The intro of her book talks all about her philosophy behind this. She was always the kid asking “but why?” in school and was often met with unhelpful adults that gave the whole “because I said so” spiel. Now, as an author and teacher, she actively tries to foster curiosity in her audience and include all the “why”s behind what she does. I think it makes her one of the most helpful and engaging food hosts out there right now.

@KahlevN 15 күн бұрын

100% agree on the vinaigrette ratio. The ones I see most people in the US using is wayyyyyy too much oil and not enough acidity. Then you have to use too much dressing in general to get the flavor boost you want, so the salad ends up goopy. I much prefer a thinner but more impactful dressing that I can use less of to get a bunch of flavor. I do anywhere from 50-70% acid depending on the dressing, but never anywhere close to the only 30% that a lot of dressings recipes seem to recommend.

@meganweber3125 15 күн бұрын

I always learn so much from Sohla videos! I had no clue to use that much salt to blanch different items. I too am super shy about using too much. That is so helpful!!!

@Laogeodritt 12 күн бұрын

For blanching and boiling, it might be helpful to consider that most of that salt stays in the water that you throw away. You want to salt the water pretty heavily so that enough of it ends up in the food (which like Sohla mentioned also depends on how long you're blanching/boiling).

@joeellison4677 9 күн бұрын

"Enough" salt for many people is none. I haven't yet missed the salt I don't put in most food, including blanching water. IMO, salt is a terrible flavor.

Thank you for saying it about the oil to acid ratio for dressings. Every so often I seem to default to the 3:1 ratio because it's 'correct', and every time I end up with a mountain of dressing as I frantically add more of everything else to prevent a sad, oily dressing situation.

I could watch you cook for hours.. Sohla if you are reading this, you can try cooking quinoa like you would rice (rather than adding it to boiling water) Its a bit more efficient as it uses less water and you can control the overall cook/ texture of the quinoa. Unlike rice- quinoa can be really good over cooked for a veggie burger for example or slightly under for a salad ? But your salad looked amazing. I like how you cooked it. Just from looking at it, its not under but probably a little over. Most people like it that way because its less seedy but more mushy. Some people don't like how it gets stuck in their teeth when under cooked. I cook quinoa alot! Thankyou for telling people to wash with a fine mesh strainer that is a must. And sadly the most annoying aspect to working with quinoa. Loved watching these methods and I always learn something new.

I cook amazing charred broccoli. Take your florets and put them in a pan in high, add some water and cover to steam. Uncover, let the water evaporate, then throw in butter and let it brown as the broccoli chars. You might need to add splashes of water occasionally. Also I tend to put minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, pepper, etc in with the florets and water at the beginning to add flavor. It's super easy and pretty fast and really delicious and nutty from the browning butter.
