@@breannanorthrup5498 I'm angry at her privileged-ass coworkers more so than the company itself. They could have told her what they were earning so she could ask for the same, but they didn't and all the while they treated her like a scullery maid. Truth is they're only out for themselves or thought maybe they deserve more to begin with either because they are men, or their mommy and daddy sent them to Harvard (Claire).

If anyone from NYT cooking is reading the comments, here's some feedback: The audio quality needs to be much much better. People tune in to shows like this to hear the cook/chef talk and to listen to the satisfying sounds of sizzling, chopping, frying, etc. You need to give them better audio equipment!! Your recruitment is diverse and amazing but your production is not doing them any justice. The quality of the videos are inconsistent even within your own channel. Some videos do a wonderful job with their audio quality, others sound like they were recorded with a cell phone and have a lot of distracting background noise.

[@hlevin7419]

I agree with you!!!

[@kay60552]

I think this video probably WAS recorded on a cell phone because this is Sohla's apartment. I agree with you though, it was hard to hear, send the girl a clip on mic at least.

[@valho9]

Y'all have to be happy to get a video with decent audio, she probably filmed this herself and doesn't have a whole professional filming crew bts due to covid.

[@meganizm011]

I was just thinking that. NYT could’ve provided her a mic pretty easily...but non the less it was a great video and it’s good to see her again!

[@MatthewWaltonWalton]

This whole video just warms me. I could watch Sohla cooking things she's excited about all day. And now I want a chicken korma sandwich!

I would die for Sohla from the New York Times Cooking channel

So good to see you again, teaching and cooking and sharing bits of your life experiences. Thanks for being you! And, thanks NYT for knowing a good person and great personality when you see one. Anxious for more!

Had the physically worst 2 days of my life in regards to health. Seeing this beautiful energy back online made me so happy ❤️

Sohla gives me life. So skilled, so down to earth, just seems like one hella cool person.

[@briantuma1502]

Sohla is so unpretentious. I love that she actually embraces her past jobs working for chain restaurants.

[@nanoflower1]

Everyone should (and I think all the BA people do) because it's just part of your experience. For good or bad it's part of what made you the person you are today.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

She knows when it's the right time to be pretentious.

Am I the only one who saw a "new" Sohls video, and went into "HOW DARE THEY!" mode....until I realized it was NYT. Good call!

*This being the first video I'm sure the audio quality will get better. Just glad to see her back. Kudos NYT*

[@benjwilliams5104]

Thank youuuuu!! All these people complaining about the audio, like, let's be patient guys this is a transition for Sohla and for NYT. I don't want NYT to regret their decision thinking that the fans who followed Sohla here are going to complain nonstop.

I don't think they hired her, I think this is one of their special guest segments.

Right? Nothing fancy, even a cell phone with a voice recorder near by would work small wonders! I love seeing Sohla, but it's hard to enjoy when it's a struggle to hear :)

Sohla displaying big Auntie energy when she was cutting the fish with that cleaver.

[@chefxela5136]

lol right?

SOMEONE GIVE SOHLA HER OWN SHOW! She deserves it and she's basically the GOAT that was ever on BA. Her and Claire need a show together cause they're both amazing and we love them. Well me and my bestie do!

[@anarchocommentator1786]

I'm glad her career hasn't been ruined by her speaking out, that probably would have happened at most any other point in history. She was always my favorite on BA

[@bookish.calirican]

The automated captions said “wake up your friend chicken” and for some reason it really cracked me up. So happy to see Sohla again!!!

[@just_some_donkus]

Go Sohla!!! I missed this development that you were at NYT, but YT had my back for once and put you in my recommended. NYT editorial staff - the sound is balls. 43k of us are still super stoked on this, but it was hard to listen to. I think we can improve a few things from the production side :) Thank you for your hard work everyone! Wonderful video!

[@nuzhatm]

Sohla, all the Bengalis including me are cheering for you!!! 🥳We are all very proud of you. Korma is one of my favorites too and it’s a staple for me in every Eid. I love when you share stories about your mom and childhood 😄

[@arlenesolis024]

Yeah! It so good to see Sohla. I love her recipes. Keep cooking 🍳 Sohla I’ll keep watching

[@mingkachow1466]

i’m glad to see sohla look so happy and comfortable!!! she’s absolutely adorable 🥺

The audio is super quiet on this one and I kinda wish y'all brought Hunzi to edit this, but seeing Sohla on video again is amazing.

[@pixoariz]

Sohla needs a lav mic. Simple fix.

[@minacd]

Thank you for bringing Sohla back to us! A quick comment: written ingredients/instructions were a bit fast, I know I could watch this at half speed... but it could be something you would want to look into. Cheers from Mexico!

[@amjtexas]

SOHLA!!! I missed you so much. Glad you landed at the NYT where your light can really shine!!

[@samiatasnim8601]

SO glad to see chicken korma in a platform like NYT. Thank you Sohla for representing Bangladeshi foods in mainstream media.

Next to be accused of racism and discrimination is NYT if they don't give her a permanent job and show.

don't pigeonhole her into cooking Bangladeshi food when she wants to cook white food. Why are you profiling her!

[@rickadias]

YES. Sohla is wonderful. Her energy and the way she explains the process is a delight. It's kinda of a perfect mix between pure knowledge from an expert and humbleness from someone who just want more people to cook.

[@carinvandenheever1370]

Sohla! There you are! So good to see you happily cooking away in your kitchen again. Missed the dogs. Good ol' NYT - this is why we love them.

I might be wrong, but I feel like Priya had a role to play in bringing Sohla to NYT. Even if it’s not true, just the idea of one woman of color cheering and helping another like this just brings me so much joy.

I would LOVE a series with those two lovely ladies! They both have such magnetic energies. Love their stories they tell while cooking. They could slap together plain old bologna sandwiches over and over again and I would happily watch.
