Have you ever wondered
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
exactly how to
prepare healthy food
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
that actually tastes good?
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.53
Well stay tuned
00:00:05.57\00:00:06.90
while Evita Tezeno and
yours truly, Nyse Collins
00:00:06.94\00:00:09.14
show you just how to do it
00:00:09.17\00:00:10.94
and give you something
better, a Taste of Paradise.
00:00:10.97\00:00:13.94
Welcome to a Taste of Paradise.
00:00:31.56\00:00:33.50
My name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:33.53\00:00:35.93
and you know who
doesn't like a good cup of soup,
00:00:35.96\00:00:39.43
especially on a cold
winter morning or afternoon.
00:00:39.47\00:00:45.07
But I am gonna make
a refreshing cool soup
00:00:45.11\00:00:50.68
that you can have in the
time of summer or spring.
00:00:50.71\00:00:55.72
Making a corn chowder
00:00:55.75\00:00:58.35
and a pineapple
cucumber gazpacho,
00:00:58.39\00:01:01.92
which is refreshing
but sweet and savory.
00:01:01.96\00:01:05.36
So let's go to the first
recipe for the corn chowder.
00:01:05.39\00:01:08.76
And the ingredients are:
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.33
So, we're using organic
corn 'cause most of the corn
00:01:31.65\00:01:35.16
that's out there are
genetically modified,
00:01:35.19\00:01:38.13
and I like to use organic corn.
00:01:38.16\00:01:41.66
So, we got to put our
corn in, and I am gonna reserve
00:01:41.70\00:01:45.73
just a maybe a
little bit to garnish it,
00:01:45.77\00:01:50.97
garnish our soup
and the coconut water.
00:01:51.01\00:01:55.88
Now, I have a dear friend
that's allergic to coconut.
00:01:55.91\00:01:59.25
So, if you have an
allergy about coconut,
00:01:59.28\00:02:02.25
you can use water.
00:02:02.28\00:02:03.79
But the coconut water just
adds a little more sweetness
00:02:03.82\00:02:07.09
and a little more
flavor to our soup.
00:02:07.12\00:02:12.13
We've the ginger,
and the Medjool dates
00:02:12.16\00:02:17.73
and I, you know,
you can use honey
00:02:17.77\00:02:20.30
or you can use agave.
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.10
But I like to use everything
00:02:22.14\00:02:24.54
that is kind of
fresh or not processed.
00:02:24.57\00:02:28.08
And dates are
not really processed.
00:02:28.11\00:02:32.65
We have add two
cloves of garlic,
00:02:32.68\00:02:36.69
add salt, and I'm gonna
blend this a little bit.
00:02:36.72\00:02:40.72
And I have a
coconut, I wanted to show you
00:02:40.76\00:02:42.79
what it looks like.
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.16
This is a young Thai coconut.
00:02:44.19\00:02:46.33
And it's not the mature,
00:02:46.36\00:02:47.76
the matured type
of coconut is brown.
00:02:47.80\00:02:50.53
And so, this is
what we are using,
00:02:50.57\00:02:52.30
we're getting the
water out of this.
00:02:52.33\00:02:54.00
If you've been
watching my programs,
00:02:54.04\00:02:57.61
you've seen me use this
a lot, and it is a real,
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.54
it's high in electrolytes
and it's very, very refreshing.
00:03:00.58\00:03:03.41
You can drink it as a drink,
00:03:03.45\00:03:06.08
the water inside,
and you can use the meat
00:03:06.11\00:03:08.72
for different types
of recipes and desserts.
00:03:08.75\00:03:15.02
So, we're gonna
blend this really quickly.
00:03:15.06\00:03:16.86
And then what I call my
secret weapon is avocado.
00:03:39.68\00:03:44.69
I love avocado.
00:03:44.72\00:03:47.82
It adds creaminess to dishes,
00:03:47.86\00:03:50.83
and it has the fat
that is healthy fat.
00:03:50.86\00:03:56.43
So, we're gonna take
the seed out of here,
00:04:00.10\00:04:04.71
and add the other half.
00:04:04.74\00:04:07.01
And blend it.
00:04:16.62\00:04:17.95
I'll stir it a little bit.
00:04:27.36\00:04:28.86
And let's blend
it a little bit more.
00:04:41.04\00:04:44.25
Let's get our bowl.
00:04:53.39\00:04:54.72
It's really
thick like a chowder.
00:05:03.16\00:05:06.50
But it's very, very
delicious, I see yummy.
00:05:06.53\00:05:12.44
It's almost like a porridge.
00:05:12.47\00:05:18.71
And what I like to
do is to garnish it
00:05:18.75\00:05:21.85
with a little more corn.
00:05:21.88\00:05:24.55
And you can also put a
little bit of avocado on it,
00:05:28.89\00:05:33.46
just to add some color.
00:05:33.50\00:05:35.83
And there you
have it, corn chowder.
00:05:45.27\00:05:48.64
So, we're gonna
do our next recipe
00:05:48.68\00:05:50.41
which is
pineapple cucumber gazpacho.
00:05:50.45\00:05:54.22
And the ingredients for that:
00:05:54.25\00:05:55.75
So we're gonna start off
00:06:17.54\00:06:19.11
by putting the
pineapple in the Vitamix.
00:06:19.14\00:06:26.01
I use pineapple in
a lot like smoothies
00:06:26.05\00:06:32.32
and I juice it, I make
this amazing pineapple,
00:06:32.35\00:06:38.06
and spinach, and
coconut water smoothie,
00:06:38.09\00:06:41.93
it's just amazing.
