[@lynnblaircurrens9097]

My Virgin Kitchen why don’t u do one by the great Mary berry x

[@hiitshannah9171]

You should try a Bon Appetit gourmet recipe :)

[@nicolehale1080]

Omg I know who makes the best croquembouche! He's an Australian chef called Adriano Zumbo! He has a series on Netflix called "zumbos just desserts" you should make his!

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

My Virgin Kitchen Next time, try filling them with 50/50 custard and whipped cream. (cream on the outside to keep the custard in.)😉

[@mb19841000]

On your website there is missing ingredient - water ;( don't know amount of water I need to add...

[@raatomieli4204]

I think the most legendary Croquembouche is by Adriano Zumbo. Highly recommend checking that dude anyway if you haven't already. He's a living legend.

[@hails875]

Raatomieli he’s from my home town in Australia

[@raatomieli4204]

I would love to visit Australia some day. Unfortunately so far my only "contact" with Australia is through tv shows like Masterchef Australia and Big Brother Australia (which are btw the best of their kind when compared to any other country).

[@madnessyoucanhum]

He makes the most amazing desserts. He’s like a real life Willy Wonka. Barry should remake one of his desserts.

[@jase_allen]

It's known as the Great British Baking Show in the US, which airs on PBS. The term "Bake-Off" is trademarked by Pillsbury in the US, so they have to change the name of the show when it airs here.

[@chelseawombats9772]

Jason Allen I always wondered why they changed it here! Thanks for the info!

[@BarbaraReynolds_3336]

I'll admit I started to laugh when you sifted the flour onto the pad and not paper🤣🤣. Paul Hollywood always says to read the recipe through, but once again in real Barry Lewis fashion, you kept it real, which is why I keep watching your video's. Thank you for this, I haven't made chocolate eclairs is so many years that I think I'm going to purchase fresh cream just to make them. Thanks again for keeping it real. Xxxx

[@HomeBrewandGardeningAustralia]

I am in *AWE* of your skills! Brilliant!

[@laurascopel9532]

If you're after series ideas I'd enjoy watching you cook your way through a cookbook!

[@WrestlingwithPaul]

Barry if they ever ask you again to do the Great British Bakeoff then please please accept... would love to see you go all the way...

[@JackW42]

The Wrestling Collection I know right!! I know we don’t know why but I’m amazed an offer to that would be turned down!

[@WrestlingwithPaul]

Jack maybe he might explain in the weekly vlog.... unless it's something personal and private...

[@DaveTugwell]

hes not a celebrity though also that last part is kinda insulting saying he would only do really well against bad cooks basically

[@teridoster5840]

Yes!

[@Metalpug79]

Turned out great, Barry! Love seeing you try recipes that aren’t in your typical comfort zone. Looks like this one paid off nicely! Baking makes me nervous because of how exact you mostly need to be with the directions and ingredients.

[@jamiekash5796]

Love Paul Hollywood! Just finished binging Great British bake-off!! big fan love ya Barry!!

[@frenchfancy]

I watched your video last night, and today I made chocolate eclair's for the very first time! Thank you for making it so easy for me, and giving me the confidence to make them, they came out brilliantly, and I'm chuffed to bits. 🤗🤗🤗

[@verawall3772]

I love these MVK tries recipes, it’s like a sporting event, I’m cheering for you the whole time 😂 definitely high fived my screen, cheers!

[@1angelofthelight2]

Seen a lot of your vids now Barry but I think this is the best one. So easy to follow and very real. x

[@GunkPup]

oh man im SO going to make these!!! they look great!

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Way to go for it! The fear of failure didn't stop you. My inspiration 🤗 and they looked good too 👍😄💚

[@zoeymo89]

I love the great British baking show!!!! You would do great

[@JackieWarner13]

Look into Adriano Zumbo for the croquembouche. He's an Aussie pastry/dessert legend. He's usually on Aussie Masterchef making the contestants do hard dessert challenges & the first ever season on Aussie Masterchef he did the croquembouche for the contestants to remake & made his career skyrocket even more. He has his own stores around the country & has done a few cooking shows.

[@gconnolly2]

Wow amazing job as always xx

[@maplewoodcreations]

These chocolate eclairs are absolutely gorgeous! I must try this recipe some time!

