I've spent the last hour reading your comments, and I just wanted to say thank you so, so much for the kind words & love for the video. I'm obsessed about baking these old relics, and it means a lot that you're all willing (and seemingly like) to hear me yap about them. Thank you.
Dylan, have you seen this whipping accordion player ? Sharing because I think you might like 😊 Have a Great day ! ruclips.net/user/shortsmMEATWJicCQ?feature=share
Your shorter videos on other mediums are snappy and entertaining but we love the value provided in these longer ones. Thank you for all of your due diligence and bringing us along on the journey. :)
This was wonderful. I love your tiktok videos, and this is even better. They never fail to make me smile. One of these days, I'll try making one of your recipes. I was thrilled to learn about your cookbook and have ordered several copies to give to friends. P.S. I was wondering about the bananas, and I thought I was the only one to put eggshells back in the carton.
I just want to say, from the perspective of a woman achieving her master's in library information science with a certification in archival studies whilst surviving financially in 2024 USA, a majority of the time, through the unfortunate, painstaking career and love of baking/food - I commend you, B. Dylan Hollis. You keep history alive through tangible and, quite literally (and hopefully) digestible recipes and documentation. I salute you ;)
"from the perspective of a woman achieving her master's in library information science with a certification in archival studies whilst surviving financially in 2024 USA, a majority of the time, through the unfortunate, painstaking career and love of baking/food" this is nearly incomprehensible, weaponized cringe from the spectrum. get screened and add a writing course while you're finishing that master's.
As a serial dingus, it's one of the most impressive things I hadn't noticed before and now can't un-notice. Another reason to enjoy the hell out of his content, for sure!
He hails from the land of tiktok. There is no time for filler speech. But I suspect that while he truly does have a tremendous amount of practice with speaking, I think he cheats a bit with his cuts.
Is it just me or would Dylan have made an excellent radio man back in the 60's? His voice is both enthusiastic and calming and it's just delightful. Thanks so much for your knowledge, dedication and very funny antics, myself and my boys love watching your baking videos and I will be buying your book (as long as it ships to Australia).
Dylan, your final version is exactly what I had hoped for from the beginning in terms of texture and flavour. Also, loved the deep dive, don't underestimate just how many people appreciate your efforts. Thanks so much for sharing. I do think I need your cookbook now!❤
Someone PLEASE get this man a cooking show! His content is already better than 99% of the cooking content we have left whether that’s online or otherwise! Let’s make this happen!!!
Normally I would be elated with the idea of a beloved youtuber succeeding so well that they become a household name! However. Network television BREAKS SPIRITS! They stomp on your hearts with thousands of contractual obligations and metric tonnes of conformity! He wouldn't ne allowed to make funny little sex jokes or use his cute little nicknames like floof powder/soda. He'd become...one of THEM.
I love the raw reality that Dylan has in his home produced videos. Having a food network show would make them make a sanitized version of his youtube videos. It would be on a set which would lack the pulled together quality of his kitchen, he would be performing from a script off a teleprompter. We would lose the asides and little giggles of surprise and delight. Plus, I'm not sure how supportive they would be of Dylan's sense of humor and how he tends towards double entendres. He would need to cede a lot of creative control. Maybe Netflix or Hulu would be a better fit since they have fewer concerns about mass market suitability.
I am 73, but I think I'm pretty youthful, Dylan. I started collecting recipes in my teens. I added recipe booklets as I aged. Old cookbooks from yard sales and flea markets. You think you're the Lone Ranger here, but, alas, you're not alone. My proudest possessions are my Pillsbury BakeOff booklets, #1 through #6. BTW, my favorite is the booklet that came with my mother's old Sunbeam mixer. Every recipe in it was a winner. I was never looking for novelty: I was searching for perfection.
I'm 76, from Michigan and as a child my mother made a receipe simply named "Date Pudding". She and my Dad refered to it as "Food of the Gods", but I thought it was merely a discriptive term. It was baked in an odd sized square pan Mom had a hard time finding, indeed, it may hsve been Grandma's.: it was metal, embossed on it's entire surface in a squared starburst type pattern (a pain to wash) and used ONLY for this receipe. I only can say it was larger than 9", because it was baked in a water bath and Mom used a turkey roaster as it did not fit in a 9x11" pan. It came out an appitizing looking dessert somewhat like a very gooey, tan brownie. Cut in squares and served with whipped cream, it was lovef by all. Except me. I dislike dates entensly, even to this day! I'm so sorry I don't have her receipe, because I truly think it's the one you set out to find.
My dude I could sit there and listen to you go on for hours about the history of cooking. NEVER think none of us care. I love your Tik Toks/Shorts, but these long form videos (while obviously SIGNIFICANTLY more work) are an absolute gem.
Agreed! I adore the chaotic fun energy in the shorts, but the calm, obvious intelligence, and education of the long form videos make them a delight of a different kind
Pre-Dylan, there’s no way I would have watched a 40 min long video about old recipes. Damn this guy is entertaining. It’s like what they used to say about good comedians, how they could get laughs from reading the phone book out loud, that’s how good he is. Thanks Dylan, I really love these.
Iam glad you found your gate way drug into cooking if you were not big on it. The amount of people who act like cooking is a forbidden art or that think cooking is warming up pre made stuff worries and has done so since I was a young child.
Laid back Dylan is really quite a departure from his normal hyper self. Yet, still the king of quips and double entendres. I will get this book and give to my daughter and son who quite the bakers. Enjoyable as always. Thank you.
This was... Interesting. You're so much less chaotic in these longer videos, and yet even without that heaping serving of gremlin energy and blind baking jokes of dubious taste, you're still lighthearted, passionate, joyous, and just generally a pleasure to watch and listen to. You're the vibe equivalent of a warm hug from an old friend. I look forward to the release of the cookbook as my mother and I both quite enjoy your shorter vids!
When is a streaming service going to pick him up for a cooking show named after his cookbook?! We would all watch the hell out of that! He's got such presence and knowledge. He would be great on a show!
I got to know him on TikTok being more open than this. I was impressed that I went along and added him to all my other accounts. I love his recipes and his personality.
Sir, your speech pattern is enchanting. Your vocabulary, cadence, and diction is so refreshing and sorely, desperately needed on the internet. I'm not even close to being a baker, but good lord do I want to watch more videos from you! Great work!
I truly honestly could watch hours and hours and HOURS of you talking and cooking. The cadence of how you talk is so mesmerizing and I wasn't bored for a second. The consideration for literally everything and everyone is beautiful. Thank you for this. I'll never actually cook it but thank you for it!
