    Loved hearing Yewande's thoughts on food, her cooking experience, and take on 'authenticity.' More of her on NYT Cooking please!!

    In Guyana (South America), we make a yam and plantain stew and we use coconut milk too. We eat it with delicious fried fish (snapper).

    Loved how she interpreted "authentic." I'm influenced by several cultures in my family background, so the way I cook is always unique to who I am, my mood, my travels, and my household, which is true for many of the people in my family. Crazy because my Granny (from Norfolk Va) for example, would have NEVER put sugar in spaghetti sauce, but then saw my aunt in Harlem do it in the 90s and she started doing it for the next few decades! My mom (born and raised in Va), always cooked Southern mac-and-cheese with egg and condensed milk until years ago she saw me doing it using a flour-butter-and-cream roux. My man is Jamaican (born and raised) but did not grow up eating pasta. Today, it is his FAVORITE dish and he cooks "alfredo" WITHOUT heavy cream (and it tastes delish!). So, the part about "authentic" really hit home for me.

    strangely, this curry reminds me of something my Bengali parents would make! and she is so cool

    Oh yum. I made this today. I couldn't find the palm oil. It was so good. Now I didn't have s large pot so I made this in my crock pot. Yum. And I used spinach. Mine took more than 20 minutes because I ordered the Nigerian yam.

  • @kimberly77ish

    Her voice is so soothing. I love the way she talks about cooking and relating that to her heritage, and then the American experience.

    I love this! I came across Ms. Komolafe doing research on cooking with plantains. She seems so diplomatic and personable.

  • @dspacedog
    @dspacedog Před 4 lety +13

    Lovely! The concept is very similar to some typical dishes from the Brazilian state of Bahia, which have deep African roots, so I can easily imagine the flavor. Looks delicious and I can't wait to try!

  • @ms.z461

  • @nsikanfriday1311
    @nsikanfriday1311 Před 2 lety

    I believe this is her interpretation of Yam/Plantain porridge. The coconut milk surely translates it to something South-Asian. Would love to try it.

  • @ellajay6446
    @ellajay6446 Před rokem

    Thank you Yewande - somehow you make cooking very relatable especially with the substitutes we can use hen we can't find the ingredients we are used to. ♥

  • @TheMiltonMeadow
    @TheMiltonMeadow Před 3 lety +2

    Authentic And traditional are 2 different things. As she so well put, something can be authentic to your upbringing or experience but not be how that dish or cuisine is traditionally prepared. I can’t wait for this book!

    @Angels-3xist Před 3 lety

    Entertaining, compelling, interesting flavors, healthy (always a bonus) and actually doable. Everyone can make soup and pretty much anyone can follow this. Nothing too confusing and no ingredients too crazy to find. As far as being authentic, I remember hearing someone talk about how with Mexican food, everyones grandmother had a different recipe and they all thought it was the way you should do things. True across the world. Art, not science. Most of the time. NYT nailing it with their videos.

    • @yunusafatimah621
      @yunusafatimah621 Před 3 lety

      Yams are nice. If you decide to cook with them, please look up the best way to peel them. When raw yams come in contact with skin, it causes an itch.

  • @Lucysmom26
    @Lucysmom26 Před 4 lety +2

    I lived with Nigerian roommates in London in the 00s and can say that I knew nothing of Nigerian cuisine beforehand but it's the shit. Those yams she's talking about, I've never been able to find them in North America, and there's a very spicy condiment/shrimp paste type thing called shito (pronounced sheeto) that, to my tastebuds, is far superior to chili oil.

  • @silog21
    @silog21 Před 4 lety

    This is lovely, we Latin Americans (well not all of us, mostly in the north and the Caribbean, but if you eat plantains in Argentina and Chile let me know) also eat tons of plantains so this hits close to home!!