[@BobMonkeypimp]

Alex Cooks Food How do you know those éclairs are gorgeous if you haven't even tried the recipe yet?

[@maplewoodcreations]

Thumbobby I mean they LOOK gorgeous.

[@Cleanaway20]

Oh yes would love to see u on the bake off

[@CrimsxnOniii]

Omg they look AMAZING I will have to try make them! Oh love your videos everything you make looks amazing

[@kaylaa8092]

Use a mixer when adding the eggs it makes it come together way faster. We make these all the time and it helps speed up the process also you don't have to put the flour on a tray first.

[@CrimsxnOniii]

Kemarie Bug thank you!

[@meganbruggema6710]

ZUMBO! He is the croquembouche king!

[@raatomieli4204]

The Dark Lord of the Pastry Kitchen!

[@carveylover]

I was going to say zumbo too. But he is so hard. I mean did you watch Just Desserts and that crazy one he had them make

[@stephaniedean5950]

I agree 100% and Honestly it's not that hard unless you try and do fancy flavors or give yourself an unrealistic time frame. I made one with 160 individual profitore rolls and it took me a day and half. I could have done it in a day but I didn't want the stress

[@kittykaz7161]

It was so long ago but they did one on the first Australian Master Chef. Who set that one?

[@teridoster5840]

@@stephaniedean5950 just a little fyi... it's actually spelled profiteroles. But you're so right, it's really not that difficult to make, just a bit time consuming 😉

[@fnoogernooger]

I'd love to see you try to do a Yule Log! A bit late in the season, but it's really fun to make.

[@CartB0X]

Been so long since ive made these, its so satisfying when they work out too haha

[@alexcrawford6162]

“I’m not a masterbaker” that’s good to know Barry, thanks!

[@miavance2600]

Great video Barry

[@VamosHazard_]

Best food ever ate in your videos

[@tashadavenport2004]

I made these for my catering GCSE. They worked really well. So glad I didn't fail !!!!!

[@lillylane803]

I love chocolate long johns there similar to an eclair but made with donut dough and filled with a custard filling they are amazing

[@ladycake1515]

M&S chocolate eclairs are to die for.... One of the things I long for...

[@SparkyMTB]

This is my guilty pleasure 🤤

[@Ottawa3453]

Barry you legend!

[@evaa.333]

that high-five was really fun to do haha And also, those eclairs look absolutely delicious and I'm definitely gonna make them sometime.

[@ClareAngel78]

Totally love your videos you’re the only cooking channel that I watch on KZbin because you don’t just cook but everything and you are funny as feck 😂

[@neoandlykkecat]

This looks amazing. Thanks Barry. You should check out the swirl poop mold from Ro Pansino baking line. I think you will love it. Hugs from Norway.

[@ogeleazar]

Love the show. So glad Netflix has it

[@ALYG139]

Great video barry im loving your new cook book i have them both now oh yehhhhh !!!!!!! Cant wait to make these yummy yummy they are definately going in my tummy lol x keep up the good work barry x hi to becky and phoebe and chloe xxx

[@crabbycrab9955]

Barry! Use your Taco-Truck when filling them! Looks gorgeous. I wanna try these out. The blue eyed silver fox's recipes never fail to deliver!

[@carveylover]

I was taught to use a wooden spoon when making choux pastry. I can't remember for the life of me why.

[@zyborg47]

Me too.

[@teridoster5840]

Me three! Buuut I was told it's to guard against temperature fluctuations when mixing to keep the dough at a constant temp, as metal starts out quite cold (shocking the dough), then can get very hot

[@cosmicjenny4508]

Oh God. Barshens should do a Bake Off type of episode. Keep Eli away from the knives.

[@JadeTaylor1994]

My favourite.. I get so scared making choux.. Will deffo have a go at this

[@Nob0dy420]

I'd love to see you try and make a solero Barry.

[@bearheart2009]

A blueberry one!

[@The_Beverage_Stand]

going to second this, could be pretty cool

[@erikapTV]

Adriano zumbo is a famous dessert chef here in Australia. He does an amazing croquembouche tower!!

