I’m not Haitian but my hubby is and he’s really enjoying the food I’m learning to cook watching Lamise’s videos. Your recipes are authentic to what I’ve tasted at my in laws homes and Haitian restaurants.
I'm not Haitian but my children are and I love learning different ways to cook and my kids love their haitian dishes. So I want to to make these delicious dishes for them. Thank you for the tips, appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am part Haitian and grew up eating all the delicious food! Thanks to you my Children will get to experience this food too.
My new favorite youtube cooking channel! I know how to cook a lot of Haitian food because my manman did not play with me on Saturday mornings lol, but there are some things I didn't learn too because I was trying to be American. Unfortunately diabetes caused my maman to be blind and she stopped cooking. Thanks you can I pass on many of our recipes to my daughter and what's awesome is you have actual measurements. Sorry if I am fangirling!
I usually dont comment on you tube but your videos are amazing! Very simple to follow. I'll try your spice that I just made for the first time with my dishes. I'm not Haitian but my husband is and I love the food. I cant wait to surprise him. Keep posting simple cooking techniques. I look forward to viewing and trying something new.❤👍💃🍷
I’m excited I found your channel, I’m a reg white girl but love all cuisine. Especially spicy.. Saw your Haitian spaghetti and I was drooling. So smart the epis all those veggies and spice together in a paste type , in a jar? Who knew? lol I’d like to add cilantro?? Now tomorrow I will make the epis then the spaghetti! And more! Going shopping. OMG thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos! I am not Haitian but I have learned to cook Haitian food watching your videos. Thank you I’m a big fan I watch all your videos!!
it looks delicious ! do you know Maggie cubes contain msg mosodium glutamate. it gives me headaches and I was told it's very bad for you. with all those lovely seasoning you add have tried cooking without it?
That was proven not to be true, though it can cause headaches. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/20/why-americans-still-avoid-msg-even-though-its-health-effects-have-been-debunked/
Never added cloves to mine....heres a friendly tip I strain mines and put the water in a bottle to save for my soup broths and rice and save the (Ma) left over chucks (forgot the english word for it) ..for sautee'ing ?? (-_-) my beans, etc. looks good mama
Merci I been trying to make some myself for awhile and my aunt’s are the cooks in my family lol 😂 I will be DEFINITELY WATCHING ALL YOUR RECIPES bonjour Avec ou 🙏🏽
Great video...I never knew leeks could be used in a seasoning so thanks for that...I notice you didnt use an acid . eg lemon or lime does that mean the colour will change over time? No problem....love the video and thanks for the teaching.
this really looks very good and I also heard you say that you can add other things to it I love spicy and my children do too so I think I would also put in a couple of Scotch bonnet peppers and maybe some cilantro and also I'm asking you if you do not freeze all of it how long will it last in refrigerator because I want to know how much I should stay in the refrigerator without it going bad thank you so much
+anita lawson Hi Anita, I usually keep enough in the fridge to last me about 3 weeks, some people might even keep it in the fridge for a longer period. Yes you can definitely add scotch bonnet peppers to it, or any other spices. I have little kids that's why I didn't add any hot peppers. happy spice making :)
Hi Lamise O, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned to make so many Haitian dishes from you. You only showed three leeks but listed 6 on the ingredient list. Which is it?
I will try this, I made some before from someone else video it was also good, I'm sure this will be also. do you have a bullion video, I love hatain food ,♡♡
