Not only are you such a great cook/chef but you are so good at teaching. Everything you do you explain
Thank you so much 🙂
Them pots look like love for years....
Every time I watch your videos, I want to run to the market to get my ingredients. Thank you. Great instruction Sis!
Whenever my grandmother would make this dish she would serve rice or dumplings. I would literally be circling the pot waiting for it to be finished. Thank you for speaking on the saltfish to ackee ratio and proportion. It's very important. Thank you so much. This is comfort food for me.
Ms. Keysha Wineglass Yesss! Having enough fish is a must. Ratio is important in all dishes.
I've been hooked on this channel since I've found it. You really can cook
wOW thank you THANK YOU so very much
Right, SAME...!!!!! ❣️🤗👍🏽

I love how clear and detailed she is when explaining how to cook... well done!!!
agree!
She repeats herself too much she is annoying. I am gonna ty her recipe though foe the first time today am gonna make Acker and salt fish
I watched this video and cooked ackee and saltfish for the first time for bae and he thinks I’m the best chef ever! You’re detailed and real and your steps are easy to follow... you will forever be in my kitchen ... with your authentic Jamaican style
I agree no tomato.
@@sophiao5855 so get off if u have problem. I love every minute. There are many other cooking channel.
So mouthwatering. There is no other dish like ackee and saltfish. It is as unique as the awesome country it represents 🇯🇲. One Love ❤.
I typically don’t fry my salt fish but I see why I should. Everything you say n do makes all the difference. Thank you!! 🙏🙏
I've been watching your channel for nearly a year I think. You are the most authentic Jamaican cook i have seen so far. I had some fresh ackee in my freezer for over a year and a half. I didn't know how they were going to taste. I followed your directions to the tee and my ackee and saltfish came out absolutely delicious! Thank you for the clear instructions. Also I was going to add fresh tomatoes but didn't because you discouraged it. I'm glad I didn't add them. Thank you again!!👍🏽👊🏽
OH yes happy friday
I love ur style of cooking and explanation during the process. I felt like I was sitting right in your kitchen.. keep the videos coming 🤗
And that's another reason why I love watching your videos... Giving us some REAL information as opposed to all of the misinformation that's floating around on here... Looking good, I'm hungry now, lol ;)
arite mi likkle bredda spreading the love as always bless
I LOVE the video! I been cooking a very long time and had forgotten all about this dish! When I was a child I burnt out 4 easy bake ovens, I had cooking fever so bad! I got my first dishes and cooking set at 5 months of age from my Uncle Pearson! He knew what to by me. It got so bad, that my Mom called my grandmother, who said put her in a chair and put her to the stove, that is how young I was! I enjoyed your video so much. My father's grandmother was from the Dutch West Indies and taught my grandmother recipes she was (Blackfoot Indian) and could cook! I enjoyed the video and felt like I was with you being taught how to cook the food, right next to you! I like it when people make you feel right at home with them! PS. Thank's for setting the record straight about the Ackee he would have had us all ill- informed and miss- informed!
This is my favorite Jamaica 🇯🇲 Dish hands down‼️💯💯💯 I feel like Mrs. Debbie is My Mom/ Auntie 🤗 🤗 She is the Best Teacher I ever saw online for teaching. She is very detailed and straight to the point‼️💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 May God always Bless her and her Family‼️💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
Your recipe worked perfect! Will never forget it
Love your video, I made ackee, from the can, for breakfast this morning. It was my first time. Your personality made the video a pleasure to watch. Felt like my auntie was teaching me how to make it. Keep doing your thing "auntie".
I just LOVE the way she talks😍
Reminds me of my grandma. A real Jamaican lady this!
Miss Debbie you did a great job! I stop boiling cod fish along time ago, I pour some boiling water on it for about 15 to 20 mins then pour off the water and add some cold water, it removes the salt. Thanks again for your information.
yes mon ur very welcome
You can also remove salt after soaking. Separate water with lime juice.
u make me realize how
wonderful it can be to can cook not just cook but to able to prepare it the way u do
My mouth is watering right now. I can’t wait to try it. I am in the US so I have to use the Ackee in can. Thanks for teaching us.
Nmaylene As long as it's flavored and cooked properly, it's still delicious using the can. I had it both times when I was in Jamaica and plenty here in the States.
I love, love her. She really gets in depth and detailed. Looks delicious
Debbie am a young lady from Jamaica and when I want to cook a dish forget just find Debbie channel love your cooking

I just purchased the ackee a couple days ago rewatching your video to prepare it now! Thank you 😊
Thank you Miss Debbie for your clear instructional tutorials on preparing Ackee.I had ackee when I visited Jamaica when I had an authentic Jamaican breakfast which was most enjoyable. I had the Acker and salt fish with food.
I now have much clearer insight as to the preparing of the dish and will definitely try my hand at it...Keep up the good work and continue to assist people like me to improve my cooking skills.
It was a pleasure Ms.Debbie looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
I love your accent and detailed videos! Reminds me of my childhood, thank u❤️

