So I've had few of people who tell me they are unsubscribing from this TH-cam channel. This is a typical comment: "Thought you were Muslim you just lost one subscriber if you are really Muslim you wouldn't use wine at all as the prophet (pbuh) said in this Hadith plus many more b. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3392 Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah". Let me tell you that the Titli Book of Peeves, Volume 10 , Chapter 6, No. 4127 says that "people who subscribe to my channel simply because I'm muslim is as bad as anyone who subscribes simply because I'm not black, or American, or whatever." Chapter 7 of the same volume, No 5361 says "nothing is more annoying than someone who quotes religious text without really understanding its deeper meaning and context." "People who unsubscribe from my channel" does not feature in any of the 20 Volumes...
Hi there Titli, if they want to unsubscribe, let them, it's there problem, when I watched your video last night, as soon as you entered wine into that dish I knew straightaway "There's a storm brewing now"!! Even though I could easily tell by the texture and colour that was a halal alcohol free wine! I've got some myself, it tastes lovely! Now if all the "religious God squads" are threatening to unsubscribe, let them, it's there problem, why can't people have a little Sense of humour ?? You keep up the super work my love, I don't care whether you'll ever become Muslim/Jew/Christian/Hindu, black/white/yellow/green, I'll always be subscribed to you no matter what!
Perfect. The key to success as Titli showed is to reduce the wine marinade before adding, and then cooking the stew long and slow. Major intensified flavours.
Hi Titli! I am making this recipe for my parents tomorrow (with seitan because we're veggies). It looks superb! Just wanted to say that, as a convert, I understand the enormous hypocrisy and judgment that you must face from people whose own religiosity should be called into question when they act in such a hateful manner. You are so funny, witty, and knowledgeable and you are a wonderful ambassador of Islam in a time when the world needs help to see its inherent beauty, a beauty that has been clouded by extremists and zealots. خدا حافظ
Titli.....I love you and your recipies! Forget Delia, Mary B and the dozens of dull celebrity chefs who attempt to share their knowledge. You make cooking fun and easy to follow. From not being an advenurous cook I am now confidently making your delicious dishes and wowing my partner, frienda and family. Keep it going Titli.....you culinary goddess xxx
Titli,to be perfectly honest,I don't give a tinker's cuss whether you are muslim or not.All I know is you have some awesomely tasty recipes that you kindly share with us,and I think most people will feel the same way.This recipe looks delicious,so will be going into my must do book .TFS .
Looking forward to French month, and it's already off to a great start. I remember watching Julia Child's version on her first ever, black & white French Chef episode. Thank god for color, now I know how the braised onions are supposed to look!
I just figured you could use a positive comment: Don't let people on here tear you down. Your recipes are delicious, you videos very amusing, and you are a great mentor for a budding chef like me. I tried your Chinese lemon chicken last night and loved it; as I do all of your recipes. Keep up the awesome work :)
Hi Titli! The first time i've watch ur video i was greatly entertained from the fact that u can cook with humor in it, showing that cooking can be fun too! Also, u do it passionately coz i've noticed that ur method and style in cooking is not overdoing it but with great patience,and simply putting ur heart with every menu u post here. I learn a lot in every recipe coz u also shared trivias and tips and i am addicted waiting for another videos..! Aside from ur being hands-on on answering queries posted in comment section. And ur very smart and talented woman, i am a fan obviously! More power to u Titli :)
I love your recipe, your cooking is so straight forward and easy. And you always suggest other substitutes if the main ingredient isn't available. Don't bother with narrow minded people. Haters are meant to hate. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your sense of humor.
Tit, what an amazing amazing dish. My god did it shock us. Rich, falvoursom and wholesome. What a fab fab time we had. Had being past tense as currently need a nose plug for to mask the pure pure smell arising from beneath. That stench is too much to handle. But, when all said and done, we love you tit. Thank you xxxx
My overweening French cookbook declares that "To ensure the no one element of your boeuf bourguignon is overdone, cook the onions, mushrooms and beef separately before combining them. Although the different steps may be taken simultaneously, it is easier to deal with them one at a a time." There you have it, Titli, you didn't use every pot in your kitchen or trash it nearly enough to satisfy the French. I think I'll try yours anyway.
