Alison Makes Lemon Pepper Pasta in Her New Kitchen | Home Movies with Alison Roman

[@zd4vis]

The vibe is more serious than I expected. The editing is so different. Thank you David + Team, you will be missed.

[@soehren1]

She‘s a Stepford wife now.

[@Meggs23]

Yah, these videos were such a fun exploration of food. I'm missing the funny. It was the best I've seen and I watch a TON of cooking videos. Hope this evolves with the funny that made it so good.

[@colettearmstrong1484]

so stiff :( I miss the playfulness

[@soyluzcastillo]

@@colettearmstrong1484 the thing is shes still kinda sassy and funny but without the editing it just doesnt feel the same, its kinda empty.

Good it wasn’t just me 🤭 and yes they Will be missed

[@MrKenimora]

We will miss you David and Dan

[@oopsgirl44]

😶😶

[@Meggs23]

Would have loved an update on their leaving since they were integral to the show... in this video, in the newsletter? Maybe I missed it?...

[@Laura-lq9vk]

@@Meggs23 It was mentioned briefly in the newsletter.

[@adelldazeem]

Yeah really. No goodbye video. I’ll miss their banter.

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@soehren1 Good lord, it's a free cooking show. And Teigen is even a bigger troll now that she was before and Kondo admitted to having a crazy messy house with 3 kids. It's called life.

[@EL-dd6tz]

Gosh, I love your cooking and SO pleased you are back!!! But part of the charm of Home Movies was the back and forth with David and Dan, it gave such energy, I’m sure the new crew are amazingly talented but it was that element that gave it life. Also had such a great vibe knowing it was also in a similar smallish city kitchen, made the recipes more attainable and relatable in an indescribable way somehow. The new kitchen is gorgeous and I’m enjoying the 90’s feels but dare I say it it feels like it’s been done before? Home Movies was so fresh and vibrant and new. Will of course always watch and support (especially any and all pasta dishes obv) can’t wait to see the rest of the series but just a two cents.

[@Meggs23]

Could not agree more. Happy to support growth but this seems a copy of hundreds of cooking videos instead of the wonderfully unique and funny viewpoint it has been up til now.

[@Jess.-.]

I know what you mean and I did enjoy the back and forth. I do think that it took time to build that rapport, and that it is Alison’s natural personality that brings that out in people, so I am confident that as this new team gains experience working together it be just as delightful. She is really doing a wonderful job despite the major changes that she has experienced, which I suspect has given her a limited set of choices in the production of her show. Whatever the case may be, I am excited to watch the coming videos and I am grateful that she has put in the effort to make something beautiful for us to watch and learn from.

[@EL-dd6tz]

@@Jess.-. definitely agree!

Change is often good for my creative soul, and I know that it's a process. I'll stick around to see where this goes. Missing the fun in this first one.

[@tamiwithani]

I don't know, but something is missing. I LOVE Alison; i would watch her videos for things i would never make, but this is feeling like every other cooking show. Ever.

[@katharinavonzitzewitz826]

I like this Show.And I' m off to my kitchen to "cook me some pasta "😊...Love the shape of those noodles😮

[@raine681]

I feel like this is Alison’s legacy videos now and I don’t mean that like what we now her from, I mean this production style is more for longevity and timeless. She’s weaving in shots in her store filming more of this new space and the context of Bloomsville… all a bit more rounded in terms of her brand. I’ll miss the old style, I will never stop re watching them and I love all the in-jokes. Thanks David and the team that brought Home Movies to life in the first place with Alison. You guys are a solid part of our lives. Good luck in your next steps 🫶🏽

Everybody: "I don't like change!" Video is nice and warm and good.

[@diannedutton6127]

Love watching you cook. I've learned a lot watching you. You're a good teacher. I'm eighty one years old, still learning.❤

[@ElizabethSchroeder08]

Awww man! I was hoping you'd bring back David and Dan, but I appreciate the need to grow and shift. It's a little serious and stiff without them. 😢 RIP 🪦 Happy for you and will stick around to see where it goes. Change is hard. Forgive us die-hards!

[@dms0110]

I really enjoyed season one. I would go back and rewatch many of the episodes, and love them every time. They were so much fun. But this put me to sleep. I could not for the life of me pay attention. I can understand wanting to up your game, but where you were unique and individual, and personable and relatable, you are now like every other TV cook I've seen a million times. I am disappointed.

