[@trinifooddesigner-arlene4642]

Aww. Thanks

[@bibimohamed3179]

@@trinifooddesigner-arlene4642 hi Arlene so good to see to I was thinking about you. Hope business is back to normal and you are healthy. Watching from Queens NYC hope to meet you some day. And I was laughing when you friend heard you used the term " corned the food" we use the item in Guyana too.

[@v.t.8752]

In Ghana 🇬🇭 this is banku. I couldn't figure out why it tasted familiar when I went to Ghana. I asked for the ingredients and it was okra, corn 🌽 meal and fish on the side. Just like in Barbados 🇧🇧!

[@helenadirijal]

Yes this is an African dish that was brought to the Caribbean

[@eilola6467]

Yes yes we do it with a stew/ steam fish on the side, 🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@RusselRamnaryne-jz6cq]

Girls,, this is from one of the most bitter guys around,,,,, l don't like anybody,, but now you have attacked and brought back some love to me,,, l love the vibe of this video so much, I'm going in to try now. ❤ Love Russel 😊

[@patasonbrooks7057]

[@bettysolomon910]

As a fellow Gonian young lady you have been taught well keep up the great work

[@tanisharichardson2817]

I love her...so well spoken ..please do more videos with her.

[@lystrajbishop982]

Just learned how to make coo coo Tobago style. Easier than the way my mom made it. I like that you added shredded carrots and coconut milk. Will definitely try it this weekend.

[@DarthBalsamic]

Boy, if/when a young guy like myself gets married, and I decide to get married in Trinidad, I know who to call for catering now. Hopefully my family, who are from there, are not too upset. Lol I love coo coo by the way. Grew up on it. Great video.

[@charlenejsoseph6540]

I tried this recipe today and it came out perfect. Thank you. My other failed attempts either saw the coo coo too raw or lumpy. Can Arlene return and show us how to make callaloo?

[@reyleneragbarxdz4953]

The presentation is amazing. I love Arlene vibes.

[@suzettethompson7443]

Give Thanks Empress love the presentation. Guidance and Divine Protection.🙏🏿👸🏿🦋🕯️

[@lydiaaziz7617]

[@rosroe]

Awesome final product. This is my "go to" recipe video Thank you!

[@MrJLucillio]

Definitely love the way in which these dishes are made. I tried the char sui pork recently from a previous video and it was great. Keep up the good work.

[@patriciaraeburn935]

Show the recipe please.

[@paradiselivinginpurpose]

*looks for char sui pork video*

[@jilleneamow1496]

I've never seen Arlene before, but she is an absolute delight❤

[@karenacharles4167]

I made it! Thank you very much ladies! I did 10 stirs after the breathing 😊

[@vivianjob2612]

That’s a great idea, to add the water to the cornmeal first before adding to the heat. This helped a lot.

[@devatafari1660]

I'm going to try this method.. I could never get coo coo right... lol

[@mchase940]

That way you don't get lumps in it!

[@sharonkhanmaharaj3668]

Lovely ...love it with calaloo and fish.

[@Chula92]

Love the chemistry you gyuls are awesome 🤩

[@wendyramkissoon2017]

[@angeniesookram-bahadoor2230]

I want to make this coo coo Sunday with my grandmother and yours is the best ever

[@kristysamlalsingh7802]

The first time I made coo coo it was a dry mess, thank you so much for sharing your recipe it came out so good this time

[@indrasamlal8109]

Great recipe 👌..I made it today with stewed fish and it was delish!😋

[@ingridrobertson9317]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I haven’t made this in a while and I will be making this sometime this week, the steps are so easily demonstrated.

[@lilynelson1627]

Ok! well someone does it like me adding water to the cornmeal🤦‍♀️, my mom stirs it directly in and get it smooth, no lumps ,kizzy's laughing is infectious 🤣😍😍👏👍🏽noice job foodie nation.

[@karminiparsan4440]

Me too..it gets lumpy if I add it directly to the hot mixture

[@ashyelbos]

Great job ladies, intelligent, beautiful and classy...very refreshing to see

[@MsCHICA102]

You had me up to mixing the corn meal mixture, I’m going to definitely try this method out. Thanks.

