    what's wrong with drinking at 11 am? especially when you're about to start cooking? ;p you should have asked the dear sir to join you. drinking alone looks like a worse thing to me than drinking at 11 XD

    I love that you shouted out Mike G! Pro Home Cooks is my favorite YouTube cooking channel and I think I found yours through a click out from there (I kind of hope y'all are friends). I love your videos so much and while I'm just a vegetarian, your recipes get me closer to vegan all the time. Thank you for your amazing videos. Your techniques and endearing goofiness keep me tuning in.

    So fast! We wouldn't mind if you went more slowly, really. It is a pleasure to see you cook. And an even bigger pleasure to see your parents! (Sorry, not sorry!). It is difficult to find affordable yellow raisins or sultanas that don't have sulphates in them, btw. The stew looks delicious. What is the difference between Indian chili spice and chili spice that's just labeled "chili" ?

    Hi there… new subscriber here. I just wanted to let you know that I came here from Immy’s channel (Sustainably Vegan). She raves with mild exuberance about your channel and your recipes, and after looking around here in your content, I must say that I can see why. This was a super informative video… I learned a lot of very subtle and interesting things. I never knew about caramelizing tomato paste. That’s a good one!! Unfortunately, here in 🇨🇦 we cannot get tomato paste in a tube, only in tins. I think the tube is much smarter and more practical. Great video, and I’m uber-excited to see more awesome recipes and content here on your channel. Thank-you!! 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary

    An overview for all ten techniques:

    0:31 1. Mise en Place: prepare what you need before you start cooking
    1:24 2. Use whole spices and toast them (with or without oil)
    2:42 3. Cut veggies to size – a size that fits the cooking
    3:38 4. Salt as you go (makes vegetables brown faser and much more)
    4:33 5. Caramelize tomato paste
    5:28 6. Deglaze the pan (with either a van or wine if you don‘t have that much time and energy)
    7:03 7. Balance the flavors (sweet, sour, hot, etc.)
    7:52 8. Add fat for texture and flavor
    8:14 Book „Salt Fat Acid Heat“ by Samin Nosrat
    8:52 9. Use fresh herbs
    9:18 10. Add a source of acid before serving (maximal impact when added in the end)

    Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve learned so much from you. Due to health reasons I changed from being a major carnivore to vegetarian and slowly making the transition to vegan. I appreciate your explanations and the thoughtfulness you put in for your viewers. You help give me the confidence I need. Thank you again 🌻

    I started cooking with whole spices because of you and it has been a game changer! It's made cooking so much more fun and I love the flavor they bring. Thanks so much for all of your advice and recipes!

    I take the contents of a can of tomato paste and put it in a ziploc baggie. Push it down to form a tube, and freeze it. Then I just cut off what I need and thaw. The can and baggie recycle, the tube does not. And I honestly can't detect the metallic taste when it is mixed in with everything else. Just make sure the can is BPA free and it's cheaper than the tube.
