I like that the focus is fresh ingredients instead of these chemicals people are calling spices.

[@vanessaahyew7950]

Focus more on shoeing visual on ingredients

[@eatahfood]

Asmaa Ataout you most certainly can!

[@jeffe9117]

Dont boil pigtail for 12 to 15 mins ppl 🤣

[@sosaruhinda2615]

Your a pretty girl renee😘

[@Reza-1223]

I have to research this after watching this video because as far as I know 99.9% of people would wash rice before cooking it. Especially West Indians ( Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and the rest of the Caribbean). Below is what I have found when researching parboiled rice. Shocking, but then again not so surprising because its not a West Indian that did the research and published the article. However, this chef should follow our rules of thumb and was the darn rice. "As a rule of thumb, all non-converted (regular, not parboiled rice) varieties of rice should be washed before cooking. Mauer suggests rinsing until the water runs clear and the rice is rid of excess starch. Converted rice (parboiled rice), however, should not be rinsed.Aug 6, 2014. "

[@anyib.3150]

Miss you didn’t wash yuh rice!!

[@westwardpomonagyrl4358]

Paul Yuh Muddah Come Everybody doesn’t rinse their,that starch can be left on the rice. Cooks just the same, just make sure u wash your rice Chile

[@emilieroberts]

I like chicken in mine's

[@talljib]

so i take it that the pigtail wasn't salted?

[@debbiecastillo5438]

talljib it was salted but when you boil it in water as she did in the beginning of the video it removes a lot of the salt

[@kyleboodoo2501]

You real like your belly too ino Renee lol

[@ornestasmall6406]

Ok I like mine spicybye

[@ayawarner5978]

[@angellcateau6098]

Pimento is flavor...not spicy. But i know some pple sell us hot pimentoes sigh.

[@neomihinds5328]

You need to boil out the salt for a while not for fifteen minutes you are very young.

[@primroserosemary8862]

I've never had orcho rice and I'm a born trini...living here..I think it would be to slimy

[@spanishDoll1]

Make it vegetarian

[@monisamontoya401]

Love the recipes however the camera is mostly on the cooks face rather than what she is doing.
