- Ah the 90's that was only 20 Years ago right.... right?! In this episode of retro recipes Phoebe and I look at the potential bland titled 'vegetarian microwave' cookbook which was made in the 90's and contains some absolutely horrendous images of recipes.... however, with the power of the microwave can we make it work and ultimately ... do they taste good? Phoebe has picked out a desser and main course to attempt, lets go!

So nice to have Phoebe in the kitchen helping out! I only get the girls to appear if they want to and these actually turned out not too bad on the whole!
Whenever anyone is in the kitchen with you, a fire extinguisher is a necessity. I've been watching you either burn yourself or trying to burn your house down for nearly a decade now 🤣
Such quality time for both of you and beautiful memories ❣️
Great video. Great family you have mate. You're blessed and thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. Best feel good channel out there. 👍👍
“And these actually turned out not too bad on the whole!”
My children - not too bad
(There’s a ruder joke in that comment too, but I think your wife will hunt me down and slap me. I think she’ll slap you if you laugh at it)
you might not have been around in Egyptian times, but Phoebe's mummy was. lol
As the aunt of a rather independent 13 year old, I find it heartwarming that Phoebe isn’t “too cool” to hang out and cook with Dad. 😊 Such a sweet, beautiful girl.
That is almost exactly what I just got done saying to my wife as the parents of 3 teenagers
The 90s was only 10 years ago and I will hear no argument against it!
Definitely!
100% True noboby can change that
Agreed!
@@TheCotzi yesterday even when I was spazzing out to Underworld,Left field,Orbital,Prodigy and drum and bass etc. I don't think the snowflakes would accept spaz nowadays but I was born in the '70s. I don't even know if WOKE is a noun or stands for something?🇬🇧
I feel like the old lady in the town centre your mum knows when they go “ooo look at you haven’t you grown! All grown up now!” When i saw phoebe 🤣 i’m old now 🤦🏼♂️
Lol it's all good I feel the same!
Same I started to watch this man in 10th grade and his kid makes me feel old
My God I nearly didn't recognize phoebe she's growing up so fast.
If she ever asks to bring a partner home to meet Mum & Dad, that will be the video lol
@@mrbarrylewis you should remake the pineapple upside down cake but compare the oven version to the microwave version :)
I agree, and vegetarian too. I found her poised and endearing, all the best!
@@mrbarrylewis I know it's a small thing but I love the fact that you say "partner", instead of making assumptions for her. That's some quality parenting Barry. Nice work 👌
Phoebe is the spit of Mum.
Oh my... Phoebe's "Oh my goodness" is Identical to Mrs. Barry's lol
i was thinking that too she's so like her
And the eye Phoebe drew is amazing. She is so talented.
It's insane, she may start an art channel
@@mrbarrylewisIll be one of her 1st subs for sure just let us know😊❤
Yayyy!! Welcome back Phoebe!!!! She really is so much like Becky. I'm glad to see she's well :) I really understand her desire to draw eyes. Eyes are my favourite things to draw. Though she is better than I am despite me having been drawing for 20 years 😅 you'll have to let us know if she sets up a shop to sell her artwork :)
Yeah I will do, thanks she is keen to
That's pretty interesting. Phoebe's more like her mum, while Chloe's more like her old man.
@@GmodPlusWoW yes I find that to. But they both look like there dad to me...
@@goessiee Phoebe gave Barry a couple of looks today that made her look just like Becky, to me.
@@goessiee I see becky in some of her expressions. But I see Barry in both of them so strongly. Like they're both the spit of their dad.
As someone who doesn't have the best relationship with my dad, i'm so happy to see you and Phoebe getting on so well and spending time with each other. She'll always remember times like these.
Phoebe sound SO much like your wife - it’s so sweet! This was good fun!
I AM feeling so old as I can still remember Phoebe as a preschooler, when you'd both dressed up for your vids 🤣
She is Becky's double, in looks, personality & mannerisms!
Yeah, my Mum bought that book for me donkeys years ago.....some of the recipes were a bit meh 😉
I've had this book for years as I brought it in the 90's. It's underrated but, ironically, more in vogue now. Some good recipes tho.
I can't believe Phoebe is almost 14! She is growing up to be such a lovely young lady. You guys are so lucky.
This video was great. I am a child of the 90's and I recently found a cook book just like this but from the late 70's early 80's when the Microwave was very brand new. What a time to be alive.