I like how you made this recipe, and that you simmered the wine to the point that no alcohol remained, so it is acceptable for those who don't drink alcohol. This is one of my favorite recipes. thank you!
Such a shame people always assume the worst...Anyways cant wait for this months recipes, My french husband will be pleased when I try making these dishes :)
I think we all need to remember that this is a cooking channel and not a religious beliefs or drama channel. She's here to to show or teach us how to cook. If you subscribed for religious reasons that's sad. she's not teach that. Smh let's keep in mind what's she's doing not what she's not doing or not supposed to be doing.
Dear Titli I love your cooking, humour, and imagination! Just superb! I just made Beef Bourguinon this week and here you have a wonderful video to boot! I'm sorry that some are not happy with the wine added, but why should they have the last say. Brava Madame and Aloha from Hawai'i! Did you know that a famous libation in Hawai'i is Okole Hau? :) Here's a Wikipedia bit: Okolehao is an ancient Hawaiian alcoholic spirit whose main ingredient was the root of the ti plant. Okolehao's forerunner was a fermented ti root beverage or beer. When distillation techniques were introduced by English seamen in 1790, it was distilled into a highly alcoholic spirit. Hawaiians discovered that if the ti root is baked, a sweet liquid migrates to the surface of the root. Chemically, the heat changed the starch in the root to a fermentable sugar. The baked root is then soaked in a vat of water which dissolves the sugar, and fermentation begins. The fermented drink was later distilled into a highly alcoholic spirit which became Hawaii's only indigenous distilled spirit, and was prized by the King. The Merrie Monarch, King David Kalakaua, is said to have had his own distiller.
***** Think that's a bit OTT..... Nobody trying to 'enforce' anything on you... To wine or not to wine , the choice is absolutely the cooks own... some people prefer not to add wine for no other reason than personal preference ...
I'm sure titli uses halal wine, because she is a reverted Muslim, Muslims do not touch alcohol! That dish looks yummy, will give it a try! Thanks for the lovely upload!
Actually, I know muslims that do drink alcohol, like all religions not everyone follows to the letter of the religious law so even if it was not halal wine it should not matter to you because it would be her choice to do so not yours. You are free to follow any religion or none at all as you see fit . This is a cooking channel not a religious show
no i was just letting you know you used the wrong word if you want to call her a muslim revert feel free personally dont care what religion she is I am not religious So not part of the GOD SQUAD of which you speak Have a lovely day
When cooking, qwertqwerty2983, all the alcohol is cooked out. That's why you can eat as much of this as you want and you'll never get drunk. There is no alcohol in the end product.
Excuse me Titli. I'm French and I do wanna state that I do *not* look like that! Please stop offending *my* culture like that! I'm just kidding, Titli. People sure love to overreact over silly little things, you always respond to them with such wit. It's part of why I love you.
I'm sure you know I lived in France for several years and came to respect and love the French people and their culture. We may even move back one day...
Titli, I've been watching your videos for a long time now - I think I've watched every one, including your garden and bread channels, but I like your busy kitchen videos the best. You showed me it's not so hard to tackle some pretty complex recipes and that it's okay to use my hands to mix things :) I noticed you started and ended your kitchen videos with something or other but just assumed it meant something like "welcome" and "goodbye" in some language or other. I can't wait to see what food you will take on next! I also like to try recipes from different countries, I use Jeff Smith's cookbook "On Our Immigrant Ancestors: Recipes You Should Have Gotten From Your Grandmother". I was surprised to find out you are muslim, as I have never met anyone who was muslim. Somehow I thought you all wore headscarves and had accents (I know, ignorance, ignorance.) Frankly it doesn't matter to me what religion you are, as long as I can still watch your videos :) From just watching your videos I think the idea that you would in any way ever be untrue to any of your personal beliefs is absurd. Cheers and very best regards from Michigan, U.S.A.
just so everyone is aware: using this cooking method DOES NOT remove all of the alcohol. I am aware Titli never said it would, I'm just letting yall know.