00:06:41.96\00:06:43.30
It's just so sweet.
00:06:43.33\00:06:44.87
This is coconut water,
and what we're gonna do
00:06:44.90\00:06:49.37
is we're gonna
blend this a little bit.
00:06:49.40\00:06:51.47
Okay.
00:07:06.12\00:07:08.72
Then we're gonna
put our cucumbers in.
00:07:08.76\00:07:11.89
And cucumbers are
also very hydrating.
00:07:16.13\00:07:18.77
Our cilantro.
00:07:23.27\00:07:25.47
Jalapenos.
00:07:29.31\00:07:31.35
Salt.
00:07:34.95\00:07:36.75
And our dates and be
sure to check the dates
00:07:39.42\00:07:42.52
to make sure that
their pits are out of them.
00:07:42.56\00:07:45.63
We're gonna cover this
up and we're going to blend.
00:07:49.33\00:07:54.27
Let's try to
blend without the pulse.
00:07:54.30\00:07:56.81
Now if you think
that it is sweet enough,
00:08:32.54\00:08:35.51
you don't have to
put the dates in it
00:08:35.54\00:08:37.25
but, you know, I like
sweet and spicy together.
00:08:37.28\00:08:41.05
And the jalapenos and
the sweetness of the dates,
00:08:41.08\00:08:45.62
it makes it incredible.
00:08:45.65\00:08:48.26
So, we're gonna plate it now
00:08:48.29\00:08:52.96
and it's frothy, yummy,
00:08:52.99\00:08:56.10
yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.
00:08:56.13\00:09:00.27
And what I like to do is put
a little Pico de Gallo on top.
00:09:00.30\00:09:04.84
And this is
another fast, quick, easy,
00:09:10.25\00:09:14.98
and fresh recipe
from yours truly.
00:09:15.02\00:09:19.35
And remember to live life fresh.
00:09:19.39\00:09:25.09
Jamaican, what you making?
00:09:32.17\00:09:34.24
That's right we are talking
about A Taste of Paradise here.
00:09:34.27\00:09:37.24
And you cannot have
a taste of paradise,
00:09:37.27\00:09:39.14
if you don't have some recipes
00:09:39.17\00:09:40.64
from the island of
JA is what they say.
00:09:40.68\00:09:43.85
We all know
that's short for Jamaica.
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.21
Some time ago, on
different program I,
00:09:46.25\00:09:48.28
you know, I did a little
peas and rice, or rice and peas.
00:09:48.32\00:09:51.49
And I was at this one
location where one person said,
00:09:51.52\00:09:53.76
"Man, that's not how
we make it in Jamaica."
00:09:53.79\00:09:57.03
So, I said, "You know what?
00:09:57.06\00:09:58.49
Let me start with
the island recipes. "
00:09:58.53\00:10:00.60
Because I'm
from a island myself,
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.26
I won't tell you though,
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.03
and we're gonna
bring our expert here,
00:10:04.07\00:10:06.74
one of our very own
consultants at SanareLife,
00:10:06.77\00:10:09.87
her name is Donna Marie Linsey.
00:10:09.90\00:10:12.57
The name even sounds Jamaican.
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.34
So sister, Donna
Marie, welcome, welcome.
00:10:14.38\00:10:16.04
How are you?
00:10:16.08\00:10:17.41
I'm doing fine.
You're doing good.
00:10:17.45\00:10:18.85
I figured look, you know,
people say I'm a Ja-fai-can.
00:10:18.88\00:10:23.42
So, you know, just
faking to be a Jamaican.
00:10:23.45\00:10:25.45
So, I said let me bring
in the pure Jamaican here.
00:10:25.49\00:10:28.42
All right? So
Donna, what's happening?
00:10:28.46\00:10:30.83
Well, we're doing
something sweet today.
00:10:30.86\00:10:34.23
We're doing something sweet.
00:10:34.26\00:10:35.60
And this is crucial here
because some of my friends,
00:10:35.63\00:10:38.33
some of my friends came back,
00:10:38.37\00:10:40.47
as we all know one
of our other consultants
00:10:40.50\00:10:42.00
came back from Jamaica,
00:10:42.04\00:10:43.37
and they brought some
sweets back with them.
00:10:43.41\00:10:45.51
And everybody ate
it, everybody ate it.
00:10:45.54\00:10:49.91
I had to stay away, why?
00:10:49.94\00:10:51.28
Because they had so
much sugar, and coloring,
00:10:51.31\00:10:53.88
and all of these
things that I was like,
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.18
"You know, I'm just
gonna give that a break
00:10:56.22\00:10:57.72
I used to eat that but I
can't eat that no more. "
00:10:57.75\00:11:00.09
And so, we said, let's go ahead
00:11:00.12\00:11:02.49
and let's try to
take some of those same,
00:11:02.52\00:11:04.83
cool, cool desserts and
put a healthy twist on it.
00:11:04.86\00:11:08.10
Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:08.13\00:11:09.46
So Donna Marie is
gonna help us herself
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.93
in making some of those items.
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.64
Now, there's two items
that you had in mind today
00:11:13.67\00:11:15.57
that we're gonna make.
00:11:15.60\00:11:16.94
Yes, two items,
Jamaican Grater cake
00:11:16.97\00:11:19.04
and cornmeal pudding.
