Beet-dyed deviled eggs with whipped potato salad

I’m catering Austin’s VIP’s soon, and when working on the menu, I wanted to incorporate appetizers where the guests get a chance to experience flavors that are nostalgic to me, so I went with refining the presentation of childhood favorite foods. There wasn’t a party in my household without beet potato salad being part of the food line up. Served with bbq chicken, macaroni au gratin, and diri djondjon all on the same plate!? Don’t get me started! I used to live for these parties we constantly had, knowing we’d have leftovers for days. And the beet potato salad was even better the next day.

Be sure to follow so that you don't miss my reel on the process. Easy to make!

'Legim ak Krab' 🦀 but make it bite size.

A Haitian staple usually served with rice, fried plantains, and rich black bean gravy. This is a great way to showcase the amazing flavors of this hearty dish as an appetizer.

I have a cooking demo on "A Taste of Haiti" on making stuffed plantain cups, with ingredient list attached. Easy to make, try it out!

Happy International Women's Day!

Make room by shaking the room;

My dad, who has always been an advocate for women, would say to me “as a woman, you're already the most invaluable person in the room, unfortunately you have to prove it more than everyone else. Always make a memorable impact so you're not only respected, but indispensable, especially in a room where you are underrepresented”

I’m strongly considering adding Pate Kode (beef patty) to my current cook unity menu. This is one of the most popular Haitian street foods. The dough is made from scratch and the fillings are a combination of ground beef, hotdogs, bell peppers, boiled eggs, and served with pikliz. Once fried, you get a delicious crust. One bite of this will send you into food-coma.

If you’re still having soup joumou on day 9, it’s time to throw it away 😂 Partnering with CookUnity has given me a chance to share and highlight Haitian cusine in a way it has never been done before - through a nationwide meal prep service, delivered to your door. The platform encourages for us to share recipes that tell our story. Haitian Independence Day is a pivotal part of world history, and I strongly encourage you to dive in and learn more about it, which will also help you better understand how being the 1st free black country came at a cost. Nonetheless, I am so excited to bring Soup Joumou to your door! You’ll be able to enjoy this hearty soup in Atlanta, Austin, and Seattle. 2024 💫 #cookunity #haiti #haitianchef #soup #soupjoumou #2024 #mealprep #mealprepservice #cooking #hosting #recipe #eat #yummy #foodblog #foodblogger #austintexaschef #atlantachef #seattlechef

R&D day; DjonDjon Linguine with Kreyol Shrimp and Mussels - a delicious fusion of cultures on one plate. At first glance, it’s a dish that embodies simplicity, but its depth of flavor tells a different story. The foundation is perfectly cooked pasta, a canvas for the rich and vibrant Kreyol sauce. The delicacy, djondjon, is a black mushroom that grows in the northern part of Haiti. It has a distinctive, earthy aroma and it is traditionally used to make rice. I originally wanted to boil linguine in djondjon pasta water, but I wasn’t achieving the stark black color on the noodles to beautifully contrast with the brightness of the sauce. The noodles were coming out more of a dark brownish-grey. So I went with squid ink noodles. I prepped the djondjon pasta water with spices and boiled the squid ink noodles in it, and added the pasta water to the sauce to still get the essence of djondjon throughout the dish. I’m thinking of blanching sweet peas to add to the dish. But this was the first run through and it came out so good! I was really pleased with the flavor as is. Soon to be served on my @cookunity menu! - #recipedevelopment #chef #haitianchef #haitifood #haitianfood #recipediy #homecooking #recipecreation #austintexaschef #foodathome #mealprep #cookunity

From blending it for epis marinade to garnish, bell peppers are part of the root flavors in the majority of my dishes. Here’s an efficient way to julienne: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Trim both ends of the pepper Make a lengthwise slit down the pepper Lay the pepper flat, Glide your knife against the inside of the pepper to remove the core Cut the pepper in half Cut each half into julienne slices

You know that little dance you do when you know the food is about to be bomb!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me guide you on through your next 2-step and show you how to place your order on CookUnity!

For the Culture

I am Nahika Hillery, the owner of Kreyól Korner Caribbean Cuisine! I am proud to share my culture amongst Austinites as the first Haitian Caribbean Food Truck in the city. I relocated to Austin about two years ago, and realized the lack of Caribbean influence around me and most notably at a Reggae Festival at Zilker Park. Austin the vibrant capital of music and food trucks, and the only thing missing was an island flare.

Haiti is a beautiful country, yet often misrepresented in the media. It was very important for me to highlight aspects of my culture and bring something new to the demographics in Austin. If you are looking to vibe in an island ambience, and taste flavorful Haitian dishes made with fresh herbs and spices, visit Kreyol Korner. Serving great food is what we do, “It’s an Island Thing”!

We cater ALL events including company happy hours/parties, baby showers, grand openings, and weddings. Please feel free to send an email to [email protected] for additional information or questions.

Our goal is to create an incredible experience for each and every one of you who choose to dine at Kreyol Korner. It has been a humbling experience to serve you authentic Haitian food, and we thank all our lovely customers for your continuous support.
