As someone who loves the old Tomb Raider games I was pleasantly surprised that this book wasn't just about the most recent tomb raider series. Just while looking through the pages I saw many iconic location from the first games!

The falafel almost surely failed because frozen Beans are cooked, while the recipe called for just soaked, but not cooked, ones. One, this adds way too much moisture-I guess you could correct that by adding flour or breadcrums (not more beans, as they are the problem to begin with). Two, the texture is worse, as you basically double cook the beans making them quite mushy. When I use canned chickpeas for regular falafel, I just grill them for a minute or two till they get crunchy and add grains to the mix to give some more interesting texture, I guess this could work here too? But, as a disclaimer, I just know how to make regular falafels, so this is speculation on my experience

As a Briton, it's pretty cool that the book calls for you to make your own baked beans from scratch.

This channel taught me how important the photos are. It's like a taste test for your eyes!

I like how legit you sound like, Miso. To tell people that you should/could replace ingredients for those "cheaper" (like the tenderloin) or "easier" to find is what makes me really enjoy watching your videos. It makes it feel more humane, you know? Keep up the good work, man!

As a Belgian, I rejoice to see people actually double-fry their fries. It's the only way! Also, it's strange to see someone actually put effort into beans on toast...

The original tombraiders were my first real big game trilogy I was obsessed with. She kicked so much ass and as a kid I wanted to be an archaeologist (went to uni for it too) and exploring in the game felt so mysterious. The little tune that starts when you discover a secret still makes me happy.

As a british person i found it actually really cute that laras fav breakfast is beans on toast. its such a comfort food for so many of us here. Guess im gonna try this version soon

There is a chance you live in an area where dried fava beans are called broad beans or butter beans, so looking for those might help. Otherwise, you’ll have to substitute in chick peas or other mild beans. A better cookbook would have explained that.

that butler is dedicated if he’s making baked beans from scratch every morning. I respect the dude.

A Tomb Raider cookbook is not something I would have ever imagined but it works surprisingly well. It is a shame it is not narrated by Laura Croft, her jotting down recipes she really enjoyed from the many countries she went to would have been a wonderfully organic way to present the cookbook. The fact that only some recipes have pictures is a huge letdown. One of the big reasons I like cookbooks is the big, glossy pictures of amazing tasting food. I have to dock three stars from the review for that alone. However, the food you made (mostly) looks tasty and that Peruvian dish was the star of the show. I also really liked that they incorporated pics of Laura from across the series instead of just keeping them to the reboot.

Wait... the beans on toast recipe wasn't simply: "open a can of baked beans"?! Well the quality of the recipes is higher than I imagined!

Love the video but I will complain that cumin is not in the original recipe. Maybe just a pinch but 2 teaspoons is overkill. Thank you for using the aji amarillo paste and the frozen peppers tho! Those are crucial to the flavor. Aji Amarillo has a milder floral hint to it because of the freshness that jalapenos can't match. I would recommend Zocalo Aji Amarillo paste for anyone making the sauce. It is super fresh (and it spoils fast to prove it) and it doesn't have the taste of citric acid that other brands have to use to preserve it. Not surprised that you love the stir fry, ^.^. It's a fusion dish in Peru that was created using Peruvian ingredients by the Asian community in Peru to appeal to local tastes. It's so popular that every Peruvian restaurant will serve it. It's our most well known crowd pleasing dish. I will confirm that at home I just use sirloin because of the price. But a good peruvian restaurant will use beef tenderloin, and to me that's a litmus test of how good that restaurant will be. Be on the lookout.

Wow this is a real book! Gotta get it now and add it to my video game cookbook collection. Destiny 2 cookbook next????

Gotta say, I love these reviews. I'd really like some insight on why you pick the recipes you do. Is it random? Do you pick ones you think you might enjoy? challenge you? One's you really just wanna try, even if you're not sure you'll like them?

I never expected a cookbook to be written and inspired from the games since food is hardly mentioned in any of them. But this looks so neat! Any recipes that is TR-inspired, I will try.

Okay, so I think I may have figured out why your Ta'ameya was messed up. The beans weren't supposed to be cooked. This means they're going to be soggy and adding more only added to the problem. I don't think this is your fault because this is a foreign food and I assume it wasn't mentioned in the recipe. Speaking of things not mentioned in the recipe the sesame seeds are DEFINITELY supposed to be in the recipe as every recipe I've found has them so that's a major mistake on their end. Apparently this is a very big Egyptian street food that is a big deal over there so I'm surprised the cookbook messed it up. Also, fun fact about them is while they can be eaten alone like in your video they also seem to put several inside some sort of bread/tortilla and eat it almost like a square hot pocket with an end open where they use a white sauce on top of it.

