Sohla Makes Cinnamon-Date Sticky Buns | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit 

This is so true.

Doesn't sound pretentious, doesn't dumb it down. Yes!

Exactly! Love it

she is a teacher teaching you how to cook right now

Agreed! Even when other folks in the kitchen ask for her expertise she explains what's what without sounding condescending~

She's pretty well sung, friend. there's a solid fan base building

Soh-la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Id like to glaze her buns

Completely agree, my friend.

Wait, who's not singing?! Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!

@zimple jack STFU! She has said it herself

3k likes but 2 replies?

GROSS, and im not talking about the food......

wait what? she doesnt get paid?

@@feliciavanderweide4153 she doesn't get paid for her video appearances, I recommend you watch a video about it by the RU-vid channel 'Ramen'. You can just search 'Bon Appetit Systemix Racism' and you'll find the video.

@@m.alifaryaguna4845 systemix racism? that sound like a brand for food-processor for racism! that would have been such an amazing name for the video.

That wonderful woman is going to be responsible for me getting Diabetes... and I love her for it.

*you found a way to put what I’m feeling into words*

You can win this if you just keep being more obsessed. I believe in you.

Her natural talent made me more obsessed. She can temper chocolate like a queen and then made a weird candy carbanara. So impressive

She is so wonderful

I'm pretty sure shes getting one. They hinted at it at a q&a.

Shes still uncomfortable in front of the camera I think but almost everyone is so hopefully she gets better at it.

Call it Cooking at Level 10.

Agreed

Dora the Explorer

How do you know she's not getting paid?

A bunch of drama surfaced because Rapoport posted a picture where he was doing black face (like a Puerto Rican). Not only that, but apparently Sohla is being paid 50k (seems like a lot but this is New York we're talking about, it is not very much for 15 years of experience either). Apparently this is the usual way management at Bon Appetit (and higher up at Conde Nast) treats their people of color and basically anyone who's not white. They're paid the bare minimum, and they're not paid for video appearances like their white counterparts. If you want you can look it up, it's dark stuff. There's videos on the topic that deal with theory like systemic racism and tokenization. About the latter, that means Sohla is being kept around to look pretty, to look like they're inclusive (which they're not, apparently). So not paying her for every video she's in like her peers were... The other personalities at Bon Appetit spoke out about it too, giving Sohla support. It's the reason there's no new videos, the other cooks refuse to appear on video in this channel as a form of protest. Rapoport resigned as well, as Sohla requested. He made a post about it on Instagram I think. With so many people involved speaking out, it's pretty much confirmed. The drama around Carla and Delaney is a bit more delicate, but Carla apologized explaining the email (spoiler: it was not racist, it was a slip of the tongue that made it appear like she was targeting a specific person), and Delaney made that cake back when he was 17, so not really good examples of racism at Bon Appetit like what's happening behind the scenes... You be the judge though.

Well now she works with babish

@@Jack-mo2vo how much is she getting paid now

*Sohla

@@avanipall thank you so much for the correction❤️

@Cérine Ko okay but.... is there not going to actually BE a correction to her name? it really correlates to that “no ❤️” meme perfectly

@@sleepfilledsim yes, sorry I forgot

@@sleepfilledsimby the way I'm really thankful for being corrected

She's so good in front of the camera. And has her own style and everything. Fits in nicely with the rest of the BA videos and personalities!

Agree :D

She definitely needs her own show. Something that shows off her creativity.

I like her cool tattoos

Me too!

They do have smtgh similar. Its called gourmet makes😂😂😂😂 the frustration is real🤣

@@jeslynsama6135 insert tempered chocolate here.

that _almost_ sounds like making perfect

Making perfect is pretty much that

@@jeslynsama6135 yeah I thought about but I saw gourmet makes as a way to reimagine already existing recipes. What I'd like to see is how they all develop a recipe and how they take photos of the food, how they get inspired for what to write on the magazine, just all the publication of magazines really intrigues me

Yes this^^^

Sohla Unleashed!

