I want to thank all of you guys, and James as well. My wife and I watched cooking videos while we ate lunch or dinner. I lost my wife on Sunday Feb 26, and this is the first video I've even attempted to watch without her. I'll have to come back to actually watch it, because I couldn't see it through tears, and couldn't pay enough attention to know what all happened. But I want to thank you, and a few other content creators for the memories I have of sharing meals, laughs, and learning with my wife while watching your videos. Thank you all.
We're really sorry to hear this Jeremey. The whole team send their love, and best wishes ❤
So very sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you can take time off to process and grieve and take care of yourself.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your lost
I would love to see Ben and Kush each create a dish from the same ingredients not necessarily in competition, but without consultation.
I think as a video, it would be lovely if given some ingredient and told to 'celebrate' it, and create a small dish out of it, a few times. It would be a great platform for getting their thoughts on what makes that ingredient special, and getting their thoughts on how to best celebrate it would be quite interesting.
For short cooking times, I'd LOVE to see an edit that actually shows the full open the box all the way to meal done for Ben. I think that would be a fun thing to watch
2nd that.
3rd 🙂
I’m in
Yes please!!
That would be genuinely amazing, yes. Though that means the editing team would have to do an entire additional cut.
Not Barry forgetting that aquafaba can be used as an egg replacement when the chickpeas are sitting right there😂
ill give him credit though the technique he did do is a very popular and delicious one for vegan breaded foods as its basically tempura coated in breadcrumbs
I'd have used something like chickpea to make an eggy type mix but they didn't have it and not sure blitzing the chickpeas would have worked
Edit: watered down tahini might have worked
I was thinking that the banana watered down with coconut milk 9r even just some water, made into a paste, would work in place of the egg as well. Might be a bit too sweet, depending on the ripeness of the banana though.
Just the fact that Ben can talk through his process in a 15 minute battle and not get sidetracked is amazing to me.
The true power of a chef
my adhd could NEVER, lol.
It amazed me that he was also cleaning up as he went as well.
OH! The child holding the tea towel with the James & Janice line was FABULOUS!!!!!!!
yeah that was really cute :)
Adorable, right?
I love it how Kush is helping normals from time to time
Is it bad that when I first heard Vegan challenge, I already thought Ben had this one locked just based off of Barry's previous records with vegan challenges...
You're just saying what we're all thinking 🤫
Hey Honestly I thought Barry had a better chance because there was no Eggs!
Let's get a Chef vs Chef with Kush vs Ben.
You may be in luck..... 👀

🙏
@@SortedFood Or Kush vs James... It would be fun to see Ben melt down trying to judge.
I love how the box was very Asian (i thought: maybe some kind of curry) and they both made dishes that I very much associate with the British. 😆
The green sauces were very intriguing - makes me want to give it a go.
Really thought Barry had this one! The mango shallots sound so good.
Yeah he was robbed
Clever of Barry to play to Mike’s palate. Ben’s cheffiness really did shine.
Gotta love Baz asking J for an alternative to egg for pane, when he has a can of aquafaba which is very commonly used as an egg alternative in things like cakes or.....pane.
This video really showed two different views on vegan food in my opinion. Barry right from the beginning thought about meat substitudes and what he could use as "chicken", compared to Ben who thought about a meal that is vegan.
IMO it is way easier if you don't think about how to replace meat and instead just think about how to use vegan ingredients.
100% agree. And they’re usually also the dishes that taste better given that they’re not trying to be something else.
As a chef who mostly eats vegetarian this is a continuing frustration with a lot of vegan/vegetarian food and restaurant offerings. It doesn't always have to be about some sort of faux meat. When you go into a vegan restaurant and they don't offer a succotash, ratatouille or some other great vegetable stew/soup but instead is offering a bunch of highly processed fake meat you have to wonder about what they're thinking.
When I lived abroad I had a friend who constantly complained about the lack of vegan products in that country - but they had absolutely everything but fake meat!
