Most superheroes wear capes or have an icon….. Andy, he has the infamous black shirt.
But not all capes wear a superhero 😂
haha this is awesome!
I have that same shirt!
Nick DiGiovanni is the Robin to Andy's Batman as he wears the same thing.

Andy, you are fast becoming my favourite UA-cam chef. Very relatable, simple yet delicious looking home cooking. Keep it up!
Thank you!

@@andy_cooks Came here to write exactly the same thing. I cook for myself and many recipes on UA-cam are just a bit too complicated or have a few too many ingredients to be worth the effort and expense, but these look delicious and achievable for someone with my limited experience. Thanks Andy, keep it up!
Andy makes everything look so easy to prepare and cook
thank you. i hope it helps with your meal planning
haha I know, don't even get me started on how fast he sliced up that chicken thigh while also talking
Hey Andy really love this one. Perfect balance of professional expertise, relatability and practicality. You are so likeable! Much love from Canada
I really appreciate that, thank you!
😊
Couscous the food so good they named ot twice
👌
Watching this in the middle of the night. This made me hungry
I'm not a chef, but I have some culinary training, and I just love how you explain what you do in each each step. Instead of saying "cook on medium heat" you say WHY. So important!

Watch this guy regularly now, good recipes, presented well, no fuss. He seems like a proper chef who provides recipes we can all do fairly easily. Keep those videos coming. Hope to see longer ones like this over the shorts.
Andy and Ethan C are the best cooking UA-cam channels. Practical recipes real cooking an no excessive annoying edits. Love Ethan’s deep dives too
Ethan is a legend!
Joshua Weissman is good (8 mln). and Andy ofcourse
When you see a renowned chef making the mistake of the undersized pot, it helps a lot taking the pressure off when you're in the same position. Thanks Andy! :)

Nice 👌

Can't wait to try the Romesco Andy, thanks for these mate! You always motivate me to cook
Thanks legend. Romesco is such a good sauce to have in the fridge!
I love Andy’s cheerfulness while cooking and delight when the results are good. I’m smiling the whole time I’m watching 😊
Being an Aussie it helps tremendously that you use proper measurements. "Fahrenheit to celsius converter" would have to be my most googled thing.

Well thank you Chef Andy!! I always struggle with what to do with leftover chicken, these are great recipes for that.
And remember we can't have Babe upset 😂
You guys are awesome Chef thank you and the Babe ❤️
Thank you!
I just love andy's cooking. Aussie cooking is all about freshness and simplicity. Australians are lucky to have the freshest seafood, lamb and beef, and many aussie chefs use elements of thai and malaysian cuisine by incorporating sweet, sour and spicy flavors into every dish. This is what makes the aussie food scene truly vibrant, and Andy emodies that. Cheers Andy, keep up the good work.
All three look delicious! 😋
It's hard to pick a favourite
@@andy_cooks That's when you go Harry Potter and say, I'll take the lot! 😁 Thank you and Summer for introducing me to new-to-me-recipes. You guys are awesome! 💙
I just made the Pan-Roasted Chicken (Thighs), Couscous Salad, and Romesco, and it was delicious! Thank you so much for your content, Chef Andy! It's helping me not only be able to cook healthier for my family, but it's also helping my build my confidence in the kitchen with your easy to follow recipes and general approach to cooking. Much love to you and the team for all of your hard work.
Thank you Andy. You make it look so simple. Looking forward to your next one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Chef you are too good and my best ❤
Thank you!
They are brilliant Andy. The chicken and couscous salad looks like a ripper!!!
It is a good one 👌

Very much enjoy your videos and especially the interactions with wife and friends. Thanks again!!!
Mr Andy Cooks ….thanks for your time and great recipes
Those recipes looks incredible, could I get a beautiful recipe for Borscht please? Thanks Chef Andy!
I love the “Shorts” with Babe! She eats so well!
Thanks! We'll get here on one of these longer videos soon!
Andy as always you make it easy for a bloke like me to look good in the kitchen. I have never made pesto before I have always purchased it. I have added the pesto chicken pasta to my menu this week. You made it look easy and if I can pull it off within a half hour. That will be a game changer for me. I spend way to much time in the kitchen.
You've really won me with these 3 👍👍👍👍
It’s great to see talent people with real passion for their craft get the recognition they deserve

Andy. It’s so transparent the way you love food and the crafty art of cooking you pour into all you do that is simply almost impossible not to follow you. I just hope I could ever see you cook with one of our most Argentine ingredient: DULCE DE LECHE. That would rock my world!! Thanks. From Buenos Aires, Charlie

Only thing I’d do differently is with the curry dish. Fry up your dry spices in only before adding the other ingredients. It helps those spice to bloom and have a deeper flavour. My Guyanese mom always said to do this to take the greenness out of the curry spices.
These are seriously awesome videos, I need them.
Brilliant!
Much appreciated video. Thank you
Chef Andy is the best! Thank you for inspiring me to cook 😊
Thanks for watching legend and keep up the cooking!
Love your kitchen
Love your person
Loove your cooking style
❤️ 😍
yep, by far the best chef to watch, love your work mate
Thank you🙌🏻

Fantastic video!
Andy, you're making great videos with easy to cook recipes for home cooks. One of the interesting lessons is how you have many things (oils, spices, vegetables) "ready to go" where you can mix them in and optimize your time.
Can you make a video on the things a home cook can prepare ahead of time to be able to mix things and finish fast?
I'd say look at whichever recipe and prep accordingly as it always changes
Great ones! Thanks!

Good stuff Andy
Love this guy. My favorite UA-cam chef. I'm going to try that first pesto and make it for my wife.
If you’re learning how cook this is a great video to start with!
He’s a professional so obviously he knows what he’s doing. But he’s SHOWING the little steps that make a great home cook. Boiling the water first, properly oiling the pan the cooks the chicken, TASTING THE SAUCE, and adjusting. Adjusting a recipe to fit the ingredients you have, using the old lemon in the fidge. Like these where all leasons I had learn the hard way. It took me years to learn what he shows in first 5 minutes of this video!
absolute banger, the romesco sauce is a must try!
Everything looks great but my favorite is the couscous salad. Looks so delicious.
Oh yeah, that's a good one 👌
Absolutely love this channel! Making me wanna cook all day everyday 😁🤘🏼
