Thank you Chef!!

[@therealzlamz9764]

Hey, Chef. I think Uncle Roger would like it if you review his new song he put out about Jamie Oliver 😂. It is so funny and would make a great reaction video.

[@johnflores3103]

Enjoying your videos. I even saved some of your recipe videos. At first, thinking that you were a chef the recipes would be so "chefy" and I wouldn't be able to do it. But then I watched the bread pudding video and saw how simple you made things to be. Also, any improvement on Kay's part is always a good sign. Jack is a hopeless case...

[@JohnInTheShelter]

Yes, Kay is better than Jack. But Uncle Roger gives too much weight to Kay using a non-metal spoon. I think he recognizes she is capable of learning--something the better cooks he looks at don't seem to do very often. Or maybe he just wants to be nice, so she doesn't take it so seriously.

[@skibidi.G]

Looking good, Chef chief. Keep it up 👍

[@katarinafiebelkorn8171]

At least Kay tries and tries to improve her cooking and doesnt give up. Which is a lot more than i can say for Jack!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😂 hahaha

[@sunilbhagv]

Or Jamie

[@realdragon]

It doesn't matter where you start really because everybody is bad at the beginning. Improvement is important

[@St0rmTheGates]

True. We all start at different levels, but if Kay keeps putting the work in, her meals will improve and her family will appreciate it

[@NoahMotion1970]

There is no contest; Kay is leaps and bounds better than Jack. Jack eats RAW chicken and ROTTEN brisket. And doesn’t even care that he’s doing it! Disgusting. And dangerous. At least Kay knows when food has gone BAD.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I feel like Kay's less teaching other people how to cook and more documenting her own journey toward being a better cook. Looking at her channel in general, she may still have a long way to go but she's definitely better than when she started.

[@dkoda840]

Agreed seems like a lady who wants to cook good food and trying her best to do other foods.

[@Moco78]

Im happy for kay, this fried rice is better than the other two she made, she actually learns from her mistakes.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Looks like it!

[@LabTech41]

Yeah, with cooking, there's nothing wrong with making a mistake, so long as you learn from it and make steady improvements. It's the people like Jamie Oliver, who you'd think would know better, and who intentionally ruin solid dishes because they want to get inventive that are lost causes, because that's not a training issue, it's a discipline issue.

[@hirotakasugi4891]

watch her revert back

[@vinsane7835]

Awesome reaction as usual, really hoping you and uncle Roger collab soon!

[@GTSE2005]

Kay of all people surpassing Jamie Oliver is the biggest plot twist. Also, I love how Uncle Roger's joke in an earlier video about Kay's fried rice attempts being like Goldilocks and the Three Bears turned out to be kind of true

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@jordan-the-hound2323]

Wow, you're right about the Goldilocks joke. What are the odds?

[@tice7217]

uncle roger and kay relationship is like a father watching his daughter learning to cook

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@recurse]

I felt legitimately uplifted by Uncle Roger's review of Kay's this attempt at fried rice, it ended on a sweet note. I was excited to see your review pop up in my feed, I love your reactions to Uncle Roger. You add a lot of value 😁 . Imagine, though, Kay made something edible! There's hope for our species yet.

[@diane9247]

There's something endearing about Kay. I won't use her recipes, but she deserves a nice channel and the extra money it might bring. I think that was her son, by the way.

[@saundralacey53]

Kay's a work in progress (like us all!). Jack tries to poison you 😂

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@johnnysinssexmaster]

can't believe some people still watch jack the clown's videos

[@reginarainer9740]

I really like Kay, she’s a very sweet woman who has been slowly improving her cooking. It’s really delightful to see Uncle Roger review her again and be kind with her.

[@1lagarti]

She’s a sweet lady take it easy on her. She’s doing her best and improving!!! We all start somewhere. She’s so cute, eggy 🍳.

[@Samantha-qj9wq]

Lee is ALWAYS the one who tries Kay's "end product"s. Lee is her son, and he almost always gives it a thumbs up, too. He's a sweet son.

[@aelere7702]

Uncle Roger and Kay should do a collab where he watches her cook it and helps her

[@DarthTagnan69]

it would be cool for Chef Makinson to do a Collaboration with Kay! I would totally watch that!

[@DarthTagnan69]

Go Kay! While not fully correct, she did much better this time than last. I hope she tries again by getting all of the ingredients in the correct order, and not adding water. Cooking is a learning process. We all get better with time.

