Kwesi: married to a woman who got second place for her croissants in a national competition in *FRANCE* Also Kwesi: totally forgets everything she ever told him about them

[@tylerwhorff7143]

This kind of wife guy niche is better than the last one at least

How Kwesi made producer worry that his wife is a pro croissant baker, then immediately eliminated their worry by forgetting everything she taught him🤣

[@gabiluch87]

I feel like Kwesi didn't really listened to his wife if she explained anything about how to bake croissants haha

I'd be slightly offended if I was the wife. He really paid SUCH little attention to my interests he knows nothing?

[@Choshako]

@@Username0467 It's possible that the stress of being in a without-a-recipe video just wiped his brain. I certainly struggle to remember steps when I'm stressed and on the clock, a lot of people do actually, like when you're taking a math test in high school. You can study and prepare for something very thoroughly, but when adrenaline hits you, it's like you're hit by that memory deleter from Men In Black.

[@Choshako]

@@gabiluch87 Stress and adrenaline CAN make you forget everything you've learned. It's why studying for math tests never worked for me, I'd get comfortable with the material but once the test started and I was on the clock, it's like I hadn't studied at all. I think that's what happened with Kwesi here.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

It's really such a shame that he-who-shall-not-be-named ruined their Food Network show for them. I remember hearing all of the promotions and getting excited, not just to watch but also excited for them and the recognition that the show would bring. But I remember the talk about whole episodes being cut and parts of the episodes being scraped and promotion basically ended after the whole scandal and I feel so bad for the guys because of that lost opportunity.

[@loverrlee]

Yeah and not only is it a lost opportunity, but the likelihood of future opportunities is highly unlikely now because if you have one “failed” food network show (by no fault of the 3 remaining try guys) it’s unlikely you’ll be given the opportunity for another food show, let alone any other cable network show. Really couldn’t have happened at a worst time. 😢 But I’m glad they’re still doing WAR because I love this show format and look forward to it every year! ❤

Just for everyone out there Baking soda: makes desserts dense Baking powder: makes desserts rise Happy baking :)

[@Casutama]

That depends on the ingredients and isn't quite correct. Baking powder contains I think ~a third baking soda. But in order to act as a leavening agent, baking soda has to react with something acidic. So acidic ingredients are added to that third of baking soda that is in baking powder. Baking soda works just as well as baking powder to make desserts rise - if there is something acidic in the dough/batter to react with. Like lemon or fruits or yoghurt. The problems start when that's not the case. Like in a croissant...

I had a huge feeling Jared or Kwesi would either come 1st or 2nd this episode 😂

[@amberdawn5372]

Keith’s whole disclaimer about Kwesi’s red food coloring getting on everything “not by purpose, design, or intent” had me rolling 😂

[@xdajlo82]

I was yelling at Kwesi!!! Like how messy. Then Keith's comment made me feel better

[@sarafontanini7051]

i do wonder though if it was that messy did he clean anything at all? if not kinda side-eyeing him

[@xdajlo82]

@sarafontanini7051 ya know I'd hate to think it was intentional. They all work together, so I have to believe it was messy and accidental.

[@amberdawn5372]

@@sarafontanini7051 Nah, I just think that between the actual dye and the hot cheeto dust it acted like glitter when he was dusting the croissants. I.e. it got EVERYWHERE and is gonna pop up randomly for months no matter how much you clean 😂

[@xelena7093]

​@@sarafontanini7051If you've ever worked with red food coloring and/or powdery substances you know it will go everywhere no matter how much you try to clean. Besides, there was absolutely no impact on others' products other than the color, it was just a fun joke. It's really not that deep and I'm pretty sure they have a whole crew helping with cleaning anyway.

[@jmbliss7]

"Is filling an important aspect of a filled croissant?" "You're sucha dick" "Kwesi, do you think a croissant is an importan element of the croissant?" 🤣🤣🤣I think this season of without a recipe is the best one so far.

[@danielleking262]

38:32 😂😂😂

[@serchmaabaatarchuluun5761]

Yeah, Jared and Qwesi bring such fun energy to the show. Both don't know shit about baking. The only difference is Jared plays things safely while also being adorable while Qwesi's an agent of chaos.

[@Libbathegreat]

I also think this is the best WAR season ever. Last week's episode (Oreos) may be my favorite of all time.

[@hurricanecemi]

I am so thankful for the addition of Jared. I hope he knows how much we all love him, and how we are so happy that he’s a part of the channel now.

I’m so impressed by Jared literally his second time ever baking and he got 2nd and it wasn’t even too bad. I hope he does some baking with a recipe in the future because he could do great things!!

[@easjer]

Dude, Zach. I watched every episode of the Food Network show and loved it and was heartbroken that the scandal fucked things up. Also, Keith, the air is because the butter melts when it bakes, and you get all those lovely laminated pockets of air. Love you guys!

Y'all playing the Hallelujah chorus for Jared getting second place is so wholesome I love it. I was rooting for him the whole episode. Congrats Jared!!!

Highlights were Keith's slow realization he needed yeast, Zach slowly taking off his glasses and Keith going along with it, Kwesi's slow desent into madness, and Jared's celebration at the end :)

[@joanleedan5358]

27:47 rosanna's absolute delight at hearing daddy's favourite ride again while jennifer just holds her head in despair is absolutely the spirit of WAR.

[@janemrs]

Just want to add that when Zack says "Merci beaucoup" (thanks a lot) during his presentation, he actually pronunces it "Merci beau cul", which literally means "Thank you nice ass" and I think that's beautiful

[@shalinaasuncion9306]

Zach's concerned tone and look for Kweesi is everyone's concerned look when Zach messes something up too. Perfect pair

It was actually the worst part of the video. Why people continue to advocate for the breeding of a dog that can't breathe, naturally reproduce, or naturally give birth is beyond me. Stop buying French bulldogs.

One of my favorite things about Without a Recipe is when the professional says you should never do something and you just see them all doing that exact thing lmao. I especially love it when the product actually still turns out good like theirs generally did despite the baking soda. It kinda tests the limits of these age old recipes and proves that things can be tweaked and still go well.

[@shrutigoel2067]

I love the addition of Jared to try guys videos. He is the right amount of mad and fun to the videos

I love that instead of rage of losing, everyone in every episode is cheering for Jared, I really love the positivity shown throughout this season and that the competition aspect of this show is more fun rather than tension based which how it was in the previous without a recipe shows.

With the red one, there's much less combative competitive energy. Eugene is content being artistic (and better than everyone else) and our soft soy boys are just thriving. ❤❤❤

Watching the tri guys evolve after the whole incident has been so amazing! It just feels like a more positive environment and the guys are just 3 extremely positive and rooting for each other each step of the way! Before it felt like a certain someone was being too… competitive to say the least. They all want each other to succeed and celebrate each others victories ❤️
