Reviewing a Cookbook from 1861!! 

I can't stress how proud I am of the boys for not giving up when they read the title of the dish, or when their jelly went wrong... Can't say any of it tasted fantastic though... Sooooo much Vinegar!!

Kush giggling to himself in the corner is the best.

Barry and Jamie's reaction to kush not following the recipe and kush's reply was "I'm a chef" was the deepest shade ever thrown at them haha

Okay boys I am formally requesting a Kush Cam or something of the sort in future videos. His giggles and inability to “hollllld your sh*t together” was just incredibly amazing!! Kush was the mystery MVP of this one. Plus the boys were just like kids getting to stay at home without the parents for the first time lol

I feel like we need more Kush in the videos... him giggling in the corner was one of the best parts of this video

The ultimate betrayal when it turns out Kush didn't follow the recipe either! They look lovely and at the same time - Vile!

I love how Kush indulged Barry’s revelation to blowtorch the sardines even as Jamie was trying to talk him out of it.

Barry was really going through it this episode. the way he said "my tower..." when the toast fell was so sad and poignant. very fun! also page 420 for Ebbers!

"Kush! Holllld your sh** together!" I love that Jamie just wants them to take it seriously. Congrats, Spaff! I'm so proud.

Jamie: doing his best. Being a good boi. Following directions. Barry: EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 NOW FREESTYLE!!!!!!

"I'm a Chef" in response to why Kush's tasted better was so reminiscent of something James would have said. More Kush on camera please he is always such a delight.

When Jamie said "we've got to make the dish" all I thought of was James hollering "Where's. The dish?!" 😂

We need Ben to react to both this and the previous episode. We need to see his reactions of when the normals are let loose alone in the kitchen without his supervision

You know the boys are in trouble when Jamie is the voice of reason.

Jamie holding it together, wanting to stick to the recipe and being the voice of reason among Barry's chaotic energy? Well done Sir

When they were doing the butters I literally said out loud "don't let spaff colour it himself" and lo and behold Barry did. This always happens lol.

I’d really like to see Kush more in the videos and maybe even do a chef vs chef with Ben!

Kush laughing made this entire video. We 100% need more of this on the side fun from the team. Haha those faces at the end! I feel that pain after watching all this being put together. Kush trying this at the end was icing on this not so tasty cake.

Love to see Kush in a video with the boys being a mischievous scamp. The chaos of a normal, the skills of a chef. Truly a man we can count on.

when barry said it looks no more appetizing, i laughed so hard 🤣

"Barry, do you know what just the tip is?!?!” Ebbers would be proud.

I really like how buttoned down Jamie was the whole time. He had a plan to stick to the recipe and made sure that was what happened through the chaos lol. Epic Spaff.

I love when they interact with the rest of the crew Kush's comments, laughing from the side and Izzy's hiccups are some of the funniest moments i've seen on the channel. Please put there reactions in more. I think you should have a 3 way battle the Chefs, the Normal's, and the Crew to see which group are the best. As for Ebber's payback i'll say page 867.

I keep coming back to this video because it just makes me so happy. Jamie actually following the recipe while Barry can't, Kush on the side laughing, seeing how much no one wanted to eat them. And all that butter!!!!🤣

When did Jamie become the responsible one? 🤣 Kush laughing makes it feel like the manager/parent/teacher is out for the day hahaha! Loving this vibe!

It's so nice to see Kush in front of the camera. We need more of that.

Kush was a delight this whole episode. The "I'm a chef" justification is like the HISHE version of "because I'm Batman". And then him trying to put those things back on the boards since he doesn't want to finish them and then deciding against it! A gem! Kush is a real gem!

I laughed at the quart and pints problem because that's what I use all the time here in America. Got both sets of measurements on my measuring equipment.

Challenge Ben & Mike to make whatever's on page 423. Proud of y'all for getting as close to what Kush made! I loved seeing Kush laughing! 🤣

The Maths in this Episode: Barry chucks in Peppercorns and Jamie recites the conversion of quart to litre like it’s the value of Pi lol

Amazing to see the rest of the team in these recent videos, and the camera cutting to Kush laughing is just pure gold :D

This was my favorite version of Barry and Jamie on screen! Kush was the icing on the cake

Page 394! This video has me cracking up. Kush’s giggling in the corner was the cherry on top. Definitely want Ben to endure this book! Would love for Kush to be in more videos and offering commentary if he can, or even in a Pass It On video!😊

Kush's 3 word reply about the vinegar was funny and also explained why perfectly.