This brings me back to the days when I would wait patiently for Alton Brown to release a Good Eats episode, not for the wacky characters but for the food history. The care that goes into the recipes, not to mention the research. This cinched it, I'm going to local bookstore in the morning and picking up a copy. Thank you, Dylan! The love and passion shows and is spreading to a new generation and even rekindled this old man's fire.
Dylan, You are just awesome! I've quit cooking because I used to cook with my husband he has long since dead for 17 years so I do not take pleasure in cooking anymore but you are making me rethink that I might like to start up again thank you
Is anyone else's favorite part of these videos when his eyes get wide and he smirks at how amazed he is when something tastes much better than he expected? B. Dylan Hollis, you are a true gem in this big world of RUclips.
Please make more of these long form recipe deep dives. It's fascinating, and your delivery and even just your cadence are what make it so easily enjoyable. Just comfortable and delightful all around.
Your use of language and vocabulary are extremely refreshing! Not once did I hear the word 'like'... And you actually know how to put a sentence together. I may have to buy your cookbook just to read it! I know it's not out yet, but I wish you would have made your book spiral-bound.... Just so it would lay flat. I know it's more expensive to do it that way, and many cook books have not been spiral-bound it's just a nice feature. ❤ I hope you go into many editions of your cookbook! 🥧🍴🇧🇸
This scratches that constant itch of mine for getting deep in the proverbial weeds of kitchen nerdity and culinary science and why certain ingredients or processes work better, and I'm here for it. A+ presentation and content!
In his TikTok videos, he reminds me of Martin Short, and I have always loved Martin Short, so I was immediately endeared to him. And I love his longform videos. He's an absolute delight.
So awkward complement but, as an ADHDer watching a video this long is usually impossible for me. But with the change of angles, the speed at which you speak, sudden interesting facts, instructions, beeps, boops and basically everything, you are a dream come true. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I absolutely agree. I'm not diagnosed ADHD, but I do genuinely feel the same way about how he keeps me completely entertained and engaged without overdoing it.
I've seen this guy's shorts and they're good fun and good for a chuckle. But this long-form content is...incredible. What a talented presenter. And what great research went into this work. Cool to see someone who has CLEARLY found their calling in life.
Couldn't agree more. It's equal parts culinary history professor lecture (but in a fun way) and chatting with a friend while baking. It's so cozy and interesting
I feel like I'm watching someone's love and passion in a much more pure form than I'm used to on here. No production team, no phantom corporation floating in the wings, just someone who truly loves what they do. It's honestly really inspiring, and I deeply appreciate you.
I sincerely hope you do more of these longer-form videos, I just love them. It shows the amount of love you have for cooking and the history behind the recipes and cookbooks.
As a lover of etymology and language development, I deeply appreciate seeing how recipes develop over time, reflecting the culinary trends and cultures over time. It's fascinating!
I love Townsends as well. It's so much fun listening to them break down recipes from the 1800's. Written in the same manner, with the expectation that you know what they're talking about.
I love how Dylan's all like, "I'm likely boring you to death" and really it's what we love! Also YES. I thought I was the only one who just put there egg shells back in the carton!
I'd love for him to "bore us to death" with a 4, 6, 10 hour video with all the details he thinks we wouldn't want to hear. Also, egg shells go back in the carton, definitely.
Is it just me, or do these videos remind anyone else of Good Eats? The melodic narration, detailed explanation of why and how a recipe is structured, and the small kitchen vibes really remind me of the first few seasons of Good Eats. I hope one day Dylan gets the recognition he deserves with a cooking show like that!
He would lose freedom to be himself and in other ways. Not bad just part of it. Google/ YT is huge and worldwide. He has a NY Times best selling book, host of his own show, great fans all in the comfort of his own kitchen. What’s missing? This format is the future.
I'd watch a 3 hour video of just going down the rabbit hole for a recipe and trying a few of them. It's not at all boring because of how passionate he is about the whole process!
i need this guy to get a cooking show on these old recipes. i don't care if the episodes are almost an hour long, this is PEAK content to me. absolutely wonderful
@@katteisace4563 Got to recommend Tasting History with Max Miller if something similar to this description is the aim, different energy to Dylan but also full of cool food history and cozy vibes
I learned to love cooking/baking by watching Alton Brown over 20 years ago. Dylan brings back that sense of exploration, science, and utter joy. His delight is magnetic. Thanks so much for being you, buddy.
I just love how passionate this dude is for baking, and how well spoken. I'm not even a baker, but this is so enjoyable and wholesome to watch regardless
This guy must be absolutely raking it in on tik tok which makes me really appreciate him taking the time to create a 40 minute, incredibly engaging RUclips episode. I love this. Thanks for spoiling us, Dylan!
@@karenneill9109 He's not Canadian. He's from Bermuda. Not sure but last I saw (and it could be an older "short" on YT) he was attending school in America. Also, he has over 9.8M subscribers on TikTok and 1.9M on YT.
I know this video is almost a year old by this point, but I just stumbled across it and wanted to say that it is absolutely lovely. Incredibly wholesome and a joy to watch. I hope you make more videos like this in the future!!
IM YELLING AND PUMPING MY FISTS this is the content i needed 😭✨👏🏼👏🏼for real these long video are extremely informative, thought provoking, and entertaining!! I like watching them especially when I'm bored while doing cardio at the gym!
I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy watching your videos, especially these longer ones. You have a delightful sense of humor and way of expressing yourself. And I love it when you incorporate some of your amazing musical talent! You are just a joy to watch. Thank you for doing what you do!
there are plenty of jump cuts. just not when pertinent information is involved. He uses them to condense his rants into curt but formal informational narrations.
@@WendyWHeath THIS! I do love Alton, but you're right - he could sometimes come across as a little arrogant. Dylan is giving Alton Brown, but more down to earth and accessable
No seeming, we do like your yappings! And the feral and unique intelligence behind it, along with the fact that you can hide both when an interview with morning hosts looms. Good job, and please go on being you. You're the best source of fun I've found since Terry Pratchett.
FYI, if no one has answered yet, Cool Whip is mostly hydrogenated vegetable oil. There is a little milk in the regular fat stuff (because they also make a lite version) but it's essentially whipped margarine, sugar and vanilla.
If you’ve been contacted by food network or Netflix to get a show… make sure you do it exactly how you see it. Don’t let them box you in (not that I think you would, you’re awesome). You make 20x better content than their writers and producers. The only thing they can give you is production (camera and sound crew etc) and a new platform. You are a born entertainer and could’ve gone in any direction. I’ll watch anything you do!
I'd love to see Dylan partner with Alton, where Dylan does exactly what he's doing in this video by looking up and trying old recipes, and Alton provides some context in history that shaped the dish and tastes when it was developed.