[@bridgetrodriguez4643]

Good on Kay for not giving up and trying to improve. She seems like a sweet lady

[@_strangeways_]

Kay is such a good sport, I love her willingness to learn and unlearn.

[@peterflom6878]

It's hard to totally blame Kay for following a bad recipe

[@katieb_]

Yes, please review Kay’s paella. Kindly consider to highlight both, bad and good, things! I was scared to make paella for years - I think Kay’s attempt & your advices may give me a courage to try it

[@HoshikoStarz]

I love how Uncle Roger crank you up on the eggy part

[@CoolJay77]

Entertaining. She's improved enough to cook in a hospital kitchen. Edit: Just noticed you beat Brian Tsao by 30 minutes in reacting to the same video. LOL

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

really?!? 🤣

[@yoshi6421]

Brian reacted to the 2nd fried rice video, not the 3rd. He's still 1 video behind in torturing Frenchie with the brown mushy peas 😂

[@timothy4664]

Kay is either so genuine and honest or the greatest troll of all time. Either way, she is adorable

[@jazzyx8968]

If you want a bottle with a small opening to pour faster swirl the comtents inside while you pour. The whirlpool looking shape bottoms out and allows air to get in the bottle while also allowing the liquid to flow out. So you no longer have to deal with that glug glug kind of feeling. 9:00

Or just, y'know, pop the shaker top off the bottle when you need to pour.

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

I was away for the holidays, but I'm back to watch videos. It is nice to see the improvement on Kay's side because it has gotten better, it's like watching an arc of a tv show. Also I agree I do think Kay is better than Jack lol. Hope your holidays were well, thanks for the video!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your holidays!

[@pomptonqueen]

This is lightyears ahead of the burnt garlic and raw rice that I saw in her first fried rice video. So nice to see Kay improving.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

true!

[@yellowbudgie3132]

If I was in the pan like the peas, I would jump out too 😂😂😂

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Hahaha 😂

[@Culperistic]

I can't think of a better message for the New Year than striving for improvement. Thanks for the reaction

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

No problem!!

[@LisaL87]

Thanks for the review!❤ This is a Perfect example of why so called chefs should not be putting out bad recipes. She was looking up how to improve her cooking and wound up following a really bad video . Starting with the peas and carrots and ending with the egg just mixed right in? Yipes! Wonder who put that video out?

[@moonstarry6214]

I’m so happy for Kay. She made something that’s edible. It may have been a bit backwards (and shouldn’t have added the water) and cooked a bit long, but it was a VAST improvement over her other tries. I think she used a bit of Rice-a-Roni in there, but still a fantastic attempt and improvement.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Rice-a-Roni haha

[@PotLid6661]

To be honest , you can put anything everything , even water in fried rice . Just cook it on big fire and make sure your pan is well seasoned then everything will turn out right. Basically the key of a good fried rice is to dry the rice

[@stumpydog87]

This surely has to be a send-up. I would like to see Kay do a legit cooking video.

[@krisdan76]

Bless her heart Kay!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yep!

[@Skootavision]

Its like Uncle Roger has been watching James and decided to be kinder - like WWJD or 'what would James do'. Kay is a proper working-class Mum 'having a go' and is improving

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

maybe! he was a lot of informational hahahaha 😂

[@AnimeLover069]

He's always been nice to Kay...But yeah she is a real 'home cook' and she has been improving and Uncle Roger has acknowledged that. Love the combo of you three!

[@TnT_F0X]

10:15 I believe that the splash was to de-glaze the pan... but she was frying wet cooked ingredients so there was nothing to de-glaze Recipes will say to use Rice Wine but if you dont have it broth or water... just use the wine it adds flavor!

[@YouDonkeyfu]

The thing with kay cooking is i find it more of a means of her documentating her cooking journey. You donr listen or follow her recipes but you look to her as an motivation to get better every day

[@abhinavpandey6504]

Just came here after Uncle Roger's song..🤣🤣 He's getting better with every review he does. You also james doing remarkably well. Love your videos.

[@sakinoru4557]

That notification sound actually took me by surprise because I have Galaxy as well and for a second I was "Huh? Don't I have it on mute?" 😂

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣🤣

[@scientistservant]

Really proud of Kay! She’s getting better and better it seems!