1. These two DO work well together! It was lovely!!!! 2. Kush! More Kush pls. (you know what happens when another chef from your team appears... We want more of them!) 3. The ad at the end LOL

I laughed so hard at the taste test part, I cried! I had to pause and rewind so I didn’t miss anything because I was laughing too hard to really catch everything. This was awesome! 🤣The little outtake at the end was perfect!

I much prefer the last two videos you've added (including this one) to the others you've released lately. You seemed to go in a new direction when James left, but I think the old Sorted formats were why most of us fell in love with you. Battles, Pass It On and Think like a Chef are all hilarious episodes where the Normals forget everything they've ever been taught and bully Barry to the point I genuinely feel bad for him. More of this please!

In Sweden we have a recipe book from 1755, Cajsa Warg's cook book. It would be interesting to see you make some of those recipes as well :)

Poor Jamie.. trying so hard to follow the recipe and trying to get Barry to stop free-styling. Like trying to herd cats 😂😂😂😂 Definitely more videos with Kush please!!

We definitely need Ebbers to do another episode of him making a meal and following the recipe as is! We could call the episodes "Did Ben Ebbers it up?" Jokes aside I would be interested to see if Ben can recreate a traditional Mexican meal, step by step......I recommend birria

I'd love to see Jamie and Mike try a recipe from this book together. It feels like they'd really try to nail it.

Does Jamie freak out when you guys have technical difficulties like today? If he does, someone please film it. This was absolutely worth the wait! Thanks for being fantastic. Page # 189.

Kush giggling in the corner like a Gremlin while Barry has a breakdown over Jelly lol

this is great. jamie wants to follow the recipe, barry wants to freestyle, and kush is just laughing at them the whole time.

As a long time fan of this watching with my teen kids to inspire them in the kitchen, I have to say seeing Kush in the video and laughing it up made the video for me. He and the other team members, if feasible, should be seen more. It takes a village and work to make these videos a success. I remember some of the earlier ones seeing Izzy (hiccuping one for example) and Ed (even hearing him when Jamie knocked the light over) was phenomenal!

I always love it when they cook from old cookbooks, please give it another go!

I’m loving the introduction of kush into the video more I want to see his reaction to the normals

Everybody is talking about Kush giggling. But the instant thousand yard stare he had after they asked him to take a taste was his best part by far.

Kush giggling the whole time just killed me- he was having such a good time!

You shouldn't heat the gelatine sheets over 60°C or it looses it's bounding ability. First rehydrate the gelatine sheets in lukewarm water. Second cook the ingredients and then let it cool to 60°C then add the rehydrated sheets and let them desolve. Third step, put it in the Freezer to cool down to 8 °C so it can get firm.

Barry, the only person I know where the challenge part of "complete the recipe" doesn't come from required cooking skills, but from actually looking at the book. It's like trying to give a cat a medicine.

I feel like their needs to be a basic instructions badge with the amount of freestyling Barry has done today.

I love episodes with Kush cracking up silently on the sidelines! Definitely improved my week!

This was great guys! Congrats on successfully making such vile food!😂 That end promo for Sidekick was golden, lads!

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at the boys, but this is IT! 🤣🤣🤣

Poor Barry trying so hard to get outta the box, and Jamie shoving him back in.

When I heard the word Aspic, I knew it wasn't going to be good. Bless your souls for not giving up. Good going Jaimie for keeping Barry on task and not letting him change the recipe too much.

I'm so glad Ben is doing something fun. For a sec I was worried he was ill.

I really want you to try some things from a book called "Martha Lloyd's Housebook" it is aa collection of recipes put together by Martha Lloyd, who was Jane Austen's best friend. Martha lived with Jane, her sister Cassandra and their Mother. Martha did most of the cooking so he recipe collection is things we can be pretty confident Jane Austen would have eaten.

This was so epic!! Good job lads! Also really loved seeing Kush!

I MEAN, how is it in every video that Jamie just ends up with food colouring? Just how? 😂

Barry just destroying everything involving specific directions is weirdly pure

Seeing Kush laughing at them added so much to the video

I would LOVE to see the boys try a recipe, or, two from "The Form of Cury", history's first "cookbook", circa 1420s England.

Yes! I love seeing them cook out of old cookbooks! Whether they do well or not, we win! 😂

This was hilarious and I want more!!!! I would love to see each of the Normals tasked with a different recipe. Could be a good challenge!

You guys gotta do more from this book! And Ebbers absolutely deserves a chance to muck it all up. Page 432

First of all, you guys did a GREAT job! Would I eat any of it? No, thank you, and not because of anything you did or did not do. I don't think I laughed so hard at an episode as I did during this one. The taste testing brought me to tears I was laughing so hard. Thanks for that, as I really needed it.