Ngl I'd love to see Dylan be a guest judge on Nailed It. Their bombastic over the top approach is pretty in line with the energy in his tiktoks and I think him, Nicole, and Jaques would bounce off each other well
I know you rarely do these long form videos but this was the most fun I’ve had with your content. Bring on more long form, comparing recipes throughout time, and exploring the differences. I just LOVE this
Your long forms are the best. As a fan of weird history, your deep dives into recipes of the past, is almost like a Time Machine…. It’s a little bit of the past, how people lived and ate in the past. Truly wonderful too see you back with the long forms. 👍🏻
Yeah. I didn't know this would be 40 minutes when I clicked but here we are. Lol. The only annoying thing were all the little 'I'm probably boring you with all this' comments. Like no, I'll sit here for 2 hours if you want to share more. Lol.
@@amandaday313 Exactly! PLEASE, DYLAN! If this is "boring", PUT US INTO A GIDDY COMA! This is one of the VERY FEW channels I will rewatch every video for when I feel like enjoying such a mood lightener like this adorable man. His curiosity and joyous demeanor, and that silly and sassy sense of humor make it all the better.
You are too talented and have too much personality to squeeze into short form videos. The format of this video, the topic, the way you spoke about it, and just the food itself was all a work of art. WELL done with this! 🫰🏻I really hope you can see the potential in these long form videos on RUclips. Enjoyed every minute, and I’m so happy I found your channel through this video popping up on my feed
You’ve totally transformed our kitchen vernacular 😂 none of us say baking powder anymore 😂 it’s officially floof powder! Same with “CINNAMIN!!!” “Eggees” “watuh!” & of course, “FIYAH!!!” You remind me so much of my late Uncle. We’d call him Uncle Buppy. You share mannerisms and clever humor and timing and a love for yesteryear. So thank you for bringing his memory back into my mind and for becoming a family friend 😊
I love that you walked through your process for how you deciphered old recipes and work shopped them to work for as many people as possible. You're a great teacher!
That's what I thought as I was listening to the video. Why didn't I have this guy teaching me cooking when I was younger. I wouldn't hate baking probably at this point. Thanks to my mom I love cooking but baking forget it
After watching your shorts for years, seeing a long form video. I had to click and watch. Love the history, journey and your enthusiasm. Would definetly love more long form videos! Thank you for bringing back some extra history of baking!
I really REALLY loved all the “boring” history and explanations. I think many of us would enjoy more videos of you nerding out on recipes that you enjoy. Thanks Dylan!
I love how happy Dylan gets when he talks about his methods and reasons for baking and writing his own book. True fulfillment and joy is evident in this man.
Here in western Maryland we have a very small chain of stores called " Farmers Market" they had a pre-flowered dates, about 1/16 cubes. The chain was only 3 stores, up for sale, they had a big enough sales that they worked with westvaco (west Virginia pulp and paper co.) That they would send the big rolls of paper out west and bring back produce
I'm 71, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to the concoctions. Jello salad, with shredded carrots for the main course, alongside the meatloaf, and with pineapple chunks by itself. It's a miracle! A miracle, I tells ya!
Dylan, thank for bringing a joy and wisdom to baking. You're a delight to listen to and watch. Keep doing what you love. Your passion has inspired me to grab my great grandmother/grandmother/mother's old cookbooks and dig in. Only luv to u from upsate NY.
Dylan, you are absolutely one of the bravest culinary souls on the internet. Some of the recipes you dig up are experimental at best. The courage you exhibit while trying these is incredible.
You manage to ignite my love of baking by embodying my most favorite attributes of Alton Brown and Bill Nye, the science guy, and be your beautifully unique self, Dylan. You are a gem to the baking world, and I so adore you.
I love your videos and they way you make baking fun and entertaining! Have you found a cookie called "Cowboy cookies"? My dad loved them and I don't know where and when they came from.
I love your choices and descriptions😊 the Old ways were stepping stones for experiments with new modern Ingredients, but we may need that knowledge again shortly. Its good to know both and your style makes it entertaining. Thank you for being genuine.
I watched this series last year when it first came out, and sincerely enjoyed it. I found it again today after a rather difficult day for personal reasons and well... I am going to bed smiling at Mr. Hollis' genuine warmth, his energy, and his love of the subject matter. I've never seen a cooking personality with this kind of emotional range or ability to connect in an earnest way. Thank you, Mr. Hollis, for brightening a difficult day.
The thing i love about watching Dylan's videos, is just how much you can tell how passionate he is about baking and history and that's just wonderful to watch. I hope he does more long form videos in the future.
I’m in pastry arts school and work in a bakery, and somehow even when I’m burnt tf out watching, your videos on baking (both the tiktoks and the long ones) remind me why I love it. Thank you for the 40 minutes of relaxing, recharging, and nerding out over recipes with you!
If you're so inclined, a youtube series of your favorite recipes from your book and how you developed them + the recipe you based it off on would be absolutely wonderful and interesting!
I put together a family cookbook about 40 years ago from the favorite recipes of mine and my husbands families going all the way back to great-grandparents. Some of the recipes harken back to the late 1800’s. One of them is called Chinese Chews and they are very similar to your Food for the Gods. One difference is that they were dusted with powdered sugar after baking in a 9X13 pan and cut into squares. I love you and your recipes and have tried few of them most recently your Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies. I also ga e your cookbook as a gift to a friend of mine. She absolutely loves it and is a big fan of yours.
Is it just me or are there others who just love to hear Dylan speak? It's so soothing to hear old world finesse English casually interspersed between more modern language. To me, the old world language sounds more musical and rhythmic combined with more contemporary familiar phrases. A symphony of sorts. If I may...❤
It's the care you take in your delivery that really makes these more casual, long format videos so enjoyable. It is very refreshing to hear someone be so decisive in their words, and to say exactly what you mean. The more relaxed videos are just delightful.
37:56 I like how it feels like Dylan is like sitting on my kitchen floor infront of my oven with me, comforting me about why my glass pan isn’t working 😂😂
Right? It took me years, YEARS, before I read an article somewhere-maybe "Cooks Illustrated." And do have any idea how many glass baking vessels my hubs and I received as wedding gifts? Forty years later I still have one or two. Sturdy little suckers. I feel like air should send them to Dylan, who would appreciate the nostalgia.
In defense of the vague molasses candy recipe, in 1908, most people rarely ate store bought candy , or went to a restaurant. So you knew the basics of making all the things, you were just looking to read how Mable , down the road made her fantastic molasses candy or what all Gertrude put in that award winning banana cake. At least that is my theory
So true. Candy was once a rare treat you got on special occasions only. Most women had been cooking since they could walk so they knew how to make almost anything. They just wanted to know what secret ingredient that ribbon winning desert might have🤣🤣. My dad's dad actually worked for a candy maker and my father talks about his making all kinds of treats. His recipes were a pinch of this a touch of that🤣. Because you were going by experience. You knew what it should be like so you knew when it was the right amount.
