I want to see the reverse of this episode. Ben and the food team get a list of ingredients from the 3 Normals and have 30 minutes to have a plan and design the 3 meals for 2. Then the Normals show their plans for the food.
Good idea!
@@SortedFood Do it!
Would be fun to see this
Kush on camera sounds really fun
Yes
Totally agree
I think the bigger difference here, is that Ben and the food team were able to buy the ingredients and then make a plan based on that, whereas the boys opened the bag, and had to on the spot come up with 3 entire dishes with a significant amount of cross-over ingredients. Would definitely be interesting to see the food team and Ben be put on the spot and have 3 of them share the kitchen and work in the same conditions as the boys with no time to plan
Yeah it’s definitely not a fair contest. Food team has a huge advantage here.
Food team and Ben are also allowed to go over time, The normals would not be allowed that.
Agreed! The food team also had more time. The normals basically had no time to plan anything at all, they should have at least had time to discuss what they wanted to do. Hilarious that ben commented on the chaos when they set it up so they'll end up in chaos 😅
I agree. There are two ways to make this fair. Either Ebbers only gets 30 minutes to compensate for having a plan already or the guys buy the ingredients for round two.
That second option sounds great to me. Let each of the three come up with a recipe they can cook within 30 minutes with a bunch of shared ingredients. Then see how well Ebbers, James and Holly manage to reproduce them without any foreknowledge or discussion time.
My thoughts exactly 👌
You know it's a good episode when you hear the three panic chatting before the video even begins 😂
A fun, and torturous, twist on this would be to give them the grocery bag and have them each create a dish one at a time. For example, Mike would get the full bag and make a dish, then Barry would go second and only have what Mike didn't use in order to make his dish...and then poor Jamie would have to make a dish with the remnants left by the other two. None of them would know what the others made until the final reveal and judgement. :D
Think that would be better suited to the Pros
@@debs5039 Better content with the normals
What? and not leave Mike the bottom of the barrel dregs?
Savage I love it!!
Oh, I LOVE this idea. They could do so many variations of this it would be ridiculously entertaining.
I feel like Mike was trying to harvest to think of everything in this challenge but was getting ignored. Now he knows what it feels like to be a mom. Bless his heart!
“It’s almost like you started cooking without a plan.”
That can be said for my kitchen even when I’ve had a plan. I just don’t shy away from kitchen carnage. Probably why I like watching Sortedfood videos. 😂
^ Relatable ! 😀
Seeing these challenges I notice Mike tries to be the one who is like okay guys let's hold hands and make good strides towards the same goal. Barry skips in one direction trying to be fancy and Jamie dashes in the other direction because he likes to charge head on with his goal.
Mike is the parent trying to keep hold of two hyperactive children that want to run to opposite ends of the toy store
Why do I always want to reach into the screen and hug Mike in these challenges? He always gets the short end of the stick during the challenge and takes the judgement at the end the most to heart 😢
The moment Ben got taken aback by Jamie’s dish was probably the best reaction I’ve seen in a hot minute
Yessss
He had such a look on him too, like "ooooh I'm gonna be stepping in it I wonder what ebbers will say he's gonna hate it", while in the middle of doing it
Amazing
With idea of no waste, i would add that all those veg ends and waste can be kept in a bag in the freezer and added to making a stock. (Just a crock pot with ends and water for 12 hrs)
🔥Excellent food waste tip!
I also started saving bread crusts from my picky 2yr olds sandwiches in an airtight container and baking them off into breadcrumbs once it gets full!
Each video gets me more and more excited for the Christmas live show. I cannot wait!
We can't wait either!
I'm glad there's a battle with a chef comparison as I think that stuff is really interesting.
However, did Ben and the food time plan and cook within the 30 minutes? I would assume not and therefore I don't know how accurate the comparison ia
Love how Barry is so excited for sprouts, then the blue cheese comes out.
I am barry and barry is me 😂 i’m always excited to see brussel sprouts but blue cheese is hit and miss lol
Sprouts are good with blue cheese. The acidity and bitterness of the sprouts is often off-set by cheese.
Love sprouts
I'm the opposite. Keep thee sprouts away from me, but the blue better be on the cheeseboard.
I'm honestly so blown away by how popular blue cheese is in the community. I think I've only ever met 3 people who eat the stuff & even they admit it's often too strong
Mike would be the perfect guest at any dinner. He loves food and simply lights up when something turns out great. No matter how homey or grand a meal is.
As for these recipes, I am no fan of parsnips or sprouts, but I am definitely going to try these recipes! Thank you guys!
If you aren't fond of a thing you aren't fond, and that's fair.
But what I often do with sprouts is stirfry them with chopped onions and diced bacon,
then add some spices like maybe just salt and pepper, maybe chili, maybe curry powder.
Might add in some mushrooms, or replace bacon with them if you are veg(a/terian).
Ofcourse adding in cheese will always do a nice trick (if you like cheese).
@@Gnomelotte Sounds good! Will try without bacon. Thank you!
An idea to spice these things up a bit. Have one of the ingredients "Go bad", meaning they aren't allowed to use it, after like 5 minutes so they've already planned a lot of the dishes. Really simulates the real life struggle of thinking you have something in the fridge, only to get home and realise it's rotten
Oh my goodness. So true! Or you realize you don't have enough. I started cooking something and then realized I didn't have enough milk and called a neighbor to save me.
Perfect! Had my milk go off a week ago! Lucky for me I have allergies and I love to bake so I have full fat dry milk in storage. But still its a pita when your halfway through dinner prep and you've to stop and do something else lol.
I've even used watered down plain yogurt instead of milk in muffins once lol. Added extra applesauce to make them moist. They turned out extremely yummy.
Idea for a Ben challenge…have Jamie and Barry’s kids pick a bag of groceries and let them taste at the end but tell Ben it was the normals until the end
Bring back the bloopers at the end of each episode please! They are very VERY sorely missed.
Loved the episode and ideas boys!
Edit: Also, I love seeing Ben cooking more in the kitchen! I missed this, you guys actually cooking and showing us recipes and tricks. Not just the games and competitions. I hate how that's what the Food Network turned into, from ACTUAL cooking shows all day every day, to what we have now, which is all competition shows. I hope to see more of you guys just cooking, instead of just competing (not that I don't love all of your other content from PIO to the Gadget Reviews and the (hoping for more) Pretentious Ingredients!).
Seasons greetings🎉🎊
It's that time of the year 🎊🎊

