I’d be very interested to see an episode on pumpkins in the fall. It’s an ingredient that is often forgotten about but yet easily available around Halloween. I’ve personally never used it for anything other than pumpkin pie and seeds, but I’d be interested to discover what else you could make with it.
YES my family personally makes savory pumpkin dishes so that would be cool (we do a pumpkin soup with smashed dry shrimp and perilla leaves viet style) 10/10
My faw is a creamy soup out of pumpkin with heavily seosoned fried mushroom and onion topic Other one is milkrice??? You take round corn rice and cook it with milk, make pumpkin cubes and add raisins and cook it in the oven. Pairs really well with „Christmas“ spices
I always love watching Andrew cook because even if he isn't the "best" cook, he sees food as art and thinks about all the components just like an artist would.
it also makes what he does a lot more relatable and approachable! he isn’t “classically trained” with decades of experience under his belt, he just has a passion for it and is exploring that as opposed to just demonstrating. i really feel like i can do what he’s doing while i’m watching.
That "this dish was sitting in my house, not getting made, all this time" bit really hit me... Like, there's a world of possibilities within our grasp, which only needs our effort to be materialized... Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but when Andrew speaks all poet-like about food, these kinds of thoughts begin to form :P
For real though. I was blown away the first time I made spaghetti aglio olio. I thought to myself "it's just spaghetti in a olive oil, garlic and parsley sauce. How good can it be?" It was SO GOOD! It's amazing what you can do with so few simple ingredients. At that point I realized that there are so many fantastic dishes that I haven't made not bc I don't have the ingredients for them, but bc I didn't think of using the ingredients I do have in a different way than I usually do, and since then I've been making some of the best dishes of my life! I recently made a variation of Vichyssoise with a simple vegetable stock I've made- just chuck whatever root vegetables you have (carrots, parsnips, celery, leek, etc.) into a pot with water, some pepper corns, coriander seeds, allspice, bay leaf and parsley and boil it for a couple hours- and it was the best soup I've ever made, and it only had 8 ingredients total if you count all the vegetables I used for the stock separately...
I know right? It's kinda beautiful when you think about it. Sometimes he says something so profoundly wise yet so simple and that's why I love him as a host.
It depends on the dish for me. If it contains just chunks of tomato, I just can’t eat it, it makes me almost regurgitate. But in a sauce where it’s not noticeable, like in marinara. Yeah, I’m fine with that
"Thakkali curry" is a part of my childhood memories from Kerala, India :) My mom makes killer Thakkali curry! Pro tip => Add a dash of sweet tamarind extract and a bit of jaggery/ palm sugar to take the dish up a few notches. Plus, save the curry leaves and don't add them while stewing the tomatoes, but stir them into the spluttered spices/ fried onions later. My mom also adds some ginger/ garlic to the while frying the mixture.
summer farmers market or home grown tomatoes are a completely different vegetable. it’s as different as cheese cake filling and soft tofu... they look the same but taste completely different.
he is the guy in the math word problems... Andrew has 20 pounds of tomatoes. He used 8 tomatoes for a caramelized tomato tarte tatin. How many tomatoes does he have left to use for other recipes? Use 1 pound = 4 tomatoes
*QUESTION* IfAdam cooked 20 pound of tomatoes and each pound took one hour, how much hours would it took to cook all of the tomatoes *EXTENSION* Each tomato costs 2 dollars and weighs 0.5 pounds. How much money would it take for him to buy 20 tomatoes.
I tried making Pasta al Pomodoro 2.0 at home today. It was absolutely delicious! So rich and creamy and healthy. I'm from India and my mom has been advised by her doctor to not eat any kind of spice because of a medical condition. It's so nice to find a recipe so flavourful without the need for spice. Thank you Andrew!
Funny how this series started by Andrew having to buy a special potato for a single recipe; but that potato can only bought in bulk so now he have this pounds of potato laying around.