[@Alcc2068]

Huge improvement to Kay. Definitely 3rd times the charm. At least she knew not to add the chili jam and the water insert didn't seem to extreme as JO. I don't know if anyone would actually put tap water into cooking though as I'm fearful and if I do insert a little water, I use filter.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😉

[@katroyal6309]

You've got to give a huge amount of credit to Kay. She's obviously read the comments on her videos. She didn't get upset or defensive. She didn't let the comments affect her overall self esteem. What she did do is take the criticisms to heart and took the advice given to her. She is willing to learn and try again until she gets it right. People may dig on her for using prepared garlic but its an obvious reaction to the comments on her chopping ability. She recognized it as a weakness that was not likely to be quickly resolved and found a solution. May not be ideal for a pro chef, butbit worked for her. I wouldn't be surprised if a 4th fried rice video came along soon that is actually a very decent fried rice. She's got a good arc.

[@falconwind00]

[@Skullman11111]

My mother used to live in indonesia so we eat a lot of nasi goreng( indonesian fried rice with egg). And i absolutely love it. With a really good sambal makes it even better

[@JerseyAir]

Honestly you deserve more subs. Great content!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I appreciate that!

[@kittyr6534]

11:12 it’s not just the peas that don’t look nice - the carrots have also been getting paler and soggier the longer they’re cooked.

[@Gogettor]

I found out the other day some time ago some people said Brian Tsao and James copied each other (false) but I love both channels showed Kay and different iterations of the rice. YES!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

We are the only two really doing this, but we have different styles :)

[@Gogettor]

@@ChefJamesMakinson dude, I was surprised when Brian brought it up (and dismissed it) in a podcast episode recently. Your styles are completely different that I couldn’t believe that was ever an issue. Love your style! Keep it up James!

[@jonbolton3376]

Another issue that I have with lazy garlic is that it's usually preserved in vinegar, and that dominates the taste. I like vinegar, but not when i want to taste garlic😋.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

Most minced garlic in jars around here is in water with citric acid for the preservative. Does result in slightly lemony garlic.

[@laurarosa3924]

Ahhh Makinson, you have the most soothing voice! I enjoy your reaction videos. I like your sweater too.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!

[@soniclyqaulan]

you know i really appreciate kay for actually learning and fixing her cooking!! not like some people 😅

[@gamdanyunizar7849]

I never knew the culinary world can be so entertaining, what a time to be alive.

[@GleeChan]

I think Kay made Rice-a-Roni rice with left over veggies and baked chicken. That's my guess anyway. I mean, it works, but I wouldn't call it egg fried rice, just using your left overs well.

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

But isnt that what Egg Fried Rice is for anyways? To use leftovers?

[@fredsmith5782]

I’m just glad she is slowly getting better at cooking. There is a progression unlike cooking with Jack.

[@Jerepasaurus]

Honestly, her videos remind me of when I was a kid, trying to cook by myself the first few times, unsupervised, and not just microwaving. I made a lot of goofy mistakes, but by the age of 13, I could cook a whole thanksgiving turkey and a few side dishes all by myself for the family! And my big sister, an EXCELLENT cook, was never able to recreate how moist and juicy and flavorful that turkey actually was. lol (The secret was about 1 pound of butter and unreasonable amounts of seasonings I loved abusing; garlic (fresh), garlic powder, onion powder, sage, rosemary (fresh sprigs from our shrub), pepper, paprika, thyme, parsley, celery seed, lemon pepper, salt... and I forget what else.) lol

[@Pinkalicious112]

Lee actually seemed genuine with his thumbs up this time. Kay is leveling up!!!

🤣 haha

[@Mark-nh2hs]

My goodness you have a sponsor 👍 if you had one in the past I must of missed it 😂. The sweetcorn thing is spot on. I was doing the same facial expression when she said it was the final product 😅 With jar garlic they also in some add vinegar to it and it tastes wrong lol. Fresh is best I was years ago taught by a Chef you had to always remove the internal stem part of the garlic the Germ. I still do it but I've seen many who do not so whether this is an old Chef tale or there some evidence to it I never really checked out 😂

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

He has had some sponsors, but very rarely.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Hey Mark! I have had a few but it has been a few months. I do remove the internal stem as most of the time my garlic is sprouting! haha

Can we please see the Kay Paella video! She's not fantastic, but she does learn and she's so sweet with how she tries. I will never eat her cooking, but they are hilarious video orders are 3, 2 ,1. At least this one won't kill her poor child

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I will take a look!

