I made you recipe yesterday with orange peels and pomelo peels. I had quite a lot, so I did them in two batches. I love they way to put them in water in the fridge overnight and then just blache them. It worked perfectly and has no bitterness. I cooled them on parchment paper and dipped them in sugar today. Very easy when it is cold

Dear Ms. Sokal, I remember when I was little, my Mother would make a frosting that would set on my Birthday cake kind of hard and crunchy, very divinity like. Is this it? Did you have to add cream of tartar to keep it from seizing/or freezing up from adding the hot sugar water to the whipped up egg whites? Thank you in advance for your response . ❤🎉❤

I love how you instruct followers with your recipes; you leave nothing to chance! You answer any questions that anyone may have while giving instructions. To all that read this, FOLLOW the instructions carefully to have 100% success! Get the popover pan, let the batter rest as long as possible, bake for the time given, and DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR! There is a reason for these instructions that have been tested and give the BEST RESULTS. Chef Gail Sokol, Thanks so much for adding quality recipes to your site; I look forward to everyone! Carol, East Coast of VA.

Beautiful.

I have tried so many popover recipes, including Martha Stewart's and Ina Garten's. CHEF GAIL SOKOL's recipe is by far the best for success!! The main thing to remember is DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR!! I have the same popover pan made for popovers, and it gives the best results.

The Mexican version I know does not use eggs, just the cooked paste.

Soooo much talking about nothing.

My Dearest Chef Gail, Oh, the effulgent glow of the moon on a midsummer’s night has naught compared to the resplendence that emanates from your kitchen!

how do i clean the flour off the tables after kneading/shaping?

Chef Gail, good day! Could you recommend your favorite cake flavor for this buttercream, please?

How long did you cook them in the water is it just like a blanch

I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for this recipe. I'm an amateur baker and I've been asked to make my best friends wedding cake for an outdoor summer wedding. I've been looking for a stable buttercream and then I came across this video. I made this recipe earlier today and it was my first time making an Italian meringue buttercream! It's amazing

Would vacuum seal also work?

This is the first time I ever purchased and old fashioned Ice Cream Maker and am so excited to try this recipe. I am making a summer strawberry pie and will also make the vanilla ice cream recipe in this link. Cef Gail Sokol has a very unique recipe and I love those recipes from creative adverturous chefs! I feel so lucky to have found this youtube page! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I will come back to inform the group on what the guests said about the ice cream.

Excellent clear demonstration!! Love her presentation. Thank you.❤

I TRIED this recipe, gonna make it again for birthdays, summer parties & picnics!!

Well done for giving ideas for the sieved pistachio contents as so many videos don't and I cringe as it's almost as good as the ice cream! It is lovely to go on top of the gelato itself!!

Love your videos, Gail, but I believe this is Almond Cream. Frangipane results when you mix this with Pastry Cream. Also, every reference I can find says that frangipane is French, not Italian. Yes, there was a Roman Frangipani family, but the cream came from France.

Thank you for this, I'm wanting to make protein bars with a little melted chocolate to cover them and have always had problem with chocolate seizing, this was very useful!

Love it!!!!!!~!

I'm making a 9x13 lemon lush ice box dessert. Do I double the recipe? THX

I'm new... are you?

Do you have a gluten free version? I have a couple of friends who are gluten free.

Thank u they look delicious

Darn it already didn’t use parchment paper or flour.

Just heard you on WAMC, and so glad to see you in person. This looks amazing and I will try it very soon. One thing--instead of starting to line up the strawberries on your left, and having to lift each one to put the next one under it, why don't you just start on the right (or left) and lay each one down on top of the previous one?! :)

Ingredients please

Ingredients please

So very good and the secret heated batter for Tall popovers

I’ve started making cheesecakes last year & I’ve always used parchment paper but maybe I’ll try this method one day.

Rhank you so much! Quick and to the point. I love your style!!

Do your ingredients need to be room temperature like I've seen on other videos ?

I am SO excited to make these! I haven’t had them since I was a kid! Love, love, loooooooooove them!

Totally awesome. Great video.

Just found you while I was looking for a Needham recipe. I grew up in Portland, Maine. I had friends whose mother made these all the time in the winter. On an old wood stove! She also made popcorn in an old popper on the wood stove. We'd have these treats after snowshoeing. Oh, I almost forgot to say that our always had dark chocolate.

Outstanding!! 😋🥰😍

Never heard of rhubarb before learned something new thanks !

I'm glad to have your channel. I'm subscribed now. You're a good teacher!

Thank you!

These look divine! Strawberries are coming into season now. How do you think these be with blueberries, raspberries or blackberries?

i just got this entire video as an ad for some reason, but i was invested and kept watching. you're amazing at explaining things and i can't wait to try this recipe out!

My family loves both strawberry and lavender. Will definitely make this recipe but will half it as there's only 3 of us. Thank you Chef Gail for another wonderful strawberry recipe 🥰

I can smell it through the screen 💜 great one as usual.

Cool Snowflakes! ❄🍪

Hello dear friend, please consider of your channel's SEO portion because it is very essential to growth your channel. Your channel SEO performance is same as before. It needs optimization thanks.

This looks delicious! Will definitely be making this. Thank you Chef Gail for another excellent recipe 🥰

This sounds really tasty, however, after watching you make this, it doesn't seem to be sweet enough. Strawberries need sweetened. Yours do not look sweet to me. Are you positive this recipe won't be too tart?

Doing this recipe ‘AGAIN’ today for Mother’s Day lunch tomorrow. ❤️🙏❤️ Always a crowd pleaser.
