Older generations were built differently. She’s sticking her hand in the oven like it’s not scolding hot. They didn’t have all the tools we have today & we’re still able to make all of this delicious food in massive quantities.
Man that guy needs to shut up and let the old baba talk he's talking over her all the time let the lady explain the recipe process. Just like Baba said sometimes he just needs to shut up.
Damnit, lol ..can you please let her speak? She's got way more wisdom and experience than the 2 of us combined ... I LOVE listening to elders ♡ My parents are from former Yugoslavia, now Slovenia by the way. So I wanted to make this for them today ( ya got to get the old school recipe from someone who knows, or else it doesn't count ) :P ♡ Baba
I love this! Thank you so much for making this video. A neighbor recently introduced me to Ajvar, and I almost ate the whole jar it was so good! I can't wait to make it myself - and now thanks to you, I know I can do it! Thank you!!
I just ran across your videos and am so happy!! My Nanny was from Croatia. I grew up cooking with her. When she passed my cousin stole all her old cook books. Now I can get all those recipes back, carry them on with my kids!! Do you have a recipe for a sweet saffron bead with a sweet walnut filling or a cheese filling rolled up? Nanny always made it for Easter.
OMG!! I love Chef Baba and Damir. One day years ago i happenned to find you on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing the traditional Serbo-Croatian recipes and keeping the traditional food experience alive. I'm 64, Croatian born, living in Australia since i was 8. My mum is 87, a great authentic European cook... just like Chef Baba....never throw food away ... Haha I love food... i love entertaining... when ever i feel like a big Croatian cook fest i call my mum for reminder tips and go to TH-cam... check Chef Babas recipes. LOVE LOVE . Just made stuffed paprika... watched Ajvar... but thats a challenge... for another time. Thank you again... i enjoy every episode...