I swear to god I'd bash my head against the wall if I had to cook with Barry but its gold when your just watching LOL

The cookbook videos are really becoming my favorites ! they are so much fun and interesting

More like this please! Love it when any of you boys cook from old cookbooks!! Not something I would eat as a whole, but the butters could be worked into other dishes.

Yes! Good work lads! Ebbers turn! A full 4 course meal! Hors d'oeurvres, appetizer course, main and a dessert!

Still waiting on that Tasting history with Max Miller/Sorted collab especially with Max's cookbook coming out next year.

"Do you know what 'just the tip' is!?" has got to be one of the best things ever said on this channel

I love the image of Kush shrugging while holding two and saying "I'm a chef" like its the explains everything

Love the chaos! Jamie trying his best to follow the recipe, Barry being Barry! Brilliant!!

I can't help but watch these episodes. I can't say I'm super interested in the recipe but as soon as this book comes out Barry checks out and Poor Jamie is trying so desperately to actually do the recipe and the process is amazing. ;)

2:29 I think they mistook the direction "a quarter pint" to mean "a quart or pint". When I saw how much vinegar they measured out, my jaw dropped. Perhaps I've read too many "English" mysteries because all I could think was "Don't you guys know what a pint of beer looks like? Take a quarter of that!" 4:15 When Barry said "You want..." and Jamie replied "I don't, but Ben does", I laughed out loud.

Kush is adorable. His inability to keep it together really added to the vid.

Jamie reminds of me being a teacher and working with the one kid that wanted to do well and pass but also wanted to have fun and was super excitable and could easily sway the whole lesson into chaos!

Barry, Jamie is not a clever sausage, he is a Clever Chorizo.

Vinegar aspic with pork is one of the best treats my grandma does for me when I come visit her. It is an aquired taste I also like it with mashed potatoes.

This brought me so much joy

14:20 JAMIE FLAPPING IN THE BACK THO LMAO

I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say I would love to see more Kush on camera.

I don't know who wrote that sidekick ad at the end, but it's the single best ad I've ever seen. :D Best part of the video.

I have a copy of Mrs. Beetons, mine is from 1912 and is still 5 inches thick. On the opposite page as the aspic recipe is a recipe for a brown sauce. A brain sauce for sheep's head to be precise. It requires 2 sheep's brains, ¾ pint liquor in which the heads were cooked, 1½oz butter, 1½oz flour, a small chopped onion, 1 tsp vinegar and salt and pepper. I'd say you got off easily-ish.

2:26 looks like barry poured out about the difference between a quart and a liter there 😂

Kush is great! I'd love to see him in more videos if he's comfortable with it? Ben should definitely have to make something out of this book!

I bet back then most people enjoyed vinegar as a flavour, simply because they would have been eating a lot more things preserved in vinegar during the winter months. Probably a similar reason with the butter - if you put butter on everything then you are going to enjoy it a lot more. You'll always enjoy things that you eat more of because your digestive systems microbiom is heavily influenced by foods you have previously eaten and that goes on to affect your cravings. So if you have a high vinegar and fat diet you will find those things far more enjoyable. It's also the reason that the easiest way to improve yours and your kids diets, is to blend vegetables you want them to eat into things they already eat - Jamie Oliver has a great tomato sauce that does this and you can't tell it has 5 or more other vegetables in. Feed them that in everything that calls for a tomato sauce and before you know it they'll be craving those other vegetables without knowing why.

OMG I love this one so much!! And please do more from this book or another chef battle from Le Répertoire De La Cuisine!

Give Ben one of the recipes Mrs. Beeton adapted from the Pantropheon, like baked red mullet with a sauce of anchovies, sherry, and cayenne. :) And then give him the original recipe, as well, lol.

Lollll at Kush dying in the background

Y'all were killing Chef Kush. He was laughing so hard. And his twist at the end was perfect. The page that Ebbers should cook from is Pi.

I wanna see more from that book! That’s hilariously outstanding!

Cooking from that book is definitely improving your culinary skills and exposing your palate to new experiences. Must be dozens of recipes that you need to cook from that book.

Finally an other old recipe from the hilarious brittish folks. its quite funtoknow what kind of dishes they prepared as common food in the past.

We need a new segment called Cooking with Barry. Imagine guest chefs encountering an unrestrained Barry in the kitchen just doing his thing. The chaos would be brilliant, he's such a loose cannon.

Barry, Jamie, and Kush all together are a riot!

They say laughter is the best medicine and Chef Kush is in the biggest pharmacy with respect to this episode.
