      The intro of her book talks all about her philosophy behind this. She was always the kid asking “but why?” in school and was often met with unhelpful adults that gave the whole “because I said so” spiel. Now, as an author and teacher, she actively tries to foster curiosity in her audience and include all the “why”s behind what she does. I think it makes her one of the most helpful and engaging food hosts out there right now.

  • @KahlevN
    @KahlevN 26 днів тому +38

    100% agree on the vinaigrette ratio. The ones I see most people in the US using is wayyyyyy too much oil and not enough acidity. Then you have to use too much dressing in general to get the flavor boost you want, so the salad ends up goopy. I much prefer a thinner but more impactful dressing that I can use less of to get a bunch of flavor. I do anywhere from 50-70% acid depending on the dressing, but never anywhere close to the only 30% that a lot of dressings recipes seem to recommend.

    • @Laogeodritt
      @Laogeodritt 24 дні тому +1

      For blanching and boiling, it might be helpful to consider that most of that salt stays in the water that you throw away. You want to salt the water pretty heavily so that enough of it ends up in the food (which like Sohla mentioned also depends on how long you're blanching/boiling).

    • @joeellison4677
      @joeellison4677 21 день тому
