People who truly care about what they do want to help others do well in that field. All of the chefs and normals on sorted do this, and you can tell they all like each other. If your guy friend isn't screwing with you, that's when you know you aren't really friends. Guys screw with each other, it's in the DNA. But being snarky or insulting isn't bad, if it's done in good fun.
His coaching style is fantastic. Leads them to their own answers instead of just giving them, is brutally honest but never comes across as mean spirited in any way. Walking that line betweent telling someone you know they can do better without making them feel like they've failed is super tough. He's an excellent teacher
kush may be chaotic but he makes for a good teacher. he really makes the boys taste their dishes, identify their mistakes themselves, and then gives notes and advice on how to improve the next time around. and you can tell he's worked in restaurants by how fast and choppy he moves 😂
And it’s a weird thing to get wrong too because it’s so easy to remember. 100g -> 1 egg. I was going to say that the only recipe easier to remember is pound cake but actually there you have to remember 4 eggs (which I suppose is 1 egg per ingredient but it’s still adding complexity)
The great thing about this format is that it shows that you can cook a fairly decent dish even if you are a normal, but it clearly highlights the differences between a trained chef and home cook. Sometimes when it is only Ben or Kush cooking, their methods and thinking seems so obvious, but this simultaneous stuff really directs the attentiton to the differences that can add that extra touch.
Excellent vid. I feel Kush is really starting to come into his own as a presenter, and this definitely shows. Excellent tips, and excellent blend of being pointedly unhelpful while also coming to support with the rolling. I look forward to seeing more of him and definitely Ben and Kush face offs.
So much to enjoy in this video - the growing bromance between Kush and Jamie - sooo many innuendos - infinite pasta loop - Kush dissing Jamie's burnt chicory - Jamie's knife skills badge being put to excellent use with the butternut squash - Kush turning more and more into a youtuber... Love absolutely all of it!
Love kush’s feedback, he seems like such a great teacher. Really gets the boys to stop and think their way through it themselves then gives specific feedback
I love watching Kush in these videos. He clearly knows what he’s doing, but he doesn’t lord it over the normals. He’ll step around and help a little if needed, or throw out hints, and it’s just so wholesome!
kush is so sweet in this video you can see how he really cares about Jamie and actually wants to help and the thing he tells him about his dish are actually in a respectful learning way I loved it
Love all the guys and gals. Kush just has a great way of explaining exactly what he is doing and, more importantly, why he is doing it. Thanks for all the content, guys!
What I love about Kush is that he may be harsh at times, but always follows it with advice on how to improve and fix that mistake (unless it's something they already know). He cares about food, and he knows they care about getting better, so he helps them. And help sometimes has to be blunt. It's just good mentoring! And yeah he's snarky, but he's thier friend, it's all within the bounds he knows they're comfortable with. It'd all in good fun :)
Kush not only is a wonderfully talented chef, he is a kind man. I enjoy how he can joke with everyone without being mean and condescending. I like that no matter what he does he is always teaching and encouraging. I've also learned a lot of things to do and not to do from his tips while he is cooking. Jamie has come such a LONG way in his skills and knowledge. You both made lovely dishes. Did anyone notice Jamie's plating?.....Great job!
Kush is immune to pressure, Jamie....not so much. Loved this battle!! for Barry, it has to be something classic, beef bourguignon. his "I can mess with this" attitude will be flummoxed. Thank you guys for making cooking fun again!
You can clearly tell with how Kush looked after Jamie said he completely failed at the butter sauce that he didn't like the way Jamie put himself down. Kush is extremely supportive of the normals.
Kush is such a great addition. The way he "breaks down" what he's done and what can be done with the "normals" dish is really helpful, easy to pick up.
Love watching Kush in the kitchen. It just flows, so organically. It’s always a pleasure to watch a master of their craft at work, all the more so when they share what they’re doing and why, and he’s really grown into a very capable instructor. Love the way he not only critiques Jamie’s dish, but tells him how to fix the issues. Very cool…..and all the time there’s the knowledge that simmering just below the surface is a chaos gremlin with a blowtorch fixation lol
I really like this format. Kush is a natural teacher - a very skilled chef who is willing to help and guide the 'normals'. He is the antethesis to Gordon Ramsay (and I do like GR but would not want him coaching me). Would be interested to see some episodes where a 'normal' is given a dish to cook and then Kush (or Ben) asks them what their plan is and helps them, on an ongoing basis, refine what they would have done into something achievable but more chefy
I'm so in love with Kush's vibe. He's an amazing mix of cheek, intelligence, charisma, cleverness, charm, and genuine desire to share knowledge and teach and have fun.
Kush is perfect for this channel. As a long-time fan, I am so happy to see him join in with more videos. Perfect addition to the original cast. More Please!
I love Kush's sass with the pasta recipe and how supportive he is giving Jamie feedback on his dish and how to improve it, and then the back to the sass with the "burning charring the chicory". I love this series with him and Jamie or Mike, they're just comedians.
Blind cook-off should be a series with guest chefs! Not always chef vs normal, but also Sorted chef vs guest chef. It highlights the chef skills so nicely.
Hearing genuine constructive criticism is really helpful in this video, as Jamie is making the kind of mistakes I would (while still doing really well) and Kush does a great job of walking Jamie through the solution in a clear simple way rather than putting him down or hunting for something to be nice about. More of Kush choosing winners and giving honest feedback please!
kush is a different beast i swear. 10:45 picks up chicory and strains it with bare hands and you can see the steam coming off it. has he got no sensation in his hands or something.
I really like how Kush gives tips on how to improve, like how he goes through Jamie's sauce and how he made it, his huge amount of experience really comes through with his coaching too.
I absolutely love Kush’s energy and approach. He is so much fun to watch and see his interactions with the team. Another wonderful dimension to the team.
Really enjoying seeing more of Kush. He enjoys some snark but he also has such a continually positive attitude towards food, and helping his friends learn.
The best thing the Sorted guys have done for years is bring Kush to the other side of the camera. Not only is he great in front of the camera, but he has mountains of experience, and he's not afraid to share it. He could talk anyone through making any dish. Absolutely love him. Well done guys!
I absolutely love Kush and Jamie in these videos. Seeing how much Kush cares about teaching what he’s learned over the years, and how both their personalities riff off each other so smoothly. Chefs kiss 😘
It's so rare to see an honest opinion on a vid. Everyone who tastes something on screen says "MMmm, that's wonderful." So, it's great to hear Kush critique a dish honestly without ragging it. :D
