Gingerbread Showdown: Priya and Seth Vs. Sohla and Ham | NYT Cooking

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2020
- It’s Priya and Seth vs. Sohla and Ham in an epic, exhausting and delicious gingerbread house competition. Without spoiling anything: There will be power tools, dry ice and a whole octopus. We couldn’t think of a better way to break in the almost-finished NYT Cooking studio. (Still a work in progress, but… look at all that light!)
Clearly, they’re all going to be winners. But let us know in the comments: Which house are you going for first?

Priya and Seth are the organized and ambitious people I want to be
Sohla and Ham are the chaotic "it'll be fine" people I am
I want to be as chill and relaxed and hard working as Sohla and Ham. But I am more like Priya :D
😅
And yet Sohla’s house is the one I’d want to eat all day. 😊 No shade to Seth and Priya.
Lmao so Priya/Seth are the type A couple and Sohla/Ham are type B
True
“Do you have time to make more?”
Sohla: “yea, but I just.. don’t want to.”
Sohla is all of us.
But super talented.
Love the honesty she's built with
@@roddammit5510 loooool except for being truthful about your own failures
“We got nothing and Ham’s walking the dogs”
A king!!!
Well if it isn't my two favourite South Asian cooking queens and their somehow perfectly matched partners.
To be fair Sohla is actually a cooking queen whereas Priya is a queen of food writers.
What's Sohla's ethnicity? All this long I was assuming she is Arab lol😅
@@jumanaa According to Wikipedia, her family is Bengali
@@charlie6923 wow that's cool to know! I'm bengali as well so that makes me more happy 😁
@@jumanaa same i thought she was Egyptian because of her surname
Great move by NYT. Getting priya and sohla on board
Amen, from Seattle.
Priya has freelanced for NYT for years
Right? I hope they can carry on a bit of the BA test kitchen vibes.
@E Allison only has herself to blame for that one
@@sfowler1017 how tho? She just criticized another persons work
This feels like watching the really really clever people talk about the exam.
Surprisingly, it's an architecture class.
Yes 😭
This is the absolute best version of 'Type A' vs 'Type B' I've ever seen.
Type A people are called such because they demanded to be listed first and the Type B people were like "sure dude that's fine whatever".
Priya and Seth: we will DOMINATE
Sohla and Ham: ...meh, I'm just here for a good time?
Also if two teams are making things, and only one of the things gets eaten, the team that made that thing wins.
Both of them worked in high stress level professional kitchens. Now they're just here chilling and trying to have a good time. And whipping egg whites by hand for a meringue while there is fat in the bowl.
The difference in approach and scale between the two of them is legitimately hilarious to me
@@TalkAsSoftAsChalk or just left to cool for too long =)
Lol
I see Seth is finally “partner” instead of “roommate” 😂
I was waiting to see which she'd say after the long pause, lol
I was gonna comment the same thing 😂😂😂
They're definitely dating. Nobody stretches like that if they're not
I feel that's the South Asian conservative in her 😂
@@aaronlee6361 they've been dating for years. Seth has gone on family vactions with Priya's family and is constantly featured on Priya's IG stories "Seth Bakes". He's a cool dude.
Why does Seth feels like a quintessential New Yorker, a type A architect who bakes. Like if you have a movie set in New York, the main character would be an architect who bakes and makes a FLW gingerbread house with terrain & waterfall.
Hallmark has eyes all over this video 🤣
I don't think you've ever met anybody from NYC
So the architect in holiday movies does exist. It’s Seth.
@@timothyauld6676 I believe they are comparing Seth to Hollywood's portrayal of New Yorkers, while not saying that it is an accurate portrayal.
Is no one going to talk about how HAM LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOOT TO CHECK ON THEIR DOGS
priorities
Good dog dad
Responsible dog dad
They embody the idea stay calm and carry on to its fullest capacity
It’s now a bit. He’s done it in all three videos at this point
It's incredible watching BA being dismantled and reassembled throughout other channels, recreating the magic and leaving BA in the dust.
BA failed to realize what makes their channel interesting is the people in it. I still watch sometimes new BA contents but we know how the magic has lost since the most of them left.