I love how on Worth It andrew is like "OMG this has SALT on it, Best thing ever created wowiwowoww" and on this channel he talks like "hm, the flaky outside really compliments the contrast in the juicy filling. The light sweetness paired with this buttery flavor highlights the colors and reminisce of summer. Hot Pockets are truly a genius invention in the dense culinary landscape"
For the Gazpacho, one thing we usually do in Andalusian households is to add a slice of stale bread, soaked in water, so that it thickens it a little bit. This was a very popular post-war thickening agent! Gazpacho also benefits inmensely from the addition of garlic, for that amount you made, 2-3 cloves would be ideal
I’ve been trying to grow tomato varieties from when I lived in Spain. Haven’t had luck getting seeds yet…. But I keep hoping and keeping the dream alive. Looking to do the pan con tomate
Tomato and egg is the ultimate comfort dish for many Chinese families! Especially those who are from northern China! It's one of those dishes that is super simple yet difficult to nail!
Also you can vary the amount of sugar in this dish and get different sweet/savory balance. Different people have different preferences from 0 to maybe 70% sweetness.
Hey I just gotta say your videos are seriously high quality. When it comes to cooking channels on TH-cam I find sometimes creators will fall into this trap of being too “clinical” in a sense- they cut out the romance of cooking to make a more punctual video. This has its purpose, of course, but damn you talk about food that makes me really excited to cook. It’s very inspiring and relaxing how you take your time with your videos! Thank you!!
@@FlagCutie Oh yes. Many schools have them, they’re so bitter and gritty. My favorite apples are Granny Smiths and Pink Ladies, they’re both nice and tart.
@@mollyscozykitchen4693 I LOVE grannys for baking! I live in apple country in Washington state, so I'm spoiled in the amount and variety of apples I get. My mom has this scrumptious recipe for an apple salad that is a staple at our fall gatherings, well back when it was safe.
@@FlagCutie Oh wow! That’s awesome! I live in California, so we tend to get pretty great fruit. Yeah, Granny Smiths are my go-to for pies, tarts, scones, &c. Apple salad sounds incredible!
I'd love to see you do this with carrots. Especially to make that carrot steak. I've been really wanting to try to make it and would love to see another person make it and find out better tips.
Oh! There's this Japanese/Italian fusion place not far from me that has this amazing garlic carrot spread on their garlic bread! I'll edit my comment if I remember their name later Edit: They're called Mama Says :)
"there's a certain emotion that takes place when you eat something really good and your mad at how good it is" Didn't know other people felt like this too
I was honestly surprised when I saw u mention thakkali curry because no one even knows that there is a whole variety of dishes which are different from the typical butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. As a Malayali, I can say that u nailed it and it would taste absolutely incredible with rice. Another tomato dish I can recommend is ‘rasam’ which is also eaten with rice.
I'm malyali Malaysian. My mom always makes thakkali curry, sotthi. Only when I made those dishes for my friends I found out that not many people have ever heard of these dishes. It's such a shame. It's so good.
North indian and south indian food are soo different in their flavor profiles and the cooking techniques........ Like the use of coconut (oil, milk and paste) is more in South indian dishes and that too more in Kerala dishes
I knew there were differences, but I haven't done enough research to know which dish is from where. Doesn't help that I only get to make it on special occasions.
hi andrew. when you heat oil with the aromatics in to add over the top of food, that's called "tempering" - thought you might want to know :) it's a really important technique in indian cooking
It's also contrary to most Western techniques (and thus intuition), because it kinda leaves the oil on top, rather than have it incorporated in the "sauce" in most Western dishes. So it can easily seem like you did something wrong, if you don't keep this in mind while cooking Indian stuff.
I'd repeat my comment from Worth it video on carrots, I'd really love Andrew to try out Gajar halwa , an Indian dessert , which is so decadent it tastes as luxurious as the carrot steak. This video was amazing as expected 💖
Dude, thank you so much for so many awesome vegetarian and vegan dishes! I recently became a pescatarian (will be cutting out fish later) and I’m so excited to try these cool recipes!
I'm a mallu and the second i heard "thakkalli curry", I screamed cuz it's such a popular curry in south India (specifically Kerala). It's truly amazing to see others incorporate dishes that aren't known internationally but very dear to a specific culture.
