[@donalskehan]

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of James! Haha!

[@JoudGhura]

Donal Skehan cool video btw I'm trying to reach 10000 subs subscribe to my channel

[@enjoyinglife9441]

I hope so

[@YuNGiSLANdPRiNCESs]

Donal Skehan you must be psychic o.o one year later and he's on every week now xD

[@ayeshaumar5325]

If only u knew how true ur prediction would turn out to be!! 😍 @donalskehan

[@kristylovesmakeup2986]

Ah this is sad reading this 5 years on and he’s on to pastures new...

[@kadenthi7620]

"Keep your mouth shut, and look hot." Couldn't stop laughing!

[@Esther-oz4ts]

Thank you Sorted for complying to our requests for more James. This was definitely worth staying up for! On a separate note, very glad that the fact corner aka the fact fridge made an appearance in this week's fridgecam. I love history.

[@kungfukenny9148]

The fact that James was in this video made it much, much better.

[@SonaliMankaSingh]

Mike + cake = heaven.

[@SonaliMankaSingh]

Changed my mind. JJJAAAMEEESS!

[@GoD2483]

No no no. Mike + James + Cake = Heaven!!!!

[@mohanbk1804]

[@liekjw]

I can't be the only one fangirling over Ben instead of James or Mike right? I mean, they are awesome, but a chef, no one can beat a chef ;p

[@Mae_bby]

I know the feeling

[@liederminimoi1782]

Jame is a chef as well! :P

[@mavenofmadnesss]

Lieke Wouters I know, right? He's a overly handsome nerd. The best of the team. ;)

[@candysmiles11]

Lieke Wouters I think your the only one cause im fangirl over mike what a cutie

[@celimendez7620]

Lieke Wouters Not so sure about the chef thing, though. Used to date one, and the dude wasn't very swoon worthy. I think we need to give more credit to his personality. He is one endearing geek, that Ben.

[@IrishHoneyBlossom]

I really want an episode of Big Night In at James´ House :D

[@breezeible7273]

I love how James is getting all the love and the others are just sitting there. What bout them? And, great work, as always.

[@hulagirl144]

When Mike said "You can clearly see what we've done here" I though he was going to talk about how they gave James the big plate and the big spoon because he is a giant.

[@sldg1967]

It is always a bonus to see James. He is part of the team. He adds a je ne sais quoi to the whole affair.

[@nuzhasaleem853]

Aw. Just as mike called James over I thought 'yay! What a treat.... For the eyes 😍'

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

That is a DREAM CAKE right there guys!!!!!!! I am drooling over my computer right now!

[@bluebyyou]

Mike looks like an unusually tall human until James comes on. Then Mike looks like a normal sized human and Ben looks really small.

[@AmeliaBolstad]

"Keep your mouth shut and look hot." I really love that he just obediently sits in the background.

[@CosylandWhispers]

After dieting for a week, I could demolish that cake right now :D

[@KyianaDawn]

LOVEWhispersUK I know how you feel..

[@maryogibbs6026]

LOVEWhispersUK a week? my moms been dieting for a year she'd go godzilla all over that that cake

[@KyianaDawn]

I've been going a few weeks now.. But I seem to have a great restraint about cake.. but chips/crisps.. they would get me..

[@flamingfalkor]

LOVEWhispersUK First of all, congratulations for making it a week in. Second of all, don't think about it like you're dieting until you reach your goal; rather, think about it like making a full lifestyle change. Remember that a little indulgence occasionally won't undo all the work you've done, and if you fall of the wagon once don't get discouraged, think that your diet's ruined, and decide that you should just give up. Best of luck on reaching your goals, keep it up!

[@iranedial4316]

LOVEWhispersUK or u can stop dieting and change your lifestyle

[@nymamae]

I absolutely love the music in this video. Kudos to Mike! And HELLO to James!

[@clolauham]

James is in fact, really cute. But, Mike is the cutest... Oops! Sorry not sorry :)

[@candysmiles11]

Claudel Laurin-Hamel of you are so right mile is the cutest

[@patriciamasilang6544]

Nah. Barry is hahaha 😂

[@imthecromer]

Patricia Steele Yes! :D

[@tasty2985]

+candice ramos I actually agree with you there ladies, nothing sexier than a man who knows his way around the kitchen 😍😉😍

[@lizzykrueger4773]

Agreed.

