We Found Golden Mushrooms On the Forest Floor | Delicious Chanterelle Risotto and Arancini 

Thank you to everybody watching!! I'm going to post one more video for 2020 so I can tell you guys what's coming in 2021. Spontaneous giveaway: any guesses on what's coming? I will give you one of my knives to the first person with the correct guess before the next video is released on the last day of the year. One guess/person 🙏

I just love how natural and human your videos are in contrast with the strive of utter perfection in today's society. Your videos bring me inner peace and part of it is because I know for a fact this lifestyle is obtainable to anyone. Love it.

It must feel so rewarding to cook something you just caught in the same environment you caught it in.

me and my father go look for chanterelles in France and its my favorite thing to do. Though the big ones are satisfying to find, I find the little ones to taste the best. My mom will make the best risotto with them. This video brought back great memories I haven't been able to go do it cause of covid. can't wait to go back.

When are you going to come to nz I will take you out fishing hunting diving you both will have the time of your life.

Lol!! The eye contact slow motion had me dyinggg 😂😂😂

Mushrooms remind me of my teacher in high school (God rest his soul. Love you Ed!) He used to say there are old mushroom eaters and bold mushroom eaters, but never old bold mushroom eaters. Good ish man, happy new year!

Outdoor chef life is my favorite catch and cook channel and I don’t think anyone can ever replace him lol ... my 2nd favorite is Ace videos

Im Glad You Decided to Pursue RU-vid Full-time Glad to see your channel Grow to where it is now 😎 You make amazing content Bro🙏 I can't wait to see your channel hit 1 Million Subs 🙏 Shout-out From Washington State ! 🌲

Thank you Taku and Jocelyn for making great content during these tough times. Really appreciate your effort, keep it up!!!

I'm so excited to see what the announcement is! I found your channel at the beginning of this year, and I have loved all your content! Thank you so much for what you guys do, it brings me happiness, peace, and hunger lol Cheers to all your success :)

1st time seeing you being playful and really enjoying food. I love how natural everything looks.

idk how Arancini isnt more popular, and ive never even heard of it before......that looks and sounds so goddamn good

man I LOVE your mushroom videos ! hell yeah

As always Taku Tuesday is the best! Good one chef Taku and Jocelyn. You didn't forget the wine this time. Like how Jocelyn whispers "from the garden..." Lol. Arancini looking super stellar! As always looking foward to the next one. Cheer guys and Happy New Year!🍻🤙🎉

Yes!! Thought we were gonna have to wait till next Tuesday for part two...Taku, you're the man!

These two recipes were FANTASTIC ! Thank you so much.👍🏻👏🏼❤️

WOW WHAT SUPRISE!!! I'm half Italian and know about rice balls. And you did it with wild mushrooms! Freaking awesome! Dude your living your best life and glad you share it with us!!!!!

Love your videos Taku and Jocelyn, best wishes for 2021. Looking forward to more great content from you both. Cheers from BC Canada.

The clear jelly like mushroom you found at the beginning of the video is called “cats tongue” due to the teeth on the bottom that resemble the taste buds of a cat. They are edible, but people usually candy them since they have little flavor, but a gummy texture.

My dad and my uncles were good at foraging for wild mushrooms on my dad's farm in Alberta, Canada. Another uncle of mine was also good at picking wild mushrooms. They were very tasty when they were cooked up. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers!

4:32 Take it easy taku this is a family show lol

You guys have a very inspiring vibe. Super genuine as well, such a breath of fresh air. No wonder you've blown up. :)

I like you bro, you’re a genuine human being with a good heart and a passion for the things that matter in life. Go strong brother and never stop!

Beautiful video! Living the outdoor life, enjoying its beautiful bounty...nicely done Outdoor Chef Life!

Your videos are so calming!!

Both dishes looked amazing. God I wish I could be there to taste it. I hope you don’t get tired of hearing this, but y’all make an excellent couple. Thank you for the wonderful content And I can’t wait for the next one.

12:53 was that your stomach rambling lol i had to rewind and replay it back a couple times

All the best Taku and Jocelyn. Thanks for the videos this year that I have enjoyed. I am no chef so I enjoy what could be. All the best from down under!

I have memories of picking Chanterelles when I was in the the forest in Sweden. very nice

As fantastic as the mushroom dish looked - my mouth was watering for the Arancini cheesy rice balls. Holy Moly Taku!

