The not so simplequest for a good ol’fashioned Bulla
We thought our quest for
good old-fashioned bulla
recipes was simple enough.
Responding to the longing
of Vancouver, Canada,
reader Barbara Binns
(August - November 2010)
for an ol’ time Bulla oozing
with dark molasses and
perked up with fresh ginger,
we put out the call. But, lo
and behold, we’ve come to
realize that folks hold their
bulla recipes close.
Oh, we’ve been titillated
by Bulla stories, but then
told that they remain closely
guarded family secrets. So
we’re still looking. E-mail us

do you
remember
macca fat?Reader Paulette Shorter
who grew up in Kingston
but now lives in New
York, says she has dim
memories of macca fat
which she thinks might
have been a fruit.
Shorter is wondering if
other readers remember
anything called macca fat.
If you remember macca
fat, let us know.

Food inspired by...
Grandma
Actually, she was my great grandmother,
and back in St. Mary, Jamaica, we called
her Sister Wadi. I remember that she
was tall and proud and taught me
how to cook.
The food I serve at my restaurant
may have a modern twist – with
items like the Bob Marley Pizza
Bowl – but every bite is
flavoured with memories
of Sister Wadi.

Rum balls are the perfectindulgence and they aregreat for holiday parties.
Crunchy Rum Ballsn 2 1/2 cups finely crushedvanilla cookie wafersn 2 tablespoons unsweetenedcocoa powder

Variations: Instead ofvanilla cookie wafers,try crushed shortbreadcookies, graham crackercrumbs, crushedmeringues, gingercookies or chocolatewafers.Substitute a cup ofpecans or desiccatedcoconut for the walnuts or go halfpecans, half shreddedcoconut. Or try ¾ cupconfectioner’s sugarand ¼ cup cocoa
Store in airtight con-tainer or freeze for upto a month. Bring toroom temperature before serving.
QUiCKtips- For maximum flavour, toastpecans.- To better control the stickinessof the batter, chill for about 30minutes and lightly butter thepalms of my hands before form-ing balls.- Roll balls in white sugar, cocoapowder or chopped nuts. Tastebetter if left for a few days toallow flavours to mingle andsoften.