This type of recipe is known as "Soda cracker pies". My great grandmother Cox would bake it and it has become a family favourite. I inherited her Women's club cookbook that her mother gave her as a wedding gift and cherish it. If you need any new recipes let me know
This is the first full video I've seen of him, and holy hell! The level of information I was just given in one recipe explanation is fabulous! The egg white info alone isn't something I had any idea about.
This is the first long form video of yours I have seen and I absolutely love the glimpse into your process! From recipe research to experimentation, to notes regarding differences, to taste testing - I love it!
I've spent the last hour reading your comments, and I just wanted to say thank you so, so much for the kind words & love for the video. I'm obsessed about baking these old relics, and it means a lot that you're all willing (and seemingly like) to hear me yap about them. Thank you.
I was so estatic to discover you had a youtube because I dont use tiktok and you're just so fun and cool. You and Ann Reardon are best food channels
Great stuff

So true

@@grandmask I vouch for this.
Same. I don't dislike the shorts, but these longer ones are so much more enjoyable
"I don't want to bore anyone with recipe history" NO, MORE, IT'S SO GOOD!!
absolutely agree, thats one of the things i love about his long form.
Love recipe history! Ok I just history 😎
Team up with Max Miller, add a history lesson to it!
If you haven’t gotten him in your recommends, Tasting History by Max Miller will be up your ally. I think thats why Dylan was recommended to me…
I agree. I'm no history buff but the way he speaks about history just pulls you in and makes you interested! 😍 Love him ❤️
I just want to say, from the perspective of a woman achieving her master's in library information science with a certification in archival studies whilst surviving financially in 2024 USA, a majority of the time, through the unfortunate, painstaking career and love of baking/food - I commend you, B. Dylan Hollis. You keep history alive through tangible and, quite literally (and hopefully) digestible recipes and documentation. I salute you ;)

EXACTLY!!!
Absolutely 🤗
He is amazing 👏 😍
Agree!
AND he put his recipe in the description for everyone to use
Dylan's ability to complete a sentence, brain-straight-to-mouth, without going "uhm" or "uhh" is phenomenal.
Agree!! I Marvel at it.
As a serial dingus, it's one of the most impressive things I hadn't noticed before and now can't un-notice. Another reason to enjoy the hell out of his content, for sure!
He hails from the land of tiktok. There is no time for filler speech. But I suspect that while he truly does have a tremendous amount of practice with speaking, I think he cheats a bit with his cuts.
@HazelOnNutella. I agree completely. He is so adorable and witty. I want to see more videos of him. Not just tiktoks.
If he can't be good at being straight, he's gotta be good at something else containing the word straight.
Is it just me or would Dylan have made an excellent radio man back in the 60's? His voice is both enthusiastic and calming and it's just delightful.

Daniel hey there
The Food Network should give you a deal for a historical baking show. Love the little nuggets of incredibly specific history that you dig into.
This absolutely this
Normally I would be elated with the idea of a beloved youtuber succeeding so well that they become a household name! However. Network television BREAKS SPIRITS! They stomp on your hearts with thousands of contractual obligations and metric tonnes of conformity! He wouldn't ne allowed to make funny little sex jokes or use his cute little nicknames like floof powder/soda. He'd become...one of THEM.
I love the raw reality that Dylan has in his home produced videos. Having a food network show would make them make a sanitized version of his youtube videos. It would be on a set which would lack the pulled together quality of his kitchen, he would be performing from a script off a teleprompter. We would lose the asides and little giggles of surprise and delight. Plus, I'm not sure how supportive they would be of Dylan's sense of humor and how he tends towards double entendres. He would need to cede a lot of creative control. Maybe Netflix or Hulu would be a better fit since they have fewer concerns about mass market suitability.
That be cool, but I would miss the Dylan who screams at his ingredients and insults the weird monstrosity he cooked.
Either that, or get Netflix to do a deal for a series with this man. I'm sure everyone would watch him regardless. 😁

Thank you so much for commenting! I was hoping someone who remembered the recipe would chime in
My dude I could sit there and listen to you go on for hours about the history of cooking. NEVER think none of us care. I love your Tik Toks/Shorts, but these long form videos (while obviously SIGNIFICANTLY more work) are an absolute gem.
So do I ❤
Agreed! I adore the chaotic fun energy in the shorts, but the calm, obvious intelligence, and education of the long form videos make them a delight of a different kind
Pre-Dylan, there’s no way I would have watched a 40 min long video about old recipes. Damn this guy is entertaining. It’s like what they used to say about good comedians, how they could get laughs from reading the phone book out loud, that’s how good he is. Thanks Dylan, I really love these.
And I really love your username! 🖖
Iam glad you found your gate way drug into cooking if you were not big on it. The amount of people who act like cooking is a forbidden art or that think cooking is warming up pre made stuff worries and has done so since I was a young child.
Oh sweets you're missing out
"i would listen to him reading recipes from nineteenth century cook books"
Yeah. Just did.
It was 40 minutes!?
Laid back Dylan is really quite a departure from his normal hyper self. Yet, still the king of quips and double entendres. I will get this book and give to my daughter and son who quite the bakers. Enjoyable as always. Thank you.
A whole 40 minute video feels like a real treat. I love this.
I agree
100%
I just realised that this video was 40 mins after reading your comment
This was... Interesting. You're so much less chaotic in these longer videos, and yet even without that heaping serving of gremlin energy and blind baking jokes of dubious taste, you're still lighthearted, passionate, joyous, and just generally a pleasure to watch and listen to. You're the vibe equivalent of a warm hug from an old friend. I look forward to the release of the cookbook as my mother and I both quite enjoy your shorter vids!
Enjoyed this immensely but will never make this.
Lol, the difference between long video Dylan and short video Dylan is like watching 2 different cooking vids and I am here for both! Joyful chaos!
Gremlin energy!
When is a streaming service going to pick him up for a cooking show named after his cookbook?! We would all watch the hell out of that! He's got such presence and knowledge. He would be great on a show!
This is my dream show
Right?! I'd watch the hell out of that, too, and pimp it out to everyone I know!
Food Network? CALL HIM!!!!
Right!!?
I got to know him on TikTok being more open than this. I was impressed that I went along and added him to all my other accounts. I love his recipes and his personality.
