Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for watching this video. When this video was created almost 4 years ago at the time of me writing this... i never expected it to get as much traction on youtube as it has. So here are a few things to consider before watching this video : 1. This is how *WE* make it in our family 2. This video was created for my *OWN* memory to look back on, it wasn't created with the intention of it being a resource for others... so YES there will be some banter between me and my family... and i love that i will be able to forever look back on these moments. 3. Not all Guyanese people look the same, talk the same, or cook the same. So although *YOU* may do things differently, that does not mean that this is any more... or any less guyanese. 4. To everyone who has enjoyed this video, to everyone who has left respectful comments... thank you for doing as such. 5. If you are watching this video and you have a recipe you would love for me to learn and recreate, i would love for you to email it over to contact@thedailydavies.co.uk.... As a 1st generation Canadian... Now living in the UK, i would love to learn more west indian recipes, therefore my inbox is open to new recipes ( and learning * so please bare with me) With saying all of that, i hope you are all well, and i hope you enjoy this video. Best wishes, Nicole
As a Guyanese born native I enjoy This program of the unique food made original there and of which I Remember as a young boy living in Guyana. As a Portuguese descendant your program brings back happy memories although I haven't enjoyed Guyanese meals for A very long this makes me hungry Keep up the good work thanks
Great recipe. I use either pigeon pease or black eye pease and my cook-up must include stewing beef, salt beef, pig tails, smoked turkey bottoms & dried shrimps. I grow fine & broad leaf time.
Much love to your aunty she is awesome. I can remember my mother used salt beef and pigtail with black eye peas and coconut milk and all kinda seasoning would be launched into that pot with it. Nowadays I add pigeon peas when i make it. Thanks for sharing i really enjoyed watching. guess what i just decided we eating tomorrow lol
My Guyanese mother taught me to make it with pidgeon peas and yes...chicken. My uncle (her brother)puts ground beef as well as the other cuts. Love how your Guyanese accent comes out in your conversations with your Auntie. I can relate. Looks delish...wish I could do a taste test...lol
Thanks for sharing I am making this this weekend.I am a Guyanese too!!!I enjoy watching you and your auntie cooking videos! Encourage her to share more videos please.😘
I do relate to your thoughts in cooking using the original stuff but certain countries don't provide the fresh ingredients so they are making the best of what they have. Personally, I love the natural origin ingredients. Never the less, I enjoyed looking at how others cook .I do love cooking too.
"..put it away.." . Don't you mean "put it up"...lol. Love watching you. Thx We put ground meat and chicken..or like your auntie pressured cooked meat, pig tail and chicken. Thx for this. My mom passed away and I am trying to remember how she cooked it...lol.. which as you said is a bit different from your auntie. My mouth is watering.
lloyd mitchell says this is a national dish well explained by an expert the wide variety of meats legumes and seasoning and the creativity makes it impossible to find the same somewhere else. the beans and peas are left soaking overnight the same goes for dried shrimp, salt fish dried meats. this probably could be the best cookup rice ever
Hi. Nichol our Guyanese put everything in our cook up. Like salt beef, chicken every part of the chicken, pork , pig tale, fresh beef, when I say every part of the chicken I meant the foot, wings, neck, breast ,back legs, trips and lots more. I fried up my rice first before adding my milk going good so far.
I not only use chicken, sometimes i make salt fish or smoked fish and i have also made cook up with dried shrimp... hey its called cook-up, you can make it with anything.. I was in berbice once, and my friend even put provision in the cook-up.
I like all the pickled meats in my cook-up rice and still i have to see fried fish on top and my fried ripe plantain. Anyhow your aunt cook looks delish.
Hi! I have been enjoying your videos. Reminds me of when we lived in Canada. I love Palau (I'm a Trini). At our house we make it either vegetarian or with chicken/pork. If vegetarian, we make tomatoes choka or have a good salad on the side. The cook up made with dhal (split peas) we call kichoree. It is a vegetarian dish. When we use meat, We season with a different blend of green seasonings (French and fine/Portuguese/Spanish thyme, Chadon Beni, chive, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic and ginger). Each Trini makes there Palau different also. By us, We stew the meat in caramelized (brown) sugar then add the other ingredients. In addition to pigeon peas/black eye beans my mom adds diced carrots and celery. Coconut milk is a must have (freshly grated from the backyard is the best!) And we like to add the 'creole flavour' which is the red butter when we add the liquids (water/broth + c. Milk).
How about a Guyanese style fried rice next aunty. We make ours almost the exact same way. We use chicken maggi cubes, and plain water, which is the same as the stock and the soup mix. We sometimes add spinach, with either fried fish/fried plantains/ casreeped chicken on the side.
I put fresh beef ,pigtail ,chicken ,and salted beef ...I only use real coconut milk ,not tin ones ,most times I do black eye ,red peas and Channa .....And fried fish to go with it.Your aunts own looks good though.✌️👏👊🏻😄😄😄😄😄👋🏻👋🏻
Yea in Guyana we used the grated coconut and squeezed for milk. We used to pressure our peas but due to our busy lives we take short cuts and use can coconut milk and can peas.
Please don't take it to an offense and its not my intention but your aunty looks either half Portuguese or amerindian guyanese. She's a very beautiful delightful woman and so are you. 🙂
First of all Guyana lies right next door to Brazil which is a portuguese country and many brazillians intermix with the guyanese east Indian and african populations as well as the native amerindian which results in alot of mixed raced people. My cousins gf who is guyanese is of mixed indian,indigenous and portuguese so itself not uncommon and im not trying to offend.
Yeah I don't know why she has to beat the crap out of the pots. Maybe that's why she's the best cook in the family. I don't get salted beef in the UAE so I use smoked ham only because it is salty. If I plan my cookup rice day properly, I usually cure my own salted beef. It takes about 10 days to cure. Good job. I use blackeye peas, split peas, red beans or spinach. All tasty.
At 12:20 that clear Jar she had with the goose on it... What did she say that was? "French onion"? Edit: ok think its the onion soup...right? Looks so good definitely trying this.
Yes it is powdered French onion soup mix - sometimes you get it in the bulk section in the grocery or in the Lipton soup box. It makes a great flavor - I add it to most meats as well

