This woman is the MacGyver of cooking. I stand in a grocery store full of food scratching my head every week, while this woman takes air, a plate of ice, and a half eaten pat of butter from a restaurant and comes up with a six course banquet.
the one in the glass that looks like a small vase with plants is definately my favourite, such a delicate and different way to present a dessert!! i also really liked the individual tarts, they looked really tasty as well
I am a total believer that the way something looks makes I taste better... but! I also think that your family preferring the fancy playing may also have to do with the textural changes you’ve made in each plating. Making elements of the dish crispier or chewier or fluffier, as you did, adds more diversity to the experience, making it more enjoyable. My hypothesis is your family would like the fancy platings more even in a blind taste test.
Have to agree with the texture thing. Although, I’d like to do a taste test on a fancy version and regular frozen version of something to see if it does actually “taste” better. Personally, I hate cheesecake, so I wouldn’t be eating anything in the video (except the fresh strawberries).
Idk about that, I've seen a lot of people judging and insult fine dining even Ann's version of reworking of a cheap food, because from a bad experience or hearsay :/ Fine dining is an artform and is underappriciated
I went to a nice restaurant and they had lava cake and it was the same exact “Safeway select” brand one can find at Albertsons/Vons here in the states. They had the audacity to charge like $10 for it and I know it’s a 2 pack for like $4 at the grocery. I knew it was the frozen one because it was still frozen in the middle. It’s nice to do this fancy plate for yourself or friends or family, but not at a restaurant trying to pass it off as something gourmet.
are you sure it was a Safeway cake? There are companies who make frozen desert for restaurants as most restaurants including the upper mid range dont have pastry chefs. They are handmade desert just made in mass for restaurants to use. Also remember when you go to a restaurant...you aren't paying for just the ingredients...you are paying for the cooks time, the dishwashers time the maintenance of the building the waiter etc. A lot of restaurants have lower profit margins then people think.
@@m.d6035 i know "hand made" bakeries often use premade muffin / cookie / cake mixes. Helps them to guarantee the stable and predictable quality. I don't mind as long as there is extra work done with the filling or icing, like this video, but sometimes it's just plain biscuit dough and the most boring white cream layers...
@@jonathandpg6115 you should also specifically mention the cost of styling and maintaing the style of the venue. The atmosphere is part of the dining experience. Eating at a restaurant or cafe (or even a nice looking fast food joint) can be like a mini vacation from the rest of your life, or even like travelling home briefly for a bit if you are homesick and find some venue that is themed after elements that are nostalgic to you. A good interior decoration and styling is genuinely worth paying more money for.
You obviously haven't been to a fine dining restaurant. Yes, you pay for the execution but you also pay for premium quality ingredients, not whatever crap is used in these frozen cheesecakes.
@@B_27 "You've obviously never paid ridiculous prices for food that can be made at home with less expensive ingredients and taste just as good because most fine dining is about the atmosphere." Is it frozen cheesecakes? Naw, but if you're not in a place where everyone is wearing a suit and there's a small orchestra, rest assured the ingredients were not flown in totally fresh that morning from whatever remote location contains them. They're frozen, shipped like anything else, and you're mostly paying for a chef that could take two slices of bread and some cheese and make something that blows you down while you'd be lucky to whip up a grilled cheese.
Nekufan1000000 it sounds like you’ve had some bad dinning experiences. I can assure you there are plenty of chef’s that pride themselves in serving fresh and local ingredients. I guess we see value in different things. Enjoy your grilled cheese 😆

I know this video is ages old but I’ve just discovered Ann’s videos and I am obsessed!!! I’ve been binging them these past few days. I just wanted to say I love all these platings but my favorite is the cloud garden!!! It’s stunning.
You know, whenever i watch your channel Ann, it always reminds me of the good ol days of youtube where people created content because it was what they WANTED to do and they did it more of as a hobby rather than a job. This is why I absolutely love your channel because it brims with your passion and love which is making beautiful desserts and sweets. Its always a nice reminder that there are still REAL content creators amongst the youtube that is dominated by cheap, low effort videos. Thank you Ann for your hard work and keep it up, you are one of the few gems thats still exist on this platform.
I'm a 1000% positive, that if anyone who wants to do this will buy the frozen cheesecakes but instead of doing all this end up eating the cheesecake just like that.