00:11:19.07\00:11:20.74
Jamican Grater cake?
00:11:20.78\00:11:23.04
Yes, that's what I like
00:11:23.08\00:11:24.41
with the coconut
and all that stuff.
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
Right, you got it. Sweet, sweet.
00:11:25.81\00:11:27.75
And your teeth fall
out at the same time.
00:11:27.78\00:11:30.09
But it's still
good, it tastes good.
00:11:30.12\00:11:32.05
Well, we're gonna make that
and we're gonna make some what?
00:11:32.09\00:11:34.36
Cornmeal pudding.
Cornmeal pudding, yes, yes!
00:11:34.39\00:11:38.16
Now we're talking,
you know what I mean.
00:11:38.19\00:11:39.66
So, in my island, you
know, what island I'm from?
00:11:39.69\00:11:42.50
Yes I do, Nyse.
00:11:42.53\00:11:43.87
What island? Trinidad.
00:11:43.90\00:11:45.30
I'm not from
Trinidad. I know from Brooklyn.
00:11:45.33\00:11:47.67
My mom is from
Trinidad, my dad is from Italy
00:11:47.70\00:11:50.01
but I'm from the
island of Brooklyn.
00:11:50.04\00:11:53.31
Brooklyn. There it is.
00:11:53.34\00:11:54.98
There are more
people from the Caribbean
00:11:55.01\00:11:56.95
I think in Brooklyn
than in the Caribbean itself.
00:11:56.98\00:11:59.81
So I have a little idea.
00:11:59.85\00:12:03.59
No, Nyse. Oh, sorry.
00:12:03.62\00:12:04.95
My Jamaican accent
is not working today.
00:12:04.99\00:12:06.86
So, let's go to, what
are we gonna do first?
00:12:06.89\00:12:09.29
We're gonna do the Grater cake?
00:12:09.32\00:12:10.66
The Grater cake
first. The Grater cake.
00:12:10.69\00:12:12.03
So, we're gonna go
through this recipe real quick,
00:12:12.06\00:12:13.40
so you can write down
the healthy Grater cake
00:12:13.43\00:12:16.10
because we are
Jamaican and we're making it.
00:12:16.13\00:12:19.07
Yeah? We're making it.
00:12:19.10\00:12:20.44
I think so. Here it is.
00:12:20.47\00:12:21.80
The Grater cake,
Jamaican Grater cake.
00:12:21.84\00:12:24.04
All you need is:
00:12:24.07\00:12:25.41
Okay, I'm sure
this is the healthy one.
00:12:42.82\00:12:44.26
You actually show us how
to-- or just a little idea,
00:12:44.29\00:12:46.86
give us a tip on
how to make that, yeah?
00:12:46.90\00:12:48.26
Yes, what we've
decided to use is beets
00:12:48.30\00:12:50.60
because it has a
natural red color.
00:12:50.63\00:12:52.37
So it would give it that
nice red color that we want.
00:12:52.40\00:12:54.87
Very nice, so we use
beets to make that red coloring.
00:12:54.90\00:12:58.27
Right.
00:12:58.31\00:12:59.64
So, you all don't
have to worry about that.
00:12:59.67\00:13:01.24
A lot of times we eat
food with all these colorings
00:13:01.28\00:13:03.28
and they've
chemicals and stuff, yeah?
00:13:03.31\00:13:04.98
Yes.
00:13:05.01\00:13:06.35
What would you say they cause
quite a bit of problems, no?
00:13:06.38\00:13:07.75
They do. They do.
00:13:07.78\00:13:09.12
So, we're gonna make our own,
as she said organic, organic.
00:13:09.15\00:13:12.69
So, what are we gonna
do? We're gonna start here.
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.56
You just guide me along,
00:13:14.59\00:13:15.92
you know because I'm
faking to be Jamaican so.
00:13:15.96\00:13:18.03
All right, let me
help you out. All right.
00:13:18.06\00:13:19.56
So, what we're gonna do is
we're gonna add the coconut.
00:13:19.59\00:13:23.50
We're gonna add the fructose,
you know, our sugar substitute.
00:13:23.53\00:13:27.40
And then we're
gonna add the water.
00:13:27.44\00:13:29.07
So here it is. I'll
just follow your lead.
00:13:29.10\00:13:31.17
I'll just mix. So
we'll take a part.
00:13:31.21\00:13:32.94
We'll get that going.
Right, and we're gonna add in.
00:13:32.97\00:13:35.11
You take that
and I'll turn that.
00:13:35.14\00:13:36.48
Now how high should the fire be?
00:13:36.51\00:13:38.21
We want it on, not
too high, just medium heat
00:13:38.25\00:13:41.42
because we
don't want it to burn,
00:13:41.45\00:13:42.78
we just want it to boil some
00:13:42.82\00:13:44.35
depending on what
kind of pot you are using.
00:13:44.39\00:13:46.92
Okay so, we have that,
then we're gonna add what else?
00:13:46.96\00:13:50.66
Our fructose.
00:13:50.69\00:13:52.03
Fructose,
fructose, now fructose is...
00:13:52.06\00:13:55.00
Help us out.
00:13:55.03\00:13:56.36
Fructose-- Is
just basically what?
00:13:56.40\00:13:58.70
It's sugar from fruits.
Sugar from fruits, so...
00:13:58.73\00:14:00.64
Right, so it's healthier
00:14:00.67\00:14:02.60
and it's
sweeter than the normal.