Love this! Most Guyanese say "every Guyanese does it differently!" I will use chicken as I do not eat red meat. Thank you for sharing...

I'm a country girl, Guyanese of course. Real cookup must have everything original. No broth, no can, no boxes. Fresher the better.

Much love for my Guyanese people my name is Danny
I definitely put chicken in it. But this way looks awesome too. I also us salt pork instead of beef. :-)
Yea any meat can be cooked - just season and brown the meat first. My mom used to put various meats but I select the meat that my kids like
I have made cookup using this recipe and it’s the most tasty cookup ever! Way to go - the outcome we want is for it to taste great and this does it :)
Glad you love this recipe ;)
Big up Guyanese Style

Beautifully done,you make it the way I ❤️ it and that is a G/T cooking seasoning everything love all my people 🙏

I subbed because your Aunty can cook really well
Am learning to cook thanks guy's
Yay, glad to hear it !
My dad's from Guyana so he's Guyanese and we love cook up rice can you make bakes one time on your Channel
We did make bakes !
We make ours with more coconut milk, chicken, pig tail & sometimes a lil beef
Ohh that sounds nice !
Nicole? Please ask your awesome Aunty to show us how to make black/white pudding rice.
Next time i return to Canada, i will definitely ask them to show me how to make black pudding. My husband loves it!
She is correct when you are cooking chicken cook up you fry up the chicken with the other ingredients until brown where you get a nice flavor.
You can put fish or chicken lamb or goat in cook up rich and anything kind of beers and and you can cook cook up rice in a pressure pot
Will have to try something different next time x
How about a Guyanese style fried rice next aunty. We make ours almost the exact same way. We use chicken maggi cubes, and plain water, which is the same as the stock and the soup mix. We sometimes add spinach, with either fried fish/fried plantains/ casreeped chicken on the side.
I need some of that cook up my mom was mixed with Portuguese she cook it that way too lol 😂
I put fresh beef ,pigtail ,chicken ,and salted beef ...I only use real coconut milk ,not tin ones ,most times I do black eye ,red peas and Channa .....And fried fish to go with it.Your aunts own looks good though.✌️👏👊🏻😄😄😄😄😄👋🏻👋🏻
I alway put a pack of chicken noodles soup inside too ....Of course I do all the seasonings too .
The meat has to fry down and carmelized to give ultimate flavor.
Thanks for sharing x
Fresh basil is a good alternative to married-man-pork.
Great to know, thank you !
Are you in Canada Auntie? Where do you buy that salt beef from?
She is in Canada =)
Great job
Guyanese of course here.
Use fresh peas no can stuff👍
Thanks for the tip!
I only cook cook-up rice with beef, I use both black eye peas and Pigeons peas and callaloo/spinach. I also use abt 1-2 tbpns of cassareep.
MissesMouse OK sounds good to me
I use salted beef and pickled pork and sometimes pig tail but i dislike it with chicken.
Thanks for sharing x
I always cook mines with chicken and way more fresh coconut milk and fresh pease but urs are pretty good too
Yea in Guyana we used the grated coconut and squeezed for milk. We used to pressure our peas but due to our busy lives we take short cuts and use can coconut milk and can peas.
Vincy🇻🇨 put chicken n peas
Amazing
I’m learning from you guys
Glad to hear
Please don't take it to an offense and its not my intention but your aunty looks either half Portuguese or amerindian guyanese. She's a very beautiful delightful woman and so are you. 🙂
How can you tell if someone is Portuguese Guyanese? And have you ever met any Portuguese in Guyana?
You is racial bana.
First of all Guyana lies right next door to Brazil which is a portuguese country and many brazillians intermix with the guyanese east Indian and african populations as well as the native amerindian which results in alot of mixed raced people. My cousins gf who is guyanese is of mixed indian,indigenous and portuguese so itself not uncommon and im not trying to offend.
She is Portuguese.
I like it with corned mutton and dry shrimp
Ohhhh I never had it like that !
Yeah I don't know why she has to beat the crap out of the pots. Maybe that's why she's the best cook in the family. I don't get salted beef in the UAE so I use smoked ham only because it is salty. If I plan my cookup rice day properly, I usually cure my own salted beef. It takes about 10 days to cure. Good job. I use blackeye peas, split peas, red beans or spinach. All tasty.
Where you guys live? No westindian store around ?
This was filmed in edmonton Alberta Canada - but I now live in Bristol .
I did have some when I visited Guyana. Completely different from how we make it in Trinidad.
Glad you enjoyed x

We want you to cook one of these day not with your aunt …ha-ha
Confusing don’t know what aunty is doing why can’t she use fresh ingredients too much talking
Sorry we don't have studio quality in our home and you didn't enjoy it. I pray that you find a video more useful

Pressco
