@Dawn.Friesen Жыл бұрын

I like the focus on minimizing waste across a grocery shop, but feel like this challenge needs to overlap a bit more gracefully with the staples cupboard concept to make it really work for home cooking. That extra onion could have been thrown into the freezer for a future meal instead of being forced into the final salad (ditto for any extra chicken stock), and the first dish could have used a staple starch like orzo or flat egg noodles to help bulk it out. Plus, just imagine the drama of Future!Mike suddenly sprinting off to the freezer mid-challenge and coming back with a key ingredient that everyone else forgot he froze several videos earlier!

@harvestmoon_autumnsky Жыл бұрын

I was thinking it seems like he got a lot of food for 30 US dollars. Things are so expensive now. But...really...the chicken here would be 12 dollars for a pack that size. Fresh veggies/herbs cost almost nothing. Maybe 8 dollars for all of that spinach, herbs, beans, broccoli, onion. Tortillas are around 6 dollars. Mustard though four dollars easy. Cream cheese is insane these days at least 4 dollars. The cheese would be pricy at least 6 dollars. The bacon here would be six at least if not more. Yeah....he definitely couldn't have bought all of that for 30 dollars here in San Francisco. But close. Maybe 40 dollars. And that's three meals for 2 people. Hmmm, but i have a family of four. So that's 80 for my kids and its three meals. Not including breakfast, lunch. Sigh.

Mike was a beast in this episode. Cool and collected through the entire thing. His food looks fantastic and if he had a bigger budget for the parmesan (which let's be honest you get that and you don't use it up in 3 days you buy enough for a week or two) the quesadillas would have been stunning. Personally I would have cubed the potatoes so that they cook faster and would have seasoned them with salt and pepper. Classic breakfast potatoes but it would have cut through the sharpness of the onion in the salad

@burmanphd Жыл бұрын

A trick for quesadillas: fill them only halfway, then fold the tortilla over. That makes it easier to flip. And easier to cut. It also gives each piece a solid edge, so they're easier to eat.

I just want to say well done Mike, anyone who home cooks and tries to take down food waste is a legend. I do most the cooking in a home of 2 in the week, 3 at the weekend and my wife is vegan... Imagine me as a meat lover trying to solve that in the super market! I know we (the public) or caught up in 15 minute / 30 minute meal and it's great. For me, cooking confident, happy, and (sometimes) smart is the goal. I like to set myself a buffer of a few minutes, but within reason and I work to get it down each time. Ending 5 mins late but happy stress free is worth the time. Great to watch as always Sorted Food!

I know people before me have said it, but I appreciate that y’all truly think like actual humans who have to grocery shop. If you buy something, you tell the price of the whole thing, not whatever percentage of it you used that time. You look for creative ways to use an ingredient three or four different times to make the most out of something instead of using it for one recipe with a vague “and you can do something with what’s left.” I actually feel like y’all get it in a way a lot of other KZfaq chefs don’t.