I think the BA magic came from 1. The people, 2. The repartee between them, and 3. The editing/onscreen comments, which had a personality of its own and made fun of the cast. I hope the NYT ups its editing style.
@@Sbeth85 The editing is a surprisingly huge component. When the new videos started rolling out I really had no issues with all the new cooks they were bring in but the videos were fairly lifeless even when the chef had personality. That editing is huge.
@@xylo5750 Yeah but that doesn't matter. They will never be as successful because they're racist twats and there will always be people (like me) who avoid their channel purposely
I felt the same. Ny times NEW test kitchen!
project; gingerbread house
Sohla; what ever, for our seafood carcuterie board in the form of a house, we have...
Lmmmmaoooooooo omg
It was unlike any Feast of the Seven Fishes I've ever seen, and I'm on board! Sohla is special in so many ways.
I love how priya and Seth are making an actual gingerbread house and sohla and Hal are making a seafood feast. Are they even doing the same competition?? 😂😂😂
Sohla working with Andrew Rea has permanently corrupted her.
@@WashashoreProd shes been a creative chef since before BCU, remember the modern dessert carbonara?
I cant believe I just heard "I dont think I'm gonna be able to make the terrazzo" in a gingerbread house making video
NYT just happens to build a huge test kitchen after the BA fall-out. Imagine that. Great move on their part and I am loving some of the recipes they are putting out. The buttermilk turkey they did for Thanksgiving this year was phenomenal. The people I served it to usually don't even like turkey, but they liked that recipe.
And leave it to Sohla to do a savory gingerbread house. She is continually full of surprises.
I LOVE IT! BA's unbelievable screw up has been the windfall for so many and I Love it!
@N K R oh it's a very, long sad story involving racism, unequal treatment/pay, a toxic work environment, and other unsavory doings. It ended with some executives resigning in disgrace and one talented chef after another leaving or refusing to appear in any further BA videos
Great point. Smart move on their part. Nice to see some the beloved (former) BA talent too
Also, was that that Rhoda with the clapboard at the beginning?
Edit: nah, it wasn’t. My bad.
love the contrast of extremes between Priya and Seth's almost military precision and Sohla and Ham's 'let's just wing it'
The chemistry between Sohla and Ham is so unreal. Their vibe and energy made this video for me. I don't know what NYT cooking is trying to do but whatever it is these two have got to be involved.
They're married!!
Completely agree! They are such an awesome, compatible couple. Love them
project: gingerbread house
Sohla: let's start the soup
And fish and octopus, what? How is that gingerbread?
I love how Ham and Sohla accurately predicted how extra Seth's house was going to be and just decided to do whatever the hell they want it
Join us next year, when Seth and Priya attempt a gingerbread la sagrada familia, while Sohla and Ham make some bomb canapes
2022: Priya helps Seth construct a replica of Manhattan in gingerbread. Sohla and Ham decide they'd rather make chicken nuggets.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 But those chicken nuggets would be fly!
This is fabulous, but a NYT production should have captions, not auto-generated craptions. An organization this large has no excuse for dodging accessibility.
Hard agree.
Absolutely agreed!
Absolutely, especially with the masks and background noise
I was just thinking this watching the new one
seconded. am getting tired of asking on every single video and not getting anywhere. :/
the camera shots are a little too tight imo, I can't tell whats going on I need more context
Especially with the finished projects.
I totally agree, the camera shots are too tight, it makes it hard to follow what is going on.
They might have been using longer lenses because covid. The one Sohla had looked like a 50
seth seems like the perfect combination of hot and neurotic
Neur-hot-ic
@@superdude4464 I love it.
@@superdude4464 Genius.
Every successful gay man
that's the majority of people in architecture for you
If anyone ever asks me what I want in a romantic relationship, I’ll just show them this video. Sohla saying that this is what she and Ham do on the weekends made me realize what I want in life
I want to be Sohla and Ham, but I also want to be Priya and Seth. I get that that contradicts itself, but I want it.
