  • I'm taking a short holiday break from making recipe videos to sit down and answer some of your questions. Lots to talk about including going full time on youtube, why I don't keep anything on my countertops, and more. Stick around to the end to see me do pushups?

      Absolutely agreed. The more I home-cook, the more I realize that, much as I love them all, hot sauces can totally mask the real flavor of dishes. Brian's comment on "Those are the guys who tell you your chili recipe is wrong" makes SO much sense to anyone who works hard at trying to cook from scratch and get it right. That said, sure -- I love my hot sauce. But it's a condiment, not an always "go-to." So Team Bri on this.

    • @JohannGambolputty22
      @JohannGambolputty22 2 роки тому +1

      Couldn’t agree more and with that said I have a couple friends I’ve made my chili for and they always complain it’s not hot enough as if that’s the only reason to eat chili. Then I remind them it’s why I have hot chipotle peppers on the side for their tough guy taste buds.

You've created something very unique here and with you both involved its going to grow. Fyi, thank you for being brutally honest about hot spices. I can't tolerated spicy heat and its very discouraging to see "experts" expound on the importance of spice variety and how to get the most out of them then cover it all in heat. Defeats the purpose to me since I wouldn't taste anything at that point. Thank you Brian and Lauren. Great to see you both. Have a wonderful New Year!!

    Happy Holidays and please keep up the great videos. I am a couple generations older - 53 - but cooking since I was 6. Consider myself a pro home cook, but I have learned A LOT from your videos. Except I cannot seem to keep my counters decluttered . . . Particularly like your weeknight meals series. And yes, Dr. Who is sci-fi.

    Obviously, I had to go watch the sheet pan pizza 1.0 video. Night. And. Day! Your hard work and attention to detail have made a huge difference. Aesthetically pleasing, informative, and incredibly relaxing. You two are adorable and I love your videos. Thank you.

    I’m glad you talked about the plastic deli tubs as I too have been looking for a light, stackable, almost unbreakable non-glass option. They look perfect to me! 😂

    Brian, very cool Q&A. The music of the chef resonated - I worked for several years doing kitchen prep in the morning and bartending at night at an Italian restaurant, and the head cook had a set playlist every damn morning - Def Leppard’s _Hysteria_ on repeat. The entire time. For years.
    The weekly menu / shopping list, you’re a man after my own heart. It’s so handy to know what you’re going to make each night and to only shop those items.
    We had a couple nights that were always ‘pizza night’ or ‘burrito night’, and then always had one night that was purposely blank where we could shift a day or change up what we were having, but yeah, more than one trip to the store in a week was _fail_.
    That said, when my finance suddenly passed away one morning in 2019, I fell out of the habit and have never really gone back. Cooking and shopping for one just isn’t the same.
    It’s cooking channels like yours that got me cooking for myself at all again. I was almost exclusively making heat-and-eat frozen stuff. Channels like yours reminded me of the joy in the process, and I was honestly shocked when I cooked again for the first time and how wonderful it was to have real food.
    Your hot take is spot on. Nailed it.
    Someone asked about tips for a household of two, I wanted to share my habit as I’ve mostly been a house hold of two, and now one. I try to time it so I have my groceries right before the weekend.
    On a Saturday or Sunday morning, I’ll prep for the week like you’d prep for a restaurant. I cut up all the onions, slice cabbage, marinades - whatever I can do ahead without messing with the quality of the dish.
    Sometimes I’ll even do things like cook the onions ahead if I know it’s going to be a crazy week and portion them for their dishes ahead, or even do a huge amount of them and freeze them for use anytime, just like making a load of homemade stock and freezing it in portions or cubes. These days I’m just prepping a mis en place for the week and make whatever I feel like at night since I don’t meal plan for one. It’s a nice little gift to yourself after a long day.
    And while we’re talking about prep - I’m also on the plastic deli tubs. They stack & store small, share lids like you say, they’re killer for freezing stock and other stuff you prep, they’re much cheaper than the glad/ziploc, and they’re reusable. The glad/ziploc stuff can’t touch them - they change their design all the time and the lids from old ones don’t even fit the new ones, never mind how they don’t fit across sizes. Deli containers rule.
    All desserts are guilt free. You could be dead tomorrow. Enjoy the dessert. (Just don’t eat an entire sheet cake or something 🙂 )
    Dinged-up kitchen floors are blessing. It’s a workspace and once they’re dinged-up enough, they all match, and you won’t worry about it again. 😀
    Last note: Bri, you’re cool and all, but Lauren is super cool, and you’re totally punching above your weight luring someone that awesome into your life. Go easy on her Christmas stuff. 🙂
    Off to watch the original Sheet Pan Pizza video on repeat.

    Even though your recipes are a little too ambitious or complicated for me at times I always learn something new. Knowing you spend up 30 hours in the editing process alone - mad respect! ✊It reflects in the quality of your content.

    One of my favourite things you ever said, and I think this was back in the weeds and sardines days, was "just use your stand mixer" while making some bread dough. People always swear it has to be by hand. Since switching I've been enjoying it more, baking more, and have had some amazing sourdough loaves come out in the process. Loads of trial and error, but they were all still tasty enough loaves.
    Thanks.

    LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for the content! Fellow STL native here. I am in the midst of a 2 month pizza extravaganza trying to figure out the intricacies of pizza and bread via your videos. I am proud to report that your recipes are amazing and we've had some damn good pizza. It's getting better every time. Finally, the question - any chance you will be doing any videos for toasted raviolis? Typical STL comment, I know BUT, I think they're REALLY good when done well. Again, thanks for everything, hope you keep doing this! Cheers!

    Brian and Lauren, I don't often comment. Your channel is amazing. These are the highest quality videos for cooking that I have seen. I've been watching since the "W&S Days" and I have to say that all of it has been entertaining and helpful. I think the first video I watched was Sheet Pan 1.0 and even that one hooked me immediately. Recently, I have my kids watch a video and recreate the recipe as a group. Having these helpful videos for my teens has been a blessing. Thank you for all of your hard work. You are the Cooking Rock Stars!

    Your take on recycling is mostly correct. Plastic recycling often doesn't pencil out financially and plastic bales often end up getting treated like other waste.

    Hi y’all. Just came across your channel and love it. Love the happy dancing especially! lol I am currently trying to make the ciabatta bread and it was too wet. Used 4 % protein flour. So thankful someone asked the question about that. I just ended up adding more flour and letting it proof a few more times. In oven now! Oh and made the mistake of setting oven to 450 instead of 480. It looks good so far. Leaving in oven till it good and brown. Thanks for the great videos. Happy new year to you both.

    I have been here since, not the very beginning,, but definitely early in the Weeds and Sardines days. So, yeah, the production quality has gone up but I have a real affection for some of those early videos. I think it was the chicken salad sandwich video that made it clear to me that you knew what the hell you were doing and that this was channel worth watching. Thanks, and keep it up.
