one thing I like about Emma is that she's really creative about video ideas. what kind of booktuber does agatha christie mystery solving vids, hiking vlogs, and now cooking videos? a great kind, that's what.

[@danii6633]

My favorite so far is the one where Emma gives book recommendations off her daties stories. That one's so SO good. She's a great storyteller and the stories are hilarious (sorry Emma)

[@danii6633]

daties = dating

[@oluwabukolaashaye4982]

Sure is👌

[@pendragon2012]

Emma: "You're probably wondering why I'm dressed this way." Me: "No, that's pretty much how I imagine you!" Great video as always!

[@khalilahd.]

Oh my goodness I love this idea!! I once tried to make the Turkish delight from the chronicles of Narnia when I was a kid and it did NOT go well 😂

[@Rara-zm2ps]

That's so cute! ☆

[@emmiereads]

I was obsessed with the turkish delight from that movie when I was younger too! I wanted to try it so badly haha

[@Cubehead27]

I think my parents made some a couple times when I was a kid but they're better cooks than me so it was quite good

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

I just tried to make that dessert too! It was a flop LOL gonna try to make Turkish Delight again!

[@vaibhavi.singh.]

Hello again Khalilah

[@piyu2764]

Can I say that I'm sincerely looking forward to the next episode of "kitchen disaster"? But Emma, this was such a creative idea and I loved (and laughed throughout) the entire video ❤️ Let's take a moment to appreciate Emma's energy to brighten our days ❤️

[@ratsteaparty]

Never watched you before but this was thoroughly enjoyable beginning to end, 10/10 would recommend, never step foot in a kitchen again please 🥰

[@rae9077]

Emma, I have to say you made me laugh and I really needed it today! I was surprised you got the results you did with the flan. It looked much better and more like a flan than I thought it would. Bread would have worked much better than the tortillas to thicken your Greek dish.The thing is, all the mistakes you make when beginning to cook teach you so much! Also get yourself a nice set of measuring spoons and cups! Read the recipe before you go get all the ingredients. Substitutions can be made but it helps in baking especially, to have a little experience before you try. I love the fun spirit you bring to your videos- and the more moody ones, too. Thanks so much for your book recommendations, too.

[@ahappyfrenchtoast2669]

Kitchen Princess truly saved me. I had a really dark and rough childhood and reading Kitchen Princess when I was 15 (now I'm 23) helped me go through it. It was a devastating and beautiful read in every way. I really loved the chapter where Najika made Akane a low-calorie and healthy desert, it was the most heartwarming one and I couldn't stop shedding tears over Najika's sincerity. Also, your flan looked great! I don't like cooking either :) so I can really relate to it. I'm so happy that you went out of your comfort zone and you tried out the cookings in the manga!

[@caerrie]

Emma this is too funny, i'm sorry to ask this of you but more episodes of this are an absolute must! Personally I enjoy cooking (sometimes) but I'm rarely really good at it so it's so cathartic to see others face the horror of it not only not looking like the recipe, but coming out a completely different state of matter :I And the flan didn't look half bad! Plus i've found that making the vegan version of traditional dishes is often way more complex, so you can give yourself a pat on the back!

[@RachelECartwright]

I was literally about to say I think it is supposed to be pinkish when the blade fell in. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a loooong time!

[@emmiereads]

😂

[@indianofiadamae2212]

in brazil we call it "pudim". It's really common here, you should search for pudim recipies

[@cristalnotreed6221]

Actually pudim it's a little bit different in consistency, but I personally like it better 🇧🇷

[@NathFBrito]

flan and pudding are two completely different things both in texture and in ingridients. they both rock tho!

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

[@smoothielover07]

I love how creative you are, Emma! This video was great 😊

[@argyrxs1640]

As someone who grew up eating flan (and having made it at some point in my childhood), this was such a fun video to watch 💖 Definitely reminded me of making flan with friends. Thank you so much for this video, Emma! 💖

[@hyemiyah]

aaaaaaah! this is so funny and endearing at the same time. also, congratulations on 300k. thank you for always lifting up my mood with your lovely videos ♡♡♡

[@timaxavier]

I really admire you for taking the job of cooking even if you don't like to do it or not exactly well-versed in it. Your commentary was impeccable. It didn't seem to go so well in the end, but I hope you at least had some fun with the experience. I think you get some points from me at least for the effort and for just trying!