Actually I really liked your channel cos you provided ways to make classic recipes in a halal way. I'm kinda sad I cant make this now cus it looked tasty :/
People should know her sense of humour by now, gosh! But yes, I'll be honest, I did take a gasp then I thought, nah she wouldn't. It's not just because she is a Muslim that I watch her but because she is an amazing cook and yes, her dishes are halal and are of many different cultural cuisines, that's what I love to know - world food. So I can learn and make it myself. Many world foods are not halal so in some ways it does matter that she is a Muslim because she is catering for all the halal eaters, hence why some of us follow Titli's cooking. It's also alright to advise someone privately if you have an issue and always speak kindly, but you have to make sure that you are also pure as you make out to be or else you can come across as a hypocrite. This channel may not be about religion but it is to do with a person's halal and non-alcoholic preference. An alternative cooking methods, t'is all. Goodness knows if I made any sense there at all! Lol
Nana Raef Haters are fine. I'm fed up with the I'm-Oh-So-Pious Brigade and people who subscribe to my channel just because I'm muslim but then never watch my videos.
Kevin Mannens sorry titli i meant OK not oke I wrote that wrong becoause I'm dutch we don't say OK but oké btw do you know some dutch words or even speak dutch , I'm really interested to know
Titlis Busy Kitchen Titli I believe there are so many Muslims like me and my wife who watch, subs and enjoy your cooking video. I also wonder why you stop the usual saying "assalamualaikum" and now suddenly you use alcohol that is because we care about you, with that I keep in my mind that non of us clean or holy infront of Allah. Please take care and keep making a good recipe, best regards from Istanbul.
The wine I used was alcohol-free - Regular viewers would know that. This time I chose not to mention it. The result has been, sadly, predictable with a number of people instantly judging me and "offering me advice" or unsubscribing. I'm glad they have unsubscribed. If people watch my videos I like to think that it's because of the food I cook and not because they imagine that this is an offshoot of the Islam Channel! As for changing what used to be my usual greeting? I have my reasons.
Others might not have a lot of time for Moslem greetings and preferences within food. Titli has always acknowledged her recipes to be a starting point of a process, not the be all and end all. So absorb what you enjoy from them, while allowing others to do the same. It wasn't so lomhg ago Titli had to explain what Halaal food meant to moslems on her channel!
Oh my word! What a carry on over a bottle of wine (alcoholic or not!) Wow some people are totally bonkers! What else are you supposed to make beef bourguignon with? Chicken & lemonade?
Apparently assuming the wine was alcohol free makes me in the minority lol. Such a sad and boring life these people must lead to get so worked up. Stay classy, titli!
I don't understand why all these comments dissing people who don't consume alcohol? You get over it and understand that there are a lot of people out there who choose not to consume alcohol in any way in their diets either for religious, cultural or health reasons. Probably they won't make this recipe but I don't think they care much about that. I don't. So no need to make those feel inferior just because they are different to what you are used to!
Rusaila Bazlamit What the haters and the I'm-Oh-So-Pious brigade don't realise, because I didn't explicitly tell them, is that I used alcohol-free red wine. :-) This is the problem with many people - they judge without knowing all the facts.
Titlis Busy Kitchen Exactly. People are too eager to judge. In any case like any other cooking show or book. We can pick and choose which recipe to try, which recipe to tweak and which to skip altogether. Looking forward to the rest of the French month and I hope it will feature some of their amazing desserts.
1. your beef bourguignon looks superb! 2. for those nay sayers who whine about wine.....the alcohol COOKS OUT when you cook.....so GO POUND SAND! 3. as funny as ever. 4. you really sure that wasn't a TEA BAG?
I'm a proud Muslim, but reading these comments remind me why Muslims drive me crazy. Haroon ar-Rashid drank wine people (unlike Titli-the kind with alcohol), infact most of the Ummayyad and Abbassid leaders did. So are we going to write them out of history because they offend our sensibilities? Are we five years old?
i feel sorry for all these ppl.....if they have truly follow u since long,then they should have already know that u sometimes use non alcoholic wine in ur cooking.like all of these people never drink barbican all of their life!
what is with the un-subscibers? obviously people who chanced upon their parents having sex, and were repelled, instead of being attracted! sickies! and i hope that they are cured somedayl. Go, Titlis, Go!!
