"Yuh haffi put the scandal bag ova di rice to give yuh di real ting. If you're a real cook, yuh haffi know di last ting for the rice is to put di scandal bag ova it. Mi love steam fish, white rice, rice and peas and chicken. Rice and peas remind mi of a special Sunday ting growing up ... even if mommy caan find di money, she try find di rice and peas," he said.

Friends, including Lena British, stopped by to praise Ele's cooking skill. As THE STAR took a peek into the pot, Ele exclaimed, "wha, yuh a look if mi really can cook? Mi a di only artiste weh can cook rice and peas like dis." By the enticing scent emitting from the pots, it was obvious that Ele could hold his own in the kitchen.

He kept a close eye on the pot and when he was done, it was a soft and scrumptiously spicy chicken and rice and peas that was enjoyed by persons at the studio.

Ele's expression says it all, he's one happy chef as he cooks at the Q45 studio on Burlington Ave.