[@stevegrant6004]

Great to have you back, but I do miss a little bit of back and forth with the team!

[@holly_kalae]

So glad Home Movies is back but I did find myself feeling like something was missing and I realized its because David and Dan aren't here to banter with Alison and I agree with the others in the comments who say Alison seems much more serious without the boys. LOVE the new kitchen and gosh I wish I could shop in your shop, it's so adorable. And I do know Alison got married so I'm sure she's moved out of the city and into a beautiful home with her hubby and David and Dan aren't moving in with them lol but they will be missed! Maybe they came make a cameo at some point later in the season? ♥

[@pipmercer3803]

Is it that far from NY to Bloomfield? I'm from Australia so not sure of distances.

[@holly_kalae]

@@pipmercer3803 its in the same state I believe not sure which city of Bloomfield exactly she moved to there's multiple Bloomfield's on the East Coast of the US but its definitely not just a short drive.

[@mielkhoury]

Where are the guys with the comments? Not sure I like this new corporate vibe!

[@rosannecastiglioni8613]

Congratulations, Allison on the new shop, new home, newish show. You were a godsend on KZbin during the pandemic. Looking forward to the new season. I know you must have thick skin, but dear lord dont listen to any of these negative comments. Grow! Change! Its lovely.

[@cvr8260]

The insane pressure we put on women to not change/age/evolve is right here in these comments. Right down to assuming the new content is missing the contribution that two men made, not Alison. Personally I love seeing you take on different life stages, each time with warmth, integrity and grace.

[@lisal9829]

I grew up outside Rochester NY, and now I live in the tropics. Looking our her window, and seeing the snow and the trees...really makes me feel nostalgic..and missing that area of the world. I really like the new vibe of your show..and of course, the simple, yet great recipes.

[@kel9369]

this informative, refined and jazzy vibe is soooo nice. a perfect season two opener. so, so glad you're back, alison! looking forward to the further evolution of home movies (and to making this pasta soon!)

[@droman0120]

So happy to see more Home Movies! Always inspires me to get cooking!

[@johnkochanowski8194]

I love your recipes. They ALWAYS work and that is rare these days! The reason for tbis note is to tell you how excited I was to see all of the Rancho Gordo beens on the shelves. I can't find them in stores here in Nashville, but I've been ordering them for many years through the mail. They are one of this country's great artisanal products, and the more people that know about them the better. Keep up the wonderful videos!!!

[@sweetpeanmolly]

Awe…I feel like I lost my friends 😞 Sorry but the old format or approach was why I would watch Home Movies. They were always naturally funny. This is too serious! But…still love you Allison and so happy that you have a nice kitchen and cooking area! Maybe you could let your beautiful personality out just a bit more? ♥️♥️♥️

[@bubbleteasaint5741]

Oh happy day!!! So thrilled you are back Alison!. And what a beautiful new kitchen and home. Congrats on the new season and also on the new shop. Our girl has definitely kept herself busy. Can't wait to watch every new home movies videos. Thank you also to your home movies crew for always providing for us top-notch production value videos to enjoy. It's always been a highlight of my week to watch them.

[@jefflinder4313]

Love the Lemon Pepper Pasta recipe. At first tried making it with ghee (healthier). But no, did not work for a lot of reasons. Quickly switched to the six tablespoons of butter, found a long fusilli, followed Alison's directions to a "T," and boy was that yummy. Accompanied this with an Eric Ripert salad with baby arugula, thin-sliced fennel, and marinated artichoke hearts -- this recipe appeared in the WSJ. Great meal thanks to two great chefs.

[@wewewewa]

i really miss the funny animations and awkward jokes. Ham party has to be one of my most quoted videos ever.

[@YohanStrauss]

feel like it would take a while to get used to this. i miss the chaos and the fun which made the past seasons feel genuine and different from other cooking shows

[@patlately]

I've prayed for times like these!!

[@paulacothren3591]

I agree, and I think Alison was also ready for the change.

