honestly her MIND! If she were a white dude she'd be running some pretentious high concept restaurant where she would have gone "yeah this weird brownie licorice is good enough to serve" and be charging like $80 a plate for it.

For anyone who misses Claire and/or Carla both of these people have their own UA-cam channels. Claire's is called Dessert Person, and for Carla's i'm not sure of the exact name so just search Carla Music and it should come up. Edit: I almost forgot. Sohla has made appearances and babish's food channel
Same the channel is not the same anymore. I get the cast was not diverse and there was issues under the cameras, but the chemistry between cast you could not fake that. The new people just feel forced in a situation and just there to add diversity.
Sohla really needs her own show making experimental innovative versions of traditional foods. EDIT: So this comment is even more relevant now after the controversy in BA. I sure hope Adam's resignation will allow more diversity and creativity into the channel and the magazine. Much of it is already working and I hope they would not ruin those as well.
And then telling us all about the failed ones! Who doesn't want to hear about how she came up with the idea for brownie licorice (or licorice brownies)!
Chris: nothing fancy, I'm not trying to fry something, I'm not trying to rewrite the rules, okay? Sohla: Today I'm going to transform brownies into churros. But I did try to turn them into licorice first
Chris Morroco in the Test Kitchen: a beacon of organization and calm, omniscient and omnipotent: Chris Morroco in self-quarantine: a slowly unravelling dad who, imo, needs a glass of wine and a foot massage.
The braised short ribs episode was the ultimate Chris Morocco Dad episode. Because by the end of it that glass of wine he had probably ended up turning into the whole bottle. We must protect all members of the test kitchen.
Andy: "There's already sugar in there, but I'm going to add 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar" Also Andy: "It's almost too sweet....I prefer things to be just sweet enough"
yeah, i was going to say. why.... did you add the sugar. isn't brownie mix known to be a little too sweet if anything? i think maybe just a teaspoon of molasses would have been better if he was looking for more of that brown sugar, deep/bitter taste.
@@makenzieh9922 Rappo did black face a long time ago and that resurfaced He was always a bit mean and people didn’t like him So he resigned Sohla came out to reveal that POC staff weren’t paid the same That’s basically the situation
Instead of brown sugar, add a Tbs molasses for the flavor with less sweeteness. Then some coffee. I mean, the bananas add sweetness too, you need to dial back the sugar not amp it up. I don't think he tested before making his video. Also mad at the thought of throwing away the brownie mix. You could always donate or bake for a neighbor.

Isn't that the point of being a test kitchen chef? Also I think one reason why Sohla hasn't gotten her own show is because everyone wants her help on theirs.