Can I just say, I’m very happy with Kush being part of the group! He’s not substituting for James as I feared at first but I’m happy to have been proven wrong! 😁
I love Kush being on the channel. Especially when he is teaching the audience and the normals certain techniques. Like tasting Jamie's food and explaining how he could make changes to make it better.
Jamie and Kush are such a nice couple, i mean perfect duo for this format. I really enjoy it and the little tricks we can learn and also realize, no, you really do not need to be a chef to make good food. But it definitelly helps.
Kush's transition to being on camera has been incredibly seamless. He's way more relaxed and confident nowadays. He settled in so quickly and naturally that it's easy to forget he's only been in a handful of videos up to now. Looking forward to more!
I love Kush, his mix of snarky remarks, sharing knowledge and genuinely helpfulness are like salt, fat, acid and heat to a good dish. Kush if you read this, thank you that you appear on camera more often, you make me smile.
So... Exactly how has Kush got 17 years cheffing Michelin start restaurants while still looking like he's in his twenties? What did they feed him in there, virgin blood?!? I freaking love these cook offs, they're simultaneously competitive and wholesome and I would've absolutely lost myself laughing at the infinite loop of pasta if my partner wasn't trying to sleep in the same room. We've all thought about it, Kush just said it out loud.
I think something with pheasant would suit Barry marvellously. Gotta love Kush's energy, this mixture of confident, a bit chaotic, lots of skills, a bit of snark and very helpful, constructive feedback he's bringing to the team is absolutely wonderful.
Cannot express how much I was hoping that plate would break on Kush again 😂😂😂😂 He’s the absolute best - the perfect combination of troll, teacher and stone cold chef. Love this series ❤❤❤
I really like this!! Seeing Jamie do something he hasn’t done very much and still doing it brilliantly. Then Kush blowing everything away with his insane skills. Should get Barry doing something he hasn’t done in a very long time/ never makes.
Having met some A-holes during my time in the kitchen, i would love to have had Kush as a teacher. Seems like such a genuine guy, that cares about people and teaching.
Kush is brilliant. Just the way he moves around is amazing to watch and his technique is very nice to watch. Makes it look ridiculously easy and shows how much work he has put in throughout the years.
Kush was such a great addition. This feels like Jaime learning a cooking class from a chef. The disection of the food at the end and the banter were fantastic.
huge fan of the way jamie and kush work together and bounce off each other on screen. please more of these two together, kush is great at explaining things and it’s so enjoyable to watch kush and jamie!!
for a one-off not really all that much, unless you take away tasting before serving too, there's no real hard comparison to hold it against, it should at least be held against some baseline but if you're going to crank out thousands of dishes and have it consistent eyeballing it, yeah there's a level of skill/learning curve to that, or having a gigantic batch so they're still uniform and therefor the baseline lol
So fun things about being trained and having a lot of experience for the most part. Even if it's not exact. Generally we can just eyeball it or measure it in our hand. Need one pound of pretty much any type of meat I can cut it. The granted a pound of beef is not the same size as a pound of chicken or a pound of salmon or a pound of tuna or swordfish.
Home cooks can learn it too. If they have a tendency to make a lot of the same dishes, they will eventually learn how to make them without measurement. I will always measure baking stuff though. I can tinker a dish and make it delicious even if I mess up. Baked goods are not so forgiving. That really is kind of a science with those ones. It is literally Chemistry. And food science is a thing.
Grandmothers the world over are giving you the side-eye, I suspect 😂 In my part of the world, family recipes are always a 'measure with your heart' situation!
A video like this, where Kush talks/coaches/guides one of the normals through the process he would do, and they compete against a normal on their own, would be fascinating
Absolutely love Kush "oh there are some scales there, but I'm not going to use them because I want to make it harder for myself" in the middle of a challenge!?! Absolute mad lad
They’ve been doing this for 13 years and Jamie just realized chefs (&people in general) think ahead… that that’s the reason they’ve got it under control 😄
The more I see of Kush, the more he reminds me of my chemistry professor. Everyone is kind of afraid of him and it's assumed that he's maybe a little crazy, but if you're actually *trying* he's there for you 100%. As is the snark!
Kush: "Raviolis are cooked. Sauce is nice and warm. I'm gonna slightly emulsify it with some pasta water. I'm gonna go in with the rest of the rocket just to wilt through, give a bit of color. Then, I'll plate up.😊" Jamie: "🎶make my butter sage-y🎶. How sage-y? I don't know😠"
I love this series. You can see how far the normals have come, but you also see the chefs giving them tips and cheats to help them out in the future. And as always, Kush is just a treat to have in a video.
I love Kush. He’s got a lot of snark but you can see how much he cares not only about food about supporting his friends.
Absolutely! Love his little wink to Jamie.
People who truly care about what they do want to help others do well in that field. All of the chefs and normals on sorted do this, and you can tell they all like each other. If your guy friend isn't screwing with you, that's when you know you aren't really friends. Guys screw with each other, it's in the DNA.
But being snarky or insulting isn't bad, if it's done in good fun.
Co-signed.
I was thinking of commenting this same thing!
I don’t like him, or the ginger from before.
My favorite part of this series is Kush giving the tips when tasting the normal’s dish.
Indeed - super helpful!
@@SortedFoodvery much so 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I thought the same thing
I LOVE the coaching
His coaching style is fantastic. Leads them to their own answers instead of just giving them, is brutally honest but never comes across as mean spirited in any way. Walking that line betweent telling someone you know they can do better without making them feel like they've failed is super tough. He's an excellent teacher
I would LOVE to see Kush and Ben do this back to back to see if they use the same techniques or different ones as they have different backgrounds :)
Ooooh that would level this up!
This is a GREAT idea! We could even get the normals to do a blind taste test to see who has the better dish 😂
@@SortedFoodGREAT idea!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Now you're cooking!
@@SortedFood Yes. Do it. I will watch and like it.
kush may be chaotic but he makes for a good teacher. he really makes the boys taste their dishes, identify their mistakes themselves, and then gives notes and advice on how to improve the next time around. and you can tell he's worked in restaurants by how fast and choppy he moves 😂
Agreed - he's a fantastic teacher!
@@SortedFoodthat he is😊😊😊😊
I think Kush needs his own channel. 🤭
The rewinding to show that Jamie was, in fact, very wrong is just 💯
We know right 🤣. The camera doesn't lie, haha.
@@SortedFoodperfect guys🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@SortedFoodit’s a great way to be able to end any discussion. 😂
"everything you say or do will be used against you humorously in front of millions of viewers"
And it’s a weird thing to get wrong too because it’s so easy to remember. 100g -> 1 egg.

