It's Taco Friday 

This is a way better format than other cooking shows. Just pure honesty, good conversation and good food! Love it.

TV lighting Guy here, for reference I've designed the lighting systems on every major UK Studio since 2005, Your videos aren't to dark at all the lighting might be slightly over diffused but that's a personal preference (and use of diffusion is a major difference between RU-vid and TV) Your scenic LEDS (under shelves) do get washed out. We only use Schnick Schack LEDs in TV sets becuase their colours work on camera. Reds are reds not pink. Ignore the videographers and sofa lighting experts!

Screw what people think about it being dark. It’s your channel.

love the relaxed and casual format of these videos.

This is my Fav Cooking / Chat Chanel

That intro was the most honest homecooking I've ever seen on youtube. We are making "canasta tacos" but I'm doing it this way cos leftovers, with some "salsa roja" but I don't have red jalapenos.

Lighting's great, format's engaging, meals/cooking are ultra-real and I love the use of "whatever I've got". 🥰

@andycooksbackofhouse I discovered your main channel a year ago, loved your style and approach to cooking. I work full-time in a very numbers oriented field, and cooking is like my weekend therapy, and that therapeutic vibe is what I get from your cooking! Bought your book too, and love it, recipes that humble home cook can actually make, that are delicious. I just discovered this channel TODAY! Can't believe it took me this long! It's fabulous and lovely, I love the laid back human element to it, both of you imitating the blender, and telling her to take a second when coughing, a warm and cozy video to go with making food :) Thank you Andy!

I've watched Andy Cooks for a long time now and tonight is the first time I've seen this behind the scenes. I really like this format, your wife is easy on the eyes and the conversation while cooking is awesome. I like this format I think this is good bonding with yourself and your wife too

its so nice to watch you cook and just chat back and forth and answer questions

Andy and Kaitlin I love this channel so much! So relaxed and fun, and I love the looks tou give each other, so sweet!

It's fun watching a chef of your caliber casual cook. This is a great channel!

I loved this! You're both adorable. I've been watching Andy for a long time, this is obviously different, and fun in a different way.

Once again..ya'll hitting it out the park making great engaging content! Thank You! Love seeing you two together.

Only discovered this channel randomly flicking through RU-vid on a Sunday night here in Ireland. Can’t believe I just found it considering I watch all of Andy’s other videos. Really enjoyed the video. It was such a chilled, relaxing video to watch. Hopefully ye both can get to Ireland some day and get to see more than just Dublin 🇮🇪

I think I love this more than the main channel, keep going guys, LOVE your stuff.

Andy and Katelyn, your are both Legends. Absolutely love your themes of these videos and your honesty and willingness to share with me, and your viewers the inner workings of your lives. Peace and much ❤ to you both, and long may they continue! 🙂😋😎

That sly look at the camera and the comment 'the best day of your life' had me in fits, so damn funny. Love the format of this channel, enjoy the main channel but this one is so fresh. Thanks guys

Love the new format and content, great everyday cooking

LOL every time I hear Andy say jalapeno, I swear he says it different each time. Love the channel❤

Love watching these every sunday night. Hello from little old Tassie! Keep these going as they are great for a Sunday unwind!

You’ve made me hungry for Taco’s 😋. Love this format guys keep it going.

I watch cooking vlogs for inspiration, I especially appreciate it when you explain why you’re doing something. For example, salting beginning, middle and end. Keep it up. 🥰

Always a taco fan on Fridays, done with the week, and need a fast cook TACO'S - One thing that's always a winner is pickled red onion with steak. PBack when I ran offroad jeep tours in Mexico we did an event called the Baja Offroad Taco Tour. everything from fancy restaurant taco's to the little shacks at the side of the road - pretty much every taco stand in Baja has pickled red onions, and still crazy tasty. And I don't mind the accent,t but cider is def west country!!

Casually...not casual cooking. Foodtainment...so enjoy you guys.🥩🍷

The lighting is great you and the set is amazing

Andy watch you all he time ...spruke your vids to all that find cooking a challenge ... i have the cookbook love it ! .. I looked at this video and i thought too myself 46 mins for a taco WTF so i clicked and watched it all I already loved your work and now have new found respect for your honesty and your beliefs on all things food including its not about the food ......I bow in your general direction !! you have a great team and are doin great things ....cheers steve

Love these frfr

Best channel on RU-vid. Period.

I've been cooking for my family for 20 years and I feel like I'm starting over... You totally inspire me to cook, huge thanks to you from Surry Hills, Sydney!!

Love this episode. To see both of you so relaxed. 👊🏼

Loving the enterior of your kitchen! No need to change anything in my opinion. It's still yours and you have to feel comfortable in it! Watched this after I cooked for myself and ate my food. Felt like I had companions while eating.

