Art Cooking: Frida Kahlo | The Art Assignment | PBS Digital Studios 

I really can't get enough of this Art Cooking series. It's such a succinct and accessible way to talk about the lives of artists and how we can all make our daily tasks more beautiful and enjoyable. And your humor and frankness about what you forget or are not sure of how to do is really heartening and inspiring. It reminds me that all the merit goes to those who do things, imperfect as they may be. To have long tablecloth evenings, one must roll up one's own sleeves, shabby as they may be. Or to put it more succinctly: It's been a rough week, and this video brightened it considerably. Thanks for everything!

I love the "wack the nopales" part. I'll try this at home.

Tips for anyone who wants to cook this and suffer less!! Chiles rellenos is the only dish i learned from my grandmother and is DELICIOUS. When it comes to cleaning the chiles, first of all, wear gloves. Cause if theyre spicy your hands WILL ache. Then after you've toasted them, run them through water and rub away the skin. If you toasted them enough, this should be an easy task, just be careful not to rip them up. Then to remove as many seeds as possible, dip them in water! As for the broth... well, my mom tends to use more water and also blends the tomatoes first. But i can never wait for the broth so its really not necessary.

"monster onions we have in the US bred by experts at Monsanto" lmao

Well, as a Mexican I love this types of videos, the pronunciation isn't even bad, I bet most people complaining would speak worse english/french/german or whatever other language. I've seen that attitude on Gordon Ramsay's videos too, that attitude is really annoying, but it's nothing personal, people are just that sensitive about food I guess. Personally I loved the video and I'd love to see more like this !

"you'll notice that our menu today is vegetarian, and that's because we're still making amends for our horrendous futurist meat sculpture" oh my god the narrator is hilarious.

Sarah thank you his is so heart warming. I am from Mexico, actually from Puebla where chiles poblanos come from. In Mexico when we have a party we say "estamos de manteles largos". It was a nice first try, very close to what we do here. But the tomatoes part is important for the nopales salad. Nice sauce and Chile's rellenos. Love the art assignment. Big hug from Mexico from and art history student and fan of your channel.

This was incredible!! Ok honestly, my favorite thing about this series has been the element of humor and invoking the joy of cooking. I love that all the mistakes or forgotten things are mentioned and not hidden, and I love that Sarah narrates tasks like "and then go look back at your cookbook" in the same style as a recipe. It's so much fun and personable!

the first time I saw a Frida Kahlo painting was when I was around 4 years old snooping at my mother's books. It terrified me. They still terrify me, but now I understand why they appeared the way they do. They evoked feelings so intensely; thus, making the viewer empathise greatly. Thank you for this. More power to you!

Haha "We're weeping as much or more than these coconuts she painted in 1951." Leave it to The Art Assignment to make cooking funny AND educational in the same sentence!

This video absolutely made me realise how I learned to cook as a teenager (apart from being forced to cook because I grew up in a family of eight, at which point you really just have to learn via osmosis). My sister received the book Like Water For Chocolate for Christmas, and I became obsessed with it. As a white Australian teenager in the early 90s, the closest thing we ever had to Mexican food was a terrible version of nachos, so I knew nothing about the foods or many of the ingredients in the book, but I internalised every recipe at the start of the chapters and tried to apply the techniques to the food that we did eat. Obviously I adopted that book as my own (fancy words for "stole from my sister"), and have brought it across the seas to my new home in Ireland. I think I might pull it out this week and give it another run in the kitchen. Yum.

As a Mexican living in Canada I really appreciated this video. Plus it made me very hungry. Thank you guys ❤️

8:03 "hi camera, you're doing a great job" I DIED, this is the most educational yet entertaining and funny cook show I've ever seen

Also, great job on your spanish. It might not be perfectly enunciated, but the effort and the respect you feel for what you talk about really shines through! ❤

Love these videos! Three of my favorite things, food, cook, and art!

While there are many cooking channels on youtube, I have to say that I've never had an art lesson while learning how to cook. This was an excellent episode.

I love this series so much please don't be discouraged by mean comments

"sad broth is sad" hahahaha

Your meta commentary is hilarious. You are a little funnier in each video than the last. I love it.