Sir, your speech pattern is enchanting. Your vocabulary, cadence, and diction is so refreshing and sorely, desperately needed on the internet. I'm not even close to being a baker, but good lord do I want to watch more videos from you! Great work!
I would absolutely watch an entire TV season of hour-long episodes with Dylan doing deep-dives on recipes like this.
You and me both!! Someone at Food Network needs to give Dylan his own show, STAT!!
Me too!
OMG it's the trifecta of apoplectic Graham Kerr, Julia Child and Iron Chef! That would be a brilliant show!
@@skwerlmouseOoh, I loved watching The galloping gourmet!
I would if it is this quality. Not the quality brought by studios with music and crazy cut scenes.
I truly honestly could watch hours and hours and HOURS of you talking and cooking. The cadence of how you talk is so mesmerizing and I wasn't bored for a second. The consideration for literally everything and everyone is beautiful. Thank you for this. I'll never actually cook it but thank you for it!
I agree!
For real, I never watch livestreams but I would deadass watch a livestream of this guy cooking in a HEARTBEAT
I love your videos and your cook book is terrific.
This brings me back to the days when I would wait patiently for Alton Brown to release a Good Eats episode, not for the wacky characters but for the food history. The care that goes into the recipes, not to mention the research. This cinched it, I'm going to local bookstore in the morning and picking up a copy. Thank you, Dylan! The love and passion shows and is spreading to a new generation and even rekindled this old man's fire.
I love your enthusiasm, but you won't be able to find it anywhere tomorrow! The book doesn't release until July!
You can pre-order!!
He brought it back but it isn't the same 😔
Between Tasting History, B. Dylan Hollis, and Townsends, we're discovering a kind of trifecta of culinary tradition explorers
Dylan,
You are just awesome!
I've quit cooking because I used to cook with my husband he has long since dead for 17 years so I do not take pleasure in cooking anymore but you are making me rethink that I might like to start up again thank you
Is anyone else's favorite part of these videos when his eyes get wide and he smirks at how amazed he is when something tastes much better than he expected?
B. Dylan Hollis, you are a true gem in this big world of RUclips.
And when he smiles, his ears perk up. It's how you KNOW the recipe turned out tasty lol!
@@mamaseesa3122 He looks just like my daughter at three… she would hold her hands up and say “ Dee lish us” so cute!
You can really see how passionate he is about baking when he does that.
Please make more of these long form recipe deep dives. It's fascinating, and your delivery and even just your cadence are what make it so easily enjoyable. Just comfortable and delightful all around.
I second this! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I'm loving the longer videos!
+
Yes!!❤
Your use of language and
vocabulary are extremely refreshing! Not once did I hear the word 'like'... And you actually know how to put a sentence together.
I may have to buy your cookbook just to read it! I know it's not out yet, but I wish you would have made your book spiral-bound.... Just so it would lay flat. I know it's more expensive to do it that way, and many cook books have not been spiral-bound it's just a nice feature. ❤ I hope you go into many editions of your cookbook! 🥧🍴🇧🇸
This 40 minute experience has left me with a deep desire to hang out with Dylan in a relaxed setting and with an excellent good hug.
Hmm, how...incredibly specific yet maybe enjoyable.
I know right? I LOVE this guy, too cute for words, the world needs more Dylan Hollis
exactly
dylan and relax seems to be oxymoronic....this guy is wound tighter than a 2 dollar watch ( i mean this in only the most complementary way).
@@NoNameNoFace-rr7liPersonally I appreciate the energy, relaxed, yeah um NOPE...AGREED!
This scratches that constant itch of mine for getting deep in the proverbial weeds of kitchen nerdity and culinary science and why certain ingredients or processes work better, and I'm here for it. A+ presentation and content!
Dylan's tik toks are so loud and chaotic but somehow he has a voice made for bedtime stories in long form videos.
I love both of these Dylans.
In his TikTok videos, he reminds me of Martin Short, and I have always loved Martin Short, so I was immediately endeared to him. And I love his longform videos. He's an absolute delight.
@Hellbane224 dear god! You're right! That does make him more endearing. 😀
I approve this message🙏🏻
The duality of man
Get you a man who can do both
So awkward complement but, as an ADHDer watching a video this long is usually impossible for me. But with the change of angles, the speed at which you speak, sudden interesting facts, instructions, beeps, boops and basically everything, you are a dream come true. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Same! Enough going on to occupy my brain, but not so much as to over stimulate it. Perfection.
Omg this is so true!!! As someone who also has ADHD I was captivated the whole time which is rare for me nowadays
It's the same for my gson with adhd. His favorite bit is when Dylan yells, "FIRE!".
This. Exactly this!
I absolutely agree. I'm not diagnosed ADHD, but I do genuinely feel the same way about how he keeps me completely entertained and engaged without overdoing it.
He’s like one of those cool teachers that makes the lessons fun and rewards the kids with movies and pizza if they pass a quiz
This is my first time watching a full-length video despite watching your shorts for years.
I would probably watch a long form video like this for all 101 recipes in your cookbook.
Same!
Me too!
Agreed!
Yes!
Ditto I love watching long videos and it's always a plus when it's someone I like as much as Dylan
I've seen this guy's shorts and they're good fun and good for a chuckle. But this long-form content is...incredible. What a talented presenter. And what great research went into this work. Cool to see someone who has CLEARLY found their calling in life.
I had to laugh about seeing Dylan’s shorts. Picturing him prancing around in his underwear:)
Well said
Couldn't agree more. It's equal parts culinary history professor lecture (but in a fun way) and chatting with a friend while baking. It's so cozy and interesting
i think he did sugar for his videos, not drugs. hahaha
I came here to say the same thing. I just had to buy the book, too!
I feel like I'm watching someone's love and passion in a much more pure form than I'm used to on here. No production team, no phantom corporation floating in the wings, just someone who truly loves what they do. It's honestly really inspiring, and I deeply appreciate you.
Well put!
I sincerely hope you do more of these longer-form videos, I just love them. It shows the amount of love you have for cooking and the history behind the recipes and cookbooks.
As a lover of etymology and language development, I deeply appreciate seeing how recipes develop over time, reflecting the culinary trends and cultures over time. It's fascinating!
I love Townsends as well. It's so much fun listening to them break down recipes from the 1800's. Written in the same manner, with the expectation that you know what they're talking about.
It IS. I want to see more of his deep dives I actually find it fascinating and very engaging.
@@SandrA-hr5zk Townsends is incredible!
@@SandrA-hr5zkYeah the Townsends & Glenn & Friends are both good for a bit of food history.
I love how Dylan's all like, "I'm likely boring you to death" and really it's what we love! Also YES. I thought I was the only one who just put there egg shells back in the carton!