00:14:02.64\00:14:05.44
So, you don't
need to use as much
00:14:05.47\00:14:06.81
as you would in a
traditional recipe.
00:14:06.84\00:14:08.21
Okay.
00:14:08.24\00:14:09.61
So, it's actually a
good way to, you know, use,
00:14:09.64\00:14:11.08
you know, something
that will be healthier,
00:14:11.11\00:14:14.82
and you can use less than
00:14:14.85\00:14:16.65
what the regular
recipe would call for.
00:14:16.69\00:14:18.55
Very nice.
00:14:18.59\00:14:19.92
And it's natural of
course, so that's the benefit.
00:14:19.95\00:14:21.29
Look at that, so we
have the natural one.
00:14:21.32\00:14:22.66
Yeah, I'm starting to feel it
00:14:22.69\00:14:24.03
getting little thick
and then we're adding...
00:14:24.06\00:14:25.46
We're adding water
00:14:25.49\00:14:26.83
and we're just gonna keep mixing
00:14:26.86\00:14:29.16
until it gets soft and...
00:14:29.20\00:14:33.23
Hey, it's starting to
getting into the little balls
00:14:33.27\00:14:35.57
that we usually
see in the sugar.
00:14:35.60\00:14:37.34
The sugar ones, yeah?
00:14:37.37\00:14:38.71
Right, just keep mixing.
00:14:38.74\00:14:40.38
Uh-huh. Until?
00:14:40.41\00:14:42.18
Until it's gonna start changing
colors on me or something?
00:14:42.21\00:14:44.25
No, because we want it to stay
nice and white and that's...
00:14:44.28\00:14:46.45
Nice and white.
00:14:46.48\00:14:47.82
You know also another
reason why we chose fructose
00:14:47.85\00:14:49.95
because it gives it
that nice color there.
00:14:49.98\00:14:51.75
Okay.
00:14:51.79\00:14:53.12
So we want to
make sure that we...
00:14:53.15\00:14:54.52
Mmm, it's
starting to smell like it.
00:14:54.56\00:14:56.69
We used to buy
this for like a quarter
00:14:56.73\00:14:58.49
on the streets there in Brooklyn
00:14:58.53\00:15:01.33
and so now I know
how to make it myself.
00:15:01.36\00:15:03.70
I'm so, so excited
about doing this, why?
00:15:03.73\00:15:07.30
Because now I can say
I made a Jamaican treat.
00:15:07.34\00:15:11.84
Yeah, I made a
nice Jamaican treat.
00:15:11.87\00:15:13.74
So, this is going.
Right, keep mixing.
00:15:13.78\00:15:16.24
It may take a
few minutes or two.
00:15:16.28\00:15:19.21
Okay. And then?
00:15:19.25\00:15:20.65
You want it to
start to clump together.
00:15:20.68\00:15:24.32
All right, so we see that.
00:15:24.35\00:15:25.69
'Cause you want it to be
sticky to stick together.
00:15:25.72\00:15:27.69
Okay. Right?
00:15:27.72\00:15:29.49
Then we're gonna add a little
bit of the peppermint essence.
00:15:29.52\00:15:33.70
So, we have the
peppermint essence as well.
00:15:33.73\00:15:35.66
That's why I had
that peppermint flavor.
00:15:35.70\00:15:37.97
So even with the
peppermint candy,
00:15:38.00\00:15:39.33
they just add
the peppermint to it.
00:15:39.37\00:15:40.70
Exactly.
00:15:40.74\00:15:42.07
With a bunch of sugar and
stuff though and coloring, okay.
00:15:42.10\00:15:44.61
And it gives you
that nice little flavor
00:15:44.64\00:15:46.24
like you will be see in mint.
00:15:46.27\00:15:47.61
So how much of the peppermint
are we gonna add here?
00:15:47.64\00:15:50.01
Well, the recipe
calls for half a teaspoon.
00:15:50.05\00:15:52.85
Okay.
00:15:52.88\00:15:54.22
So what we're gonna
do is just a few drops.
00:15:54.25\00:15:55.98
A few drops, okay.
00:15:56.02\00:15:58.15
Because it's pretty strong.
00:15:58.19\00:15:59.52
Yes. Hmm.
00:15:59.55\00:16:01.69
And as you're mixing,
00:16:01.72\00:16:03.06
you're gonna smell the
aroma of the peppermint.
00:16:03.09\00:16:04.99
Okay.
00:16:05.03\00:16:06.53
What if I want
extra peppermint flavor?
00:16:06.56\00:16:09.63
You could add a tad bit
more but I won't overdo it,
00:16:09.66\00:16:12.63
we want it to be temperate.
00:16:12.67\00:16:14.17
This is not
peppermint candy, huh?
00:16:14.20\00:16:16.44
This is not peppermint candy.
00:16:16.47\00:16:17.81
Oh, man, I can
smell it, you're right,
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.17
it's coming up now.
00:16:19.21\00:16:20.54
So you probably
wouldn't want to add too much.
00:16:20.58\00:16:21.91
I think, you know,
1/2 a teaspoon is quite...
00:16:21.94\00:16:25.35
Quite a bit.
Enough, it's quite enough.
00:16:25.38\00:16:26.88
Quite a bit, or a
couple of drops as you said.
00:16:26.92\00:16:28.58
Couple of drops, that's right.
00:16:28.62\00:16:29.95
And then what happens now?
