use about half these techniques. the other half i never would have thought of and look forward to implementing. thanks for this.
Watching this feels like the scene in Forrest Gump where Bubba describes all the ways you can cook shrimp
I swear Ali slowly gets more unhinged as the video goes on. “It’ll look like drugs, but it’ll taste like a garden. 🙂”
We need more of this guy 😂😂😂 Love his creativity and his explanations!
Say 'umami' again.
I seriously think savoriness and umami are the same thing. In Japanese (apparently) umami means: "delicious savory taste." ?
Aren't the stem and leaf poisonous?
Excellent video. I can see myself referencing it in the future.
WOW! Amazing. Should have probably been like 4 episodes actually to reveal, experiment, and understand each concept more fully and deeper. I feel like I'm missing so much due to the abbreviated bam and next, bam and next, bam and next.
This is crazy! We need more of these! Core ingredient, like an egg, cucumber, whatever, really and showing the million faces and uses. Great clip!
Very professional and educational. Want to see more of this guy!!
More Chef Bouzari, please! Very fun, educational, & inspiring, thank you.
PS also loved the mild 'jammy egg' diss, which I say as someone who LOVES jammy eggs, but eye rolls all the trendy recipe titles/menu descriptions….
Bro has a PhD in Tomato
Calling things "nutty" is the "tastes like chicken" of the 2020s. I did like the idea of infusing tomatoes into oil though.
Love the mini grill too!
I love tomatoes …but this guy is in a healthy loving relationship with them…tomatophila!!! Love how versatile you can use them!
Acidic tomatoes in a cast iron skillet? Brave!
If tomatoes act as emulsifier does it mean we can melt cheese beautifully in tomato sauce? 🤔
This guy is amazing!
This was really informative, thank You.
This is one of the most educational food videos I've ever seen. Ali taught me so much in such a short period of time. Thanks!
Best video i've seen on this channel so far. mostly slop for ipad babies but this is fantastic information
This was really fascinating and interesting!
