The contrast between their outfits and personalities are so perfect. It feels like two kids who randomly got paired for a school project. One wants to be as productive as possible and the other one wants to immediately start throwing glitter on a poster board. I love it. Please make more episodes with this duo!
A surprisingly accurate description
Which one is which?
To me, kendall was the kindergarten teacher and alvin was the curious but relatively quiet and well behaved toddler.
Absolutely Hermione and Ron energy
They're killing it man! I was bummed but happy for Andrew when he said he was taking a rest, but it's like instead we got a whole new and unique take on the Babish recipe for success. This has been great!
Alvin & Kendall are a surprisingly great team. Even though Andrew is back from his vacation, I hope we get more episodes with these two making food.
Hard agree
Surprised?
They really do have great chemistry together.
Yeah same
Alvin and Kendall sitting in a tree... B A K I N G...
This had both "school project vibes" and "children trying to impress parent vibe" and I want more of it.
i babish getting down to buiness. I here for cooking instructions not filler.
I've never heard Steve's name before, but in the half second that he was shown I can tell he's just as chaotic as the rest of the crew. Excellent
He had the most hilarious GoT reaction videos ever
Seems like a great way to introduce a character.
the 1000-yard stare from Alvin at, "you're explaining how ice is made" had me rolling.
I love how babish is a cameo in his own channel 😂
Alvin is so quick on his feet. “I got them hot hands”
Kendall:”No, you *don’t* want hot hands”
Alvin:”Oh… I got ice in my veins baby.”
Please have these two on more often
Edit* Wooo first comment to reach 1k likes. Thanks yall
I didn't know how perfect they are together!
17:40 the way that Alvin almost said 'my child is now in you'- i'm wheezing
Love their dynamic, a nice balance of chaos and order, we need more basics with them!
There's probably a fanfic brewing already with these two 😅
Also really noticeable how more used Kendall is to being on screen. I remember how in her first appearances she was much more mousy
8:00 Did you know that you wouldn't have to stretch the dough twist if you had measured the diameter of the dish and multiplied by... pi
Underrated
Alvin: “This is not a baking competition!”
Me: *secretly wants Alvin and Kendall to do a baking competition, a la The Great British Baking Show* 😏🙏🏼
Alvin would need about 100 hours to make sure he got that dub though. His long duration desserts are amazing
The Great Babish Baking Show
Always weird to hear an American call it the Baking Show instead of the proper title Bake Off.
@@robertbrookes2000 I was just thinking that... I always feel a bit weird when its not the Great British Bake Off.... do you reckon Americans get as irritated by the missing raspberry as we do?
Just get Babish to narrate the whole thing impersonating Mary Berry
So I’m totally ready for Kendal and Alvin, the movie. Something in the road movie genre, traveling through Europe after they miss the Babbish bus in Rome and have to make it to a particular bakery in Paris for the next shoot, but they also lost all their money somehow. Wacky high jinx ensue.
What will their stands be I wonder?
They get a job on a ferry or train kitchen and chef/boss want them to stay.
@@psvradamlevine6215 Stand mixers.
@@Psykel I was making a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference my friend
@@psvradamlevine6215 Yes, and their stands are stand mixers.
I am glad that Andrew has returned, but Alvin and Kendall are fantastic teachers and cooking buddies, so i hope we will continue to see videos like this
Alvin's chemistry with literally anyone is insane
Really enjoy the awkward but not too awkward energy they have together. Like 2 high school kids paired up in cooking class
"I can't handle the stress, I really can't". At this point, I feel like I connect with Kendall on an emotional level.
i'm really liking the older responsible sister-daring younger brother that needs guidance teamwork here. really great team and i hope it becomes a permanent segment on the channel
Alvin and Kendall have like a strong sibling energy.
Oh man that was a hilarious episode. I love Kendall & Alvin together (and actually every person on the team - you all have great chemistry on camera!!) Pie looked delicious too 🤤 (But what did Alvin do with his sacrificed pie crust??)
Kendall: I'm not afraid of anything.
Alvin: Why are you putting on gloves?
Kendall: Because I'm afraid.
We need more Kendall cooking
@@trevorkn7239 Fun fact: bots can't read, so replying to a bot does nothing besides leaving a link to the bot's channel in your reply.
@@Ish3r See my reply to @TrevorKn
Kendall has the best energy. Definitely would love to see more.
@@amontpetit same
@@trevorkn7239 should we just delete our replies?
Alvin and Kendall feel like when your teacher assigns your partner for a project and even though you're not from the same group of friends, you end up absolutely vibing and killing it.