Hi! :) Love Roasted Red Peppers! We are Italian and we love Red Peppers and Eggplant.I will make this! Thank you ! I love your videos it reminds me of my childhood bc I had European Grandparents and this is very meaninful and nostalgic to me not just the food but the love and traditions behind it. :)
Thank you so much for your kind words. Damir was in Rome last year and he loved it. Thank you for watching. More episodes coming soon. Season 5 has started. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
Mi na jugu Srbije to na kube ispečemo napolje na drva pa bude i druženje sa komšijama i eto ajvara posle dva dana 😍😍😍 Pozdrav iz Leskovca prijatelji dragi 🍀🍀🍀
I just started watching Chef Baba's videos not too long ago and I'm hooked! I'm trying the ajvar recipe this weekend. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us...what a treat! :)
Ajvar is a Serbian salad. It was created in Belgrade in the 19th century and was first made in taverns. Only after the Second World War start to be made en masse in households as well. The name comes from the Turkish word caviar and was served in taverns as vegetable caviar.
Sarika Kovac When you put the pepper in the oven, (I put 8-10 peppers) on a baking sheet on folio paper - you put it on 375 degrees -and when you see the side a little burned, you turn it over to bake. And you repeat the process until all four sides have been baked. So, the baking process depends on the oven but for my oven, it takes about 30 minutes. More than the amount of time, it is important to watch how each sides is baked. Thank you for watching. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
Dobar dan! Oh Chef Baba I just love you! Yes when they blister theyre done! When Damir asked you here how long it takes, your response just had me cackling!!
Baba I just wanna say that this is how we made Ajvar in Jugoslavia, so, is this the way Makedonia and Bulgaria make it?, I just want to make sure we are preserving the traditional way of doing things...
Svaka cast bako da mi mozes doci u texas samo na sedmicu Dana da mi pokazes neke stvari hehe svaka cast svoju Baku sam izgubila prije 10 godina a da sam slusala kad je bila ziva puno bi vise znala Cuvaj Baku buddy she is amazing much love from Texas
Well I grill them in a pan, then puree in my food processor before I slow cook it on high in my crock pot for 3 - 4 hours, but I'm glad to see her oven method gets the same results.
Obozavam ajvar i cesto ga pravim cak i u Njemackoj. Btw. zar is colled embers in english, not grillplace, or barbecue. I hope you are doing well, love your videos💖
I adore your videos, i am so happy i found you on youtube cause you remind me so much of my mother 😍, she is from Beograd and she used to make all your recipes 😋 , you brought saliva to my mouth🙈🙊😂😂😂, she has a book but it’s in cerilice and i can’t read it😰, so thank you for being here , love you so much❤️ God bless you & your family🙏🏻
You know what, the more I'm watching it, the more you're not talking over her voice lol. So I take that back in my previous comment. You just seem so excited LOL at first
Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! I just love you Chef Baba , when you were talking about electricity it reminded me of last summer when l bought a sort of electric racquet to kill flies so I thought I would test it by pressing the button and touching the mesh resulting in giving myself an electric shock . Did not tell my husband because he would have made fun of me , 😱😱😱😁😁 looked out of my kitchen window AND saw him do the same thing as he threw the thing on the garden path . Still makes me laugh . Thank you for your lovely recipes . 😈😈
Your story is so, so funny. I promise I will not tell your husband. It is good to know that I am not the only one allergic to electricity.Thank you for watching. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
I love watching chef baba, it's a bit like cooking with my macedonian majkica. But why didn't you bake it off in the oil? That will make it much tastier. It will take two additional hours at least, but it will be much better. No shortcuts for Ajvar, ;) that's why most jars are not tasty at all. :)
This what Baba do, in macedonia we call "pindzur" !! In macedonia we dont put garlic in ajvar, and like Pakovska said, we baked pepers in oil, at least about a 2 hours.
he's right about the price. the peppers and eggplant are expensive. i buy 2 for $5 big jars locally that has at least $10 worth of stuff. its nice to make your own if you grow your own.
Also Zar is not a firepit its Cinder, which is important for the cooking process for ajvar. You cover it with cinders to bake it. Also you know she is a real baba when she can handle boiling hot peppers like it's nothing. Babas and Bakas are the best.
Hi! Excellent video but the part where she said you must strain them, did you actually stain them after cooking or could you skip the whole straining part? Edit: So you mentioned totally skipping the overnight part. So I guess you didnt. But what did you mean by letting it settle in a warm oven? What does that do? Does it enhance the flavour? And how long is the fridge life? Thanks!!
me watching this while eating ajvar on bread with a piece of cheese on it. ajvar is so good on bread. also where is baba? no videos over a year? :( thats to bad tho
Want to know a trick with the garlic? Take the whole big clove, just break the cloves up but leave skins on, now, put in a metal bowl. Put another bowl on top and shake it up for about 20 seconds. Try it and let me know what happens...voila'!
Yeah, it really does remind me of my babcia as well, but in a very strange way since I don’t speak my babcias language fluently and therefore never have had any conversations with her in this way😅 This video kinda is like feeling like I’m in the middle of my polish family discussing something and finally understand what they are talking about🙈 Chef Baba is working as fast and sharp as my babcia as well!
If u just let her to show us how to do without machine on 17:30 I would be really thankful to u 😂 Hvala baba u help me to deal with serbian husband who is crazy about that Ajvar !
Chef Baba Cooking Show Mislim da je ovo video koji ste uradili sa najvise uzivanja,a ja ga sa jos vecim uzivanjem pogledala od prve do zadnje sekunde💋💋💋
Kevin Adams Thank you for watching. If you want, everything can go through the machine. You can also cut the eggplant into small pieces. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
You should stop giving Baba a hard time and not interfere with her methods and processes. There is real wisdom behind it all. She is the expert here and has been doing all this stuff while you were still in nappies. My point? Open your ears and close your mouth. Only use the mouth for intelligent questions. Ps.. she is right. It takes a long time to learn and perfect. Only when you become mature do you begin to understand the reasoning behind it all.
Older generations were built differently. She’s sticking her hand in the oven like it’s not scolding hot. They didn’t have all the tools we have today & we’re still able to make all of this delicious food in massive quantities.
I love that she doesn’t let him talk over her 🥰🥰🥰
First video I have watched and I love this lady. We always think our grandparents are frail but they are some of the toughest people around.
I miss you chef baba! Where are you??!!
Dorogaja babushka. Bud zdorova. Spasibo za recept. Ja ispolzuju ego. Ja lublu tebe
I love when she tell stories about her life
It has been a very long and interesting life. Thank you for watching. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
I'm impressed by Baba"s English well done.👍👍👍
Man that guy needs to shut up and let the old baba talk he's talking over her all the time let the lady explain the recipe process. Just like Baba said sometimes he just needs to shut up.
dietrevich Funny. 😂Thank you for your feedback. ❤️Chef Baba.
He is cute but she has a point! Sometimes you should zip it!
@5:44 !!
I like this guy talking!