If the wine she used was non alcoholic she would have said so as she has always put in her disclaimers in the beginning. What can we Muslims use instead of wine titli as alcohol is haram for us?
What a strange version of the bourguignon... (a british one i guess!?) Normally there is no celeri in a boeuf bourguignon, and no more leek... what a nonsens! Only young oignons with the green was accepted (in some versions)... And a bourguignon without lardons it's not a bourguignon! (it's not supposed to be a halal or casher reicipe 😜 but if the "product from the fermentation of the grape" don't make u mad, try with lardons... from turkey meat if u prefere i don't care!) Traditionnally for the wine we use a red "bourgogne" (notice the origin: bougogne/bouguignon...) but a red wine not too strong like a californian merlot does a good job for that, serve with potatoes cooked in salted water or directly in the sauce (i do it like that). Personnally i add a piece of heart with my beef and i fry the meat with walnut oil mixed with butter... Trust me about "Le Boeuf Bourguignon": this is one of my best recipe, i am français and former cook madame!
I'm sure all Muslims will have a problem with that. Just call it juice or whatever it is. Better then making your self vulnerable to shaytaan spreading doubts about you to other people. Of course I always think the best of muslims and I know it's not wine but calling a halal thing by a haraam name, and calling muslims nut jobs, is inappropriate.
Family Laptop The more educated and thoughtful muslims will not have a problem with it. I call it what it says it is on the label. What other people think of me is of absolutely no importance - I am not answerable to them. And as far as I'm concerned any person, whatever their faith, who uses carefully selected parts of their religious text to justify barbarism is a nut job.
I think you're confusing religion with politics. Theresa May is Home Secretary not Foreign Secretary and is not responsible for foreign policy. The real nut jobs are messrs Bush & Blair. Leaders since then have been trying to undo their mess ever since. Islam is a beautiful religion but, sadly, muslims are their own worst enemy. There is a minority that believe that we should all be living like 7th Century Arabs and that anyone who doesn't believe exactly what they do must be killed. They casually ignore the Qur'an which tells us that "there is no compulsion in religion" but instead focus on the Surah describing behaviour in battle when attacked as justification for agression and barbarism. They ignore the history of coexistence in Medina and Mecca at the time of the Prophet. Regarding "Alcohol Free wine", let me remind you of Surah As-Saffat. "But the sincere devotees of Allah shall have familiar sustenance - fruits, and shall be honored in the gardens of delight. Reclining face to face upon soft couches, they shall be served with goblets filled at a fountain of wine, a crystal-white drink, delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their senses nor will they become drunk."
Titlis Busy Kitchen Flavoursome. An actual word! Having a full pleasant taste or flavour. Flavorful, American owned word. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
So I've had few of people who tell me they are unsubscribing from this TH-cam channel. This is a typical comment:
"Thought you were Muslim you just lost one subscriber if you are really Muslim you wouldn't use wine at all as the prophet (pbuh) said in this Hadith plus many more b. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3392 Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah".
Let me tell you that the Titli Book of Peeves, Volume 10 , Chapter 6, No. 4127 says that "people who subscribe to my channel simply because I'm muslim is as bad as anyone who subscribes simply because I'm not black, or American, or whatever."
Chapter 7 of the same volume, No 5361 says "nothing is more annoying than someone who quotes religious text without really understanding its deeper meaning and context."
"People who unsubscribe from my channel" does not feature in any of the 20 Volumes...
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes and your marvelous garden....You are loved
Hi there Titli, if they want to unsubscribe, let them, it's there problem, when I watched your video last night, as soon as you entered wine into that dish I knew straightaway "There's a storm brewing now"!!
Even though I could easily tell by the texture and colour that was a halal alcohol free wine! I've got some myself, it tastes lovely!
Now if all the "religious God squads" are threatening to unsubscribe, let them, it's there problem, why can't people have a little Sense of humour ??
You keep up the super work my love, I don't care whether you'll ever become Muslim/Jew/Christian/Hindu, black/white/yellow/green, I'll always be subscribed to you no matter what!
