#Tobago #CooCoo #Cornmeal - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
i love the way arlene speaks & explain everything in detail
Everything time I wanna make cou cou I look for Arlene's recipe (I make it once a year so I tend to forget) and she never fails me
In Ghana 🇬🇭 this is banku. I couldn't figure out why it tasted familiar when I went to Ghana. I asked for the ingredients and it was okra, corn 🌽 meal and fish on the side. Just like in Barbados 🇧🇧!
Yes this is an African dish that was brought to the Caribbean
Yes yes we do it with a stew/ steam fish on the side, 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Omg Arlene was such a delight to watch.
This lady has the best trini coo coo recipe I always use it. Tried& true
what a treat to see you collabing with different you tubers. i love Arlenes vibes.
The first time I ate some food from Arlene, I swear I fell in love. Never taste food so delicious before. Much thanks.
Aww. Thanks
@@trinifooddesigner-arlene4642 hi Arlene so good to see to I was thinking about you. Hope business is back to normal and you are healthy. Watching from Queens NYC hope to meet you some day. And I was laughing when you friend heard you used the term " corned the food" we use the item in Guyana too.
Yummy love coo coo with fish and callaloo. PERFECTION!!!
In Montserrat and Antigua it is called Funji
As a fellow Gonian young lady you have been taught well keep up the great work
Wow thanks Kezzie for bringing Arlene again! Hope we can see more episodes with her.
Can't wait to try this method of making coo coo.
Arlene is very talented . She makes everything easy and interesting great job keep it up. Thanks Kezzie .
I love her...so well spoken ..please do more videos with her.
The presentation is amazing. I love Arlene vibes.
A derivative of the African dish fufu 😍 love our history
Eel I guess that may help answer the spelling mystery... it should be cucu it would seem.
Great presentation Arlene and very professional instructions for those who have not made this meal in a long while. Thank you.
Fantastic recipe ! Tried it over and over and consistently the best ! Thanks !
YES!!!!! YES!!!! I love it !!! The presentation is beautiful my Trini style. Show the world how we does do it. 💯☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've never seen Arlene before, but she is an absolute delight❤
Thank u ! I learnt to make coocoo from my mom. Thank u for the detailed info. Presentation excellent, u make me want to cook cause u make it sooo easy.
Awesome final product.
This is my "go to" recipe video
Thank you!
Arlene.....you are such a sweetheart!!! Cou Cou (Coo Coo) is one of my favorite dishes, just as you two are my favorite. Love ya both!!! ONE LOVE....
Lovely ...love it with calaloo and fish.
Great job ladies, intelligent, beautiful and classy...very refreshing to see
You had me up to mixing the corn meal mixture, I’m going to definitely try this method out. Thanks.
I want to make this coo coo Sunday with my grandmother and yours is the best ever
Love the chemistry you gyuls are awesome 🤩
Just learned how to make coo coo Tobago style. Easier than the way my mom made it. I like that you added shredded carrots and coconut milk. Will definitely try it this weekend.
I thought Kezzie was getting away from stirring the pot but Arlene you caught her in time
I tried this recipe today and it came out perfect. Thank you. My other failed attempts either saw the coo coo too raw or lumpy. Can Arlene return and show us how to make callaloo?
Boy, if/when a young guy like myself gets married, and I decide to get married in Trinidad, I know who to call for catering now. Hopefully my family, who are from there, are not too upset. Lol
I love coo coo by the way. Grew up on it. Great video.
A hundred more stirs. Lol!!!!! I just love how she said that & then laughed at the end
This dish is so delightful especially if golden ray is added!
That’s a great idea, to add the water to the cornmeal first before adding to the heat. This helped a lot.
I'm going to try this method.. I could never get coo coo right... lol
That way you don't get lumps in it!
Love this method, I am so excited to try it
I 💕Coo Coo.Can’t wait to try it. Thank you.
Arlene I love the way you speak! 🙃
Thanks .. smiles
Love it! In Jamaica we call it 'turn cornmeal'.
Definitely love the way in which these dishes are made. I tried the char sui pork recently from a previous video and it was great. Keep up the good work.
Show the recipe please.
*looks for char sui pork video*
Great recipe 👌..I made it today with stewed fish and it was delish!😋
Thank you so much for this recipe. I haven’t made this in a while and I will be making this sometime this week, the steps are so easily demonstrated.
Love the way you prepared the coo coo delicious
Wow love this....presentation point. Trying this😊
Coo coo, fish and callaloo is one of my favorite dish
Give Thanks Empress love the presentation. Guidance and Divine Protection.🙏🏿👸🏿🦋🕯️
🔥🔥🔥 you guys are too cute!! But that looks like an awesome recipe, can’t wait to try it. Thank you, looking forward to seeing more recipes for sure!