Do it!

or dont reel me in

I prefer 'Out of this Sohla System'

Please tell me what video that is

@@lewissmith5759 it's the Pro Chefs Make Their Favorite Coffee video!

The part that made it even better was that her "white russian" had none of the ingredients of a white russian in it.

She birthed a human of a different race and nationality? Wicked

Yep!!

LOL. There is a lot of great merch ideas just in this post. Hope you are well. Stay safe.

andrew: tiny whisk

@@lpr.3437 We need a Sohla/Babby cross where they just talk about their kitchen utensils. No food involved.

How you missed Claire's offset spatula I have no idea. Words escape me....

Claire: Despair

yet with 1.5 million views we know they made LOTS of money with this vid alone

I thought she didn't get compensated for her appearances in other shows (like Gourmet Makes). I think she got compensated (though probably not much) for videos where she is scripted to appear.

same. so absolutely unfair.

@@G60J60F80 She didn't. The BA staff are paid for video appearances through contracts with Conde Nast and Sohla didn't have one. Appearing in videos was just something they made part of her normal job which she only got paid her (extremely small) base salary for.

Makes me so angry.

No.

1.5 m views and not compensated.

She also made 10 more recipes

Maggie Jackson I felt that

Jesus where am I tumblr?

Only people on tumblr have feelings?

Dude I swear

@@Kintayisme when you've been on tumblr for a while, you'll know it when you see it

Shyama Nandakumar YES! By far. Glad I'm not the only one. She's awesome

Shola has the most adorable and intoxicating laugh.....it,s just impossible to not smile with her all the way through!

I know. She's so nice and positive and she has the goods too, so.. The whole package

You should search her stuff on Serious Eats she had amazing recipes and was just as bubbly

Same here!

John Frontera lol same

WARNING I am the unprettiest human YTer worldwide, but somehow I have TWO HOT RU-vidR girlfriends. Thanks for being a future subscriber, dear john

its sohla u headass

You mistakenly typed the wrong spelling for 'SOHLA'

Too much glaze? You must be new to the American diet.

Marissa Katter thats a risk i think we’re all happy to take!!! her personality is perfect😍

Love her sm

I came for Claire, I stay for Sohla!

Marissa Katter I’m a Carla type guy......gabby is a very close second

Out of everyone in the BA kitchen, I'm most confident in her cooking skills.

I found that reaction at the end to be sort of strange. I’m not sure if she didn’t really like it or if she was trying to be humble. I think she’s incredibly talented, but her reaction at the end just left me scratching my head a bit.

She seems, to me, humble by nature.

Yes, yes and yes

Sohla solo

100% yes

Yessssssssss

Rappo said on IG they are working on it!

I love the fact he actually keeps calling her that, it's so heart-warming.

(Cue faux Irish lilt) “Ah, the lovely Sohla!”

truly a lovely soul

P. L. omg I thought ur display picture was christina ahaha

AND Sohla screeches "How Romantic!" which makes me adore her even more. Love to all of them!🥰🥰🥰

I don't think they are actually a Romantic item.

@@bergenswald they're literally talk about their first date but sure...

@@ecenbt To be fair, Sohla is asking about the first date. He just specifies its where they met

@@ecenbt it's clearly sarcastic, and I've seen pictures on insta of girlfriends.

Mended fences. I felt bad when she accidentally left him hanging. The look on his face.

Friendship restored. 😅

She might be the first person on vid to call Hunzi "Matt". I didnt realize at first who she was referring to.

@@mariadora8498 she is the ony person that call Hunzi, Matt. Lmao

@@mariadora8498 same! When she yelled "Matt!" I thought we were gonna get a new character. Then it turned our to be our darling Hunzi. That was such a rollercoaster of emotions lol

!!!

we stan sohla

this reads like a teacher evaluation on an elementary school report card and it's so accurate

they are only using sohla to show “diversity” she isn’t even paid to be in videos

@@parkerhastiings wha-. 😡😞😞

@@mickey7217 i know! its so sad

Yes pls

Same

You haven't gone "too far" if there are still some people left alive.

i think the show name can be "Too Far"

Ok ok ok but hear me out: sohla goes solo

Everyone in the comments are saying this. Can someone point me towards a source?