I would be quite happy if what you call the "religious God squads" would all unsubscribe!
Ha ha ha, that would be the ideal scenario Titli !
Love your channels Titli!
It's videos like this that remind me why I prefer TH-cam to television.
Just made this....delicious!
Thank you for another couple minutes of good and positive mood! Kind regards!
Looks delicious! I can't wait to try it...
Perfect. The key to success as Titli showed is to reduce the wine marinade before adding, and then cooking the stew long and slow. Major intensified flavours.
Hi Titli! I am making this recipe for my parents tomorrow (with seitan because we're veggies). It looks superb! Just wanted to say that, as a convert, I understand the enormous hypocrisy and judgment that you must face from people whose own religiosity should be called into question when they act in such a hateful manner. You are so funny, witty, and knowledgeable and you are a wonderful ambassador of Islam in a time when the world needs help to see its inherent beauty, a beauty that has been clouded by extremists and zealots. خدا حافظ
That looks amazing Titli.
Wonderful recipe Titlis. Thank-you for sharing it with us.
I'm Muslim and a culinary student. I love your sense of humor and the great recipes. Thank you. :)
Titli.....I love you and your recipies! Forget Delia, Mary B and the dozens of dull celebrity chefs who attempt to share their knowledge. You make cooking fun and easy to follow. From not being an advenurous cook I am now confidently making your delicious dishes and wowing my partner, frienda and family. Keep it going Titli.....you culinary goddess xxx
Titli,to be perfectly honest,I don't give a tinker's cuss whether you are muslim or not.All I know is you have some awesomely tasty recipes that you kindly share with us,and I think most people will feel the same way.This recipe looks delicious,so will be going into my must do book .TFS .
#Bringbacktitlinihaan
Come back Mother Titli! We miss your cooking! Your sense of humor! Your videos! We love you Nihaan!
Je t'aime! Tres bon.
beautiful dish!
Looking forward to French month, and it's already off to a great start. I remember watching Julia Child's version on her first ever, black & white French Chef episode. Thank god for color, now I know how the braised onions are supposed to look!
Love you and your sense of humor, Titli! Great positive vibe and thank you so much for a great recipe simplified.
I just figured you could use a positive comment: Don't let people on here tear you down. Your recipes are delicious, you videos very amusing, and you are a great mentor for a budding chef like me. I tried your Chinese lemon chicken last night and loved it; as I do all of your recipes. Keep up the awesome work :)
Hi Titli! The first time i've watch ur video i was greatly entertained from the fact that u can cook with humor in it, showing that cooking can be fun too!

I love your recipe, your cooking is so straight forward and easy. And you always suggest other substitutes if the main ingredient isn't available. Don't bother with narrow minded people. Haters are meant to hate. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your sense of humor.
Tit, what an amazing amazing dish. My god did it shock us. Rich, falvoursom and wholesome. What a fab fab time we had. Had being past tense as currently need a nose plug for to mask the pure pure smell arising from beneath. That stench is too much to handle. But, when all said and done, we love you tit. Thank you xxxx
CA ,c'est que j'appelle une fichtrement bonne recette ! Merci CHEF !!!!
I would never do that!!!!
I love you videos and they are all tasty too.
The first time I cooked your bourguignon I fell in love, I'm so looking forward to seeing more french dishes from you :)
In which Titli establishes editorial independence and pretty much speaks for everyone on the nutjobs issue.
Im Muslim and i watch your videos because i want to learn something from you ,thank you so much !may Allah give you long healthy life .ameen
My overweening French cookbook declares that "To ensure the no one element of your boeuf bourguignon is overdone, cook the onions, mushrooms and beef separately before combining them. Although the different steps may be taken simultaneously, it is easier to deal with them one at a a time." There you have it, Titli, you didn't use every pot in your kitchen or trash it nearly enough to satisfy the French. I think I'll try yours anyway.
Looks amazing this your channel is now my favorite
thank you, i must try this! all your recipes seem easy to make, I think I tried your naans, they were very easy to make, thanks :)
I like how you made this recipe, and that you simmered the wine to the point that no alcohol remained, so it is acceptable for those who don't drink alcohol. This is one of my favorite recipes. thank you!