Tarka (frying the spices and then adding them to the curry) was the biggest mystifier of my childhood. I never understood why my mom did it until I made a curry that needed it without it. It’s a real game changer
@@NWiluvya yeah it deffo needs the garlic and a fair amount of vinegar for that pungency and acidity to play off the sweetness of the tomatoes - great hangover cure i'll tell ya that
They should compile all their recipes and the ones they referred to and make a cookbook. I'd buy it and actually try to cook with the measurements and everything ;-;
That would be so cool, but I don't think they can because the recipes aren't theirs. They can't really use someone else's recipe in a published book they make money from :/ I honestly just copy/paste into Microsoft Word and then print it out and put it in a binder with plastic protectors like my own cookbook XD
I wonder how many dishes Andrew can make using fava beans? The only dish that comes to mind for me is Egyptian ful. It's really time consuming when done traditionally but it's soooo worth it.
I think if you Stick to things that are seasonal in this series it also can be help to cook more seasonal since you will learn new ways to cook whatever’s in season.
I could listen to Andrew talk about food all day! 😅 He has such an eloquent yet accessible way of describing dishes, and it never feels condescending or boring like a lot of cooking channels on TH-cam can be. Just a man who loves food, trying to figure out how it works 😌
Thanks, Andrew! I made the last dish with a bunch of Sungold cherry tomatoes I grew, it’s was surprisingly creamy for just 4 non-dairy ingredients. I’ll be keeping this in my rotation.
Alright, from this video I made the tomato peach salad (super good, surprisingly for me), the pasta pomadoro (which was as fun to make as it was delicious, seriously so velvety), and the tomato egg stir fry. Now- I didn't have the rice wine, and so I tried to substitute rice vinegar, if anyone is reading this and also doesn't have it, do NOT sub in vinegar 😅😅 I didn't add that much but you could definitely tell something was a little off. I'll have to pick up some proper xiaoxing wine and try again
I am from Kerala and my grandma makes the thakkali curry here all the time and we have it with rice. Very surprised to see you trying this dish. The method of pouring the aromatics last is called 'thalikkukka' in my area and it is very common in indian cuisine. Happy to know that you enjoyed it.
14:30 did anyone notice thakkali curry it means tomato curry thakkali is the Malayalam word for tomato 🍅 So happy to see this in such a international channel 🤩
@@clintonp5395 we can't say so cuz he is an American he did his best actually I think it will taste the same but the looks are only different that's all , if u think like we guys who r not an expert in cooking , if we make that curry our will look similar to that shown in this channel........
Andrew really does something to my anxiety. It’s like he just makes it disappear. He’s so chill and it’s infectious. Oh and these recipes look delicious, tomatoes are my fave. 🍅
Next video: Andrew cooks with 20 pounds of Beets. Andrew did mention beets as one of his favourite top 3 Vegetables in an episode of Worth it Also Dwight Schrute would be really proud of him :)
Seeing that egg and tomato dish reminds me when my grandma makes that but we eat it with fry bake lol (we're Trinidadian btw) its crazy how different countries can have such similar dishes!
Would love to see you do something like “I have 5 dozen eggs” around Easter. Bonus points if you can include dishes could be used with dyed eggs, or where blown eggs (leaving the shell whole) could be used.
andrew being star struck over the "tarka" technique in the curry recipe while every brown/desi household does it every day with their pulses and rice dishes.
It really sounds delicious though.. I'm definitely gonna try to make that curry someday! Reminds me of our Malaysian curries because of the coconut milk :)
@@random_d00d You should definitely check out some more Indian dishes! I'd suggest you first try making "Chole Kulche" and "Pav Bhaji" easy and delicious! 😇🤍✨😋
For the caramel, I would recommend you to heat up the vinegar before adding it, so it doesn't create a temperature shock. Letting the caramel cool may harden it as well, so it's better if you just heat up your vinegar :)!
For the tomato egg, I recommend adding some chilli, sesame oil, fresh garlic and msg for a better depth of flavour into the tomato itself (oyster sauce as well if you’re not vegetarian). You can also use tinned tomatoes which will already be seasoned and have a much stronger flavour than fresh. Also, add the green onions as a garnish, adding them at beginning will make them soggy so traditionally they’re added at the end. For some green, adding steamed bok choi with some chilli flakes would be nice. Tomato egg is eaten in lots of Asian cultures and every person will have their own version but these tips should give you a more interesting meal for those looking to try. Finally, because it wasn’t clear in the video, never use extra virgin olive oil if you want to cook your eggs in the wok, the smoking point is too low. If you want to skip doing everything separately, you can actually just crack the egg into the tomato mixture when it’s bubbling, it will still cook okay.
