Can you explain your reasoning against the microplaning? Blender vs microplaned.
Love those plates, where can I get some for my kitchen??? Thanks in advance ;)
wahoo I'm allergic to pine but I found a pine nut free pesto at a long gone pizza place. I'm so glad yall have a pine free variation
just curious, can i put the homemade pesto in a bottle and save for next time too? Thanks!
All I could find was already minced garlic so how much would you say I should use?
Shout-out to the BA Test Kitchen cleaning staff that we always see but who are never acknowledged! They're important too!
I think the same with every video I watch. They are cleaning up constantly. Wouldn't be possible without them!
I want a show on them as another show is being filmed
Yesss thank you! I always notice them working in the background and I wish they'd get some recognition on camera sometime.
They must have to wash soooo many dishes. I hope they get paid well.
Wish they would cook something special for the cleaners as appreciation.
watching him de-stem that kale was so oddly satisfying
I bet you would say that about paint drying too!
doing it feels pretty oddly satisfying too, lacinato kale slides right off it's pleasant af
Why didn't I think of stripping kale that way?!
I was mesmerized. It was like magic...
Try it, it’s very satisfying!
I really appreciate how different this video felt than the rest of them, in that there's a lot of...quiet? I don't know how to describe it. There's just like a lot of moments where the camera is just on and Chris is cooking and it feels very relaxing, but also still informative. Like it was really good for me to see how long he actually blended everything since it was such a short amount of time. It made everything look a lot more doable by an average person and less chef magic.
It’s the lack of ADHD edits, drum solos, and text pop-ups. Pleasantly chill.
@@CantankerousDave It goes really well with Chris' general vibe though. Just as well as the edits and pop-ups go with Brad's.
i liked the time of day that they filmed this too, made me feel a lot more relaxed and weeknight cooking-y
Well said
I couldn't agree more! I feel it also has something to do with the time they filmed this. It's almost dark out with soft lights in the kitchen.
Loved the vibe of this video!
I love this laid-back, no-rush format. Sometimes cutting out dead air can make the pace feel breathless and frantic.
Jacob Albano Yes I agree
I didn’t even know it but you’ve just explained to me why I like this channel so much
Yes. And less b-roll
Agreed, the editing in this video was very pleasing and a nice counterpoint to some of the other videos.
Jacob Albano I agree :) great comment/observation
Bon Appetit’s starting off the year with Chris and I couldn’t be any happier
Rachel레이첼 with Andy roaming around
Paola Andrea Roa Ballestas lol
ME TOO
i want the golden retriever ;_;
Hi
Literally everyone else on the ba's kitchen: pasta water
Chris: pasta cooking liquid
I mean there's salt in it
I’ve heard others say it
Pasta saltwater
i'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that was funny :D
Actually Carla called it that too in her white pesto video!! 😂
“I just want Carla to be impressed”
Me too Chris, me too.
"we're not counting calories" that is the sexiest sentence ive ever heard
max is a goblin who can keep up with that? unless you’re an athlete or a powerlifter or something, otherwise, it’s just too much hassle.
I understand that some people do that because they have to but I always feel for them. I prefer listening to my body and eating what I feel I need to. This is my happy way of life 😉
@@karu6111 "athlete or powerlifter" lol
I think that “the feel good food plan” is a great idea, and I look forward to seeing the other recipes
sombrae it’s really nice, right! Maybe then we can stick to our resolutions:)
Especially for americans
check out the pod, Chris and Andy talked about it there
Seems to me this could just be put in the 'healthyish' section of bon appetit recipe files, no?
fingerbottom I had leftover pizza and a four loco
I love it when Chris is mixing and just stares and nodds at the other people in the kitchen, just so Chis!
Honestly? That's the most attractive I've ever found Chris. I don't know why, it just is.
@@iandowall153 agree with the attractive part.
Ian Dowall asserting dominance
8:07
Nick Bryant 😂
I don’t know why, but I feel like Chris needed a big hug (or some chicken soup) when this was filmed. I hope he (and everyone at BA!) had a good holiday break!
I think he had a cold or something like that. Poor baby 😢
I thought I was the only one feeling that...his aura doesn't seem the same as it is most videos.
