Saint Cooks
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2017
Two ‘Saints’ who are celebrating the culture of St Helena Island through its food. We're cooking food, sharing recipes, and generally posting about the most delicious food in the world!
We love Saint food! The smell of a pot of Plo, or the sweet taste of a coconut finger. Food has the power to transport you to happy memories. Saints learn from each other how to cook the delicious dishes of their island community, ‘cause on St Helena we believe in feeding you until you are fill - then just a little bit more. But no recipe is final, there is no absolute version. Everyone has their own specific way of cooking their favourites. Whether it is adding a secret ingredient that your Mum used, or twigging the ingredients as they became available. St Helena has special and unique food.

St Helena Distillery - The most remote distillery in the world. Explore it with a spirit tasting.
Join us and Paul Hickling for a tasting session at the most remote distillery in the world on St Helena Island. We indulge with Tungi, White Lion Spiced Rum, Jamestown Gin and Midnight Mist Coffee Liqueur.
The only distillery within the South Atlantic Ocean, or for 1000's of miles, since 2016 Paul as the head distiller has been crafting exceptional and unique smooth spirits based on local ingredients and tastes. Using a German-made Holstein spirit distilling equipment, Paul primarily creates a selection of premium drinks known as "The spirit of the Saints" which are available to buy on St Helena Island.
These include:
Tungi
A cactus pear spirit, Tungi (pronounced Toon Gee) is a clear smooth spirit, refreshing and palatable drink full of flavour whilst retaining robust power and alcoholic strength. It is made from the prickly or cactus pears which Saints call Tungi, plants which were originally brought to the island by the colonial ivory traders from East Africa in the 1850′s. Three varieties of Tungi cactus now grow wild and organically on the dry coastal regions of the island.The spirit was first developed on St Helena as ‘prickly pear whisky’ from the 1850, but now using the most modern distilling techniques and a blend of two principal varieties of Tungi, Paul has produced the optimum flavours. Ideal for straight shot-drinking, cocktails or paired with lemonade.
White Lion Spiced Rum
White Lion Spiced Rum is an authentic homage to the favoured liquor of the Seventeenth Century sailors who first combined pure white rum and the exotic spices of the Orient with which they had become uniquely familiar. Named to commemorate the island’s celebrated ‘sunken treasure’ shipwreck, when the Dutch vessel ‘Witte Leeuw’, (White Lion) sunk in James Bay in 1613 after a brief but spectacular naval battle with the Portuguese. Sip it over ice, or best enjoyed with coke. Called a shipwreck, spiced rum and coke is a favourite on St Helena enjoyed and available across the island.
Midnight Mist Coffee Liqueur
Midnight Mist is an exquisitely smooth coffee flavour-infused liqueur. Midnight Mist Coffee Liqueur was developed exclusively on St Helena using green-tipped bourbon Arabica coffee grown with seed originally brought from the Yemen in 1733. Which is one of the best coffees in the world, and for Midnight Mist the beans are deeply dark roasted and percolated before being blended with St Helena Rum to give a unique and satisfying coffee liqueur experience.
Jamestown Gin
Experience the world's only gin crafted from rare Bermuda Juniper. Jamestown Gin embodies smoothness and subtlety, perfect for savoring neat or with a splash of tonic.Immerse yourself in the flavors of St Helena with these distinctive spirits from St Helena Distillery. Discover the spirit of this remote paradise through every sip.

What about live , work there?
I'm interested wanna visit the island, I ❤ st helena
Beautiful place.
Very nice road trip. I played it at 1/4 speed so I could follow along on the map.
❤ bought back memories of walking up head o wain from out horse pasture to catch the school bus. And always pop into the shop (matches) to pickup a loaf of bread and some sweets on the way home.
Wow, that's quite a long walk
Hey, isn’t uso appearing in Antarctica recently. May I ask if there has been any impact recently?
Love this ❤
Thankyou for your video ...brilliant 😃
Thank you 🙂
What a beautiful Island. Plan to visit soon. Please don’t let that beautiful place get destroyed by wealthy Buisiness , casino’s and huge hotels.
