MASHED CANDIED YAMS



Mashed Candied Yams image

Although I will always fondly remember my moms yams without marshmallows, I really wanted to try the candied version. After much trial and error, and mashing up a few of my favorite recipes, I created these. I've been told by friends and family that don't even like yams that I must make these every thanksgiving.

Caldo De Peixe (Cape Verde Islands) Fish Soup image

This is a traditional recipe from the Islands that Cape Verdeans still make. Additional seasonings are left to the cook, or table condiments can accompany the dish. This recipe was adapted from the Smithsonian Institution's, 1995 Festival of American Folklife Cookbook. Recipes for the cookbook were contributed by American Cape Verdeans who are active in preserving their cultural heritage. There are about 500,000 American Cape Vedeans.