I put my shells back in the carton, as well. I don't want old egg smell possibly building up in my trash can as I use them.
I'd love for him to "bore us to death" with a 4, 6, 10 hour video with all the details he thinks we wouldn't want to hear.
Also, egg shells go back in the carton, definitely.
I second third fourth and fifth eggshells going back into the carton, and why not? 😏
I’d happily have sat here hearing him just talk for 40 minutes. He’s an excellent talker😊
I usually put them in my garbage disposal so it can be cleaned
HOLY COW I'm only used to 40 seconds of Dylan at a time. This is amazing! Please, more.
Amen ❤
Minutes :v
Came back after 10 months for a rewatch, and it was just as fascinating and captivating as the first time. You have a real talent for this, sir.
Is it just me, or do these videos remind anyone else of Good Eats? The melodic narration, detailed explanation of why and how a recipe is structured, and the small kitchen vibes really remind me of the first few seasons of Good Eats. I hope one day Dylan gets the recognition he deserves with a cooking show like that!
I love that D ain't so scientific. Alton's show excellent, but very different styles.
Love that idea!
Series for Dillon!!
Dylan needs his own show!
Oh my Lord maybe that's why I like him so much! I love me some Alton Brown
Omg yes. I was just thinking that!!! Alton Brown plus gene wilders Willy wonka!!!
He would lose freedom to be himself and in other ways. Not bad just part of it. Google/ YT is huge and worldwide. He has a NY Times best selling book, host of his own show, great fans all in the comfort of his own kitchen. What’s missing? This format is the future.
Anyone else want to watch him do different variations of baking throughout history. Cause I was enraptured the entire 40 minutes!
I would DEFINITELY watch it if he did a series like this. It’s so fascinating especially with the enthusiasm he brings!
ME TOO!!!!!
Me!!
I loved this video so much that i didn't realise it was 40 mins long.
It went by so fast as it was so enjoyable.
YES, please!
There's always Tasting History with Max Miller. He's not Dylan, but these vibes are similar.
I'd watch a 3 hour video of just going down the rabbit hole for a recipe and trying a few of them. It's not at all boring because of how passionate he is about the whole process!
Agreed! I LOVE this level of investigation.
never underestimate how much fun it can be watching someone talk about their passion.
I absolutely love your streaming. They’re so fun. Keep up the great work in Brightening up my day.
i need this guy to get a cooking show on these old recipes. i don't care if the episodes are almost an hour long, this is PEAK content to me. absolutely wonderful
god a cooking show that is slower paced and has a warm vibe that actually goes into the recipes history and creation
That's why I loved watching Alton Brown..he gave you a cooking show, a history lesson and a science experiment
Just the perfectly balanced combination of sincere interest and passion, confident knowledge and a gift for teaching. I love it
@@katteisace4563 Got to recommend Tasting History with Max Miller if something similar to this description is the aim, different energy to Dylan but also full of cool food history and cozy vibes
I learned to love cooking/baking by watching Alton Brown over 20 years ago. Dylan brings back that sense of exploration, science, and utter joy. His delight is magnetic. Thanks so much for being you, buddy.
I would almost suggest the two of them do a joint project, but I’m just not sure the vibes would mesh. But both are GREATS in my book!!
You might enjoy Max Miller on yt then! He does "Tasting History"
Likewise, Alton came to my mind watching this. And Dylan, don't believe for a moment those science and history segments are boring.
@@samanthab3292 I’ll take a look😁
*I remember this show* but I can't remember the name... do you?
I always thought it was a synonym for Ambrosia. That Nuts and Dates joke is perfect 😂
He said the nuts and dates thing so fast and with a straight face, I almost missed it 😂
Sneaking those double entendres from TikTok over to RUclips.
He's actually done an Ambrosia recipe on TikTok.
I’m sick and I just discovered this guy and now I couldn’t be happier😊
I would 100% watch an hour long video of him exploring recipe history and baking every iteration.
PLEASE collaborate with tasting history
He's the baker's Alton Brown, imho. I adore them both
I just LOVE your vocabulary and sentence structure. Even when you're not joking you're just super fun to listen to
I too love how he speaks. It's quite amazing how long he can speak without taking a breath.
@@Teresia12 And no "ums" all without sounding scripted or like he's reading. Impressive!
I just love how passionate this dude is for baking, and how well spoken. I'm not even a baker, but this is so enjoyable and wholesome to watch regardless
He also seems to know his food history, back when he was talking about how Graham crackers were all the rage back then.
😆😆😆Not all of his content is so wholesome, but he is always funny
*regardless
You could never bore anyone. I would listen to you for hours.
This guy must be absolutely raking it in on tik tok which makes me really appreciate him taking the time to create a 40 minute, incredibly engaging RUclips episode. I love this. Thanks for spoiling us, Dylan!
TikTok doesn't pay a lot unless you're uber-popular
@@flygirl6048 yeah, the way to make money would be to get popular and then use your audience to sell a product (which he has done)
It’s unlikely that he’s getting paid for Tik Tok. He’s not American, and I know they don’t pay any Canadian content providers.
@@karenneill9109 He's not Canadian. He's from Bermuda. Not sure but last I saw (and it could be an older "short" on YT) he was attending school in America. Also, he has over 9.8M subscribers on TikTok and 1.9M on YT.
Forgot one: He appeared on Kelly Clarkson's show too.
"I think physical labor tastes good." Dylan, that's adding heart and love to the dish. It's the human element that makes home cooking so special
Dylan could make a whole series like these, and I would binge-watch them all in one night.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next long form video to come from you. Hearing you talk with such a level of interest and passion on these recipes is a joy!
These longform videos are an absolute delight. I love hearing Dylan discuss the process; the passion for his craft just radiates off of him.
I know this video is almost a year old by this point, but I just stumbled across it and wanted to say that it is absolutely lovely. Incredibly wholesome and a joy to watch. I hope you make more videos like this in the future!!
Ohh you would love some classical scandi dishes
MY GOD. How the hell have I missed the fact that Dylan does long format videos? LOVE this man's zest for cooking.
IM YELLING AND PUMPING MY FISTS this is the content i needed 😭✨👏🏼👏🏼for real these long video are extremely informative, thought provoking, and entertaining!! I like watching them especially when I'm bored while doing cardio at the gym!
Me 2 😂
Yeah the shorts are pretty funny but a tad intense for the average foody.
He doesn’t do many.
I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy watching your videos, especially these longer ones. You have a delightful sense of humor and way of expressing yourself. And I love it when you incorporate some of your amazing musical talent! You are just a joy to watch. Thank you for doing what you do!