Ok! well someone does it like me adding water to the cornmeal🤦♀️, my mom stirs it directly in and get it smooth, no lumps ,kizzy's laughing is infectious 🤣😍😍👏👍🏽noice job foodie nation.
Me too..it gets lumpy if I add it directly to the hot mixture
So good with callaloo and stew fish
Arlene Issa boss..love the presentation..❤❤❤
Modern Wase easy in the fifty’s they never put 🥕 coconut milk it was just ocrhors fresh 🌽 and then they put butter in a round bowl and roll it in the shape of a ball I love ❤️ the modern way less work mine you i am talking about the fifty’s love ❤️ it🇹🇹
Love Arlene’s spin 100 Cheers Kezz bring her again
Omg trini ah love de food an trini to de bone well done from marabella Trinidad
Looks amazing! I may try this
Wow! Nice personality, nice presentation!
Thank you my darling for your beautiful video thank you very much God bless
Thanks for this recipe, I just made it (with some modifications to substitute ingredients I don't have). Where I live the corn meal is white, and you have to buy polenta if you want yellow corn meal, so I used what I had... and also I didn't have pimentos (not even sure I know what that is - the stuff inside stuffed olives?) so I used red sweet peppers instead. I didn't have coconut milk, just a tin of coconut cream, so I used that can and just added 'n 3rd tin of water to the mix to make it more milk like. I added garlic and some chilli salt for a little bite and I must say it looks and smells beautiful. I'm going to serve it up with the "braai" aka BBQ we are having later today and I might make a tomato relish sauce to dip the coo coo in, or I might just eat it as is with the meat.
I'm so glad I finally know what to do with the okra I get at the shops and then throw away when they go bad. This is so easy and fits right in to our regular meals... It's going to be delish!
i am so loving this thank you so much. I dont cook coocoo because the first time i tried it you could knock out a man with it. i am going to try this this weekend much love.

Heyyy 2 of my fav persons. Heyyy Arlene, big up Tobago massive and thank you for finally making one of my favorites!
Love making this. I'm not a fan of cooked carrots but I tried it the second time I made it. Still nota fan of cooked carrots 🤣
In Jamaica we call it tun cornmeal.
Yummy... I always mess up making Coo Coo it always comes out too course lmao.. Stay Safe everyone!!
Trying it this way today
Coo coo is coo coo to me, too. I'm a Trini but would recognize cou cou to mean the same thing.
I miss Arlene so much with episodes
Awesome
Delicious yummy
Hello, so I am a Trini living in the UK. Want to make some for the family during the holidays but here the cornmeal is fine, medium, or course. Not sure which one to use. Can you guys help?
Coo coo
Hard work for your food Kezzi
Great job Arlene,!!!buh ah still wah yuh ask yuh Mom or Granma about the method ah mention ...
I had to watch this video twice. The charm and beauty of these two cooks was frustratingly distracting.
Coo coo I love you!👧🌸🌸🌸
In Barbados it's only spelt Cou-Cou and we have been stirring it with an electric hand blender for a while now.
My 2cents on the Corn Cou Cou spelling is has follows, it's spelt with the 'U' because our French influence cou by itself in French means neck but together cou cou is also a way of saying 'hello.' This dish is yellow, vibrant, speckled with many bright colours and coupled with the taste...it is definitely saying 'Hello!".
Such a lovely explanation. Coucou! :)
❤️
O gorm alyuh make meh wanna go buy corn meal fish callaloo and mnms 😋
Looks beautiful especially the plating at the end. I think sometimes the coo coo texture turns out different depending on if you use fine or course grain cornmeal.
Hello kessieann and Arlene, Coo-coo looks amazing, what is that at the end of the skewer? love from Georgetown Guyana 🇬🇾🤗👏🌹
It looks like M&M candy
It's part of the skewer, to give a little grip
Ayeeee, what kinda pot is this??! Handle ain't hot at all🤔........I want 1 oui! Trying this cou-cou next Sunday!
I would say english is more Coocoo, french is more Coucou. I am a french trini, so i hope ah know :p
You're corrrect
Off topic. Where did you ladies get your earrings?
what brand of cornmeal used. different cornmeal cook with different timing. also homemade cornmeal is also a different matter. so help. i do not like promasa cookoo it to sofee sofee. help
Can Arlene come back to make some crab? *My mouth start to water already*
Well I guess this is the modern way,because in my day,my Mom used to stir it in little by little,while stirring...you never too young to learn 🤔
Mam i love your voice
And you 😘
