Alex, let's do a series using canned corn. I travel all over the world and canned corn is the one item I can find in every grocery store. It's affordable, can be sweet or savory and lends itself to different textures. Would love to see what you do with it!
Somebody needs to start stocking up on free condiments. 😉 pro tip/ poor person who is a foodie tip: They're at grocery stores, gas stations, grocery stores, coffee shops etc. There is no reason not to have free honey, sugar, mayo, ranch, blue cheese, catsup, mustard, buffalo sauce, relish, dijon mustard, horseradish sauce, fresh lemon wedges, olive oil, parmesean, red pepper flakes, saurkraut, pickles, onions, salt, pepper etc etc etc. Literally all of these i have a habbit of picking up whatever i am low on and shamelessly taking it with me. I have never had anyone say anything.
I'm not sure that you will see this comment, but thank you so much! I'm right now in Kyiv and spend most of my day in s shelter. I don't have a luxury to spend much time in my kitchen and there aren't much produce on our shelves and in markets, so I decided to try chickpeas and your videos helped a lot ❤️🇺🇦 plus I love your attitude, your videos bring smile to my face ❤️
I just realized a fair amount of books on the background. You know? it would be amazing if you made a video telling about good books to get better at cooking! I don't know about the rest of your viewers, but i would realy appreciate it!
I highly recommend a cookbook written by my Culinary Arts professor - she is Professor Timarree Hagenburger and the cookbook is "The Foodie Bar Way". It was written for people who don't know how to cook and just microwave and consume frozen food. Also good for people with well developed culinary prep skills. Very simple recipies and beautiful illustrations. Amazon has it. The blog "Mama Eats Plants" has fantastic easy recipies - also The Minimalist Baker has a blog that I highly recommend.
Wow, I just stumbled across this channel and honestly I think I'm in love with this guy. Good food, good humor, good accent, good camera work... Just amazing!
Alex, you are like MacGyver; yet with food 👌🏻😄 I love how you can take one simple ingredient and make it work in so many different ways! Love your channel 😊
Made two trays of meringues for a party last night that had many guests with dietary requirements. Some people took one to be polite I am sure, but then the whole giant stack disappeared from the food table. HUGE HIT! I spent ages answering questions about them. People couldn't believe they were Vegan - even the mini people thought they were aces. Thanks Alex, you continue to make people think I am amazing in the kitchen. T
You sir, are an amazing cook and live up to your country's reputation for excellence in food. Keep making videos! And I love chickpeas and beans of all kinds. Healthy, cheap, and widely available.
Alex, thank you so much for these recipes - especially the onion brains and the pancakes! I’ve been using chick pea flour but love that I can use tinned chick peas instead. So clever!
Oh my! That sandwich is now my all-time favorite sandwich in the world. I don’t add the turkey, as I found it really didn’t need it - for my tastes. If everyone else loves it, by all means enjoy it that way. But the chickpeas, avocado, caramelized onions, pickles, and more...just wow!! It’s easy enough to make for a quick meal, but it doesn’t work as a workday lunch. It gets soggy and loses that bright character, which is too bad. Keep cooking with chickpeas! They are one of my favorite ingredients, but they are often overlooked as bland. Thank you for my new sandwich obsession.
Alex I've said before but I'll say it again. I really like your style man, very different than the other cooking channels out there. Also the not food related stuff is great. Keep it up
I love this series! Chickpeas can be so much more than hummus or a salad garnish (like the classic, but little known, Sicilian panelle sandwich). Looking forward to parts 2 and 3 :)
Very excited for the remaining recipes! My wife and I have always been dubious about frying but I may take the plunge and start with those lovely bhajis :)
Oh my goodness, Alex, I absolutely love you. I have watched soooo many cooking videos on TH-cam and just you stand out. Love how genuine, creative and passionate you are. Plus, that accent is to die for 🌟🤙🏽💃
Love, love, love the veggie recipes! Please make more recipes that make us want to eat our vegetables!! Those are the ones I share with my friends and my face book group.
Marie Bach if you didn't want to use an egg, try chia seeds soaked in water or ground flax seeds mixed with water (about the same amount as one egg would be) :)
Aquafaba works in recipes where there's enough flour. I make simple breakfast cookies with it and I swear nobody tastes the difference. Also, it makes the cookies nice and soft. I'm not even vegan but I love them.
MagycArwen would you mind telling the recipe or where I can find it? I'm most curious about aquafaba, but I don't know where to start. Cookies sound like a very good start.
