[@jacintacherop2854]

So yummy👌😋😋.where did you buy the pot i am in love with

[@chefdwainaina]

You can check in your local kitchen suppliess, mine i got from my local Home Goods store.

[@ericoron6162]

Why do you prefer to use cinnamon cardamom and cloves in whole and not ground form?

[@chefdwainaina]

The classic pilau recipes always call for both ground and whole spices, but you can definitely use just ground spices. The whole spices give the dish that look of rustic and home cooked.

[@elizabeththananga3623]

Waoooh chef.

[@annekimani7084]

what pan brand is that ?

[@brayankungu8963]

oh chef Wainaina i like watching your video, but stop with the fake accent ,please don't take this personal

[@heatherwanjuguna4629]

Hey. He must have lived in the US a while and acquired it. It is not fake. We are our environment.

[@aunties5798]

Please reserve your comments and instead compliment Chef.

[@elizabethkarura5989]

I think the accent is important coz of foreigners..I like it,,I wish the Nigerian could also buy this coz I struggle to grasp their accent

[@favouredone622]

Enemies are everywhere...they will never appreciate someone for doing what is good.