Loving these videos with Alvin and Kendall, I hope they continue as a regular part of the BCU
Andrew truly is a fan of Community. The timing is really like Dan Harmon's work.
Andrew has nothing to do with this video lol why would he edit his own videos when he has his own camera crew. Pretty sure he even said that Sawyer does the editing
@@Leto_0 What you said, totally reasonable, but to be fair to the OP Andrew must talk to his editor on creative direction of the video.
I love Alvin and really loved having Kendall join and host the video too. She did great and was calming to listen to!
They're so cute together! And I love how Andrew is in the background watching. Then coming in at the end to taste the pie like a proud dad lol
I kept thinking the same thing.
Alvin and Kendall have such great on-screen chemistry. Loving their episodes - I hope we get to keep seeing them once in a while!
Just made this yesterday and it tastes great!!! Just a reminder for anyone trying to make it, use 1/8 tsp of cream of tarter PER egg white.
Would love to see more from this pairing. They have such perfect on screen chemistry.
Also poor Steve
I really hope Kendall and Alvin stay with the Babish team for a long time! Super happy to see them, and I love what they give to the channel; thanks for all you do, guys!
Loved this! Kendall is so incredibly adorable and her sheer knowledge can be seen behind the awkwardness of being on camera! Alvin has a chaotic feel when paired with someone else, which can be entertaining as long as it can be steered.😅
My grandpa used to call merengue “calf slobbers.” Didn’t change the fact that he loved lemon merengue pie. He also said he liked two kinds of pie: Hot and cold. RIP Grandpa, I miss you 🥰
Yum I love pie
Andy being chaotic with the thermostat is hilarious
These past couple of weeks have proven that Andrew isn't Babish, we're *all* Babish.
...But mostly Kendall and Alvin.
When I first saw this wasn't going to be Babish, I was disappointed. Now, after watching these two, I'm like "Bubby who?" These kids need their own show. Love!
This is the most emotionally jarring saga with two of the most sweetest people in the world.
I know I keep saying this, but love hearing the real time audio rather than the voiceover on these episodes. Kendall and Alvin are such a great pairing.
"We still have it on the TV..." "WHY?!"
alvin and kendall have me wheezing😭😭😭
As a wise individual once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemon pie! Hey, I’m hungry!”
Or lemon poppyseed muffins, so tasty
Funnily enough, lemons were selectively bred (I believe from a sour orange and a citron, and the sour orange was bred from an orange and a pomelo) so life will literally never deliberately give you lemons. When life doesn't give you lemons, make them yourself😂
Demand to see life's manager
A wiser one said: "if life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequila"
@@pachangamarrana1 No, no. That's when life gives you LIMES. Easy mistake.
I met Alvin at a convention this weekend and got his autograph. He was a super nice guy!!
If you want to be 100% sure the dough won't get wet from the filling, you can give the dough an egg wash before putting it back into the oven a second time. This will also add more color to the dough, that can otherwise end up looking pale in comparison to the brown meringue.
This collaboration was so amazing. Thoroughly entertaining. And for the record, Steve leaving was HILARIOUS. More videos of these two.
Quick pro tip if anyone watching wants to make this pie: when making a crust like this, you can actually grate the butter before hand with a cheese grater. This gives you super small pieces and allows you to keep the butter super cold while ingot paying it in your flour. It also just cuts down on time
I gotta say I love Kendall and Alvin working in the kitchen together. Her expertise and his character match up really nicely for some controlled chaos.
Lemon meringue pie turned into my quarantine project. I made 35 LMPs in 2021. Great video. FYI - you don't need the plastic wrap - what you do is just shake the custard while it's chilling a few times to smooth it out. I started with plastic wrap but the shake method works just as well.
I really like the energy Kendall and Alvin have while working together. I’d be interested in seeing more collaborations!
This is the first Alvin & Kendall video that I've watched and I have to say I'm utterly smitten by both of them and it's not ok.
Great culinary master class! So beautiful and juicy, this pie launches desserts into another galaxy!
The combo of personalities and editing was 10/10 for this vid
2:02 i had to rewatch this so many times, the way he’s so confused😭😭😭
Kendall is honestly the relatable character we needed in the BCU
12:09 Kendall: We can let that chillax
Alvin: Reaching for the whisk.
I ship them so hard 🥹 Love their dynamic
This level of awkwardness resonates with me, I need more of Kendal and Alvin together!