12:53 you can hear Taku’s stomach growling 🤣

Cheers T&J for all the 2020 vids fantastic work. Hope the new year brings out more great adventures for you guys. God bless 🙏 🙌

Just had lunch but I’m hungry now! Best food and outdoor channel out there for sure✌🏼

Damn I dig it when Taku takes his first sip..I mean double gulp. And both the dishes looked delicious 🤤. Have a safe and happy New Year. Aloha 🤙🏼

Greetings from Thornton Colorado! Sometimes you guys are like little kids at Christmas when you take your first bites. Taku look at your face when you said “ Oooooooh check out the cheese” for fried rice balls.That’s awesome you guys are doing so well. I really like Joclyns idea for wild mushroom wood fired pizza. Continuing success in the new year on your way to a “Kazillion” subscribers which is twofold a “Kabillion.”

Just joined your channel like a week ago. cant stop watching your videos they are super good, and guys youre such a cute couple. keep it up!

I pick wild chanterelles every year in my back yard in Newfoundland Canada ! I was always told to cut them off at the stem instead of pulling the root from the ground . So that they grow back ! Been working so far

As an Italian I have to say that I'm proud to see you making Arancini

Those cheese pulls are phenomenal

Haha, gosh dang Taku, so quiet in the forest an your mic is so good, we pretty much had a full on ASMR session haha!! As usual, nice vid and left my watering, your food looks so bomb!!

Looked Delicious !!! all parts ! who would not love to have the 2 of you join in anything. Wishing you a Healthy, Happy, Safe and Successful New Year !!! 💕👍🍾

Love it I just got into mushroom hunting and found some Morels last spring and am looking forward to more this year! Your announcement is you got an adventure vehicle and are going traveling!😄😄😜🍄 👍

That looks delicious like always! I mostly pick Liberty Caps myself but I'll try this recept this year!

Man those grilled chantrelles look so beautiful

Live watching all your content!! Stay wonderful

Just discovered your channel and digging it. Great stuff!

Ey! Glad to see you guys finally found some Chanterelles! Amazing looking dishes as always!

Dang! You’re almost at half a million sub! Still remember when you had barely 50k. Congrats! 🎉 you never disappoint on your videos!

Omg the oranchini is insane!!! Can’t wait to hear what you’re up to 2021.

The arancini looks amazing! Great video guys thanks.

My favorite channel! Love watching you prepare.... so awesome

that eye contact whilst cheering is actually a thing - my fiance always reminds me as well hahaha

Love the videos man, I think I started following you around the 27K mark and am so stoked to see where you are now. Here’s to nothing but the best for 2021. PS, your brown sugar rice seasoning is delicious

Love chanterelles, my favorite mushroom.

Did I just hear Taku's stomach growl at 12:52? Now it's on video of Taku showing how we feel when we watch his videos lol

great video. loved how you had the "and this is what you can do with the left overs" part.

Both dishes look fantastic! Happy New Year!

@Outdoor Chef life - you need to try butter fried chantrells with broiled yellow perch. The flavour combo is sensational! I like to serve it with smashed potatoes (Matty Mathesons recipe).

Great video!! Made the risotto. Was awesome!! Gonna make that mozzarella ball thing next. Can’t wait!!

Love your vids so much! Thank you for all the tips and tricks on foraging and cooking. Happy New Year and please come to Nova Scotia for a few videos some time.

Be safe picking and eating those mushrooms! A lot of people have gotten sick or died! Food looked delish! Made my mouth water! Thank You, Taku and Jocelyn!

Eye contact! 🤣 I thought it was only for shaking hands and conversation. Thanks for the tip!

It is a pure pleasure watching you wield the butcher knife. Great Skill. :D I truly enjoy this video.

Beautiful risotto guys.. My mouth is watering

Okay... we need more videos of you guys in a week. One is not enough. 🤓😁

| Delicious Chanterelle Risotto and Arancini with a 2021 Cliff Hanger! EPIC!!!!

Thank you for your channel. I am looking forward to trying the mushroom risotto. I am in Northern MN and we get chanterelles in the fall. Grilling them looks fantastic. I am looking forward to hearing the big news! I also really enjoy your fishing videos. I lived on the Oregon coast for a few seasons and it was amazing. I want to move back.