Sohla and Ham delicately placing tiny seafood landscaping around their house is ADORABLE
The tiny mushrooms and octopus bush's were so on point for a model.
Wow Seth and Priya must like... speedrun putting together ikea furniture
They make their own furniture
@@xxiushi 🤣🤣🤣
@@xxiushi out of gingerbread
Next year: Furniture Showdown
HAHAHA YES!
why is this only 23 minutes this should be an hour long!! EXTENDED CUTTTT
YES!!! With still photographs of every single component so we can really enjoy and appreciate!!!
I need a full theatrical cut and an uncut version lmao
Agree
Why is it tiiiiimed??? As a viewer, I’d rather see his Seth’s full creation. And just in general, see chefs relaxed and enjoying their process.
@@hopegold883 well its a competition. And this is a job lol. They dont just have all day to do this. People need to go home and take a break too
Sohla and Ham are such a power couple, they’re the kind of virtuosos that undersell their absolutely INCREDIBLE creations.
NYT: Gingerbread house competition
Sohla: Savory Breadstick house competition?
Gotta love her.
The FLAVORS Sohla and Ham brought!
Ingenious and inventive to say the least.
LITERALLY!!!!
I really wanted to taste it 😍
This would be an AMAZING and expensive ( bc of the labor etc) centerpiece for a NYE party or the like !
I never would have expected a seafood house to be as good as this one seems.
I know Sohla can cook (understatement of the year) but I feel like I saw her true potential and range of food in this video. That seafood house is spectacular and so creative. And her hubs, Ham, is awesome. You can tell he’s a professional because he’s cleaning up as he goes (true mark of a cook)
I remember how impressed I was when she deconstructed the carbonara way back in BA.
@@jerryjaena8513 I started that video, but never finished it and I don't want to give BA my views. I hope she recreates it, because the concept of making a savory, traditional pasta dish a dessert is next level.
Dont quote me on this but this might be her...brother? I thought her husband was white/Australian?
@@aleks-33 No, her husband is not white
@@aleks-33 No, Ham is her husband. They met at culinary school
I love how in a room with three culinary professionals it's the home cook who's considered the man to beat.
So true! 😆
Dear NYT cooking,
Release a B roll of this which is also 25 mins long.
Sincerely,
A new subscriber 👀
This is positively the best Christmas present NYT could ever give us!!!!!!! Priya+Sohla!!!
vegan_millennial agreed

Damn Seth!! I’m really impressed - he made a full model of what the house would be and base wth?? And the number of parts with labels - holy the complexity
architect gonna architect
Imagine if this was how he prepared his everyday dinners.
Studied architecture and had flashbacks to thesis. This made me anxious and happy all at the same time. Haha.
LOVE BOTH TEAMS; LOVE EACH OF THEM; LOVE THIS EPISODE. Would have LOVED way more time to view their process and individual houses without the bouncing around camera work. Give us time to focus, take in the amazing work and creativity. We need to have time to savor the experience. We all have the attention span to do this. Trust us.
Agreed this was awesome but I would have loved to see more of the process.
I would have loved a bit more of a zoom in of the houses at the end excpecially
you said it perfectly!
yes!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t agree more
Sohla made a "gingerbread" house and priya made a gingerbread "house"
"This is why all architects needs engineers" - my engineering friend 🤣
Wish Seth had time to fully realize his dream gingerbread house. I'm sure it's chewing him up inside the windows are missing!
AND we want to see it! Why set a time limit? What they all did was amazing and should be given enough time to complete!
@@DeliaLee8 they could’ve followed in on seth’s idea and extend the time to make it seem like the model. It was so good already but needed more work for sure to look like the final version,
Seth's Vision was so Ambitious and exhasuting
As an architecture student, i can recognize the PTSD face Seth made when it all ended.
I feel pretty bad for him, he obviously put in a lot of effort and the fact he couldn't finish it makes me sad.
