      just to let you know you're one of my favorite "TV Chefs" of all time.
      a lot of youtube/tv cooking shows have a way of coming off kind of pretentious and I love that both your personality and cooking seems very humble but still charming at the same time.

    Love this series, the enthusiasm and creativity Dan shows!
    Another thing for people with leftover pastry lamenting in their freezers, you can cut it into squares. Dollop them over a savoury stew or a pie, and bake in the oven. They can soak up the filling and are ready to dip in there!

Your vocabulary is accessible and you don't overdo words such as "Amazing" and never resort to cursing. You make me feel as if I can recreate these dishes (and some I have). Shows one can be a master at something without being a master jerk. Thank you.

    Dumb luck: I happened to have thawed PP in the fridge, everything necessary for that strudel, and a desire for breakfast. Setting the record for time from video first posted to trying. Toasting the coconut now. Looking forward to this one.
    Dinner was a missed opportunity: Could have gone with turkey ala king instead of just chimkin.

    Lovin' this series so much! I feel like it's answering every question I have of "I want to start using X common ingredient in my cooking but have no idea where to start." Dan is obviously super knowledgeable and I love the little tidbits he throws in, like what kind of knife to use to cut the pastry to help semi-newbie cooks like me. While I have seen the bread version of egg in a hole or basket or whatever, I loved this version (always happy to see something that includes more veggies!) and it's going on my next week's meals-to-make list.

      @@sopiabobia3699 I just made puff pastry pop tarts 2 weeks ago. It’s just peach pie filling, which you can find recipes for online Between 2 pieces of puff pastry. Soo good.
      My favorite has been: spinach and artichoke bombs. I just wrapped spinach and artichoke dip in the pastry and baked it. Super filling and decadent. They were very well liked
      My best received at work was a weird take on a croque madame
      I cut the puff pastry into 4 pieces/ sheet and put Bechemel sauce, ham, and cheese (Swiss or gruyere) then cooked it for a few mins and put whipped egg whites and a yolk on top (cloud eggs) and topped with chives, avocado, and tomato it looks super pretty and tastes even better.
      Puff pastry is great with brie cheese, I put a mini wheel with fresh fruit, jam, or honey and wrap it in pastry and bake it, works great for small gatherings or to bring to a wine and cheese party. The stuff is limitless.

    Maybe for an episode try to incorporate the "no waste" idea that Sorted does (3 meals where you don't have any ingredients left over, besides kitchen staples like salt, oil, pepper, sugar). For example, the condensed milk used for the strudel might only be $0.96 for the recipe, but then you have the rest of the can sitting in your fridge/getting tossed. And the cost of the can is more than $1 so that's also money wasted.

    I used this puff pastry for the first time and it DID NOT "puff". What the heck did I do wrong? It looked great, as an upper pie crust, however, it was thick and very firm. Certainly not puffed or flaky. Could my dough have been too cold? I baked using a convection oven at 400F. PS... It's a different time now in late 2022. This same $2.99 box is now $6.49 at y local grocery store.