I love Baba . Damir you are sooo extremely lucky to have her :)
Will it change the taste of I roast the garlic? Or should I only use fresh?
Thank you. Yes he is lucky to have me. Thank you for reminding him. 😃 Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
Either way is ok. It will not change unless you put too much in it. Love, Chef Baba.
I just ran across your videos and am so happy!! My Nanny was from Croatia. I grew up cooking with her. When she passed my cousin stole all her old cook books.

Val Cal You are welcome. Damir loves Ajvar. Enjoy. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
Loved it! I was eating ajvar while watching and it gave me an appreciation :)
I agree with you - it's a great fast food and yummy.

Aww love her ❤

Aww, she's precious!🥰
"Baba, how long do we cook the peppers?" "Weeeellll, you gonna see!" I died :P

Mary Joukhador Thank you for your kind words. ❤️ Chef Baba.
nice video ! Baba reminds me of my grandmother. My grandmother made the best meatballs!!! I wish I knew the recipe?
Baba I just wanna say that this is how we made Ajvar in Jugoslavia, so, is this the way Makedonia and Bulgaria make it?, I just want to make sure we are preserving the traditional way of doing things...
Baba is adorable! I really enjoyed watching her make this recipe.

It bothers me that he keeps overruling her. If he wants all the attention, let him make his solo movie.
Well I grill them in a pan, then puree in my food processor before I slow cook it on high in my crock pot for 3 - 4 hours, but I'm glad to see her oven method gets the same results.

Thanks!!
Kev Thank you for your kind compliment. Yes, you should strain them. ❤️ Chef Baba.
Kev Yes, to enhance the flavor and stabilize it. It can stay in the fridge for a couple of months.
thank you for your reply! correct me if im wrong: so you cook them first and strain them after? :)
Kev Yes. That would be correct. ❤️ Chef Baba.
That's right you need to listen to her sometimes you just need to zip your mouth...lol
Does chef Baba make Lutanica?
Omg shes so cute
She sounds like my mother lol

Nikola Todorvski Thank you. I’m from Stemska Mitrovica. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
Is baba grandmother or mother?
The egg plant doesn't go in the machine??
Kevin Adams Thank you for watching. If you want, everything can go through the machine. You can also cut the eggplant into small pieces. Love, Chef Baba. ❤️
😘🫠
You guys leave a lot of seeds in - is that ok?
Eastern block countries don't make ajvar. Ajvar is a Turkish dish, so it's made only in countries which were under Ottoman empire rule.
You should stop giving Baba a hard time and not interfere with her methods and processes. There is real wisdom behind it all. She is the expert here and has been doing all this stuff while you were still in nappies. My point? Open your ears and close your mouth. Only use the mouth for intelligent questions. Ps.. she is right. It takes a long time to learn and perfect. Only when you become mature do you begin to understand the reasoning behind it all.
