@kf4744 8 лет назад

Awesome video. Recipe 4 was awesome. Most people love to complain about cost when it comes to food as the reason they buy processed but the real reason, and I think we all know it, is they don't want to waste time with food. Which is a shame really.

@serinad9434 6 лет назад

Also, I would love to have had that much time and these kitchen facilities when I was working in an office! Many people would be lucky to have a microwave. I've worked in places that just had a kettle and a small fridge. I don't know anyone who could do this regularly unless they worked from home and didn't have children.

# 5."Using a weak fork and unstable table"....had me in stitches, Brilliant!

@novazeros 8 лет назад

One of my favorite of your videos so far! Interesting dishes and approach to cooking. I agree with the the person below that the convenience is why we buy apple slices and premade sandwiches, but as a money concept this was fun to watch

@TommyLightfoot 8 лет назад

Many more people need to know about this channel, your videos are always fun to watch, and super informative in a way that a lot of cooking channels are not. I am able to assimilate a lot more technique from you than typical cooking shows since you tend to explain some of the nuance and reasoning behind your decisions. I appreciate your approach and your energy. I'm going to continue to share your videos often =)

@FrenchGuyCooking 8 лет назад

It's great that you felt that

@TommyLightfoot 8 лет назад

+Alex French Guy Cooking absolutely =) every time I watch another of your videos I am inspired to do something new in the kitchen. like just recently I bought some Apothecary Drawers to organize my spices in because that was such a wonderful idea. I have them organized by region, I cook a ton of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods.

@ahuse1 7 лет назад

This was very cool, but it seems like you missed the point of why people eat those awful lunches--- a lack of time, not money. This lunch does not solve that problem. I'd like to see you do something along these lines, but making everything ahead of time, or how to make different portable items, or how to make a weeks worth of lunches from one set of ingredients...

@maxguichard4337 5 лет назад

Amen, would love to see that as well.

@raphaelbonobo 5 лет назад

From my point of view, I would tend to think that's it's not really the lack of time but rather the lack of time given to the activity of cooking. As long as people consider cooking as swappable with other activities, they will keep on skipping it. Cooking takes time, not a lot, but it does and therefore require to give up on some activities. I like Alex way of showing that cooking can bring exciting and good things in your life :-) I answer a year after your comment but I felt compelled!

@tissot233 5 лет назад

But if it was not lack of money then you would be able to order and pick up something much more healthy than what shown above. Of course I'm not saying person can't have lack of time and money. But I have to say that I agree with Monsieur de Bonobo on it being prioritization issue, rather than just lack of time. You can also get into a pretty severe downward spiral by eating unhealthy, lowering your energy levels and feeling like you have less and less of available time.

Great lunch! If I was to pick a criticism (very hard to do), people buy that food because they don't have the time on their lunch breaks to cook. That and most people are too lazy or don't know how to cook beforehand. Still, we do so more power to us right Alex? :D

@puggirl415 5 лет назад

It's good to see a cook choosing Peccorino Romano cheese over Parm. I love it's brighter, saltier flavor. It's such an independent contributor and elevates my dishes without losing itself in my food. Love! And you are wonderful at plating the food. It always looks exciting.

@aeszapt7631 8 лет назад

jmiquelmb consuming a larger amount of seafood - of course, Japan is surrounded by the ocean lol but "low in meat"? - not really, come to Japan and see how much meat people consume in a day, Karage (fried chicken) and Katsu/chashu are super common and popular daily dishes on every table

@aeszapt7631 8 лет назад

jmiquelmb Spain has a different agricultural background with a pretty abundant amount of veggie/fruit produce, unlike Japan, also for the Spanish diet you can see more vegetable dishes.

You might have reheated them in medium temperature water, and then put them on absorbing paper. The better, but taking more time, option would also be to let it defreeze gently outsight the fridge.

@MissingmyBabbu 5 лет назад

One awesome thing about the salad with the chicory is that, because it's a hardy leaf, dressing it before you run to lunch isn't going to make is a soggy, sad mess.

@simmimon 8 лет назад

people buy premade food because they don't have time or they just dont know how to cook. or even both.

@janetslater129 7 лет назад

Or they get lazy. I tend to fall into that category, and I get bored with the things I do make. It's like I get "stuck" in this cooking bubble, and haven't poked my out. I'm trying, though!

@flameberries3811 6 лет назад

when i hear people say they cannot cook, its like hearing somebody say they cannot count... it like... .the basics for survival and it comes naturally too... i mean i never learned cooking but i know what to do with the produce around me i may not be able to make a sophisticated meal (this is why youtube is a blessing and optional) but everybody knows what to do with an egg and a pan, or a packet of pasta and cheese etc. Therefore pre-made food is not a last resort but a choice, therefore it cannot be used as an excuse. Time is not an excuse either, even at fast food restaurants, I guarantee you that the time it takes to get there, possibly stand in line, place your order, pay, leave etc. will take longer than making an average generic meal familiar to the western hemisphere.

@Thisguy222_22 6 лет назад

+Flameberries I think when people say they don't know how to cook they more likely mean they don't know how to cook well I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to boil a cup of water and make instant noodles or pasta or make a grill cheese the real home cooking basics

@trublgrl 7 лет назад

Remember at the outdoor market, nothing stays after dark. Supermarkets have a 24 cycle when they can sell, the sellers at the market have maybe eight or ten. Anything they don't sell they have to take home and deal with somehow. Their best outcome is to sell everything, pack up only the crates, and go home and relax. If they take home food that isn't sold, it's more labor which yields no revenue. While the best produce is going to be found in the morning, the best deals are to be found closer to the end of the day. Everything is negotiable in the green market.
