Sundays in Tobago are usually reserved for church or a relaxing day at the beach. But there is another Sunday tradition which might entice food lovers.
Snuggled at the bottom of the hill in L’Anse Fourmi lies a huge dirt oven run by 49-year-old Earl Manswell.
The oven, which was built by members of the community, churns out wholewheat and pumpkin bread, coconut drops, cakes and other baked goods. The bread is made by Manswell and his wife Judy, with assistance from their 14-year-old son Matthew.
