When you bite into this dumpling, you can really taste the result of the caramelized aromatics.
INGREDIENTS
For the wrapper
280 grams of all purpose flour
180 grams of hot water
1/2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of vegetable oil
For the filling
500 grams of ground pork
2-3 tbsp of vegetable oil (Amazon link - geni.us/jlg85dn)
1 cup of diced onion
1/3 cup of minced garlic
2.5 tbsp of minced ginger
2 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/XhhnS)
1/3 cup of chicken stock or water
1.5 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/nmsF8)
1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link - geni.us/Bhf1r)
1/2 tsp of sugar
Black pepper to taste
1/3 cup of scallion
160 grams of corn blanched or frozen
For the dipping sauce
2 tbsp of pure peanut butter (Amazon Link - geni.us/NuU9TbS)
2 tsp of pure sesame butter (Amazon Link - geni.us/WRmWkHx)
1 tbsp of sugar
1/3 tsp of salt or to taste
1/2 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/XhhnS)
1/2 tbsp of chinese black vinegar (Amazon Link - geni.us/JBaKmyL)
3-4 tbsp of boiling water
Chili flake and sesame seeds as garnish (Amazon Link - geni.us/wq0w7L)
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the all-purpose flour and salt then pour the boiling hot water into the flour in batches. Stir to cooperate. Let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Form the flour into a rough dough. Add 2 tsp of vegetable oil and knead it until the oil is absorbed. Cover and rest for 15 minute. Knead it again for a few more minutes or until smooth. Shape it into a log then cover and rest for 30 more minutes.
While waiting, we can caramelize some aromatics. Add vegetable oil, diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the wok. Stir over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes or until the garlic bits are golden brown. Turn off the heat and add the chicken stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chinese cooking wine, sugar, and some black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
Combine the ground pork with the caramelized aromatics. Stir in one direction for 3-5 minutes to develop the texture. Add diced scallion and sweet corn. Mix thoroughly and your filling is done.
The dumpling dough has been rested for 30 minutes. Roll it into a long even log then divide into 40 pieces (11-12 grams each). Lightly dust some flour to prevent stickiness. Cover with a damp towel so they don't dry out.
Take one piece of the dough. Dust it with a little more flour. Flatten it with your hand first, then roll it into a round wrapper.
Put about 1.5 tbsp of filling in the middle. The left hand holds the wrapper and the filling. Pinch the right corner and lift it up. Pinch a pleat on the bottom half of the wrapper, then make one on the top half of the wrapper. One after another. Repeat this all the way until the end. Rub the little tip to close the dumpling.
To steam the dumplings, line the steamer with a damp cheesecloth and place the dumplings in. Start with cold water. Once it comes to a boil, continue to steam for 12 minutes. You can also use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Just make sure you poke some holes to allow the steam to go through.
Serve with peanut dipping sauce.
Knowledge Point: The water ratio for this dumpling wrapper is 64% while the regular homemade dumpling wrapper is usually 55% or less. That is because hot water denatured some of the protein and the flour can now adsorb more water without being sticky. The dumpling does not contact the water directly while steaming, with a little bit of extra water that we forced into the dough, the skin will come out nice and soft.

Oh, there are many many reasons why I subscribed and remain subscribed. Your energy is beautiful and your teaching style really helps me learn these traditional techniques and recipes so smoothly. I always look forward to seeing you pop up in my subscriptions!
I found you thru the internet…I was looking how to fold dumpling.
I found all aspects of your channel & recipes engaging! They are always interesting, helpful, informative, but mostly DELICIOUS!
On top of that is your lovable & friendly delivery, which is so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all your work! 😊❤️🙏🇨🇦
subscribed by getting referred by a friend and seeing your delicious recipes
With living in a smaller town, we have little options for good quality Chinese food. We adopted our daughter from China and I wanted to provide comforting dishes for her that she has some vague memory of (she loves noodles). It also allows me to learn how to make the foods that I experienced while there.
Souped Up Recipes is among my top channels that I subscribe to for learning how to cook Chinese food. I can tell how much effort and love she puts into her videos and how she is constantly learning over the years.
I agree
Hello Chris! I recommend "Chinese Cooking Demystified" for another great channel on authentic Chinese cooking!