[@Leichtzumerken]

He did not taste the second fried rice. He comitted suicide but got resurrected by Kay to taste the food this time. it's his purgatory

[@rianamohamed300]

Pro tip: with garlic (and ginger) always always always use them fresh. Not only does the flavour disapate with the pre crushed, it also gets a really nasty aftertaste. For someone used to good food, they will be really sensitive to this. That is the secret as to why my curries are amazing. I only use fresh fresh fresh.

[@deanolium]

It also only takes a minute to finely chop garlic once you know what you're doing with relatively basic knife skills. I get that people are busy and all, but unless you're doing huge batches of food where you need to finely chop a whole bulb of garlic, you don't even save that much time using lazy garlic.

[@GuppyCzar]

More Kay! She's just so wholesome :)

[@annieworroll4373]

Lee's shown much more enthusiasm about this meal than most of his moms cooking. This doesn't look like great fried rice, but it does look like it might be a tasty rice dish

I am from Spain and I am a guy who doesn't like paella at all (but I like arrós negre), so I suggest you see the paella video. It is always nice to see a video from someone from Spain saying things like "this paella is horrible"

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'll check it out!

[@TMD_Awake]

I love your reaction and addition to these! Did yea see Uncle Rogers disstrack? Maybe you should!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

not yet! :)

[@Monochromatic_Spider]

I agree, add the peas last. After you're done eating and are cleaning the scraps into the organic waste bin, to be exact. The compost pile positively loves them. Still, got to hand it to Kay. Unlike certain people, she's improving from horror show to creator of things that are edible if you're sufficiently hungry and/or drunk. Though I was today years old when I learned that "eggy" is how you refer to eggs in polite conversation. Note to anyone curious: Overstuffed pan + eggy (because who doesn't like a bit of eggy?) equals eggy slush if cooked sufficiently, with some risk of undercooked eggy snot if you don't get the temperature high enough all the way through. Moral of the story, don't be lazy, impatient, and/or drunk when deciding that your random fry-up needs a bit of egg. Fry up, plate, then fry eggs, then add eggs on top.

[@eranshachar9954]

She made me laugh so much when she said "Eggy" like we in kindergarten. This one is the best EFR that she has made, the 2nd one is 2nd place for me because the Rice was cooked and the 1st is last place because it should be wiped out from memory. And no her son didn't taste the 2nd attempt because she felt it's so much better. Kay is such a lovely person so it's hard to be mad at her.

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

This definitely is so much better than her first two, and especially was quite considerably better than what can be done by both Jamie and jack also.

[@RitsukiCat]

Kay do be redeeming herself with this chicken fried rice! there's a really big improvement from the last two she did before and that's why you never give up, despite the criticism. Sure there's still a long way to go until she make a really good fried rice, but this one is really good in all honesty. I'm personally proud of her to continue and improve the previous recipes she did on videos, it's a proof that she's ready for everything to make it good!

[@generaltim494]

Housen sauce , soy sauce, with gochujang paste (I might of had some kimchi in it cause it was more korean themed) makes a good base for fried rice (I even got a stamp of a approval from my 101 yr old grandma even tho I did the egg part wrong ... I was working with 1 arm in a sling tho at time)

[@Cesiaj]

To be fair, we sometimes put a splash of water if the rice is too dry coz relying on soy sauce alone may make the fried rice too salty. But a splash and a pour are two different things. 😅

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

I think the last time he ate the uncooked rice 😂it might have been breakfast, he thought it was cereal

[@annastasia.1]

I mean when it comes to Kay it's not about cooking the meal the right way, traditional way, or using the right ingredients. It's about the food being eatable, not burned, raw or undercooked. Honestly, I don't know how a woman her age knows this little about cooking. Anyway, she's a sweetheart and seems to enjoy cooking, I just wish she had someone to help her, to teach the basics.

[@ApolloAlto]

Baby steps, even though it's far from perfect I think it was nice for Uncle Roger to congratulate Kay's progress! Gotta agree about the peas, though, they were starting to look pretty sad by the end - though I'll take the packet rice over completely unprepped hard rice any day. ALSO, fun content idea: You could use Google Forms and have fans/subscribers either submit a picture or two of their own finished dishes OR pictures of their kitchens that you could react to on a KZbin Live stream or an edited video (or both if the live stream also becomes an edited video) could be some fun chef & food-related engagement to see what fantastic or nightmarish submissions pop up. Just an idea I figured could be repeatable if you ever needed/wanted new things to react to!
