Today we continue chatting with Chris De La Rosa<\/a> of CaribbeanPot.com<\/a>. Yesterday, we learned about how Chris began blogging, his daughters, and how he keeps them connected to Caribbean culture. \u00a0Now it is time for the stuff you’ve been waiting for. \u00a0Chris talks to us about tradition, race, discipline, and more. Leh we go!<\/p>\n

Socamom<\/strong>: Right now, at our house, the major reminder that my kids have of their Caribbean roots is Grandma in the kitchen! What are some of the day to day influences that remind you and your children of your Caribbean roots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> Again, food plays a huge part. So top of my head would be the scents they wake up to on the weekend or the one which greets them after school. Music, be it soca, parang, zouk or reggae they are surrounded by the pulsating vibes from the Caribbean in the house and car. And as you move from room to room it our home, you\u2019re engaged by a figurine, carving or picture on the wall, which not only signifies the Caribbean, but there\u2019s usually a story behind it. [Such as] where in the Caribbean we purchased it, if a visiting relative brought it for us or not and in the case of the collection of miniature Caribbean type houses we have..\u00a0 one is a parlour (corner store), something they know my mom (their grandma) had as a business when I was a kid on the islands.<\/p>\n

The digital frame in the main family room is always on displaying pictures from our trips.. the latest being 2013 Trinidad Carnival.<\/p>\n

Socamom:<\/strong> What are some of the Caribbean traditions that you miss the most that you would like to share with your children?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas… you\u2019ve not experience[d] Christmas until you awake Christmas morning in the Caribbean. The overall joyful spirit, the aromas and the waves of family and friends visiting and making your way from house to house with the captivating sounds of parang as your guide.<\/p>\n

<\/object> <\/p>\n

Socamom:<\/strong> Christmas is definitely one of my favorite memories of visiting Trinidad when I was a teenager. \u00a0What are some of your kids’ favorite things about being from the Caribbean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> At their age, it\u2019s always nice to see the pride in them when they find out a celebrity is from the Caribbean.. \u00a0Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, even the guy from \u201cLost\u201d, Henry Ian Cusick,\u00a0who went to school in Trinidad as a youth. I guess the new one causing a stir would be Trinidad James?<\/p>\n

With their first Carnival under their belts, they have a new appreciation for Machel, Bunji, Patrice and Blaxx. If only I can get them to listen to some Kitch, Rudder and Sparrow.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a huge Phase II fan, so steel pan is starting to rub off on them too.<\/p>\n

They will always get excited for the food of the Caribbean, especially Trinidad and Tobago and when it\u2019s grandmas cooking. I\u2019m forced to take the back seat when she\u2019s visiting. When we travel we always book the family suite with the kitchen so I can make them \u201chome\u201d food, as they scream for Caribbean flavours after 3 days of resort or hotel food. The funniest thing for them was buying \u2018stewed chicken\u2019 (Trinbago style) at a Chinese restaurant in St Maarten a few years back.<\/p>\n

Back when they just started school, I recall my parents would always bring school supplies for them from Trinidad. Like, West Indian Readers, the iconic alphabet chart and even things as obscure as the exercise books [copy book]. And now that they\u2019re grown, they look back with excitement when we speak about those things.<\/p>\n

Socamom:<\/strong> What are some Caribbean sayings that you find yourself using with your children that you heard growing up? Feel free to use patois, but include translations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> \u201cWaste Not Want Not\u201d… I always thought our mom coined this phrase.\u00a0 I grew up in a home where wasting was not an option and I try to pass that on to our girls. From my days working in the catering industry to everyday Canadian life, I see too much wasting and it drives me crazy.<\/p>\n

Socamom: Do you think you would be a different parent if you were raising your children in the Caribbean versus Canada? What would you do differently?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> My wife is Canadian, so her parenting techniques, which I assume she adopted from her parents, are different to the \u201cWest Indian\u201d way. I\u2019ll be honest and say it\u2019s been a struggle to find a balance where both parents are happy with the direction of parenting. I see Canadian kids having a lot of freedom to express themselves, but a lot of that freedom is misguided. We\u2019re lucky that we\u2019ve got the same set of values, so we\u2019ve had a good base to work from. \u00a0We became parents in our teenage years, but it\u2019s been 20+ years and we\u2019re still going strong.<\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> I\u2019ll say this… mixed race and mixed culture, and you add religion to the mix and you\u2019ll have a lifetime of learning, compromising and appreciation.<\/p>\n

If our daughters were raised in the Caribbean there would definitely be a different approach to discipline, taking ownership of one\u2019s actions and punishment.<\/p>\n

Socamom: Describe the kind of children that you hope that your unique mix of parenting styles will create.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> We already see traits of this in our eldest daughter, Kieana. She\u2019s very kind, giving and has that true \u2018welcoming\u2019 Caribbean spirit. Though we may be known as the life of the party and have a relaxed demeanor, in reality you won\u2019t find a more hard-working people and I see this in all 3 of our girls (they\u2019re coming out of the lazy teenage years).<\/p>\n

Socamom: Have the uniquely Caribbean aspects of your own upbringing made you a better parent? How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> Definitely. I have a better appreciation for \u201cfamily\u201d as a cohesive unit, where we stand together to overcome all obstacles. We\u2019re known as a people who are welcoming and giving in the Caribbean and if you were to poll any of our daughters friends, they would tell you that our home is very comforting to them and they enjoy our company. Not as friends, but as parents they can rely on.<\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/p>\n

Socamom: What advice do you have for parents who want to connect their children with Caribbean culture?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/a> Don\u2019t force anything onto your children. Let them see you read the Caribbean literature, let them hear you listening to the music or social commentary, watch the cultural videos when you know they\u2019re within reach and have that wonderful Caribbean bouquet of flavors in all its vibrant glory in your kitchen. The rest will follow.\u00a0 Subtle things like artwork on your walls will also help them relate to a culture they may be currently detached from.<\/p>\n

When our girls were younger I would take them to the library and just about every weekend we would go to the book stores to get reading material for them. It drove me crazy when I never saw them read and as I look at the bottom shelf of my library I can see books which were probably never opened. The fact remains.. they never saw me with a book in hand reading. What type of example was I setting for them?\u00a0 Children are master copy-cats!<\/p>\n

About Chris<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris De La Rosa\u2019s love of Caribbean cooking has taken him from a small village in Trinidad and Tobago to millions of kitchens around the world, thanks to his website CaribbeanPot.com. Launched in 2009 as a place for the self-taught chef to share his favourite Caribbean dishes and document family recipes for his daughters, the site, which has more than 385,000 page views a month, has grown to include a Facebook page of 27,000 fans, a newsletter with 24,000 subscribers and a Youtube channel that has amassed about 4.6 million views.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

From the time Chris<\/a> was just five-years-old, he was already comfortable in the kitchen, thanks to his mother\u2019s insistence that he partake in daily chores such as picking fresh herbs from the family garden. Gathering cooking tips from other family members along the way, Chris<\/a> was well equipped, by the time he moved to Canada in 1989, to fend for himself among the pots and pans. Not limited to Caribbean cooking, Chris<\/a> also mastered North American fare such as barbecue. However, his heart belonged to the Caribbean recipes on which he was raised.<\/p>\n