I add water to mine and I've never had an issue, but my aunt only adds oil to hers. Its totally your own preference. I do freeze most of it though...Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I’m African American and I’m in ❤️❤️❤️with your videos so helpful. I just ❤️Haitian food and now I can TRY making so of them. Thank you so much for sharing.
MoeMoe you sound really stupid. Where is it written that YOUR WAY is the "real Haitian way" as opposed to the "Haitian American way???" There's no REAL, WRONG, or RIGHT way to cook a recipe. You make it your own. Please, for the sake of not embarrassing yourself in the future, learn to actually THINK before posting. It's obvious your brain needs a good workout....🤦🏾♀️
I know this is an older video, but could you please tell me the type/brand of blender you use? I just tried to make the epis, but my blender won't even budge unless I cut the leaks SUPER tiny. Thank you!
I no longer have that blender. I’m currently using a Hamilton brand blender and I love it. I have to say I start with the chop option then purée. Thank you for watching!
Hi Lamise, Your video is awesome. Thank you so much for caring to share the great skills you inherited from your ancesters :-) I am a lover of good home cooked food that is prepared from natural raw ingredients. I am of West Indian (Vincentian and Grenadian) parentage and have been making a conscious effort to omit as much additives from my meals as possible. I love your home made seasoning which is very similar to what we (my family) make using the food processor (that way we are not compelled to adding the water). God bless you abundantly and thank you so very much for sharing, inspiring and teaching many of us how to fall in love with cooking delicious tasting food :-)
This is why I love sharing my recipes, because of sweet , kind people like yourself Hazell77. Reading your comments gives me so much courage to continue this RUclips journey. I greatly I appreciate your kind words! #mycaribbeanladies
Thank u Lamise O . I love ur channel. I'm Cape Verden but I swear I should have been hatian. I love hatian food more than my own. Ur channel has taught me so much. Ur recipes are easy and delicious.
I will make it with garlic, clove, black pepper, scallion,persil+persil, but absolutely no bell and habanero peppers or Maggi by doing so I will keep it as true haitian mix.
I tried to search for chicken maggi cubes online but the wrappers do not look the same. I found a brand on ebay called El Criollito Maggi/Bouillon Cubes and it is the exact size and shape as what you are using in your video even though the wrapper does not say maggi. is Maggie cubes just a generic name that you call this type of bouillon Cube?
Hiii mwen fenk suscribe nan chanel ou an men mwen pa pale anglais siw te ka fè bèl video sa yo an kreyòl li tap yon bèl travay nan kominote ayisyen an.
THAT was a lot of Black Pepper, hahaha! I thought you were gonna make all of that. You should try using ice cube trays and fill them up with your spice, freeze them and use as needed. Just an idea...
Sorry if I confused you! whatever I have listed in the description box is the exact amount I used. I blended some off camera as well....didn't want to bored you cause with the blending process. I just listed how much I used, but you can definitely use more or less. Thank you!
I’m not Haitian but my hubby is and he’s really enjoying the food I’m learning to cook watching Lamise’s videos. Your recipes are authentic to what I’ve tasted at my in laws homes and Haitian restaurants.
I'm not Haitian at all but I am enjoying watching and learning from you. thanks!
Thank you for watching love!
I thought I was the only non Haitian one watching 😂
Im from Puerto Rico and I have lost of Haitian friend d I love there food
I'm not Haitian but my children are and I love learning different ways to cook and my kids love their haitian dishes. So I want to to make these delicious dishes for them. Thank you for the tips, appreciate it.