Jamie really said "All you knead is love" 😂
😂 he really did.
@@SortedFood😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the personality that Kush brings into these videos and he plays off of Jamie so well. Just a lot of fun to watch.
So much to enjoy in this video - the growing bromance between Kush and Jamie - sooo many innuendos - infinite pasta loop - Kush dissing Jamie's burnt chicory - Jamie's knife skills badge being put to excellent use with the butternut squash - Kush turning more and more into a youtuber...
Love absolutely all of it!
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! :)
Be fair, butternut squash is enraging to deal with if you do not use a large enough knife, but too large of knife will also be an absolute pain
Kush - "I'll hold off so we can finish together." 😅😅 The Kushuendos have begun
I wonder why Jamie didn’t use that power peeler that was especially made for butternut squash that he was so in love with on a gadget review
Haha yes! He totally should have.
@@SortedFooddefinitely 😊😊😊😊😊
I think Jamie and Kush are my new favourite duo. Awesome together. "Love is in the air" 😊
Ben and Barry's country cottage has a vacancy 😂
@@gamelis125now I have the song in my head 😂
Kush is such a balanced mix of snarky imp and patient teacher. Never change! 🥰
Love kush’s feedback, he seems like such a great teacher. Really gets the boys to stop and think their way through it themselves then gives specific feedback
Jaime: “Pasta, not my speciality”
Also jaime: “Chooses to make pasta for his main course dish in the finale of a competition that has spanned years”
I LOVE how supportive Kush is. Such a lovely complement to Jamie's manic episodes.
I love watching Kush in these videos. He clearly knows what he’s doing, but he doesn’t lord it over the normals. He’ll step around and help a little if needed, or throw out hints, and it’s just so wholesome!