She's super creative! They had her do the experimental version of pasta carbonara in the "Chefs make carbonara three ways". She made a dessert with a pasta & guanciale funnel cakes, egg yolk parmesan ice cream and black pepper foam.
sohla needs a show where at the beginning of every show she spins 2 wheels of different foods and she has to turn the ingredients for the first food into the second food. like she would spin a wheel and have to turn the all the ingredients in carrot cake into like a soufflé (very mild example) and make it taste good. she can use as much or as little as she wants of every ingredient and can add any other ingredients that she needs
I can’t believe this whole time Sohla and people of color weren’t being paid ): and learning that Sohla makes only $50,000 despite working for such a major magazine in an overpriced area? That’s horrible.
John Doe like the white people were getting paid a lot more then the non white people even tho they had the same amount of skill and training so like actual racism it was pretty bad
This channel was my guilty pleasure, they made me feel apart of the family ): I'm gonna miss this amazing group. Maybe they'll make their own channel (:
Do you want to date me? Then I have to shatter your dreams: I am in a relationship with two hot women! They are also loyal subscribers of me, YT Megastar AxxL! Please don't cry, dear jannik
Isn't that literally what Rie does on Tasty tho? She's the only legit chef on Tasty and the only reason why I'm subscribed to them, plus she's both adorable and badass, so I recommend her vids lol
Really sad that BA never posted about recent events, but just left it at this vid to die. Very bad manners, unethical and incredibly disrespectful to the former employees
It's really disappointing that a source of feel-good escapism is just as subject to pedestrian prejudice as anything else today. Sohla has been a bright spot for so many people and it saddens me that she was put in uncomfortable situations with insufficient compensation for our entertainment and your "diversity."
A lot of people don't realize how ingrained racism is in our society. Not just America, but Europe as well. White people think they own the world. They don't. Edit: not all white people obv. I'm saying the powerful ones. PS. Me white.
@@dxcSOUL I understand the cynicism but accepting this as a blanket reality really undermines the idea of holding these companies accountable for these systemic transgressions. Saying "that's the game" ignores the fact that it doesn't have to be. I was naive not to expect it but that doesn't mean I'm resigned to seeing more of it. We'll always be between a rock and a hard place until we break out a chisel and start somewhere.
@@McOwenWilson Duh, rich or privileged POC exist. Doesn't negate the effects of systemic racism and the overwhelming privilege we get simply by being white. Anecdotal "evidence" wastes everyone time.
The fact that Conde Nast RATHER just let them quit and hire more POC for less money, instead of just PAYING THEM A FAIR WAGE speaks volumes. The fact that you even rather just ruin your reputation like this, let half of your video staff quit, and stop the channel altogether says so much. You want to profit off of POCs cultures and people, but not pay them back fairly? Crazy.
You are misinformed, everyone has gotten a paycheck. Everyone has gotten their salary, the problem here is that people of color did not get paid for being on camera. Everyone NOW has been offered a contract, and they decided if they wanted to stay with the company and receive money for being on camera with their contract. Some refused their contract and decide to move on and stay with the company, while others decided to leave the company altogether. If they decide to post videos on their channel they're going to do it anyway, you're not giving them any ideas. Sorry you're so pissed off about nothing. You are just a fan, you should try to relax.
@@givememore4free I think maybe you are taking my comment too seriously and I hope you're not going around the comments section trying to start something with everyone. I know exactly what happened, so I'm not sure why you're assuming I dont. They weren't getting paid fairly for on camera appearances, they got offered a contract that STILL wasn't fair. You can check their personal IG for that information regarding the contract. Thats why they decided to leave BA video (not not BA entirely). I no where said that they weren't getting paid at all. The fact that Conde Nast still offered a bad contract instead of a fair one is still wrong. I'm allowed to be upset as a fan, idk what "ideas" I'm giving them? Unless you're reading way too deep into my comment. Fans are allowed to be upset, without fans BA/conde nast do not have money to do any of this in general.
@@heyimmomo8211 Sohla still works for bon appetit. Checkmate! If it's so racist why is she still there? Oh yeah that's right now you have nothing to say, maybe it's not as racist as you think.
Harold Henderson idk, I make cakes like every time I can so that like every other day, and only my mom likes cakes. I guess they let me do it because they know I love to bake soooo much! I do not even ask my mom if I can bake I just start baking lol. Like today I made croissants but I did not even tell anyone I was baking.
bein' stuck in the house with your kids all day every day is bound to make most anyone a lil* sassy. *the degree of sassy one becomes varies due to amount of children and their unruliness.
Zhuzh is fascinating to me. As far as I know, it's an American word that is made entirely of sounds that have no way to be written. None of our letters have any standard way to represent those sounds.
The demise of Bon Appetit was extremely disappointing. They had a wonderful diverse group of people who were great cooks and entertaining personalities. I fear that they won't be able to recreate what they once had, not for corporate owners but for the fans and the actual staff on and off screen that carefully curated such wonder shows. It would be awesome to see the entire crew break off and begin there own company, website, UA-cam channel etc and continue to create the quality entertainment and fairly treat and compensate the people behind it. I doubt this is possible and could meet or surpass the heights reached but it would be fantastic to see. I personally loved Bon Appetit, it was some of the most enjoyable feel good content I've ever seen. It had amazing hosts paired with exceptional formatting that will always hold a place in my heart...
It's so disappointing how well this channel and brand was doing and how much I absolutely loved every single person on here. If only Rapo would have been fired and everyone would be paid fairly, then this channel possibly could have survived. It's never going to be the same again, and that breaks my heart.
Chris was actually at Vogue as a scheduler, IIRC. He had chef'd during college, went to cooking school while at CN and transferred. Sohla had a restaurant with Ham, it went under, she was at Serious Eats for a bit. Bad experience there, came to BA. Molly had been a line cook, did some food stuff for movies, came to BA.
While I know there to be plenty of info for most of them if you look around online (several of them have Wikipedia pages for a place to start), I'd personally really love a mini-series that gives each a chance to, in turn, deep dive their own history and tell any funny stories or stories about things that shaped or changed them.
these videos gave me so much serotonin during quarantine. i came back to see if there were any updates but the way they've handled this entire issue is appalling. no statements, no apologies and no responsibility. it should have been easy as admitting they were wrong and compensating their staff. they obviously haven't done that and they don't want to either and it baffles me. they've ruined this entire brand now. i feel sorry for the bipoc staff but also the rest of the workers there. they are the ones who built this channel and it's such a shame they're ready to throw that away so easily.
JUSTICE FOR SOHLA!!!!!! And for Priya, Christina, Andy, Rick, and Gaby too!!! How despicable that the chefs of color on this channel, the ones who have brought so much joy and life and culture, are not being compensated for their efforts while also having to watch as their EIC does brown face and their white coworkers get paid more. Absolutely disgusting. He even mixed up the names of Priya and Sohla, the ONLY TWO South Asian girls on this channel. Things must change. We stand with you, Sohla! ✊🏽
yes!!!!! a Once BA fires Rapoport and compensates all their chefs and editors of colour, I demand they make more episodes with Sohla ,Priya, Christina, Andy, Rick, and Gaby. As a Latina im tired of rarely getting to see any of our cuisine featured on this channel!
Thank you for commenting! Its disgusting to know that Sohla was pushed in front of the camera for the sake of diversity with the promise of less pay than anybody else we've come to know and love. This isn't just about making episodes with more POC its compensating them fairly and its hiring more competent POC.
I miss them so much :( Thankfully, Babish is starting off Babish Culinary Universe with Sohla so far and I hope more of em will appear in later videos.
Cosmo is every well-meaning but too smart precocious kid trying to get through their school years without explaining to the teacher why their lesson plan is stupid. Also, he and Carla need a show.
I was really hoping she was going to sprinkle a little salt on them like everyone else, because they would then definitely be salty chocolate balls and not truffles.
"I don't have it in me today" is my whole mood when I'm cooking and would be an a amazing miniseries teaching people to cook with pantry ingredients on very little time.
Maëva B silicone moulds are actually terrible for corners. They don’t transfer as much heat as metal, so you actually end up with softer edges. If you don’t like corners, best thing would be a circular silicone mould. Conversely, for maximum corner-ness I’d recommend a aluminium star shaped cake pan.
"Digging out that first piece, and watching it get ruined you know? Then eating it like a savage yourself before you tell your family that the rest of them are ready. Right?"
I have never heard anything more relatable than these words.
"I tried to turn the brownie into licorice." Sohla can say anything and it would sound believable at this point.