I think it's so fun when you say that you'll actually use these recipes again as replacements to the ones you'd usually do. That's really encouraging to try these myself one day!

Oh yeah, I don't know how many dishes from other countries look like, so without knowing how they should look like, it's really hard to know if I've done the recipe right

Never thought i'd ever see the tomb raider cookbook! Great vid as well, keep it up!

I always loved the idea of the Tomb Raider games. These games and the Uncharted games alike always seemed like they paid respects to what I assumed was the source; Indiana Jones, while also remaining unique to their own stories. I wish I had played more of these games as I've never touched Uncharted and I've only played a little bit of one of the newer Tomb Raider games. That being said, this is quite an immersive cookbook from what you've shown and I could totally see her scribble down recipes from her travels that she enjoyed. Before watching the video I was slightly concerned that this cookbook would really just feature random recipes from across the world but it seems they really put their heart into it! I do have to say though, much like you I need my pictures with every recipe or else I feel like I go in blind and don't really have that passion to cook it in the first place. These pictures need to be there and they need to capture my attention. They should have me DYING to try out and create each recipe in the cookbook and as a photographer let me tell you, it's not as hard as you'd think. Great video as always! I am always excited to get a notification that one of your videos has just been uploaded! Also, by the way I'll look into those Egyptian fulofuls (however it's spelled) and let you know if I learn anything helpful!

10:38 The way your eyes rolled back into your head said it all

love your channel, great video as always. also holy that lomo saltado looks good, definitely gonna have to try making it myself!

This channel is amazing man

The Middle Eats YT channel has a video on how to make Ta'ameya. Obi and Salma are amazing, and their video goes into a great amount of detail on what to do, what to look for, and what the final results should be.

seeing todays upload in my feed brought a smile to my face :^) keep going dude! i love your content so much and i hope lots more people find it!

Wow that third dish looks delicious 🤤

I like to imagine you have a very colorful cookbook library with all these books

It’s beans on toast, u just have to used tinned baked beans, put them in a pan or microwave, make your toast, but some butter on it if u want, put the beans on, at salt and cheese

I expected Lara's favourite breakfast to be something fancy, like... poached salmon eggs benedict or something, "beans on toast" is considered a fairly simple meal, then again, she travelled a lot, so a tin of beans and some toast was probably relatively convenient comfort food for camping. Also didn't expect them to put a whole-ass recipe for what would normally come in a can. I might have to try that Peruvian beef dish though, that sounds delicious. You know what's kind of ironic? Lara's creator called her "Lara" because he didn't think Americans could pronounced "Laura", but I most often hear Americans pronounce her name as "Laura".

your critique videos are sooo cool, you should crittique the Ghilbhi cookbook yes :)

This is a really cool idea for a cookbook, might pick it up myself

Dry breans, soaked in the fridge for 12 hours or so. Dry for 30 minutes after soaking. When you process the beans, they should have roughly a panko consistency. Then mix the flavors in, and process just a bit more until it's like a rough shaggy dough. It shouldn't be too wet. You should be able to easily form balls with the dough that crumble somewhat when pinched.

I’ve been binging all of your videos so you def have a new sub. Keep it up dude!

I would be really interested in a video where you retry your failed recipes like Ta'amiya

The beans and toast do look tasty. I’ll have to try that sometime.

Great video as always!

An American must have designed these - those beans are not like any authentic British recipes. It goes south the second ketchup is used in the base. 😆 Now, as a chef of 20+ years, I'd recommend replacing that ketchup, with chili sauce - not spicy, but that sweet tomato based one, such as made by Heinz. You'll find it where you find the ketchup. It still won't be authentic to British beans, but will be significantly better. Anytime you DO see ketchup in a recipe, any knowledgable chef will replace it with chili sauce, or sometimes something else. Ketchup is something only home cooks use in recipes, and there's ALWAYS a better alternative for the job.

me seeing the cover from afar: ohhh that cloth looks peruvian how cool! me seeing the close up of the peruvian soles: OH IT IS PERUVIAN!!! HOW COOL !!!!!!

One to to save the falafel would have been pulsing the beans instead of blending to retain a bit of texture. Also you could add some flour to bind them.

Wow. This surpringly seems like the most legit cookbook yet. I don't have any connection to TR but might check this out

the Lomo saltado looked fire, Stir fry is easily one of my favorites, good video , keep it up :)

What’s up Miso Hungry. PLEASE make more cookbook critiques. I accidentally binge all of them and now I’m out of content as good as this

Another great video. Never thought id see a cookbook based on Tomb Raider, its a very interesting idea, especially the travel guide part. Also, im pretty sure you said Worchester sauce correctly, how many takes did that take? :P

Your videos are actually good content. You should check out the one piece cookbook next.

