Ryan's laugh when the leaf landed is so wholesome lol

It's funny when you are stuck watching commercials of modern day luxuries just before you watch Townsends.

ryans laugh at the leaf falling at THE perfect moment was super charming. y'all all seem to love what y'all are doing. look forward to the next wonderful video!

Anyone else wanna see the crew cook up an 18th-Century pizza in that oven?

In El Salvador my relatives still use this type of oven for baked goods. It’s very cool to see

Jon said that Ivy was working on socializing the chickens… Good work Ivy! I loved that part. 🥰 🐓

He doesn't just play a role- he lives and practices it! Excellent vid.

I just love Ryan's laugh. First then leaf then the chicken. 🤣 Not only does he bring some unique recipes to the channel but he has a great sense of humor. One thing I would like to add about leaving the bones in is you are getting that extra nutrition. There are a lot of nutrients in the bones that come out in the juices. There is a reason bone broth is making a comeback. 😉

You can tell Ryan is such a nice guy and I really like when he does video's. All the video's presenters are like your best friends.

we need more videos with ryan, really enjoy the way he explains things

Milk Street had a recent episode that showed a communal bread baking oven in Morocco. Incredible to see that old fashioned technology still used in the modern era!

Finally, a chef I can trust

The leaf falling on the pie was just perfection!

That falling leaf 🍁 on the chicken pie was indeed a good sign that it’s a great savory pie for the season 😄 And the little hen knew it too!

This was so relaxing. I like that Ryan is encouraging about us working with pie crusts. I also like that you kept the leaf laugh and the chicken outtake at the end. You rock!

I'm convinced that the origin of the word "umami" was someone tasting some food and saying, "Oooooh mommy, this tastes good!"

Now I want chicken pot pie!

I'm glad you left in the leaf and the Chicken. Delightful. :)

Oh my gosh, the leaf and the chicken had me rolling! All that aside, this looked delicious!! Love watching Ryan cook - you can see and hear the passion he has for it!!

Always enjoy these earthen oven videos - very interesting and the pie looks excellent

This was a fantastic video. I want one of those ovens outside my place. Thank you Ryan for alleviating my issues with making pie crust, you sounded like a friend. This was one of my favorite vids on the channel thank you again!

Ryan video? Instant watch

Ryan always does an amazing job. That chicken pie looked so good!

I usually hate cooking shows but your channel has always been enjoyable to view the cooking episodes of. A lot of them remind me of food the older people used to make in Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick; before McDonalds sort of thing took over. These older dishes have a lot more flavours to them. You've got me remembering those foods and wanting to try some of your recipes on here.

Other's talking about communal ovens reminded me of something my grandfather told me. Back when he was a kid in the 20s (He was born 1917) the local baker would have his oven going almost all week long making breads and pies. Back in those days none of the shops were open on Sunday so Saturday night when the baker's oven was shut off and allowed to cool down, people all over the neighborhoods would bring their bean pots full of beans and give them to the baker to put in his oven. Early the next day people came to pick up their bean pots and they would have beans with their Sunday dinners. The beans had simmered all night long in the residual heat of the oven. That last amount of heat was not wasted and fed many people. This was in Woonsocket R.I. in the French area of town.

This was good with the leaves 🍃 plus the chicken was the star.

My favorite part of this was the leaf falling, and the chicken jumping up on the table. The chicken took me back about 20 years, to a little restaurant in Mexico, where I had the same thing happen. 😅

Great video!! Video bombed by a leaf AND a chicken. Couldn't get more 18th century!

"It is delicious, but there is something missing.... something to give it a nice, oaky Earthy flavor..." *oak leaf falls into pie* "Thank you, Lord!" 🤣

I wish I could like this twice. Great video

watching this while im eating my dollar store chicken pot pie.

That chicken at the end wants to know what you did with her people. 😂 The laughter was infectious! I moved south because winters made my depression worse, but I *really* miss autumn!

A very satisfying looking dish for the autumn season. That pie does look good. I like how that oven turned out. This channel is awesome. Cheers!

When I was a kid, everyone was always telling me to shove it in my pie-hole. Now I finally understand they were giving me helpful recipe tips. Thanks, Townsends!

The chicken came in for revenge for her kin! Great video. Thanks for sharing this with us.

EXCELLENT presentation and speaking. Clear, concise, confident.

Beautiful mouthwatering video! (But the outtake with the chicken was also hilarious)

As I am writing this, I am feeling a bit under the weather. This video is so wholesome it actually made me perk up, just watching you cook. Thank you so much!

I'd love to build an earthen oven. If I ever manage to buy a house with a decent yard that will definitely be one of the first projects.

love that Ryan's starting to find his style, great video

This stove reminds me of my the oven at my grandparents house.....I can smell the chicken through the video!

Great, genuine video. Love the bloopers.

Looking forward to more autumn themed videos

I like the 3-2-1 method of pie crust. Ratios are better than amounts when baking! Love the leaf!

LOL Chicken is like: "Is that my sister? What have you done?" Love the laughter.

The leaf falling right on his precious pie at the perfect time of reviewing and enjoying it is priceless xDD I love your laugh and your cooking, please keep it up! much love

I love Ryan's videos he has such a wonderful camera presence

I love John Townsend, but my friend, you are an extraordinary teacher. I can’t pick a favorite.

Something about a large, bespectacled man teaching you to cook is really, REALLY cool. Thanks!

Chicken saying, "I'm gonna get me some o' dat there pie... wait a minute... George?!!!"