@@KenS1267 I would say as a hungry hungry vegan all I seem to get are vegetables and it leaves me feeling so unsatisfied, so many places don't add any protein to dishes and it sucks 😥
As much as I like Ben's approach and I like that thinking better, the carnivore in me would like Barry's food better. If I'd ever go vegan or vegetarian, it would not be because of the animals and those excuses some pretentious vegans uses but because of my health. As it is now, I have limits on what meat I eat and how much. Going full on meat substitute and slowly transitioning to more uncamouflaged vegetable would be ideal for me. I love beans and some vegies so the problem is more on how they are cooked and not because they are vegetables.
I would love to see you do one of these with a gluten free challenge. As someone who has recently been diagnosed with coeliacs. The charity Coeliac UK has been super helpful in terms of recipes and I would love to see what you guys can come up with!
If you're intimidated by where to start, certain cuisines (Indian, Asian if you get the right soy sauce, and American southwest) lend themselves more easily to GF cooking than the typical US diet (personally can't speak for the typical UK diet). Baked goods like brownies can sub in GF flour with no issue but any yeasted recipe will need a specific GF recipe. If you're trying to not go broke, aim for naturally GF carbs like rice and potatoes (another reason Indian/Asian work so well) instead of the fancy expensive pastas and stuff. Hopefully that helps! I remember how overwhelming it was at first.
Yes! Came here to say something similar! Its overwhelming in the beginning. But if you think about it, a lot of stuff you already eat is gluten free! Typical Sunday rost, just swap for a different gravy (i like Bisto caramelized onions) and then your dish is gf! There is gf breadcrumbs to fry stuff etc, just change to gf pasta and do as usual really! :-) it gets easier over time!
Also, i don't know where you live (ofc but the most supermarkets in the European countries have lots of gf stuff. In UK i think Tesco or Morrison is best, here in Sweden the Ica is really good 😊
@@evelina4909 I'm glad im not a coeliac. But after a closer inspection of my diet, I realized that most of the stuff I eat is already gluten free. This week I ate mostly stew and potatoes. If you like pasta, try buckwheat pasta.
However, I got a nice deal on TooGoodToGo for bread, so I plan on making a bread soup tomorrow.
Best way to get home from work is to see a newly released episode. Thank you lads!
Thank you for watching Ron!
@@SortedFood Thank you for your content. Much Love from South Africa! ❤
Wednesdays are fun thanks to Sorted!
Given Ben mentioned mostly eating vegetarian at home, it would be great to see more vegetarian recipes on the channel.
I mean, if you have an apple as a snack you ate vegan. No recipe required.
Definitely! While I love the show, it is really extremely meat-based for the 21st century 😅
As much as I love Ben’s dish and I respect him for doing so much in 15 minutes, he did make beans on toast and ensured all sauce was green. Barry’s was a mess balance-wise but it was creative and for that I applaud him
I would love to see the unedited 15m/30m as well as seeing a version where Ben's side doesn't start until the "normal" has had their 15 minutes for a contrast as to what they use the extra time for...
i can't imagine turning out a proper meal in 15 minutes, the lunch I made to sit down and watch this video took 20 and it's the simplest wrap you could imagine haha. awesome!
While I loved the actual content (especially Ben's little "Oh!" when he heard he had 15 minutes) the video plug for Sidekick was my favourite part of this video. That kid nailed the "Where's the Dish" delivery! ❤️
We need more Chef vs Normals (all of em!) challenges but with Kush.
Well… hats of to Ben for that dish. Can’t see a normal making something like that without much or any prep and within 15 minutes.
I would love to see Ben, Kush and the food team do some sort of video on how they create recipes, like what they think about, how they come up with new ideas, how to build a dish and so on.
I think that could be super interesting and fun to watch!
Mike did one, now Barry did one. I hope Jamie has to do one as well.
Against Kush.
I would love to see you guys do a beat the chef, but it's a normal with a meal kit with instructions, and a chef with the same ingredients but no instructions. I would actually love to compare the two- if a meal kit like Chef's plate can actually compete with a chef.
4 way chef battle with Ben, Kush, and James, and the normals combined acting as one 'chef'.
love how Ben is just munching and being casual about this.
Loved watching this as someone who struggles with dairy. I've been experimenting with silken tofu in a few ways and loving it, though the idea of blending it with spinach never occurred to me. I'll definitely be trying it.
The mango chutney in a quick pickle was downright inspired. Loved it.
Great episode as always guys
Its five minutes to end.