Thank you so much for this detailed video! I’ve been eating ackee and salt fish since I was little and want to learn how to make it! Thank you!!!!
My husband thinks you are really funny with your descriptions. We love watching you cook up our favorites.
thanks
I put tomatoes in my ackee and it taste good no sour taste
Just make sure the tomatoes is very ripe and take the seed out
I cook it also without the tomatoes
I love that right no with roast breadfruit 💯💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍👍👍nuff Respect
bless
Yea mon
Cherry tomatoes, a US trick for extra sweetness
I thought so too... what u don't know doesn't hurt you.. now that it's been said to u.. trust me, you will taste it. I no longer use tomatoes, try sweet red pepper.
You could also boil the ackee with a clove of garlic and a piece of escallion for more flavour.
Respect my girl.
Show dem Miss Debs - You are the BEST - EXCELLENT cooking!!!!!
Thank you so much
Blessing Ms Debbie love you cooking and good vibes

I grew up with Jamaican people and love ackee and saltfish.... now my food tastes just like my friends mums food. Hanks and blessings.
Thanks Sister Deb. Another job well done.
ur so welcome hon
I love this lady. I wish she was my auntie. I'm in hospital 2 weeks now, your videos really comforting informative and soo authentic. Remind me of my best friend mom from Jamaica who went home to be with the Lord. Thank u for talking about the ackee to fish ratio. So important. When I get better I'm gonna make your version. God bless you, much success.
Sorry to hear get well soon
I can seriously eat ackee and saltfish everyday! I made it your way just now and it was so good!..you're right about the tomatoes and adding all the other stuff really isn't necessary. I've always had ackee and saltfish with veggies in it and although it is pretty i prefer it way. Keep it up girl
Yes never had tomatoes in my ackee but the color is pretty as you said!!😊
I grew up eating ackee and codfish love it my parents are Jamaicans so im familiar with this dish♥️♥️♥️
A country with come from and you talk the real things dem bout ackee. Keep up the good work you thing sell globally, you are the best.
bless country wi sey
OMGOSH!!! I just could watch your videos all day and drool, you are so funny and entertaining, bruking in de accent now and then......guyana here from Toronto, .. You make cooking look so simple and always look delcious.
Thank you so much for this Mrs Debbie, loved the detailed video...mi ready fi cook mine lol 🇯🇲😋
This is one of the best video on preparing ackee and salt fish authentically Jamaican. I don't like onions so I would cut them thinly or use less. As for the tomato, you are right about the taste it gives the ackee because both the ackee and the tomato are acidic. What I do is I put like a teaspoon of ketchup to cook completely in the oil before I add the fish (be careful as the oil tends to splash). This gives the flavor while toning down the acidity.
Thanks for this Miss Debbie
Like others in the comment from I watched the first of this ladys videos I was hooked and HAD to subscribe.
Her personality is perfect for this... "respect and manners" love her.
Nuff love to yuh mama Debbie.
Blessed love
I now finish cooking this and its,lovely ,thanks debbie
I just love you, I feel like you are talking to me as a friend. Sometimes, I don't understand what you say but you are just too cute. I just love watching your channel, you are such a great teacher about food. Much love and hugs from me in Edmonton, Canada. Thank you for your videos and for teaching us all.
Wow, thank you happy Thanksgiving
That's a Sharpe pot you use to cook that Ackee & Saltfish I like my with some Breadfruit & Yellow Yam great video
Looks delicious...love the way you explain in good detail as you cook.
Thank you
feel like i’m standing in the kitchen with my grandma. love this
My Granddaughter is Jamaican & 1st time cook me Akee & Saltfish, Bammy. I love it.
I come to hear, "Camera girl! Shoot dem up!"
LOL i hope she did nuff love Raion
Please make more videos! This is cooking! reminds me of when I was bringing up my kids in Limon C.R.
Very nice video! I'm not Jamaican, but OMG! how I love Jamaican food. Ackee and Saltfish is my favorite Jamaican dish. It is a must for me to have it with Rice & Peas, authentic densed Jamaican dumplings (the kind that you must use some muscles to cut a piece off or just use a knife), fried plantains, and Green Bananas.😋 The Ackee that I've eaten had red peppers as well as green, and sometimes tomatoes in it, which didn't give it a sour taste. Oh, the Ackee also had bacon in it, OMG! After having it with bacon, I can't imagine it without. But yours look good as well, and given that it seems less time consuming, I will try yours as well. Intimidating spirit must go so that I can finally learn to make my Ackee & Saltfish!!
Overall this authentic ackee and salt is by far one of my favorite video. I have watched this clip many times and tried the cooking method and believe me the result came out 😮 excellent. ( I used ackee from the tree given to me)
Thank you, Ms. Debbie cooking journey.
Great to hear!
I don't know really understand what your saying, but I just want you to know that I recently found your ch. and I LOVE IT!!!