Thank you so much Alex, I really really enjoyed watching you create all these delicious recipes, and I’m going to try the chickpeas recipe but without the turkey as I don’t eat meat, but with Avocado I think it will be delicious too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Those are the best looking onion bhaji / pakora/ pakoda I've seen (I've made tons over decades). Smart idea using chickpeas instead of besan (chickpea flour) because you'll get more texture and crunch, instead of the smoother pakoras
Now you got to tell us what happens with the wooden spoon...I've never heard this way before. Sorry it's so long since your reply - I've just found this channel. Thank you.
You should have made an Indian Kadhi from chick pea or 'Besan'. It's like this deep rich flavourful Indian spice broth that is filled with either vegetables or with those onion pakodas you made in this recipe.
Hello Alex ! Trop contente que mon ami allemand m'ai fiérement montré tes vidéo. Moi qui manquait d'idées pour ces futures semaines chargées au niveau université ça tombe bien ! Je suis aussi vraiment contente de voir un français s'exprimer en anglais sur TH-cam, j'attends impatiemment de voir tes prochaines vidéo! Love from Sweden :D
Are usually make Pavlova when my sister comes over her daughter is a vegan, I absolutely love your eggless meringue! Thank You very much! 😊♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Chickpea flour is amazing for coating fish cutlets (like cod)! So crispy and light. Or just had water and olive oil for traditional Italian flat bread.
As an American, when I watch your videos I always notice how reasonable your portions are! (and they look small compared to what we typically would eat here...at least at restaurants...)
I've recently found your channel and i am just in love with it. i can really sence tour passion for good food. definitely the best cooking channel on youtube
So i actually stopped eating canned foods because it’s not as fresh as (fresh foods) beans I will still by dry... but garbanzos are harder to cook and will now buy canned again! Along with sardines!! You’re so great thank you!! I could save money now!
Going back over some of your videos because I love your content! I cant believe how some people dislike any of your videos, you are so funny, cool and have such an awesome mind because some of the food and ideas you come up with is amazing. Thanks from Australia! :)
I was so surprised when he did Bhaji! My favorite childhood snack. Always asked my mom for cauliflower Bhaji every morning by the time I got home from school. She'd begrudgingly make it for me once a month :)
Hi Alex, Awesome recipes!!!! just a tip for your chickpea pancakes. You said it was harder to flip because the top is so runny. One of the ways you can get around that is to put a lid on the pan until you get ready to turn it. It will partially cook the top so that it is not runny when you flip them. You will also need less time on the other side because of this. Keep making video!!! Can't wait to see more!!
this is so crazy, i have two huge cans of chickpeas here that I wanted to make channa masala from (which never worked out) and dont know, what to make from them and now here you come and give me the solution :-D
Bhaji looks delicious. If you want try making Bajji, south Indian style, dip thinly sliced eggplants, onion slices, bell peppers or potato slices in chickpea batter you have made and deep fry! Two for one batter for making Bhaji and Bajji!! :)
Thanks Alex. Always wondered what I could do with chick peas. I am gonna try these. The meringue looks fabulous and my husband loves turkey sandwiches. I think he will love that recipe a lot!
Alex, let's do a series using canned corn. I travel all over the world and canned corn is the one item I can find in every grocery store. It's affordable, can be sweet or savory and lends itself to different textures. Would love to see what you do with it!
+Linda Dorman Who's voting for that one too ?
Alex French Guy Cooking Alex we are still waiting on this one. Dough im loving your croissant series.
Yum. Corn on pizza, cold pasta salad, corn fritters, added to other veg, corn pudding, etc.. :*)
Canned corn is so gross!
D Motta just fry it and put jalapenos on top.
You said you “just need a can of chickpeas”.... i have only that
Ana Maria Glad that im not the only one...
Ana Maria 😂👍🏽
Lmao!! Back to my search for easy recipes
Baked, crisped, mashed, fried, whipped, deep fried, boiled, french friedified, straight out of the can raw
Somebody needs to start stocking up on free condiments. 😉 pro tip/ poor person who is a foodie tip: They're at grocery stores, gas stations, grocery stores, coffee shops etc. There is no reason not to have free honey, sugar, mayo, ranch, blue cheese, catsup, mustard, buffalo sauce, relish, dijon mustard, horseradish sauce, fresh lemon wedges, olive oil, parmesean, red pepper flakes, saurkraut, pickles, onions, salt, pepper etc etc etc. Literally all of these i have a habbit of picking up whatever i am low on and shamelessly taking it with me.

