Cheffe Leen! A name that’s been making the rounds on social media in recent weeks! And for good reason: the Haitian chef represented Haïti in the Guinness World Records in an extraordinary culinary competition. This challenge consisted of cooking for eight days non-stop, a bold way to showcase the richness of Haitian cuisine. It was in France, more precisely at the Anba Le Pont restaurant, located in Saint-Denis, that Leen Excellent embarked on this exceptional adventure. Starting on Monday, April 7, 2025, she cooked non-stop for nine consecutive days, totaling 187 hours of actual cooking time (after deducting statutory breaks). A historic achievement, combining endurance, passion, and cultural pride. So, if you were Chef Leen, what would be the first dish you would cook to represent Haitian cuisine to the world? The Haïti Wonderland editorial team asked a few readers this question: some readily answered white rice with pea and vegetable sauce, which they call GOAT. Others opted for a good lalo, a tasty pye kochon stew, a good tchaka, or even the famous morning rice. Given this diversity, I’ve chosen to present each dish mentioned in the survey over the weeks.
The Haitian carnival, an emblematic and essential celebration of the country’s festive calendar, is much more than a simple party. It embodies the very essence of Haitian culture, joyfully blending ancestral traditions, intoxicating music and a deep sense of community. Each year, this vibrant celebration transforms the streets into a vibrant and colorful spectacle, attracting thousands of participants and spectators eager to take part in this one-of-a-kind celebration. Haitian carnival has deep roots in the country’s history, dating back to colonial times. It has evolved over the centuries, incorporating elements of African, French and Creole culture to create a distinct and captivating celebration. The carnival period in Haïti traditionally begins in January and culminates with extravagant festivities that take place over several days. One of the most striking features of the Haitian carnival is the profusion of colors. Traditional costumes, called "masks", are elaborate and beautifully designed. They feature vivid patterns and vibrant decorations, creating a vivid picture of Haitian cultural identity. Participants, dressed in these elaborate costumes, parade through the streets to the sound of lively music, creating an electric atmosphere. Music is at the heart of the Haitian carnival. The captivating rhythms of compass, rasin, rara and other local musical genres resonate throughout the city, inviting people to dance to the rhythm of the party. Orchestras parade through the streets, accompanying the dancers and creating a unique symbiosis between the music and the graceful movements of the participants. The Haitian carnival parade is not just about the music and costumes; it also celebrates the richness of street arts. Talented artists create giant sculptures, art installations and theatrical performances that tell deep stories of Haitian history and culture. These artistic expressions contribute to the transmission of values and stories that shape the identity of the Haitian people.