[@plumfable]

I loveeed kitchen princess when I was little, I remember staring at the recipe pages in awe and wanting my mom to make it for me loll :,) you’re living my childhood dreams

[@chelseaseashell22]

How much you wanna bet Emma's partner was in the adjacent room shoving his face in a pillow to stifle his laughter as he listened to this disaster unfolding? This absolutely made my day, Emma (mostly because I related to the struggle, LOL), so thanks for putting yourself through that for us

[@zeinareads4978]

[@beloved_giselle]

I love kitchen princess so much🤎 when I saw the title I literally smiled so much. This was such a wonderful video! Can't wait to see more! I need to continue to read the manga!

[@michaelgarcia2973]

Hi Emmie ..i made some salmorejo recipe from Cordoba Spain from a youtube video and by the way there is a song from Spain from Jose Luis Perales Hoy me acorde de ti and it reads like a book with beautiful background music and he says that although he is now happily married he can't seem to forget his first love but the sound of the rain has left him Lonely..a very beautiful song from Spain. ..

Ive been saving this and im so glad i did, this was the perfect feel good video after hearing some bad news 💖

[@tamiwu5812]

The very first time I learnt to cook something, like serious wanted to make something, I felt it was completely science like you did, haha and I also failed. And I really felt you when you said Gordon would murder you. But as it always be, practice would make perfect! And btw, I really enjoy every time you sharing books you read and your vlogs of your life!

[@readiculousreads4164]

It's because baking *is* science. It's chemistry! Cooking allows for a lot more room for error than baking. 😅

[@anakarenr.5871]

I've only ever made flan on the stove, so I was afraid for a second until I saw you went for a refrigerated recipe lol honestly if you got the right consistency that's a win already, it's easier to modify the flavor!

Hi! First time I comment on your videos, but i do love the content... can I give you some tips? first, for the flan, on the mixture you can add some vanilla ectract to highlight the flavor, so you never have another bland flan, and you can use other ingridients for the sauce, like liquid chocolate , that way maybe you can enjoy all parts. And for the Taramasalata, if you dont have a dropper, you can use a tea spoon, so that way you can drop the liquid. The Taramasalata is an emulsion, so, the bread give the texture of the dish, since gluten thicks it, you shouldn´t leave the onions, you should process the onion (no more than half a medium one) and then use the water, so i´ll be softher on your stomach, finally since it´s an emulsion, you pour little by little the olive oil so i´ll be creamy. I hope you have a better experience next time, don´t give up on cooking. It´s really fun. Your video made me want to read the manga! (sorry about my english!) Greetings from México.

[@kathy2539]

Emma you can cook, see! Well done you! I would suggest using another sugar instead of coconut sugar, maybe brown sugar which is very good for carmelising. As to your second dish, perhaps the dried bread makes a difference, bread actually soaks up liquid, tortilla perhaps doesn't work in the same way! As to the taste, can't help you with that but do keep trying-very fun to watch! By the way cooking is trial and error, you need to find what works for you.

[@MegHanSolo1138]

I think if you ever wanted to try the flan again you could try with either just making a caramel from sugar or brown sugar! also, fun fact, agar is what we use to solidify the media in petri plates to grow bacteria! Its also used in cuisine fairly frequently (Japanese raindrop cakes!)

"I thought I had stale bread but instead stale bread started growing mold, which is just rude." It is SO rude! This one (and perhaps the only) time I decided to give dear cooking a shot (all thanks to anime!) and was searching for a bowl of yogurt, didn't find any, and gave up. I liked to entertain the thought that the universe didn't like me cooking, and gave up. *sighs

[@TheAppleDream11]

Actually, there's a type of tarama that is yellow-ish/white just like yours, it depends on the type of the eggs- most homemade taramas are yellow and pink taramosalatas are usually store-bought. So, trying a vegan version is quite bold and I think you did your best

I love to cook and this actually went pretty well, I'm not vegan, but when I try to make vegan recipes oh man, the consistency and flavors really do change, so you need to be really familiar with the ingredients and how they react to each other.

This is so much fun !! I love when books feature food. It always makes me want to try it but I’ve never actually thought of making it myself !! One time me and my mom made flan but instead of making it into tiny little cups like you’re supposed to we made one giant flan. When we went to flip it and put it on a plate it slipped off the plate and fell on the floor so we weren’t able to actually eat it :((

[@veritygazzard7210]

I've been waiting for this video yesss Emma I'm so proud!!! Just a quick recommendation: I've just started reading 'Inherit the Wind' by Jerome Lawrence for school. I'm only half way through but it's an incredibly interesting court room drama based on the real life arrest of a young school teacher in the US that happened in the 50s for his teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution instead of the creation. I know you aren't the biggest fan of reading plays (neither am I!) but so far, so good. If you like To Kill a Mockingbird I think you'd find this really fascinating. Anyway sorry for the ramble - I'm in awe of you doing this video you promised so long ago. xxxx