Ditto!
I really love how much Kush is equally sassy and helpful. He wants them to succeed! But he also just loves to rile them up, it's great.
I absolutely love these blind cook offs. They always show what’s possible with the ingredients and are guaranteed to provide some good laughs. ❤
So glad you enjoy them :)
@@SortedFoodMe too! Love your content guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

You can clearly tell with how Kush looked after Jamie said he completely failed at the butter sauce that he didn't like the way Jamie put himself down. Kush is extremely supportive of the normals.
I love the editing on these ones! The Editor calling out Jamie's lie about pasta ratios, is brilliant!
Kush is such a great addition. The way he "breaks down" what he's done and what can be done with the "normals" dish is really helpful, easy to pick up.
Kush is really an excellent teacher! I love the way he switches between chirping and offering advice, both to Jamie and to the audience.
I love that they are head to head but Kush is so magnificent that he helps Jamie with pasta making. I would love to sample both.
Love watching Kush in the kitchen. It just flows, so organically. It’s always a pleasure to watch a master of their craft at work, all the more so when they share what they’re doing and why, and he’s really grown into a very capable instructor.

Fresh pasta + Indian Restaurant !!! @ 3:40
Kush we need to know more.
Thinking about combo's ; Onion bhaji ravioli or spaghetti bhuna maybe

Dangerous tactics 😂

“There are a set of scales there, but I’ll set myself a challenge.” - Kush
Only a chef can pull that off, right?!?
Nah, it just takes some practice.
for a one-off not really all that much, unless you take away tasting before serving too, there's no real hard comparison to hold it against, it should at least be held against some baseline

I love these videos with Kush cooking. Please please please please please please continue to make these videos.
Kush is a natural teacher! He's not only funny but super knowledgeable
I like how kush doesn’t baby the guys in a way. He tells them how to improve and better them. He’s great
Kush makes an excellent teacher - he makes cooking fun!

There's also James and Kush cooking off in their Christmas event it seems. We just need the Kush and Poppy cook off for the Sorted Extended Universe.
It was so cute that Kush chased Jaime's spoon to properly cheers before taking a bite