As we said in architecture school "a project isn't done, it's just due"
the "well i guess it is what it is" face
i don’t typically make comments but i know that they add towards decision making for future videos: i hope they all can work like this again soon! their dynamics worked really well and i was smiling the whole time
Sohla’s tarter sauce story!!! I’m just imagining a cute little Bengali auntie buying tarter sauce instead of cream of tarter. 😭😭😭😭
I love Sohla and Ham immediately both coming in with the classic Sohla "It's gonna be fine"
The two of them together bring the perfect energy everyone needs.
i'm sorry, but did the man bring out a dremel to construct his gingerbread house? next. level.
he seriously needs a show of his own where he recreates his favorite architectural works in food form
@@XingAoShen OMG! That would be the best ever!
@@XingAoShen I'd watch that
Claire Saffitz is quaking
im crying at the contrast between sohla/ham and priya/seth lmaoooooo "Do you have enough time to make more dough?" "Yeah.... I just don't really waaant to :/"
Okay sooo.... I'm gonna need an El-Waylly cooking show because Holay Wha, that is some chaotic calm I didn't know I needed.
IKR?! I freaking love their energy together, it's so wholesome and creative and you just know if they had a cooking show it would be hilarious fun and full of mind-blowingly amazing food.
Stump sohla on the babish culinary universe
@@caithemburrow5569 I meant them as a duo. I love Stump Sohla.
I love this video for many reasons (Priya, Sohla AND their equally talented
s/o’s ?) but please consider adding captions to this video. The masks although great, make it difficult for the hearing impaired to watch! Just a suggestion :-)
Also good reading practice for those of us who arent native english speakers
Yes! I am glad they were wearing masks, but that also makes it much harder to tell what they're saying. A big organization like the NYT should also be able to easily provide captioning.
Commenting to push this up
Sigh, youtube shouldve let us keep the option of submitting captions
Yes, please NYT
Sohla and Ham prepared a feast AND still had time to walk the dogs and do camera work 😭💕
Throughout all the video I was like: "Yup, that's the architect in him." "That's normal." Man, i love they combined baking and architecture. Plus, I've always loved that house and yes, it's an contructor's nightmare but an architect's ambitious dream.
*montage of Priya trying to figure out Seth’s complicated design*
Ham: I-I really liked playing with legos
omg Did Seth really drafted the gingerbread house in cad? Hilarious! I can't believe there's like a complete construction drawing for it and it's scaled too😭😭
I need an extended version of this that is 3 hours long
If they turned this video into a 10-part series, I bet so many people would watch it
8:09 omg that look Seth gives Priya: "Stop being nice to them Priya, we are here to cRUSH THEM."
I love how both couples found their perfect match. That gives me joy.
That was AMAZING, by both couples in drastically different ways. My face hurts from smiling and laughing for 23 minutes!
EXACTLY!!!!
I have watched this video at least 5 times already 😂 I’m so glad it got on trending for a bit! Well deserved
Sohla: “We are ridiculous humans”. Yes, but how we love you Sohla (and Priya, Ham and Seth)!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As an architecture student, I greatly appreciated the model created by Seth and Priya. The thing that got me was their use of the modeling program Rhino. I did the same thing for designing my gingerbread house this year and thought I was the only one who was crazy enough to 3D model the house before constructing it.
I think it's prolly at least crossed the minds of all architects/archi students who are making gingerbread houses. I used sketchup 😅
I love how Sohla and Ham made stuff they can snack on along the way while building it
Ham El-Waylly: Culinary Wizard. Props to whoever came up with this.
“We were craving fish”
so you brought the whole damn ocean?
i wish i was their neighbor so i could maybe be able to witness their weekly feasts
I love that Priya calls Seth her "Partner" now and not just her roommate!
I usually hate when people say "It's too pretty, I can't eat it!", but they made a gingerbread Frank Lloyd Wright and a seafood feast, I would actually feel bad taking those apart
NYT, you know what the people want. Never clicked a recommendation faster in my life lmao
Saw Sohla and Priya. Clicked automatically.
facts. the internet needs more of them. the world does lol
I really love having Seth and Ham actively involved in this video. Neither of them would have expected to be featured in a NYT video, but here we are
Seth and Priya's work felt too expensive to watch for free lol, and Sohla and Ham's innovation was insane!!