@@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea She talks about it on her Instagram. BIPOC editors are given more responsibilities than white editors, but they're only payed their per annum, and nothing for video appearances.

I unsubscribed too.

@@chlorhex6785 where is the source of this information, as far we all know she wasn't compensated at all for video participations!

I'm the same way in the kitchen haha. When you want something to be perfect, it will never be great until it is hahaha. She's a true chef!

"Okay." - Sohla, maybe.

Sohla is a realist. Yes these buns are good, but they are not the best buns that will ever be made. Or maybe she is a slow burn enjoyer. She IS not like "OMG THIS IS SO GOOD WTH" but "I really want a cinnamon date sticky bun right now. I misse it".

She also stated that she wanted these to be a baklava cinamon roll but she always has to real her recipes back to make them simple. So it's no surprise that she isn't overwhelmed with this end result. That's not to mention this is still a basic recipe there really isn't anything amazing about it, it's just a good recipe for beginners...

I really like her, hope she does more videos :)

Quick three-month check-in: BA, have you paid Sohla for this video yet?

Quick 4 month check in: hey BA, have u paid Sohla for this appearance yet?

She threw away the pasta water though...

I trust Sohla with my life

I listen to her every word haha

She has my sword.

@@MoooseBlood and my bow

Yes! Maybe the show could consist of three experiments each, then at the end the others weigh in on the most successful experiment.

They already did it

Right? 😂😂

Hahaha

So relatable! 😅😂

Be one with the dough

@@eve8372 I know right.😹

Sohla is the best. I want some Sohla and Claire content pleaseeeee

Same

Immediate upvote!

Agreed, she's so cute

Someone said she studied food science so that might be a reason why she's so knowledgable

Everyone had the same reaction to Chris when starred in his first videos. Ah memories

ba single handedly got me into cooking

That bit about how acidity impedes browning was very helpful and well explained

She used to do this in a different channel before her job in BA haha

So sad she's not paid in every video

papillon bleu YES IT'S HEARTBREAKING

Oh wow. When did she do that? 😯

@@moimeself1088 last week, when Carla, Chris and Sohla made their own versions of pasta carbonara. 🤓🍝

@@TonyGaytanM great, something i haven't watched yet! 💃🏾

:D LOL

You can also make a whip out of chickpea (can) water.

It sounds like he's taste tested a lot of her stuff.

recoil53 Phrasing

Wow, somebody who actually did the thing! A unicorn!

Claire is the queen of baked goods, lets not get carried away 😂

Man y’all be out here forgetting Claire real fast :\

IWDFC(AS)FTBATK

Yes please!

Love this idea! So we can see just how far she pushes it but still have something we (well, the more talented and least lazy of us) can actually try to pull off

Or it could be that mixed with the way they did the carbonara episode- she goes absolutely wild making up a recipe, and then has to make a simpler version and then a “basic” version.

😂😂😂

it's my favorite family of colors!

I know! Was it marigold shirt day ?

Stephanie Dunn 😂😂😂

Even Sohla has that colour flowers on hers

@@asal.5541 I know, right?!?!?!?

SAMEEEEEEH!!!!

The Brad Effect

I feel like these two compliment each other so much and I'd love to see an it's alive episode with her as a result just to see all the side eyed comments sohla would make to Hunzi about brad lol

I could see several times he was about to take a bite 😂

That laugh was so perfect.

She's got contagious chill and joy, and it's so good. Great to watch! Anyone who watches this and comes away feeling energised can say they are Sohla powered.

What we've learned is that dough is basically a cat.

Same

I heard on the BA podcast "Food Cast" Rapaport said a show is in the works for her.

HiThere no way!!!!!!!

HiThere yeah. They really don’t have a choice but to give her her own show now

I'm also in love with his hair.

Krispy Pepper omg same! It was super cute 🥺

Yessss that was adorable
