For the Delaney restaurant series, they always insist that the crew eats the food and that it doesn't go to waste.
ok, this makes sense and I probably should've just assumed this. I guess I often don't consider how many crew members there are for these things

i almost never watch these but the one where claire tries to make her own jelly bellies was really entertaining. i appreciate that she takes a stupid task very seriously and gets genuinely frustrated when things go wrong over and over.

I had no idea this thread existed but the bf was just watching the video tour of their home kitchens and paused to turn round and go, "wait, Chris has a wife and kids?" at me and then I click here and it's a running theme of this thread
anyway I haven't explored the full, uh, Bon Appetit universe but I like the ones where he recreates dishes after a blindfold tasting and gets all the surprising obscure ingredients

I'm planning to make Molly's chicken soup today, which is p much the same as any chx soup but with pulling out the breasts earlier and adding a lot of dill. Anyway the point is to freeze it for later so I'm going the whole two carcasses and prob like 16 C of water if I can fit it in the pot.
She does it with ditalini pasta but for the g/f versh should I sub in rice or thai rice noodles? Not for the frozen tubs, just for what we're eating today.

ok I am definitely going to try to make a shrimp salad sandwich (inspired by the "pantry sandwich" home ep)
Rick's grilled cheese + spicy tomato soup/dip looked heavenly and super easy to make also

The latest episode with pantry sandwiches was extremely enticing imo

Claire opening a jar of tuna in olive oil was ADORABLE sorry but it was
Also Brad being all “yeah so I just have some elk + venison meatloaf lying around plus dome pickled vegetables I already made, I’m making cold sandwich out of that, word” i.e. “Shit, I forgot that assignment was due today”

today I made a breakfast sandwich using Cristina's techniques and it was excellent I must say, pan fried english muffins w bacon fat >>> toasted with butter

I've been obsessed with these videos for about 18 months, ever since the one where Claire and Brad make sourdough bread. I love Brad's stoner metalhead vibe, and the way the editing makes subtle jibes at his expense, and Claire's laser-guided on-it-ness. But I love em all really, though I went off Claire slightly after the Creme Egg one, because a) she hates the filling but the filling is delicious, and b) she tried to make a custard for the filling when it is not a custard, which was making my partner literally scream on the sofa next to me. The "Making Perfect" on pizza was my favourite TV event of 2019.
I wrote a thing for the Guardian lasy year on these YouTube cookery stars and interviewed Claire, and she was awesome. She is clearly pretty freaked out about everything that has happened since they started doing these videos. I also interviewed Babish for the piece, who was an absolute sweetheart, really earnest and heartfelt, and Scott Weiner of Really Dough, who really loves pizza.

Also, I swear by BA's recipes. If I have ingredients I don't know what to do with, or am looking for a recipe for a certain dish, I always check them first. We get a lot of courgette in our veg delivery, and I've been doing their Summer Squash pasta recipe to use it up, and it is delicious. And I'll second the recommendation for Molly's Adult's Mac'n'Cheese. Often if I'm cooking alone in the kitchen, I'll whack one of their YouTubes on in the background, to keep me company.

I've been into the videos (thanks to Tombot actually), but since lockdown we've actually started making a ton of the recipes, they've been great for inspiration. I think between my wife & I we've done:
-focaccia -Earl Grey tea bread-banana bread-buckwheat chocolate chip cookies-Tahini billionaire bars (with spicy additions)-spaghetti al limone (except not spaghetti, and this has really changed our approach to pasta tbh, using parmesan + pasta water + lemon for a sauce rather than drowning it in red sauce, although that's still delicious too)-sour cream biscuits-galette (used the dough for a caramelized garlic tart from the Plenty book)-maybe more things, it's all a blur of cooking and youtube

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 30 April 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
Watched the sandwich video, I'd like to make that grilled cheese w salsa.
I did end up making Molly's best chicken noodle soup. It was a perfectly fine chx soup but no more than that. It's in the freezer for future use. Also Molly's adult mac'n'cheese which I will def make again even with having to use gluten free pasta, which is not ideal. Idk what else to try next, I never did find the curry pastes I wanted, or olek sambal to make Chris' spicy pork noodles.

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 30 April 2020 19:41 (four years ago) link
Gaby was the only one who used good bread.
We definitely make stuff like Rick's soup & sandwich all the time, although imagine having the sort of approach to life that lets you use a tablespoon of butter per side for a grilled cheese.

I cannot fucking abide the cutesy editing on this show. I nevertheless made the burnt cheesecake and am going to do the choco birthday cake next. But I shut the video off as soon as it gets too much and then just go to the print recipe on the website.

if I ever make recipes from bon appetite - which I do fairly often.- I do it from the text on the website. for me the video viewing is just background while pottering around the apartment or laying on the couch too tired to concentrate on reading or watching a film or whatever.

I like sohla and Carla, I can't stand the one that has to Skype her parents (they're Indian!) in literally every video. I find most of the guys unbearable and self regarding. I watch these way too often because I have an insatiable appetite for cookery videos but my favourite of the slick glossy channels is the food 52 woman who does the genius recipes, the recipes and tips are often excellent despite her having a skin crawlingly awkward screen presence. in the earlier videos she used to always taste the recipes and then do this disturbingly quiet "mmm" that I think the producers have told her to stop doing because it creeped people out. I fully recommend Manjula (opposite of glossy!) as the best source of Indian food and also the "late night" recipes by Kenji Lopez alt (though he does them with a head camera that makes me feel properly seasick and I wish he wouldn't, on more than one occasion I've had to switch to a different tab and listen to avoid needing to lie down after).

short thread from Carla
As the former food director of BA, I didn't do enough to make sure we covered Black cuisine and Black chefs in particular, and BIPOC recipes in general. I accepted the brand's definition of what the "mainstream" food trends were. I spoke up... sometimes. I should have done more.— carla lalli music (@lallimusic) June 8, 2020