[@massacregoddess]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoys James' presence in these videos.

[@Isaboeefe]

We also love James!! The cake is looking awesome!

[@ThePieNinga101]

It's really cool how this moment was the start of James being a main member of the Sorted crew. It shows how dedicated Sorted is to their community. They wanted James, they gave them James. Glad to be a longtime watcher!

[@magmakum4628]

white chocolate tiramisu with strawberries (Y)

[@Amber-xc2mj]

Yes please :)

[@GigiMixes]

Hell Yes PLEAAASE

[@sayhitoashley]

that's interesting.... i cant imagine what that'd taste like...

[@magmakum4628]

It would taste like HEAVEN

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Magma Kum Wow that sounds delicious!!

[@haenahkim]

If you just start watching from 3:29, you can see the clear love and devotion Mike has for James. You could almost say that there is some hidden love in there. Mimes is officially the new OTP because there is clearly a love story between Mike and the tall illustrious James.

[@jencheitel2925]

"SIT IN THE BACK AND LOOK HOT" made my day XD

[@motherofone4113]

I have fallen in love! Ben you are nerdy, an excellent cook and British...what more could anyone ask for. Not to mention the lovely guys that cook with you. Jamie is such a goof and you all level each other out. #hooked

[@Ryfted]

Everyone is like, JAAAMESS!! And I'm sitting here like, MIKKKEEE!!

[@PrabhjotAujla3]

Does anyone else just pause these videos while Ben is talking? Try it. BEST THING EVER

[@yungvirgo]

"keep your mouth shut and look hot" omfg thank you mike...😍😍 lol

[@YUIC0707]

I agree James is so cute, when he sit at the fact corner and got nothing to do, he looks so adorable and innocent XDDDD

[@TheSlipperyOtter]

And here comes the insulin forever...

[@hanatakahashi]

Its not like you eat a whole cake by yourself, besides its kinda insulting that you write in that manner, considering that you do not get diabetes by eating unhealthy all the time. There are various kinds of diabetes.

[@jercabajuk]

Angela Davis because Mike is in the video?

[@septan4168]

I dont like this kinds of comments. Its like your not going to eat sweets everyday, and this is like an insult to diabetic people who take insulins.

[@TheSlipperyOtter]

@Hana and Seffi as someone who had gestational diabetes twice, I am well aware that diabetes is not dietary related. If I had written that off the cuff comment on, say, the Diabetes UK channel, I could understand your anger. But I didn't. I wrote it on the Sorted Food channel. A channel known for its frivolous banter. End of.

[@katykaty4047]

seffi rotti so right...one piece of this doesn't mean diabetes...

[@watermelanie9387]

The skin on top of pudding is my favorite part of pudding! Especially chocolate.

[@rubygapper2546]

Ben - Will Barry - Neil Jamie - jay Mike - Simon You literally are the inbetweeners😅

[@littlegrayfishes]

that fridgecam definitely had everything i need: Ben, Mike and JAAAAMMMMEEESSSS

[@emmaneale3205]

Instead of making marshmallow from scratch, could you just melt down some premade marshmallows?

[@SortedFood]

+Emma Neale Sure, that should work!

[@tobychadyl1473]

+SORTED Food try changing "chocolate brownies " to "super super super strong dark chocolate brownies!! :-D

[@blizzardbuns7501]

James

[@blizzardbuns7501]

#JamesIsAFATTY

[@enjoyinglife9441]

+blizzard buns James is not fat he's just a big man

[@mythical_microbe]

This is great !! I am honored to have introduced Team Mike to the Brooklyn Blackout on our Lost and Hungry NYC scavenger hunt day. I love your spin on this New York classic.. Thanks SORTED Food !!

[@maxxine412]

James' legs are way better looking than mine. I'm jealous. Like wayyyy jealous

[@UDKeyes]

I thought nothing could distract me from a giant marshmallow-filled chocolate cake. Such is the power of James.

[@htht41]

JAMES!! so glad to see more of you!!:DDD

[@MiguelVWT]

How to make ANY recipe incredible: put James in the background! Done.