00:16:29.98\00:16:31.32
All right, so
what I want you to do
00:16:31.35\00:16:32.69
is to just remove it
from the flame for a bit.
00:16:32.72\00:16:36.26
You can turn it off for a while.
00:16:36.29\00:16:38.13
We're gonna get
our greased paper--
00:16:38.16\00:16:41.70
Man, this thing smells
like-- On some grease paper.
00:16:41.73\00:16:45.17
Okay. So we'll bring that over.
00:16:45.20\00:16:49.10
Right, we're
gonna bring that over.
00:16:49.14\00:16:50.54
We're gonna do some
drops on to our greased paper.
00:16:50.57\00:16:56.01
That's why they call it what?
00:16:56.04\00:16:57.38
Grater cake! Grater cake, right.
00:16:57.41\00:16:58.91
So, we're gonna
make some little...
00:16:58.95\00:17:01.18
Get us a little on the--
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.18
How much? Right, that's perfect.
00:17:03.22\00:17:04.55
That much.
00:17:04.59\00:17:05.92
Yeah, that's
perfect and we kind of--
00:17:05.95\00:17:07.29
Hee-hee. I'm gonna use--
00:17:07.32\00:17:09.19
That's what my
Jamaican grandma used to say.
00:17:09.22\00:17:11.03
I dropped so many
grams, she goes hee-hee.
00:17:11.06\00:17:13.29
I was about to ask you
which Jamaican grandma.
00:17:13.33\00:17:15.53
Yeah, yeah, don't
worry, I have some...
00:17:15.56\00:17:17.37
Grandma, I know you're
out there, God bless you too.
00:17:17.40\00:17:19.67
Love you. All right.
00:17:19.70\00:17:21.20
So I'm just using a
spoon to kind of shape it.
00:17:21.24\00:17:23.87
Okay, so do I do another one?
00:17:23.91\00:17:25.61
Yes, so, we're
gonna fill this plate here
00:17:25.64\00:17:28.01
on this grease paper.
00:17:28.04\00:17:29.38
So I put it like
soap. Just like soap.
00:17:29.41\00:17:32.81
Nyse... My accent is no good?
00:17:32.85\00:17:35.18
No Nyse, come on, stop
faking. Mercy, mercy and grace.
00:17:35.22\00:17:39.95
All right, so? All
right, we're just gonna--
00:17:39.99\00:17:42.66
but we want to make sure
00:17:42.69\00:17:44.03
we leave a little
bit more in the pot.
00:17:44.06\00:17:45.39
So let's just see if
we can get at least...
00:17:45.43\00:17:47.23
Come, come on, fix me up.
00:17:47.26\00:17:49.03
This is what they say
00:17:49.06\00:17:50.40
when they are
making the food, right?
00:17:50.43\00:17:52.00
Nyse, I don't know
00:17:52.03\00:17:53.37
where you get these
stuff from, seriously.
00:17:53.40\00:17:56.71
I guess my
Jamaican accent is no good.
00:17:56.74\00:17:58.94
So, I'll just
keep my mouth quiet.
00:17:58.97\00:18:00.64
So one more, we're gonna
do about three or four of them
00:18:00.68\00:18:03.24
'cause I can eat three.
00:18:03.28\00:18:04.88
All right.
00:18:04.91\00:18:06.55
And then what else?
00:18:06.58\00:18:08.18
Let's drop one
more in the center.
00:18:08.22\00:18:10.45
Oh, you wanted one for
yourself I see, no problem.
00:18:10.49\00:18:12.62
Two-- You need to share, Nyse.
00:18:12.65\00:18:14.92
Yes, sharing is
always good, here we go.
00:18:14.96\00:18:19.09
So now you know why
we have Donna on the team
00:18:19.13\00:18:21.60
because she is gonna
make some of these great
00:18:21.63\00:18:23.67
Jamaican dishes as well.
00:18:23.70\00:18:25.87
So, we have that much there.
00:18:25.90\00:18:28.40
And then what's gonna happen
with this food coloring now?
00:18:28.44\00:18:31.07
All right, so with--
00:18:31.11\00:18:33.04
what we have left,
00:18:33.07\00:18:34.41
let's take our food
coloring, our beets.
00:18:34.44\00:18:37.11
Our beets, okay and
then? The juice from the beets.
00:18:37.15\00:18:40.12
And we're gonna
take like a spoonful
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.08
to add to that and we're gonna-
00:18:42.12\00:18:43.72
Of the beets? Hm-hmm.
00:18:43.75\00:18:45.09
Of the beet-juice.
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.45
Beet-juice, I'm gonna
take a spoonful of this.
00:18:46.49\00:18:50.19
Oops, let do it this way.
00:18:50.23\00:18:52.59
And then?
00:18:52.63\00:18:53.96
We're gonna add it to,
the coconut there at the heat.
00:18:54.00\00:18:56.36
All of it? Hm-hmm.
00:18:56.40\00:18:59.30
Woah! All right.
00:18:59.33\00:19:01.40
All right, here we go.
00:19:01.44\00:19:02.77
So we have that. Let's mix it.
00:19:02.80\00:19:04.67
We want to get it
kind of pinkish, reddish.
00:19:04.71\00:19:07.21
If you need more--
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.71
So I can just put a
little bit more if I wanted to.
00:19:08.74\00:19:10.15
Yeah. Pour it all in.
00:19:10.18\00:19:11.98
Turn it up and let it overflow.
