Becky Alexander Sonia McDonnell runs Mama Cynth's Yard Food. - Credit: Sonia McDonnell It has been a complete treat to have meals delivered to the house during this past year or so, especially when it is food I don’t know how to cook. This week I want to tell you about Mama Cynth’s Yard Food, aka Sonia McDonnell. As the chances of any of us going to Jamaica seems remote at the moment, I can heartily recommend Sonia’s home cooking instead. You might recognise Sonia from the farmers' market stall that she ran for many years, which specialised in Caribbean-inspired cakes, chutneys and sauces. I have had delicious bakes from her over the years, including her vegan patties, which are hand-size pastries filled with vegetables and curry powder.