Thank you for showing more vegan and vegetarian options! Really gives me as vegetarian the opportunity to try the recipes 👍👍
I love those moments when they immediately realise it will be misunderstood or become a meme. :D In this video Jamie and his: Stop it. :D
Ben’s distress at Jamie at 5:14 is so hilarious omg
I am feeling everything Mike is experiencing when he picks up the blue cheese.
Haha! Blue cheese seems to be a bit like Marmite. You either love it or hate it.
Oh, I’m with Mike! Blue cheese? Blech! But as an American I would love to try Marmite. Need to see if Amazon carries it next time I order some Crunchies.
I’m with you too! Blue cheese is revolting!
@@rosejustice Slimy, oversalted blue cheese is disgusting but I love me some good blue cheese and I had a smoked blue cheese recently that was just brilliant.
For me, context is king when it comes to blue cheese. Eating it plain on crackers? Nah, I'm good. Using it as an ingredient in something? Hell yes baby.
Love how Jamie just went and made a savory mille feuille I'm cackling!!!
This was great! I'd maybe like to see the normals get some more planning time, as they seemed to get somewhere (Jamie and Barry's dishes) and then give up on the rest and give it to Mike, so I think maybe 5 minutes of planning time might get a more coherent idea?
I agree!
I get the impression that the Normals have been following Food Team recipes recently, but this was a return to a more classic format where the Normals relied on their skill alone. In that sense, the Food Team has both positives and negatives, but I do see it as a sign of growth for the channel.
Deep fry the parsnip peelings and season with salt and honey. Delicious!
Potato skins toasted with salt and pepper is really good too
1:49 My FIRST THOUGHT was: "I'm not going to say anything..."
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! lol
Please give slater some screen time with these, I feel like these types of challenges are right up his alley
Mike's "I have no idea what I've made" has to make it into an intro!
Ouch. Pine nuts. Those have gotten obscenely expensive in my part of Canada - CA$11.99 (£4.35) for a 100g bag. :(
1 and a half minutes in and I was worried it was just going to be a 30 minute argument of each normal coming up with a different idea and not wanting to listen to the other ideas! 😂 I mean id still watch but also kind of want to see a dish. Also see if they remembered any of the tricks the food team used last time they did this?!
3:52 Jamie doing the honey flip and looking so impressed by it
I loved seeing the “normals” do their challenge and then following it up with what the “pros” would do with the same ingredients! Really great video guys!!!
LOL I feel for the Normals. Unlike the Foodteam, they had zero time to plan what they would do with completely unknown ingredients and theme. Maybe next time you should reverse the order and have the Normals make the bag up.
Also. I feel for Mike. He has a lot of leadership potential if only Baz and Spaff would bloody well listen.
I’ve thought the exact same thing for a long while as the videos in this series have been released. It’s an entertaining challenge to watch because it tests the normals ability to think quickly and adapt quickly when their ad-libbed recipe eventually goes wrong but I dislike that Ebbers is never tested because he knows the ingredients, works with a team of chefs and enters with preplanned recipes to follow with clear and rigid steps so there’s never any uncertainty. I think it should be made fairer, either by letting the normals know what ingredients they will be using prior to the challenge or the ingredients be a mystery to Ebbers and the food team too so that they are in the same position as the normals and have to create quick brief recipes on the fly and adapt them as the process goes on
It's like Jay was talking directly at me when he said "stop it" 😐 LOLS.
Orange supremes are the best garnish for an old fashioned whiskey. Love them
I still want the team to gather what would be in a food box meant for the needy and make dishes from that. Show what they can do with with food parcels from the food bank