00:19:12.01\00:19:14.12
Right. All right.
00:19:14.15\00:19:15.88
So, I'm moving.
00:19:15.92\00:19:17.25
This is how they
get the coloring,
00:19:17.29\00:19:18.62
or they will do it a
different way, of course.
00:19:18.65\00:19:19.99
They probably
add a whole bunch of-
00:19:20.02\00:19:21.36
But we are trying to do
a healthier version of it.
00:19:21.39\00:19:24.19
The healthy way, okay.
00:19:24.23\00:19:25.56
So nice and
pink, almost red there.
00:19:25.59\00:19:26.93
Right.
00:19:26.96\00:19:28.30
And what I'm gonna to do?
You gonna scoop it on top.
00:19:28.33\00:19:30.83
All right, so we
take a little piece there.
00:19:30.87\00:19:33.74
Pour it on the top.
00:19:33.77\00:19:35.10
Our next piece, let me
put one more, one more piece!
00:19:35.14\00:19:41.34
All right. Hee-hee.
00:19:41.38\00:19:42.88
I like this shade of pink.
00:19:42.91\00:19:44.25
You like this?
This is to fight of--
00:19:44.28\00:19:47.78
Well, I don't know this sugar,
00:19:47.82\00:19:49.15
I would say fight
against breast cancer,
00:19:49.18\00:19:50.52
we'll add some sugar here.
00:19:50.55\00:19:51.95
So but there it is.
00:19:51.99\00:19:53.76
So we are going
to do our own part
00:19:53.79\00:19:56.49
and we have that there.
00:19:56.52\00:19:58.26
Then we take this and we
put this in a oven or something?
00:19:58.29\00:20:00.63
No, we're just gonna put it
in the refrigerator to cool.
00:20:00.66\00:20:03.53
Okay.
00:20:03.57\00:20:04.90
And it's kind of gonna
sets and get, you know, sticky.
00:20:04.93\00:20:08.94
So, we're gonna take this now,
00:20:08.97\00:20:10.31
we're gonna put
this in a refrigerator
00:20:10.34\00:20:12.67
and get that ready, and
we're gonna move on to do-
00:20:12.71\00:20:16.64
Donna's gonna go
ahead and put that in a-
00:20:16.68\00:20:18.55
this is, I finally get to say
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.05
I made my
favorite Jamaican dish.
00:20:20.08\00:20:23.45
So, nobody can say I'm faking
to be Jamaican, all right?
00:20:23.49\00:20:26.69
If you want to get it
a darker or deeper shade,
00:20:26.72\00:20:29.79
you can always add more beets
00:20:29.82\00:20:31.16
and you can get a
brighter, you know, color.
00:20:31.19\00:20:33.66
Right, so if you wanted
red or something like that.
00:20:33.70\00:20:35.80
If you mix colors,
can you get like a green,
00:20:35.83\00:20:37.63
a red and orange or something?
00:20:37.67\00:20:39.27
Well, it wouldn't be
Jamaican anymore then.
00:20:39.30\00:20:41.24
Oh, I'm sorry. There it is.
00:20:41.27\00:20:42.60
That's how I'm trying to
put my American touch on it.
00:20:42.64\00:20:44.51
So here we go,
I'll be done with that.
00:20:44.54\00:20:46.64
Now, we're gonna move on
to one of my favorite desserts
00:20:46.68\00:20:49.64
and it's called a what?
00:20:49.68\00:20:51.08
Cornmeal
pudding. Cornmeal pudding.
00:20:51.11\00:20:53.21
Here it is the Jamaican
making cornmeal pudding.
00:20:53.25\00:20:57.55
One of the favorites,
00:20:57.59\00:20:58.92
everybody always
have this after the meal.
00:20:58.95\00:21:00.29
Here is a simple
recipe on a healthy way
00:21:00.32\00:21:02.42
to make that cornmeal pudding.
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.83
We've got a little corn there.
00:21:04.86\00:21:06.46
All we need is what:
00:21:06.49\00:21:07.83
All right? So there we go.
00:21:43.40\00:21:45.33
That's really
simple, easy to make.
00:21:45.37\00:21:46.90
Let's go ahead and knock this up
00:21:46.94\00:21:48.27
because I'm excited.
00:21:48.30\00:21:49.64
I got the Grater cake.
What are we gonna do first?
00:21:49.67\00:21:51.27
What we're gonna do,
we're gonna put together
00:21:51.31\00:21:53.11
our dry ingredients.
00:21:53.14\00:21:54.88
So we're gonna
start with our cornmeal.
00:21:54.91\00:21:56.98
So, we take the cornmeal,
we're gonna put that in.
00:21:57.01\00:21:59.05
Put it in the
bowl. Nice big bowl.
00:21:59.08\00:22:00.62
Cornmeal is
fantastic, helpful for you.
00:22:00.65\00:22:03.42
You're getting your
carbs and all that good stuff.
00:22:03.45\00:22:06.05
And then we're gonna
add our unbleached flour.
00:22:06.09\00:22:08.79
Unbleached flour.
00:22:08.82\00:22:10.69
Right, we're gonna kind
of get it mixed up together.
00:22:10.73\00:22:14.56
Traditionally what
we do is get a sieve
00:22:14.60\00:22:17.63
and sieve it together.
00:22:17.67\00:22:19.03
Okay.
