Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes feta cooked like saag paneer.

No thanks. I really don't want to watch a filthy person licking their fingers, wiping their nose and then going straight to the cutting board. How does this get no criticism from the comments? Every videos she's touching her hair, licking spoons and using them in the pot. Nobody like that should be allowed in a professional kitchen.

[@alvinlee2234]

I mean she's not cooking to serve, she's cooking to demonstrate. It's totally fine in my opinion if she has small kitchen habits as long as she and the other BA staff are aware.

[@ArtseyGurl]

@@alvinlee2234 exactly. I'm a professional cook and am constantly wearing gloves, washing hands and taking every precaution to stay as hygienic as possible. At home on the other hand, that's a different story. This guys just a jerk and no fun at parties. Also the rest of these chefs do that too so maybe even add a pinch of racism! 😊

[@jaxeek]

Culture is always growing and changing. You use whatever cheese you think tastes good.

[@Giant-Speck]

@Bruce Wayne Exactly. Food has evolved this way in all cultures. For example, gazpacho dates back to the Roman Empire, but the tomato-based form we typically think of when we imagine gazpacho ("red gazpacho") wasn't developed until centuries later, when tomatoes were brought over from the New World.

[@faisalsalam4161]

@Bruce Wayne Indian food didn't use potatoes either until a few hundred years ago. Since potatoes were originally found in South America. It was only until Europeans went there that they were used everywhere. Now potatoes are probably one of biggest ingredients in Indian cooking now.

As a fellow South-Aisian I love watching Priya and Sohla making traditional dishes because I get to see how similar yet different our cultures are just within the subcontinent. I'm Punjabi and what Priya calls chhonk we call a tarka. We usually add really thinly sliced onions that get really nice and crispy in the oil.

[@Shelsight]

@@BruceWayne-eh4im All I'm saying is give a rationale, as all cooking (like art, music, or anything creative) is subjective & based on interpretation, culture, audience, ingredients, technique, etc - multiple subjective elements. So I'm just saying give constructive criticism, rather than damning with no comments or explanation. You just slam. Nothing else.. It's lazy.

Her and Sola not getting paid to do these videos doesn't make any sense whatsoever and is difficult to believe. Are you sure they weren't getting paid for these segments? I thought they just weren't getting paid for their contributions to others people's videos. I don't doubt they were treated unfairly, and it always seemed odd that none of the non-white chefs had their own series, while nearly all of the white chefs did.

OMG!! She has given out our secret ingredient asafoetida !!! 😱

[@b2h316]

@singh padda trump?

[@DGardn100]

When I was a kid here in Texas, you could go to the corner store and buy wax paper wrapped squares of asafoetida about the size of Now and Later candies. It was used for medicinal purposes. The smell of that stuff was...unique.

[@mecytotoxic]

Plantsmantx yep, it is a resin of plant and has medicinal uses. It is an anti flatulent. It has to added to food that produces flatulence, like protein rich daal has to have a tadka/chownk with ghee zeera garlic hari Mirch and heeng. Garlic is also medicinal( many uses) and is a mild anti flatulent, too. Onions on the other hand can cause flatulence. Indian cooking is about balancing flavors and medicinal properties.