[@JamieSowden]

Can you guys do a video where it's just James and Ben? I feel like that would be a fun video James is bae though

[@antontan881]

Now that James is in the picture, everyone's fighting over Mike and James. Yaaas. #MikeVsJames

[@meerabafzaal8053]

James is actually adorable. ;_;

[@emilywhiteee97]

I'm not entirely sure why I'm subscribed to this channel as I can't eat meat or dairy, but alas, I continue to watch you make delicious-looking food that I cannot eat

[@emmalvschocolate]

Hey guys!!! Can you pleasee pleasee incorporate some vegan recipes in your videos too??? i recently became vegan and its really sad that i cant make any of your recipes..! pretty please??? thank you! lots of love

[@SortedFood]

emmalvschocolate Check out our vegan category on the website - sortedfood.com/category/sorted/86. We'll keep doing more!

[@emmalvschocolate]

SORTED Food thank you!! :)

[@1985rostislav]

emmalvschocolate Prepare for vitamin B12 deficiency in about 2-3 years.

[@mereditholin3932]

+Rostitube ever heard of supplements? And prepare for your high cholesterol in 5 years

[@1985rostislav]

+Meredith Olin Nothing to prepare for, I eat quite healthy. And I've heard about supplements, because I'm a medical biologist. The problem is, hippies like you don't take their supplements regularly

[@patdsmrf10]

Loved the way this fridge cam was set up!!! Nice transitions

[@fatesandmyths]

Go out on Monday and buy a new T, please. It is distracting, when watching the video of a great cake. And btw Jaaaaammmmmeeeessss!

[@renshoto1257]

Hello! Did you know that Oreo cake looks amazing and good job!! You guys now that you are producing good quality videos and when you explains that steps , you or Ben tries to make it simplest as possible for people like me who can't understand things easy for us! Thank you guys very much!!!

[@kavonjohnson941]

Hi evelyn its kavon '3'

[@trangbin1207]

i've watched pretty much videos about Korean street foods (you guys should too :D) and they have some kind of amazing corn dog. Why don't you guys try to create some new oddly styles of corn dog????

[@SortedFood]

+Lucy Le Korean corn dog? Sounds pretty good!

[@trangbin1207]

www.google.com/search?q=korean+hot+dog+style&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIx7yGmoHgxwIVhR6UCh3N5QjM&biw=1366&bih=667 i mean this!! sorry it looks like a corndog but it isnt... lol

[@shafirapemda]

The reason why i like this kind of video more than the normal ones is that the boys seems very excited and kinda hyper xD

[@jep9092]

cooking with James

[@maddinar6727]

A great tip for putting crumbs at the sides of a cake is to use half a lemon, dunk it in the crumbs and then press the crumbs on the cake. Works really good and is way less messy than throwing. ;)

[@KennieFitz]

I liked James before it was cool =)

[@KennieFitz]

Kendra Fitzpatrick Sorted Hipster style-y XD

[@mcroxmysox]

Best video to watch first thing as wake up on my birthday. OMG so good.

[@rawrrkrissybaby]

Heeellllloooooo Jamess!!

[@koriankimchi]

I like the background music on this episode! I wish I could download a Sorted Food Soundtrack or something. I'd totally buy that

[@TayTks]

Just as you brought out James I was typing a comment asking if he was single then he started reading the comments. I guess there is a line.

[@irenefiande]

Вы - отличные ребята, спасибо за вкусное видео.

[@TheDHLifestyle]

Next recipe: Blackberry Crisp 😍

[@noabc123]

I love how they treat James

[@elizzyseay]

Wow James=Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty!!! LOOOOOOOVE

[@A_Valencia]

James ended with with the whole cake! Please let him know that if he needs someone to share that amazing cake with, that I am available. Hope to see him in more videos!

[@kelseymorris2119]

Not sure if James was sunburned or blushing...

[@aucifel714]

i watched this video while i am hangry... but i can't stop it, because Jameeeeeeeeesss!!!!! all of you guys are really cute!

[@ValouT]

I wonder if I could just melt actual marshmallows instead of making them

[@zeratir7873]

Valerie T technically... you probadly can...

[@Gunchasharkies]

Valerie T probably it is possible. but then it would be best to melt then in microwave stirring every 30 or so seconds.

[@skylarwolff1608]

Or just use Marshmallow fluff? maybe?