In Northern Italy, they stuff the Arancini with a Bolognese or Ragu instead of cheese (cheese is more southern Italy).... It would be fun to stuff arancini with a mushroom ragu. Best way to do it... make a ragu, freeze it in small ice cube trays so it is solid, and then press it in the center like the cheese ball.

Every Monday I sit at work knowing if I make it through this day I will live until a Taku Tuesday. Then Tuesday comes around and can't wait to get home and chill with Taku. Taku, taknk you.

Jos should start a channel on her gardening projects. I'm curious to see how much of the produce ends up in your dishes.

12:52 boborygmi 🔊 . Stomach is growling! Mine is too.

Damn your life is goals every video is a must watch.

Love going mushroom hunting. May I suggest that when you find an old mushroom you won't take to put it back into it's hole and cover it (or for any mushroom you don't harvest). Helps to keep things sustainable. I was told this by a forest ranger. Great videos! Happy New Year!

That cheese pull is making me drool

Went chanterelle hunting last weekend and we got around 50 - just an enormous amount! Wish I'd seen this video first! I ate some fresh but dehydrated the rest and ground them up. Mixed with chicken bouillon and seasonings, it makes great mushroom soup to be enjoyed all winter.

knife skills on point my guy. Great video once again!

Hey Taku: those boletes at the beginning of your video appear to be suillus caerulescens. They love Douglas fir, and there’s been a bumper crop of them lately.

Chanterelle Mushroom wood fired pizza is so delicious! I would love to see you make one on youtube! Great finds. Cheers from Oregon!

Both meals looked really good, jealous of the nice weather, I'm getting ready to go ice fishing 🍻 from 🇨🇦

Keep em comin taku! 💯🔥

Hunted morels and oysters in the spring and lobsters and white chanterelles in the fall for the first time. I sm really excited for next year and hoping to find enough to put on the menu

Great video...You always enjoy cooking in the outdoors and have that love of life while doing it.. I am soo glad that when you were finishing the risotto that you didn't finish it with the dreaded white truffle oil..LOL It seems like these days everyone is using white truffle oil...It has it's place.. I am a retired chef, and back in the early 2000's I worked s a sous chef at a restaurant outside of Detroit.. The chef there was a mushroom fanatic.. It was kind of a mushroom master class for me...I was introduced to mushrooms that I had never seen before and have not since.. He mostly bought from wild foragers who would show up at all hours.. I can tell you that there is nothing like getting a 20 pound order of chanterelles during dinner service; knowing that you had to get them cleaned and processed before you leave for the night.. I am not confident enough to forage for my own mushrooms and now that I am disabled I have a difficult time walking, but last year I was tickled to find a morel in the woods behind my home..

You were here in Washington about 6 weeks too early for the chanterelles but they are plentiful (if you know where to go) and bigger than what you were picking. Been picking them for more than 50 years and have used them in many ways. Cooked with grains, similar to the risotto, is one of my favorites. Bulgar wheat with chicken stock, shallots, chanterelles and thyme is really excellent camp food also.

I was waiting for this lol good timing

Happy New Year to you both!!

I heard someone’s stomach growl while Taku was chopping up the garlic 🤣🤣🤣

LMAO 19:53 the replay of you making eye contact and the slow motion "kanpaiii" killed me.

I love chanterelles, probably my favorite mushroom. Here in Sweden we often call them "Skogens guld" which translates to "The gold of the forest", fits well with your video title. The risotto looks super tasty. I'm not very good in the kitchen and usually just fry them in lots of butter and put them on some nice bread. Still tasty though ;)

That hazy is the best kind of beer. Thanks for the inspiration dude! #getbacktothebasics

You guys are so awesome together. 😁👍💯

Yes you can fish Loch Ness. Maybe post covid you and Jocelyn could do some OCL in the UK and Europe? That would be nice to see.

12:51 that stomach growl is all of us watching this RN lol

What! Can't wait to hear the announcement.

From this side of the video, the boletes looked a bit more like suillus species rather than kings but both are good eating. I’m still finding a few chanterelles here and there up here in Portland. Happy foraging! ❤️

Happy New Year!

Your announcement is that your getting your own Netflix show.

Excellent overview !!!!

love it, made a few things from yo vids my g, GREAT FOOD!

Last time I made wild mushroom pizza. I spent the next 6 hours staring at the moon lol. That second recipe is on my to do list for sure btw.