So true. Even I don't feel like putting in do much time to just decorate the food. It's should be served decently yes but if u take hours just to make it look good that's too much! It's food just respect it and eat it. It's getting staler every minute so why delay eating it so much. The fresher the better the tastier. 10 15 mins is fine not more than that
People who mislead with the picture: haha this idiot fell for our scam Also them: *watches Ann’s video and sees she made them better* Them again: *suprised pikachu face*
I've returned to this video so many times. Genius idea and flawless execution. I would love more videos like this, where we learn to replate/reassemble cheap store bought foods in a cool improved way
The channel Internet Shaquille has lots of videos with these sorts of recipes/methods. Here’s his recent video on making a “lazy croquembouche” as a good example: th-cam.com/video/k3YS7g8RV_E/w-d-xo.html
I WAS AT A PARTY, SAW THIS NOTIFICATION, AND IMMEDIATELY PRESSED IT And then got sad because I was an hour late STILL WORTH IT MY FAITH IN FRIDAY IS RESTORED
I have a video idea: I think that in the debunking series, you should have an episode where you fix the hack to make it better. I would live to see you try to make the hacks actually work ❤️
I started watching the first plating and thought, “Hell, making it from scratch is easier than this.” Then I watched the rest of the video and thought, “These are fantastic.” I do think I liked the first one the best. Your execution is a beautiful marriage of the science and art of cooking.
Me: Wakes up to see the gray-yellowish light coming into my room, looking at the red sun shining though the clouds or smoke I'm not sure anymore remembering that that I live in the California valley, that there is another wild fire going on, and evacuations might start or are already started in my county, notices that Ann posted a video day: becomes a little bit better
This is a fantastic concept! Years and years ago ( on SBS I think) there was a comedy show, a parody of all those lifestyle/gardening/cooking programs. One of the segments was how to turn a KFC meal into a gastronomic feast ( a turret of coleslaw topped with refried chicken skin, a quenelle of mashed potato + deboned chicken piece with dipping sauce spheres). I'd love to see what you could REALLY do to cheese cake if you included molecular gastronomy techniques + a few extra ingredients ,😉

I've probably watched this over a dozen times i just love this kind of video of how creative you can get with simple things think outside the pre-made box
Nilered voice: Now, I could do this the normal way, but I decided to do something a little bit more fun. *pulls out a full sized flamethrower to caramelize cremebrule*
Experiments do seems to indicate that presentation affects perception of taste. However, I've eaten masterfully plated, high-priced food that was massively disappointing. And simple, even messy food that was a gastronomic delight. So, in my experience anyway, presentation affecting perception is subjective in itself. Regardless, I like your plating ideas and will use them for home-made treats for the best of both worlds.
It affects it but isn't the whe thing. We eat with our eyes first but we have to follow up with it after. Also what people don't always realize is that some of the "rules" on how to plate food come from....the texture which does affect taste.
Ann’s voice is so soothing, it nearly makes me fall asleep! But I wanna watch more! But I need sleep, since I have school, just one more video.. I’ll fall asleep I know it.
I think the price of these "cheap" desserts takes convenience into account. Once you're putting this much work into it, it's probably cheaper to do from scratch.
Not really. Say if someone got something like this from a food bank for example, I think they would love a way to pretty it up very cheaply. Although, I agree accounting for the work alone you might as well just make it yourself.
Yes but you also have to take into account what your time is worth, like if you have a low income but lots of time then this is perfect but if you’re working more then the convenience is more important! Btw this is also why homemade food/stuff is seen both as a sign of wealth and poverty
Yeah, but cheesecake is almost the easiest conventional dessert to make - imho easier than pound cake. Who orders strawberry cheesecake at a gourmet restaurant?
@@Shindashi you would be surprised but in my country only expensive gourmet restaurants serve cheesecake... Its a (very expensive) luxury here because cheese costs a lot
Most of these would be a easier to do from scratch if you know what you're doing though. Why would you want to spend the time separating graham cracker from cheesecake if you could just make your own cheesecake base and crush your own graham crackers (or use pre-made crumbs)?

@@Shindashi you would be surprised but in my country only expensive gourmet restaurants serve cheesecake... Its a (very expensive) luxury here because cheese costs a lot
Most of these would be a easier to do from scratch if you know what you're doing though. Why would you want to spend the time separating graham cracker from cheesecake if you could just make your own cheesecake base and crush your own graham crackers (or use pre-made crumbs)?
