Now You're Cooking

Приєднався 7 лип 2014
My name's Monique and welcome to my channel. I'm a teacher by day, and cooking has been a passion of mine since I picked up my first spatula! It's my hope to help you feel at ease in the kitchen, while learning how to make delicious food.
Born and raised in Toronto, I pride myself on becoming familiar with international food that reflects my multicultural city. Jamaican by heritage (and a few other places according to that ancestry DNA test I did), so if you're big on learning how to cook some traditional Caribbean meals, you've come to the right place!
I'll be uploading recipe videos once a week, if my tendency to procrastinate doesn't get in the way (you've probably noticed that it took me about five years to actually upload my first video here :P ).
I look forward to cooking with you!

I'm hoping to make this soon, thank goodness for this recipe!
You will love it! 😋
Why baking powder my Mom Never use it een my GreatGandma and their parathas are very softand 😋😋😋♥️🇺🇲🦅🇲🇺🦤
I know some people don't use baking powder (esp. if you're making roti the traditional Indian way with ingredients like atta flour). I find baking powder helps develop the pockets of air that's needed in this style of roti/paratha, and it keeps it nice and soft. It's all in the technique. 🙂
Yummmm 🤤
They are delicious! 😋
U are a very good teacher
Yummy. Thank you for sharing 🤩🥰🙏🏻
You're welcome! 😊

If you didn’t get a tawa yet, Amazon has really cool Victorian cast iron tawa and target has other great tawa too. I like your tutorial, easy and straightforward ❤.
Thanks for the tips! I'll check out Amazon for sure (and Target next time I'm in the States 😁).

Thank you for sharing your recipe that you made it looks so tasty and delicious.
No problem! Enjoy the recipe! 😁
Hey Monique--i'll give your recipe a try. It looks deliscous though. At 05:37 you can hear the Caribbean/Jamaican accent--"mash up" lol, I usually put coco-milk in my red peas beef soup---euhhmm-euhhmm good. Thanks for the upload
Let me know how yours came out! I love coconut milk with my stew peas (I've meant to upload that recipe for a long time now 🙈) Lol... The Jamaican accent tends to come through a bit when I'm cooking. 😅🇯🇲
@@yourecooking I tried your recipe and it is delicious. If one knows what they're doing--which you obviously do--then you can't go wrong with this recipe. Of course I love all the add-ins--(thyme, onion, scallion, garlic, pimemto seed, scotch bonnette pepper..) and how they form the base flavors for the soup. Thanks for uploading this recipe--keep doing your thing and I look forward to what else you're cooking.
Delicious
Thank you! 😊
I followed this step by step & they came out SOOOO great!! Thanks for the video! 😊
Awesome! Thanks... I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I watched a lot of recipes on how to make roti and yours are the best thank you making some later btw my name is daphnie I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my video for this roti recipe! Thank you so much for the kind words, Daphnie! 🤗 Means a lot coming from a Trini! 🇹🇹
Exactly how I make my roti
😊
Can you write the amounts on the recipe please.
Hi Silvia! The link with the full recipe is in the description box. Here it is in case you missed it: nowyourecooking.ca/recipe/crispy-fried-mushrooms/ Happy cooking! 🙂
I made these and they are absolutely delicious. I used curry powder instead of the paprika and they were a huge hit. Overnight "marinade" with the dry rub makes a big difference in flavor. At least I thought so.
Ooo... Curry powder sounds like a nice mix for these! If I have patience next time I'll let mine sit for a while too before cooking. 😅 Happy yours came out so well!
I made it. So good! Thank you!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Wow. That looks awesome. I can’t wait to try this!
You'll never go back to store-bought! 😁
*Hot and fresh roti from the tawa, coat with butter and dash of salt, with hot indian tea (of course with milk and sugar) childhood memories* 😄
Amazon has a 15 in cast iron tawa for $50. I bought one and it’s perfect for both small and larger roti.
Good to know! I'm still crossing my fingers for a gas stove one of these days. 😅
@@yourecooking haha. You will. I recently bought one and now waiting for my kitchen cabinets to arrive so I can get things going again lol
Same person with channel on you tube in trinidad an guyana
❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to make it this weekend
Please do! Let me know how it turns out! :)
Omg 😍 🤤
:D
I really love your videos!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them. :)
A big cast iron skillet is an excellent tawa
Agreed! Handles heat very well. That's next on my list on "new kitchen items to buy, that I probably don't really need because it can't fit in my kitchen". 😁
yummy
My favourite!!!! So happy to share this recipe in C is for Carnival!
Thank you! Grateful to be part of of your wonderful book! 📖
Thanks for sharing! Will be adding this to my list of recipes to try.
Yay! Let me know how it goes! 😀
I have to try this!!!!!! Perfect 👌🏾
Thank you so much! 🙂
The only cooking video I've seen and mentioned not to throw to much in to not lower temp. Good job
Thank you! It's such an important tip, as a lot of people end up wondering why their fried goods are so soggy instead of crispy!
Anyone who uses Panko Breadcrumbs are for the Culture Of Superior Flavor, & _Crunchyness_ ....I say this with the experinece of my eyes only.... so far, I will meet it in battle, God Willing!
lol... I love those breadcrumbs! :D
@@yourecooking I Will too! As so as I get my hands on em, Hardly likely in this pandemic...
Lots of love from India