Such a sweet comment ❤️
@@lcanton9146 Ikr! So wholesome
@@RedPanda391 ❤️❤️❤️
The way you explain every detail , show us step by step , make diffirent kinds of dishes , always have new ways and methods .... just by watching your videos you go allover a new cooking journey , and through the Chinese culture . Your recipes are wonderful , thank you so much ❤
i agree
Yes , For sure 😊❤️
I've made so many of her recipes at home. She makes it so easy to understand and follow. 🥰🥰🥰
@@theresa5059 exactly , thats why i've subscriebed ☺
I couldnt agree more! I have made so many of her recipes are they are so easy to follow and I always leave learning something new!
Your attention to every little detail and nuance of Chinese cuisine is why I keep waiting for the next video. I was literally watching your chicken and broccoli video when my notification for this steamed dumplings video came up. I just love watching your videos and making your meals. By the way, Mandy, what kind of knives do you use? Have you ever thought of selling knives too? I can’t wait to try these dumplings, especially because I love corn!
i agree
Agree! I love how you get down to the basics. I learn so much from your videos about cooking techniques that are often not just relevant to Chinese cuisine but cooking in general. I have stalked your Amazon page several times for ingredients / equipment I need in my kitchen.
you've literally made authentic chinese cuisine more accessible to normal people like me. plus your explanations and instructions are easy to follow, definitely helps the food is successful and looks freakin delicious
It’s embarrassing to admit but I’m Chinese and the daughter of a wonderful Chinese Mom who is an amazing cook! However I moved away after college and never learned to cook all the traditional Chinese, specifically HK, dishes I loved as a child. So when I found you channel, I was super thrilled to be able to replicate some of my Mom’s dishes.
Your videos are professional yet easy to follow. You’re super happy which is a big deal for me b/c I love enthusiastic and positive people like myself. 😄 So in a way, it’s almost like learning to cook with a friend.
The results is what matters so that’s why I subscribed. You rock! P.S. I think your style of cooking is an awesome representation of Chinese cooking and hopefully shows non-Chinese cookers that it’s worth a try to learn and enjoy.
I love TH-cam for having videos where you can learn by watching. That is how I learn best, seeing someone do something. You are an amazing instructor.
I like how you simplify the steps of any recipe and how I feel like you "Hold my hand" while I try the recipes. Thank you!
100% agree. Mandy makes everything so clear and easy to understand. When trying a new dish or cuisine, the hand-holding gives me confidence to start AND finish.
My kids became fascinated with Chinese cuisine after taking part in a 3-week intensive Chinese language course. One of the favorite times of the course was learning how to make dumplings. Of course, I had to learn how to make them myself so that they could continue to enjoy this amazing dish! Your videos were the best I came across. You always explain everything so well, beyond just what to do, but also why and how things can be done differently. Thank you so much!!
i agree
Yeap, dumplings making is one of my weaknesses too. That's another reason why I like to follow Mandy's way to make them. Speaking of corn in dumplings, that's my kids favorite. To buy ready made, the prices can add up quite significantly.
My husband found your very first video on TH-cam and said, "You have to see this!" We've been hooked ever since and have enjoyed making many of your recipes. We don't order out anymore because we know we can make almost any Chinese dish better at home thanks to you.😉
hello have you tried adding breadcrumbs to the dumplings? thanks guys good day!
Most of her recipes are common home-cooked dishes, but there are many banquet dishes that are not introduced, and even many Chinese people do not nfamiliar with Chinese banquet dishes.
I love your no-nonsense approach to make Chinese food, It’s as authentic as it can be. For how long you have that shrimp wonton episode aired, was how long I tried and enjoyed the same wonton. As always, thanks for the recipes!
I have always loved Chinese food but was afraid to attempt to prepare it myself. After watching a few of your lovely videos I thought I can do this. I have made several of your recipes. They turned out great. Thank you. I also love the history and technical things you share. Thanks again.
I like how you go into detail with your ingredients and also give alternatives for them and ofcoz your in-depth explanation of everything you do, and the history too.
I kept on getting reccommendations of your channel. Always do when a cooking channel will start to blow up. Totally sticked with u because of the vast amount of delicious Chinese recipes you were whipping up. Also very insightful to to the cooking methods u do(like explaining about how the wok shouldn't etc.) Watch lots of cooking channels but in terms of Chinese cuisine ur the one I keep coming back to so I definitely subscribed!