Wow, I'm amazed. I didn't know meringue could be made without eggs. Incredible!!!

Keep up the good work alex. These dishes are even possible to make for the students living on a budget
+Obaid Mustafa 👊 oui !
Thank you. I’m vegan, so I’m always looking for recipes that I can veganize. These are easy to veganize.
Yes me 2, this is a useful video🍡🥪🥞🥰🙌🌱
I love to veganize recipes too! Just like a science experiment always fun!
Hey, going vegetarian one day a week, got y any favs?
Wow thank you for your service letting everyone know you’re vegan
@@Awesumpye25 wow, thanks for letting us know you're a prejudiced type of person against anyone outside your diet/culture
I just realized a fair amount of books on the background. You know? it would be amazing if you made a video telling about good books to get better at cooking! I don't know about the rest of your viewers, but i would realy appreciate it!

i would appreciate it too!

Who knew that chickpeas were so versatile? Thank you
I'll leave the turkey out of the sandwich for a vegetarian option! Thanks for the idea!
Alex, you are like MacGyver; yet with food 👌🏻😄 I love how you can take one simple ingredient and make it work in so many different ways! Love your channel 😊
Just a can is the most perfect cooking show ever........it’s like performing magic on the basics

People couldn't believe they were Vegan - even the mini people thought they were aces. Thanks Alex, you continue to make people think I am amazing in the kitchen. T
I've just started making a chickpea salad and it's made me appreciate them in a way I haven't before - looking forward to parts 2 and 3
More possibilities for the "from a can/from a jar" series: roasted red peppers! Artichoke hearts! Olives! Kidney beans!
You sir, are an amazing cook and live up to your country's reputation for excellence in food. Keep making videos! And I love chickpeas and beans of all kinds. Healthy, cheap, and widely available.
Is it me, or does this guy have an Arnold Horseshack vibe from "Welcome back Carter" 😂😂
Kotter.
Welcome Back!
Alex, thank you so much for these recipes - especially the onion brains and the pancakes! I’ve been using chick pea flour but love that I can use tinned chick peas instead. So clever!
Onion brains??? Thanks spellcheck! I meant onion bhajis of course ...
Oh my! That sandwich is now my all-time favorite sandwich in the world. I don’t add the turkey, as I found it really didn’t need it - for my tastes.

That crispy onion recipe was just mind-blowing ... man you're a wizard Alex!
What a beautiful French accent! And nice recipes! Merci beaucoup pour les recettes
Thanks Alex, I will be doing much baking tomorrow, my daughter can not eat gluten, finally some delicious new recipes to try, much appreciated
Alex I've said before but I'll say it again. I really like your style man, very different than the other cooking channels out there. Also the not food related stuff is great. Keep it up
"Using just a can of chickpeas...
Let's start with a turkey sandwich"
I love this series! Chickpeas can be so much more than hummus or a salad garnish (like the classic, but little known, Sicilian panelle sandwich). Looking forward to parts 2 and 3 :)
chick pea liquid meringue -- wtf! Amazing!
Cuáles fueron los ingredientes del merengue,
Agua de garbanzo limón, y azúcar?
Si es de azúcar, lo puedo sustituir?
It's almost midnight and you have me opening cans of chickpeas Loool 😂💕
Very excited for the remaining recipes! My wife and I have always been dubious about frying but I may take the plunge and start with those lovely bhajis :)
Oh my goodness, Alex, I absolutely love you. I have watched soooo many cooking videos on TH-cam and just you stand out. Love how genuine, creative and passionate you are. Plus, that accent is to die for 🌟🤙🏽💃
Awesome dishes for when you're on (or even for when you're not) on a budget.
My god I became attracted to a French man for the first time. I love cooking channels so I'm glad there are soooo many of them ^_^. THANK YOU!!!!!
Love, love, love the veggie recipes! Please make more recipes that make us want to eat our vegetables!! Those are the ones I share with my friends and my face book group.
Your French accent is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard
i love chickpeas, so this was a great video with some really great recipe ideas, thank you!
"poor man piping thing" im in love!
I wonder... could the chickpea juice replace the eggs in the pancake recipe, just as it does for meringue? I'm not even vegan, just curious. :)
+Marie Bach They clearly can't. They can bind to a certain extend but not that far.
Marie Bach if you didn't want to use an egg, try chia seeds soaked in water or ground flax seeds mixed with water (about the same amount as one egg would be) :)
Thank you Alex and Hannah! :)