BEN: lovely
Its ten minutes to end.
Barry: OH MY GOD!
Ben is as cool as a cucumber.
Ben: Remember this is just a midweek meal.
*drops their ad for Sidekick*
😆 Smooth... I love it!
I'm vegan but still watch all the episodes. The vibe and content you guys create are amazing! Love how non-vegans could be so creative with this challenge. Can't wait to see more!:)
Me too. I have no issue with watching people cook or eat meat its their choice and the content is brilliant. Always nice to be included with the odd vegan episode
Always great to see Jamie being humble in victory.
I always like it when they actually mention vegan, even tho I am not vegan. But surprisingly few actual veggies in that box?? I am with Ben on the 'not using meat substitutes'.
Absolutely love the little girl with the tea towel! 😆
15 minutes for a mystery box cooking battle?!? Will Ben present anything other then a diced and pickled cucumber?!? 🤯
It's a tough one huh!
@@SortedFood I’d be send into a 15 minute full on panic that makes a Huttlestorm seem like a slight breeze. 😂
15 minutes is indeed a short time but Ben is always prepared and cool. I have no worries on that score.
Happy Wednesday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!
I have watched your videos since the very beginning and never miss an episode. Thank you all for the laughs and inspiration over the years. Long may it continue.
Guys, can we get the outtakes back? I haven‘t seen any in a while and they were hilarious!
This is another fab video, thank you!!
Flax seed powder mixed with boiling water to replace eggs.
1 egg = one tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with three tablespoons of water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes
My Winner is Barry. I loved the twist on the nugs and the onions!
I love how when people talk about a plant-based diet the first thing they think of is lack of nutrients, which is not totally unfounded but it is quite off-base to think that it would be somehow always be worse than a regular diet, all diets can be terrible depending on how you do it, I think I should start calling out the stuff regular people eat for having lack of nutrients from now on >:) Then we'll see how they fell when the roles are reversed. Plant's are some of the the most nutrient dense things you can eat lol.
Love this format!
Another twist to try to throw off the judges is to have the normal sitting on the side plate the chef's dish while the competing normal plates his own
I thought a chickpea or spinach curry was sure to be on the menu.
Nice job Barry proofing the box. 😀
Barry really did an amazing job on plating.
OK, I watched this 3 times! I am cooking these "beans on toast" for breakfast tomorrow.. thank you chef 🙏🥰
How was it??😮
@Katia Blejer truly great! Made it for my whole family yesterday as well! 😊
I love how creative these were. My go-to is a stir fry with similar ingredients, so it was great to be inspired, especially because they only took 30 minutes or less.
Weirdly if both plates were in front of me. I would first go for Barry's. No offense Ben 🙈
Yes! More battles! Let's hope ben isn't salty about the results! ;)
Only one way to find out 😂
Another great episode! Thanks for the inspiration on what to do with silken tofu 😋
finely ground flax seed mixed with a tiny bit of water makes an amazing replacement for eggs in baking. Would it work for breadcrumb frying?
Love the time handicap, great looking dishes!
Honestly, that all looks brilliant! I'd love either one!
I miss the bloopers
If I only have 15 minutes to cook, the only thing I serve will be plain salted pasta.
Ben and Barry are truly amazing!
I love this thank you 💗💗😁😁😁
Before pressing play on this video, I'm really rooting for Barry. He has been applying himself so much over the last couple of months and really taking himself further by how thinks and approaches ideas, cheffings , appearance, and overall entertainer behind the camera, Im so keen to see what he comes up with and how he is going to show the guys that he quite a strong force on the team as a growing normal with the challenge wins!! 🥳 I'll be back after the video for the post thoughts😆
After watching the video,
"Turns out, of the three normals only one can beat a cheff" - Jamie 🤣
Yoooo Barry 🤭 So many ideas, soo 'little' time to do it all!! A really good creative idea! I like to see what you can do up against a creative challenge and time, something where you can refine your thought process from all the ideas into flavors, textures, appearance, style and execute them just the way You think You should similarly as you would an art piece, letting your ingredients be the medium and let your creativity bring it all together!!
Bye ✌
Any more fantasy cooking? I wanna see something i have never seen before!
