Cooking Vegan Blintzes for Shavuot! || Mayim Bialik

[@vwsandvettes3253]

You are just so down to earth and relatable unlike so many others in Hollywood. Thank you Mayim!

[@lynn69jackson]

I think she has always been down to earth and because she was originally a child star, she saw many other child stars fall from grace when they were no longer cute or a money maker for the studios. She shunned the limelight for quite some time when she went to university to get a really good education and qualifications she could fall back on. She is wise beyond her years.

[@Historian212]

lynn jackson I think it also helped that her parents didn’t push her into it. She was the one who wanted to perform (she tells this story in interviews). I think that makes a big difference. Wil Wheaton, for example, shares freely that his parents forced him to do acting as a child, and it traumatized him. He does a lot of advocacy work now. Glad Mayim didn’t go through that.

[@y.m.9402]

She has a net worth of $30M

[@thruth9115]

[@normaharne5659]

Right? That's what I was thinking. Thank you.

I love how excited Mayim got making beautiful blintzes. This, my children, is what cooking is all about. 🤗💖🌺

[@PluckyDuckling]

Agreed! I wish I was thos excited every time I cooked but this is mostly what I'm like. My 14 year old is learning to cook as well.

In Poland we call them "naleśniki" 💖 And also I Just love this whole excitement you get while cooking perfect Blintz 😍

[@kittylynnlpn]

I always tell my daughter and my husband that you're not a true home cook unless you make a mess 😂 love your videos. My daughter decided to be vegetarian when she was 11 about 2 and 1/2 years ago. And about a few weeks before this quarantine thing she decided to go vegan. You have been a blessing.I respect her reasons for being vegan and I took her to her doctor to make sure all her blood levels were good. We also have a nutrition consult. I'm learning a lot by I've been watching your videos. You always look like you're having such fun.

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

Haha! Then I am a success story after all! I'm not big on KZbin account, at least not yet, but I have IG for Adam. He tells people of my messy kitchen. Oh... &... I cook, therefore I don't do dishes is a magnet I long claimed & placed on my fridge!

[@pebblespop9053]

You sound like an amazing mum 🥰 best of luck to your daughter and her vegan journey! 🌱

[@christelheadington1136]

Why I liked cooking for living, more than at home: In the restaurant I could use many different pots and pans, and someone else cleaned them.

[@SelinaCat]

Check out Unnatural Vegan on YT. She's a great rational vegan also. Protein is your secret weapon!

[@normaharne5659]

Mom always said the messier the cook the better the taste. I didn't realize exactly what she meant when I was young. Lol! But, I do now! Lmbo!

[@Historian212]

“Can you use coconut oil? *I don’t know!*” Best cooking show ever. Very haimish (homey). Never saw them tucked on only one side, that’s an interesting variation. Chag sameach! (Happy holiday!)

[@daniaguinaga1754]

You are pure joy. How giddy you were to scoop the first ones into the pan and flip them, so wholesome. You just make me smile. Your child like excitement is contagious. Thank you. 💕

[@ChocolateTeaparty]

In German we call those Pfannkuchen or Eierkuchen. :) (pan cakes or egg cakes) And we mostly eat them with apple sauce and cinnamonsugar on top.

[@marianbaden7343]

MARMELADE!!!! :D

[@AnniundLilo]

Nee. Plinse!

[@fionafiona1146]

Nutella might be allowed, syrups are just messy.

[@dds584]

Mayim you should so do more of these cooking videos. You're a natural at it. You getting excited over the blintzes is super cute. Thanks for the big smile on my face.

[@lennard7227]

Its so funny for me to see you cooking it. Because here in Germany this dish ist called 'Pfannkuchen' which translates to pancakes. And it's one of the most normal foods and so typical. I wasn't aware that you can put so much thought and excitement into making it and I love it :D I really enjoy watching your videos! Greetings from Germany :)

[@myrletewinkel]

And in Dutch Pannenkoeken! :D Delicious with 'stroop'!

[@EvaLey]

And in Sweden, it's Pannkakor! Served with jam and a dollop of whipped cream, or filled with bolognese sauce and grated cheese 😁

[@lidiab5094]

...and in Poland a bit more complicated, 'naleśniki' ;))) My 8-year-old excels at this but never does she have even nearly that much fun with them as you do! Btw, I never bother to butter the skillet, just dump a bit more fat (for me it's oil) into the batter and it makes the non-stick trick, though I bet it's not that delicious. Also, with these it really pays off to have a dedicated skillet with lower rants - non-stick and makes easy to turn these. Last comment: I loved your 'I need a shmata' (Polish 'szmata' is a rag, but also colloquially a kitchen towel). Great episode!

[@CalledLissy]

That's quite interesting, here in north east saxony we call these things "Plinse/Plintze" while the rest of Germany says Eierkuchen or Pfannkuchen! So maybe it has jewish roots here!

[@Historian212]

Sommerregenluft It’s more likely that the Jews adapted it from locals as they migrated into Europe long ago. Many (most?) Ashkenazi “Jewish foods” are the same or similar to those of the surrounding people’s. It makes sense: for example, Jews originally would have used olive oil for cooking when they were still living in the Mediterranean area. But olive oil was rare or impossible to get in northern Europe, centuries ago. So they used rendered animal fats like chicken or goose fat (not pork fat, it’s not kosher). It made sense to adapt to using whatever ingredients were available. Some of the best blintzes I ever had were in a Polish restaurant in New York City. Jewish foods I grew up eating were very similar to what I found in Polish and Ukrainian restaurants, because my Jewish great-grandparents were from those areas, and cooked stuffed cabbage, potato pancakes, challah bread, etc. Aside from kosher considerations, there are some differences, of course. But the similarities are many. This is true of Jewish cuisine around the world - and of culture in general. People migrate, they mingle, they share. 😊

[@lauragantz6876]

I'm Polish and from Jewish descend but was raised atheist. I love all you videos especially when I'm thinking about the last Jewish person in my family which was my great grandfather. Thank you for answering all of my unspoken questions 🌻

[@klaudiasoliwoda7503]

Yeah, Blintzes are popular dish in Poland🇵🇱, especially in the eastern part, for example around Białystok😀 But our pancakes look also similar. We call them "naleśniki". They are thin and rolled up. We eat them mainly with jam or cottage cheese, but sometimes we add blueberries or other fruits. I think I can safely say that such a dish like polish pancakes(almost like blintzes) is in the Polish home at least once a week and there's nothing to do with religion. Love from Poland ❤️ You look beautiful in red 😊

[@Krajisnika87]

And also in Hungary 😊 as slavic with slovakian and hungarian roots we also have them 😊

I am from Germany and my grandmother made crepes called „Plinsen“. She took just flour, half water, half milk and eggs. But they were a delight always she made it. We used to eat it just with sugar on top. I always tried to do it like she used to make them, but they never tasted that way. Maybe my grannys special addition was love 😁😂

[@amyharris2121]

I miss the cooking episodes. Maybe you could do some holiday specials for the season ? You could do a Mayim's breakdown the holiday recipes with a vegan chef? We would all love it, or at least I would.