Yeah he was definitely breathing through his mouth = stuffed nose
was going to comment the same! energy was so off this video. :/
It's that holiday party tipsiness
I would like a video of Chris de-stemming kale leaves for a solid 20 minutes. It's mesmerizing
And chatting about whatever. Yes, please and thank you
...with him making steady eye contact too 😳
"Why is any of us here? I don't know," -Chris Morocco
And oxygen kills us all.
"We're going to cook the pasta"
That's why I'm here :)
Chris casually dropping some existential dread while cooking.
Right? I'm like: that escalated quickly
.......why is I here?
"Pleasantly clumpy"
Looks like I found my new Tinder bio.
Dense, yet weirdly aerated
@@UnrelatedArchives 😂 Yes, that too!
"it's a clinger" - yep me too
@@nettysgirl00
😂 It's how we show our love.
Too real
I absolutely love how Chris came for whole wheat pasta. We are cancelling try-hard, fibrous sadness in 2020. The god of flavor himself has spoken; it's gnarly.
yeah like Batman said, it’s more that this isn’t the recipe to be using whole wheat with because its flavour can compete too much with the other ingredients
@@itpaynesme how did you know his secret identity?
The way BA chefs (I’ve seen Molly do this in another video too) just casually dip their fingers in boiling or near-boiling water (to taste whether its seasoned) is both scary and amazing.
You can dip your fingers in boiling water for a few seconds and still be okay. It hurts for a few seconds. You will not burn yourself.
I’ve heard it called having “asbestos fingers” haha
Spend enough time in the kitchen touching hot things & you develop kind of a heat tolerance.
I'm a chef and my fingertips are pretty numb 😉
You get used to it if you cook either large amounts of food daily or cook every meal everyday for a period of time.
Casually sticks his finger in boiling water.
feintXIII I know I got scared!
and then tastes it afterwards *more salt*
"Chef Hands"
TottiKarotti is that what chefs do?
I also do it.
4:20 “Anything can pesto” I want proof I want a “Make it Pesto” video
Will it Pesto? By GMM ft Bon Appetit
@@Sofia2crazy My exact thought!!!!!!!!!!! 😆
As he said that, all Italians and people who like Italian food shouted vaffanculo
Dude they have got to colab with Rhett and Link
@@nnniiiaaallllll this needs to be put on a billboard
You know I really liked the night setting
It's cute how he is nervous for Carla's approval. He's Chris Freakin' Morocco!
"Carla Fettucine"
chris just casually blendered 30 dollars of parm
Its parm really that expensive in the US?
Stefano Galli yep!!
Idk where you’re buying parm but a block that size would probably cost about $12 at Whole Foods
brandilyon ba test kitchen is in ny, so prices there are probs higher
Cindy Bui I am referencing prices where I live which is likely as expensive as NY
I want a cute “meet the BA test kitchen staff”
Including BTS persons, custodians, prep ppl, the whole thing! I think it would be so amazing to recognize everyone and like even if it’s 5-15 sec of everyone
alex willoughby this!!!!!
The way Chris explains everything he does and why is soooo good.
Chris is definitely one of the best ones to have do informative videos.
Chris dipped his finger into boiling water and his only takeaway was "more salt"
He is so powerful
Seinor Sloth I was looking for this comment
Is it weird that I’m attracted to him? The way he carries himself is just so endearing. Everything he says has a point, he never rambles. He’s so smart oh my goodness
Little Abbie NOT WEIRD
Not weird at all
He is confident in what he does, he engages with the camera.
You are helpless to his charms.
Little Abbie NOT WEIRD NOT WEIRD NOT WEIRD
@@Sprinkles12345 I call that feminine type of masculinity "graceful". instead of the brad kind of macho masculinity, it's much more careful and thoughtful but still full of confidence.
take a shot every time chris says “blender parm”
I was sorta thinking I would spend my night watching BA videos while drinking Irish Whiskey. Will this drinking game result in death or a good time?
Chris is the human embodiment of ‘mise en place’
I've never had a desire to eat Kale.. Honestly this recipe has changed that.
With pistachios I would give it a go.