Take that salad and flash-fry a handful of the Brussels sprouts! It adds an amazing texture.
I adore these types of videos, always such creative dishes from the food team! And from the normals as well. Keep making these videos, they are awesome!!
Thanks Stefania, comments like this really do mean a lot to the whole team.
I'm currently making this recipe pack on the Sorted app. The puff pastry, sweet potato, blue cheese is so good
Jamie's "Stop it" at 1:50 was perfectly timed with my immature laugh, and that intro!
At first I really thought Ben blow torched that soup bowl for a bit of decoration 🤣🤣 very interesting crockery choice there.
I'd like to see these challenges but for Ben to have no prep time either.
I’ve never heard Ben hit that high of a note before 🤣🤣🤣
It was really cool to see a whole episode of vegetarian recipes that wasn't sold as a vegetarian episode and where no one even really mentioned it in the process! As a vegetarian who watches a lot of cooking shows I get so bored of hearing chefs go on about how to make up for missing protein and flavor when my experience as a cook is, like, bro, learn how to cook a dang vegetable main, it's not that complicated!

I've already made Ben's Ricotta and the tart this week from the Sidekick dishes - me and the other half loved them! People keep mistaking me for a chef thanks to the app...
My ricotta stayed in one piece though 😉
That's an amazing thing for people to say about you. Do you share your secret? 😂
@@SortedFood Shouting about it to everyone I know, annoying several with pictures! Your team's doing a fantastic job and got me from jars of spag-bol and oven chicken dippers to from fresh baked ricotta etc and yam burgers overnight.
Honestly..... that's INCREDIBLE!!!! Keep up the awesome work :)
I always feel like the normals should get 5 mins to plan
This was a tough bag imo! The boys did as great as I could
"take some of the 12 minutes from the last one" what a boss