00:22:19.07\00:22:20.40
Right, but we're just
gonna whisk it together
00:22:20.44\00:22:22.40
to kind of get it
all blended and mixed.
00:22:22.44\00:22:24.01
So you mix those sieve up--
00:22:24.04\00:22:25.37
you have the flour
and you have the cornmeal.
00:22:25.41\00:22:28.31
Cornmeal, right.
Okay, what's next?
00:22:28.34\00:22:30.51
Next we're gonna add the sugar.
00:22:30.55\00:22:33.31
All right, now this is
not your typical sugar,
00:22:33.35\00:22:36.15
but this is your
evaporated cane juice crystals.
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.75
Right.
00:22:39.79\00:22:41.12
Okay, evaporated, am I right?
00:22:41.16\00:22:42.49
Man, that's a lot
of sugar in there.
00:22:42.52\00:22:44.33
Yeah, the thing about cornmeal,
it tends to absorb a lot,
00:22:44.36\00:22:47.86
so you add sugar to
it and then you find
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.70
that you don't taste it.
00:22:50.73\00:22:52.13
So for this case, you
know it will be just right,
00:22:52.17\00:22:55.04
the amount that we
have, not too sweet.
00:22:55.07\00:22:56.87
Ooh!
00:22:56.91\00:22:58.31
My teeth are type of-
00:22:58.34\00:23:00.28
Not too sweet.
But the good thing--
00:23:00.31\00:23:01.64
Is this is the better
option for sugar, yeah?
00:23:01.68\00:23:04.38
Evaporated cane
juice crystals. Right.
00:23:04.41\00:23:05.88
And then? We're just gonna--
00:23:05.91\00:23:08.15
Do you want me to mix that?
00:23:08.18\00:23:09.82
Fine, go ahead,
thank you so much.
00:23:09.85\00:23:11.65
I got to get my
hand in this. Definitely.
00:23:11.69\00:23:13.29
What if I do it like this?
00:23:13.32\00:23:15.42
That's even better.
That's a little machine.
00:23:15.46\00:23:16.93
You remember
when we used to have--
00:23:16.96\00:23:19.53
And do that and
then we just lick it off.
00:23:19.56\00:23:21.16
And we used to my
brothers and stuff,
00:23:21.20\00:23:23.37
we always used to
fight for the little,
00:23:23.40\00:23:26.57
I don't know what
you call those blades
00:23:26.60\00:23:27.94
or something like that?
00:23:27.97\00:23:29.30
The mixer. The mixers.
00:23:29.34\00:23:30.67
So here we go, we mix that well.
00:23:30.71\00:23:32.04
Right. And then?
00:23:32.07\00:23:33.41
Then we are gonna
combine our dry ingredient,
00:23:33.44\00:23:36.28
I mean our wet
ingredients in something else.
00:23:36.31\00:23:38.21
So, I have here coconut milk
00:23:38.25\00:23:41.08
and this is 5
cups of coconut milk.
00:23:41.12\00:23:43.99
So it gets it nice and creamy,
00:23:44.02\00:23:45.42
gives it that real
nice coconut flavor.
00:23:45.45\00:23:47.89
This is a heavy
hitter so-- Right.
00:23:47.92\00:23:50.16
I think of cool, you
were gonna mention something,
00:23:50.19\00:23:51.86
a cooler idea is to take
the small dry ingredients
00:23:51.89\00:23:54.13
and put them in a
larger wet ingredients. yeah?
00:23:54.16\00:23:56.97
So we're gonna add our
salt... Let me grab a spoon.
00:23:57.00\00:24:02.00
We're gonna add our
coriander and cardamom.
00:24:02.04\00:24:06.78
Traditionally,
you know, in Jamaica
00:24:06.81\00:24:08.71
we use our
allspice or cinnamons,
00:24:08.74\00:24:10.98
they are good alternative
00:24:11.01\00:24:12.71
is a little
cardamom and coriander.
00:24:12.75\00:24:15.68
Cardamom and
coriander as well. Right.
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.49
And we'll use the
cardamom and coriander
00:24:17.52\00:24:19.55
in place of cinnamon
00:24:19.59\00:24:22.69
'cause you know the allspice
is just a mixture of what,
00:24:22.72\00:24:24.96
a nutmeg and this and that.
00:24:24.99\00:24:26.86
And so as you see right here,
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.23
this is what the coriander
00:24:28.26\00:24:29.60
and a cardamom
looks like a little bit.
00:24:29.63\00:24:31.27
You see that in
comparison as well.
00:24:31.30\00:24:34.34
So that's something
that you can use there.
00:24:34.37\00:24:36.94
Simple item as you see
the cardamom and coriander.
00:24:36.97\00:24:40.74
Okay? Coriander, right.
00:24:40.78\00:24:42.38
And we have our vanilla extract.
00:24:42.41\00:24:44.71
All right, so
the vanilla extract.
00:24:44.75\00:24:46.11
We're gonna add that.
Alcohol free of course.
00:24:46.15\00:24:47.72
Alcohol free of course.
00:24:47.75\00:24:49.08
And then we're just
gonna mix it together.
00:24:49.12\00:24:51.49
Okay.
00:24:51.52\00:24:54.46
And get that all kind of--
00:24:54.49\00:24:56.62
You gonna get that going
so we have quite a bit...
00:24:56.66\00:24:58.46
We'll pour that, now the coconut
00:24:58.49\00:25:02.23
will be good for us of
course but too much of it
00:25:02.26\00:25:04.50
you're adding
our extra blessings.