I honestly thought I misheard her at first only to rewind and find out that yes, she did indeed try to turn brownies into licorice?
I absolutely do not stan that idea though I gotta say
I think she meant a chocolate confection that resembled licorice in appearance and texture. I don't see how she could do that with brownie mix.
BA: Ok, Sohla. We need you to make some food.
Sohla: Does it have to be food?
I'm amazed of how their content team is handling quarantine. This series honestly feels like an upgraded version of test kitchen talk.

Dead channel. They captured lightning in a bottle and lost it just as quickly. Shame. Half the editors quit so it doesn't even matter if they start posting again. RIP BA.
Phaethon Prime they can turn it around. Don't be so dramatic yeesh.
@Claire Praska: Just curious, who are the three chefs left?
I feel Christina never gets as much love letter compared to others.
I, however, have a crush on her and can watch her cool and soft commanding face any time of the day.
absolutely in love with christina too dude... squad.
She doesn't get enough screen time.
We Stan for Christina
Christina stans RISE
I feel like Christina and Sohla (and maybe Delaney) are the only ones I could actually stand irl
Why doesn't sohla have a dedicated segment of her being a food scientist and creating crazy new kinds of foods??
I think she is too valuable in her job of cross testing recipes.
Yes. Even if they’re fails I want to see the process
I need this content in my life.
we've seen a little glimpse of it in the carbonara video, but a dedicated show is definitely welcomed
Isn't that the point of being a test kitchen chef? Also I think one reason why Sohla hasn't gotten her own show is because everyone wants her help on theirs.
christina being the only one who got a mislabeled title card............. i'm so sorry honey you and your brownie tart deserved better
I came to say the same!
Btw Christina also deserves more attention and content! Such a big personality
@@midwestmatcha she is a bore and everyone seem to know it... Not being shady i like her But everyone kinda ignores her.. Look at what delaney said... the episode with her eating out was the worst..

