Hello Everyone!!!
I’m excited for you to check out this new episode! As always, thanks for taking the time to watch and let me know what you think!
Hey Daniel! When did you work at Noma? 😀
@@sisterslothington Hello! From late 2011 to the end of 2015!
@@danielgiusti6731 OH wow! You probably worked with my brother Alexander then? 😄
Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos.
Dude you're super tall.
"sometimes i gotta flex on these people here" do more of that!!! that was hilarious
Sometimes you just have to :)
Wonder what else goes behind the scene there.
I am NOT a fan of cauliflower but these recipes do look delicious. I will try just because Dan is the man ! And i trust his chef skills all the other recipes i have tried have been delicious so far! Keep up the awesome work dude. Cheers from your biggest fan in Colombia amigo!
Thanks for the continued support!!!
I’m crushing on Dan.
I love this dude, always watch the videos he is in
These receipies look amazing! A tip from a greek, put the yogurt sauce on the pita, between it and the gyros! It would be easier to eat without making a mess and the sauce will make the pita softer and moisture. 😎
Think of anchovies as a seasoning, folks! That is their intended use and they are quite useful! 😊
I'm always telling my mom about Dan's videos! She loves cauliflower so I'm excited to show her this. Thanks for another awesome video!!
Oh nice! I hope she likes it!!!
Dan, you have quickly become one of my favorite chefs. I’ve made your canned tuna chowder, frozen cauliflower orecchiette, and we just finished our canned salmon frittata dinner. All so delicious. Can’t wait to make that gyro next week! 🥰
Love cauliflower - definitely got some great ideas. I also love that chef Dan understands that these are meant to be affordable dishes for anyone so he throws in tons of useful advice for less experienced cooks, like "if it doesn't sizzle just take it out and wait for the oil to heat some more". Chef Dan is the man!
Instead of using a box grater to rice the cauliflower for the porridge, cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse a few times in the food processor. Pulse until it has that rice-grain texture.
Dan's camera presence has been improving steadily. Great episdoe.
Thank you :)
Omg yessss another video with Dan!!!
A favorite serie of mine, thanks for your content😚😚
My absolute favorite YT series!
Cauliflower is my absolutely favorite veggie. I’m sooooo excited to try all of these recipes. Thank you so much, Chef Dan!
Dan's the man! Always love watching these videos.
Thank you ☺️
This is the best series ever! Keep it coming pleaseee
These instructions have such a base in functionality that I love it! If it's delicious and healthy it's not on the plate for long enough to look pretty despite the fact it still looks appealing.
Oh my gosh, my brother used to be a chef at Noma too. ❤️😲 I was excited to to see this because I want to fall in love with Cauliflower again and it was an extra treat to see someone who worked at Noma too!!
Very nice and everyone can learn something new.
I have never wanted to eat cauliflower more than I do now after watching this episode lol
Sometimes I gotta flex on these people to let em know I can cook ~ had me cracking
The reveal of the ingredient at the beginning got me 🤣🤣🤣
Daniel - They all looked simple and delish! But that (pale) cauliflower/Cesar salad was begging for one cherry tomato sliced in half to round out the color palette. Remember, 3 colors on every plate..you eat with your eyes first
Damn really like this guy he's not all technical he's got that human touch to himself
Thank you 😊
Love these videos. Would love to see a video with budget meals from different cuisines. Like budget chinese 3 meals
Excellent content. I learn something in every one of your videos, boss!
Always love when Dan is teaching us!! Amazing video!
Chef Dan is the absolute best!
I am a bit skeptical to try the cauliflower porridge as my brain cannot wrap my head around the ingredients and whether I would like the taste and texture. I might make a cauliflower mashed like a potato with the garlic and spinach. Recipe 2 and 3 definitely looks great
I'd recommend taking an immersion blender to the porridge and cooking it down a fair bit. That would probably make a huge difference.
@@veraducks and poach the egg, when he stirred in the raw egg yolk, I just instinctively shuddered and went 'eww'
@@suelfitz That's not actually needed and an extremely common thing to do with starch bowls like this. Congee, malt o meal, or even just plain rice is hot enough when steaming to cook an egg yolk. You're basically poaching it in the porridge.