Me in project planning: Seth and Priya
Me in project implementation: Sohla and Ham
Sohla and Ham kick ass when they are in a kitchen, and seeing them work as a pair was truly inspiring
WAIT A MINUTE.....did Priya and Seth just make an edible replica of Falling Waters?? This is so insane! Also, now I really want some caviar.
Oh good. I am not an architecture guy but was all "Isn't that a replica of a really famous house by Frank Whatshisname?"
the dry ice being used as the waterfall blew my mind
This is the most crazy comment I would never believe if I hadn't just seen the video.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I was shocked. I had to do a quick google search to make sure I hadn't made this up in my head.
@@BanyanTree1 Right!!!! LOL
Adam Rapaport: “both teams were amazing. However Sola and Seth were better than Pryia and Ham”
I see what you did there 😂
"I need more time" said every architect ever.
And then they get angry at contractors who say the same. Meanwhile the owner...
Thank you NYT for giving these amazing people a platform to be free and show off their collective creative genius.
Priya and Seth are so type A and Sohla and Ham are so chill 😂😂😂 I love them
Sohla: Hey, wanna do a gingerbread house competition with our partners?
Priya: Yeah! How extra should we be?
Sohla: Yes!
Seth is literally the antithesis of Sohla's "It'll be fine" baking style. I'm all for it.
Why the hell did Seth never tell everyone that they are making a gingerbread replica of FALLING WATER BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
I mean damn. Bravo. I want to see the windows and the terrazzo though. Next weekend?
Oh please make these two couples a regular series! This is AMAZING 😍
love everything about this, especially sohla's consistency in being the most chaotic and chill person in the kitchen
I could watch this ten times. Can’t wait to show my daughter! She’s eight and we loved all the BA stuff. Can’t support them anymore, and am so glad to show my daughter something we CAN support!
It’s especially nice for her to see great relationships working as teams in healthy ways! Her faves from BA were always Priya and Sohla, so this is perfect!
The colors and all the bits and bobs of Sohlas and Hams house just work so well together and I love that you can eat all of it so well
"New York Times cooking studio" I thought I heard that wrong at first. I wish them all bon appetit
How everyone was so careful not to say, "... test kitchen" 🤣
The clapback we’re all thinking
Sohla is so fucking talented.... one day she’ll get a Michelin star 🥺
I love how before even starting, sohla and ham decided this wouldn’t be a competition but just a way to complement Priya and Seth the best way they could haha
I'd love for this to become a regular series! I love Priya and Sohla and follow Priya's insta for Seth's baking escapades. This seems like SUCH a good format for more content from great chefs with such fun friendly energy.
We need to make this a thing please. More of Priya/Seth vs Sohla/Ham. This is the series we never knew we needed!
I just watched someone hoover a gingerbread house my life is now complete.
LOVE that the El-Walilly's went for a savory house! Sweets get overwhelming during the holidays, but I would eat the hell out of that house. And the little mushroom garnishes and roe ornaments... PRECIOUS!
Just the other day I was thinking, “oh I wish we could see more of Ham!” and lo and behold...
I gave “like” when Priya was doing the Bake Off voice 🤣
Didn’t really see enough of the final products, both up-close and big picture.
More Sohla and Ham content please! I've said it once and I'll say it again, if they started their own streaming site I would literally pay them $20 a month just for Sohla and Ham content.
The video we didn't know we wanted but the one we needed
NYT... Please add captions! I want to enjoy this video so badly but I can barely understand what everyone is saying 🥺🥺🥺
I 2nd this request. For different reasons, but @NYT please add captions to your videos to increase their accessibility.
Can we get a regular series of Sohla and Ham being Extra A.F.?
"its like [seth's] entire life has led up to this moment, and we dont wanna ruin it" - sohla, ham
“Can we also save some for eating?” Is basically my life’s motto
Yessssss Priya and Sohla plus their partners!! Love to see them together
I am a female chef and honestly the relationship Sohla has with Ham is the type of relationship i want! ❤️❤️❤️
Seth is literally a handsome architectect who bakes? Damn, Priya. You're living the Hallmark dream.
