$363 vs $12 Pizza: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Pro chef Lish Steiling and home cook Lorenzo are swapping recipes and hitting the kitchen to make pizza. We set Lorenzo up with all the ingredients necessary to make chef Lish’s extravagant $363 pizza recipe, sending only $12 worth of your typical, store-bought stuff back the other way. Can Lorenzo keep up with Lish’s restaurant quality techniques? Will Lish turn Lorenzo’s home ingredients into something unexpectedly gourmet?

Shoutout to the producers and editors on this one! Filming both a recipe that takes around 24 hours to make and a recipe that just takes a couple of hours tops, and timing them perfectly to finish at the same time so both pizzas look fresh in the final shot, all while splicing in interview material seamlessly in the final edit. This WAS NOT an easy film to create. And they managed it beautifully

[@leleprtk]

“Chef Lish knows what she’s doing 😊” “I LOVE BROCCOLI RABE!!!!!!” Their energies match so well, I love them

I want to see the behind the scenes for how these are planned and filmed

[@Greydawg]

Step 1: buy the ingredients Step 2: make up the pricing Step 3: film, cook, edit & publish the sensational results!

@@Greydawg They do not have to make up the pricing...

[@sesto194]

​@@Greydawgyeah but it would be interesting to see how they time the cooking , since one dish takes waaay longer than the other. And yet both are done at the same time.

[@ReganMcCullough]

@@HexIsme they don't have to but they clearly are inflating the cost

[@dodixaber8968]

@@sesto194 they are not done at the same time, it only seemed that they are done in the same time span because of careful editing. Even if they have two different kitchen to do the cooking, most of the pro chef recipe took more time to prepare, even without believing the gimmick of pro chef only gave ingredients list. The Ross call alone probably don't happen in just 1 min. This is sadly the kind of show that if you reveal the behind the scene stuff, it badly ruined immersion.

[@Cyril29a]

I see Lorenzo I click play. His positivity is always an uplifting treat.

[@marneebeckman4881]

Lish is a great chef for this...she's a great presenter/ teacher. She should have her own show....

[@trevorwilliams3501]

I still don't see it. She's my least favorite on the show. She seems very designed/prescribed. Lorenzo is being Lorenzo. Lish is being who she's supposed to be. Edit: she's my second least favorite. My least favorite is this guy who's name I can't even remember. He does the 3 Levels of show as a level 1 chef. He never even tries. Everything is store bought and pre-made with him. Lish is better than him, I guess.

Lish and Lorenzo in one Swap? How can it not be awesome?! Both Pizzas look incredible! Also, the positivity is through the roof! What a wholesome episode on top of great food! Love it! Lish for president, she is the best!

[@mathfincoding]

Unpopular opinion but I prefer these videos when they feature the less popular Epicurious chefs like Chef Lish. My other fave chefs are Esther, Yuji, and Bill. They just add so much variety to the techniques and flavors used.

[@Kristiekins2]

I respect that! I'll always love Frank and Saul but I agree it's nice to get some variety! Yuji is one of my favourites.

[@sergeantnuke]

I love any episode with a chef with a personality. Saul and Frank are fan favorites, but Lish always brings a really fun energy. Like the Miss Frizzle of food.

[@spoilerspree1077]

The chef picked depend on the dish they going to make. Chef Lish is baker which fit pizza episode.

[@voiceineheadphones]

I will never forgive her for saying black pepper gave food "a kick" - that isn't a chef, just another suburban person with a food degree.

[@gameweavers2655]

I'm pretty easy. I like 99% of the personalities on Epicurious. I mean I have a soft spot, Level 3 Chef-wise, for Frank, Saul & Lish. Lish has such a cool, enjoyable energy to her and she's so smart. Has a lot to say about food and why she likes it. ~Ry

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I love how these reduxes have become a way for the chefs to outdo Frank

[@smxkingalonebeats2895]

I think it shows such a respect to Frank. He goes above and beyond to try to use authentic, fresh ingredients and its recognized. He's an incredible chef, but I love them throwing the lesser known chefs in front of the camera :)

[@Asher-mw3zo]

Watching this video is humbling. I always cook and I now hear of many ingredients I’ve not known in the past like Scamorza and Taleggio cheese and broccoli rabe.

​@@GreydawgThe broccoli rabe was $7.00 and you know how they like to give inflated prices here.

@@FutureCommentary1 I just don't understand why is all; the ingredients are more expensive anyway, so why outright lie? It just seems not just misleading, but unfair to anyone else who actually thinks they can make these recipes for these prices, or that they can't afford to make better recipes.

Thing is with the cost: They buy one package of a very expensive ingredient, list the price for the whole thing, but only use a fraction of it. e.g. the price will skyrocket, if I buy 2 Bottles of 100$ Olive Oil, but only use a spoon or two. Prices should be calculated and compared per serving and actual used ingredients.

[@tom_something]

Usually it's very difficult to add water to kneaded dough. Does the einkorn flour help with this? Lorenzo did a fantastic job shaping and handling the dough. If the dough is strong enough, you can usually "drag" it onto the peel. But I've never worked with einkorn before, and Lorenzo's more cautious approach worked really well.

[@MVZ333]

I love this duo, but lets be real here, Lorenzo is a pro chef by now

[@Ruruschannel]

" I felt like crying " ...yeah me too Lorenzo 😂

[@AseDeliri]

Chef Lish demonstrates a savant-like mastery in her culinary technique and flavor creation, a rarity in the realm of cooking. Her profound command of the culinary chemistry, combined with an artisan's skill in blending ingredients harmoniously, is truly exceptional.

[@som3000]

Lorenzo is my fav 😅

[@rodniciajohnson5503]

I love this

[@KyleBaran90]

Most of the cost seems to be in the fennel pollen, various cheeses, and high grade olive oil. Plus it assumes you're buying the whole thing even if the recipe only calls for a bit. Realistically, Lish's dish could probably be reduced to about $60 depending on what you go with

[@davinar34]

At the same time it'd valid to compare the two side by side for an equal comparison, you generally can't a tablespoon of something. By that logic, Lorenzo's would only be a few bucks