Your channel shld b Debbie's cooking school. Debbie tnx for the schooling... ❤️
I grew up with sauteeing the seasonings 1st but I started experimenting with saltfish 1st ... I agree fish 1st method yield a better finish product. But I also do 🍅🤗. Big up!!!
Yes cousin Debbie big up our national dish.👍🏾Side note I used the canned ackee it tastes the same. One Love❤💚💛🇯🇲🇨🇦👊🏾
i tried this and i loved it ! and i actually used baanana blossoms instead of the fish because im vegan, but its a great recipe! Thank you for making the video.
Debbie from dun a yard is pure nostalgia for me...takes me back to my childhood..😍

Well done a great dish for Easter
I LOVE IT! I'm Jamerican and your personality reminds me of my mother 😥 I'm off today and getting ready to watch all of your videos
ok nappy watching and maybe cooking
westindian delights Definitely! I'm making your curry chicken recipe tonight 😁 I miss hearing patois around the house so I'm playing your videos on my TV as I cook. Blessings from the US!
yes maam, ive seen other videos on ackee recipes and the final dish does not look like anything im accustomed to seeing when i order the dish in jamaica, ive been going there for 30 years now and i think i know what it should look and taste like, your dish looked much more like what i get in negril restaurants, made my mouth water seeing it, well im finally going to give it a try,[cooking it myself],thanks for the demo, mike wilbur,indiana,usa.
Debbie you make me mouth run water til he dry, you a wan wicked cook,good job me girl
Same way so, Loving it😋yummy
same suh fi real bless
Love your vid. Am Antiguan and someone who have an ackee tree gave some ackee from their freezer so wanted to see how to prepare it from you since I always enjoy your cooking
Cooking this for my husband tonight . I am from the south and he is Jamaican, he like southern food but can be picky so it’s time I learn to cook West Indian food
ok hon COOK HIM UP Some happy cooking
You are a wonderful cook
Thanks Kathleen
Ur soooooo detail and I respect that about UA. Yes rite amount of each item fa dish. Yummy yum yum
thank you
I love the videos. So authentic.
Ok I will go back and search for how to clean the ackee in the other videos. Just read the transcript because I can’t use the sound now. I should have known that you are always thorough. I appreciate you.❤
Thank you
This is one of my favorite Jamaican, just had a order from a restaurant earlier. If you have not had this you don't know what your missing.NI like authentic dishes, however I do like trying alternatives or adding a twist to them as well.
I definitely prefer authentic food of any culture being from an Indian background myself. These are amazing recipes shared on from a tradition. Thanks for sharing.
I love Ackee and saltfish but this video is pressing me to ask am I eating real authentic version or a commercial version. I've never tasted a home version to compare takeaway food from a Caribbean or Jamaican shop. It's like I used to buy Jamaican patties beef and mutton being my favourite but when I tasted a homemade version it was totally delicious. Sometimes I'm craving a patty but if I go to a local sandwich shop in Birmingham UK as I'm passing by all I'm offered is standard menu food. It's like in England we have baked potato stands or burger stands but I would love a few pop up patty stands that I can grab and eat. Esp the porridge. I'm tired of Indian kebabs, Pakistani naan and sheesh kebabs. Sometimes I want a patty and I have to drive out my way to get one surely as I'm speaking from the uk I don't know if the local Jamaican shop approaches local shops to share their products but walk into any takeaway all you will see is sausage rolls a Balti pie as a take out heat up quickly on their menu. But no patties. I would have a patty for breakfast if it was offered me esp the mutton and beef.
And another problem the Caribbean shops open late near me yet in Birmingham city centre UK they are open. If I fill up petrol there are no patties in the fridge to heat up. Just sausage rolls etc.
But enough of the rant thanks for sharing the recipe.
OK UR WELCOME
Wowoooow I got it
Hello Miss Debbie, that is the same way I cooked my ackee and saltfish. Country girl learn from my grandmother
I wish we could get Fresh Ackee from the tree in the states, we stuck with the $13 Tins :’-(
OH yes the fresh one is better
Guess you need to move to South Florida
you don't want ackee trees in the states. i live in florida and have about 3 trees in my yard and always have to deal with people crossing my border stealing. china man come..he knock on the door and ask. indian man come..he knock on the door and ask. jamaicans..........................no respect. it's so bad i actually made a song about this yearly invasion.
Where do you live ? Ackee in philadelphia is $8.99-$10
Just paid $10 for a can in chicago
True! Thats what we were taught about butter ackee. I like it.
You can cook it with red herrin or salt mackerel. Almost anything could use.
i dont go anywhere else to find my Jamaican Recipes... thanks Ms.Debbie.
I have a 5 month old and i often say to him "are you a ok?! In your neck of the woods?! lol
All the love in the world from 🇹🇹🍻❤️
Subscribe because you’re authentic and remind me of my mom and granny. Much success to you mommy.
Ms Debbie I agree with you No!! tomatoes in my ackee in salt fish😝 it gives it an awful, sour taste!! But for others if you choose fine! Thanks for sharing again be bless and keep up the good work!
bless up hon nuff love
Ms. Debbie love watching you prepare all the wonderful Jamaican food miss yard bad