Stirfry looks so good

Maybe they did consider having Lara "narrate" the book, but considering that it includes stuff from all three timelines - and therefore, three different Laras - it probably posed a bit of a challenge since it would've technically had three different Lara narrators 🤔

I love these cook book reviews! And I'm not a cook!

Even with the one recipe fail this all looked really good. I have the book coming for a Christmas gift and it was great getting a sneak peek. The Peruvian dish looks to die for but where did you find the aji amarillo paste? Is it something safe to order from Amazon?

Yeh, let me know ow if you need any bean tips. Thanks

falaFAIL had me cackling

I would've written the book from the perspective of Winston, Lara's butler, since he would've probably been the one cooking them.

I mean the original tomb raider games took place in the mid 90s so she would be around 25-28 years old if she was born in 1968 Also I need to get these cookbooks Got to test my culinary skills

Older video but Falafel is so hard to make and perfect. I am a hugr falafel fan and the only places ive ever found good falafel have been very small mom and pop joints. Its almost a rule that the only way to make falafel is to have an old family recipe passed down for generations. Dont feel bad because ive legit had horrendous falafel at 5 star michelin restaurants so understand that it really is an insanely hard thing to make

Are you planing on doing a DnD cookbook review? I think it was called Hero’s feast. Anyway, I’m really liking this videos :) have a nice day

Don't forget to have a nice Chianti with your Fava beans;)

Please! do the Supernatural one.

great video, I never knew that existed

Made me chuckle thinking you made that beans on toast so professionally but Lara probably eats Heinz haha

Can you please do the Wakanda cookbook 🙏🏿

Please do the destiny cookbook next!

How many cookbooks are out there

You need to use fresh fava beans

That would've made her 26 when the OG Tomb Raider came out in 1996

I wish I knew what cilantro tastes like to most people.

The background music is too loud, otherwise the video is good

man that stir fry looks really good but i cant eat cilantro haha (ive got the soap flavour thing)

I'm Egyptian and the recipe for the ta'amiya wasn't even right and you should only put a little bit of sesame seeds on it and yeah the reason it fell apart in the oil is that it is too wet and if the cooked well in the oil it would be golden and crisby from the outside and not that moshy on the inside Sorry for my bad English

Frozen beans was your issue, way to much moisture in the dough

For the white rice, did you make it in a rice cooker or frying pan? I'm mexican so I use a frying pan but my brother has a rice cooker just in case

beans on toast... come on, i make that every week

This seems like a pretty solid book, although I don’t think I’ll ever understand the love of beans on toast that English people have…

I honestly thought it was another fake cook book like the league one.

Can you do Adventure time cookbook?

Lol 58 is not that old if you keep on working out she can still raid tombs.

Is there any uncharted cookbook?

I get anxiety just thinking about the dirty dishes from cooking all these meals at once

Day 2 of asking for The Witcher cook book

50... I would bet she is still at it. lol

Wasnt Angelina Jolie in her 50s in the movies? I cant even begin to imagine what is in the book 🤔 either stuff made for her by the butler (or said butler), spitroast (though do we ever actually see her eat?) Or like what desecrated mummy flesh?

The fava beans aren't even ripe 💀 And it's not supposed to have sesame seeds It's just coarsely ground beans

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know

lara croft has been to several different countries, continents, + more yet you're telling me her favorite dish is beans and toast what

You should make videos on Genshin Impact's food, or Don't Starve

make puerto rican recipes

maybe you should asked the author for an upgrade

where TF is cuisine from siberia. i wanted representation of rise!

To does anyone else eat raw garlic or am I insane

Well, women are like wine you know 😏 Also in the rebood she's born in 1992.. which sure, still better with age 😂 Seriously tho, I know a few 50 yo that would probably still be able to do the globetrotting adventure thing.. look at people like Keanu Reeves for example. The Rock, Linda Hamilton even!

the recipes seem pretty damn bold to assume you have some damn obscure ingredients.

already off the bat im annoyed. beans in america are not the same as beans in england. yet this recipe is making american beans on toast, and people will get the idea theyre the same as lara is english. not your fault of course

Saltado?? wtf i think thats wrong :v its "salteado"

I don't understand why even include messing up certain recipes? all it does it show you're lazy by not choosing a diff recipe or not correctly sourcing materials

Its crap.

Fava been are disgusting I don't know why anyone would use them to cook and normally you would use chickpeas for falafel

Where to get the cookbook at 😊