The random moments plus the music gives this a really Bob Ross feel
This video is adorable. Smiling the whole time
More of this wonder duo please 🙏
I almost didn't watch this, because I've never had better lemon meringue pie than my Mom's homemade lemon meringue pie; I haven't watched one single video about lemon meringue pie since my Mom passed in 2019 because I knew nobody could perfect it. At least that's my opinion, but today I decided to watch this wonderful video.
Please, the people have spoken. More Alvin and Kendall together!
I love the dynamic between the two
“I want to eat it”
“don’t though”
“I kinda do”
“But don’t”
“But don’t”
“Yeah”
The vibe between them is funny 😁 😂 😀
I love the chemistry between the two :)
They make a fun team!
I hope we get more of this(even though Andrew is back)
When the pie hits your eye
And the pie tastes so fly
That's amore
I love how babish is like a proud parent eating the pie
They're both great on their own but their chemistry here was better than it needed to be. Great video!
Kendall and Alvin: the GOAT combo
Alvin & Kendall make such a cute couple!
Question for the internet, with a little bit of lead in: I frequently find that lemon pies/bars/cookies don't really have enough lemony-ness to them for my tastes, so would adding lemon zest kick that up to acceptable levels?
Put some lemon extract in your merengue while it's whipping up.
Lemon zest might work. You can also add some more lemon juice or a little bit of lemon extract.
Lemon zest (or lemon extract) is the trick. Lemon juice itself looses its "lemon-y-ness" when it's cooked.
I personally don't love the taste of citrus juices. I like them fine, but I don't adore them. Citrus zests, on the other hands, have OILS which taste so much better than the juices, in my opinion. So I'm always a fan of adding citrus zest. But if you want the tart lemony-ness, you're probably better off adding more lemon juice.
It *might* but citrus fruits notoriously lose flavor when heated
This was the most charming thing ever. I love these two together.
The switch between live audio and dubbed audio throws me every time. I'm like, wow, their mouths aren't even MOVING. Truly warlocks
The chemistry between Alvin and Kendall is perfect!
Little extra tip; if you have hot hands, run your wrists under the cold water tap for about a minute; it makes your hands nice and cold for a while so that you don't ruin the pastry! :D
YESSSSS we got another Kendalvin episode!!! 🤩 I could watch a 100 of these episodes. Their energy on the screen is amazing.
Best blind-baking 'weights' are coins. Not only are they heavier than rice or pulses but they conduct the heat - so the inner surface of your pie crust (the bit you WANT cooked cos that's where the filling is going) will brown as quickly as the outside.
These two mesh really well
I love their chemistry together on screen. more please!
The dynamic duo I didn’t know I needed.
Kendall and Alvin are a duo we need to see more of. They have such a fun on screen chemistry. I laughed a lot during this vid and it makes me want to make a pie
I hope episodes with Alvin & Kendall become a regular thing! Love your dynamic :)
These episodes are the controlled chaos I need in my life
Love some Kendall and Alvin on camera!
Alvin and Kendall have incredible chemistry as hosts, it was delightful to watch
I cannot express how much I love this duo
The prettiest lemon meringue pie I've ever seen. Learned a new way to prep meringue and torch it the right way!
This was amazing! Please give us more “Basic” Kendall & Alvin 🎉
The Babish universe is the best universe there is. It's the most wholesome show of any I've seen. We love you guys so much!!
They are hilarious together. I love this.
loving the spontaneous and slightly slapstick aproach! Altho kendall has been a force behind the scenes a lot i do hope we get to se more of her team-up energy on screen in the future :)
I love Kendall's explanation of cooking concepts!
That was a friendship pie. I loved this. Both of you are treasures.
Been watching since the Frasier/Star Trek days, and I'm glad the channel expanded to things I didn't know I wanted.
Keep on making me smile while you make me hungry.
Love Alvin & Kendall! Their different vibes came together well!
i LOVE this dynamic duo!! also RIP to steve ahahahah
This was wonderfully delightful, slightly chaotic, and I look forward to more K&A content.
I'll appreciate Kendall's callout of our Gateway Arch! (I think Steve would have as well, based upon baseball loyalties ;) )
Love their dynamic.
Absolutely adore this duo! They’re great 😌
I on and off watch Babish so I’m not overly familiar with the lore and character of the Babish Extended Universe, however, these two are brilliant!
This is so great! I love the full universe we have here! Thanks to the whole team!
This was a great combo! More of these two!
That was great I’d love to see more segments like this with Kendall and Alvin👍
the energy is incredible
The vibes are top notch in this vid.
