My husband loves Japanese knives and saws. We also house and dog sit. We’ve started bringing our own knives, because other people’s knives are dull and scary. He also loves his cast iron skillets. Nothing compares to a well seasoned skillet.

One of my favorite meals that my father used to make. Pork chops and apple sauce. I can't wait to try this version. Looks delicious Unk. Thanks as always.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Yes!! Exactly, same. Used to love em now even more with no animals

I feel very intimidated by mushrooms when it comes to cooking them (I tend to stick to the same repertoire of one or two methods), so it's very refreshing to watch your expertise in these videos creating delicious looking dishes ! 😋🌱🍄

[@andreanery1215]

Thanks for share🎉🎉

[@sabbesankharaanicca]

Thanks to Chef Sarno I searched for a local mushroom grower (MycoMalta). It was not an easy feat because I live on a very warm, small island. But with some patience and luck, I bought three kits: Lion’s Mane, Grey Oyster, and Chestnut. Every time they pin and flush, I take baby pictures like an overjoyed kid, and share them with my family. When you first taste cooked mushrooms freshly harvested from your own home, you’re in for a priceless treat. The Grey Oysters were first to flush, and their ‘meat’ was just like slow-roasted rabbit (which, most horridly and unfortunately, is a traditional dish locally - poor rabbits…). Well, the Lion’s Mane is next and I am set to use this video as recipe guidelines. It will be another one for hashtag ‘SarnoSear’.

Derek, outside in tall grass in the UK in the start of December pretty much mimicks their natural environment for growing, no wonder it grew another flush! Just keep protected from direct rain and I am certain the blocks will outperform the ones grown indoors (from around October until frost hits).

That, folks, is classic comfort food! Another winner by Derek! 👍

[@wheatfreeveganjwinswfl]

Looks delicious Derek... never thought of adding vegan mayo to the "wet" ingredients if you were making a wannabe pork schnitzel or a breaded chicken cutlet using mushrooms... 😏😏😏😏😏 By the way, I made your The Perfect all in ONE Thanksgiving Dinner | Christmas, Sunday Roast last night [here] for dinner using vegan chick'n pieces instead of tofu, but forget to add the mushrooms and made my own vegan chick'n bouilion since I couldn't find one that plays in my figurative wheel house.. then made air fried gluten free vegan croutons the day before... Speaking of my my own vegan chick'n bouilion, it smelled and tasted like homemade chicken and noodle soup because I quickly sautéed my veggies in it with about a splash to a cup of hot water over medium heat Ironically I have some leftover for lunch / dinner today [here]... Anyway hope you and Frankie are having a safe healthy splendid Sunday afternoon...bon appetit As for the place I can get my hands on lions mane mushrooms is Sprouts, but I have to wait until the 15th of January this upcoming year because they're opening a new location in the Port Charlotte, FL area and I've never shopped at one before...😊😊😊😊😊

So much less expensive to grow your own from kits, and you get the experience. I love it.

[@katsweeterly2039]

The are not really budget friendly to grow on your own either, here on European main land - but I also would need the appropriate pan(s) for it…😢

[@Weatemilly]

​@@katsweeterly2039you only need one kit. Once you have spawn and grown the mushroom keep splitting mycelium and adding to new mushroom medium.

Going to have to try this when my Lions Mane fruits. Never seen anyone sharpen a Japanese blade like that, on mine I sharpen just one side until a tiny burr forms on the flat side then just lightly touch that flat side to remove burr. All my Japanese knives are single bevel at about a 15 degree angle.

This is making my mouth watering so much, I can't stand it! :D My only sadness is that I can't seem to find such mushrooms here in Czech Republic.

That looks excellent! Any tips for those with only an induction stove and no cast-iron pans?

I love your channel! I’ll be honest, I do miss meat The mouth full of meat. And I do know that mushrooms can do that! It would be nice if it was more mushroom production. A lot of places use over engineered meat replacements, when I think these, and simple bean burgers (there’s so many recipes it’s unreal) can be made by restaurants (fast food or otherwise) Beyond meat taste good (it taste like meat), but bean burgers can be just as good and cheaper, while these take the cake in terms of mouth feel

in case anybody cares - probably not a good idea to sharpen your knives in a place where you're going to be handling your food. Sharpening creates a dust of fine metal particles, and that stuff is not something you want getting on your food or into your body.
