Welcome to the official RU-vid channel for Emmymade formerly known as Emmymadeinjapan.
I love learning about our world through food and invite you to come along for the ride.
If you have something which you think is extra special or unique in some way, or timely for me to try, please send me a direct message here on RU-vid, or on FaceBook, and I'll see if I can fit it in.
Sadly, Matt’s is no more. Closed a couple of years ago. The nut burger was pretty amazing along with the best milkshakes and fries in the world. Greetings from Montana!
Nona would tell you to tear the basil leaves. They won’t turn black because you’re not crushing the leaves but tearing them retains their color and flavor 😊
The internet has been reinventing the wheel again. Looks delicious, but hardly a bean salad - not a single bean was added! That's an antipasto more than anything else. 😂
I may try this in the future, so I'm going to save it. The appeal for me is that I could make a salad on Sunday for lunches all week that would hold up in the fridge instead of getting soggier each day. I am dubious about the tomatoes though.
I am looking forward to making some version of this. Have black beans, chick peas, vidalia onion, roma tomatoes, red and green bell peppers. Maybe raw cauliflower too. Would even be good with other dressing.
This isn't directed at Emmy... So, this person reinvented bean salad and it's gone viral? I imagine people reinvent bean salad when realizing they have little to eat in the house and have a can of garbanzos in the cupboard.
Hi Emmy...you've mentioned a few times in the past that you grew up watching cooking shows on PBS, and I was wondering if you ever watched Gourmet Cooking with Cordon Bleu chef Earl Peyroux. I'd love it if you would try one of his recipes someday. Thanks.
It’s also about the fiber, I think some of them are less heavy on the meat and cheese, more about the veg and bean. Which is a healthy, hearty dish to have available throughout the week. I just did lentils (the ones from trader joes), cucumber, grape tomatoes, garlic, parsley, lemon, olive oil, salt n pepper.
I've never heard of this salad until watching this video. I don't understand why this is a thing. This is Italian-American antipasta salad. Go to any Italian deli on the East Coast and you'll find some version of this.
It seems as though a better name would be "sans lettuce salad with beans". That name in English sounds as if it's bean based/dense. But as someone who has/has tried to learn other languages, this is further proof English is hard to use/comprehend. Further supporting my drivel, salads are defined as "Originally derived from the Latin sal for salt, meaning something dipped into salt. Now normally a dish of uncooked vegetables; either a mixed salad or just one item (commonly lettuce or tomato). In France it can mean a small, hot, savoury dish, e.g. of chicken liver, etc." I fear for us to communicate in the future. It's hard enough as it is. 😅
Sounds good. However I think its name is a misnomer. I was expecting many types of beans. I would leave out the tomatoes if it was going to be packed up for the week of lunches as they lose their flavor when refrigerated. And basically it is an antipasto!! Just renamed.
For this to be a meal it needs some kind of grain or to be eaten with bread, and then an actual salad for veggies lol.... cute side but definitely not a meal.
My mom made bean salad for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I didn’t like it but I love it now. She also made a pea salad. Tender young peas, finely chopped red onion, a little sweet relish and miracle whip. (dad didn’t like mayo) yum.
That would be great for a party but I wouldn't make it just for me. That seems like it'd be good for 2 or 3 days max and then it wouldn't be fresh anymore.
Seems like a great snack/appetizer, not sure I'd eat it for a whole meal though. I'd probably portion them into containers and pull them from the fridge whenever I want something to snack on.
My mom had a recipe for 3 bean salad that ended up with 7 beans in it. We're Southern, but this looks Italian. Onion and ham, S&P with oil and vinegar. I don't recall tomatoes, but definitely not cheese balls or anything of that other stuff.
