Cape Verdean CusCus!!! 

I love cuscus. Not long ago I was in Cape Verde. I like your work. Very good. Love and respect.

When I was a kid I ate some cuscus dry without milk and I almost choked to death lol. I used to chill with my grandmother, watching her make it in the clay pot. Miss being a kid. Thanks for the video/memories

Love this!

my mom was watching this video and she literally laughed she found it very cute. she's from fogo. she said she has four kids that live in boston and thanks to you they are going to the love the cus cus. she would like to see more of the cape verde dishes.

Trying with my father in the morning. Can't wait!! Thanks for all your help

I didn't even knew they had special pots to make this in... almost everybody I know makes it in a flower pot as well as in Holland as in Cabo Verde.. but it's great to see this I'm gonna look for a double boiler like that

Love it... Love it about time someone did this....

i hope with this hiatus that you've been working on projects. People actually miss you ya know! lol, good to see ya back.

Looks great! Thumbs UP!

It's so nice to see you back Ilca!! The cuscus looks really good. and you look gorgeous as always!

Thank you!!!! I am CV. This is wonderful. Reminds me of my Grandma...

Just love this girl

Thank you for coming back - missed you. Luv - L

Thanks.. It's nice to finally see someone use measurements.. Any time I ask someone they just tell me to judge it. Although I've never seen it made in such a small portion so I'll be sure to double or triple those measurement and hopefully one of these cape verdean shops have that double boiler because I don't want to go through the hassle of relying on someone else to supply it haha. Thanks again!

I love cuscus, I trying to learn how to make it.

Soooo proud of you to share cape verdean food ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is the name of the boiler pot you use 💓💓 looks delicious I bet its great on A new England winter mourning

My mother used to cook cornbread, then the next day we'd have a dish of cornbread and milk. I used to love the cold milk with the hot cornbread, sprinkled with sugar. I had to eat it fast before the milk got too warm and the cornbread too soggy! It was delicious. A dish of black people in the Southern states of North America

Thank you for watching and supporting Island Cuisine!! I hope to see you often. xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Hello friend!! Thank you for stopping by Island Cuisine!! My mother has always used a cuscuzera however, I have an tia Gabriela and she makes her cuscus in pots de barru. I absolutely LOVE her cuscus. Her pots de barru make cuscus in less than five minutes! I will make them in those pots in one of my later videos. Next time I go to CV I'll look for them. Don't forget to stop by for the new Halloween videos. xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Where can I buy the double boiler? Amazon is way too expensive Brazilian Cuscuz Rochedo Pot Cookware - endysdreams ~$149US

Wow that is actually a canvas painting I bought at Sukupira in Santiago Island, Cape Verde. I absolutely Love shopping at Sukupira. Make sure when you go bring a local if not they will try to hike up the prices. I always bring my cousins or a family friend, they always want to give me a higher price lol I have to bargain with them! Thank you for watching and supporting Island Cuisine! Come back often, and I have new videos coming for Halloween. xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Obrigado. I'm going to try this. To bad we dont have almond milk in the Netherlands.Hopefully I can find a pot. My mom makes it in a flowerpot ontop of a can..

Thank you!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Hello Eli, thank you for watching and your support! Sorry it has taken me a long time to reply. I don't know where they sell them in CA but I now they have it in the East Coast (Boston, Brockton) where there are large crioulu population. Do you have family back east? Or maybe I should bring a few with me the next time I travel to CV and do giveaways. xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

But in Cabo verde we do it on the binde cuzcuzeira is in Brazil.

Thank you!!! Did you enjoy your cuscus? xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Thank you Ana Paula!!! Beijosss querida!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Thank you

Muito Obrigada!!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

I haven’t had CusCus since I was a child before my mamai died. Watching this made me tear up. Thank you! I live in LA so now I have to find where I can find yuca flour cuz I’m pretty sure that is what my mamai used. She would have her sister send her yellow flour in a bag from Cabo Verde and she would use this flower pot looking thing and seal the openings. I wish I had paid better attention back than to see what she was doing.

Muito Obrigada Prima!!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

You didn't mention how long to cook it?

Obrigada Querida!!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Bu ta tem sempre um bocado li na Island Cuisine! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

I have a question about the cuscus. Why did you decide not to mix The cinnamon into the flour?

i didnt know that a lot cape verdean people lives in america. I tough the most are in holland.

hahahaha bu ta tchoman di cota!!! Ami e ka kota nao, ami e sempre jovem!!! Ma li na Island Cuisine um ta fazeu tudu ki bu gosta!! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Obrigada pelo comentario! xoxo IdeallyILCA :D

Hello dear lovely cuscus can you tell me please how long i must let in steam?

I never knew you could use a double broiler that's way easier I do the authentic way and use a flower pot

Obrigada pela sua visita a Island Cuisine!!! Sim com o vaso e a mesma coisa mas demora menos tempo de que com a "kuskuszera". Mais uma vez obrigada, espero verte sempre aqui no meu protal. Beijossss, xoxo IdeallyILCA :D