Dude I really like watching you-you are a beautiful character 😋
I really learnt from your sour dough clips.Thanx.Blessings,peace and love xo
J'adore les pois chiches !! J'attends avec impatience la suite de cette série !! C'est ta meilleure série depuis les tartines !
OMGoodness!!! Alex, I had no idea one could do so much with chickpeas. So know I’m going to look beyond just using chickpeas in salads. Thank you. 😍😍😍
That meringue is amazing. What a concept.
That sandwich is so creative and looks so good. Never seen anything like it.
I am salivating over the turkey sandwich already...
"I wrote the recipe, I shot the video, and still I can't believe this!" Haha!
You deserve a lot of cred, Alex, and a lot more subscribers!
I don't get it, meringue have been around for a long time. He wrote the recipe?
Alex! You should try a "10 Creative Recipes Using Dates" series! I've enjoyed all of these series so far. Cheers!
Made the sandwich for the family today. Everyone loved it! Thank you!
Thank you so much Alex, I really really enjoyed watching you create all these delicious recipes, and I’m going to try the chickpeas recipe but without the turkey as I don’t eat meat, but with Avocado I think it will be delicious too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Those are the best looking onion bhaji / pakora/ pakoda I've seen (I've made tons over decades). Smart idea using chickpeas instead of besan (chickpea flour) because you'll get more texture and crunch, instead of the smoother pakoras
You are amazing! A serious foodie. Thank you for sharing!!
You totally blew my mind with the meringues. Probably trying that out tonight!
I knew of a few recipes but you took it up a notch. I may just try out some of them. Thanks so much.
best Chanel ever so inspired. i love all of the creative recipes episode the most
hey alex glad u try indian recipies.thr bhaji u made will be maor tasty with a cocunut chutny
i mean more tasty
How about your favorite instant pot recipes?
Coconut chutney sounds interesting.
I thought that hummus is going to be my lunch tomorrow, but that is certainly not happening :D
Spread love like butter. Luv that phrase. Glad you still say that at the end of your videos. I love saying that to friends.
you can put a wooden spoon into the oil to see if the temperature ist right. Great video, can't wait to see the next part.
Now you got to tell us what happens with the wooden spoon...I've never heard this way before. Sorry it's so long since your reply - I've just found this channel. Thank you.
Love your videos! Can't wait to try them on my family!!! Thanks you!
I love these multipart videos
Merci pour ces belles recettes et ton humour!!!
WOW WHAT A CHANNEL, I'M GETTING SO MANY HEALTHY IDEAS, LOVE IT.
Love your recipes! Please more just a can recipies!
C'est vraiment mon format préféré parmi tout ce que tu fais! J'avais adoré la série sur les galettes de riz et j'ai hâte de voir la suite :)
Chickpea juice meringue? That's crazy town! I love it.
I am amazed! Just wonderful!
Well done! Note: baking soda is NOT baking powder. Also, I am glad a Frenchman is not too proud to make meringue out of aqua-farba...
+Scd Observer I think I said baking soda twice in the video but only corrected it once. I rarely use baking soda.
You should have made an Indian Kadhi from chick pea or 'Besan'. It's like this deep rich flavourful Indian spice broth that is filled with either vegetables or with those onion pakodas you made in this recipe.
Yashwin Ghosh Pakoda Kadhi is ❤️
YES. Also, what's up?
Yashwin Ghosh mmm yum

Black bean recipes please ! :)
I've recently found your channel and i am just in love with it. i can really sence tour passion for good food. definitely the best cooking channel on youtube
I just made them. They are amazing! I’m a diabetic and I can eat these.
So i actually stopped eating canned foods because it’s not as fresh as (fresh foods) beans I will still by dry... but garbanzos are harder to cook and will now buy canned again! Along with sardines!! You’re so great thank you!! I could save money now!
I need to try those meringues and the pancakes too!
Watching it all again in 2021 ❤️
Loved this series. Very creative, delicious and affordable. Thank you

I make falafel all the time and my favorite twist is sweet potato falafel! It's soooo 😊
I'm in love. Love with chickpeas.
Watching again during quarantine, very helpful.
You are a brilliant cook.....impressed
Thanks Alex. Always wondered what I could do with chick peas. I am gonna try these. The meringue looks fabulous and my husband loves turkey sandwiches. I think he will love that recipe a lot!
you are my new favourite channel Alex. Merci beaucoup....salut!
I make the pancakes useing just water baking powder and vanilla, so good , very filling, vegan option.
boiled chickpeas with just salt and cumin and hot pepper is my favorite snack in winter time. not boring at all.
but those recipes are sooo creative. I will absolutely try them.
keep up the creativity and the good sense of humour.
I love this kind of series 😊
The Bhaji look amazing!! I'm definitely trying that!!!
This is a fantastic series, got some left over cans from the last time we made hummus, gotta try one of these!
Those fried onions look like heaven.
