Sancoche Sancoche is a cooking and lifestyle television series, hosted by Mariel Brown. In Trinidad, a sancoche is a kind of soup that families make at the end of the week when all that remains in the fridge are left-overs. So the soup becomes a delicious combination of surprising and unexpected ingredients. The show is suffused with laughter and joy, and touches on inspiration that can start out as simple as a mushroom omelette, and end up in paroxysms of pavlova glee!
