Can Sohla Make a Meal Out of String Cheese? | Mystery Menu | NYT Cooking

[@ednanocapes7257]

I like sohla bcs she is someone has gold leaves at home and is still like "yeah string cheese is totally good"

[@orijeanelle4397]

Yes! She's not pretentious. I love her

[@HotCheetoGirl_]

What?

[@HT-pl8du]

tbf, people dont eat gold leaf for the taste

[@jmac3327]

Totally good for what? Picky 4 year olds? How embarrassing. Hey NYT cooking....how about gourmet bologna sandwiches on Wonderbread?

[@leoa9474]

Everywhere this women goes people keep giving her the weirdest stuff to do, try to stump her, but every time she pulls it off fantastically and that just shows how absurdly skilled she is

[@razanaboudiab3468]

yeah, i feel that when sheleft bon appetit was the best thing ever. now we can see her creativity and cooking skills way better

[@emboe001]

A privileged caste person delegating tasks to low paid helpers doesn't take much skill. If she's so skilled why does she need others to make puff pastry?

[@rockpooladmirer]

@@emboe001huh??? what are you even talking about

[@lowwastehighmelanin]

And we all benefit from her brilliance.

I love Ham's supportive partner energy and the fact that he can speak directly to the task as a fellow expert.

[@navyasrivastava7667]

It'd be a dream come true to find this kind of energy in a partner.

[@HotCheetoGirl_]

@@navyasrivastava7667 y'all have such low standards that y'all are astonished by things a partner should do. It's sad.

[@joecab1]

@@HotCheetoGirl_ No one's astonished. It's just nice to point these positive things out. Now go away.

[@HotCheetoGirl_]

@@joecab1 so I have to go away because I pointed out the obvious? Y'all are literally giving props to dudes for doing basic things. My point still stands, go away.

[@philaeew4866]

@@HotCheetoGirl_ I think you misunderstood; Ham and Sohla are both professionals in the same field, which makes them communicate well in that specific environment. It's not about standards, it's about how similar their skills and thought processes are, and how well they harmonize when cooking. That's not a "thing a partner SHOULD do", you know. It's pretty cool and fairly rare, since most people don't have a partner with matching work experience.

[@lorassorkin]

Ham's moments are priceless. Sohla is once again spectacular - I attempt to channel her "of course we can make a meal with this" mentality daily. We need another show with them cooking together!

[@PhotonBeast]

The video of the friendly competition between Sohla and Priya and their partners was great, if you haven't seen that. :)

[@seanpethybridge7182]

If Sohla gets an hour to cook, we should get an hour to watch.

[@user-kn2yk2qt9r]

Yeah I could easily watch half an hour of Sohla problem solving and improving

[@secretforreddit]

I would love to see the uncut version!

[@sabbathjackal]

35 minuts of her struggling with packaging

[@delirium129]

My thoughts exactly. If I can watch an hour of June from Delish cooking meals for the week (with all of the crazy requirements they give her) and be super entertained, then I would love an hour of watching Sohla cook!

[@JAZZnMOTION]

THANK YOU! I was literally thinking “this isn’t long enough give me the hr”

[@joeanthonyyanson7162]

I'm always just happy seeing Sohla.... But every time Ham makes an appearance it's like a cherry on top

[@lrizzard]

or ham on top XD

[@excfontec6272]

THESE ARE A VOCAL MINORITY NYT PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW SOHLA FOCUSED 👍

[@lrizzard]

God bless sohla

[@amandachiu2503]

Sohla is the culinary Bob the Builder. "Can she make it? Yes she can!"

[@ChrisLam]

Sohla continues to be such a breath of fresh air in the cooking personality space. I might be projecting but I don't see that she is here for clout. She is here because she just loves cooking so so so much.

[@anniebell6846]

Yup 😁 It's an infectious love of food is amazing

[@td866]

projecting

[@rjwasylyk]

I mean, she's probably in it for the money too, but honestly? Good for her! If you've got to work, it might as well be doing something you love, and we get the privilege to watch her do her thing

[@anniebell6846]

@@rjwasylykof course but I like what she does

[@____darrah____]

I think that's what separates people like HER and all these random celebs trying to enter the food content space. Like yeah their recipes might be good but sohla has the passion and experience that makes her content unparalleled.

[@eggboi4564]

I love her recipes because she makes vegetarian food just due to the fact of that’s what goes together versus omission of meat. It makes it feel complete versus feeling like you’re compensating for something

[@louisac8160]

i aspire to have the kind of easy-going calm attitude that Sohla possesses. She is wildly talented and knowledgeable, but still so relaxed and kind. Such a gift to see her all over KZbin these days.

[@deknutz]

so lovely how she asks Ham for the proper pronunciation

[@westmass5809]

YES! Middle east represented! I’m so glad, thanks to Ham’s heritage, thought of making Kunafa/Kanafeh! Amazing!

[@razanaboudiab3468]

this video makes me happy of the representation too. Usually they would be making weird stuff with middle eastern ingredients and calling it middle eastern. Im not against creativity but dont call it something its not. she did cheese shawarma but called it inspired cz its not shwarama

[@aigoochamnaa]

Okay, I definitely want to make the string cheese schwarma pita pocket

[@NYTCooking]

Sohla: I'm going to make complicated 7 course meal using my amazing culinary skills. Also Sohla: "Should I make a cheesy gordito crunch?"

[@Say_Tin]

cheesy gordito crunch > 7 course meal

[@rikkicrowder7134]

These videos could easily be 2-3 times as long. Give us more of these special Sohla moments!

[@srcstcgngr2905]

I’d almost love if they also posted the full hour or something

[@currybun8570]

"We freaking did it. We're on time. Maybe I shouldn't make 10 things." I'll be keeping this as a mental note.