[@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews]

You are the biggest master baker.

[@ancagheorghicianu1700]

I like very much !

[@Omnishredder]

My favourite way to add in cream to an eclair is shove it up it's back side and a neat trick is to then plug with a small piece of pastry and icing sugar to really make the last bite the best... As the side way of cutting makes it feel more like a doughnut (not the one you pipe jam inside, but the ones you add cream and jam down the middle... And probably end up with a dab of cream on your nose with)

[@sophianaqvi3697]

Omg i want éclairs niw that is my fave dessert.. Gave u a high 5. Well done mate

[@akanesaotome5924]

I think Paul Hollywood was once a guest star in polish edition of Bake off :) Those Eclairs looks so good

[@mrbarrylewis]

quite possibly!

[@thegrluknew]

Barry. What kind of countertops are these? I know it's wood. But o see you putting hot stuff on them. I would like to do the same in my tiny home. Thanks in advance. Hope to hear from you. Love your videos and family.

[@elliotjgc]

Be interesting to see you do a video with the sortedfood lot.

[@madnessyoucanhum]

Same! I love SORTED.

[@kaitlynmccoy3474]

Wondering if milk would be an adequate substitute for the heavy cream? Trying to do some fun baking during self quarantine and curious about the substitution!

[@condomssold77]

I love cream sticks!!! Thanks for this

[@ronroxyoursox]

Adriano zumbo croquembouche!

[@hammycats6919]

I remember when I first made Choux pastry, the smell was terrible and thought I did it wrong, but apparently I was told this was normal. 🙁 I will never forget that smell, I can't even describe it as it was that bad. However I was pleased when they were cooked and had cream and chocolate added turned out delicious. 🤩👍

[@evecottom9966]

I love Paul Hollywood's recipes. I've tried eclairs twice. The first time okay but the second time was a complete disaster. Think i will have to try this with my son.

[@mrbarrylewis]

awesome, yeah the steps were perfect

[@TheOriginalBULK]

I would love to see you try and Emeril Lagasse recipe for maybe like gumbo or something

[@amandawright1372]

Hi Barry. Have you heard of Japanese Jiggly Cake? Any chance you could do this as part of your MVK’s Tries series? Would be interested to see you have a go at it.

[@EJayNine]

Hell yeah, we nailed that high five

[@DulciePhoenix]

I’d love to see you try a Levi Roots recipe, any one you like!

[@mjc0961]

I misheard "I'm not a master baker" and was very confused for a moment 🤣

[@punky19761]

🤣😂🤣😂🙃😁🤣😂

[@erinmac6988]

Would love to see Barry try to follow a full Thanksgiving style turkey dinner. Maybe a Martha Stewart guide. It would be a long video, but it would be great!

[@Zombi3xSwayy]

Howdy Barry you should do a recipe by Adriano Zumbo! He's a master desert chef and it would be so fun to see you try something by him. Thanks!

[@ladysaskiadebruijn7153]

please make somsthing from Adriano Zumbo. also hin crocanbuch is amazing. love you channel

[@tonicattell4692]

I love eclairs 😘

[@mrbarrylewis]

Me toooooooo yummy

[@emilyc9676]

Adriano Zumbo makes a really good croquembouche. He usually adds a twist to it making it his own style,​ but they are all amazing and you should really check him out.

[@lottiedoyle2853]

Michel Roux Jr. Seems to stick in my head as someone who makes a good Croquembouche. I'd love to see you try Nigellas Grasshopper pie 😊

[@joannegray5138]

Chocolate, whipped cream and Paul Hollywood - my idea of a fun weekend. Have you ever thought about doing a bakeoff type thing on the Barshens channel? I can see all kinds of hilarity there :)

[@aidanryan8956]

Barry please go on the great bake off. You would be the best

[@Computer0111196]

Had a go at making these and they were quite flat didn't rise really so had to put two together to make one. I will have another go at the weekend. I think I may not of used a piping nozzle that was big enough possibly.

[@MrsTipsymcfiddles]

Ohhhh yum... well done barry... cant wait for kitkat lasange. Maybe next week 👀😂❤

[@zyborg47]

I have not made choux pastry for years and after watching this I now remember why. But good job.