"Mad at how good it is" is definitely something I've felt before; I think I was mad because it was something that I ate that forever changed my idea or standard of how good something should taste.
This series needs to never end. I would love for more obscure ingredients to be featured too. Sometimes you buy something for one dish and have a lot left over.
Wow! As a regular follower of the channel, really happy to see Andrew trying a traditional Kerala Thakkali Curry. As variations to the present recipe, you can add pieces of drumsticks or okra or even prawns along with tomatoes to make some amazing dishes. ❤️
I’ve recently started making my pasta sauce from garden tomatoes and holy smokes. It’s like a revelation. Not sure why I haven’t been doing this all along. Guess I’ll be having it again for dinner tomorrow night!
I can't believe Andrew made Thakkali curry . That's crazy 😂😂😂 it's my favorite dish to have with Dosa. I'm grateful to see ATE incorporate more Indian cuisines, and authentic ones at that !
ok it's going to be a biggest comment I ever leave on TH-cam😅 in my country day is almost over now and i was so happy to see that new video come out! and i prepare for myself a plate of fruit specially a peaches. and when I see this tomato and peach salad i go to my kitchen and grab tomato and eat it together. omg it is delicious an sooo good flavor combination!! Tanks for vid!👌
That tomatoes and eggs dish I know since childhood. Pretty much the same but without cooking wine and stuff. Just bake tomatoes for a bit, chuck in eggs, couple minutes later you are done. It's really good as breakfast on top of a couple pieces of toast.
With the gazpacho with whole cherry tomatoes, wonder if you could blanch them fast like peeling larger tomatoes or peaches to make it easier to peel.....
12:28 I made this two days ago for breakfast but instead of green onion i used chili peppers and garlic sauce for the eggs. I ate with toast instead of rice. 👌
I love to cook. I have watched a lot of videos from Chef John, Helen Rennie, Ragusea, Ethan, Alex (when he was French Guy…), Pro Home Cooks and made plenty of their dishes. I have enjoyed that. I am blown away by your approach of concentrating on a single ingredient. It appeals to me perfectly, and I am surprised at this. Even though you didn’t include precise recipes, borrowed them all, screwed up some along the way, I found neat tricks and pointers along the way. Looking forward to making all these in the coming weeks.
Andrew!! I didn’t think it was possible! I really thought you were exaggerating talking about the Pasta Pomodoro, but I just made it and it’s absolutely delicious! Some simple an elegant and yet so flavourful! I’m not buying canned pasta sauce ever again! Thank you so much, I will be making this for years to come.
I really love how calming and relaxing Andrew's cooking videos are @@ This is just so good. I really want to see a video about banana....Why banana ? I don't know either, for minions I guess so.
i cant wait for when winter comes around because doing one of these with a root vegetable would be perfect because they’re so slept on in my opinion, yeah summer vegetables are delicious but winter foods are wonderful as well
I know you normally choose a vegetable to do this kind of challenge, but I'm really interested what you would do with a large amount of rice, whether it's freshly steamed, or cooled down and what type of rice
How was your seasoning holding up when stir frying the tomatoes? It looks like a bit came of? Could you taste it in the dish? I am always very hesistent with sour ingredients so I'm interested if you ran into any problems. Thx
Thank you! Never have I ever heard someone else bring up the anger, fury even, that can come when you eat something uncomprehendingly delicious. Like, “THIS EXISTED AND I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW????” So, again- thank you!!!
andrew tasting the unseasoned gazpacho reminded me of a thing my dad likes: tomato and apple blended together into a smoothie. I don't care for raw tomatoes so I don't get it at all, but maybe someone else would be into it?
I make a Portuguese style tomato eggs inspired by my family friends recipe. She peels the tomatoes first and cooks them down with onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and then scrambles the eggs in the hot tomato mixture. So delicious!! I’ll need to try this version as well.
I’ve decided I’m very into this channel.

It’s amazing how Andrew has evolved from trying food to actually making it. And the skills he’s learned along the way. Super impressive
I have made the "Pasta al Pomodoro" two times now. I think I'm moving to Italy, it's that good!
As an Indian, I am beyond happy that you actually said thakkali instead of just Indian Tomato- love this series, love this channel, love all of it!
