The comments will be moderated for rude and hateful comments. Racism of any sort will not be tolerated. God bless and please be kind.

[@GigiDrummond]

Who in their right mind would say rude hateful racist things about any of these videos. I absolutely love love love her!

[@CalmCottage5]

Sadly most of the racist comments have been toward her and her daughter-in-law who is behind the camera. We had to turn off the comments on one of the videos because it got so bad. Most people are wonderful and respectful. Thank you for your kindness Gigi. God Bless you! 💖

[@marylawrence4418]

I really enjoyed this, about to make some now. Thank you

[@renaebrown2160]

It’s a shame that you have to do that! Love the videos! You just earned another subscriber. This dish unites all Caribbeans 🇻🇮

[@georgiaval1]

So sorry people are hateful when you are sharing your kitchen love. I'm a new Subbie. I love plaintain, they satisfy my sweet tooth. Much love to you from a Cousin❤

[@teejaygirl818]

Thank you "Auntie" for sharing your gift with us. I think the plantains look delicious and so inviting.

[@bonaldbonaldson5628]

This video makes me miss my grandma =( .... Amazing recipes... Selfless generosity and a family peace keeper 💖 God bless and keep up the good work.

[@takeshaanderson3530]

Me too, they're very special people that's for sure.

[@iammotley9212]

Granny's are precious 💖💗💖

[@terrealexander4442]

How many of y'all are listening to her while cooking fried plantians?

[@Rikki-D]

I'm listening, watching, cooking, & turning my Plantains so they don't burn. I'm really good at Multi-Tasking 🇯🇲😎

[@kimberly1567]

As I looked at the older used grey pot on back burner I can just imagine what all fine foods have been cooked in this pot. Respect

[@gloriamitchell3518]

Thanks for this lesson, I will prepare today.

[@princessjasmine1002]

Smelling the cinnamon and plantains while watching and cooking is so comforting 😌

[@84tahlia]

I don’t know how my greedy son ate the plantain like a banana while I was waiting for it to rippen. I’m like couldn’t you tell the difference?!?!?

[@sweetiejay948]

Omg that just made my day 😂😂

[@p.reneeblue7799]

[@albertgarcia5411]

Thanks for this, I like how the video also feels like a documentary, make me miss my grandma in a good way.

[@joyce-vd3pn]

Love her!…haven’t seen any new videos lately. I bought my Le Creuset pots because of this sweet lady. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 pray that all is well. Miss her voice and recipes.

[@chickennugget6233]

I love just watching relatives cook. Makes it feel like home. Much better than watching a formal cooking channel. You get age old tips, and you have to watch if you want to learn. Thank you Auntie!

[@CalmCottage5]

We feel the same way Carolina. Thanks for taking the time to spread kindness. Have a blessed day.

[@touchelawson7858]

I cut up 3 plantain bananas today and used your recipe.. OMG, I tried to eat them all!! I have cooked them before but I never used cinnamon... What a mistake! Oh thank you so much🙌😘🙌😘🙌😘

[@CalmCottage5]

Hi Touché Lawson, we’re happy you enjoyed mom’s special touch to plantains. It makes them extra delicious. Have a blessed day! 💗

[@j3culture246]

This is one unified dish in the Caribbean! FRIED PLANTAINS “plantanos”!! 🇵🇷

[@CalmCottage5]

We love them! God bless.

[@j3culture246]

Our Family Pantry oh yes and God bless you as well; stay safe during these times

[@kevinmayes1363]

I loved the session. Bought some yesterday. Waiting for them to get a little more ripe. One thing mama. I don't want you leaning on the stove, that's dangerous.. lol..

[@phyllismoore4378]

That is so sweet of you!

[@alyssasherie7747]

This lady deserves a lot more likes

[@torreb3107]

The plantains look so good , I thank you for sharing how you cook them .

[@ShawnPlusOne]

Rest in paradise pretty lady you will be missed I was so happy to see this video today. ❤️🙏🏾

[@kadejawarfield8935]

Where is the evidence??? Im in disbelief. I just started watching her show. So sad

[@ShawnPlusOne]

@@kadejawarfield8935 Her son made a video try watching his video where he made plantains I think he mentions it in that one too. But I’ll try to find it for you if it’s still up but yes this sweet woman has passed away.

[@ShawnPlusOne]

@@kadejawarfield8935 it’s on the video Jamaican Ackee and salt fish | in loving memory of our mother and grandmother. Take care.

[@patriciayasenchok6289]

These look delicious. I love your patience on teaching us . I’m so happy now I can try it on my own.