For anyone who misses Claire and/or Carla both of these people have their own UA-cam channels. Claire's is called Dessert Person, and for Carla's i'm not sure of the exact name so just search Carla Music and it should come up. Edit: I almost forgot. Sohla has made appearances and babish's food channel
“Originally I tried to turn the brownies into licorice.”
I’m sorry... you WHAT?
Thank you, I was hoping I wasn't the only one that went O.O 'scuse me??
Haha, I love when Zola is experimenting!
I want to see that so badly
I literally had to rewind a little bit to make sure my brain hadn't made that up!
@@AnamiDK Sohla
That move was a stretch, but an ambitious one.
If Sohla isn’t the Test Kitchen version of Bill Nye, who thinks of licorice when given brownie mix😂 gotta love her
That’s such a great idea. Why has it not been thought of until now?!?!
She's super creative! They had her do the experimental version of pasta carbonara in the "Chefs make carbonara three ways". She made a dessert with a pasta & guanciale funnel cakes, egg yolk parmesan ice cream and black pepper foam.
sohla needs a show where at the beginning of every show she spins 2 wheels of different foods and she has to turn the ingredients for the first food into the second food. like she would spin a wheel and have to turn the all the ingredients in carrot cake into like a soufflé (very mild example) and make it taste good. she can use as much or as little as she wants of every ingredient and can add any other ingredients that she needs
I can’t believe this whole time Sohla and people of color weren’t being paid ): and learning that Sohla makes only $50,000 despite working for such a major magazine in an overpriced area? That’s horrible.
Not to mention how much more experience she has in the industry compared to ALL her peers
this is out of context but as an european considering making 50k per year to be “only” is mind blowing
They're lying

John Doe like the white people were getting paid a lot more then the non white people even tho they had the same amount of skill and training so like actual racism it was pretty bad
Chris: “Nothing fancy .. I’m not tryna fry something.”
Sohla: “Churros.”
chris making brownies early in the morning is rly a reflection of how households have changed/evolved during this quarantine
Its better to eat dessert in the morning because you burn the calories during the day rather than sleeping after wating sweets
Also they were all dressed the same as the last video. Their day must have been a long one.
Claire’s “splash of vanilla extract” is her “two shots of vodka” lmfao
And thats Molly's "A dash of salt"
This channel was my guilty pleasure, they made me feel apart of the family ): I'm gonna miss this amazing group. Maybe they'll make their own channel (:

