I’ve recently had the opportunity to be around a bunch of people who are just very passionate and very knowledgeable about food and I realized that like culinary school is great formal training is great but I always learn the most when I’m just cooking with people for example I learned you can melt anchovies into any fat of your choice from a girl when she was just hosting a dinner party I also learned from an ex-boyfriend’s roommate that the reason our food doesn’t taste as good as restaurant food is cuz we’re not using nearly enough butter I learned from a chef friend off duty to ditch your serrated knife and just use a sharp chef knife it’ll cut your bread better I like to think I learned from myself that using your hands to flip your bread is totally okay until you need your tongs I watched somebody fry Rosemary and they said as soon as you hear it stops sizzling that means the water’s out and it’s ready and perfectly crispy and I learned from more Netflix TV shows than I can count that lemon um acid always makes something better I guess we have some mosat to think for that and I’ve also learned from all the kitchen scraps I’ve eaten that if it’s an acceptable side dish it’s also an acceptable toast which fully makes it an acceptable feel

  1. I can't cook…. but this little essay really inspired me to appreciate and learn more from all the people around me❤

  2. There’s a huge difference between cooking as a job and cooking as a passion

    At a restaurant you’re constrained to what the menu is. At home you can literally pull out what you have in the fridge and say “we can make this work”

    ^learned that from my sister who’s a professional Michelin chef. However, she just… doesn’t matter what my parents have in the fridge she will find a way to make it work

  3. I love you soo much and every time I see ur videos it reminds me of my Gmail who loved cooking but is now gone

  4. Serated blades help a lot with light and fluffy breads. But for a nice and hearty bread, you just have to get through its crust without smushing it

  5. You actually don't really need to add fat to anchovies in my experience, since they already come in oil you can just sizzle them at medium temp. If it's for taste then yes, add your fat of choice but it's not absolutely necessary

  6. Samin nosrat has definitely taught me a lot more than any family member 😅..
    Or maybe I listened cause everything was so passionately shared and the visuals 😊 ..

    But you must also see cooked .. Micheal pollan did the same as samin nosrat! ❤

  7. … Unless you have too much acidity and cannot taste anything else, like in a tomato sauce 🥫 — a minuscule 🤏 of baking soda will sweeten and balance it. Apple butter needs it for sure.

  8. New sandwich unlocked! Looks delicious, surely smells amazing. And I agree with your philosophy regarding cooking. 😊

  9. The thing with serrated knifes is that people don't replace or sharpen them often enough because it's difficult to sharpen serrated blades. Most people generally don't sharpen their knifes enough.
    All sharp knifes work better than dull ones that's just logic and has nothing to do with serrated or not.
    People sharpen your knifes.

  10. I know why its done. I know that your hands are very likely clean. I know that even if they arent clean, youre likely only cooking for yourself or loved ones who dont mind.

    But BOY i always absolutely hated the whole "squeeze a lemon over your hand and let the juice drip off your hands into the food" thing 🤢

  11. This entire video is outstanding. You should turn this into a weekly series or something. The music. 🎵 The mood. Your voice. Outstanding and impressive work young lady!!!💙👍🏽🩵🙌🏽🤘🏾👏