[@CindyduPlessis]

Thanks for this recipe, I just made it (with some modifications to substitute ingredients I don't have). Where I live the corn meal is white, and you have to buy polenta if you want yellow corn meal, so I used what I had... and also I didn't have pimentos (not even sure I know what that is - the stuff inside stuffed olives?) so I used red sweet peppers instead. I didn't have coconut milk, just a tin of coconut cream, so I used that can and just added 'n 3rd tin of water to the mix to make it more milk like. I added garlic and some chilli salt for a little bite and I must say it looks and smells beautiful. I'm going to serve it up with the "braai" aka BBQ we are having later today and I might make a tomato relish sauce to dip the coo coo in, or I might just eat it as is with the meat. I'm so glad I finally know what to do with the okra I get at the shops and then throw away when they go bad. This is so easy and fits right in to our regular meals... It's going to be delish!

[@jennyalmarales2890]

I enjoyed this made it I’m from Trinidad my brother in law is from Tobago I’m going to surprise him 👌❤️I’m in NY

[@karminiparsan4440]

BEAUTIFUL coocoo/coucou (both spelling is correct) I can eat it any way with anything..even by itself👌👌the colour and texture is perfect👍👍

[@nyashaphillips5100]

A hundred more stirs. Lol!!!!! I just love how she said that & then laughed at the end

[@narissastapleton4489]

[@changethenarrative101]

Hello, so I am a Trini living in the UK. Want to make some for the family during the holidays but here the cornmeal is fine, medium, or course. Not sure which one to use. Can you guys help?

[@lynettebailey5128]

This is THE BEST way of showing a video. Thank you.

[@theresanichols5556]

In Jamaica we call it tun cornmeal.

[@Barry_TopG]

So good with callaloo and stew fish

[@CharlesAtkins14]

In Barbados it's only spelt Cou-Cou and we have been stirring it with an electric hand blender for a while now.

[@nicoleedwards721]

Love this method, I am so excited to try it

[@Rosejazjai]

My 2cents on the Corn Cou Cou spelling is has follows, it's spelt with the 'U' because our French influence cou by itself in French means neck but together cou cou is also a way of saying 'hello.' This dish is yellow, vibrant, speckled with many bright colours and coupled with the taste...it is definitely saying 'Hello!".

[@wesornaitit]

Such a lovely explanation. Coucou! :)

[@rivelinophillip3074]

O gorm alyuh make meh wanna go buy corn meal fish callaloo and mnms 😋

[@BettyFL]

Coo coo is coo coo to me, too. I'm a Trini but would recognize cou cou to mean the same thing.

[@stephaniegreene539]

Hello kessieann and Arlene, Coo-coo looks amazing, what is that at the end of the skewer? love from Georgetown Guyana 🇬🇾🤗👏🌹

[@mandyramsubhag8871]

It looks like M&M candy

[@curtisthomas2670]

It's part of the skewer, to give a little grip

[@vanellacastle5240]

Imma try it can’t wait

[@dunoripavalan1980]

Looks beautiful especially the plating at the end. I think sometimes the coo coo texture turns out different depending on if you use fine or course grain cornmeal.

[@indraramjit3737]

Looks very delicious

[@lindyanngittens4442]

Trying it this way today

[@nikkilewis3570]

Very simple! Thanks!!

[@BerryPink253]

Coo coo I love you!👧🌸🌸🌸

[@MollyRamdeo]

Ofc yes it depends on the grade of cornmeal u uses 😋😋😋😋

[@magnoliabeauty2954]

Arlene is a boss

[@seanharrilal572]

[@jotiannking2600]

Can Arlene come back to make some crab? *My mouth start to water already*

[@indraramjit3737]

Delicious yummy

[@ruthnettles1677]

Well I guess this is the modern way,because in my day,my Mom used to stir it in little by little,while stirring...you never too young to learn 🤔

[@verneeldh5007]

We normally spell it Cou Cou here in Grenada
