I just love how supportive Ham is. It says a lot about my expectations for men in general, but he doesn't bulldoze Sohla's ideas or 'take charge' like a lot of men do - he listens and responds and expands on her suggestions, and I just love it so much. They seem like such an awesome couple.

He has the energy of being yelled at and manipulated by her.

@@emboe001 so just because a man knows his place and isn't a douche who wants to take control, he's abused? get a grip bro, all i see is two people who very clearly love each other. they both look at each other with such loving gazes

@rockpooladmirer Месяц назад

@@plaguednecrothe person you're replying to comments shit about Sohla constantly on this channel, sometimes about her and Ham as well. there's no rhyme or reason to it, unless you count racism, xenophobia, misogyny/sexism. edit: I'm brown! and not a cis man! among many other marginalisations. I'm in a fatigue flareup right now and do not have the spoons to explain in detail why I think the above, but you can go through the user's many comments and see them for yourself. they speak on her and her previous workplaces, one of which was BA which she left due to racism and xenophobia in the workplace, which intersected with misogyny/sexism in her and many others' cases. it's not "bringing race into it". good grief!

Yeah and because they're not food snobs, their kid will probably not rebel. If kid wanted Kraft Mac & Cheese, Mom and Dad won't go, "Oh no, we'll make homemade..." They'd be like, "Oh yum!" Thus, rebellion averted.

@kristinnelson-patel442 Месяц назад

I just love how Sohla and Ham riff off of each other’s ideas and work together so beautifully. They’re definitely thinking like parents now, all about efficiency and how to buy the elements they don’t absolutely love to make themselves!

@SnrKagemusha Месяц назад

To be fair to them, this is how they've always worked - both of them worked restaurants + are "yes, and" people. If you haven't seen their previous videos in this series, they're a treat to watch!

@@SnrKagemushayeah, it's definitely not something that started when they became parents. sure is useful on another level now though! :)

As yummy as a mango mystery dish would’ve been, I think lychee was a more challenging fruit. I’m excited with what Sohla and Ham did with it. This series is my favorite!

Petition to let Sohla and Ham do a bonus episode with mangoes! That would have been so much fun!

@deniseferron3397 Месяц назад

That these guys can throw together an entrée, main dish, side salad, dessert AND a cocktail in one hour just blows my mind. Granted, the clock only starts to run after they’ve done the meal planning and grocery shopping, but still! Takes a lot of experience in the kitchen to do that. I doubt that Ham is henpecked like some previous commenter said: you can feel the complicity between these two people just in the way they work together. Seamless and peaceful.

@rockpooladmirer Месяц назад

Hi, still here asking for proper closed captions on your videos. the auto generated ones always have errors and omissions and are insufficient access for those who need them. the latest Recipe Quest video had them, so it's clearly doable. why the inconsistency?

@ToppyTree Месяц назад

Great point

@jenibeanie Месяц назад

Honestly a shame RU-vid got rid of crowd sourced captions. Boosting your comment because yeah, this makes it inaccessible.

@that_feralghoul_reaver7657 Месяц назад

Commenting to bring it to the top Closed captions! Equal access for all.

@DeliaLee8 Месяц назад

Agree. And this is a problem on other channels also. I don't understand the Ways Of RU-vid but maybe the reason I've been noticing this problem more is because of what @jenibeanie said - no more crowd sourced captions?

@rockpooladmirer Месяц назад

@@DeliaLee8that happened a few years ago now - plenty of youtubers add them themselves, so it's really telling when a well funded one like NYT cooking doesn't. I've been commenting for months and months and still nothing. they definitely read and interact with comments on here too. so it's very frustrating

@emboe001 Месяц назад

Thats likely how they're paid.

@disasterlaster Месяц назад

i think after becoming a parent sohla may have gotten better at making time-saving modifications to execute her ideas- for example, opting for puff pastry or pie crust instead of making the dough herself. her whimsy has been constrained slightly, forcing her to make practical choices where before she would have pushed herself to do the more laborious/time-sucking thing. it's beautiful to watch this chef grow!

@gillablecam Месяц назад

I love how they work with each other, especially seeing how Ham helps Sohla plan and make decisions when she's tired out of her mind by asking good questions. Communication is great, love to see it done so well.

Trading ideas, bouncing them off each other, listening to each other, dividing tasks, adapting in the moment, being supportive --AND coming up with a meal that looks genuinely amazing using an ingredient they haven't cooked before.

@thegrynne Месяц назад

Celery leaves are delicious! Bonus second vegetable if you can get a bunch with fresh leaves intact. Pick them off the stem when you get them home and store separately, otherwise the stems will start drawing water from the leaves to try to keep the plant alive, causing the leaves to wilt faster. They're wonderful chopped up fine and sateed in fried rice.

@joke0602 Месяц назад

NYT cooking should do some episodes where they take more time to flesh out some of their ideas that didn't work out as well, and see where these ideas could actually develop into. Like the lamb shanks and lychee tarte tarin.