I love this format. Thanks!
I think I've done variations of those last 3 dishes every other weekend for the last 6 months when I haven't had time to go shopping yet.
Look in the veg box and fridge; make a random pasta/rice/couscous dish; make a random soup; slap something on naan breads (don't usually buy pastry). Though mine usually features some sort of meat because I'm terrible.
In fairness to the normals, they had half an hour to think of, split and prepare 3 dishes
The food team had, who knows how long, to think of and split the ingredients and then half an hour per dish
Sorted needs a T-shirt with Barry being way too excited about brussel sprouts. I'd wear it
O Ebbers I just want to give him a Xmas hug lol x
The chaos is always fun in these, but I feel like 3-5 mins of planning before the cooking time starts would be fair. We would definitely still be chaos but it would be nice to see the actual thought process before hand
The ricotta in the oven really made me melt! Great episode guys :)
You can't critizise them for not having a plan, when you don't give them time to make a plan
How to make a Chef Vs Normal video: have the chef make anything at all with whatever ingredients he wants, then take those exact ingredients and give them to the normals to struggle with, then have the chef come back in and just make what he made before. Great formula, definitely not just a vessel for you guys to shamelessly promote your stuff.
Love these videos! Keep them up

I always love watching these videos, you guys are doing good works educating us normals to reduce food waste and entertaining us at the same time. Please keep doing what you're doing, and bring me back my bloopers please! 🤣
Thanks so much for watching Olivia!
@@SortedFood I've noticed your subtitle game drop a little recently. Used to be that a new video would have English subtitles for hard of hearing very quickly after uploading. Is there a reason for this?
If they're comfortable being on camera, I think it would be fun to see the food team try one of these challenges.

I don't think I have ever eaten most of those ingredients before, and the ones I have I didn't much care for. However, both the "normals" (who are no longer really normal) and our chef Ben made dishes I would be tempted to try. Well done boys!

You guys should totally collab with Sohla and Ham! They are great with these time-bound, ingredient-focussed cooking challenges.
You can definitely tell the difference between a chef and a normal by their eating habits 😂😂 Ebbers said he loves orange and lemon in his dishes around the festive period whereas I want stuffing and pigs in blankets and homemade sausage rolls around Christmas time 😂😂 basically I’m just a fat git who wants to overindulge for the entire month with treats that don’t need to be fancy, they just need to be in my belly 😂😂
Can we get a version of this where the normals and Ben see the contents of bag at the same time? Just to see the differences in their thought processes on the fly
Do you mean the Normals and Ben?
@@movingforwardLDTH shit yeah xD
I would argue that preventing waste should start in not buying 2 sweet potatoes that are for some unholy reason packed in a plastic bag.
According to my UK friends, most veggies in the UK are packaged like that. which seems absurd.
if i have milk left i allways make it rice pudding if it is close to expiring.
I get that you want to make weeknight meals easy, but most of us don't have a 30-minute challenge format we have to observe. I'd love to see the boys given a bit more time so they can spend 10 minutes making a plan. Maybe decouple the planning time from the cooking time.

Let's goooo grocery shop challenges are some of my favorites!
How long did it take food team to come up with dishes?
I don't think Barry has any right telling anyone that they went over time considering how many times he deliberately went past time in contests!
😂 fair.
I'd have done a sprouty fried rice with blue cheese, potato wedges with either a sweet potato pasta or similar to chefs cous cous , and I loved the bubble and squeak idea, I'd have put that spiced in the pastry, rocket could go with all, the orange I'd have made into a sorbet, not a big fan of orange in savoury dishes, I have a recipe for that atm. I also love the soup usea though, but I'd make it less of a creamed soup, and, yes I'd have a cup of tea, and probably washed up in an hour and a half for 3 meals, that's plenty of time
What Mike made would be called a fancy Colcannon in our house, my mum would make a basic one with parsnip, onion and potato.