I'm not unsubscribing. I like your sense of humour and recipes
And here I thought people suscribed to you because of your wonderfully amusing way of cooking amazing dishes...
Going to make this tonight !
I love your videos Titli! More please?
+Patricia DelMercado Sorry but I don't have time to make TH-cam videos. I am too busy with my gardening business.
+Titlis Busy Kitchen ok, it was fun while it lasted. I thought that you said you are a doctor????
No, I am a gardener.
you aren't even Titli. Why are you lying. You know we can see you aren't her
beret and striped shirts, "get over it," and "nobody's paying me to say that." Love it, love it - you're such a sweetie!
It's cold where I live so that would go down nice and warm....
Forget the haters Titli, I love how you slay them.
Such a shame people always assume the worst...Anyways cant wait for this months recipes, My french husband will be pleased when I try making these dishes :)
That looks delicious. I will try to duplicate that recipe
I love this channel. Always makes me smile. I was just wondering what (herbs?) was in the tea bag thingy?????
Oh yeah, right up my alley. This looks beautiful!!
I'm always thinking about the movie Julie and Julia, when I see a fantastic Beef Bourguignon like this! Great recipe!
.... Then I remember that half the movie was good, and wish it were longer, and the other half was vapid and shouldn't exist at all.
O2BSoLucky Ah well, I love the movie. It's all about food!
I think we all need to remember that this is a cooking channel and not a religious beliefs or drama channel. She's here to to show or teach us how to cook.

lol! love the beret and "french costume" titli ~.~
Looooove this stew!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is great! I will try it soon.
Oh by the way what's the problem with wine?
Lol
No problem. The alcohol should cook off, leaving just the winey goodness.
***** Think that's a bit OTT..... Nobody trying to 'enforce' anything on you... To wine or not to wine , the choice is absolutely the cooks own... some people prefer not to add wine for no other reason than personal preference ...
There are people who are a little bit too sensitive even only when hearing the word 'wine'.
naah do whatever u want to do man !
I'm sure titli uses halal wine, because she is a reverted Muslim, Muslims do not touch alcohol!
That dish looks yummy, will give it a try! Thanks for the lovely upload!

Have a lovely day
"halal wine"

Could you do the 8QT pressure cooker version? with a hint of raspberry. Thanks
wonderful video as always Titli :D
Will you do a "soufflé au fromage" during your fench adventure?
Excuse me Titli. I'm French and I do wanna state that I do *not* look like that! Please stop offending *my* culture like that! I'm just kidding, Titli. People sure love to overreact over silly little things, you always respond to them with such wit. It's part of why I love you.
I'm sure you know I lived in France for several years and came to respect and love the French people and their culture. We may even move back one day...
Aw Titli I'm not even French. It was a joke in line with the dramatic comments you've been getting here.
:-)
Titli, I've been watching your videos for a long time now - I think I've watched every one, including your garden and bread channels, but I like your busy kitchen videos the best. You showed me it's not so hard to tackle some pretty complex recipes and that it's okay to use my hands to mix things :)

Brilliant! :)
Nice hat Titli! .'D Lol, even though you're not French you look good in it! :D
Never seen this marinated before... I make my own bouquet garni from emptied teabags.
hehehehe, I love it. Yumm !
Best stew in the world??? Debatable... your Lamb kleftico was pretty darned good.... a bientot!
just so everyone is aware: using this cooking method DOES NOT remove all of the alcohol. I am aware Titli never said it would, I'm just letting yall know.
Love U!
Actually I really liked your channel cos you provided ways to make classic recipes in a halal way. I'm kinda sad I cant make this now cus it looked tasty :/
she used non alcoholic wine she has stated
Good on you Titli and selam aleykum x
The alcohol evaporates during the cooking process, so all you get is the juice. Right?
I got that from a cooking show a few years back.
but you've done beef bourguignon long time ago in france...
What can we use to replace the alcohol free red wine, if we don't get one?
Anyone watching.. this is the BEST beef stew in the world! She’s right
I love your channels so much titli..don't care about them
People should know her sense of humour by now, gosh! But yes, I'll be honest, I did take a gasp then I thought, nah she wouldn't.