Unlikely. It will certainly take less time and taste better with fresh ingredients
I think that you are One of the more original and interesting cooking channel on TH-cam!
I'm not a Baker but ur videos always motivate me to bake or be productive and especially during covid 19 I haven't been able to do much but watching ur videos I've baked small cakes ,cake pops,cookies,pizza,ice cream,meringues and more 💖❤💖thank u
the third one looks like it comes out of masterchef australia this year, especially the icecream scoop on top of the cake
Hong Anh Pham masterChef Ann Reardon edition
I think this is the only channel that attracts no negativity literally. Btw, really live your videos. Especially the debunking ones.. Newest subscriber. Love the way you explain everything and the logic fail and apparent dangers behind every "life hack" and try out some of the "hacks" too. Love your channel
Please do another one!! This video was so relaxing and creative.
I love how you've decorated the first one! Now I really want to try to re-create it and give it to my friends
XD
You could make it from scratch faster than deconstructing and reconstructing it
This is one of my comfort videos
I absolutely love this! This is about my 5th time watching this haha..l but- I’d love a part two! This was such a good video and I think it’d be super fun to watch a part two, keep doing what you’re doing Ann! ^_^
Ann: "And 1 cube of a strawberry."
me: Okay boss! 1 million strawberries it is!!
I love all your videos because of your videos I am going to be a chef when I grow up :)
I LOVE the first one!
Ann Reardon could simply make a delightful cheesecake but decides to show us hacks instead, YOU GO ANN REARDON!
The one with the clouds is so beautiful!!
The first is my fav. Whimsical!
What! $3 ... you tricked me Mum 😁😁😁
The regular slice wasn’t made with love. That’s the missing ingredient.
Correct-
Anonymous Well not really
*love
the little individual tarts are definitely the ones im most likely to do at home, but i am so in love with the little glasses, they're so fun and whimsical they just make me so happy
I guess some people were just born with a different kind of brain 🤷🏼♀️ amazing as always, thank you!
Nobody:
How to cook that: *KNOW YOUR GONNA GET YOUR TINY CUBED STRAWBERRY*
Ann: “Which plating did you like the best?”
Me: “yes”
I wish Ann was my mom so i could eat dessert almost everyday.
she would still give u healthy things
@@Nora-sp3oy yeah we know :) she's a great mom
I just eat everything off the floor. I find that adds a certain bold taste, a Je ne sais pas, if you will.
« Je ne sais pas. » 😂 Perfect touch.
This gives off immaculate chaotic energy
Your accent, cooking, baking
IS LIFE
The whole "deconstructed" trend is the WORST thing to happen to restaurants in decades.
It certainly ruins good food. But people go to restaurants for eye-candy, not taste. Reason why I learnt to cook and eat very well at home.
Compared to corona it's pure gold.
You basically pay for the looks, not the taste
At home they're called casseroles 🤣
I think it looks so odd, personally. Not a big fan.
me: going to bed
ann: post
me: MOM CAN I SATY UP FOR 9 MINUTES PLEASE MY FAVORITE TH-camR HAS POST
The first one blew my mind away
I feel so bamboozled. I kept reading that she's replanting the desserts...
😂 a cheesecake plant would be pretty cool
I just read your comment to realise I’ve read it wrong also 😂
It... Doesn't say that? Wtf
Same here. I thought it was just my dyslexia.
I thought it was just me
I clicked so fast my fingers cramped😂
Ps. ann if you still do shoutouts could you give me one?
I come back to watch this video all the time, I hope there's more like this one someday! Your informative debunking and experiment videos are some of my favorites, but putting your own spin on cheap storebought stuff is so fun and creative. We did this for fun on a friends night once!
Woolies: makes a tiny cheesecake for $3
Ann: I'm about to end this man's whole career
*Watches TH-cam for 3 hours*
Me: ok I'm tired I'll put my phone down
Ann: *posts new video*
Me: well just 9 more minutes then
(I love you Ann❤️)
The little garden with the fluffly clouds was the absolute cutest!
I like how even if this just been uploaded there's so many people watching and commenting already
The little tarts look the most delicious to me 🥰 I'm a fan of the $3 Coles/Woolies cheesecakes but I may have to try these varieties!