The reasons why I subscribed to your channel are 1) the friendliness of your smile 2) your thorough and step by step explanations 3) the great choice of dishes. Please keep up the great work and thank you very much for your kindness.
My Dad was Chinese, our family is from Hong Kong but he came to the states when he was about 6 and got bullied really bad growing up. Because of this he never felt comfortable teaching me about our culture. After he passed suddenly when I was 17 I’ve been studying all the time to get closer to my heritage. I appreciate you sharing this recipe so I can better make dumplings from scratch for my family. I know my dad would’ve liked to see me make them too
You make your videos so easy to understand, explain some of the origins of the dish, give us links and/or substitutions for ingredients that might be hard to find, and are genuinely just so cheerful and relaxing to listen to. I actually tried to make dumplings for the first time last week using one of your recipes and although they weren’t perfect they were super tasty! I’ve been subscribed for more than a year now and still can’t wait to see what you do in the future. Thank you for your hard work teaching us to make such delicious food!
I subscribed because I really like Chinese cuisine and wanted to know more about how to make it myself! I definitely stayed for how in-depth a lot of your instructions are; they’re very helpful to someone like me who doesn’t have a lot of experience with cooking in general :)
Hi Mandy, I subscribed to your channel for three reasons. First, I love Chinese food and your recipes are so delicious. Second, I like how you explain the cooking process for each of your recipes, you make everything look so simple. And third, I like how you provide written recipes in the description of each of your videos. Your channel is awesome, keep up the good work.
I live in an area where good Chinese food is either too far away (like 1400 miles) or not good at all. A few years ago I came across your channel and have never looked back. Thanks to you and your channel, my family enjoys really good Chinese food again, it is good to save money by making it at home and having enough to share with others, especially elderly who love your delicious Chinese food! It really cheers everyone up! I love that the recipes can be made kosher by using your methods for tenderizing beef and chicken! Thank you so much for all you do. Blessings!
I had been looking for a recipe for baozi, steamed pork buns, and found your recipe a few years ago. Your very clear explanations and exceptional attention to any tricky detail of the recipe made it super easy to follow and ultimately foolproof, so that just a few hours later I was basically in a food coma, because I had eaten way too many of those delicious babies. 😄 I immediately subscribed and have since followed many other recipes. I'm also routinely recommending your channel and recipes to anyone who just mentions Chinese food or recipes to me. 💛
I was searching for authentic Chinese recipes a long time ago. Stumbled upon your content and instantly subscribed. I think you still had about 50k subscribers at that time. I still follow your recipes if I have ingredients on hand
Mandy is so great at explaining her method and includes some really solid information on the ingredients she uses. Each video is also the perfect length, with so much information and technique packed in. We've learned so much from her!
I love how you patiently teach technique and calmly explain why. I always feel that I can absolutely prepare the dishes. I have never had one turn out anything but delicious. Thank you!
Not only do I learn how to cook with your amazing recipes and guidance, I get a food technology science class. Thank you Mandy!!!
The reason is simple. The INTRO, narration and that lovely accent. I smashed the subscribe button about 15 seconds into the first video I watched. Long, long time ago 🤗🐉
I agree! Her voice is so lovely, pleasing and re-assuring!
@@melissaf5292 It's amazing how a 10 minute video can turn a bad day around quickly. Must be thousands of fans that turned a frown upside down as soon as they received notification of a new video 🤗
The quality of food and the easy instruction plus your personality is what keeps us coming back.
The way you explain every bit of the recipes from which ingredient to choose to the history and science behind what you cook really makes the videos enjoyable and helpful !
I really appreciate how you put all the details in your description on how we can make the recipe. It really helps when we attempt to make the recipes as good as you. Thank you
I have watched you for a couple of years now. I love how you explain and show every step so clearly that I can now make some of your recipes with ease....which I never thought possible! Thank you, please keep showing and explaining your recipes as only you can. I still have lots to learn and I'm counting on you!
I love your recipes and the technics you show everyone! Thank you!
I love that you always take time to explain the steps to every dish. My husband is learning to cook from your channel.
Definitely the way you describe each step - makes everything really simple and the recipes are just delicious!
Love your energy and how much detail you put into explaining your recipes and techniques. It makes following your instructions so much easier, and your dishes taste great.