00:25:04.53\00:25:05.97
Extra blessings.
00:25:06.00\00:25:07.34
So that's why when
you do this, you share it.
00:25:07.37\00:25:10.37
You don't sit in
and eat all by yourself.
00:25:10.41\00:25:12.51
You gonna share those blessings.
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.14
Oh, this thing
is thick and heavy.
00:25:14.18\00:25:15.64
Just get it all
mixed in. Okay, I'm ready.
00:25:15.68\00:25:22.02
But it gives it that real,
nice, creamy, coconut flavor.
00:25:22.05\00:25:27.36
Oh, oh, I'm making a mess.
00:25:27.39\00:25:28.72
That's all right.
We are in the kitchen.
00:25:28.76\00:25:31.29
Wow! This is how they make that.
00:25:31.33\00:25:33.83
And we always used
to have this as dessert.
00:25:33.86\00:25:36.16
And I'll just wonder why
was it so thick and creamy.
00:25:36.20\00:25:38.73
What did they do?
00:25:38.77\00:25:40.10
They normally
use a coconut, yeah?
00:25:40.14\00:25:41.47
But there will be a lot
of sugar that they'll use.
00:25:41.50\00:25:43.67
Right, what you
can also do is add
00:25:43.71\00:25:47.14
a little water if it's...
00:25:47.18\00:25:50.41
Not. Is that too thick?
00:25:50.45\00:25:51.85
If it's too thick,
add a little water.
00:25:51.88\00:25:54.35
Yes, I'm gonna add
a little bit a water
00:25:54.38\00:25:55.98
because coconut tends to swell.
00:25:56.02\00:25:58.32
Ooh!
00:25:58.35\00:25:59.69
She is giving me a
workout here today.
00:25:59.72\00:26:03.06
You'll find that. Okay.
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.39
Just adding a
little water is fine.
00:26:05.43\00:26:07.80
Let me get all my
coconut out of here.
00:26:07.83\00:26:10.23
And then I'll mix that up then
I'll put it in a baking dish.
00:26:10.27\00:26:13.17
I think you
have that dish, yeah?
00:26:13.20\00:26:14.67
Yes.
00:26:14.70\00:26:16.04
So it has to be
like a kind of a liquidy,
00:26:16.07\00:26:18.57
not tool liquidy but--
00:26:18.61\00:26:19.94
Not too liquidy, but you also
don't want it to be too stiff.
00:26:19.97\00:26:23.75
Here it is.
00:26:23.78\00:26:25.28
And then what's
the last step here?
00:26:25.31\00:26:29.65
The last step is
we're gonna add it to our...
00:26:29.68\00:26:34.22
Our baking
dish. Our baking dish.
00:26:34.26\00:26:36.52
All right, so I'll just
take this and pour this out.
00:26:36.56\00:26:39.19
Yes, just pour it out.
00:26:39.23\00:26:40.66
Did I do a good job
mixing? Yes, you did.
00:26:40.70\00:26:42.56
Good job, Nyse.
Oh, man! Thank you.
00:26:42.60\00:26:46.03
So here it is, we have that--
00:26:46.07\00:26:47.97
We take that and put
that in oven for how long?
00:26:48.00\00:26:50.54
Well, we're not quite
done yet. We're Not yet.
00:26:50.57\00:26:53.07
We still have some other
items that we need to add to it.
00:26:53.11\00:26:55.58
Okay.
00:26:55.61\00:26:56.95
I have raisins
coated with flour.
00:26:56.98\00:26:59.38
Okay, so-- Unbleached flour.
00:26:59.41\00:27:01.32
All right. And you add that--
00:27:01.35\00:27:03.49
You're just gonna
sprinkle it on top.
00:27:03.52\00:27:06.32
And then this?
00:27:06.35\00:27:07.69
And then we're
gonna sprinkle the--
00:27:07.72\00:27:09.49
Some coconut shreds
on top. That's how it is.
00:27:09.52\00:27:14.60
So this is just a
little extra touch to it.
00:27:14.63\00:27:18.10
All right, so
this is pretty good.
00:27:18.13\00:27:21.87
Now hopefully,
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.24
this won't take long
'cause I'm about to eat.
00:27:23.27\00:27:24.61
And you said that you
already made some, huh?
00:27:24.64\00:27:26.14
So we'll take
that, put that in a oven.
00:27:26.17\00:27:27.84
We'll put that in the
oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
00:27:27.88\00:27:30.68
And then you have another
one with the Grater cake finish.
00:27:30.71\00:27:33.05
And then I will
pull out the other one.
00:27:33.08\00:27:36.05
And this one you did up
nicely, let's just try--
00:27:36.08\00:27:38.25
Wow!
00:27:38.29\00:27:39.99
This is what I'm
talking about. The Jamaican--
00:27:40.02\00:27:43.06
You're making
some Jamaican desserts.
00:27:43.09\00:27:45.66
Donna, this looks great.
00:27:45.69\00:27:47.50
I can eat this
now, yeah? You sure can.
00:27:47.53\00:27:49.43
Very good, so I have
that, I'm gonna go ahead
00:27:49.46\00:27:51.47
and I'm gonna
cut this pie as well.
00:27:51.50\00:27:53.74
Cornmeal pudding at home.
00:27:53.77\00:27:55.44
Jamaican what
you making. Enjoy it.
00:27:55.47\00:27:58.11
