Tip: when Frank says "cook with your friends and family," he DOES NOT mean as ingredients. I learned this the hard way so you don't have to.

My biggest tip is make clean up easy for yourself. Clean little things up as you go so you have less at the end. Then right after you plate, rinse off your pots and pans while it'll come of easy! You don't have to super clean them, just rinse most of it off. Then clean up after you eat is a lot easier, you keep your kitchen easier, and you'll be more prone to making dinner instead of walking into your dirty kitchen and giving up cause it's all dirty and ordering take out instead.

+1 for this comment. I’ve started doing this as of one year ago. Can’t begin to describe how much easier life is when the kitchen is clean after dinner and ready for the next day. And as you get better at cooking and this becomes more of a habit, it becomes more instinctive to do it as you go without even thinking of it. Having a washing machine helps a lot too 😅

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know

Basically all the stuff that gets cut out of these type of videos, but is the reality of what a home cook should expect to deal with. Love the videos. Thank you Chef.

I still think that having went to culinary school and worked as a professional cook for a couple of years is the most precious experience I have. I don't like cooking as a professional anymore but I still very much like to cook for others. It's such an easy way to give smiles to peoples faces, even those who don't really care for cooking or food can still be comforted by some good food. From simple things like a mushroom pasta to something a little more complicated like oxtail bourguignon. Love goes through the stomach is a common saying but I completely agree, having someone in the household who can cook properly and enjoys cooking is a gift that should never be overlooked.

Kudos for the nice and engaging videos. Maybe just a few tips on the carbonara. 1) Most of us Italians use more yolk and less egg white, or even just the egg yolk. You can count 1 yolk per 100g of pasta and then add one extra yolk to the total: 300g of pasta would make 4 yolks. 2) No oil: put the guanciale on a cold skillet and let it slowly get crispy on the outside (but still tender on the inside). 3) Garofalo pasta is excellent! Rigatoni would be the more traditional way. It helps scooping more sauce than spaghetti. 4) Lightly roasted and then crushed peppercorns do add extra flavor to the dish. The same works for cacio e pepe, which is nothing else than carbonara without the eggs. 5) Take out the cooked guanciale from the pan, in order to keep its crunch, and add it once you are almost ready mixing the cooked pasta with the egg/cheese cream. 6) The rendered fat on the pan can often be too much. You can take some of it out and in case add it later on. We use to add a couple of spoons of this fat to the egg/cheese cream. It helps tempering the eggs and makes the mix nice and creamy. 7) No salt in the sauce and very little salt in the pasta water (like half the usual amount)! Always taste your pecorino before preparing carbonara. The more seasoned one can be even too salty. And guanciale is quite savory as well. Parmigiano Reggiano can “soften” the strong taste of pecorino romano, but if you wanna taste the true Roman carbonara, use only pecorino romano. 8) Add very little pasta water. If it’s too dry, add some more. Too much water at once can ruin the dish.

Thank you so much, Frank! I'm a home cook. I took your Fettuccine Alfredo video with Emily and figured out the recipe with grated Parmigiano Reggiano along with the rind for the parm broth, butter, and fresh Fettuccine pasta. (Cost is around $25; I didn't buy an 80 lb. wheel, nor am I up to making the pasta. Yet.) After having made it many times, I've now essentially mastered it. Both wife and daughter love it and ask for it now. It has become easy and relatively quick to make. It is so yummy!

@cirrus.floccus Рік тому
​@@user-ur2po3vp2u Honestly, it's not really a thing to get something you can't eat. It's way more likely to get something that just doesn't taste great. So the worst thing that can happen is that you won't enjoy your meal. I started cooking ~10 years ago and I NEVER (and I repeat: never) made something I absolutely couldn't eat. Maybe once a year I'll make something where I can only eat 70% (because I burned the other 30%) and I made my share of dishes that had way too much of a certain spice, but those could always be diluted (though that led to me having to eat that midiocre dish for three days straight... but still, it only happens maybe twice a year).

My tips are if you can buy a product pre prepared it's probably marked up. Here in the UK, grated cheese is almost twice the cost per kilo compared to a block of cheese. Same goes for presliced vegetables. Don't be scared of unfamiliar words. Some people get put off by terms like roux, jus or compote but they are all very simple things. If you don't know what something is, just check. Cook when you want to not when you need to if possible. Some dishes can be prepared days in advance, put in the fridge or freezer then reheated in the oven with much less effort. Save off cuts. Whether it's meat, fruit or veg off cuts can be useful to make other dishes, stocks, stews, smoothies or even feed to pets.

I really enjoyed the video. Wanted to improve cooking skills and was searching for local cooking classes, private cooking tutors(!), and even online culinary schools until I rethought that there might be some cooking 101 videos on UKposts. What a fun and supportive video. I hope you have many more of this type.

I’m not a beginner, but I like watching videos like this in case there is a good tip I’ve never thought of or heard. Now as for your carbonara, I appreciate how you used guanciale because that is how it’s traditionally made in Italy (never bacon because it completely changes the flavor of the dish). However I noticed two mistakes, one with the guanciale, you are not supposed to add it to a hot pan. I heard the immediate sizzle when the guanciale hit the pan. The guanciale should be added to a cold pan and cooked slowly to gently render out the fat. If you do it that way you don’t even need the extra oil. Also it prevents it from getting burnt. Second mistake is that there is no need to add additional salt to your cheese and egg mixture since the pecorino cheese is already very salty; all you need is the pepper. One other tip I’ll give is to add a little bit of the pasta water to the cheese and egg mixture before adding it to the pasta. It just makes it easier to mix.

how about he used Egg whites for carabonara ? I thought that only egg yolks can be used
@yatithebeast
@yatithebeast Рік тому
@@Funnychainsaw26 Well you can actually use either the whole egg or just the yolks. A lot of chefs prefer to use just the yolks because it has a richer taste. But traditionally in Italy they would use the whole egg because they were not going to waste perfectly good food. But it is widely debated even amongst Italians.

You helped me more with one sentence than I thought possible. Worst case scenario you order pizza or Chinese. I put so much pressure on myself. I’m just learning. So I’m super stressed and tense. That relaxed me…. Thank you. ❤ The video was very helpful all in all.

One thing that seems to help me: I read the recipe and I don’t start cooking until I can repeat it out loud verbally with no mistakes. This also allows me to cook with much more fluidity as I’m not constantly referencing back to the recipe/video.

Cooking is the best thing that's happened to me, it has been such an outlet and escape from my "normal" activities. I'm just loving prepping meals that the people I love enjoy! (now I just need to get my kids to eat things other han pancakes and fries....)

I can confirm that practice makes perfect. I am gifting everyone I know a jar of homemade caramel sauce. I ruined the first batch (because caramel wants medium low heat and your full attention and I wasn't paying attention) but every batch after that turned out better and better to the point that last batch has a very different quality to it than the earlier ones, despite using the same ingredients. I am still not at the level where I feel like I've mastered the recipe enough to begin modifying it but it was quite enlightening to see how my caramel production changed over the course of three days.

Good tips! I didn't see mentioned, it's important for the pasta/pasta water not to be too hot before incorporating the eggs, lest the egg scrambles before coming to temperature.
