I was just going to say this. I think, especially in the Basics videos, it's really encouraging to see a professional fail. I think a lot of times there's there's quick and cleanly cut cooking videos online and I just can't bring myself to start on new things because of some misplaced anxiety. Babish always does a very humanizing take on what being a chef means, and what it takes to get that perfect final product.

[@todd_the_wraith]

also in earlier episodes Babish says he's not a pro chef, he's a filmmaker who wanted to recreate food he saw in movies, so it feels more like we're learning along with him instead of getting instructions from a teacher and wondering what we did wrong to get a slightly wrong cake

[@rickyz89]

Old traditions tip: use more yolk eggs than whites (3 : 2 or 2 :1 ratio), have a really solid and clear yellow whipped yolk+sugar before adding the mascarpone. Also soak both sides of the ladyfingers with more intense but COLD coffee, as from percolator/espresso/instant. It gives a stronger bitterness contrast without soaking it too much. to keep the air in the foam while adding the whites, our grandmas teach us to always stir in the same direction (clkw/anti)...not sure that's relevant though XD ...everything else is pretty freaking accurate! love your videos!

[@cruachan1191]

My sister used to work in an Italian restaurant and makes this regularly, one of everyone's favourites for family meals. Never seen anyone make the sponge fingers (that's what we call them in the UK) from scratch, but would expect nothing less from Babish. 😁

[@88Eleo]

The problem isn’t the fact that you over beat the eggs, but that the execution was on reverse. First you beat the yolks with all the sugar (not half and half, all of the sugar must be beaten with the yolks, for a very long time) The yolks should be fluffy and pale. Then add the mascarpone and in the end you should beat the egg whites and add them to the yolks, very gently. In Italy we do it this way and it comes out perfect ❤

[@MCFCity]

I beat the egg yolks with sugar over a double boiler until pale. Then add mascarpone and whipped cream. The ladyfingers get soaked in espresso and coffee liqueur. Topped with cocoa powder when served. I'm Italian too!

[@Ceen328]

I always use Amaretto for the coffee. I really like your idea for the 'one piece' lady finger. cutting portions is way easier this way. Also, thumbs up for the double coco dusting. This is the way!

[@0Clewi0]

It's probably way harder when you make a sheet, not italian at all but the home method is to lower the ladyfinger with a fork to the container with coffee until you can barely move it without breaking. Also if we can't find Marsala after of 3rd trip to every store in the city to use Port wine but tiramisú without wine is meh.

Hey that coffeemaker, can you take all the parts off and clean them? I've found cleaning regular coffeemakers (the vinegar soak, rinse repeatedly) to be annoying, and I'm not sure it's fully cleaning the coffeemaker.

Another way to get around the raw egg scruples is to blend your mascarpone with zabaglione, which is basically like a sweet hollandaise. Just make sure after whipping it up you cool it completely before adding the cheese

[@R.J._Lewis]

I chuckled at the irony of the non-stick spray being used to secure the parchment paper. The lady-fingers could have used more coffee in my opinion though. My personal and controversial opinion is that they should be so soaked with coffee as to barely be able to keep their shape.

[@TonyA552]

I've got two more "Basics" for you to cover someday. Traditional oyster stew is one and Greek moussaka is the other. I had an aunt who lived in Athens Greece for several years while her husband was stationed there in the US Navy. When she returned to the US she made the most amazing moussaka I've ever had and it took me years to duplicate it. As with lasagna, there are many different variations. I would be curious to see your take on it. My hint for great moussaka: grill the eggplant slices on a BBQ rather than fry them in a pan. It cuts down on the amount of oil needed and gives much better flavor and texture.

[@k1t429]

For ladyfingers, I found out that you don’t need to whip the egg yolks. My teacher had us make them by whipping a french meringue, then adding the unwhipped egg yolks right at the end and whipping very fast for a couple seconds; just enough that the yolk is mixed in. Then sift and fold in the flour. It's much faster to do, and yields a better result in my opinion because it doesn’t need to be folded as much.
