Home Cook takes on Cookbook from 1914!! | Sorted Food 

"Ebbers set timer for 10 minutes." "Ebbers what is 16 ounces in grams?" Not sure about this new Alexia model Sorted is bringing out.

Jamie helping is one of the sweetest moments ever. Correction - James saying "it's really nice" while eating all of the leftover sponge is even sweeter

Jamie: I think you whip then you nay nay... I mean if that isn’t the most dad thing you’ve ever then I don’t know what is

"Omelette Norvegienne" Me: Ah, a Norwegian omelet! "Baked Alaska." Me: Yes, of course.

Mike doesn’t give himself enough credit. In the battles his dishes were often my favorites!

How about cooking from 'De re coquinaria' an ancient Roman cookbook which is available translated on Project Gutenberg? It's the earliest surviving collection of recipes from Europe.

Mike is easily the most advanced "normal", like at the end how James was giving him nuanced tips like "don't overwhip the whites before you add the sugar" - meanwhile Jaime is still stuck on "Risotto has to be stirred"

I’d actually pay for an “OK Ebbers” feature on my phone lol

Mike is sooooo underrated 👌👌 he needs to trust himself moreeee

This was a (expectedly) hilarious but (unexpectedly) endearing video! Loved the chefs softly guiding Mike to the answers in a way that encouraged him and reminded him that he does indeed know these skills and techniques. That's the way I teach my own students, and I got the same excitement and happiness whenever Mike realized he was actually doing each step correctly. Fantastic job, Mike!

Ben: Thinking Jamie is about to ask a genuine question Jamie: “Is that how you make marbles?” Ben: Has a full on malfunction

This was the most wholesome Sorted episode ever! Jamie helping, James being nice, Ben helping with measurements. It was just so nice!

8:15 Jamie: Is that how you make Marbles? Ben: *Cannot Compute* He literally broke Ben. lol

It's official. Mike is a classically-trained pastry chef. He's graduated. Jamie and Baz need to catch up.

Omg when mike said "I bring you down. I've been bringing you down for 10 years" My heart 💔💔 mike noo you're so valued

“Nice Ben, s*** sandwich. Classic s*** sandwich there.” OH HOW MUCH I’VE MISSED JAMES AND HIS SAVAGENESS

Mike: makes a perfect sponge Also Mike: struggles to get pre-made ice cream out of a tub.

Mike being so justifiably pleased with himself and the others proud of him is the wholesome content I needed today.

James just munching away at the leftover sponge is a whole-ass mood

“That’s very genoise of you.” 🤦🏻 Save it for the fridge cam, Jamie.

Check out "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy" by Hannah Glasse from 1747 - is was a bestseller in its day and is an important source for historians of British food. There is a bizarre recipe for "currey the Indian way" in it, the first british curry recipe we know of.

That was actually impressive. Barry would have made cloud eggs on top.

Oh man, Mike is so sweet and talented - although James calling him classically trained at the end was _adorable_

"How much Vanilla do you want?" "VANILLA!"

"That involves maths, so you've just made it harder" "He's not Barry!" Oof. Poor Barry. :D

“You whip and then you nae nae” Jamie, stop being such a dad

Ben was such a proud dad throughout the video, from the coaching to his small smiles. Such a wholesome SortedFood video (for once haha) !

Can’t exactly explain why, but Mike’s reaction/facial expressions while James gave him advice about whipping the egg whites was adorable. 😊

what about Dalí: Les Diners de Gala - Salvador Dali’s Surrealist Cookbook

Okay, I'm glad all 3 of them were telling him to be proud of his achievement, because out of all 5, Mike is the hardest on himself. Look at how much he was deflecting the compliments.

Me: “Comes in expecting a disaster” End of video: “HE DID IT!”

Jaime's sooo helpful: "I think you whip, and then you nae nae."

