    I am laughing so hard about the Mythical Cookbook. It is 100% based off the interesting food made for good mythical morning. It’s what all the fans asked for. I can’t believe I never thought that someone could randomly find the cook book and not understand. If the review is from a viewer… they must not pay much attention to the show or what the intention of the book was for . 😂

      @calihhan4706 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +120

      "too technical" can also mean that the people are just not on the same cooking level and get overwhelmed by the instructions. Cooking can be very stressful for people who are not experienced.
      Also, there seems to be two types of cooks. The people who measure with their heart and just feel the cooking. And the food engineers 😂

    • @shavonwalker2550
      @shavonwalker2550 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +67

      Remember, the complaint isn't that the recipe itself is too technical. It's that Kenji has a lot of background information about each recipe. The person is saying that they just want to know how to make the food, they don't really care about the background or anything like that. Which I feel is a legit critique. I personally love knowing all of those details, but for beginners, that might be information overload.

      I have to assume that all the complainers basically don't know who Kenji is. Just watching even one or two of his videos online will explain what he's about. Even the photos, he didn't pay a photographer or stylist to take pictures, he's literally just taking pictures himself, of food that he made. And complaining about Kenji being technical is like complaining that you're wet when you decided to walk out into the rain.

    I see this with fiction book reviews too. A lot of people can't seem to distinguish between "this isn't what I expected" or "I wanted something different" with "this is actually bad", they're just hopeless. Being mad that someone like Kenji provides detailed technical explanations, or that GMM would have somewhat silly or gimmicky recipes... holy crap did they literally just type "cookbook" into the amazon search bar and buy the first result they saw? that's just user-error, there's no helping someone who completely refuses to help themselves.

    The cottage cheese and cream cheese mixture was to mimic the fresh cheese we can get here in Europe. It's similar to ricotta, except it actually tastes like something, and it's a very common ingredient in lots of dishes - sweet and savoury. Another classic filling for the crepes is the fresh cheese mixed with egg yolks and sugar.

    10:21 - in Europe, we have something that is often translated as cottage cheese but its not this. Its closer to a cream cheese type of thing. Its a fermented dairy product, and consistency ranges from quite hard and cottage cheese like (better for baking) to a very soft almost like a whipped cream consistency. We use the softer types for spreads or just to eat. Thats why european recipes dont quite translate to america 😁 also yes, we Slavs slap sour cream on everything

No one and I mean no gets mad at Joshua Weismann, golden balance etc when they make Asian or Caribbean food coz they don’t try to claim it’s their invention. They do put a twist on it and say so, but never claim other peoples food as theirs.

    I love cookbooks. I have several youtuber cookbooks and each one is pretty idiot proof. Babish's cookbook is probably the most challenging on its harder difficulty recipes but even those are very well detailed. B Dylan Hollis' and Tasting History's cookbooks can be difficult because you're cooking with unfamiliar ingredients. If someone's looking for a cookbook for people to just assemble things, there are cookbooks for that. But most youtuber cooks even on their channels are pretty detailed so I'd expect their cookbook to be similarly detailed.

      I agree that the 1 ⭐️ reviews are a bit much. Saw another video today about people having a “main character “ complex where not only are they the main character in their own lives they have to be for others too. Hence why people have to leave nasty comments on media not meant for them instead of moving on. If they can’t relate or it doesn’t align with them it’s wrong. This happens on social media so much.
      I think people have the right to give constructive comments. People can say opinions but it should be somewhat constructive or non-bias/ not personal attacks. Just to imply the cookbook sucks and doesn’t have value/ worth is subjective. It might not be for one person but it may be for another. I also feel like some of the reviews were rather ignorant based on what was written vs. What we saw/ what we may know to be accurate.

      Originally, crepes are made only with cottage cheese, but since it is harder to find fatter cottage cheese in america than it is in ukraine, the receipt calls for ricotta. Making crepes with ricotta only might be a good option for people who dislike cottage cheese. However, it wouldn't be authentic.

    "She didn't have all the italian ingredients for cacio e pepe, so she combined whatever she had", wait what? Black pepper was a hard to come by italian ingredient?

      Cacio e pepe is exclusively made with pecorino romano and freshly cracked black pepper. The garlic noodles dish seems inspired by the technique involved in the original roman dish but the ingredients are different. Absolutely no garlic or butter in cacio e pepe. It is possible that the ingredient she was missing was the pecorino romano (the star of cacio e pepe).

    "Get premade buns, toast them. Get frozen patty, heat it. Add whatever condiment and you're done".
    I would rather prefer if it tells me how to make it all from scratch, on days that i don't have the energy to bake my own bread, i ll substitute it with market bought.

    my take on some of these 1-star reviews is that these people never took a fundamental cooking class. As in what "fold in" means or the bare basics of cooking. I had the ability to learn in a home economics class what the basics of cooking are. Also, if they think these are hard and this is not meant to be mean to those 1-star reviews, the cookbooks that anti-chef covers are way up there and very difficult. But all that can be learned with practice and taking time to understand some techniques of cooking. This is meant to be more constructive to those reviews, practice makes perfect and all these youtubers are generally very high-level cooks compared to the average person.

    It is funny that I’ve owned The Wok since it came out and the only recipe I have made from it is the Vietnamese San Fransisco Garlic Noodles. It was amazing. Not hard to make and quite delicious. A hit with the family. Most of the photos are instructional and there is too much information but I don’t mind that. I pick a recipe, read all the stuff and get cooking, It is difficult to read through the whole thing, just like Food Lab book. So I do it in pieces, much easier to do.