That reminded me of my mom, it was adorable

It's really disappointing that a source of feel-good escapism is just as subject to pedestrian prejudice as anything else today. Sohla has been a bright spot for so many people and it saddens me that she was put in uncomfortable situations with insufficient compensation for our entertainment and your "diversity."
A lot of people don't realize how ingrained racism is in our society. Not just America, but Europe as well. White people think they own the world. They don't.
Edit: not all white people obv. I'm saying the powerful ones. PS. Me white.
Welcome to the world of marketing and branding.
@@dxcSOUL I understand the cynicism but accepting this as a blanket reality really undermines the idea of holding these companies accountable for these systemic transgressions. Saying "that's the game" ignores the fact that it doesn't have to be. I was naive not to expect it but that doesn't mean I'm resigned to seeing more of it. We'll always be between a rock and a hard place until we break out a chisel and start somewhere.
well said.
@@McOwenWilson Duh, rich or privileged POC exist. Doesn't negate the effects of systemic racism and the overwhelming privilege we get simply by being white. Anecdotal "evidence" wastes everyone time.
Imagining Sohla as a 4 yr old baking and singing happy birthday to herself is just beyond adorable.
Really brings out her cheerful Dora the Explorer vibe, right?
She's so adorable now; she must have been incredibly cute as a 4 year old
When she said that, I felt my heart warming. 🤣
The fact that Conde Nast RATHER just let them quit and hire more POC for less money, instead of just PAYING THEM A FAIR WAGE speaks volumes. The fact that you even rather just ruin your reputation like this, let half of your video staff quit, and stop the channel altogether says so much. You want to profit off of POCs cultures and people, but not pay them back fairly? Crazy.
You are misinformed, everyone has gotten a paycheck. Everyone has gotten their salary, the problem here is that people of color did not get paid for being on camera. Everyone NOW has been offered a contract, and they decided if they wanted to stay with the company and receive money for being on camera with their contract. Some refused their contract and decide to move on and stay with the company, while others decided to leave the company altogether. If they decide to post videos on their channel they're going to do it anyway, you're not giving them any ideas. Sorry you're so pissed off about nothing. You are just a fan, you should try to relax.
@@givememore4free I think maybe you are taking my comment too seriously and I hope you're not going around the comments section trying to start something with everyone. I know exactly what happened, so I'm not sure why you're assuming I dont. They weren't getting paid fairly for on camera appearances, they got offered a contract that STILL wasn't fair. You can check their personal IG for that information regarding the contract. Thats why they decided to leave BA video (not not BA entirely). I no where said that they weren't getting paid at all. The fact that Conde Nast still offered a bad contract instead of a fair one is still wrong. I'm allowed to be upset as a fan, idk what "ideas" I'm giving them? Unless you're reading way too deep into my comment. Fans are allowed to be upset, without fans BA/conde nast do not have money to do any of this in general.
@@heyimmomo8211 Sohla still works for bon appetit. Checkmate!

She suddenly at her mom's, I got worried about the cats.
According to Sohla’s own birthday record, she is currently 86 years old.
I have a theory that her parents like cake, alot! Why else let your child make cakes so often?
Lmao
Harold Henderson idk, I make cakes like every time I can so that like every other day, and only my mom likes cakes. I guess they let me do it because they know I love to bake soooo much! I do not even ask my mom if I can bake I just start baking lol. Like today I made croissants but I did not even tell anyone I was baking.
Sohla is a cryptid
Im still surprised a 3 - 5 year old can make cakes

Everyone saying quarantine has ruined Chris. I'm over here digging his sass and off-the-cuff attitude.
bein' stuck in the house with your kids all day every day is bound to make most anyone a lil* sassy.
*the degree of sassy one becomes varies due to amount of children and their unruliness.
Personally, I like the sassy chris.
🙌
Update: They have broken Chris. Also. Zhuzh. That's the spelling. Don't overthink it.
isn’t it tszuj?
Zhuzh is fascinating to me. As far as I know, it's an American word that is made entirely of sounds that have no way to be written. None of our letters have any standard way to represent those sounds.
I thought it was juj
mmm i don't like that
@Maria Tarek Urban Dictionary's second definition of zhuzh written in 2016 is a beautiful coincidence.
The demise of Bon Appetit was extremely disappointing. They had a wonderful diverse group of people who were great cooks and entertaining personalities. I fear that they won't be able to recreate what they once had, not for corporate owners but for the fans and the actual staff on and off screen that carefully curated such wonder shows. It would be awesome to see the entire crew break off and begin there own company, website, UA-cam channel etc and continue to create the quality entertainment and fairly treat and compensate the people behind it. I doubt this is possible and could meet or surpass the heights reached but it would be fantastic to see. I personally loved Bon Appetit, it was some of the most enjoyable feel good content I've ever seen. It had amazing hosts paired with exceptional formatting that will always hold a place in my heart...
sohla making a birthday cake everyday is everything to me
fking classic solah!
What do you mean, A birthday cake? ;)
"I don't know why my parents allowed it!" Well if I had to guess, I would say it's all those cakes they got to eat without having to bake or decorate.
"Go eat your breakfast that I lovingly made for you."
"YOU GO EAT YOUR BREAKFAST."
"Okay... cool."
years of cooking experience all for nothing
Hey.....cook for us....we are grateful!!
can I please be a kid in Carla’s house that seems like such a good time
It's so disappointing how well this channel and brand was doing and how much I absolutely loved every single person on here. If only Rapo would have been fired and everyone would be paid fairly, then this channel possibly could have survived. It's never going to be the same again, and that breaks my heart.
The language BA uses is delightfully succinct.
Molly: It may not look like much but it tastes like much.
Video idea: I'd love to know what everyone did before BA and how they ended up there 😁 maybe while cooking their fav/most meaningful dish?
This is an underrated comment.
Chris was actually at Vogue as a scheduler, IIRC. He had chef'd during college, went to cooking school while at CN and transferred.
Sohla had a restaurant with Ham, it went under, she was at Serious Eats for a bit. Bad experience there, came to BA.
Molly had been a line cook, did some food stuff for movies, came to BA.
Im pretty sure there was some small talk about what some of them did in the chefs react video. I do think a full video would be cool though
Def this. Career history. Highs and lows. Spill the beans.
While I know there to be plenty of info for most of them if you look around online (several of them have Wikipedia pages for a place to start), I'd personally really love a mini-series that gives each a chance to, in turn, deep dive their own history and tell any funny stories or stories about things that shaped or changed them.
sohla has SO many brad-type stories and is so experimental ugh i can’t wait for her to get her own show 😭
these videos gave me so much serotonin during quarantine. i came back to see if there were any updates but the way they've handled this entire issue is appalling. no statements, no apologies and no responsibility. it should have been easy as admitting they were wrong and compensating their staff. they obviously haven't done that and they don't want to either and it baffles me. they've ruined this entire brand now. i feel sorry for the bipoc staff but also the rest of the workers there. they are the ones who built this channel and it's such a shame they're ready to throw that away so easily.
Molly: [adds salt in her milkshake]
BA fans: [pretend to be shocked]

