I'm half Ghanaian and half Haitian. I enjoy food from both sides. Unfortunately, I can't make Ghanaian cuisine as well as I can make Haitian cuisine. I just discovered your Channel today. I love it!!
We're u born on Ghana r haiti
Which one do you prefer?
Stella, Stella Stella... Thank you so much for this video. 🤗 We're pregnant with our first child and my wife woke up last Saturday morning and had a strong desire for waakye. 😫 As a caring and loving husband I had to cancel all my morning appointments and went to the shop to get the ingredients. Your video helped me cook my first waakye and boy I must say it was 😘. God bless you plenty and do keep up the good work. 🤗
I had so much fun making this recipe. My husband had too much fun enjoying it! This takes me all the way back to the Waakye sellers stand. Please feel free to share with me how you make your Waakye and stew.
StellaZone I have to meet up with u and enjoy some of this waakye before I leave Florida .thanks for sharing ur recipe with us love😘
StellaZone ghhjj
StellaZone
I'm a big fan
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks ! my husband is Ghanaian Excellence you did awesome I went to Africa 2015 and tasted all the good food I miss Ghana and my husband!
Hello stella i from Tanzania and its my first time I need to cook this rice and i statt to look different recipes in TH-cam i saw many but i like ypur video. Is the best. Thank you
Just a suggestion, when I make my waakye I bundled my leaves in cheese cloth and add them to the water to boil for 15+ minutes before adding the peas for deeper color. I take the bundle out just before I add my rice. Makes life easier.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for telling ingredients first, changes along the way, and the length of cooking time. I made it, and it turned out great! I substituted a couple of the spices for other things I had on hand but it was still good. My husband is Ghanian, and he will be pleasantly surprised that I made this. Thanks for sharing your good cooking skills!
I'm not African but I looooove this rice and beans with the shito, my friend she's from Ghana, used to make it for me, I would beg her to make me more but only makes for me once in a long while😓
Will like to make you waakye
😌
Darling, you are the best. Hubby is Ghanaian and your way is just as he knows it and grew up eating it from his late mama. Thank you. Ps I love the way you are, uncomplicated, funny and your hubby is lucky to have you. Allah bless you.
Thank you for this, I'm so happy I found your channel, I'm American but my husband is Ivorian, so any dishes form west Africa I can learn is a blessing
I'm american as well and my husband is from Accra Ghana. So this channel is a lifessver
😌
Stella I cooked Waakye yesterday and my household enjoyed it. They ate it all 😁! Thank you for the videos.
I love your videos. I started watching yesterday. my husband is Jamaican and cooks very well but I know that all great cooking starts from the motherland. I can't wait to make these dishes for him. I love your energy and Beautiful skin. God bless your family for what you're doing. much love from Chicago
I sell the waakye leaves. If you don't have waakye leaves, you can use baking soda, while you cook the black eyed peas. Stella a job well done. My so in law is white also, and he eats all Ghanaian dishes. Will cook this for him. Thanks!
Your husband is doing great learning the language, my wife can only greet people in Twi and we've been together since 2001. Nice videos!
Have your wife try this, my husband will be using it soon

Hello Stella, I see u have spoiled this white love bird u married, I know his friends are so jealous oooo. my American brother inlaw will not eat American food anymore. if my sister refuse to cook African food he is knocking on my door or my baby sister's for food. am proud to be an African lol
Recently tried Waakye and now I am a lover of it. Will try your recipe...from EA! Love your other recipes!
Wow I love your cooking, and like the way your husband enjoys the Ghanaian dish
She cooks smarter rather than harder. Love it!
A typical Ghanaian chop onions with her palm even when there is chopping board. Hahaha l learnt how to use the board when l nearly cut off my fingers. Hahaha
You guys make such a nice couple. I am going to make this for my hubby. Thank you for sharing this.

stella do u know you can recycle the waakye leaves and use it for your next waakye. all you have to do is rinse it off with water once you removed it n freeze it
really???tx
yes its recyclable
Where can u buy the leaves
Liline Lyma its sorghum leaves so check wherever sorghum is grown or african market
Feeding animals really? I didn't know about that. I know South Africans use it for beer

You have such beautiful skin with a natural glow. Nice video, food looks yummy.
Christine Strachan

hi Stella. great video. love the bambalika dance. memories.
I now use kitchen aluminium foil to retain the heat when cooking jollof or any rice dish. to get more heat, u can also place kitchen towels on the foil