Phoebe is so grown up now! I remember watching when she was 4!😭
Her art work is absolutely amazing!! She really is a mini Becky too!!
How lovely to see Miss Phoebe in the kitchen!
I remember the ‘90’s microwave cookbooks. I do not recall ever reading “set the house on fire by putting a metal loaf pan edged by aluminum foil in the microwave “
Thanks Barry & Phoebe!
@2:20 - NEVER trust the cookbook when it comes to microwave cooking unless you know the power/wattage the recipes were made for, the wattage of your microwave, and the proper timing changes to account for the differences. :)
OMG ... your kids are just growing up to fast, i remember binge watching you 4 to 5 years ago when you were under 100k subs and its just so crazy to see where you have come ... proud of you Barry your passion really shows.
Cant wait till you hit one million
so mad to see how much she is like her mum, she's grown so much i feel old now haha i Remember her being so young in your vids aaa
Okay that's it, you HAVE to do more out of that book, this is super fun to watch!
The great return of Phoebe!!!!!! OH I'd love a vegetarian playlist with old and new recipes! Maybe ever her own! Love me some Phoebe content!
...I love your whole family
OMG, I still have this cook book. You HAVE to try the Chedder Cheese Soup. It's mind blowing if you use a good mix of cheeses. 🤯
Wow Phoebe looks and sounds so much like Mrs B and so grown up now!! Nice to see her back in the kitchen. And her art is top notch too! Cheers. John.
Phoebe looks and sounds so much like her mom its crazy, wish I had this sort of relationship with my dad but he was never very attentive or wanted to do anything with me when I grew up. It's so cute seeing you two cook together and watching her grow up over the years of me watching your channel!
Your cobbler looks a lot more appetising than the cook book version. Well done guys!
Have heard of Phoebe, but it was wonderful seeing her cooking with Dad, love whenever you have the family on with you!!
I had zero concept of how long I've actually been watching your channel until I saw how much Phoebe's grown up... Then I look at old videos I recognize and realize they're 7 and 8 years old. Time flies!
I just realized that the first video I ever saw of you had Phoebe in it and she couldn't even see over the counter and now she is such a charming and talented young adult. You and the Mrs are amazing parents and your whole family is a treasure. Thank you for so many years of laughter and joy.
You miht want to add some chopped fresh herbs to those cobblers for taste as well as looks. Loved this & would love to see a cook book series!
Would love this to be a regular segment Barry. Retro cookbooks that use niche ways to make them are a goldmine.
I'm genuinely super impressed with Phoebe's art! Honestly I'm a 3rd year BA Fine Art student (almost 27) and my drawing is still at a 10 year old level 😂 We all have our areas eh 😅😉 Brilliant video folks, your food looks so much nicer than in the book 😂 I would try both, though maybe I've lowered my standards A LOT from being a student (nothing against your cooking Barry & Phoebe). I suppose the bran things are like cheesy biscuity mashy stuff?
bran is normally given for constipation or used to be its like super fibre.
So much fun to see you two in the kitchen! Phoebe all grown up and teenager! Her reactions to your food puns are hilarious! Glad the gobbler and the cake did taste good!
Dang, how long have I been watching? Very cool and sweet to see you with Pheebs in the kitchen again. Watch out, the teenage years have just begun.
So much bran in 90s recipes! Haha I did so much microwave cooking after school in the 90s. My cookbooks are long gone but I may have to see about finding a few old ones and taking a trip down memory lane after watching this! Would love to see an old cookbook recipe series added into the mix. Hope you all are well.
Thanks again "Mister Barry". My two girls are growing up alongside yours and we watch all of your episodes. Long time fans. Cheers from New Zealand :)
Phoebe: Thank you for letting us see your drawing. Absolutely beautiful! You truly have an eye for detail and patience.
PS. I recommend you look up Jazza here on YT. He does so many fun art projects that are very inspiring.
Barry: Thank you for this video. I remember doing a lot of microwave baking 1980-85. We were the first ones among our friends and relatives to get a microwave (my dad's company sold them to restaurants/hotels, etc.). I remember how amazed we all were. And I never forget the stench when my dad cooked a whole egg and it exploded.
Omg Phoebe is so grown! And I love that she hasn't outgrown hanging out with dad, this video made me so happy. I've been watching since the girls were tiny tiny. So crazy
I'd love to see more retro cookbook recipe videos! These two definitely surprised me.