Love your positive energy, easy to follow instructions and watching you make delicious Chinese food always makes me so hungry!
Mandy this is why I subscribed you make your videos so easy to understand, explain the origins of the dish, give us links and/or substitutions for ingredients that might be hard to find, and are genuinely just so cheerful and relaxing to listen to. I love your videos!
I love your energy. You seem genuine and happy! You make each recipe/method seem approachable, and each one I've tried has been delicious.
You make it look so easy every time you cook. When i try it, my kitchen is like been through a cat 5 hurricane. I love that you’re very soft spoken and explain the procedure well. Thank you for sharing your talent to us.
Love the simplicity and explanations of your cooking techniques. Everything always looks so good but really like that you admit a mistake and explain how to correct it. Have been watching for years and regret not getting your wok when it launched.
I love the way you explain each step in a recipe and that you set realistic expectations if a recipe is going to be a fair bit of work. You make your recipes and techniques very approachable and I've learned so much from you!
What made me subscribe? YOU!!! Yur attention to detail and the way you show how to make many of the base items that so many other channels simply say to buy, wrappers, sauces, noodles... you're awesome!
I was searching for authentic chinese recipes - it's my favorite type of food. I've seen lots of videos but when I came across Souped Up Recipes I was immediately drawn to the detail you put into how you make the dishes, and I'm always so appreciative of the fact that you use science to explain things that I would've taken for granted so it's easier to follow the rules. I also appreciate the fact that you draw on your own experience and heritage. You make all of the work look so easy - even the long-haul ones and those that take patience, like homemade noodles. I always turn to your channel when I need a chinese/cantonese food fix. You've never failed me yet. Thank you so much for your dedication to all of us.
I subscribed to you because of how reassuring you are, your near foolproof recipes, and how you show us both authentic and American Chinese dishes. I have had so much fun cooking with you and have created amazing dishes. I love getting to expand my cooking abilities and use different ingredients.
Your attention to detail and the way you take it step by step tells me you really enjoy doing this. That is very refreshing.
AUTHENTIC & ACCESSIBLE --- real flavors/ingredients while also being something I can cook. Thank you for all you have shared!
I said it to you in a comment when I first subscribed to your channel long ago and will say it again: the level of detail and the explanations of the cooking process are what makes your content so unique. I love cooking channels because I love to cook, but it's very easy to forget crucial steps when you get into the zone in the kitchen. Your explanations help highlight why those steps are so important and makes them hard to forget
The detail you put into these videos but also how simply you make things is what keeps me sticking around, plus the food is delicious!
what really made me subscribe was the simplicity of all your videos and the touch of your personality that makes the videos enjoyable and not completely stale have been my go to TH-cam chef for years now!!
I started watching your channel at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. We were locked down in the Bronx with restaurants closed and no means to get Chinese food delivered. If we wanted Chinese food, I had to make it myself. I started with something easy, like chicken and broccoli, and moved up to dumplings. My family was thrilled, I learned how to cook a new cuisine courtesy of your very detailed instructions, and I have continued to use your methods even though we can now get food delivered. There is nothing better than homemade and I am so proud that I learned to cook dishes that I was too afraid or frankly too lazy to do before. Thank you!
I was looking for authentic Chinese recipes with English descriptions, and your channel was suggested. And I was hooked ever since, stocked my pantry with the most common ingredients, and have made loads of dumplings, stir-fries, and soups.
I’ve followed for a while…because you always break down a recipe in a way that makes it easy to follow…you’re awesome. I can’t wait to try this one.
Love all your videos. My wife and I love learning how to make such delicious recipes. You have inspired us to cook more Chinese and other Asian dishes. Thank you!
What made me subscribe to your Channel was the fact that you were answering all the questions that I've always wanted to know about when cooking Chinese food. Such as how to keep the meat tender in stir fry, giving that velvety texture to noodles/dumpling/won tons, perfect soups, amazing flavours and above all - the simplicity. Thank you so much, Kris.🇦🇺🍜🥟🥠
Ever since the first video was suggested to me I have subscribed to your channel. I love your personality, attention to detail, easy to follow instructions without a lot of extra unrelated chatter. I do love the explanations and stories about how a dish is served in China and tales of your youth. And I especially love your recipes!