[@enjoyinglife9441]

+Skylar Wolff that's what I was thinking

[@gitaaji2112]

I love the music in the video tbh. GOOD JOB MIKE.

[@qtchingaming]

wait wait... Did you guys just call the chocolate custard, pudding? YOUR BECOMING AMERICANS.

[@lynnielouwhothebomb]

I am not at all unhappy that James was in this video. Being adorable. That was unexpected, but a wonderful surprise :D

[@georgiarose2378]

Does Ben make all of the recipes himself

[@georgiarose2378]

Like all the messurments

[@SortedFood]

Ben and James make all the recipes! 👍

[@eliothorowitz5627]

I was born in and yes, chocolate blackout cake was a classic and Ebinger's, a chain bakery was it's producer. Like your take with the marshmallow/oreo centre.

[@katherinecelliot8234]

SORED!

[@elizaburrit0]

Nothing better than watching Ben & Mike make cake @ 2AM

[@80yen]

Sore D... I see what you did there...

[@londonrobinson2922]

Now this is the kind of quality content I subscribed to SortedFood for!

[@joannnation1617]

Guys help!!!!! I have developed a nut allergy and really missing Indian food as coconut is one of my main allergies. Ideas for food with out it please I am suffering not having my favourite meals.

[@SortedFood]

JOANN NATION Try replacing coconut milk by stirring in thick yoghurt towards the end of cooking. It gives that creaminess!

[@flamingfalkor]

It's been a while since you did something balls to wall crazy, and this was one hell of a way to start again.

[@ianjeremygarcia8644]

James IS hot. #fact

[@scrumpypancakes406]

This is probably the most excitement I've ever seen on Ben's face before.

[@nadya2877]

Sored or sorted LOL

[@Jess-rs8zm]

It's my Mums birthday next week - definitely making her this cake. Thanks!

[@almazoe4924]

I hope the moreos guy from Tumblr doesn't see this

[@swagmoneytroll2178]

Same

[@ESmith-ih9su]

I love how this was the turning point in James's career here on SortedFood. #NoRagrets

[@johnd5574]

objectifying poor James... I hope he got a whole slice of cake for that, lol

[@dbertolani]

That's what I call a fridgecam! Amazing ♡

[@RaiderDave42069]

"blackout" because of the sugar coma?

[@AmberLie]

I mean, everyone is attractive. Even Barry. But I have to admit that James is indeed my favorite. It came out of no where. I was binge watching Sorted... And then BOOM! I suddenly have a crush on James. . . I'm not mad. Glad he's in more videos. :D

[@THOOODAI]

Is it called Blackout cake because you drop dead from diabeetus?

[@pestodirection]

i wasnt paying attention to the recipe till you brought james in.

[@Doronica]

Thank you for the extra minutes of 'Jamesness'. 💜 Bless him, he looked so uncomfortable! (The fanfics will proliferate now). & excellent recipe as always boys. Xx

[@joyceong4128]

love this video! do a twist on peranakan desserts like ondeh ondeh (rice balls filled with gula melaka, coated with coconut flakes!)

[@kianhartley2574]

You are the only food channel I watch but you make me hungry

[@mi1390]

coffee brushed on chocolate equals mooore chocolatey flave.. Yummm

[@diludiar]

James' face when he read the comments! 😂 Ben is still my fave! The cake looks soooo good!

[@ariellev9185]

"Keep your mouth shut & look hot!" Omg, I died lol

[@shaniceleung4678]

Potato Gratin would be nice! Delicious creamy, melty cheese, and thin sliced potatoes..yumm

[@linited]

James in blue shorts, Ben in red shorts. Aaaaand go go go next video. Oh and yum that cake looked delish!

[@TessaDavies2015]

Loving the music in the background! Oh, and the cake too of course :)

[@sunsunng9623]

Hi guys quick question (dont know will u guys answer my questions but here it is: 1) who buys the ingredients? 2) who washes most the dishes? 3) and ben whos the best helper in the kitchen?

[@firdous2698]

these guys make cooking and baking much more interesting. :D

[@gwennhatch9309]

Something rainbow. It's challenging and yet creative

[@kimanomaly]

So much sweetness! Oreos, chocolate cake, pudding, marshmallow. And James. 😍

[@TheGamingOrange31]

Ben: As its summer, would there be any chance of you guys creating some nice refreshing drinks?
