!!!!! Tess <333333
okay it's such a Grand Budapest Hotel vibe
Stop it stop it stop it. Bake creme caramel. Set creme brûlée custard in the fridge.
"that's how the oven comes" Tess you're a comedian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tess!!!!! :,)
go tess!!!
IM SOO HAPPY FOR TESS!!!!
This is absolutely amazing! I’m so glad to see someone like Tess getting the platform she deserves. ♥️ I also love that those little white measuring cups (the sugar into the egg yolks) exist in all our Canadian childhood homes. 😋
This host has a charming way of cooking. Thank you
I love Tess, she has a very comforting and inviting presence. Keep these coming!
Great show! ❤
1 tip, to avoid your bowl from sliding while whisking your eggs, place a damp towel o paper towel under the bowl.👍🏽
I really expected more from a Food52 content. Crème brûlée is a common enough recipe that I really expected Food52 to at least formalize the basics such as using a spouted cup to fill the ramekins (to minimize spillage), using a tea towel to line the roasting tray (to prevent slipping) and to pour the water bath at the oven (to prevent dangerous spills).
Need a Tess and William episode
What a lively and fun style, I love
Overdoing the it’s fine catchphrase is a bit contrived, hope they make it less scripted
i couldn’t be more proud of someone i don’t know 😭🫶🏻 sending love and congratulations to you, Tess!!
It's perfecttt
AMAZING Tess!!! My new favorite show is on!!!
Go Tess!!!!
I adore Tess
The New Nora Jones
Food52 giving the people what they want.
Put your bowl on a wet towel
I need the compilations of “mms”
This is the best thing I’ve ever watched. I hope this is a series forever!!! When is the next one!!??
That’s our Tess, you nailed it girlie! It’s been a pleasure to watch your journey
🎉🎉 yesss Tess!!! So proud of you. Love your content. Food52 is lucky to have you
This is the first time I’ve ever actually came from TikTok to watch a YouTube video and I’m so happy it was for Tess!!! ❤
YESS TESSS
I see Tess, I subscribe
I love her sm
oh the editing is SO good and SO tess! keep the show forever
TESSSSS!!!!
This is my first time seeing Tess and I feel like she's stepped right out of HBO's Girls
Love this and love Tess!
I could really watch Tess forever! I know every piece of content is going to leave me just a bit happier. 💕
this is so major!!!! it's so cool tess!!!!
The funniest part to me is that I've never seen Tess actually use a kitchen torch in her regular content. She's always tagging William for his industrial torch torch lol.. such a good episode, this was a really instructive watch that made me want to continue scrolling. Nailed this collab!!!