If the island was closer to Europe, where I live, I would be interested because it would be nearer and a lot cheaper
My mum was from St helena. Her name was Hazel Benjamin from ladder Hill. My uncle Ronald is the wiz with St helena food cooking so it's time I start making the saints food myself instead of pestering my poor uncle all the time. Good show guys x
Best London to Windhoek then to st helin
Record climb:5 min 16 sec..... Record descend if you triped:5 seconds :)
My Mum was a Saint and came to the UK in 1945. She always told us lots about the island and its features and what fun it was climbing the ladder (while feeding us kids tomato paste and boiled pudding :) Love your website too. Great soundtrack on this as well xx
Cool. I love it when people come up with new ideas dishes inspired by the local area.
This was a holiday special that my sister in law's Mom would cook for the family. They are from Puerto Rico, I miss that flavor. hmmm Thanks for the memory's.
And all the years have passed and I still can't make it as good as my mom or Granny. I am going to try the way you did it. I think it's where the peas come from?
We have both in our big New York City Walmart's in the fresh food area. Both are sold all the time and if you don't get there early. there all gone by end of day. And as a kid. the local mom and pop store all way's had both types. What a treat to eat.
Wow Would you believe that when I was a small very young kid in New York City, back in 1960's. There was this Hmmmmm fantastic thing that I can just taste right now in my mouth via my brain memory's of that time. It's just that same thing you put up in this video. No way. They came in a package of two. for 10cents USD. what a treat hmmm soft sweet filling and sticky if you took your time eating them. what a treat.
♥♥♥
Nice roads
Hi my grandfather is from ST Helena an it is great to learn about this irlend going back 200 years. He came to SA on a ship. Wow an Jacob ladder ia awesome
Very beautiful place, excellent landing video thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks for your amazing video it's really good. But please how does it cost for one person to fly from Sauth Africa to Saint Helena?
1900 gbp johnurg return ? …. Shop around can get quite a bit less with time flexibility
I'm hoping to travel and even migrate to St. Helena! I will love to contact you for travel advice, from the Caribbean. Thanks for such a helpful video
Could climb up ok but would have to come down on my ass. That was my experience climbing a Mayan Temple in Belize!
I would love to visit Saint Helena one day. I was looking into visiting the island, but it looks like visas aren’t easy to obtain for foreigners. Any suggestions? Thank you. Greetings from Canada.
Not a place I would want to go to.
I am indian
Hii
You could have got a ride to the island on a Portuguese fishing boat for $250 bucks US 99% cheaper 🙀
Hermoso lugar.
Ohhhhh so sorry to you " Be Lated Happy Birthday Saint Helena💞
Ohhhhh lovely couple you are wow
Please upload more videos, please.
Bro tell about the favorite sea food items
Heath row to Windhoek. Then to st helins
Enjoyed from Russellville,Tn.,usa
I would love to see St.Helena. I grew up on a remote island (not as remote as St.Helena)as well,it’s called Aruba 🇦🇼,in the Dutch Caribbean,near the coast of Venezuela,but with way more inhabitants (100.000).When I left the island to study in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 30 years ago,it had 60.000 inhabitants. St,Helena looks completely different and so beautiful,although the expensive supermarkets sounds very familiar,especially the fresh products. Love your video,🙏🙏❤️
I love that not bad
Very beautiful island. Keep on making more videos on this very majestic island. Hope someday I can visit this place.
Dankie. Your video was financial educational. Some yrs ago I found out that a family member was born on St. Helena Island, some Thomas Edmond Fowler, QC.(+/- 1850 - 1910?). To find info. on family-stuff is very difficult in South Africa. Fun Fact. The distance from Walvisbaai/ bay to St. Helena is about 2 400km. From Komatiepoort (South Africa's side to Mozambique) to La Reunion (Frensch island) is 2 800km.
Congrats! : )
Looks very nice!! 👍🏾
Love your videos.. I visited in 2013 on the RMS also went to Tristan both amazing islands.
I visited in 2013 via the RMS a beautiful island 🇬🇧
You guys make it look easy 😍
