  3. The hardest part about this recipe is keeping Lobster until the next day. I might have to hire a guard for that.

  4. Hey Claire! Love the channel and have been a long timer follower 🙂 Question! How come we can't just cook the pasta in the stock to begin with?

  5. Hi Claire, awesome video! I had a quick question: why not just cook the pasta straight in the stock instead of in water and then stock? Thanks!

  6. I am so happy this week because I see you on dessert person cooking and on NYT baking a cake. It's like a great birthday present. By the way, I made my birthday cake with your recipe, gateau basque. You were right! Making your own birthday cake is totally fun and somehow very satisfying as well. Thank you as always, Claire!!

  7. only claire could make me, a vegetarian who never has ans never will eat lobster, watch a 35 minute video about lobster pasta and actually enjoy it i love this woman so much

  8. I haven’t even started watch properly and I have hit like. Clare Saffitz I have been watching you since Bon Appetit love what you do. Almost ready to hit the kitchen again and when I do, you will be a great inspiration.

  9. when i worked in a restaurant, i used an old wine bottle or rolling pin to squeeze out the lil leg meat. It worked really well and wasn't really time consuming!

  10. Youtube recently recommended me the gourmet bon appetit videos and realized they were all 3 or 4 years old. I used to watch them but completely forgot about them. Today, I looked for recent episodes and realized Claire hasn't been part of that youtube channel for a while. So here I am, for more Claire. I will miss the occasional; chime ins from all the onlookers and other cooks from the kitchen though

  11. Yesterday I binge-watched a lot of old BA videos with you and Brad. I just love the Odd Couple relationship you two had. Those videos are pure gold, but watching them made me kind of nostalgic and sad.

  12. Does anyone else think that shellfish stock adds such a strong “fishy” flavour to something that otherwise wouldn’t have that fishy flavour – like lobster pasta I guess? Obviously the lobster would taste like lobster but adding shellfish stock makes the entire thing taste so fishy no?

  13. I love watching you taste as you go and seem surprised at how good it is, and how in love you are with your food! ❤

  14. This cook is sooo messy. Leaving used spoon on the counter top. That bowl of stock dripping over the stove top. Yuck.

  15. Claire I would travel cross-country to eat at your restaurant!! I trust you with my life

  16. Seeing how you turn the plate while placing the pasta on it is something I will internalise and do when I serve pasta in the future xD

  17. I literally just heard today that you have a "cult following," and I felt nostalgic for quarantine, and so I watched your new NYT videos and found this channel and I can honestly say, I get it. Cult following makes complete sense. I think I love you. Thanks for making these videos!

  18. Has anyone had this with crab? It looks delicious, but I don’t have any lobster and live at least an hour away from somewhere I could purchase a couple, but I have 30 pounds of very good snow crab legs.