This warmed my heart. I wrote that I had trouble coming up with vegan meals in the comment section of one of your posts and shortly after you post this!!! Thank you!
both of those dishes look so crazy!!!!
Hell yeah. Really adventurous flavours in this one - picked up so many tips
I love these beat the chef episodes so much
13:38 Never change Jamie... never change.
such a fun format. congrats Ben on the win. both dishes looked great
Great series as always! :D I still miss the bloops tho
Thank you for doing more vegan recipes ❤️
I also hope for more of these ☺️
I have to give Ben the Win. I want to eat that so bad right now :D
BRing back the chef vs chef, can't wait for a Ben vs Kush mystery box battle.
I am a very late newcomer who has been binge watching all your old videos.
I will go back and press the thumbs-up button for all your old videos.
I will also comment "I LOVE BEN" in all of them.
I want to be Ben's friend! He is so endearing!!
You are all wonderful, each in your own way, which is what makes your friendship so enviable.
Great job, you guys!!!!
I cannot believe you have been doing this for over 10 years and I just discovered your channel.
Love, love, love!!!!! 🥰❤👏
Did you guys take the adult knives away from Barry?
I think the issue with the "time limit" format is that it tends to point towards dishes and cuisines that lend themselves to being cooked quickly. I don't think that forcing Ben to have half the time really balances things because he can just work around that, in the same way that everyone always makes Asian food because it's easier to cook faster. I think you should probably extend the time limit to an hour so that other cuisines get a look in and hobble Ben by forcing him to cook with only one instrument (microwave, hob, blender, oven, toaster). Nothing against Asian food. I made a curry yesterday. Probably it's my favourite continent food-wise, but not every time.
Thank you gents, for some amazing years of cooking and culinary advice. I myself am in college now and was wondering if y’all had any recipe ideas or video concepts for college student cooking.
I would love to see you do a microwave cook off to challenge what kind of full meal you can cook in one!
Just like to say the editing on your videos is always Top Notch from a very happy subscriber 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Bahahah Baz with the “hmm… I’ve just made a 79 ingredient dish… but something’s missing” 😆😆🙌
How many people were screaming aquafaba when Barry was fumbling looking for an egg substitute?
more pass it on XD love watching that
I find it funny that the food team was not asked back to judge these.
I wanna see more of those dudes.
You know, most of the peels and ends can be made into a healthy broth, even vegan broth. The rest of us would add bones, raw or cooked... I'm sure there is something not safe, but I haven't heard of it yet. This broth can be used in place of water, which means whatever you are cooking is healthier.
Chickpeas and spinach is a classic combo! There's an amazing Tapas recipe that combines those. (With, ofc, a metric shitton of olive oil 😁)
Jamie’s subtle jab to end the video was brilliant. Great host 👏
Come on Barry!! I'm rooting for you!!
I want a video where you just unleash Ben. Give him 3 hours no requirements just be Chefy. No food team help.
Dying at Ben saying “anchovy in a traditional salsa verde”
As soon as Jamie said that the theme was vegan I had flashbacks to Barry putting honey in the vegan pass it on
Those ingredients just screamed "mid-week curry" to me, as they are what I cook anyways daily.
I used Kush's tip to make a flour water mixture instead of egg for breading chicken. Worked like a charm! Will do this from now on!
I really liked the sidekick ad. The video was interesting but not sure I would ever make either recipe.
a substitution for egg would be ground flax seed with a little bit of water. So one tablespoon for ground flax to three tablespoons of warm water (this is enough to sub out for one egg) let it sit to thicken and then whisk. the more you whisk the more eggy it'll be.
I loved the look of the one Baz did. I'm more likely to buy that than Ebber's. This is the best part of my birthday so far. Thanks, guys
Barry throwing a birdseye chili in his mouth to see how hot it is - HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
The way Bens mind works makes me rethink how I cook
I would love to see what your chefs could prepare using homemade seitan (made with the WTF method).
Love when I get notifications for these videos, it’s an instant click🎉
Love to hear it!
Thanks for doing a vegan challenge! I watch all of your videos but it's great seeing something I could actually recreate!
Barry and Ben both looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Ben hands down. That looked amazing. But I would also devour Barry's.
11:43 hahahaha that face 🤣