I love the way you explain not only how to cook but the history around dishes!
What I love is your detailed explanation of how to make everything. It is clear and easy to follow.
I love how you explained the methods and techniques of dumpling making. I learn so much from you and I will be attempting to make this very recipe tomorrow.
Your personality is so sweet and welcoming! You explain things very well and state why we should or should not do something which means you are humble and respect us that we cook and enjoy food just like you do. Thank you very much.
The variety of your recipes keeps me coming back!
You're an authentic and interesting person making authentic and interesting food! I've been following your channel since 2017, and I have loved seeing your production changes. Setting time aside to watch your new uploads brings me much joy.
I was looking for good recipes to make at home and stumbled across your channel. They were informative, but not boring, you made it clear what products you use and sometimes alternatives, which helped a lot in the more rural areas without access to Asian markets. I've made several of your recipes since and they've always turned out great.
I came to your channel because you were the most authentic cook and now I have watched every video you have made you are a great cook and a lovely person 💞
I subbed to your channel a long time ago because of how you explain every detail so just about anyone can cook your recipes. I love Chinese cuisine and your channel is the best. Thank you and continued success on your channel.
I love how easy you make all your dishes seem. Very encouraging.
I was looking up authentic Asian recipes and came across your channel. I watched one video and was hooked. Love the way you explain the history and culture of the dish you are making and your recipes are divine! Not always the simplest of recipes but the extra work is ALWAYS worth it. Love love love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
I initially subscribed to your channel because I loved your enthusiasm for cooking and teaching dishes that you love. I really enjoyed learning from someone who was just as happy about cooking as I am! The recipes that I have tried have all been so fantastic, you are truly an amazing cook!
I subscribed because I wanted to learn more about Chinese cooking to get closer to my heritage and make the dishes from my childhood! Also because your videos are so clear and informative and your personality seems to genuine and helpful! And all of the recipes look delicious! I love that you cover the techniques and meanings behind everything. Definitely the most in-depth cooking videos ever, it's great!
Have been watching your videos for some time now. I agree with others that say you make it sound so doable with clear and easy explanations and examples. A lot better than some others I have seen. I also like how you give substitute item in case the ones you show are not available.
Thank you for all the effort you put into your presentations.
I love the way you talk, primarily. And you seem very kind and knowledgeable. Great recipes, too!
I love cooking Asian cuisine. I love eating Asian cuisine. The spices and sauces are so flavorful. I like how detailed you are in your dishes and you tells us substitutions for difficult to get ingredients. I like hearing the stories behind the dishes and how to pronounce them correctly. Thank you for sharing!
wanted to see how authentic Chinese food was prepared. after finding your channel I never looked anywhere else. your very clear and concise. everything looks delicious.
My Bf & I started watching your videos early on in the pandemic. Initially to help calm us down for bed at night but once we followed one of your earlier dumpling recipes, that sealed the deal. We’ve learned so much about cooking from you. Chinese food has always been my favorite cuisine, love how diverse each dish can be, def much more than the take out most Americans grow up with. And you’re awesome btw, we look forward to your new posts every week. Thanks for all you do!
I came across your channel quiet by accident and immediately liked the way you explained the recipe step by step and with clear voice. I liked the way how you greeted us wirh a big warm smile 😊. I managed to do a lot of your recipes and my Chinese husband was very impressed thanks to you. I did your dumplings and froze them. They came out so good! I love all your recipes especially fish and the fried rice. A big big thank you. 🙏🙏👏👏👏
I have watched many video’s in Chinese cooking and your teaching by far makes it so much easier to understand. I have definitely subscribed to your channel. Thank you 😋
Looks amazing. You’re recipes are the best.
This channel has always had great recipes and the quality of your videos have come along way. Fantastic job 👍
I love your channel because it teaches me so many incredible chinese recipes. I've loved japanese cuisine for some years now but I hadn't actually gotten into chinese cuisine until I found your channel. You've given me a lot of love for this country. You love to cook and enjoy eating everything you cook and watching you is as satisfying as it is rewarding. You care so much about us and about making your recipes accessible to everyone with changes in ingredients depending on where we live and what we can cook. You not only teach us a dish, you teach us so many different variations so that everyone finds at least one they love. You're incredible. I've learnt a lot from you and I hope to keep learning in the future. Thank you so much, Mandy!!
