You know what I love about Sohla is she's just like yeah theres 400 recepies for this dish do whatever you wanna do make it your own. Really makes you want to experiment & try the food shes showing off. Real inspiration to new & verteran home cooks.

Yes! The amount of times I didn't make stock because I was like "well, I don't have the right ingredients to make a nice broth"... And now..

So happy to hear Sohla talk about how "french cooking techniques" are NOT the be all and end all way to prepare food 🤘

Why? Why are you happy to hear that? Who ever said that French techniques were the end-all be-all way to prepare food? You seem like a racist with a PhD in the bigotry of low-expectations.

“I’ve never thrown away a spice.” Sohla is so real for that ❤

I got food poisoning from chicken this week and I’m watching this anyway because Sohla is always unmissable 😊💕

Handily there's info in this video about avoiding that!

How iconic can a chef be?? Sohla is blowing my mind every single time. We're all blessed to share our time on this Earth with her. 'Got random herbs wilting? Wow, throw 'em in there! Got a random half lemon? Woah, crazy! Just a bit of onion? You don't even need to peel!'

This is the most informative and well produced cooking series on youtube period. Sohla is an incredible teacher and I hope this series can continue for as long as humanly possible.

Five minutes in and I’ve already learned like 6 things. First stop tomorrow is gonna be arguing with my mom about wooden cutting boards.

Sohla is SO passionate about food, it just radiates.

I'm 61 and learned an absolute ton of helpful info from this video. You have a new fan, Sohla!

I have been cooking for thirty years and I always learn something new from Sohla's videos. She is so relatable and charming. I just want to watch more! I hope this series continues. It's awesome!

Except “stop washing your chicken”

So glad that right off the bat, she shared Asian recipes and modified even the chicken soup to not conform to any notions of ‘this is the only way’. I’m going to steal her motto - ‘there are no hard and fast rules in cooking’

Love Sohla; her explanations and instruction are the best! Thank you and please keep sharing her videos!

Sohla is so fun to watch. She’s humble, funny, practical, honest and straightforward.

I got "Start Here" for my birthday and I used Sohla's spatchcock chicken recipe at Thanksgiving. It was UNREAL.

I’m 67 years old and you would think I would know this stuff. Well I don’t. And I love being under Sohla’s wing (😊). I will run out and get a whole chicken tomorrow!!

This such an awesome way for Sohla to tell us about cooking basics! Her greatest strength is her ability to step into the mind of the beginning home chef and communicate so clearly. It's just wonderful! I was only going to watch the video for five minutes and I got sucked into it and watched all of it. Thank you so much!

Love Sohla! Please, more of her

Who else loves Sohla as great cook and also an awesome human being?

Sohla is amazing I love how she explains everything ❤❤❤

So glad Sohla did Chicken Adobo. My family loves it. It's so tasty. Got the recipe about 40 years ago from a Filipino friend. As she said "Best over rice".

One of the best collections of chicken cooking tips I've seen in a very long time. Solar is an excellent teacher.

Wow. I watched her making eggs and couldn't believe how good they came out, and now the chicken. I did the spatchcock recipe just as she did it, except olive oil and not ghee, and it was just incredible. I would do it that way every time. And it is easy too. Just beautfully browned, crispy skin, incredibly moist white meat and perfectly done dark. I only wish a chicken had a dozen wings.

i love sohla she’s such a charming host and makes cooking feel so approachable. grateful for this video ❤

So frick'n excited to see Sohla preggers!!! Congrats to both of you! It couldn't happen to a nicer couple!!!!

I appreciate the well researched intro on adobo. People think it's soy that makes adobo, it's actually the vinegar. In our family, we add ginger to chicken adobo.

Omg Sohla congrats on the pregnancy! I love you and I totally agree with cutting up the onions that’s why I always loved watching you since Bon Appetite

I’ve been cooking all my life and I still love your perspective and techniques in the kitchen. Thank you Sola!

I enjoyed watching and learning from you. It’s always a gain to watch you all cook in NYT Cooking. Bravo!

Thank you Sohla and #NYTimesCooking. Every single second of your videos I am learning something and all of the questions I get while watching always get answered.

Sohla! You have a beautiful gift of teaching. Simplicity and humor…and beauty! I hope you continue to share your knowledge with us. I’m excited to get back in the kitchen and try some new variations and methods. Thank you! Congrats on the baby bump! You and your family, take care.

Yes she is. So happy for her and her hubby.

Excellent PSA on chicken handling! Did not know "why" wood boards were better for cutting chicken on(capillary action).

Sohla is my current favorite cooking teacher. She is so funny and charismatic and explains everything so well. Love her.

For the brining, if you only have fine salt, then a good old salt shaker still works to get a regular distribution. You can wash it off when you're done.

Thank you for explaining the wood cutting board thing for raw meat!!!

Plastic is still fine to use but is a bit more energy intensive. If you have a large sink plug it up, put all the chicken contanimated tools in the sink, cutting board, knife, bowls for scraps (I line a ziplock bag in a bowl for skins and bones to make doggy broth and freeze for later). Drizzle them in dish soap, and heat water to a boil enough to submerge the board. If your sink is small do multiple pots of boiling water to pour over. All the chicken bits left on the knife and board will immediatly turn opaque. It's an effort but I have never gotten sick from chicken.

Another way is to put plastic boards into the dishwasher and let it do all that work. I'm don't normally run my dishwasher, but if I've used plastic boards, in they go. @@1337billybob

Yeah, that was a surprise to me. I have a set of plastic color coded board toppers that I’ve been using, I’ll have to rethink those. Maybe I’ll keep a separate board and wash with vinegar and boiling water immediately after use. Gotta be careful not to contaminate the sink with it. 🤷‍♀️

I absolutely love this series!!!

I just received your cookbook, absolutely perfect. I love how you explain everything and the reasoning why you do stuff. And you and Ham are adorable to watch. Thankyou

I find watching Sohla so calming, and then I learn stuff along the way.

Love these series. So many useful insights ❤

It does NOT get any better than this. Sohla is a gifted chef and teacher. I thought I knew how to roast a chicken. Well, I learned quite a bit here. Thanks so much, Sohla.♥

Excellent explanation of the cooking of chicken. Thank you for coursing on prepping first before handling the chicken!

Thank you! Can't wait to try the adobo. Yum.

Sohla is a gem and wonderful teacher!

Fantastic series!

I'm so glad you addressed the bones. I am an unabashed bone hoarder and my soups and the people who eat them are very grateful for that.

Sohla! you're awesome, thank you!

You are a great chef and a wonderful teacher. Thank you

GROCERIES!!! as if Sohla wasn't cute enough already! Also, after the egg video I made six fried eggs at once with no broken yolks.💙 still have not made a decent pot of rice without using the " pasta method" but I know about rice porridge now so I fret less about over watering.

Yum these recipes look amazing

Sohla, by herself, teaching us how to cook, is pure gold!!

Sohla makes me a more confident home cook. Thank you Sohla, we'll follow you anywhere ❤
