    Big Fan of your recipes, you and Claire Saffitz are my all time favourite bakers. Thanks for inviting Evan Coben, she is as awesome as you guys are. I am really smitten by the way she talks about the science behind every step of cooking. Definitely gonna browse more video by Evan Coben. Also, it will mean world if I could get a cheer from you.

Now i make it and flavour it with vanilla or even a little lemon zest and i use it like fondant sometimes too…never exactly as smooth but wow, you sure want to eat it (unlike normal fondant)

  • @lisahinton9682
    @lisahinton9682 2 года назад +1

    I don't like it when people tie their ties in the front. It catches crud, which then falls off into the food you're making. No, thanks. I would never buy anything from a place where they tie their ties in the front - it's like not wearing a hairnet or something to keep the hair out of the food. Just my $0.02, and something that most bakers and cooks haven't (for some reason) considered.
    Other than that, I just love this channel. Thanks for going in a new direction today. Fantastic.

    I made the soft nougat and it was delicious. But there’s some critical information you didn’t mention: the 8 minutes of mixing made my nougat super stiff and difficult to stir in the powder milk/sugar. Also, how do you cut the sticky thing? OMG that was a disaster, I was cleaning my very sharp knife after each cut. And I really need a tutorial on chocolate dipping. I put my dipped nougat on a rack and then it stuck!!! And lastly, I found I had to move fast on the dipping otherwise the nougat would melt a bit and mix with the chocolate causing swirls on my finish. Lastly, I added a cup of toasted hazelnuts, wow that was good. I would add 2 cups next time though.

  • @StraylightWintermute

    I've never heard of this kind of marzipan before - looking it up, I see this is French marzipan, as opposed to German style which you will find more recipes online for that's made with nuts, sugar, and egg white without cooking and is used in baking rather than candy making.