Gaby: "Let's be a little more delicate. Don't says 'balls'. Say 'truffles'."

The end of an era 😔 I miss the old ba cast
JUSTICE FOR SOHLA!!!!!! And for Priya, Christina, Andy, Rick, and Gaby too!!!
How despicable that the chefs of color on this channel, the ones who have brought so much joy and life and culture, are not being compensated for their efforts while also having to watch as their EIC does brown face and their white coworkers get paid more. Absolutely disgusting. He even mixed up the names of Priya and Sohla, the ONLY TWO South Asian girls on this channel. Things must change. We stand with you, Sohla! ✊🏽
yes!!!!! a Once BA fires Rapoport and compensates all their chefs and editors of colour, I demand they make more episodes with Sohla ,Priya, Christina, Andy, Rick, and Gaby. As a Latina im tired of rarely getting to see any of our cuisine featured on this channel!
DOWN WITH RAPOPORT
Thank you for commenting! Its disgusting to know that Sohla was pushed in front of the camera for the sake of diversity with the promise of less pay than anybody else we've come to know and love. This isn't just about making episodes with more POC its compensating them fairly and its hiring more competent POC.
One thing- Sohla is Bangladeshi, I believe!
lydia1234567 thank you for informing me on this! I thought she was Indian like Priya. I’ve adjusted my statement :)

Molly: I'm going to add a pinch of salt
*adds three gigantic pinches of salt*
Babish vibes
The salt "pinches" for a few BA chefs are teaspoons. Maybe 1.5 teaspoons.
Like Homer adding lighter fluid to the barbecue

This has "two shots of vodka" vine energy
I miss them so much :( Thankfully, Babish is starting off Babish Culinary Universe with Sohla so far and I hope more of em will appear in later videos.

When Gabby said "boozy" I heard something a bit scandalous as well.
She is a gift to the world.

“Everyone gets to eat 5 or 6 corners” - christina
Okay. As a corner-loving person.... i love this. How come i have not done this myself.
Using a muffin tin will make every piece q corner piece
I have a star silicon mold and it's PERFECT for corners. To bad I'm a center-loving person
Maëva B silicone moulds are actually terrible for corners. They don’t transfer as much heat as metal, so you actually end up with softer edges. If you don’t like corners, best thing would be a circular silicone mould. Conversely, for maximum corner-ness I’d recommend a aluminium star shaped cake pan.
as a regular audience, I feel like I lost my old friends and now I'm watching their old videos cuz I miss them.