Love love love Unico Zelo Wines... highly recommend their Alluvium and Slate Farm (when they are available)... and please keep up the wine recommendations Caitlin - and get yourself to SA as soon as you can :-)

37:34 "I think I just killed your plant" 🤣🤣

Love your guys work, I've been learning so much off your cooking and also enjoy your guys easy go vibe.

Haha orange coast line is the best. Love the orange keeps coming up in your videos. Best town to live in so relaxing here.

Woah the lighting looks great, nice work all!

bahahahaha Katelyn 'you can come'. great picks, Katelyn. that'd be a lit dinner party. Paul Rudd is the man. good luck with Seth Rogan's laughing 🤣

Tony bourdain was my favourite travelling chef, I've watched him from the beginning back in 2002, I was devo when he took his own life, he was one of the originals in celebrity chefs, even though he didn't cook fr his show except the ep he went back to his old kitchen brasserie Les halles, bt no one will replace him or rick stein, Jamie oliver, Gary Rhodes, Keith floyd, Marco Pierre white, Nigela Lawson, basically the pioneers of who was to come

So good to see some Unico Zelo love!

Thanks Guys love the video as always

Fella from Dublin here. If you're looking to come back, shoot for around late May or early June when the weather is usually great with the start of summer. It's also not full tourist season so the city is rather tranquil and there aren't massive queues everywhere. Except in the pubs where there always massive queues. Would love to have ya back!

I want to dive into this video and have a glass of wine and smell the veggies cooking OMG

What! an Australian wine with a cork!! Outrageous!

as a south australian I also really enjoy the wines down here and would definitely recommend a trip

I remember that nacho chip video, it was originally posted on Vimeo! Absolutely so funny!😂

I really enjoy this format too, especially Caitlin joining in.

The fly gun hahaha 😂😂😂😂

It would be awesome to see how Andy manages his board, when he wipes it down, how you handle chopping raw meat etc. and how does it differ from professional kitchens.

I think you’re bloody brilliant. Thank you

This is quickly becoming my favourite content of yours. Between the "hey babe" shorts, long form "meme" Joshua Weissman/ fried rice meme dude / steak mexican guy etc etc and this more "real" / "laidback" content, I'll take this all day every day. It's probably because I'm an older Aussie (47M). Dunno, just wanted to give some feedback if that helps at all. Cheers. PS... Cooking question... Any reaon here why you chose a white onlon over the much cheaper / more commonly avaiable yellow onion? Does it impart a better or more authentic flavour for this style of dish (aka mexican)? Or is it mainly for asthetics (white onions look cooler in the mix)? Finally, fact check, Melbourne is now the most populous city at 5.3M with Sydney at 5.1M

Wife and I are really enjoying these casual vids. Question for your next vid. What is your go to mid week meal to cook when you have only 30 minutes to prepare?

My first job was in hospitality (wait staff).. working in a hotel restaurant and banquet area and what you say rings so true. I was in the UK but here's me, the teenager, meeting much older people who are drinking and doing a few random drugs. I stayed away from the drugs and didn't drink too heavily thankfully but I did have those late nights going to clubs. Sometimes I'd work breakfast-10pm and be home at 4am. A few times I had breakfast shift again the next day. I look back now and have no idea how I did it. Insanity.

i've been watching your videos for over 12 months. please dont change anything. they all look fine and beyond "fine". Heaps good.

Love the corn chip animation😂 (Ps. Recently Melbourne overtook Sydney in population!)

TikTok’s were so good and the 100’s and thousands biscuits were amazing too

I loved the: "Im gonna make some noise."

Enjoy these more than the main channel.

I grow jalapenos every year and let a most of them ripen to red, smoke them, dry them and store the dried flakes as 'chipotle'

'Kangaroos are kiwi' lol I'm dying

Making a batch of fresh homemade corn tortillas for tacos is the way to go. As well as some jalapeno creme sauce. Ms. kaitlyn, love the enthusiastic critique of the wine your sampling. Great to watch this platform.

bro i watched the Andy cooks Michelin star vs you. bro i think you beat him imo that stuff looked so good and when Mitch and babe were eating it i was like yep okay it's def a winner. because the way it was presented looked so good. plated perfectly. like, looks wise was already a win for me. the Michelin guy was good. but the tartar was a typical Michelin plate and the dessert looked okay. not to take away from his food or talent but, i'd order yours if i saw it on a menu. but 3 hours. well done to the both of you. you guys rock!!!! i loved Matt. bring him back for another cool idea.