I just love this. There are no jump cuts, you take your time explaining things. It's bloody brilliant.
Yes I was thinking this myself. Wonderfully informative, especially about the salt in the crackers
there are plenty of jump cuts. just not when pertinent information is involved. He uses them to condense his rants into curt but formal informational narrations.
There are definitely jump cuts lol. But he’s still amazing. Nothing wrong with jumpcuts
Yes! He's really amazing at this if you think about it. So well spoken! He doesn't need fancy editing, and is smart enough not to ruin it with that.
I don't think u know what a jump cut is....
This makes me feel the way Good Eats made me feel as a kid. I've missed this feeling
YES, the Good Eats feeling, I never learned so much about food science as I did from that show.
Oh my god you are 100%right this is incredible
Oh my gosh, yes. Without the arrogant edge Alton could have sometimes. ❤
Loved that show on food network, I always watched it if it was on when I was younger.
@@WendyWHeath THIS! I do love Alton, but you're right - he could sometimes come across as a little arrogant. Dylan is giving Alton Brown, but more down to earth and accessable
Dylan just casually referring to himself as a cracker is exactly why I’m here. 🤣♥️
Or a fruit😂
All of the innuendos and double entendres he casually throws around is one of my favorite aspects of his content lol
No seeming, we do like your yappings! And the feral and unique intelligence behind it, along with the fact that you can hide both when an interview with morning hosts looms. Good job, and please go on being you. You're the best source of fun I've found since Terry Pratchett.
No one here thinks you're baking history is boring. We are here for your knowledge and expertise 🥰
I love it 😻
I don't even eat sugar, or flour for that matter. I'm here for the humor and the passion for history.
FYI, if no one has answered yet, Cool Whip is mostly hydrogenated vegetable oil. There is a little milk in the regular fat stuff (because they also make a lite version) but it's essentially whipped margarine, sugar and vanilla.
Ahh, so mock cream.
I legit just thought it was an American whipped cream brand a lot of Americans were using 😅
Yep, I'm lactose intolerant, and as far as I can tell, cool whip has no milk
Fuck me, America sounds like an awful place to live based solely on that sentence.
I had no idea that it was mostly dairy free. :O
If you’ve been contacted by food network or Netflix to get a show… make sure you do it exactly how you see it. Don’t let them box you in (not that I think you would, you’re awesome). You make 20x better content than their writers and producers. The only thing they can give you is production (camera and sound crew etc) and a new platform. You are a born entertainer and could’ve gone in any direction. I’ll watch anything you do!
I'd love to see Dylan partner with Alton, where Dylan does exactly what he's doing in this video by looking up and trying old recipes, and Alton provides some context in history that shaped the dish and tastes when it was developed.
@@GreenLantern814 Alton is a tool. Dylan is better on his own!
Ngl I'd love to see Dylan be a guest judge on Nailed It. Their bombastic over the top approach is pretty in line with the energy in his tiktoks and I think him, Nicole, and Jaques would bounce off each other well
@@barbacostavervoorn2332/ Alton is very funny and well educated!! I've learned so much, watching his shows!!
I know you rarely do these long form videos but this was the most fun I’ve had with your content. Bring on more long form, comparing recipes throughout time, and exploring the differences. I just LOVE this
Your long forms are the best. As a fan of weird history, your deep dives into recipes of the past, is almost like a Time Machine…. It’s a little bit of the past, how people lived and ate in the past. Truly wonderful too see you back with the long forms. 👍🏻
Much agreed, it's very comfy.
I agree! I love how he goes more in depth into the recipes
I feel like I'm seeing something more like the real Dylan Hollis-thoughtful and well read-rather than the frenetic persona he puts on for TikTok.
I concur!! It's fascinating!
While I enjoy your tiktoks, I love the addition of the discussion of baking science and history behind the recipes. So cool to learn!
Giving Alton Brown vibes like that
Exactly! I forgot to mention that aspect in my own comment. I love the extra info included on how and why some ingredients work in recipes.
Way more interesting than Alton Brown. And he doesnt come off like a know it all😊
It is!!!!😂
Me too!! The tip about wiping the inside of the egg white bowl with vinegar? Never in a million years would have known that!
WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU! And a 40 minute episode?! SUCH A DELIGHTFUL TREAT! Same as you, as always. ♥
Yeah. I didn't know this would be 40 minutes when I clicked but here we are. Lol. The only annoying thing were all the little 'I'm probably boring you with all this' comments. Like no, I'll sit here for 2 hours if you want to share more. Lol.
@@amandaday313 Exactly! PLEASE, DYLAN! If this is "boring", PUT US INTO A GIDDY COMA!
This is one of the VERY FEW channels I will rewatch every video for when I feel like enjoying such a mood lightener like this adorable man. His curiosity and joyous demeanor, and that silly and sassy sense of humor make it all the better.
Right? I was going to comment that this video was a delight to watch. This man is pure joy.
I love how you can tear a recipe apart and put it back together in the best way ever. Love your cookbook.
You are too talented and have too much personality to squeeze into short form videos. The format of this video, the topic, the way you spoke about it, and just the food itself was all a work of art. WELL done with this! 🫰🏻I really hope you can see the potential in these long form videos on RUclips. Enjoyed every minute, and I’m so happy I found your channel through this video popping up on my feed
Amen hw nice all y say an so mour he is my man go do it God got y see not liy se under sell go m
I agree, he does very well with longer form content.
Agreed!!
Charisma level maxed
@@shannoncervantes2836 wtf did I just read?
You’ve totally transformed our kitchen vernacular 😂 none of us say baking powder anymore 😂 it’s officially floof powder! Same with “CINNAMIN!!!” “Eggees” “watuh!” & of course, “FIYAH!!!”
You remind me so much of my late Uncle. We’d call him Uncle Buppy. You share mannerisms and clever humor and timing and a love for yesteryear.
So thank you for bringing his memory back into my mind and for becoming a family friend 😊
this commnt is incredibly sweet and warm. thank you for making me smile and probably Dylan, too :)
Don’t forget the “nilla” 😁
Your know, sometimes I catch myself saying moo juice instead of milk... And I crack a smile everytime!
Yes i love when he sings or hums when hes baking! It sounds like something that would be in an old show
And I can't light a flame
..anywhere without exclaiming, "FIYAH!"
All I want in life is a Dylan & Sorted Food collab where they cook and bake from antique cookbooks.
Would be a fun mix of personalities!
Oh god.... I didn't know I needed this but I do!!!
Or Dylan and Max Miller from Tasting History.
I really just want to see Dylan play with a copy of Mrs Beeton's
@@CalypsoTheJellyfish that or Le Repertoire de la Cuisine.
