  • Give Sammy credit for trying. Most men do not cook in Sierra Leone. His Mom was very proud to hear that he is giving it a try. I've been using sweet bells in my plassas since his suggestion, and find it tastes great.

  • A few notes: the pepper is from Sierra Leone (dried and ground). There are many versions of cassava leaf, but this is meant to give you a general idea.

  • Very kind. Dez is a master in the kitchen.

  • everyone who is complaining - where's your video response with another way? dis na-toh di wey we bin deh cook cassada leef weh a bin dey na kabala. but dis ya man done try oh!

  • Me as a german i like sierra leone food

  • i aint seen cassava leaf made like thst but i respect you for the attempt

  • thats the thing about africans, we dont know how to keep track of measurements. is it wrong to say tablespoon or 1 cup? i am sierra leonean, but american born and i want to learn how to make casava leaf. quantity of ingredients? or measure by taste??

  • Dan, you tried; I know you are trying to show case that, we, Sierra Leonean men, can cook. But I can tell you this is so terrible a way to prepare one of our famous dishes. The absence of a "wow" reaction from your young friends should tell you that you are still not up to the task. Get more lessons, my friend. And don't even venture to show how to prepare jute leaves (krain-krain) dish.

  • smh...this is Terrible...i can tell u r country jus by the way u served it....plz learn how to cook b4 u have people thinking this is how we all cook

  • This video made me smile. I love to see a man cooking. :)