I found your channel after searching for new ways to cook at the house. My daughter and I love to cook, and we were constantly looking for new things to try, and we love Asian food, and so here we are! Love all your videos, very descriptive and love your enthusiasm.
You are so enthusiastic and calm at the same time! I find the details and tips you share really helpful when I try your recipes. The one I make the most often is for garlic vegetables. I want to learn to make thin dough well (like noodles or wrappers) and you have given me the confidence to try.
Thank you for always putting together detailed recipes that are easy to follow. Also, I always appreciate you explain the "why" and not just "what" - to allow us to better understand how to generalize the concepts we learn from your recipes. Definitely my favorite cooking channel by far!

The authenticity of the recipes you propose. We can really see all the hard work you put in the recipes. I love how you explain why we need to do this or not do that. You don't just tell us what to do, you make us understand what happens :)
I also love how you give us some context and history about the dish you are making.
As a third generation of Chinese people in Europe, you help me learn a bit more of my culture, and of course, the taste always ends up amazing!!
Because I love Chinese food, and you make it seem so simple to make! I love the way you explain everything! Thank you and God Bless!
All these detailed instructions and ways to get better acquainted with Chinese methods and ingredients are what made me subscribe to this channel. Probably my favourite channel!
I love how you break down each recipe and explain why you are using a certain technique. I also love when you give background of the dish and the area it is from. I have yet to make one of your recipes due to not being able to find all the ingredients when I go shopping for supplies. I'll need to take a trip to my local Asian market so I can make one soon.
i love that you explain *why* your recipes are done that way. plus the excellent editing and of course your personality 😍
This is the best channel to learn how to cook authentic Chinese food! I tried 糖醋里脊 and that reminded me so much of my time in Hangzhou. Thank you for sharing all these amazing recipes with us.
I subscribed because you provide straightforward instructions and unique but often simple recipes. Thanks for all the work you put in, and for sharing your knowledge with us!
I started watching your videos because I love trying to make authentic recipes at home. I enjoy learning different foods from different cultures. I subscribed to your channel because you show us great technique and you give us history about the recipes at the same time. You're very informative and you make things so easy to understand. I've really enjoy what I've learned from you.
Your channel was an instant subscribe for me, because you are one of the few food channels on TH-cam that actually explain why they make their decisions. Your knowledge of cooking techniques is basically at a culinary institute level, and I learn new things in almost every video. You put the food first, but still ooze tons of charisma while doing so. Keep up the excellent work.
Such detailed explanations of the science behind every step of the preparation of each dish and the visual of each pre measured ingredient make cooking fun and logical.
I clicked because I was looking for more authentic Chinese recipes, but subscribed because not only were your recipes good, they were thorough. I like how sometimes you give the history or background of a dish, and your videos are always very clear and measured so there's no confusion about when something happened. And I like that you explain why something needs to be done a certain way (I certainly would never have considered the importance of cold vs boiling water in my dough until it was too late). And I love the way you describe foods too, they make me so excited to try them!
I really enjoy when you explain why something is made a specific way. Like why hot water etc. It is so interesting.
I love how detailed and scientific your recipes and explanations were. They make me want to try making Chinese cuisine.
I subscribed because your explanations are thorough. You tell us what ingredients you're using and why, and why you use certain techniques or equipment, etc. Thorough! Very educational and inspirational and adaptable.
I was looking for fried rice recipe and loved that you gave 3 choices with different preparation times. Your instructions are very clear with good visuals
I love watching recipe videos so I can learn by watching the recipe being made. You make a great job of it.
I watch your videos because you explain why something is done in a particular way or why to use certain ingredients. It helps me to understand the dish and how the flavours and textures are formed and come together... I always learn something new or have a better understanding of a dish even if I've made it many times before, after learning your methods I have a better understanding... your teaching is a mixture of art and science...
You take the mystery out of what seems like a complex cooking style…love the recipes and cooking tips!
You are explaining all of the various ingredients that went into cooking cooking and absolutely love I absolutely love every recipe that I have tried and have tried and we have tried most of them and they are delicious Lucius I love the way you do the steps step the steps step by steps and how instructive they really are they're short sweet to the point and very enjoyable to watch
You have the best instructions! We love all of your videos.
