    My Mom was a pretty terrible cook. Most of the good things she cooked, she learned from my Dad who was an amazing cook. That being said, Mom's Matzo ball soup was awesome. She only made it at Passover. Her matzo balls were light, fluffy, and absolutely heaven. She learned how to make them from her mom who was born in Poland in the early 1800's. Chicken fat featured heavily in all of her cooking. Thank you, Alison for evoking this sweet memory. Mom died in 2012 at 97 years of age.

    A dish that reminds me of Matzo Ball Soup that we make here in Germany is Grießklöschen with roughly translates to Semolina dumblings and they are similarly prepared but instead of Matzo meal, we'd use semolina. It was one of my favourite foods as a kid and I still love to make it now when I'm sick or cold.

    I've been growing celery in my little garden for the last few years. It's the best vegetable- although the stalks are thin, each plant will give enough to give me a few meals and also regrow all winter (live in the South). And the leaves! I use them as the greens in all my soups, stews, etc. That unique taste. Can't match it with anything from the store.

    so -- about the recipe. Decades ago replaced the chicken fat with canola or any other good vegetable oil. There is absolutely zero loss of great flavor. First, to get good chicken fat you have to render it yourself. SEcond, it's so not good for you. Here's a place to substitute something else for the schmaltz and not give up anything. But I don't mean to criticize. This is such a friendly, and good, channel. Great way to teach and keep everyone comfortable. Thanks

    This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. I don’t know what I was expecting considering your controversy, but I genuinely enjoyed this video. You have a great personality. I like the sweet self-deprecation. You are not a clownish cook like the egregiously awful Pasta Queen, and you are not a mean cook like the horridly abusive Gordon Ramsay. I loathe them both. You have your own style, and it was fun to watch. I smiled a lot. You’re the real deal. Definitely not a phony like the alleged “Queen” or Ramsay. Here in Buffalo, the land of chicken wings, my mom made her soup with an old hen, until old hens went the way of the Dodo in supermarkets. She switched to one whole breast (or two halves), some wings, the back, and neck. Probably two dozen wings. They all combined to make the most wonderful broth. We aren’t Jewish (we are mostly Italian), so I wasn’t familiar with the use of dill, but the classic trio of celery, carrots, and onions, along with a finisher of chopped parsley filled the bill. I will try dill. The breast meat was cut up, and placed into our bowls. Thanks for an entertaining and informative video. I look forward to watching others.

    I am the only holdout for hard golf-sized matzo balls and don’t even remember how to make them at this point. I grew up on them and think they are little flavor bombs. Any sacrilegious suggestions for me to achieve the sinkers, or just add more meal? Grew up at Mort’s Deli in Tarzana, usually with a walk-through to Bea’s Bakery for a piece of 7-layer cake. Haven’t been there since the 80s after moved out of CA permanently.

    After “the storm” and subsequent deep freeze, I was craving soup and trying to resist ordering Matzo ball from the diner, so I googled the recipe and was led to A. Roman’s NYT’s videos. Impressed but definitely getting the “too cool for school” vibe, I resisted watching more but they kept coming up in my feed. I eventually weakened and started to watch but was puzzled at the sudden end to them on NYTs channel as well as wondering what the heck “#TheStew”was. So back to google again. Wow what a read - twitter, cnn+, cultural appropriation, cancel culture …. drama. All I can say is I must have been living under a rock (a NYT subscriber!) Yes, I am definitely not cool… But I did find this channel and am enjoying the new refrig as well. Keep on with the (Alison’s versions)! I still don’t understand the distain for pumpkin pie, never was there ever a better spicy companion to whipped cream and unfortunately you just can’t eat whipped cream alone.

    Is there a substitute for matzo meal? Also, same question for chicken fat. Thank you!

    Hi Alison! Great video! For additional flavor, why would you not boil the matzo balls in the chicken stock?

    The balls absorb so much liquid, you'd have too little broth left to eat

    Whaaaaat? How did I grow up in a Jewish household and no one ever referred to matzo ball soup as Jewish penicillin? I’ve only heard non Jewish folks say that, but maybe my family’s weird. Since I haven’t eaten chicken for ages, I need to go make a batch of vegetarian matzo ball soup (blasphemous I know) ‘cause I’ve been craving it since the weather got colder!

    I miss matza ball soup. I am going to use cream crackers instead of the matza as it’s not something I can buy here in Ireland. Chicken fat is also not something I can pick up at the grocery. Could I use melted butter instead or duck fat? Thank you