Wow, I'm blown away by how old Phoebe looks and yes her artistic skills are amazing.
Can we just appreciate how much like Mrs Barry Phoebe is. All her mannerisms and calm nature. 😌 What a sweetheart. Loved this video so heartwarming ❤️
Phoebe you are so confident in front of the camera. Brilliant love the family vids I have watched them all grow up. How good is the internet. It should bring us all together and sometimes if you ignore the dark side of the internet it does.
I think this should be a series!! It was awesome. Gives me ideas for my dinner.
Listening to this on headphones while making my lunch it struck me how much she sounds like her mother at times. Nice video you two.
I think these thousands of videos where Barry gets burnt without fail have paid off, you pulled out a bowl that's been microwaving for a minute without getting hurt!
It was nice to see Pheobe, great video today, old cook books have some crazy stuff in them!
Oh my gosh its been a while since I've had time to visit this channel and I'm absolutely shaken at how much Phoebe has grown!! Amazing ♡
Feels like all of us have got to watch Phoebe, Chloe, the channel (and even the dogs) grow up. Can’t believe it’s been so long since the MVK days already
I GOT HER IN ONE MINUTE OF POSTING! MUCH LOVE FROM CANADA
good work!
This is so wholesome! Can’t believe phoebe is growing up so fast still remember how little she was when I started watching time flies!!!!
First, when did Phoebe grow up?! Holy moley what a beautiful young lady (& amazing artist) you have 😍🥰 Secondly, these were quite nifty recipes… would love to see you & Phoebe tackle more in the near future ❤️❤️❤️
So great to see you again Phoebe. You are glowing. And wow, your drawings are insane.
Ohhh the memories of a newly acquired microwave and the 'experiments' . Okay... so who did the melted butter??? Or the egg in the shell that blew up and caused the worst mess EVER!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Thanx Bazza and great artwork Phoebe 👍👏👏😚
My grandma has an old St Michael's microwave cookbook. There are some awful things in there but also the best soup ever.
She also used to make a golden syrup upsidedown cake in about 3 mins in the microwave and it was incredible.
Microwave cakes go so well with custard , we do them with all kinds of jam on the bottom - great for a quick desert :)
Phoebe is so talented! Love seeing your family grow up. How about making an updated Barryized version of the cobbler in the future?
Awesome Barry Lewis Great to see phoebe
Just a totally lovely family !! It's so refreshing these days to see the family unit together and enjoying each other. Phoebe is quite the artist, hopefully we can see more of her works. I think that second recipe would be more appealing if they either crumbled the topping or cut it into shapes so they didn't look so much like dead burgers....😁
Quality video. Actually fancy that cake. Great to see how good your relationship is with your daughter too 👏🏼
I’ve been watching for a while but haven’t seen one of your videos in months and just have to say Phoebe is growing up so lovely :)
What fun. Thank you Phoebe for cooking with your dad and sharing those vegetarian recipes.
Crazy cookbook time sounds like a great idea Barry 🌟
More recipes with Phoebe and Chloe please, they are so funny with their expressions and they say what they really think about the food. 🌟
I love how Phoebe is 100% her mom, and Chloe is 100% her dad!
Your lovely girls are fantastic. Love watching the older ones too. It's stonking that you have encouraged them both at an early age to get coooooking! Briliant keep up the good work!
Wow, I thought it was a collab with someone I didn't recognize when I saw the thumbnail, Phoebe grew a lot. Very interesting video!
My parents has a cookbook from the late 80's with lots of microwave oven recipes. Suprisingly a recipe for chocolate cake in it makes a very tasty cake.
Oh jeez Phoebe is amazing! I’m so glad she’s willing to show up on camera, I remember being 14 and I had zero confidence. She truly is a gem 💎 so talented too!