[@KNosk826]

When i was in the UK there was the option of adding fried halloum to falafel at shawarma spots. Life changing!

[@courtneylila8383]

This one, Ancient Recipes, and Off-Script are my favorite Sohla projects, and they all have their unique charm. For this show, its definitely having Ham featured in a very real way! Would love if they opened a restaurant together again, but would be bereft to have lost her as an internet personality.

[@deedeewells1152]

Their warm chemistry is very nice and comforting to witness!

[@chriswillis7154]

"There are better cheeses for adults to eat than string cheese." lol I'm dying

[@xyzpdq1122]

Agreed but just barely 🐮

[@RikoJAmado]

I feel personally attacked.

[@bruh666]

I love these videos but I wish they were a little longer and not as fast paced / compacted in editing

[@leirezalakain2836]

I love Ham and Sohla's relationship so much... Love is real and it's stored in the kitchen

[@fabybacenelson]

If you don't have a name for this yet and are committed to putting all the secret items in bags, I propose: "In the bag!" Because Sohla's always got it in the bag 👜

[@AK-yn5lz]

and she gets her ingredients from a brown bag! perfect

[@AutumnWytch999]

I love seeing Sohla all over my feed - I just am here for it! She's so innovative and creative. You could hand her a pile of bark and she'd figure out a way to make it taste good.

[@mattnorthcott1692]

“Should we just make a cheesy gordita crunch?” The answer to that is always yes!!!

[@johannaperez80]

Every time I read the title I'm like "of course she can"

[@dum5882]

"Oh yeah, we're cutting the cheese" I chuckled at this more than I should have for my age

[@user-kn2yk2qt9r]

Knanafeh is the best dessert hands down. Sohla you did it again.

[@sc4ml1kely]

"they don't have any cucumbers?!" "The blender's in the closet..." She's just like us 😄 "I should use some gold leaf" 😳

[@blissfuldw]

I'm 41, and I've tried some amazing cheese over the years, but sometimes nothing beats a stick of good ol' string cheese! Its a guilty pleasure of mine (prob because my parents never bought it for me).

[@jameslongstaff2762]

When I saw the thumbnail, I knew she was going to make kunafa. It's literally one of my favorite desserts. I love middle eastern food!

[@emilyhawks7806]

So glad that you are back in the spotlight and bowing us the potential of the foods we all have in the pantry or ‘fridge.

[@mrhpu0711]

Sohla Is the real life version of Erina and Soma. This inspires me. If there ever was a real life food wars I'm rooting for Sohla.

[@gorgeousguerilla]

Freaking love Sohla, her endless creativity, and how easily she shares her knowledge with us! Also, the usual Ham's guest appearance adds another boost of energy. Thank you both for brightening my day!

[@ElisaLionne]

I love this new series!!!! Thank you for making these videos. Sohla is the best! And having Ham there too is just lovely. The only improvement would be to just make the videos longer. So fun to watch!🙌🏼

[@TimeyWimeySciFi]

I love this lady! She’s so approachable in her cooking, and she’s really genius. NYT Cooking, we need to have recipe links for these!

[@junejunejuniejune]

Sohla, it's good to see you are thriving in a better environment! I am excited to see what you do!

[@katemchale5753]

wow sohla is so talented--we already knew that but I'm still blown away every time haha

[@kathyerickson9402]

You won me over with "Otter Pops?!" Now that would be quite the secret ingredient!

[@conniehuynh5531]

Chef and sole contestant on this show! haha, that cracked me up.

[@cormorantcolors]

2:17 Excuse me for going off topic here, but I am FURIOUS. The Claussen pickles you can see in this frame are in a recycled glass jar, which has been in short supply ever since the start of the pandemic. I live right next to a relatively large city, and they don’t sell them in ANY store I’ve been to or looked at the website of in the last year. The only brands of pickles that are in stock are absolutely VILE. I have been so desperate to have an edible pickle again that I tried pickles from a POUCH. What’s worse is that I had the whole thing. You can imagine my rage when I discovered that there are parts of the country where you can just walk in and BUY at LEAST 5 jars (I’d estimate 15-20).

[@sahruhhh]

LMFAO

[@VictorAndScience]

Sohla + Ham couple goals!

[@chubby_deity3143]

I love that Ham is the walking encyclopedia that Sohla turns to, lol.

[@twinmom99]

What a great show w Sohla! Would love to see longer episodes, especially if she has an hour.

[@ThatBernie]

I love knafeh! I lived in Syria and Jordan for several years, and my favorite was the knafeh that was a bit coarser and also lighter on the cheese.

[@osioneoseni-elamah4161]

Sohla is just so creative and a burst of light. Love her!

[@chattemploaquino]

Love the Ham appearances also!

[@Angels-3xist]

I consider using a salad spinner the chefs equivalent of wearing a monocle. I also love how excited we get for string cheese. Apparently it’s some other type of cheese altogether and just given fun new packaging.

[@beaherzberg]

When I saw the string cheese I thought, if she doesn’t make knafe, it’s the wrong move! Brilliant

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Coming back more than a year later, and it's still so good. The new stuff really nails the formula, but y'all really starting with something golden from the get go.

[@hemulek]

I’m rewatching the whole playlist too. There is something heartwarming in these videos, I just love Sohla’s energy so much, her “that’s okay, we can make it”, it gives so much serotonin. And that laugh!

[@ginendy]

When she started in on the desert mention my brain went straight to kenafe, confirmed by the visual and then the statement

[@chloeb1708]

That string cheese schwarma actually looked so good. I also love Oh Snap pickles so that was a good bodega pickup.

[@micheho17]
