I totally agree with your comment about cooking not being the same as baking. Exact measurements are important in baking, but to be a good cook, you have to develop instincts over time, and taste what you are cooking constantly, and make adjustments based on your acquired instincts. Being a good cook is a journey, not a destination. A good cook NEVER stops learning.

Here’s a tip from my 80 year old Neapolitan friend regarding chicken cutlets. Put your cheese in the beaten eggs. It helps it bloom. Small changes make a big difference.

This channel is so good, one of the few cooking channels where the recipes don't feel too intimidating to have a go at after a days work when my brain is fried lol.

Many cooking channels are competing with each other to make things overly complicated. I think there is a couple of reasons for this. They want complements from pro chefs/peers and maybe they think simple food doesn't offer them enough of a challenge. I try to put the viewer first on this channel and cater to what they would actually attempt to make with the limited time we all have. I try to do that in the simplest way possible.

Agreed. This kind of stuff is what I generally cook because I rarely want to dirty every pan, utensil, and dish in my kitchen and spend 8 hours making a meal and cleaning up. If I want fancy, there are great restaurants nearby, so unless it’s a special occasion, this is what I’m making in my home.

@@SipandFeast this is so true. Thank you for the work you put into our experience.

"I believe that making exact measurements when you're cooking is going to do a couple things. It's going to make to make you not a good cook; you're never going to learn how to cook. This isn't baking." -- Jim, of Sip and Feast. This is one of the truest statements anyone desiring to cook well needs to understand, and why a gold YT play button is on the horizon. Learning how to cook instead of learning how to measure is the foundation of your channel, regardless of the recipe, whether Italian or more American leaning. Folks are coming here to learn how to actually cook, and cook with using what they have and can get. Baking is more precise so get a scale, but good cooking is all about the groove and feel. In never saw my mom or grandma sweat the details or have anyone dislike whatever they made. Just like all great musicians occasionally hit bad notes when performing, great cooks also have their moments. What makes both great is how they handle and recover from it, which comes from doing either of them a lot. It's called experience, and our confidence grows to becomes a place where we realize that there isn't much we can do wrong that would prevent us from still making something others will want to consume.

This time 1000x. In addition, NOT measuring encourages experimentation. It encourages you to taste and adjust as you go. It encourages you to take note of your outcomes and make adjustments next time. Eventually those types of learnings allow you to make up your own recipes, or modify other recipes you might find in successful ways.

I don't feel like you're "selling" me anything. Oh and lastly of course, it's refreshing to see you bond with your kid. And it's not the kind that "exploits" their kinds on youtube... and is a genuine connection for your guys' love of food. Cheers man. Oh and most DEFINITELY one of the good aspects of the channel, is how well the video is made, from how it's shot, and how it's edited. Simple but top-notch.

Hey there. Just thought I would swing by and say: I made this yesterday in my tiny kitchen, and it tasted amazing. I've never made Chicken Parm before - it's not really a thing here in Denmark where I live - and it was great fun to make. I even lacked some ingredients but that didn't stop me. Your channel taught me to just have fun with it and the dish still tasted great despite having to use red wine instead of white, and having no cream either. So thank you very much once again for sharing these videos. It inspires me to cook and has already given me so much great food I would otherwise never make. Cheers!