I love how this is an Ultimate Battle of Mike vs himself

James munching away on the sponge and going "it's really nice" was adorable 😂

This makes me feel like Mike is no longer a "Normal"

This gives me life 😂 I laughed out loud alone when the ice cream flung on the floor the second time

"I think you whip and then you nae nae", "that was very genoise of you" - this is why we love Jamie.

Mike: reads the title Me: oh, veggie omelette Ben: a baked Alaska *WHAT IN THE WORLD* 🤣🤣💀💀

Do a “Pass it on” with the 1914 cook book.

I definitely think mike is the best of the “normals” and he deserves more credit

Crazy idea: use the 1914 cookbook in a pass it on 😂

So, my first thought was literally to put ice cream on an omlette, and that's why i'm not a cook.

Loved the addition of the chefs chatting about the correct dish!

Yay, James is back!! 🥳 Also: Pass it on with a recipe from this cookbook!

I’d like to see them use “The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook”, there’s a BUNCH of recipes in there that I’d love to see the boys try.

Mike, it looks gorgeous. Here's an idea: Pass it on: 1914 cookbook. Order: chefs to normies.

I think you guys should do something from “The Nordic Baking Book” or “The Nordic Cookbook” by Chef Magnus Nilsson. There are some very interesting recipes in that book that I’d love to see you all attempt.

"Classic s**t sandwich Ben!" Hahaha I love curry

"I bring you down - I've been bringing you down for ten years" nooooooo Mike you're an angel and we love you

I recommend the Sorted Food guys give The Canadian Home Cook Book 1877: Tried! Tested! Proven! a try. I gifted it to some American friends as a joke.

I love how encouraging everyone is in this video!!! Mike should be proud 😊😊👍👍👍 he did well

"It's coz you offered, mate." 😂

10:28 mike: “we keeping the sponges by the way” Mike (happy voice): “trifle!” James (snacking on the sponges): “.....” (yum yum)

Ben: cuts a piece from the sponge Mike: WOW WOW JAMIE: WHATS HE DOING WHAT HE DOING JAMES:EBBERS, THATS IS UNACCEPTABLE,I FEEL VIOLATED Also Ben: beautifully even, because melted butter is laced through it, you get a wonderful even golden brown colour

Had to stop watching for a moment to stop laughing at Ben’s reaction to Jamie asking if that’s how marbles are made

I would love to see someone’s old, handwritten family recipes “decoded”

dare i say mike's version, to me, was more aesthetically pleasing than ben and james' 👀

I'm with James: let's go to modern cusine now! Minimalist and weird stuff that will most likely confuse the normals heheh

I'd say, have each of the "normals" try at least one recipe from this book before moving on to the next.

7:18 god what I wouldnt do to replace my Siri’s voice with Ben’s voice

James and Ben actually look so proud, it's adorable.

How about “The Forme of Cury” one of the oldest cook books in English (c.1390) with recipes attributed to the chief to Richard II?

Mike's "I'm the raising agent" is basically a Sorted version of the try guys' Zach's "I'm the clitoris" 😂

Mike did so well!! I was so impressed when he guessed it was a baked Alaska 😂 never in a thousand years would I have figured that out on my own

What about a cookbook called "Eat what you Watch: A Cookbook for Movie Lovers" where you guys pick the dish of your favourite films?

When Mike hit the lever on the scoop and the ice cream just hopped out & launched directly onto the floor I laughed so hard I had to stop the video. Seriously though, well done!

James getting SPICY in this ep! Love it~

Me-looks up Norvegiene on google, laughs heartily. Also Me-watchs Ben and James explain how to make it. Cackles. Looks back at tiny tiny description given in book, rubs hands. This is gonna be **gooood**. EDIT: More please! More 1918! Maybe each chef draws a random page number and recipe and then all come together to make a combined meal with each part? Modernistic minimalistic future foods too. Maybe try something from Mrs. Beetons for older? Good job Mike!

