Sisko needs a whole section dedicated to him. His family was doing all the fine dining in Star Trek.
So soul food is fine dining now?
He cooked Louisiana cuisines (Caujin and Creole, which depending on your definition are distinctly different from soul food) as his father owned a restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Compared to the processed replicator food or exotic alien dishes not quite compatible with human tastes, home-made flavor-packed meals made by a trained hand would be a godsend. Also, don't knock good soul food until you try it...it's often better than a lot of "fine dining" out there.
@@jackyichan4759 Celtic was just being racist which is why I didn't play his game of explaining anything.
@@j.j.9511 lol. Imagine watching Star Trek and MisoHungrie while being racist
@@j.j.9511 So because a person states the soul food isn't the cuisine served at high end fine dining establishments, or more likely they simply don't like soul food, that makes them racist now? There are plenty of foods that I love, that I have to admit aren't fine dining by any stretch of the imagination.
I feel like the klingons would get offended at you putting vatran sauce on their roast but, honestly thinking outside the box is what I love about cooking, and something they could learn from.
Nah dude they'd be all over it
Fun fact. This isn't the First Star Trek Cookbook, there was a Cookbook that was released in 1999 written by Ethan Phillips and William Birnes
The Neelix one, right? Does it have Ktarian Chocolate Puff recipe? Wanted that so badly ever since I saw Troi eating it on TNG.
I remember reading that one as a kid. Always wanted to try to rokeg blood pie a la Neelix, AKA dessert pie with lots of juicy red fruit.
That’s right! I always wanted to get that one!
Think that one also had behind the scenes info on the food props too!
@crowtzilla461 it does. It also has some recipes from the actors as well. I own both star trek cookbooks
The reason they couldn't use images from the show is because none of this is from the show. Accurate Plomeek Soup is famously bland, with a thin, watery broth that's either yellow or purple, and Klingon's can't digest food that is what we would consider roasted. Just for starters.
Lt. Miso was always my favorite Star Trek character, not sure why nobody remembers him but I’m so glad you included clips of him in the video! I always loved his catchphrase “it’s all about that thumbnail, baby”
I find this immensely funny from an in-universe perspective given how ubiquitous Replicators are who can create any dish out of thin air so giving Starfleet cadets cook courses seems a bit superfluous.
Also I agree with your verdict, great idea but looks a bit sterile without show photos.
I think cooking would be a great way for crew members to share culture and reduce crew stress, personally. I know I always feel better when I cook my own food versus when I get it pre-made. :)
@@Mr-Meadows Oh definitely look at how Captain Sisko wowed everyone with his Gumbo
It's probably a recreation thing! Plus, replicator food is one thing replicated so it probably tastes like the uncanney valley of food. Tasty, but every single bean is the exact same bean ect, so real food with variations in the ingredience and process probably tastes great to them even if they are just learning! It's also cannon that most people have a replicator at least for humans so at least part of people's food seems to be replicated even on earth.
Those recipes are interesting! I even saw gagh in the pages, and i thought you couldn't make that appetising.
For those who don't know, lore accurate gagh is worms in sauce.
To make it it's literally starving the worms for a few days so they're clean of waste. Next is dunking them in the sauce to make them eat the sauce, which flavours them from the outside and the inside.
Then they're eaten as they are, per Hand. Yes, klingons as far as I know only use their hands for eating. They don't even have a Word for "bon Appetit" or anything similar. They just say "yISop". (in klingon that literally just means, EAT).
I hope the gagh is something like Udon noodles in the book! XD
Live long and prosper, everybody! Qapla'!
I zoomed in when that page came up, yep they're Udon noodles
What is "(have a) nice appetite!" but a more cumbersome version of looking someone in the eyes, smiling happily and telling 'em "Eat".
To be fair, some cultures consume worms / bugs / grubs and having an animal cleaned then gorged on a certain food isn't uncommon. Many countries have an eat with your hand culture. I don't think it's gross, just different. Well, I've never eaten it but the concept!
I’ve actually made Gagh…and, yes, it uses Udon. The Grapok Sauce, which resembles blood, uses beet juice as the base and is actually very good.