Though, yeah, there's an inherent ick favor to a raw egg on top of something. Not the first time I've seen that reaction.
@@suelfitz raw eggs are mostly okay to eat, unless you live in the US where eggs are washed so hardly that the protective layer against pathogens is gone. But I totally understand that eating raw animal proteins can be icky, but see it just like sashimi. Or maybe try Japanese eggs sometimes, they're actually sweet and does not have that sulfuric smell 😊
You can definitely make a cauliflower puree with milk and cream/butter, but one big bowl of puree will be a lot to finish 😅
love Dan, love what he does, and love that he actually makes me want to eat cauliflower
Cauliflower can also be used for vegan orange chicken! 😋
"vegan"
"chicken"
Those two words go against each other. Choose one.
@@walkelftexasranger Don't be obtuse, they obviously meant a "vegan replacement for chicken" because, shockingly, some people want to be vegan for other reasons than not liking the taste/texture of meat.
@@Kristiekins2 🤓
@@Kristiekins2 Ah thank you. I was little bit confused about what she meant by ''vegan orange chicken'.
My favorite series! Thank you for another informative and fun video!
Awesome! Looks amazing and so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
You're a real life hero Dan! Love these videos :)
There's my guy....
Looking forward 2 this one...
I Absolutely Love Cauliflower!!!
Let's Go!!!
Great recipe! Looks nice! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍
2:00 Surely it should be grate until you feel unsafe?
A restaurant by me makes roasted crispy cauliflower. It's delicious!!! When cooked right cauliflower is amazing.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch
I love the three recipes, thanks
@10:16 Me in his car at the end of our 2nd date
I loved how you showed not only different recipes in terms of components, but also four different ways to utilize a cauliflower. Definitely will be trying the whole cauliflower roast. Thanks Dan.
P.S. Your softer pronunciation of gyros (γύρος) at 5:25 was actually like a local's😆
Well thank you!!!!!
Chef, I’m Greek so the way to pronounce gyro is yee-ro.. And as a matter of fact you pronounced it right. Love your videos and all that you do. 🤩
always love this dude's content
Could you "steak" the cauliflower then put the gyro marinade on it, better coverage for the marinade. Then stack it and cut it like traditional gyro meat.
Great idea!!
Thank you again for amazing tips !
You are very welcome!
Omg that Caesar recipe looks so good. Thanks Dan!
The roasted cauliflower! That’s a must do, along with everything else in the video.
Would love to see an episode featuring tofu! Different levels of firmness make it so incredibly versatile.
I LOVE cauliflower, my most favourite is Chicken curry with potatoes and cauliflower...omg, it's so morish!
Click so fast whenever Dan appears in the thumbnail!
I used to hate hollyflower and brussel sprouts until I learned that roasting them made them amazing! Now Cauliflower is one of my favorite roasted vegetables to eat. I can't wait to try these!!
I'm loving these recipes and can't wait to try. I'd like to do a tomato risotto with the cauliflower
Ooh I'll be trying the porridge first! What a nifty idea!
It’s really tasty!!
Haha... I just had cauliflower salad as a side dish for dinner. It truly is wonderful pan-seared, but I make mine with diced cucumbers, fennel seeds, and an Italian-style dressing.
If anyone has not used grated cauliflower as a rice substitute, you totally should. It's one of my favorite vegetables and much more versatile than you might think!
Ohhh I've never found a way to enjoy cauliflower....
Bring it on. I can't wait to try these
Hopefully one of these will do the trick!
Yayaya! I suggested cauliflower! I feel heard :)
It is Dan's day again 🙂
I actually buy quite a lot of cauliflowers but rarely cook them. I just like munching on a few pieces for snack.
Yet, that sauce for the cauliflower steak looks delicious and I am planning to give a try.
And also, we throw away the leaves but here I learned that they are edible. Thank you for these tips.
If you wanted to season the croutons a bit more, what herbs would you suggest? Seems like that salad is really cauliflower heavy, but I feel like I want some herbs in there somewhere.
I love this guy ! I think this is one of the best videos he has made so far 😊
Yo why did those cauliflower gyros look so bomb, I’m totally trying that tomorrow
Because they were delicious!!