Me too, I was so shocked when he said thakkali! South Indian food gets very little recognition so this made me beyond happy
Dude, thank you so much for so many awesome vegetarian and vegan dishes! I recently became a pescatarian (will be cutting out fish later) and I’m so excited to try these cool recipes!
I'm a mallu and the second i heard "thakkalli curry", I screamed cuz it's such a popular curry in south India (specifically Kerala). It's truly amazing to see others incorporate dishes that aren't known internationally but very dear to a specific culture.
Same reaction ! 🙌
Same here..😍
R u a sri lankan?
Tarka (frying the spices and then adding them to the curry) was the biggest mystifier of my childhood. I never understood why my mom did it until I made a curry that needed it without it. It’s a real game changer
My man Andrew is so good at convincing me something tastes good, he makes raw, blended vegetables sound good
gazpacho is genuinely very good though in my experience there was always garlic in it
@@NWiluvya yeah it deffo needs the garlic and a fair amount of vinegar for that pungency and acidity to play off the sweetness of the tomatoes - great hangover cure i'll tell ya that
Watermelon gazpacho is pretty good too
Andrew needs to make an audio book where he just describes flavour combos!
They should compile all their recipes and the ones they referred to and make a cookbook.
I'd buy it and actually try to cook with the measurements and everything ;-;
that's genious
That would be so cool, but I don't think they can because the recipes aren't theirs. They can't really use someone else's recipe in a published book they make money from :/ I honestly just copy/paste into Microsoft Word and then print it out and put it in a binder with plastic protectors like my own cookbook XD
I wonder how many dishes Andrew can make using fava beans? The only dish that comes to mind for me is Egyptian ful. It's really time consuming when done traditionally but it's soooo worth it.
This would be a great collab with Middle Eats
Sara, be careful. If you're female, Andrew Ilnickyj thinks you're disgusting.
I think if you Stick to things that are seasonal in this series it also can be help to cook more seasonal since you will learn new ways to cook whatever’s in season.
Oh this made me cry! Tomatoes are my absolute favorite and I just found out I can no longer eat them.
Kidney failure?
I'd love to see Andrew cook 10 pounds of beet. Bc he once said in worth it that it's his top 3 favorite vegetable.
What type of tomato smells best?
*A Roma*
Andrew's vocabulary when describing food is immeasurable
I could listen to Andrew talk about food all day! 😅 He has such an eloquent yet accessible way of describing dishes, and it never feels condescending or boring like a lot of cooking channels on TH-cam can be. Just a man who loves food, trying to figure out how it works 😌
Thanks, Andrew! I made the last dish with a bunch of Sungold cherry tomatoes I grew, it’s was surprisingly creamy for just 4 non-dairy ingredients. I’ll be keeping this in my rotation.
Thakkali curry is like one of most commonly made lazy day curries here in Kerala. I'm surprised that I saw a local dish being made by Andrew 😄😄
We say thakkali tooo
In sri lanka
We say thakkali in Tamilnadu too❤
that is the same thought when I see tomato and egg stirfry y as a chinese! need to try making this curry next time.
Alright, from this video I made the tomato peach salad (super good, surprisingly for me), the pasta pomadoro (which was as fun to make as it was delicious, seriously so velvety), and the tomato egg stir fry. Now- I didn't have the rice wine, and so I tried to substitute rice vinegar, if anyone is reading this and also doesn't have it, do NOT sub in vinegar 😅😅 I didn't add that much but you could definitely tell something was a little off. I'll have to pick up some proper xiaoxing wine and try again
Andrew just helped me realize (with his rather frequent use of the word “reminiscent”) that food is just a memory of its initial ingredients
I am from Kerala and my grandma makes the thakkali curry here all the time and we have it with rice. Very surprised to see you trying this dish. The method of pouring the aromatics last is called 'thalikkukka' in my area and it is very common in indian cuisine. Happy to know that you enjoyed it.
It's like how in North india we say tadka
In my area we call it bagaar
14:30 did anyone notice thakkali curry it means tomato curry thakkali is the Malayalam word for tomato 🍅
So happy to see this in such a international channel 🤩
Thakkali is also used in Tamil Language. Ig it's common in both as Malayalam and Tamil r slightly similar languages
And in Tamil ☺️🍅
Yeah ,I didn't expect that . 🥰
But let's be honest. There are better versions of tomato curry than the version that was prepared..
