Haitian Cuisine: The Delights of Corn, Let’s Savor This Culinary Treasure!

There’s no accounting for taste! For some, the go-to dish remains a good rice accompanied by pea sauce and vegetables, while for others, corn is king, in all its forms. In this article from Haïti Wonderland, we’ll explore five ways to enjoy ground corn.

To start the week off right, many gourmands enjoy a dish of white corn, often garnished with vegetables such as spinach or tomatoes. This colorful and tasty mix allows you to start Monday morning on a delicious note.


Others find happiness in a dish of corn accompanied by pea sauce and vegetables, ideal after a long day of school or work. It’s a real comfort that brings satisfaction and energy.

And what about corn served with red beans and a good stew? It’s the perfect dish for a Saturday, a real pick-me-up after a difficult week.

And here, we move on to the most copious for some: corn with djondjon and fish sauce! This accompaniment adds an umami touch for fans of good food!

And to top it all off, although rare or reserved for big celebrations, corn à la bonne femme never fails to make us salivate! It is simply a complete dish!

Whether as a main course or otherwise, corn invites itself onto our plates with happiness and creativity.

Pap Jazz 2025, a Celebration of Haiti’s Great Musical Richness

On Sunday, April 6, 2025, the Karibe Convention Center in Juvenat transformed into a true cultural temple to close the 18th edition of the Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival (PAPJAZZ). This year, the festival took place under the evocative theme "PAP JAZZ it UP", and it was held in three sites primarily located in the Pétion-Ville commune. The festival took place entirely at these wonderful musical venues: a reference was made to the Latin Quarter, the Haiti-Brazil Cultural Center, and the Karibe Hotel. Due to the deteriorating situation in downtown Port-au-Prince in recent times, the French Institute site had to be abandoned by the festival organizers. Nevertheless, we can absolutely call this 18th edition of Pap Jazz a success. Indeed, this festival, now a major event of the Haitian year, was especially marked this year by the great resilience and determination of the organizers who were able to adapt to the country’s rhythm in order to satisfy their loyal festival-goers. Despite the difficult context, these festival-goers did not miss the opportunity to escape their harsh daily lives through music. It’s also important to note that this 18th edition of Pap Jazz took place after two postponements, at the very beginning of this year, with the last one occurring in March due to insecurity. In this regard, it is appropriate to call the monumental achievement of the Haïti Jazz Foundation and their partners an exceptional feat, as they were not discouraged and showed remarkable tenacity, while adapting to offer Port-au-Prince and its surroundings this moment of growth, beyond the city’s great sorrow, through music.
