She is not afraid to use salt 👍👍
Karen cooks like my father, who was Cypriot and a chef/restauranteur, which is to say she's imposing standard Western restaurant cooking onto Mediterranean cuisine. My dad learned to cook at catering college in the UK, not from his mum, and spent 30 years in a French-food environment before returning to his roots. So I learned from him to be liberal with the salt (I should note, though, Karen, that he had several heart attacks in later life!!), to brown the garlic before adding the onions (or here, bizarrely, the celery and carrot before the onions) and many more inauthentic things. Of course, it wasn't until I moved to Greece in the Eighties, got married and watched my mother-in-law at work in the kitchen, that I realized how inauthentic his cooking was… Anyway, one last thing, when my mother-in-law or any of her numerous sisters made a dish with even a tad too much salt (i.e. around a tenth of the amount Karen used here, or less!), she would damn her cooking by calling it 'tasty', which–in the end–is something restaurant food tries to be. Proper home-cooked food strives to be authentic, healthy, welcoming and a whole lot more.
She’s an amazing cook. I just can’t find the recipe?! Can someone send over this delicious dish recipe please? I appreciate it. 👏🏻
Puran Yantra 😂😅
She just dumped like $120 of saffron in that wine …
This dish looks amazing. But as a Persian, I was shocked by how she used all those beautiful threads of Saffron! You can easily use a tenth of what is advised in this recipe. Bloom it properly (ie grinding saffron and brew it for a few minutes) and poor it on your risotto shortly before it is done.
Her voice is incredible. I would listen to an audiobook or podcast with her
Nice girl but she must be a karren of camera
Soffritto*
that's like 20$ worth of saffron woah
The entire point of osso buco, as its name suggests, is to have bone barrow braised with the meat, which is why lamb is not common for osso buco (it's meant to be veal). So, this isn't osso buco, it's just a lamb stew.
too much of a tv cooking show vibe
That is a LOT of saffron
I need an explanation of this background music
i got a cookbook with this recipe never cooked it. but vice cosigns it now imma make it #hypebeast
Love your recipe I can't wait to try it. Any day of the week is fine to come to Adelaide Australia and cook it for me lol
This is actually an insane dish. I will recreate it for sure. Awesome.
Ma perché non lasci stare i piatti come sono nati invece di rovinarli? Cook stuff from you country and don’t ruin ours…
this ain't osso buco
I like that she adds a "mediterranean touch" to what already is mediterranean.
Bruh thats atleast 60 dollars worth of saffron
rings on! yes I love it 🙂
Great presenter
Crazy music. Who did that
Does she want to talk to the manager?
I love Karen – so thrilled to see her making something so delicious!
no.
She burnt the garlic. You’re not supposed to brown garlic in Italian soffritto
I suddenly want to throw a trophy at a small flat screen tv.
Awesomeness
I looove her voice.
Same energy as Giada but with the added bonus of badass energy. Probably be pretty cool to have a couple drinks and a good conversation with Karen…
Edited to add that you're all kinds of welcome to cook for my wife, my son and myself anytime……as long as you let us reciprocate 😛
Why the music?
You just can't cook. Garlic first? Onions last? You don't know what you are doing.
Is she single? I want to marry her 😍lol
She has a voice for media for real
Ginger in gremolata? Galaxy brain
About $300 worth of saffron right there
Last name looks like Auschwitz
