"It's the lava lamp you can eat."

I hate cooking, but I love this show for obvious reasons.

I like his little lines during the sauce making. "It's the lava lamp you can eat!"

I remember I prepared eggplant a couple of times and how I had to squeeze them very hard and repeatedly to remove the liquid. But it was worth it! What I got was something with the texture and flavor of meat, making it perfect for vegetarians who miss that meat taste... :P

@trumbachd1 He's said before that Tahini's harder to find, but use it if you can get it.

3:41 mr egg plant head?

[trumbachd1]

Anyone notice he used Tahini in his Babaghanouj, but not in his Hummous in the bean episode?

Any idea why he used Tahini in one application and not the other?

@W0tanTheGod honey is an acidic and sweet ingredient because of the natural thigns inside. since acid brings out more a saliva in your mouth and the salt already added in the baba ganoush it helps balances things

@gamemeister27 Why, thank, you!

[gamemeister27]