[@mignonwaller6568]

Blessed are the hands that bring us good things. Thank you 🙏🌺🙏

[@hillaryburdick9313]

I love this! I just started using plantains in my cooking and am so thankful for videos like this that give such insightful and helpful instructions. 👍

[@catherinemeans1408]

I love to try different types of food. I will try to do this myself. I have eaten Plantains before, but I have never prepared them myself. This was easy enough I think I can do this. Thank you for sharing.

[@SteviReeves]

Thank you. This was so relaxing to watch. Looks so delicious too.

[@johnnyc3184]

Mmm i Love Warm Sweet Plantains with Ice Cream...

[@CalmCottage5]

We will have to try that combo. We love our sweet cornbread recipe with vanilla ice cream so I’m taking your recommendation. Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day 💗

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Reminds me of my Guyanese granny. God rest her soul. Imma go call my momma now!😭

[@matthewirwin950]

[@dinamac01]

[@servicedogsgonewild7670]

Oh my gosh thank you so much these are amazing

[@Greg5121]

Thanks for being so detailed.

[@margaretphenicie4522]

I ground up some cinnamon sticks in my bullet blender with the coffee grinder blade for my plantain. I bought some South American ones the other day. Tasted good!

[@GabrielSavala-pd7qx]

I gotta work at a place that makes this. Wish my luck and thanks for the advice mama 🙏 ❤

[@Jayvee444]

God bless this sweet grandmama 💕🥺

[@jamesfreeman7709]

Thank you for using cast iron, and this is the same way I check for the pan to make sure it is hot enough! I will have to try with the cinnamon, tonight I fried in butter and drizzled Maple syrup on them when they were put in the bowl. Yummy!

[@CalmCottage5]

That sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing.

[@twooda1]

This looks incredible. I'm going to try this out. Thanks for posting.

[@smileawhile3788]

I watched several videos before cooking my first plantain. This was the first I saw that used cinnamon. So I tried it both ways. The cinnamon made them extra yummy! Thank you so much for sharing !

[@CalmCottage5]

Thanks for watching! We’re so glad you enjoyed the plantains using our recipe. We agree, the cinnamon takes it to the next level! Have a blessed day! 💗

[@thomasmoorcroft8036]

Thank you lovely lady .

[@CalmCottage5]

Ebony M I’ve got some in my counter and was thinking the same thing. We’re going to be eating good this evening. 😋 God bless and have a wonderful day.

[@marlenehellmann7458]

My son in law from Haiti fixes them for me. They are good. Thank you for showing us your recipes. Yummmm!

[@hippiesoul2987]

Thank you for sharing. I received Plantains instead of bananas from Instacart. Came here to learn about them and stumbled upon this page. Thank you to your grandma for explaining how to cook them and for explaining when they are ripe. I was making them as she cooked them. All of her tips helped!

[@CalmCottage5]

Thanks for reporting back on how your turned out. Mom is wonderful with how she softly explains things. Have a blessed day!

[@brownsuga1107ify]

Love her

[@savannah.oueijan]

Just watched this video with my husband and can’t wait to use your recipe to cook our big bananas! Thank you for being such a positive light on KZbin and teaching us some delicious recipes! ❤️✨ Can’t wait for the next videos!

[@CalmCottage5]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Bless you and I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. We will be making more this week. Our next one to be posted will be for Oxtail. Thank you for watching, have a wonderful day.

[@nicolelmn4126]

Thank You for this video! This will be my 1st time making fried plantains. Looks simple enough!

[@ursulajackson7667]

This is what I was looking for!!!!

[@princekenney08]

My favorite thing plantains 🇹🇹

[@islandgirl3330]

Just found yourJamaican channel. Thanks for teaching your cuisine to the world. I have never put anything on fried plantains. I will try the cinnamon to see how it tastes. I always serve fried plantains when I have people over for dinner. I sometimes boil the plantains when they are firm but not too ripe. At least that is how we cook them. I don't know if she mentioned that you have to fry the bananas when they are very ripe. Thanks for the video.

[@Rikki-D]

I'm from the States & I LOVE Caribbean Ital. My Plantains came out perfect, soft, just the way I like them! I like them fried like Potato Chips too. Cooking it in Olive Oil was good because Olive Oil is very nutritionally,, does not require very high heat. I noticed the Interviewer never asked her about the nutritional value of eating Plantains. They are full of Fiber to help in moving your Bowels, Vitamins: A, B & C & full of Potassium. I will be having my Plantains with some Ackee, Jerk Beef Ribs, Jerk Chicken Wings & Smoked Grilled Crab Legs that I cooked up. I give Thanks to you for you sharing your Recipe👊🏿👍🏾

[@user-tq4ij4xm1m]

Looks delicious

[@andromedasmoons3647]

He said they looked riper than the other bananas 😂 So now I'm searching for Plantain recipes so these don't go to waste. Never had them but they look delicious

[@patygonzalez6984]
