I would love to see mastering a roux! Or even what different types of things can be used in the different types of roux’s

[@mscholl724]

You get an automatic A+ just for that.

I've dreamed of going to chef school - now I can do it from the comfort of my home, and practice in my own kitchen. Thanks, Chefsmartypants for making that possible.

[@thechefsmartypants]

That's exactly the idea! Save the $70k and let me teach you!

[@browneyedginger13]

You're a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for doing this. It's so much fun to learn from someone who loves cooking as much as you do!

You are killing me!!! 😂 You're freakin' adorable...

[@vanessamackey3857]

So happy for the long format videos! I'd love to see how to do a proper mince as well. I can't tell when I mince garlic if it should just be a very small dice, or actually more mushy. Do you mainly dice and dice or smash it with the side of the knife? I've seen both.

[@thechefsmartypants]

I do both, depends on how finely diced or pasty I want it. Thanks for subscribing!

[@sharonlamb589]

I’m loving this!!!

[@SimonHeagney]

Hey Chef! Could you please do a video on how to get the fillets off a cooked fish? I see so many delicious-looking recipes for cooking a whole fish but I am a bit apprehensive as I don't know what to do once it's done! Thanks 🙂

[@verasilva7284]

I love you! I was crazy for you have your channel on KZbin! I'm from Brazil

[@thechefsmartypants]

Thanks!! So happy to be here, thanks for subscribing!

[@EricSmith-fc5yn]

Please do a video on sauces

[@LisaNYC70]

I know I am being annoying but is there a way for the camera to get closer to see the movements of your hands?

[@thechefsmartypants]

Great feedback! we will definitely do that. Thanks for subscribing!

[@karibrock876]

I still don't understand what that thing was she didn't sharpen her knife with? But it made that cool sound. Never seen one of those before.

[@thechefsmartypants]

It's called a honing steel, it's for using in-between sharpenings. All chefs use them! Thanks for subscribing!

[@EmmaLukis-u4z]

I’m so excited you have a channel now! What is your favorite brand of Chef knife?

[@thechefsmartypants]

Thanks for subscribing! I love @zwilling and @hedleyandbennett

[@deeswormstedt6389]

Hi chef! Coming from IG. For the hand that is holding the food is the knife resting on the knuckle or the flesh between the joints?

[@thechefsmartypants]

On the flat bone between the joints. Thanks for subscribing!

[@avatuffley]

Are there any knife brands you particularly recommend? thanks :)

[@susanstover7178]

Now that you have a KZbin channel, maybe you can delve into how to make a good beef stew. 66 years old and I cannot make a beef stew to save my life😳… always turns out too dry..😞

[@thechefsmartypants]

Excellent suggestion! I'll add to the shoot list for a future episode. Thanks for subscribing!