Wish I could say the same about the final dish. The meat was flavored with beet juice as well…but the recipe had us process the meat and other ingredients in it to a paste like texture and cooking it involved using a pastry cone to create “meat noodles” that were boiled in water until cooked. Very bland and only the sauce provided any flavor. Final texture on the meat was WEEEEEEIRD…
Definitely not trying THAT again.
I've made the gagh. It does use Udon noodles, and a LOT of beet juice, giving it a very earthy flavor. The final texture of the dish is honestly pretty unpleasant and it was fun to try but I don't think I'm ever going to make it again.
Vulcan Plomeek soup, like revenge, is a dish best served cold.
Or thrown across the hallway 😂
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
I'm not going to lie, that pork looked too good and was too easy, it went straight into the Spoopy Month cook book but I don't think I'm going to wait that long. I mean, pork tenderloin is finnicky anyway and then being cut like that I'm going to have to make it a few times to hone it in myself, if you know what I mean. I might swap pears for apples and break out the butane torch to make it a little sexier and get some flavor on that glaze. Also, I am making the strong suggestion to everyone try chilled strawberry soup as a dessert dish. So simple to make and so good (if you like strawberries.) And I don't think I have had a bad parfait. Good vid and looking forward to the next one!
I was immediately thinking of apples too, because I really love them with pork. It's definitely one of those 'magic' preparations where you immediately go, "That's so simple but it makes so much sense!"
Found your channel about a week ago and binged all of the cookbook reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching the videos and welcome to the channel!
Same here lol
Same haha! 😂
It’s always a delight to see you upload! It makes my day brighter 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks! Your comment made my day. Have a fantastic week!
I always enjoy your intros, nice one.
Ah I was a massive Trekkie when I was a kid, there were definitely foods I wanted to try, like the Bajoran "jumja" (which is a sticky treat on a stick), or that giant chocolate cake Counsellor Troi has in "Liasons", maybe some of the stuff Neelix made in Voyager, but I think I would definitely steer clear of Klingon food -- live gagh worms and blood wine? no thank you XD the Lingta roast looks far more appetising but unfortunately I'm allergic to pork... though you'd think a pork dish would be Targ since that's basically a Klingon pig... anyway great job once again, man.
Ktarian Chocolate Puff, that was the cake I was trying to remember! I don't suppose that was in the book?
Okay......looks like I'm gonna have to get his. Mind you my last exposure to Star Trek was years ago when my mother was alive and I was but a young child, sitting on her gigantic California Queen sized bed (seriously thing was huge) and watching the movies with her on movie night. My mom did not care for the common divide between Star Wars and Star Trek fans..she liked both, I leaned more toward Star Wars but I did have more than a few toys...my favorites of which were the Tri-corder and a teleportation placeset that used mirrors to make it look like the action figures would vanish..complete with the sound effect from the show. I already own the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge cookbook so I might as well get this too...plus that pudding looks damn good and I LOVE me some peanut butter.
Yes! More awesome content!
Live long and prosper man!😊😊

You need to try the Original Star Trek Cookbook, the one with Ethan Phillips
This actually inspired me to start designing my own alien foods. I still need to do some more studying but I understand the basics. I imagine many of the species I created, due to mostly meat-based diet cannot taste sweet.
Everything looked great, and I'm definitely trying the pork loin. Though I will be salting the loin about 45 minutes before glazing and cooking. I mean, the glaze is great and all, but salt is sort of the best friend of meat in general.
I really love all those books by Monroe-Cassel !!
They generally respect their respective Franchises Lore and the dishes are actually really nice :D
It would be cool lad, if uwould evry time do 3 recipes for dishes and one for some kind of drink that would be ideal proportion
Thaks for your videos, you inspired me to cook much more complex and tasty food for me and my family, dont know how to thank you.
The fact that the savory version of the sauce is 90% sugar and honey kinda makes me question what the "sweet" version is like.
100% sugar!!
Oh yeah! I love Star Trek!
For how simple these are they looked amazing!
Bit late for May 4th, but I will take it
another great one Miso! Man, i'd love to see you do a "Best of" video and go through recipes you have gone back too or ones you thought were just stelar overall.