Looks good~
Though I personally wouldn't call parsnip soup with puff pastry shards a feast 😅
I would love to see some IBS / FODMAP friendly weekday meals.
Guys could you show us a beginners cheese board starting on a tight budget and WITHOUT blue cheese. including crackers and pickles. only using supermarkets.
I know it can be entertaining to see the men in utter chaos...but could you get them some time to plan next time. Like a Christmas gift or New Years resolution. Even if it is just 7min? Thank you.
hi guy´s, when are you doing the danish cooking?. and a merry christmas to you all.
I see, so the guys get 30 minutes in the cubicle of the kitchen and Ben gets 90...... hmmmmm....
Let's be honest, anyone whose tried to cook at home with more than one person in the kitchen knows that's not helpful, it's a way to make enemies.
For 30 minutes, without planning, that's pretty damn good!
Great video as always
Why is mike's intro music "🎶🎵He's the player" when he can't even get a boyfriend? That's what I really want to know.
Where's the meat?
EDIT: That parsnip blue cheese soup thing looks awesome though.
The sweet potato baked and the shredded sprout salad I would eat everyday!! Right up my alley! Good Job Ebbers (and the R&D dept)
Honestly, they're such delicious recipes, you've gotta give them a go!
It would be interesting to see a mystery bag draft battle. Each normal has a mystery bag where they can pick one item and then the bags rotate to the next until all ingredients are gone.
I loved seeing Barry getting excited at Ben going over by 20 seconds.
Since the normals are getting so much better at cooking, I think you add a wild card in the next pass it on series. Basically pull in a random camera person or editor and have them "help"

I want to know if the food team made their meals in 30 minutes without a plan.
It is very easy when you are all the time in the world to figure out what you want to make and pick shared ingredients to make them.
How about Ebbers V's Normals V's Food team, same time, same ingredients no plan
Jamie honestly might be onto something with the savoury mille-feulle, that could be a next-level Boxing Day club sandwich. Turkey+Cranberry Sauce in the bottom filling, sliced pigs-in-blankets in the second filling, buttery pastry, someone stop me from trying this.
I asked the new ChatGPT model what it would come up with for these ingredients and with some tweaks, they don't sound too shabby either:
Me: _I have these ingredients: puff pastry, brussels sprouts, blue cheese, parsnips, ricotta, lemon, milk, sweet potato, arugula, onion and pine nuts. What recipes would a chef come up with for these ingredients?_
ChatGPT: _There are many different dishes that a chef might recommend cooking with puff pastry, brussels sprouts, blue cheese, parsnips, ricotta, lemon, milk, sweet potato, arugula, onion, and pine nuts. Some possible dishes include:_
- _Brussels sprouts and blue cheese tart: This is a savory tart made with puff pastry, brussels sprouts, blue cheese, and pine nuts. The pastry is rolled out and pressed into a tart tin, and then the vegetables and cheese are arranged on top. The tart is baked until the pastry is golden and the vegetables are tender._
- _Parsnip and ricotta gratin: This is a rich and creamy gratin made with parsnips, ricotta, milk, and lemon zest. The parsnips are sliced and cooked until they are tender, and then they are combined with the ricotta and milk and baked until the top is golden and bubbly._
- _Roasted sweet potato and arugula salad*: This is a simple and healthy salad made with roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, onions, and pine nuts. The sweet potatoes are sliced and roasted in the oven until they are tender and caramelized, and then they are combined with the arugula and onions and tossed with a lemon vinaigrette._
_Overall, there are many different dishes that a chef might recommend cooking with puff pastry, brussels sprouts, blue cheese, parsnips, ricotta, lemon, milk, sweet potato, arugula, onion, and pine nuts. The best dish will depend on the individual chef's preferences and the specific ingredients you have on hand._
Zero waste means different things to me, I expected that the peels would be used as well as the Brussel sprout ends and other normally wasted bits. But not a bad job all in all.
No thinking time was absolutely brutal.
You know it!
All of these dishes look absolutely vile. I can't remember the last time you made something that looked appealing. You're entertaining, but there's a reason I've never tried to make any of your dishes.

I think if you do the same concept again you should give the boys 5/10 minutes of planning before the 30 minutes of cooking

I feel like these videos aren't really a fair representation of how good sidekick is. If it was just Ben vs the other three without all the prep there is still a really good chance he just wins. A more interesting challenge is would they be able to beat Ben with the help of the app, since most of the people that would be using it aren't chefs.