Made this last night. Def. needed a lite citrus to cut down that Kale taste. Added a little lemon juice and it was amazing.
“I just want Carla to be really impressed” - Chris 2020
“Kale. Does the body good.” - internet mother Carla
I love seeing videos shot later in the day where you can see the city lights. A time lapse of the kitchen in a day would be 👌🏼
Chris really said “cut the cameras, deadass”
Shela N. Lmao
i think the minimal cuts and editing worked really well, we dont always need a speech bubble popping up with jokes!
great job
This video format makes it feel like you’re cooking with your good friend Chris Morocco, I’m here for it!
When he said “cut the cameras. Deadass.” I felt that
Really enjoying suited Rapo walking around like a snacky t-rex in the background of this video
He used to be Style Editor at GQ
calm down, chuck tingle!
SO accurate.
Chris always making sure the blender is mostly empty is so satisfying, thank you, Chris :)
haven't watched the video yet and I already know I love it. Chris Morocco never disappoints.
He actually does, unfortunately
@@pensaingiallo why? when?
@@TheEmilyMonster because he added water to a pesto... You don't do that
Pensaingiallo 🙄🙄🙄
I would normally not watch a video titled "Kale pesto", but Chris is doing it.
Chris is just the best. Love, love, LOVE the little nod to the boss while he's blending. So nice. So confident.
"Two years ago Andy kind of wanted you to be a little bit hungry."
I don't know about hungry, but I'm pretty sure there's no shortage of people who are thirsty when they watch Andy.
He's the tall glass of water you need after being stranded in the Sahara desert for five days
Andy is one of my least favourites. I feel he lacks personality and presence for the camera (in comparison)
Ew
@@FaeoreNeko i think you and the OP are talking about two different things here
I'm a straight female, and yet I still find Andy an Eye Candy
2:28 watching brad add sumac when you know you're going to take it out in the final recipe
I LOVE THIS LMAOO
Before I even clicked on the time stamp I knew which moment you were referencing lmao
Ha!
Blender Parm to Chris is like Garlic to Brad
My vote goes to sumac xD
@Joslyn Graham lol I was thinking sumac when I made the comment but wasn't sure
Alicin to Brad.
it’s still Chris, and his spoons.
Brad started with garlic and has since turned his attention to sumac it seems XD
If someone said "You must open a culinary school - who's you head instructor" - it's got to be Chris. He's the professional's-professional. He would be so patient. But he would also hold a standard.
This is something I can make! (I appreciate that he mentioned that it’s OKAY that we don’t all have high speed blenders.)
The way he ripped the kale was magical!
It was very relaxing to watch
the lighting in this episode was very cozy
I cook pesto in the summer when I have a lot of greens hanging around. Never have done Kale before but I will try this.
I've found that serving pesto with a side of fresh summer tomatoes, just as wedges surrounding the plate, is the best way to eat those beautiful tomatoes you get in late summer without having to cook them.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Chris's profile is? Such stunning bone structure!
@@definitelynotafox6262 same
i swear he's a musician or a dancer, the way he carries himself and handles material is just so precise. count me in in the morocco fan club
@@sarahkim3524 i thought the same! he definitely has a theater/ballet quality to his lines, especially the hands
Did Chris just dip his finger into boiling water, just to taste it?! Amazing. 👏👏👏
Chris: "you can microplane that amount of cheese"
Me: and waste 2 hours of prep time.
Yes! I hope we see more healthy-ish stuff. Also I love this BA At Night laid back vibe.
“Die hard Parmesan micro planer” intense
"Slightly Virtious" should be Chris's rapper name.
Or his Knight of the Round Table title. Sir Chris the Slightly Virtuous.
"Just keep rolling."
Chris gets it.
That is the biggest bite of food I have ever seen Chris eat.
Love how Chris cooks with practically zero waste and minimal dishes to wash.
why is any of us here
- most New York thing I've heard Chris say
The pasta recipe that will make you question life...
Carla's hand gestures after eating some, was one of the most Italian American things I've ever seen.
I need more scenes of Andy tucking a napkin into his shirt like a bib
Even when Morocco claims he "doesn't have it today", he has it baby!