It's not just because she is a Muslim that I watch her but because she is an amazing cook and yes, her dishes are halal and are of many different cultural cuisines, that's what I love to know - world food. So I can learn and make it myself. Many world foods are not halal so in some ways it does matter that she is a Muslim because she is catering for all the halal eaters, hence why some of us follow Titli's cooking.
It's also alright to advise someone privately if you have an issue and always speak kindly, but you have to make sure that you are also pure as you make out to be or else you can come across as a hypocrite.
This channel may not be about religion but it is to do with a person's halal and non-alcoholic preference. An alternative cooking methods, t'is all.
Goodness knows if I made any sense there at all! Lol
You're obviously fed up with haters Titli..... :D
Nana Raef Haters are fine. I'm fed up with the I'm-Oh-So-Pious Brigade and people who subscribe to my channel just because I'm muslim but then never watch my videos.
Kevin Mannens sorry titli i meant OK not oke I wrote that wrong becoause I'm dutch we don't say OK but oké
btw do you know some dutch words or even speak dutch , I'm really interested to know
Titlis Busy Kitchen Titli I believe there are so many Muslims like me and my wife who watch, subs and enjoy your cooking video. I also wonder why you stop the usual saying "assalamualaikum" and now suddenly you use alcohol that is because we care about you, with that I keep in my mind that non of us clean or holy infront of Allah. Please take care and keep making a good recipe, best regards from Istanbul.
The wine I used was alcohol-free - Regular viewers would know that. This time I chose not to mention it. The result has been, sadly, predictable with a number of people instantly judging me and "offering me advice" or unsubscribing. I'm glad they have unsubscribed. If people watch my videos I like to think that it's because of the food I cook and not because they imagine that this is an offshoot of the Islam Channel!
As for changing what used to be my usual greeting? I have my reasons.
Others might not have a lot of time for Moslem greetings and preferences within food.
Titli has always acknowledged her recipes to be a starting point of a process, not the be all and end all.
So absorb what you enjoy from them, while allowing others to do the same.
It wasn't so lomhg ago Titli had to explain what Halaal food meant to moslems on her channel!
Oh my word! What a carry on over a bottle of wine (alcoholic or not!) Wow some people are totally bonkers!
What else are you supposed to make beef bourguignon with? Chicken & lemonade?
You tell 'em, Titli! "Get over it!" If you don't like it, don't make it, and stop whining. Great recipe. Thanks.
Can you make honey candy
Since it's French food month, make French toast and French fries!
French fries are from Belgium!
Boiled beef n' carrots Del Boy ! :P
Apparently assuming the wine was alcohol free makes me in the minority lol. Such a sad and boring life these people must lead to get so worked up. Stay classy, titli!
I don't understand why all these comments dissing people who don't consume alcohol? You get over it and understand that there are a lot of people out there who choose not to consume alcohol in any way in their diets either for religious, cultural or health reasons. Probably they won't make this recipe but I don't think they care much about that. I don't. So no need to make those feel inferior just because they are different to what you are used to!
Rusaila Bazlamit What the haters and the I'm-Oh-So-Pious brigade don't realise, because I didn't explicitly tell them, is that I used alcohol-free red wine. :-) This is the problem with many people - they judge without knowing all the facts.
Titlis Busy Kitchen
Exactly. People are too eager to judge. In any case like any other cooking show or book. We can pick and choose which recipe to try, which recipe to tweak and which to skip altogether. Looking forward to the rest of the French month and I hope it will feature some of their amazing desserts.
I think the comments about the wine are rather funny
You remind me of Julia Child! :D
Are you related to Ken Dodd?
1. your beef bourguignon looks superb!
2. for those nay sayers who whine about wine.....the alcohol COOKS OUT when you cook.....so GO POUND SAND!
3. as funny as ever.
4. you really sure that wasn't a TEA BAG?
Actually, not all the alcohol evaporates. This has been tested.
double the shrooms
I'm a proud Muslim, but reading these comments remind me why Muslims drive me crazy. Haroon ar-Rashid drank wine people (unlike Titli-the kind with alcohol), infact most of the Ummayyad and Abbassid leaders did. So are we going to write them out of history because they offend our sensibilities? Are we five years old?