Unico Zelo are just up the road from me & their sister distillery Applewood is amazing too! You definitely need to do an SA trip Katelyn (and Andy). Would be great when Unico Zelo have their own Cellar Door!

Good work Andy. You should be proud

I’ve been watching your videos for a a couple months now as I like the way you cook and only just learnt you live on the Sunshine Coast. Wish you had a restaurant because I also live on the Sunshine Coast.

I could watch you cook ( more so your knife skills ) for hours. If there is a video ( yours ) on knife skills or knife sharpening Id be interested in seeing it... If I could dine with anybody dead or alive Id pick 3 people who have passed away.. My Nan and My Pop and also My Dad who passed away early 2023, thats who Id have dinner with.. love your work, cheers.... Robb

What do you substitute for Corinader if you simply can not stand it? Just Parsley? Surely there is more of a flavourful substitute?

You just have to enjoy with them they so cute together ❤❤❤

My Sunday night is complete 🙏

Hospitality was the place to party, don’t know about now, I left the industry 25 years ago. However the evening lifestyle/work shift usually lasted into the early morning.

Your lives make everything real. Cant keep up!!!!

Yes, friends! Come to SA and visit the Adelaide Central Markets! You will love it so much. :)

Not sure if someone else mentioned it, but if you’re looking for amazing traditional corn tortillas that are made in this country the traditional mexican way, get them from El Cielo in Melbourne (they have online store). You can thank me later. They are bomb.

Everyone loves tacos!! Yum!

Not going to lie, when I saw the title of video and the length, I went to the market myself to pickup some ingredients for tacos and cooked along while the video is playing :)

This finishes off a weekend perfectly :-)

🤣👍 so funny guys.

Really enjoy these relaxing long forms. Question: Andy chopped a huge amount of garlic in the fried rice video this week. Any special tricks for getting that garlic smell off your fingers? Special chef soap? Thanks!

The Unico Zelo guys also have their own RU-vid channel (Wine For The People)! They’re big promoters of the Australian wine industry

A perfect team.

Love watching you guys! Love you Kate... Love you Andy. My question is are their Children/Babies on the cards.

THATS HOW TACOS GOOO

I remember the tic toc biscuits, they were yum

Katelyn’s wine taste seems to be identical to mine. Love the choice every week. Some recommends if you haven’t tried them before; Si Vintners near Margaret River, Alpha Box & Dice in McLaren Vale, and Latta from somewhere in Vic.

For some folks, continuing to eat anything 'sweet' will perpetuate sugar cravings so be very wary of not cutting it out completely. You need to understand whether you're a 'moderator' or an 'abstainer' at heart. Moderating just doesnt work for a lot of people. The easiest way to control sugar consumption is to cook for yourself

Great timing, I made almost the same tonight, grilled and thinly sliced scotch fillet, pico and cholula hot sauce on flour tortillas

To answer Katelyn's question Andy looks older but that may be the mileage not the years. L O L

Currently travelling Mexico and the corn tortilla are next level here

Both are so good looking and personable. So easy to watch, I love these people.

Love the videos, would like to know the story behind the Tatts Andy??? Where, when and why. Love the work guys!

how long have you guys known Mitch and Daaz? would love to know as they seem almost like family and i love it. i wish there'd be a video where you and Mitch cook on your Andy cooks. and then another one where Daaz and Katelyn cook or Andy and Daaz. that would be the best thing ever EVER lol or Andy and babe cook off. that would all be so fun and cool to see.

Here's one for andy: what's the story behind the scar on the left of your head? Also, really great format. Love the atmosphere and look forward to it every week. Best from Germany

I love my a-salt gun too!

Question incoming from tasmania! Have you had any interest or want to visit the state from its reputation of food and wine? And how would you compare it to new Zealand if you have already visited tasmania?

The county of Somerset mainly in the West Country

A delightful meal in the company of: Conan O’Brien (with Jordan Schlansky…) Alan Shearer Stone Cold Steve Austin Bryan Cranston Love this format, guys! Keep up the good work. ❤

Catelyn, do you ever cook for the two of you or is it always Andy making diner?

Hi Andy, you need to try La Tortilleria corn tortillas, they're made in Melbourne, these tortillas are even better than some places in Mexico. Need to also add that you have been all the way to the US and not dropped into neighbouring Mexico! C'mon Andy you gotta go, you're so close :)

Almost cried watching you throw the fat from steaks away. lol

Interesting subject, Michelen Star Restraunt Versus Chefs Hat. Are they comparable? Whilst living in Mainland Europe, we used to go to a couple Michelen Star Restraunts, found each year they went down in quality, but have yet to GOTO a Chefs Hat here in Aus. Would be interested in differences.