@@danielgiusti6731 yep, that would do it! 😅 I’m trying to eat more veg at the moment, and cauliflower is a brilliant substitute for meat, so these are going in my recipe book next to cauliflower “wings”
I looooooooooove cauliflower and that Caesar dressing is inspired 🤩
Incredible!
woah that roast cauliflower looks great
Mouthwatering veggies..
CAULIFLOWER? 🤔 Interesting theme this time. Very cool!
Video with Dan Giusti. Liked before watching. Anyone else?
Cauliflower in soups, stews, and stir fries are great too! They are used a lot in chinese cooking 😃
Omg using cauliflower as the dressing base instead of oil is genius!!! Will try that for sure
I did a comparison check, because I suspected that it's not going to be the same for most people....and here's my findings...all prices from the supermarket I shop at, as listed on their website right now.
Cauliflower 5.1
Vegetable stock 0.92
Garlic 1.2
Spinach 4.5
Butter 2.12
Salt 0.01
Chili sprinkle 0.25
Eggs 1.71
Total 15.81
Ew, is butter really $2 a stick where you live? That's so expensive.
@@Violet-fj3lr Butter is between NZ$6 to NZ$9 for 250g block....mind you though, US$9 = to NZ$14.67, so it's not too much different from his estimation
"That's a lot of garlic"
No it isn't it's barely any garlic
Catch me putting a whole bulb in there
The garlic didn't bother me, but a whole stick of butter was a little much for that amount of spinach.
It was the first time I had eaten a raw yolk (except for desserts, where in Poland versions with raw yolks or egg whites are very popular) as a dinner dish in the Czech Republic. Their garlic soup with ham, a ton of croutons and cheese was wonderful! The raw yolk in a very hot liquid started to "boil" from the edge, but was still liquid to thicken the broth.
I'd love a video of this series for canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
mind blown!
The gyro looked amazing
You actually nailed γύρο (gyro). Kudos!
Wow so good
Informative and enjoyable video. Thank you 🥰
the whole stick of butter for the porridge 😭 it looks v interesting tho, ill probably try it with half a stick instead
A whole stick of butter? He was talking about the garlic and spinach and I’m still on a WHOLE stick of butter
So glad I subbed to this channel. Love this guy! So down to earth AND clever. Thank you, Chef Dan!
Thank you for these interesting and economical meals!
Hi! Love the recipes ... especially the Caesar Salad. Is there any way to download written recipes this channel?
These are so fun! Tonight I’m making the canned tomato pork ribs, but I’ll have to fit some of these new recipes in soon. Would you ever do an episode featuring instant ramen?
I think they are putting emphasis on cooking fresh ingredients, always important.
Awesome!!! Let me know how the ribs come out!
Can't wait to try the gyros chef!
I am always amazed for the amount of butter chefs use, I mean how many bars of better do they have on their freezer? I will use a spoon of butter and that's it lol
Dan Giusti is my Julia Child. I make his recipe's more than anyone else's. ❤
Idk why but I have the urge to make the Cesar salad cauliflower like the thick piece he browned and I got some ypugurt and mayo and some Tikka curry and try it
Cauliflower is one of my favorite tho Fs to eat. I usually shredded and cook it like rice. Is just delicious. I will try some of these for sure !!!
Dan is the man
I think that it's a good idea to put an raw egg in hot water for about 2-3 minutes before breaking it.
Getting yolk will be easier and getting sick less likely ;)
Probably the best cooking series on youtube. Thank you Dan!
Dan is our man
That’s very nice of you to say!!! Thank you!
Your Pronounced gyro correctly the first time. "year row "You even rolled the "R "
Super weird to just stick with the wrong pronunciation if you first got it right. Just call it a wrap or sandwich instead.
I did not have high hopes for the cauliflower Caesar, but it was very nice.
Yum!
they should do a chef vs teen making the same food recipe or something. i also volunteer for the teen pt lmaoo i think it’d be fun to see younger kids trying to cook grown up foods since i’m sure every teen makes average food recipes, it’d be something new for the channel as well
This was great - I've a cauliflower in the cupboard and never have any ideas as to how to use the damn thinga
I love cauliflower but i always just make it the way my mom did. So excited to try these out
I want to cook the first meal😍