"If what your doing works, don't let people tell you what to do"
Thank you Dylan! That's actually really inspirational!
I love that you walked through your process for how you deciphered old recipes and work shopped them to work for as many people as possible. You're a great teacher!
That's what I thought as I was listening to the video. Why didn't I have this guy teaching me cooking when I was younger. I wouldn't hate baking probably at this point. Thanks to my mom I love cooking but baking forget it
This man's joy in baking is just so infectious and genuine, I love it
The saltine crumbs may have been a way to add salt to cut the sweetness and add a bit of a thickening agent.
Yeap.. was gonna say the same
I also would have put half of the eggs in then add the mixins and then top with the rest to reduce the amount of air lost
After watching your shorts for years, seeing a long form video. I had to click and watch. Love the history, journey and your enthusiasm. Would definetly love more long form videos! Thank you for bringing back some extra history of baking!
I really REALLY loved all the “boring” history and explanations. I think many of us would enjoy more videos of you nerding out on recipes that you enjoy. Thanks Dylan!
I love how happy Dylan gets when he talks about his methods and reasons for baking and writing his own book. True fulfillment and joy is evident in this man.
Here in western Maryland we have a very small chain of stores called " Farmers Market" they had a pre-flowered dates, about 1/16 cubes. The chain was only 3 stores, up for sale, they had a big enough sales that they worked with westvaco (west Virginia pulp and paper co.) That they would send the big rolls of paper out west and bring back produce
I'm 71, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to the concoctions. Jello salad, with shredded carrots for the main course, alongside the meatloaf, and with pineapple chunks by itself. It's a miracle! A miracle, I tells ya!
Dylan, thank for bringing a joy and wisdom to baking. You're a delight to listen to and watch. Keep doing what you love. Your passion has inspired me to grab my great grandmother/grandmother/mother's old cookbooks and dig in. Only luv to u from upsate NY.
Dylan, you are absolutely one of the bravest culinary souls on the internet. Some of the recipes you dig up are experimental at best. The courage you exhibit while trying these is incredible.
You manage to ignite my love of baking by embodying my most favorite attributes of Alton Brown and Bill Nye, the science guy, and be your beautifully unique self, Dylan. You are a gem to the baking world, and I so adore you.
I love your videos and they way you make baking fun and entertaining! Have you found a cookie called "Cowboy cookies"? My dad loved them and I don't know where and when they came from.
I love your choices and descriptions😊 the Old ways were stepping stones for experiments with new modern Ingredients, but we may need that knowledge again shortly. Its good to know both and your style makes it entertaining. Thank you for being genuine.
You don't bore us when sharing your passion with us, you're pure delight
I watched this series last year when it first came out, and sincerely enjoyed it. I found it again today after a rather difficult day for personal reasons and well... I am going to bed smiling at Mr. Hollis' genuine warmth, his energy, and his love of the subject matter. I've never seen a cooking personality with this kind of emotional range or ability to connect in an earnest way. Thank you, Mr. Hollis, for brightening a difficult day.
The thing i love about watching Dylan's videos, is just how much you can tell how passionate he is about baking and history and that's just wonderful to watch. I hope he does more long form videos in the future.
I’m in pastry arts school and work in a bakery, and somehow even when I’m burnt tf out watching, your videos on baking (both the tiktoks and the long ones) remind me why I love it. Thank you for the 40 minutes of relaxing, recharging, and nerding out over recipes with you!
If you're so inclined, a youtube series of your favorite recipes from your book and how you developed them + the recipe you based it off on would be absolutely wonderful and interesting!
I put together a family cookbook about 40 years ago from the favorite recipes of mine and my husbands families going all the way back to great-grandparents. Some of the recipes harken back to the late 1800’s. One of them is called Chinese Chews and they are very similar to your Food for the Gods. One difference is that they were dusted with powdered sugar after baking in a 9X13 pan and cut into squares.
I love you and your recipes and have tried few of them most recently your Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies. I also ga e your cookbook as a gift to a friend of mine. She absolutely loves it and is a big fan of yours.
Is it just me or are there others who just love to hear Dylan speak? It's so soothing to hear old world finesse English casually interspersed between more modern language.
To me, the old world language sounds more musical and rhythmic combined with more contemporary familiar phrases. A symphony of sorts. If I may...❤
Lol I'm not here for the video I have it playing while I'm cleaning.
@@ablbelle8953 SACRILEGE!
@@ablbelle8953 wow that's a new one 🤣..at least this helps you clean...me I just listen and smile like an idiot for no reason 🤦♀️
he definitely hasn't a British accent though!
It's the care you take in your delivery that really makes these more casual, long format videos so enjoyable. It is very refreshing to hear someone be so decisive in their words, and to say exactly what you mean. The more relaxed videos are just delightful.
37:56 I like how it feels like Dylan is like sitting on my kitchen floor infront of my oven with me, comforting me about why my glass pan isn’t working 😂😂
Right? It took me years, YEARS, before I read an article somewhere-maybe "Cooks Illustrated." And do have any idea how many glass baking vessels my hubs and I received as wedding gifts? Forty years later I still have one or two. Sturdy little suckers. I feel like air should send them to Dylan, who would appreciate the nostalgia.
Please make more long-form content! This video was so calming and interesting
When the world needed him most, HE RETURNED!!!!!!! With a 40 min banger vid and WHOLE ASS cook book!? LETS GO!!!
In defense of the vague molasses candy recipe, in 1908, most people rarely ate store bought candy , or went to a restaurant. So you knew the basics of making all the things, you were just looking to read how Mable , down the road made her fantastic molasses candy or what all Gertrude put in that award winning banana cake. At least that is my theory
So true. Candy was once a rare treat you got on special occasions only. Most women had been cooking since they could walk so they knew how to make almost anything. They just wanted to know what secret ingredient that ribbon winning desert might have🤣🤣. My dad's dad actually worked for a candy maker and my father talks about his making all kinds of treats. His recipes were a pinch of this a touch of that🤣. Because you were going by experience. You knew what it should be like so you knew when it was the right amount.
This type of recipe is known as "Soda cracker pies". My great grandmother Cox would bake it and it has become a family favourite. I inherited her Women's club cookbook that her mother gave her as a wedding gift and cherish it. If you need any new recipes let me know
If you do a soda cracker pie with fresh cut strawberries and homemade whipped cream on top, you’ll make it for life

This is the first full video I've seen of him, and holy hell! The level of information I was just given in one recipe explanation is fabulous! The egg white info alone isn't something I had any idea about.
This is the first long form video of yours I have seen and I absolutely love the glimpse into your process! From recipe research to experimentation, to notes regarding differences, to taste testing - I love it!