Hi I think my favourite feature is cheap vs steep but I really enjoyed this today and I thought that Phoebe did really well and it was nice to see you both making making the microwave food together. I don't know much about whether teenage children would like to cook with their parents I've never been apparent and I'm probably the most unqualified person to ask but I think it's really nice that Phoebe helps you hear and gave her thoughts on the food so a big thumbs up to you Phoebe and also to Barry Lewis I have a few ideas and I'm not quite sure where to send my ideas as I'm quite new to social media in general only had my own Instagram account about 14 months anyway yes looking forward to some more cheap vs steep but I really enjoyed watching this today personally have never had a microwave. 🙂
I can't believe how grown up and pretty Phoebe as become also Chloe is the Sassiest Cutest Little Kid EVER (Just like her Dad, Same personality), It seems like not long ago since I first saw this Channel (Which was about a decade ago) this is one of my top favourite channels to watch on TH-cam, Keep up those Awesome Videos Comming 🐶🐕
I remember getting gifted this cook book from some friends having a bit of a laugh when i first started catering college in 2014 😂 interesting book 🤔 but your cake looked good! 😊
She is so much like Mrs. B now it’s crazy. And want talent for drawing as well. Love your videos. Please don’t ever stop!
Love seeing Phoebe !!!
I remember when your daughter can barely reach the countertop.
Man i am old
Loved the video as always ❤❤
"looks so bad but is actually alright" that sounds like the 90s summed up in a sentence. LOL.
When you told her the cake had to go in the microwave, too... that "oh" she made was like, hm, maybe this was not the best recipe to try, lol.
I know I said it in another video, but wow, has she grown up. Like, she was so young the last time I remember her being in a video a lot. I'm not even her parent and I feel old, lol.
My god has this made me realise I’ve been a fan for a long time, atleast 7 years now. Time flies by so quickly.
The eye rolls from your kid with the dad joke, is so funny! 😂👏🏻
Loved seeing Phoebe in a video 😄 you two make a great team
Your mate Tom Scott had a great video about the invention of the microwave and actually interviews the guy. Fascinating
great to see pheebs! the bran burger one was actually a great pick i was so excited to see how it turned out haha
Oh my gosh, I don’t watch this channel for a few months and Phoebe turns into a teenager!!! What a beautiful young lady and well spoken.
In the 1970s, I worked for an appliance distributor that sold some of the first consumer microwave ovens. I still have two microwave cookbooks from the 70s; they seem to have fairly normal dishes, but I have to admit that I've tried very few of the recipes.
Great to see Phoebe again! 😄
That's a fab drawing, she's obviously done a lot of practice to get to that point. I hope she keeps up the art, it's a great skill to develop.
My grandfather was a cobbler, he mended boots.
This is a very wholesome video. Aside from maybe 50% of Barry's jokes, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Dad jokes 4 life etc lol
Omg I remember watching you back in like 2013/14 and I’m 19 now! She’s so talented! I’m in art college now and she is a natural!
thank you barry for making me feel old!!! lmao, I just realized I'm already in my late 20s and I found you guys back when I was 19 lol
Awesome artwork Phoebe!
The cobbler looks like what I imagine prison food looks like!!! Maybe cook the pastry in the oven!?! Well done Phoebe! Xxxx loving your collaboration with your dad xxxx
Omg phoebe is so talented! That eye drawing is gorgeous 😍
To add some color to the veggie dish I would think after mixing and when Rolling out the dough you could press in more shredded cheese on top - something with a brighter color maybe .. and sprinkle herbs on top - press in with rolling pin then cut and place on dish
Phoebe is the image of her mum, she even speaks like her and has her mannerisms! What an artistic talent she has! Such a lovely girl! I agree with her . . . you can never have too much cheese! TFS and have a nice evening. 👍💖
Omg lol the 90s was crazy man! I love it!
Hi Barry, I was interested to see these work! I would be curious to see how you would modernise some of these recipes given how veggie-friendly the supermarkets are these days. Perhaps an idea for a video if you're ever lacking - bringing these 20+ year old recipes up to date!
Aww it’s really nice to see Phoebe. It’s been a minute.
Making a video with his daughter makes him make sooo many more dad jokes😂🙃
Basically every day they are used to it lol
It is the natural order of things.
I had that book. I was a student. I don't know what happened to it. You both did far better than I did.
Foil in the microwave isn't actually the problem it's made out to be, *so long as it's kept smooth* (I have a microwave cookbook which recommends cooking poultry legs with foil wrapped around the bone end to prevent that overcooking). If it's all crumpled up with sharp corners is when you get fireworks.
I do hope more people know the "don't put metal into the microwave" dogma is nothing more than a myth. Think about its metal inner walls.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. ❤️🤤☺️
more barry and phoebe 90s retro recipes
loved this pats.
You can microwave tin foil or aluminium foil covering your food as long as you keep it about 3 inches away from the metal walls and keep its edges rounded, but not a metal dish :)
Great video, Barry!!