Aw, no funny french this time? :(
I still prefer your previous Beef Bourgugnon video even if you forgot the bouquet garni :)
Keep up the good work!
i feel sorry for all these ppl.....if they have truly follow u since long,then they should have already know that u sometimes use non alcoholic wine in ur cooking.like all of these people never drink barbican all of their life!
I don't get it? Did she use alcohol in her cooking? Just asking.
Whether there's alcohol in there is 'not your beef', but you certainly can cook your beef without using alcohol.
Ya it's a sad state when you have to defend your choices in a video. But I giggle when I hear Lardon.
what is with the un-subscibers? obviously people who chanced upon their parents having sex, and were repelled, instead of being attracted! sickies! and i hope that they are cured somedayl. Go, Titlis, Go!!
If the wine she used was non alcoholic she would have said so as she has always put in her disclaimers in the beginning. What can we Muslims use instead of wine titli as alcohol is haram for us?
Mariam Akaash You answered your own question in the first sentence!!!!!
What a strange version of the bourguignon... (a british one i guess!?) Normally there is no celeri in a boeuf bourguignon, and no more leek... what a nonsens!
Only young oignons with the green was accepted (in some versions)... And a bourguignon without lardons it's not a bourguignon! (it's not supposed to be a halal or casher reicipe 😜 but if the "product from the fermentation of the grape" don't make u mad, try with lardons... from turkey meat if u prefere i don't care!)
Traditionnally for the wine we use a red "bourgogne" (notice the origin: bougogne/bouguignon...) but a red wine not too strong like a californian merlot does a good job for that, serve with potatoes cooked in salted water or directly in the sauce (i do it like that).
Personnally i add a piece of heart with my beef and i fry the meat with walnut oil mixed with butter...
Trust me about "Le Boeuf Bourguignon": this is one of my best recipe, i am français and former cook madame!
ITS NON ALCOHOLIC WINE PEOPLE PLEASE CHILL OUT!!!!!!! AS WE DONT KNOW THE SISTER PERSONALLY THIS IS THE WAY SHE JOKES...
I'm sure all Muslims will have a problem with that. Just call it juice or whatever it is. Better then making your self vulnerable to shaytaan spreading doubts about you to other people. Of course I always think the best of muslims and I know it's not wine but calling a halal thing by a haraam name, and calling muslims nut jobs, is inappropriate.
Family Laptop The more educated and thoughtful muslims will not have a problem with it. I call it what it says it is on the label. What other people think of me is of absolutely no importance - I am not answerable to them. And as far as I'm concerned any person, whatever their faith, who uses carefully selected parts of their religious text to justify barbarism is a nut job.
I think you're confusing religion with politics. Theresa May is Home Secretary not Foreign Secretary and is not responsible for foreign policy. The real nut jobs are messrs Bush & Blair. Leaders since then have been trying to undo their mess ever since.
Islam is a beautiful religion but, sadly, muslims are their own worst enemy. There is a minority that believe that we should all be living like 7th Century Arabs and that anyone who doesn't believe exactly what they do must be killed. They casually ignore the Qur'an which tells us that "there is no compulsion in religion" but instead focus on the Surah describing behaviour in battle when attacked as justification for agression and barbarism. They ignore the history of coexistence in Medina and Mecca at the time of the Prophet.
Regarding "Alcohol Free wine", let me remind you of Surah As-Saffat. "But the sincere devotees of Allah shall have familiar sustenance - fruits, and shall be honored in the gardens of delight. Reclining face to face upon soft couches, they shall be served with goblets filled at a fountain of wine, a crystal-white drink, delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their senses nor will they become drunk."
Flavourful? Really? C'mon m'dear!!!!
mahtay2000 Flavourful. Adjective. Having a full pleasant taste or flavour
Titlis Busy Kitchen Flavoursome. An actual word! Having a full pleasant taste or flavour. Flavorful, American owned word. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
At least I'm not getting into religious chitchat!
And for that I am grateful :-)