No need to be sorry sis! Me reading the comments is the best way for me to connect with you all. Thank you for taking your time to share with me ❤️
Fun fact, this spice is completely vegetable and natural seasoning based! So it’s super safe to use!
I usually dont comment on you tube but your videos are amazing! Very simple to follow. I'll try your spice that I just made for the first time with my dishes.

Welcome to the channel love! Hopefully you'll find all you need in the channel.
Lamise O thank you, I’m very excited...
Old peanut butter jar? Just like my mom does..totally legit.
Its awesome right. Ive used old p.b jars for change but seeing her do that opened a whole new world lol.
That's how I do it and now my daughter is doing the same. it's funny how we pass things down to our children unaware of us doing so.
Pls how long can we keep this in the fridge? Great video by the way!
Thank you for helping me connect to my distant heritage 💜
Girl you just saved my life! Do you have healthy versions of Haitians recipes? I just discovered your page.
Thank you so much for your videos! I am not Haitian but I have learned to cook Haitian food watching your videos. Thank you I’m a big fan I watch all your videos!!
Thank you so much! I deeply appreciate the love and support!
it looks delicious ! do you know Maggie cubes contain msg mosodium glutamate. it gives me headaches and I was told it's very bad for you. with all those lovely seasoning you add have tried cooking without it?
same. i do not use them at all.
It wouldn't be Haitian with out the maggi
I think we can use other chicken bouillon cubes. I use an organic one without sodium.
That was proven not to be true, though it can cause headaches. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/20/why-americans-still-avoid-msg-even-though-its-health-effects-have-been-debunked/
Love this recipe, I will definitely be making this. Thank you
Thank you!
Never added cloves to mine....heres a friendly tip I strain mines and put the water in a bottle to save for my soup broths and rice and save the (Ma) left over chucks (forgot the english word for it) ..for sautee'ing ?? (-_-) my beans, etc. looks good mama
Made this today using the water for the first time, thank you for posting your videos they're very helpful
Merci I been trying to make some myself for awhile and my aunt’s are the cooks in my family lol 😂 I will be DEFINITELY WATCHING ALL YOUR RECIPES bonjour Avec ou 🙏🏽
Oh wow. I had no idea leeks were just giant scallions.
They are not but they are all related to onions.
Am Trini we have been doing that for many years, living up here does our own recipes every two weeks.
I am from Botswana and i love haitian food and i love your channel. I am going to make this spice
Thank you so much for easy to follow cooking recipes and styles ! I am Haitian and I'm so proud to watch you ! 👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉❤️❤️
Great video...I never knew leeks could be used in a seasoning so thanks for that...I notice you didnt use an acid . eg lemon or lime does that mean the colour will change over time? No problem....love the video and thanks for the teaching.
Love this reminds me of my moms cooking! We out here bout to make my own!
Very good! I have only ever made the yellow epis, so it was great to see how to make the green epis.
Thank you so much for sharing! I just made a big huge batch to marinate the beef for Bouillon Bouef! Love your videos!
Finally got some time today to make this so excited to do all your great recipes!!!! This smells amazing mixed up!!
Thank you for watching!
Do you ever put hot peppers in your spice? If you did how much would you suggest, and what kind (Scotch Bonnet?)?
Is that stored in the fridge and for how long does it last?
Simple instructions. Thank you so much for posting the ingredients to your video.
My dear Lamise I like the way that you made haitien spice but I prefere to blind everything with olive oil instead to add water.
Thank you my dear!!
this really looks very good and I also heard you say that you can add other things to it I love spicy and my children do too so I think I would also put in a couple of Scotch bonnet peppers and maybe some cilantro and also I'm asking you if you do not freeze all of it how long will it last in refrigerator because I want to know how much I should stay in the refrigerator without it going bad thank you so much

Thank you for taking the time to show us!
Spice homemade !!!! amazing!!!!Daphne😍😃🍷💃👏💜
Thank you so much for making these videos! They're awesome. The food looks so tasty!
Thank you for watching!
Did you use all 6 leeks or can I just use 3
Hi Lamise O, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned to make so many Haitian dishes from you. You only showed three leeks but listed 6 on the ingredient list. Which is it?
Thank you so much! I actually used 6. I wanted a little extra more to freeze
Sorry for the confusion!
How long can you keep it in the fridge and freezer?
I will try this, I made some before from someone else video it was also good, I'm sure this will be also. do you have a bullion video, I love hatain food ,♡♡
yesss I so appreciate your videos thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Are cloves essential to the spice? Not sure if my supermarket has them?
If I want to use green scallions instead of leeks how many of scallion stalks do I use
Omg so glad you made this video🙌🙌
question about epis. I was told that adding water will make it spoil faster to only use oil to preserve it? help
I add water to mine and I've never had an issue, but my aunt only adds oil to hers. Its totally your own preference. I do freeze most of it though...Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Summer Joseph she cook like a American Haitian instead of a real Haitian way they way I do things
Oil or vinegar
I’m African American and I’m in ❤️❤️❤️with your videos so helpful. I just ❤️Haitian food and now I can TRY making so of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

+Lamise O how long can it last in the fridge
1 month.... I usually freeze the rest. Thanks for watching!
+Lamise O I found the video, thank you!! Sorry to bother you.. ☺ 💕
Thank u Lamise O . I love ur channel. I'm Cape Verden but I swear I should have been hatian. I love hatian food more than my own. Ur channel has taught me so much. Ur recipes are easy and delicious.

