1. nobody except for some extremely old fashioned italian americans calls tomato sauce gravy

2. here in Helena, MT, my cooking (at home) far exceeds most anything available in restaurants, with the exception of the Silver Star Steak Company which has excellent food, prime grade beef, expensive but at least you get something good ; otherwise, I'd much rather eat at home, which also gives me the opportunity to cook which is at least as much fun as eating

3. We love mushrooms, but I start differently. Naked SS pan about medium heat. Great sear with just the mushrooms, no oil. Flip and turn until they brown, then add your fat of choice, I use unsalted butter. Better browning with less fat.

4. Don't forget MSG. Any restaurant in Asia will use MSG in various forms.

5. That shrimp infused oil is a dope idea!

6. This contains absolute treasures.
   Thank you so much for this.
   Awesome techniques!
   ❤❤❤

7. Such an awesome video full of golden nuggets. Thanks Andy

8. Thanks for the tip about shellfish oil. I usually use the shells, etc. to make a stock.

9. I’m not an expert on the science either but I rationalised that braised meats taste better left for a day is that the proteins loose inter muscular fats as they cook and the outside dries with the mallard reaction leaving holes in the skin and further the muscle fibres inside creating an osmosis of fluid as it cools and the muscle fibres loosen back up resulting in the void being filled with the fragrant sauce you made, then times that by the extra surface area of diced or minced meat and those are some thirty flavour sponges.

   Love the vids 👌

10. Sheelfish oil is a bloody winner!! Nice one!

11. We definitely don't call Bolognese gravy in the US but a lot of people call it spaghetti sauce. Which is …. Obviously specific.

12. I love the Birbendum ("Bib") on your shelf. I've only just noticed him.

    A little clarification over the salt. It's not strictly true that kosher salt weighs more than table salt or vice versa. What you have with table salt, as you mention, is a smaller grain. For any given volume of salt, the smaller grains mean that there are more grains of salt and less air in that given volume. All forms of sodium chloride are a structure of sodium and chloride ions in a cubic lattice and it's only the presence of "contaminants" that will give one particular "gourmet" salt having a different flavour profile over any other.

13. King Andy!❤

14. One of the best videos you’ve put out, so good! Although Flayva Flav is probably going to sue for IP infringement with the amount of times you said Flavour

15. Thank you so much for these types of videos, Andy and crew. ❤

16. Andy ! only too often the herbs and flavours are not commonly found in most kitchens, often they are exotic herbs and flavourings that are not commonly found ,and when eventually found and purchased are used infrequently and lose their flavours over time. This is not often addressed by digital media cooks and statements like, " these ingredients are hard to find but worth the effort of doing so". Just look at the internet shops and examine the prices of desirable herbs and flavours they are always difficult to find and most expensive. Love your show ❤ and the ideas, though the meats are often hard to source and expensive as well.

17. Hi chef. I know this is probably a bit contentious, but “South Asia” is not a term that any of us ever approved of. It’s the Indian Subcontinent.

18. Can you make a meatball sub please

    Love your channel

19. Home made herbal vinegars should be stored in the refrigerator.

    As for infused oils, these are much more problematic being a low acid medium. There are techniques for acidfying oils (at home) for longer shelf life. (The danger is bacteria like Clostridium botulinum developing in an anaerobic environment.)

20. How long is an open bottle vinegar good for (generally)?

21. “The raspberry smells like raspberry“
    Andy is such a super trooper…😉