Literally just yesterday I was hopping for a new Chris video. BA really can read minds
13:49 "Oh oh, tower down" Not something you want to hear when you're on the 35th floor of 1 World Trade Center
5 hours of scrolling later I found the one comment I was looking for!
Take a shot every time Chris says “Blender parm” 😂
i could watch Chris make boxed Mac and Cheese and I would love every second of it
I made this today, literally as soon as I saw this, but I could only find cashews for the cheap and MAN OH MAN... the cashews after soaked for about 30 minutes are so amazing in this. 10/10!
Chris has the most calming presence ever! He is someone you would feel totally safe with. You know when he is not trying to guess Red Leicester cheese.
Delany is somehow always in the back eating something
Take a shot everytime he says "blender parm".
Chris: dips his finger in boiling hot water
Also Chris: needs salt
As a student that usually doesn’t have time to make a proper “dinner” I think the feel good food plan sound amazing and it’s hopefully something I can make, that isn’t noodles
Yes, a Chris video.
Btw why does he keep tasting the pesto with his fingers ? Where are all his spoons ? Omg
He gave up spoons for Lent
A chef's fingers are the best way to understand the texture
New year, new me. -CM
Its a sensory thing??
@@dant4786 "I feel like my spoons had become too much of a 'thing'"
I will make it this week. Awesome!
Hey video Editor: Nice colour-grading!!
Chris breaking down that kale is so satisfying.
Chris' mid-recipe existential crisis is my favorite thing about this video. HAHAHA!
ANDY IN A BUTTON UP. I AM SCREAMING. AHHHHH.
Chris!!! You’re a rockstar sir! Soo mellow and even keeled all the time but also so definitive in how he believes things should be done! Love the video and will definitely try this recipe!
I have to say I love that Chris takes his time when he talks. This was a 17-minute show and he was deliberate and calm with his words. It's great to listen to and watch.
I'm not a fan of pistachio, I'm not a nut fan I think. I really only like 4 nuts almonds, peanuts, cashews, and pine nut. And Pine nut needs to be very good for me to eat them. I think I will try this with pine nut. I have to make it for myself since my husband doesn't like pesto.
I like that they kept the dead air in without any annoying background music.
Shoutout to Chris’s hairdresser/barber
"I don't believe in a microplane for parm... I believe in chucking it a blender."
“I’m just making you a *little* tastey-taste.” that reminded me so much of Brad & it was adorable ! 😭☺️💙
He's such a likeable guy. And so deliberate in his word choice.
I love that the recommended videos when this ended was Apple Cinnamon Donuts and a massive cake
YESSSSS!! Give us more Chris!!
Can we have moment to appreciate the cheeky smirk on Andy's face at 2:30?? He's just snickering at Chris and it's adorable
Chris is such a joy to watch and this editing was quiet and lovely.
I want to see an episode where Andy and Chris dress like each other
“why is any of us here? i don’t know, we’re gonna cook the pasta.”
Chris puts so much deliberation, care, and close attention into everything he does. He and Claire are very simpatico in that sense
It's pretty sweet how concerned Chris is about everyone's clothes. A good friend!
Chris is my favorite and my hero, honestly.
Chris has existential crisis while making pasta.
I love Chris’s energy in his videos! Some of the chefs can act a little cocky, I love that he’s really not like that, it’s about the food and being education and informative!
WHAT??????
Like everyone else, I'm loving this format and the tone of the video. I think in part, it's because of the recipe. It has variables, and options, and explanations, which is why recipe videos are helpful in the first place. All the questions you might have, all the things that could go wrong, explained.
Thanks Chris! You're amazing!
The feel good plan feels like it was literally made for me, thanks BA
Oh, I looooved the vibe of this video, and it's so Chris! It's relaxing, and chill, and I don't know, I feel comfortable and safe haha
I'm 21 and have just recently started cooking a lot for myself, but after a year and a half of watching BA videos, it doesn't seem half as daunting, it just feels like I've done it all before! These recipes are great, and I'm really looking forward to trying this one! Thanks guys!!
Please keep this style of video going!! The way this channel has evolved definitely has its own place, but I love the mega comfortable vibe this gives off. So casual and relaxing.
I love Chris