[@megancrombie5682]

You should bake alongside bake-off. Like doing the challenge every week or something!

[@lassievision]

Note to self: high-fiving the video pauses it on a touchscreen

[@gagne6928]

Liar

[@anndownsouth5070]

Yeah, hugging or kissing it (different show) does the same thing.

[@horrorfirst5038]

Yummy. How on earth do you stay so slim when you make so many delicious things. I'd be the size of a small town lol. Great video love your channel 👍

[@juliemckendrick3111]

Hi Barry , would love to see you try make my favourite , Vanilla Custard Slices x.

[@Hugin-N-Munin]

Also known as the 'snot block'. Truly a marvelous treat that one. Are you a 'passionfruit icing', 'stripy icing' or 'plain white icing' type of person?

[@juliemckendrick3111]

only tried the plain icing .

[@teganclarkson377]

Adriano Zumbo is an iconic Australian dessert chef which has plenty of recipes including a croquembouche.

[@KNIGHTOFBLOOD69]

Paul is my idol! After you, of course.

[@thomasalexander7374]

How long did you leave until “tepid”?

[@catriziacat1756]

Yumm

[@synthiaperkins3686]

Please do the Great British Bakeoff!

[@SuperbeastOR]

2:06 nice Marry Poppins reference.

[@rainbow2473]

You need to look up Adriano Zumbo for croquembouche his are amazing :)

[@funnylizzie87]

adriano zumbo does the best croquembouche look him up he is an Australian pastry chef.

[@kennedyritchie8682]

Barry I'd love to see you try and make a croquembouche!! Maybe with flavored creme puffs instead of the plain vanilla!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah I really want to try one!

[@kennedyritchie8682]

My Virgin Kitchen I've only made one once, and it turned out quite smaller than I expected. My caramel got too hard and they wouldn't stack any higher 😭

[@wendyhamilton2279]

Adriano Zumbo is a great pastry chef. He’s Australian

[@BeansInThePark]

The part that baffled me was slicing the side open to fill it. I was always taught to fill an eclair from the end, and all the ones I’ve ever seen have been filled from the end, so is this something new???

[@DeaconTaylor]

droool. fresh eclairs...

[@alana-jobrown2433]

Can you do this recipe again but a giant version. I feel like it would be awesome and you could do it.

[@LynetteBunBun]

ive heard that the best croc and boush is made by Adriano Zumbo

[@akantiia]

I'd love to see you take on the Cajun Steak, Smoky baked beans and Collared Greens from the 15 minute meals book by Jamie Oliver 8D

[@mikaylasweet2537]

Adrian Zumbo is a well known pastry chef from Australia and had amazing creations you should check his stuff out

[@keriezy]

🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫 I love chocolate!

[@chillaxter13]

Should've been stuffed with a cream and custard mix... But still, great job! Can't wait to try this!

[@gingerleegirl6697]

You would think that after all these videos, you would have learned to read the instructions prior to attempting anything. Eclair looks delicious.

[@zantanzuken]

i like how the hardest part of this is simply the dough of the pastry itself, makes you wonder if you could do it more simply by substituting, but i guess then it wouldn't be an eclair so to speak... ALSO WE DIDN'T GET TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BRITISH BAKE OFF STORY! i was curious...

[@queenconvertible]

For the Corqeunbush I would do Martha stewarts. Ans as far as other recipes. Do Juial Childs Beff Burboniong, or maybe one of Frannie Cradock's recipes.

[@3212009a]

I'd love to see him to his version of a rôti sans pareil.

[@elaindafydd9100]

Can you make any marry berry recipe ?

[@taylorcarter831]

How about a mini croquembouche Barry? 😂😂 That would be a proper challenge

[@mrbarrylewis]

lol!

[@Co0kieHuNteRzZ]

Hey Barry, I think you've mistaken silicone baking paper with non-stick baking paper when sieving the flour on. The idea is that its easier to pour the flour into the pan and it won't stick to the baking paper like yours did! I hope this helps. :)

[@MrScotttraynor]

on the eclair front, maybe getting one of those "turkey stuffer" sized syringe, filling it with filling, and fill the eclair the normal way, instead of a pastry bag, and not slitting the side?