Hi, how long can you keep it in the refrigerator for?
How long does it last
Hi,
How do you freeze your Haitian spices? Do you put them in an ice cube tray and simply freeze them, or is there a special method?
I usually freeze mine in a container, but you can definitely freeze them in a ice cube tray. Thank you for watching!
one if the videos from u I binnn waitn for
+Ashara Major Am glad I finally have it for you :)
Really nice, thank you for sharing.
+Lippie 143 Thanks for watching love!
can i add vinegar or lime juice instead of water? Because this is what i usually use
you could try. I've never added vinegar of lime because I don't want my rice to have the acid taste. I use this seasoning in my rice and beans as well
Some add these things if they are going to use it on meat only.
What flavor cube did you use?
I love your videos thank you so much
How long is it good till it spoils ? And how long will freezing it make it last ?
It should last a month or so in the freezer. I have some that I've been using for about 3 weeks in my fridge
Thank you for posting this video!
so how long it will last I will try that soon
Love your videos But you don’t use black pepper Why
I tried to search for chicken maggi cubes online but the wrappers do not look the same. I found a brand on ebay called El Criollito Maggi/Bouillon Cubes and it is the exact size and shape as what you are using in your video even though the wrapper does not say maggi. is Maggie cubes just a generic name that you call this type of bouillon Cube?
yes it is. Maggie is basically chicken bouillon
How much Thyme do I put in? Does it have to be Freash Thyme?
Thank you for the receipt for the Haitian spice! God bless!
Love it 👌🏾
+Dieulene Previlon Thanks love!
thanks I'm going to try this out
What kind of blender is that?
How long can we keep epis in the refrigerator?
you are clean in cooking
Thank you very much!
what flavor are the Maggi cubes I have to buy them online.
Chicken flavor
good job
By the way, I have with great delight subscribed to your channel :-)
Thank you so much for subscribing! :)
I am not ashamed of the g

video Kreyol yo ap vini sou yon channel Kreyol mwen ap fe. mesi anpil!
Looks great! Where can I find leeks at?
Roc Hart in the produce isles of any grocery store. Next to the green onions.
what kind of camera do you use?
+belledamebebe Samsung HMX-H204 Full High Definition 1920x1080 Camcorder. I try to record doing the day as much as I can. :)
What type of Leak is that?
How much skinny leaks to use since I don't have access to big leaks?
You can use as many as you'd like. 5 bunch of the green onions should give you plenty of epis. Thank you for watching!
I do it and its perfect thank u
your epis look more normal I like it better this way then the other one I've been watching
Thank you! Not one person will show me how to make this
how long does it last in the fridge?
Mąríæ Vïllärręal Hđż as long as you want it too it doesnt matter
Forever! Lol
What do you freeze it in???
A container or glass jar. An old peanut butter container or plastic Chinese soup container will do fine as well.
Do you freeze it or put in fridge
I keep enough in my fridge for a couple weeks and freeze the rest. Thank you for watching!
Great idea
+Life as Risper Makes the cooking process easier, when I do this ahead of time :)
Good job
+Sabine Floriant Thank you!

did you use all three leaks
yes I did.
THAT was a lot of Black Pepper, hahaha! I thought you were gonna make all of that. You should try using ice cube trays and fill them up with your spice, freeze them and use as needed. Just an idea...
Gina Pocan good idea
Gina Pocan that would be a lot of ice cube trays lol. My family would you the ice cream containers.
Gina Pocan.
Where can I put this spice?in fish or all the food ?thank you
you can use it on pretty much anything. I use it on all meats and fish and even make my rice and peas with it. Thank you!
You never put in the fresh thyme.

Wow merci 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Mmmmmm. Going next to my sofrito
how long can it last?
KJOSEPH63 2-3 weeks
I saw that you had 3 leeks and 3 garlics in your hand but your recipe calls for 6 leeks and 2 garlics. Do I stick to the recipe list?
Sorry if I confused you! whatever I have listed in the description box is the exact amount I used. I blended some off camera as well....didn't want to bored you cause with the blending process. I just listed how much I used, but you can definitely use more or less. Thank you!
Okay awesome. No worries on the confusion. Gonna try to make this by this weekend. Wish me luck lol.
Good Luck! I'm here if needed lol
Lamise O with the leeks...do I use the whole leek or chop off the very top rough parts?
I cut the top and the ends off.
How can I make this but cut the recipe in half? I don't need that much.
What is Clove?
Nnena Nmecha jirof
You should sell this on a website.
Me and my grandma make it