@@clintonp5395 we can't say so cuz he is an American he did his best actually I think it will taste the same but the looks are only different that's all , if u think like we guys who r not an expert in cooking , if we make that curry our will look similar to that shown in this channel........
Andrew really does something to my anxiety. It’s like he just makes it disappear. He’s so chill and it’s infectious. Oh and these recipes look delicious, tomatoes are my fave. 🍅
Next video: Andrew cooks with 20 pounds of Beets.
Andrew did mention beets as one of his favourite top 3 Vegetables in an episode of Worth it
Also Dwight Schrute would be really proud of him :)
Bring back worth it, and make it the same hosts. That series was golden, travel channel quality.
I love how this series all started from Andrew trying to make some fries
It all started with potatos lol
Seeing that egg and tomato dish reminds me when my grandma makes that but we eat it with fry bake lol (we're Trinidadian btw) its crazy how different countries can have such similar dishes!
Would love to see you do something like “I have 5 dozen eggs” around Easter. Bonus points if you can include dishes could be used with dyed eggs, or where blown eggs (leaving the shell whole) could be used.
Tomatoes are definitely my favorite fruit. I know that sentence sounds somewhat cursed, but they're just so good and versatile.
andrew being star struck over the "tarka" technique in the curry recipe while every brown/desi household does it every day with their pulses and rice dishes.
I know right! 😂😂😂 It IS a game changer though! 😋✨
It really sounds delicious though.. I'm definitely gonna try to make that curry someday! Reminds me of our Malaysian curries because of the coconut milk :)
@@random_d00d You should definitely check out some more Indian dishes! I'd suggest you first try making "Chole Kulche" and "Pav Bhaji" easy and delicious! 😇🤍✨😋
I want Andrew to pull a prank where the next episode of "How I cook..." is being hosted by Sebastian Stan thus mildly confuses everyone :D
For the caramel, I would recommend you to heat up the vinegar before adding it, so it doesn't create a temperature shock. Letting the caramel cool may harden it as well, so it's better if you just heat up your vinegar :)!
For the tomato egg, I recommend adding some chilli, sesame oil, fresh garlic and msg for a better depth of flavour into the tomato itself (oyster sauce as well if you’re not vegetarian). You can also use tinned tomatoes which will already be seasoned and have a much stronger flavour than fresh. Also, add the green onions as a garnish, adding them at beginning will make them soggy so traditionally they’re added at the end. For some green, adding steamed bok choi with some chilli flakes would be nice. Tomato egg is eaten in lots of Asian cultures and every person will have their own version but these tips should give you a more interesting meal for those looking to try. Finally, because it wasn’t clear in the video, never use extra virgin olive oil if you want to cook your eggs in the wok, the smoking point is too low. If you want to skip doing everything separately, you can actually just crack the egg into the tomato mixture when it’s bubbling, it will still cook okay.
"Mad at how good it is" is definitely something I've felt before; I think I was mad because it was something that I ate that forever changed my idea or standard of how good something should taste.
As a native of Kerala who has eaten Thakkali curry all her life and love watching Andrew's videos, watching him make it was really special
This has quickly become one of my favorite internet series. Really enjoyed this episode!
This series needs to never end. I would love for more obscure ingredients to be featured too. Sometimes you buy something for one dish and have a lot left over.
Wow! As a regular follower of the channel, really happy to see Andrew trying a traditional Kerala Thakkali Curry. As variations to the present recipe, you can add pieces of drumsticks or okra or even prawns along with tomatoes to make some amazing dishes. ❤️
Can someone tell this poor man that he can buy vegetables in smaller quantities..
I love how he credits all the recipes and even the comments that inspired him!
I love how all of these are super easy and don't call for super difficult to source ingredients but rather focus on the quality. 👌
I love how many vegan friendly dishes this channel does without advertising iy
I’ve recently started making my pasta sauce from garden tomatoes and holy smokes. It’s like a revelation. Not sure why I haven’t been doing this all along. Guess I’ll be having it again for dinner tomorrow night!
Maths problem 101 : There is man named Andrew having 4 to 5 trucks of Tomatoes.
Andrew : and I took that statement seriously.
