at 3:52 you can see that she blended one of the sticky labels into her tomato juice 😬

[@darinmbicknell]

More starch!

[@rerolley]

I saw that, was wondering if others did too.

[@yeetusfetus8687]

It's...part of the improv? 🤪

[@khalilabdul-waheed6791]

Fruit/veggie stickers are made to be edible. Amino acids or some science stuff😅

[@rerolley]

@@khalilabdul-waheed6791 but see: www.encyclopedia.com/daily/is-it-true-that-fruit-stickers-are-edible/

[@satinflowers]

[@yeetusfetus8687]

[@saraali9046]

[@boester69]

did she seriously forgot to remove the stickers from the tomatoes?? 0o

[@khalilabdul-waheed6791]

The stickers are edible. They're made to dissolve immediately in the stomach

[@y1521t21b5]

3:52 edible label(s)?

[@deadcardriving]

So happy to find you -- you are fabulous! This dish looks incredible. Any chance you will offer the recipe, printed online or within a cookbook?

[@HowToCuisine]

Hope she saw the sticky label! 😬

[@asianeatery4350]

Wowwwww... That's really awesome..

[@Michelle-1]

I seriously can't believe this went unnoticed... Less than 700 likes????

[@catdogbill]

I can't imagine why she has no Michelin stars.Maybe sticky labels in a sauce lol.

[@mrslothman03]

Great job!

[@andrineslife]

Looks amazing 😍

[@jjo1875]

Love Nyesha, how do you make tomato powder?

[@recoil53]

You an dehydrate tomatoes - plum tomatoes don't have as much water content, so they are a good place to start. Then use a food processor or blender to make a powder. You can also buy it - the related companies The Spice House and Penzy's has it. Store in your freezer though, that stuff loves to grab all the moisture it can out of the air.

[@muhammadfauzie5133]

Miss the omakase 😔

[@roizdoci]

If you ever come across a brazilian market ask for a mandioquinha/batata baroa and try the same dish. Tradicionaly you would boil them instead of baking it... But you're the chef

[@joymae]

But has anyone ever AIR FRIED their gnocchi?!

[@derekwright3239]

No but I'm willing to give it a try.

[@alisabrown2002]

Any Caribbeans🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲jamaican ere.....

[@somersdehaney2880]

🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@granturismo_filippoGT]

La vostra idea di gnocchi mi confonde un pò 😅

[@elenalogreco7580]

Però lo ha detto che è più una zuppa di amidi in realtà. Sembra interessante comunque

[@ChiChi-dy9qi]

Not sure if I'm more in love with you, or the Gnocchi

[@pf011]

I'm definitely more in love with her!

[@aquaticlife9251]

Ok, so. Queso.

[@emadelre]

Eh lo so zia che gli gnocchi sono buoni🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kamalyousef5704]

Ezy first

[@raphielusain9755]

You want a cookie

[@citras2374]

That looks like worm😰😨🤢

[@sugreev2001]

Cultural appropriation. Make fufu, not pasta.