There's a lot of rudeness happening in the comments and it makes me kinda sad. I for one appreciated the cooking. I don't think I'd have the patience to cook this, but it looks great :)

The futurist meat sculpture will haunt this channel forever

Love this series, especially how it provides a different kind of context for the lives of the creators. Been thinking a lot about the things people surround themselves with and how making your world beautiful, even in the face of great sadness, can be much more valuable than it may seem.

"until they look good and smell very tomato-y" my approach to cooking tbh

Love the Monsanto dig, absolutely splendid.

pronouncing dulce the italian way hurt my soul, but this video is so enjoyable, it makes up for it

I'm still loving these art cooking videos! I enjoy both learning more about artists I already know about (or new ones I haven't yet heard of) as well as the entertaining commentary from Sarah. Exploring an artist by their taste in food/their book of recipes is an oddly intimate but really fascinating way of getting to know them better.

A trick to non slippery goo-less nopales is to cook them in copperware a good alternative is to use an old copper penny (cleaned and sanitized of course) and put it in the pot when blanching the nopales. Youll have perfect nopales every single time.

This is my FAVORITE series on RU-vid! It inspires and educates me so much! Thank you!

I "singed up" with The Art Assignment for videos about art, not cooking. Boy was I wrong! This series is just plain fun and totally worth watching. Thanks for surprising me.

The pan whacking killed me!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I'm a millennial so I'm not allowed to eat avocado... It makes me entitled or something.

i watched this three years ago and today revisited - what a pleasure, thank you for all the help

i love how she's inspired by YSAC. they're both my favorite youtubers.

You have no idea how thrilled I am to see this. I've been fascinated with Frida Kahlo's work and life for years. Seeing her as a focus for an Art Assignment episode made my night. Awesome job, that meal look so delicious!

This was super cutely brought! Had a hearty chuckle a few times. Thanks for making this, it's a lovely window into the personal lives of artists we adore.

I don't always tune in but was thrilled to see the episode about Frida. There isn't enough about her out here on the internet and I am so glad you all made this video. Great work.

This was such a Nerdfighter video, thank you

Im in love with this series. Book suggestions and a look at art through different mediums and processes, a look at artists and the food that fuels their thinking... so great!

As a Mexican and taking painting classes since 3rd grade, I always knew who she was, but I didn't know any of these. Thank you

This series is both beautifully informational and absolutely hilarious. Awesome job Sarah!

Quick tip for roasting the peppers, place them on a comal (translation: a smooth stovetop griddle). Gets the same effect, can roast more than one, and don't have to struggle with turning them.

Pro tip: When you are cleaning your chiles you can use a spoon or a butter knife to clean the chiles, is a lot faster and don't let them too much time to steam or they are going to be more soggy and they are going to break more easily with the filling. Great video :D

Loooooove this art cooking series, especially with the added bonus of Rosianna!!

I'm obsessed with these videos

I love these cooking art videos, they're so fun to do at home!

i cackled at the lil futurist cameo. loving this series so far!!

I'm thoroughly enjoying the cooking/art videos. Thank you for the fun narration and demonstration.

I was in a humanities class once and the topic of the day was Diego's murals. When his picture came up I said "Oh! Frida Kaho's husband!"

I watched this before and watched it again when it popped up in my recommended. The YSAC reference made me feel so s e e n :'DD

I love watching and learning from The Art Assignment. In addition to appreciating all that you do, Sarah, to create these interesting collections, today I learned that I need to be tipping like 30% at my favorite Mexican restaurant for chile rellenos from now on cause they are a production to make.

I've been meaning to check out Art Assignment for ages and I'm so glad I finally did. THIS COMMENTARY IS EVERYTHING

I LOVE Frida Kahlo, The Art Assignment and YSAC!

Never been a huge fan of Frida nor chiles rellenos (born and raised in Mexico) but this was mesmerizing to watch!

“Monster onions we have here bred by Monsanto” lol I love it

These videos are so fun to watch.

I really really love this series, and I look forward to more of it in the future :)

WHY ARE THESE NOT MORE VIRAL 😍

This is one of my favorite serieses ever! Art and cooking are my favorite things to do.