I can't believe Andrew made Thakkali curry . That's crazy 😂😂😂 it's my favorite dish to have with Dosa. I'm grateful to see ATE incorporate more Indian cuisines, and authentic ones at that !
ok it's going to be a biggest comment I ever leave on TH-cam😅
in my country day is almost over now and i was so happy to see that new video come out! and i prepare for myself a plate of fruit specially a peaches. and when I see this tomato and peach salad i go to my kitchen and grab tomato and eat it together. omg it is delicious an sooo good flavor combination!!
Tanks for vid!👌
That tomatoes and eggs dish I know since childhood. Pretty much the same but without cooking wine and stuff. Just bake tomatoes for a bit, chuck in eggs, couple minutes later you are done. It's really good as breakfast on top of a couple pieces of toast.
everything about this channel is just so so comforting. much love to the entire team of about to eat 💗
With the gazpacho with whole cherry tomatoes, wonder if you could blanch them fast like peeling larger tomatoes or peaches to make it easier to peel.....
Yes, you can, you just make 2 slits in a cross at the top of the cherry tomatoes and boil then blanch them and they almost just pop out of the peel
We want to see the magic of Andrew + Steven in some new show format. That chemistry is unparalleled 🙏
12:28 I made this two days ago for breakfast but instead of green onion i used chili peppers and garlic sauce for the eggs. I ate with toast instead of rice. 👌
My wish has been granted!!!
Edit: Also, OMG!!! Andrew read my comment, and that made it into the video. I can't even..
Hey you are lucky!!! Andrew shout out you on his video :-) :-)
@@evee4456 This video has literally made my day
@@Abhi-wl5ytMasha-allah!!
Omg it’s the guy from the video 😂
I love to cook. I have watched a lot of videos from Chef John, Helen Rennie, Ragusea, Ethan, Alex (when he was French Guy…), Pro Home Cooks and made plenty of their dishes. I have enjoyed that. I am blown away by your approach of concentrating on a single ingredient. It appeals to me perfectly, and I am surprised at this. Even though you didn’t include precise recipes, borrowed them all, screwed up some along the way, I found neat tricks and pointers along the way. Looking forward to making all these in the coming weeks.
andrew character development, going way back from his first appearance of "worth it", is absolutely WORTH IT
@@feitme tf no
Andrew!! I didn’t think it was possible! I really thought you were exaggerating talking about the Pasta Pomodoro, but I just made it and it’s absolutely delicious! Some simple an elegant and yet so flavourful! I’m not buying canned pasta sauce ever again! Thank you so much, I will be making this for years to come.
I saw the thumbnail and I was like… wait Andrew looks different- his moustache is gone 😳
I really love how calming and relaxing Andrew's cooking videos are @@ This is just so good. I really want to see a video about banana....Why banana ? I don't know either, for minions I guess so.
Its really a testament to how much i love andrew that i watched this whole thing, i hate tomato loll
LOVE! The incorporation of vegan friendly dishes. Thank you!
i cant wait for when winter comes around because doing one of these with a root vegetable would be perfect because they’re so slept on in my opinion, yeah summer vegetables are delicious but winter foods are wonderful as well
I know you normally choose a vegetable to do this kind of challenge, but I'm really interested what you would do with a large amount of rice, whether it's freshly steamed, or cooled down and what type of rice
How was your seasoning holding up when stir frying the tomatoes? It looks like a bit came of? Could you taste it in the dish? I am always very hesistent with sour ingredients so I'm interested if you ran into any problems.
Thx
Thank you! Never have I ever heard someone else bring up the anger, fury even, that can come when you eat something uncomprehendingly delicious.
Like, “THIS EXISTED AND I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW????”
So, again- thank you!!!
That Tarte Tatin recipe was really unexpected. I 100% expected it to be done in 1 pan like an Apple Tarte Tain.
andrew tasting the unseasoned gazpacho reminded me of a thing my dad likes: tomato and apple blended together into a smoothie. I don't care for raw tomatoes so I don't get it at all, but maybe someone else would be into it?
I am in awe of Andrew explaining his dishes so passionately

So happy to see naadan Thakkali Curry!!
I make a Portuguese style tomato eggs inspired by my family friends recipe. She peels the tomatoes first and cooks them down with onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and then scrambles the eggs in the hot tomato mixture. So delicious!! I’ll need to try this version as well.