“I think you whip and then you nae nae.” Well I guess the dad joke of the week come early this week lol

1914 remote chef. The chef has the cookbook in a different room, the normal takes instructions.

Super proud. I know they'd sorted lots of stuff, but I can't help but be proud when they talk bout cooking techniques they've learned a long the way. *tearing up a bit

I am so so happy that this got to be a positive experience for Mike! He deserves some more confidence in himself!

Jamie: “I think you whip.. and then you nae nae” 🤣🤣

Nathan Bailey's 1736 cookbook, "Dictionarium Domesticum." They've done old French, now time for old English :)

I like how they stressed him out with the recipe, but still offered a lot of support so he wasn't completely out on a limb

Ahhhh...James, me lad, your searing snark has been thoroughly missed. It's SO GOOD to have you back!! 8:28 Ben's reaction and mine were identical. My inner chef was cringe/screaming at Mike - "NO!! Dont separate eggs OVER THE WHISKING BOWL!!!!!" Seriously, I almost had an anxiety attack watching that. Final verdict: That looks AMAZING! Mike, so proud of you bro! Baked Alaska is one of those fiddly, classic deserts that if you go a little bit wrong, it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Well done!!

So glad you've included a preview of the intended finished product which I felt was missing from the past videos. It makes watching the chaos much more exciting.

That "whip > nayy nayy" dad joke came out of Jamie so casually that I thought it was Sunday for a moment.

After so many years of watching Sorted I finally understand that the secret to Bloody Good Food! is Colour, Texture, Flavour, Aroma + Attention To Detail [+ seasoning]. Thank you boys.

I love how this segment has become an ode to a technical challenge from the bake-off!! James being like Paul Hollywood and Ebers like Mary Berry at the beginning 🤣 Keep it coming!!!

The Forme of Cury: A Roll of Ancient English Cookery Compiled, about A.D. 1390 - Let's see how good you guys really are!

I wish Mike wasn’t so hard on himself! He does a great job usually!

Congrats Mike you looked so relaxed while doing something so complicated

Aw Ben looked so proud! Well done Mike!!!!

James drooling over the sponge is wholesome AF! Absolutely smashing job by Mike here!

I have never met him but i’m so proud of Mike. I feel like we always see videos of him getting stressed out or doing things wrong (*cough* choux pastry) which are funny but seeing him do something complicated and do it well is so lovely! Yay Mike!

Aw Mike brought be so much joy and all of being so helpful wanting it to work for him,

James and Ebbers are so proud. Mike actually listens and learned something!

Mike was amazing today! Kudos!! Also, I feel like the chefs were so proud of him even though they tried so hard to hide that. Also can we talk about James’s face while eating the scraps of the Genoise? So damn cute. x

Recipe Relay: 1914 cookbook edition

This was the most wholesome thing - with everybody helping and being positive and stuff. I'm warmed.

I love that we see Mike growing as a home cook. He is using what he's learned the last decade with first Ben, and later with Ben and James, and it's wonderful to see him put that knowledge into action! Great job!!!

8:17 i think this question gave him a small stroke 🤣😂🤣😂

Having watched Mike over the years, tears welled in my eyes as I gave him a standing ovation from Montana, US. *sniff* So proud.

gotta say, i'm very impressed with mike. it's not often we see him on his own. i loved how the chef's were giving him nudges in the right direction, encouraging him to figure things out/use what he knows. i'd enjoy seeing more of that kind of teaching from them

great vid, usually come here for the laughs but that was the best parts of friendship with the helping and still giving him a good time. also... that was a great looking sponge

Jamie: That's very genoise of you. I. LOVE. JAMIE. 🤣

Harold McGee's "on food and cooking: the science and lore of the kitchen"

"You Raise Me Up" is a song composed by the Norwegian-Irish duo Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland, and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. So very on point Ben.

can i just say... james didn’t even have to try to make his veins pop out on his arms.. they just. did.