[@paulad9941]

Congratulations on your new adventures Alison! I’m rooting for you and excited to see how you and the new season evolve. Change is brave and good! I’m here for the new location and new vibe, but did get a little queasy from the filming and editing style. My unsolicited feeling is that like your cooking, you and your content are so excellent that you don’t need to be fancy and the new style is a little distracting, but we all just need time to adjust to this new version of home movies. We missed you and are so happy to have you back!

[@chillaxbiznatch]

I love the Nancy Meyers/Barefoot Contessa vibes of this new season of Home Movies ❤

[@mrsreebz]

I agree, keep it simple! You don't even need to defend or explain. This is what I need right now. Just easy, no stress. I can make tonight.

This looks wonderful! Can't wait to try this. What I've always liked about your videos is that you 'teach' a method, not necessarily a recipe. Love the new kitchen. Looking forward to more Home Movies.

[@sarawilson9251]

I love Alison for her amazing cooking, recipes, and stylish presentation whether it be more relaxed or more sophisticated. Cooking is an art form, and artists don’t want to do the same thing forever. Artists grow and mature, and their styles may change a bit. I have learned so much through the years from Alison’s cooking videos and am truly excited to see this new side of her!💛

Also at the end this had the 2000's Nigella Bites vibes when I'd watch her on the Style Network, loved it! I was finishing an FD order while I was watching and added broccoli to it, ah can't wait to make this :)

You look happy, Mrs. Roman, and that's wonderful, as is living in a beautiful new home (congratulations), but I'm missing the playful relaxed atmosphere of your previous videos, that distinguished you from the rest. Will keep on viewing to see how it progresses

[@aaronw6681]

This is next level! So happy to see your progression! Cant wait to see what else you got coming. See you in Vancouver!!!!

[@ivana547]

Since Alison and Claire Saffitz are both in the Hudson Valley area, i think we need a crossover between these two amazing chefs.

[@sabinal17]

That would be cool. Also, people seem to forget that Allison has a right to move out of New York City and change the setup. David and Dan probably would have loved to work with her, but they want to stay in NYC. I live in Virginia, but would love to visit first bloom. But with Gas prices I’ll just have to watch.

[@ivana547]

Exactly! I moved from Hudson valley to Virginia a year ago and would have loved to have been able to visit the store but, unfortunately, it wasn't even opened then.

[@josieannecameron1383]

Yes! Would love to see them together! 🦋🌙🩷

[@treeodore4369]

I've thought of this before and for some reason I have a feeling they would clash idk why. Both are amazing though.

Claire managed to hold on to her charming video crew, Cal & Vinnie. Her videos just get better and better. I will miss Dan & David.

[@josieannecameron1383]

Happy you are back! This all feels a little serious but I am sure the new crew will warm up! Give Alison a break everyone. It’s only the first one it takes a minute.

Love this! I too miss David and Dan and their comments and the casual vibe of it all, but change is change. It'll evolve into its own new thing ~ and the space, I mean. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers! It's gorgeous and genuine and accessible. So glad you are back! (ps, whoever you are: it's not that they are men and Alison is not great without men. They were PEOPLE who added a great vibe. Obviously Alison is the ride or die.)

[@marcellobalenzano8374]

[@maries1381]

Love to see you back Alison! I love how rustic and cozy your new store looks. It also made me smile to see the Rancho Gordo beans on the shelves - I have a walk-in pantry and proudly display my RG beans, and grains (have you tried the polenta? ammmmaaazzing!) there. I would love to visit the store during a future trip to NY. I think of you when I go to Humphrey Yogurt in Sherman Oaks since watching the episode you mentioned it in - which is often when the temp is hot here in Studio City. I see a few negative comments here about the change. It's funny how so many people hate change and are slowly accepting that everything in our lives is evolving and changing. I hate how my metabolism has slowed down over the last 5 years, and the changes in my body but hey, I remain smiling and accepting with self-confidence and gratefulness to appreciate the goodness in life. xoxo

[@annemariepurdy1683]

She noted in her newsletter how people hate change, too, (which felt kind of like starting a presentation or pitch with an apology). Worth noting is that people don't hate change. They hate bad change. And this is an example of people not feeling connected with this change. A brand isn't about aesthetic only, it's about an emotion that it evokes, and this very far away from where we last engaged with her brand. This new tone of video might be closely tethered to how the country feels to her, and the store. But a brand is always about public perception about the creative, despite best intentions.