Love these Ryan cooking episodes

Thank you for explaining the steps. I rewatched all the earthen oven episodes just a few days ago, and right about the time i wondered why you didn't mop out the ash residue, you explained. :)

Thank you for sharing another earthen oven video! 🤩

You know what I've been meaning to ask if you can do a vid on baking a cake in your oven.

Man that looks good, best thing ever to eat on a cold day like this

Be as happy with things as simple as a falling leaf on a perfect pie like this guy.

Ryan absolutely nailed it being the host.

12:53 Chicken was checking out that pie accusingly. "Did you bake Matilda!?" 😂

You can never go wrong with chicken and mushrooms. This sounds amazing.

Love it. Every part was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for making such quality content!

What an awesome video!!!! Ryan has come a long way! Congrats on a job very well done!!!

Woohoo! New townsends upload, my day just got way better

Thank you for another great video Ryan!

Always appreciate coming home and watching one of y'all's videos after work!

Great video! Love the presentation and the pacing. More of these, please!!!!! Bravo, Ryan.

Love you, Ryan! All of you at Townsends & Son for the amazing content! Always perks me right up in the evening; especially this Autumn!

I have been a long time viewer but I rarely comment. I absolutely loved this video. I just want to say that i have absolutely enjoyed watching the channel evolve over the years! I absolutely love the cooking videos and it makes me long for when I used to be a medieval times reenactor, but I am absolutely loving the evolution and learning more than just cooking!

This is by far the most beautiful channel I've ever seen ❤ Thank You.

This was very educational and very fun to watch. Keep them coming!

I love this man. The passion that he has for this really translates through. I can't help but smile watching this. Keep up the amazing work you guys!

Ryan, I really like when you do videos. I appreciate the nuance and explanations for little details. Thank you both for this channel. I've learned a TON.

OMG the chicken and leaf were just perfect ❣️ Great episode as always 👏🏻

raking out the coals and ash. in dutch there is a saying : "iets in de doofpot stoppen" the doofpot is a large the large container in front of the oven (into witch you put the coals and ash) with a tight fitting lid to smother it. the saying means to not mansion wrong doings and smother any rumors about it. sometimes this was accompanied by putting a small object (a token or something stolen) in the pot to bury it in hot ash.

Wonderful episode Ryan!!

Lovely show, Ryan is awesome as always! Big thanks from a swedish fan

THANK YOU RYAN for a fine presentation, filled with plenty of tips about using thermal mass ovens.

This looks delicious. And I really like how you used herbs that were dried on site! I'm wondering now what it might taste like if we were to use a bit of white wine when cooking our mushrooms instead of water?

I’m very glad that Ryan made the decision to appear in his own videos. A different style but definitely meeting the standard of excellent presentation that Jon set for us.

I bought a piece of land this summer where I'm going to build a log cabin (a modern swedish one) and there's DEFINITLY going to be one of these ovens!

Great job! I so enjoy the videos you guys make because they are relaxing and informative.

This was one of my favorite episodes ever. Ryan's confidence in pie crust is amazing

This man makes me happy. Love every second of content out this channel. Still doesn't feel like enough nutmeg but that's alright by me, for now.

Chicken was like: „Steve!? Are you in there?! STEVEEE!!!“ 😂

This channel is the best. First time seeing him on here and he’s got great energy

This was awesome, thanks guys, I always love these kinda videos.

Thanks Ryan! Great episode

Ryan, you are a delight to watch. Thank you so much!

The dish has been blessed by the autumn nature spirits 🍂 😂

Ryan you have a wonderful charisma that continues to blossom. I'm so happy you've also joined the presentation team. You're a Wonder addition to this channel.

Ryan, you do a great job explaining everything so effortlessly. Your passion for this stuff really comes through. Great video. Also, it is so awesome to me to see people making recipes from the 17th century. I wonder if the authors ever thought their words would be used centuries later for the world to see. Such a cool concept.

This video was a delight. From learning more about cooking in the earthen oven (sadly I cannot re-create one in my apartment) to the fact that cooking the chicken bone-in gets you the loveliness of flavor (like making a bone broth), to the leaf and Ryan's laugh (and the chicken! (well, they are cannabalistic) oh my!). The beauty of fall in the background. This video brought me amazing warmth. Thank you.

Great job Ryan. Bet that would be a great recipe with some curry seasoning too!

I don't have an earthen oven, nor place to build one. I live in a tiny apartment, and no yard to speak of. I am so glad you include modern ways to cook the recipes! I would like to suggest you watch a few videos of "Learn Your Land", as he had lots of videos about wild foods you might enjoy. I am not allowed to drive due to seizures, so don't have access to wild lands (aka state parks, friends wild lands, etc). I am sure some of the wild foods he talks about are as historic as you could want. The one wild food I have access to is dandelions, and I am looking forward to including them into my diet when they next grow in the lawn of the apartment complex.

12:51 "Dude DUDE Don't try it! TRUST me! You'll never sleep again!!"

What a FUN video! I love this one!!

Lovely chickens! Nice little blooper with the chicken at the end!🐔

Ryan's speechless expression when he tastes the pie for the first time... that's how you know this is a great dish! Loved this video.

I'd trust that man with me life

Chicken at the end: *"OMG, Mabel, Mabel, is that you? What has that monster done to you!?"* 🐔😱🤣

I can't wait to see the smokehouse build! Cold and/or hot smokehouse?
