No a quest pays for fresh no damn leftovers

@jasonexploring 😂 Then never eat a casserole, salad, sandwich, soup, pizza, late night snack, stew, pie, etc. Many of the best dishes we enjoy are based on leftovers. You can't make a good fried rice using fresh rice. The rice must be a day old. Repurposing leftovers actually respects the life of the animal or plant that gave its life to provide food for us. Being a leftover does not equate to bad. And, please note, the chef is making a snack/sandwich and not a main course.

You cook the for your job the way I try to cook for my family. My mother taught me how to pantry cook. It was a blessing when my ex walked out on my son and I 15 years ago and took every dime we had. I was able to continue cooking great meals with very little. This is a skill that needs to be taught in school.

That's really awesome! My mother was a very....let's say uninterested parent. So she basically didn't teach my any kind of useful life skills. No cooking, financial literacy, basic around the house stuff, nothing. I've managed to figure most things out along the way. But cooking is something I struggle with still! She never cooked, so I pretty much have the palette of a 5 year old 🤦‍♀️ A YT channel that teaches the foundational skills/knowledge that you mentioned would be an awesome idea!

@@gingerleamcwow435 Same w my parents. I’m thankful for neighbors and friends that brought me to church. Walking with Christ helped me make far better choices in life than I could have with how I was raised. I’m high school, my mom wouldn’t let me get a job. So I took a class in high school that required me to get a job. Oops! Sorry mom! I bought a used mini fridge so I could buy my own groceries. I had a lot of health problems and believed I could improve if I ate healthier but my parents thought that was silly plus then they would have to make healthier choices so they weren’t interested. I was determined to gradually become independent. I was so afraid of turning 18 and not knowing what to do. I bought my own clothes, did my own laundry, made my own schedule, etc. My husband and I got married at 21. We made a lot of financial mistakes and soon learned how to manage our money better. I have now been a financial coach for years, my hubs and I are marriage coaches. Oh and I taught myself how to cook and garden. I cook nearly everything from scratch and strive to waste as little as possible.

All I see are nice comments??????? 😊 unless they been removed im not sure what u mean

I love leftovers in burritos or on a flatbread pizza. That’s normally what I make for my family on a Friday evening. Last week I used some chorizo and beans leftover with chopped tomatoes and peppers and scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese and wrapped it up into toasted burritos with guac on the side!

I do this too! My fave is when I have left over fried rice, the egg burritos the next morning are BOMB with that mixed in

It’s really good you don’t waste anything 😊

You do the greatest videos. I love the way you are always coming up with the new ideas.

That looks sooo good! And made me realize that crisping them is my missing piece!

Wow! Dunno how I forgot that you feed the crew too! That’s a lot of mouths to cater to. You’re awesome! Considering the hours you work, I hope you’re well compensated . Cheers

Loved these! Your video is amazing and I hope you don't take these comments to heart because the video got to the worse side of youtube. Its extremely clear a lot of these people don't know squat about cooking, required hygiene practices and don't understand the dynamic onboard that yacht. Keep doing what you're doing in order the limit the amount of waste because I sooooo get you on that. When I worked in a kitchen, it pained me to be throwing away so much food so seeing you repurpose it is refreshing.

That’s actually really informative. Thank you.

Brilliant chef.

Hmmm I’m doing this at home all the time. I constantly “repurpose” foods and the family doesn’t know the difference. I love that food doesn’t get wasted as much. I feel like a magician!

I love this thank you! Food waste makes me so upset 😭

Yum! So creative

They say breakfasts used to be the leftovers of the previous day’s dinner. Why not? I hate wasting food too. It is so much work and resources to create food and tossing it to garbage is a total waste.

And I LOVE the presentation! I’m the person that would grab the burrito and eat the lettuce on the bottom too.

I love zucchini bread. Its a great thing to make when you have leftover zucchini or just to make it if you are tired of banana bread 😊

Thank God. Someone that gets it. Why waste food when there is so many people on this earth and less farms for food being produce. Hats off to you!!👍🌸

Very few people seem to understand what leftover means. She isn't scraping off the plates people eat off of, she means the ingredients left over from making the previous meal. For example if she used half a pound of ham for a recipe but has a full ham she will use the other half for something else. Its called reducing waste. Its essential on a ship where there is limited room for food waste, limited ingredients, and you can't just dash to the store to buy more food.

I love your cooking style, I have taken many of your ideas and recreated them. Your innovative and cook delicious foods!
