to make a roti plate from scratch.

The Caribbean kitchen is strongly influenced by American cuisine. Today Shirma Rouse prepares three American classics, with a vegetarian twist. She prepares vegan mac & cheese, cornbread and pulled oyster mushroom.

Shirma and Rob de Nijs make a good burger, with coleslaw and sweet potato fries.

It's Fried Chicken Day! So who else to invite to Shirma Rouse's Caribbean kitchen than Jandino 'Judeska' Asporaat? On the menu: fried chicken wings, with potato salad and aubergine fries! Let's cook!

Shirma ushers in the weekend in her Caribbean kitchen and that means: drinks time. She doesn't do that with standard bitterballs. They become profiteroles. She makes a savoury version with tuna and a sweet version with mango.

It's Pina Colada day and so Shirma is making all kinds of things with coconut. How about cajun coconut butter corn as well as deep-fried coconut prawns? Singing sister Trijntje Oosterhuis is a guest.