Watching you cook gives me hardcore anxiety lol No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade, but I was worried for your fingers and rubber tongs

This was such a fun cooking video. And I love the way you wove the art history in with the cooking instruction.

Yesss you suck at cooking is my fave!! You guys are too, it's basically art history /blended/ with food network. I go to an art school and if I had a choice I would live a sedimentary life style and just watch cooking shows all day, everyday, for the rest of my life, so this series is so perfect for me!! If I wasn't so completely broke I would Patreon in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work y'all!!

When you roast a poblano it should be so sufficiently blistered that the skin wants to slide off on its own.

This video was absolutely great! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for making chiles rellenos, which is a very tedious process of work, yet very delicious outcome! I can't give you any tips on how to make it easier or faster because I haven't done them myself, I just know they're really good! And please don't listen to the comments about the accent, I'm Mexican and I'm not even a little bit offended or any of that crap, on the other hand, I'm very proud and happy that people from other cultures appreciate mine and take the time to investigate more about it and share it with others. And I'm sure Frida would be too. Greetings from Guanajuato, México!

I love these videos. Art and cooking what the artists have eaten. It's just so fascinating.

Me gustó. Soy mexicana y lo hicieron bien. Saludos desde Cancún México.

« from what i learned from ‘you suck at cooking' » hahah, great channel! this makes art cooking even more entertaining

This is such a wonderful and well thought out series. Can't wait to see what comes next!

I really enjoy your blending of art with other disciplines as well as providing context for the time in which the work was made. We need more of that in art studies. Keep up the good work! :)

the pronunciation of pan dulce... shivers

ahh i dont think ive ever felt so excited seeing something in my subscription box!! ❤️

my favorite series

These are the most amazing videos. They must take absolute ages to make, and I'm so thankful that you all are taking the time and energy to create them! So, so wonderful.

I love the Art Cooking series.

just in case anyone wanted to know, it is pronounced "chill-ay ray-ahn-ohs" chile rhymes with billy, and rellenos should sound like the 'o' in ghost, and the double L is always pronounced as a 'y' in spanish great info, looks delicious!

Love all the comedy, just what I love in a recipe

I loved the jab at Monsanto

As a Mexican and a huge fan of Kahlo all I have is...YEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!

These videos are my favorites!

Pan Dolce? Not Pan Dulce? 😂

I'm a simple man, I see nopales and I watch the video.

it's beautiful that one of her last paintings said, "viva la vida".

I love the self deprecating verbs!

My favorite artist and the one I identify the most with as well. I really hope you opened your windows when roasting those peppers lol

Loving this series. Forever my favorite RU-vid channel.

You know this is so werid but I'm Haitian and I felt as if the food you were making would be something my grandma, mom or aunts would be cooking in the kitchen for dinner all the frying, boiling, chopping etc... I'm not a cook lol but it reminded me of Home it didn't feel different! Loved the vid!!

I came here to make mean comments about insignificant details of the cooking process or your cooking technique - but the commentary is just too good. How to defeat mean commenters? give them Mexican food!

Just discovered this series. Super funny! Love it!

Hace un mes que fui a Mexico y lo extraño mucho con este video Nunca lo he probado (solamente los chiles rellenos) pero parece muy rico

I am mexican and I have to give you props on cooking something as close as possible to a mexican plate there... you even have fresh nopales 😲

This is my favorite series! Great work Art Assignment!

I have waited for this one for so long!!!!

this is my favorite series on this channel!

Oh my, that bit with the pan! I completely lost it (and nearly sprayed water all over my monitor). :D Also "Hi camera..." What a hilariously great episode. I really like the idea of getting to know an artist through their cooking, and getting to know the food itself is equally wonderful. Loving this series! (And loving the thought of duck mole... I've got to try my hand at making that sometime :)

im going to make this tonight for my family

The commentary on this is so hilarious!

This made me feel very hungry thanks from the UK

I feel like a collaboration with Binging with Babish would be gold.

Great video! As a vegetarian, I appreciated not having to fast forward or skip any parts :)

Thank you for these videos, they really broaden my mind and inspire me for ideas about my own content creation. Your edu-tainment is top notch!

There is a great mexican film called: "Frida, Naturaleza Viva" I recommend watching that if you wanna know more about her