I really liked your intro
I found your channel yesterday and now you're posting a video about my favorite show(s), that's great! Really neat video and it's obvious you're a meat-lover, haha.
Gotta show this video to my dad haha, he loves cooking videos and Star Trek. Perfect combo.
the pudding and the crumble looks insanely good
I have the original cookbook from back when Voyager was on TV! It has Neelix on the front 😂
Now you too can be like alternate Kirk from Strange New Worlds! Just take the plomeek soup recipe and try to figure out how to make it in a prison toilet!
I always save these cookbook reviews for special occasions. Keep it up!
As a huge Star Trek fan ahhhhhh I’m so excited to watch this! 😍
Loving the multi recipe recipes
Another awesome review! :)
Picked this one up today
I'm kind of obsessed with your content. Trying to watch all your videos. 😁 Could you revisit some cookbooks and cook more recipes from them too? Like the galaxys edge, adventure time and Avatar one?
I really wish you’d done Hasperat, I remember they mention that one a lot on DS9
I enjoyed the video man when my dad used to watch Star Trek but he’s deceased 😢
This particular interpretation of plomeek soup seems… troublingly flavourful. I always imagined it as a thick, simple but hearty vegetable soup, perhaps based on root vegetables. Parsnips, turnips, potato, or their closest Vulcan analogues, at least. The kind of thing Neelix would ruin with some smoked paprika, or Surak forbid, hot sauce.
i always imagined it as a thin, simple, vegetable broth that was nutrient rich and basically flavorless as thats how we see it depicted in enterprise but i love the idea that as the vulcans deepen their relationship to the federation and its many cultures their recipes like their culture slowly evolve with time. maybe one day ill try and come up with a 32nd century nivaran variant of this dish that incorporates flavors the romulans might enjoy now that the 2 sibling species are once more united
I wish all these books were translated in french, because they all look so great
UA-cam didn't alert me to your upload! I'm so mad!
think i'm going to put that lingta roast in my smoker.
What would make this cookbook even better is if it was in the perspective of Neelix from Voyager.
There was one like that in 1999!
@@stargirl7646 I wanna get that one
You should have said "Beam me up Biscotti" :(
That roast looks good.
I'd really love to see You cover the Call Of Duty and the walking dead cookbook
How would you have improved the pudding?
Beavis and Butt-Head would like to have a cookbook like that
Some Gagh and Alderbran green whiskey would have been great with this meal 😉
I would have thought cooking was extinct in a universe with food replicators.
8:27 So basically, Plomeek Soup is a dish best served cold.
Nice
You should have tried the Gacgh! That is one of my favorites of that book. I'm happy you tried this cookbook as I and mom are massive Star Trek.
I meant to say fans
Please Check out the FNAF Cookbook
I would wonder what magic you can cook up if you did a Lord of the Rings cookbook next ❤
Is there a Klingon Chili recipe? I'm looking for something with more bite
Hmm I don't remember seeing that but I could be wrong. My memory is terrible
Tried making Gagh from this book. The Grapok Sauce was pretty good (even if it DID look like blood), but the final result was kinda MEH…
AAAAHHHHH HOW DO I KEEP GETTING TO THESE LATE?! Dang i guess im too busy with life😢
I just found you today and really enjoy your content. There is a The Walking Dead Cookbook that I think would be fun to take a look at post apocalyptic cuisine.
I have to k ow of this book has a recipe for Klingon coffee
When are we meeting mrs. misohungrie
Does every recipe in this book have a photo?
Yup! I love that about it
I have a vintage Star Trek cookbook written by the actor who played neelix, the recipes are fucked compared to this one,
They’re bad?? 😮
@@stargirl7646 they’re just not… very good, they were written 20 years ago and I think they’re just not as refined
@@FumbleBee1312 Neelix POV and the food's not good? Well, that's Neelix.
i dont wanna munch planets
Whyyyyyy am I this late always 😢
I'd like to watch video like nukacola
Well, you definitely don't want show photos of gagh. It would just be a pile of live worms.
There's actually a gagh recipe in the book! I might try to make it one of these days lol
All alien food just being weird Earth food seems fitting, since most original Star Trek aliens are just humans with pointy ears and brownface anyway😂
I also highly recommend the Ico berry spritzer!
