Most superheroes wear capes or have an icon….. Andy, he has the infamous black shirt.
But not all capes wear a superhero 😂
haha this is awesome!
I have that same shirt!
Nick DiGiovanni is the Robin to Andy's Batman as he wears the same thing.
@@brooksnorris4118 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
Andy, you are fast becoming my favourite RUclips chef. Very relatable, simple yet delicious looking home cooking. Keep it up!
Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/5WA14nxtSow/видео.html
@@andy_cooks Came here to write exactly the same thing. I cook for myself and many recipes on RUclips are just a bit too complicated or have a few too many ingredients to be worth the effort and expense, but these look delicious and achievable for someone with my limited experience. Thanks Andy, keep it up!
Andy is the bg3 of RUclips instructional chefs
Being an Aussie it helps tremendously that you use proper measurements. "Fahrenheit to celsius converter" would have to be my most googled thing.

Watching this in the middle of the night. This made me hungry
It’s not cheating, it’s working smarter not harder.
Yesss
When you see a renowned chef making the mistake of the undersized pot, it helps a lot taking the pressure off when you're in the same position. Thanks Andy! :)

Couscous the food so good they named ot twice
👌
I think the last one might be my favorite... I'm gonna make it with quinoa and boneless thighs tonight!!
Nice 👌
I would love nothing more than for Andy to have his own SBS Aus Cooking Show
Andy and Ethan C are the best cooking RUclips channels. Practical recipes real cooking an no excessive annoying edits. Love Ethan’s deep dives too
Ethan is a legend!
Joshua Weissman is good (8 mln). and Andy ofcourse
Hey Andy really love this one. Perfect balance of professional expertise, relatability and practicality. You are so likeable! Much love from Canada
I really appreciate that, thank you!
😊
Watch this guy regularly now, good recipes, presented well, no fuss. He seems like a proper chef who provides recipes we can all do fairly easily. Keep those videos coming. Hope to see longer ones like this over the shorts.
Andy makes everything look so easy to prepare and cook
thank you. i hope it helps with your meal planning
haha I know, don't even get me started on how fast he sliced up that chicken thigh while also talking
I'm not a chef, but I have some culinary training, and I just love how you explain what you do in each each step. Instead of saying "cook on medium heat" you say WHY. So important!

I love the “Shorts” with Babe! She eats so well!
Thanks! We'll get here on one of these longer videos soon!
Those recipes looks incredible, could I get a beautiful recipe for Borscht please? Thanks Chef Andy!
Only thing I’d do differently is with the curry dish. Fry up your dry spices in only before adding the other ingredients. It helps those spice to bloom and have a deeper flavour. My Guyanese mom always said to do this to take the greenness out of the curry spices.
Absolute legend, so glad I stumbled upon this channel!
Thank you!
The Best cook award goes to ANDY🥳🥰👏👏
It’s great to see talent people with real passion for their craft get the recognition they deserve

Can't wait to try the Romesco Andy, thanks for these mate! You always motivate me to cook
Thanks legend. Romesco is such a good sauce to have in the fridge!
Well thank you Chef Andy!! I always struggle with what to do with leftover chicken, these are great recipes for that.
And remember we can't have Babe upset 😂
You guys are awesome Chef thank you and the Babe ❤️
Thank you!
Youre killing me with your recipes...... Absolutely awesome
They are brilliant Andy. The chicken and couscous salad looks like a ripper!!!
It is a good one 👌

Andy. Thank you. I need more simple, quick recipes for my repertoire.
This is great. Thank you so much for taking time to do this for us
I love Andy’s cheerfulness while cooking and delight when the results are good. I’m smiling the whole time I’m watching 😊
This weekend is pesto making because the garden desperately needs cutting back. I freeze it in 50ml containers (there are only two of us) and it stores really well.
Love these 3 recipes -and the honesty that they'll take 30 mins ish, unlike certain TV chefs with their unrealistic claims for speedy dinners!🙄🙂
Love this Andy well done you 💞
Awesome video mate. Demystifying the art of cooking and elevating it to next level. Thanks again
Yum 100% trying this week
Nice video. Thanks Andy.
I'm saving this one for sure🤤
Awesome.
I have to try this.
This was fantastic! I can't wait to try these recipes out.
Love these great receipes thanks so much for sharing! I'm certainly trying the romanesco recipe!!
Very much enjoy your videos and especially the interactions with wife and friends. Thanks again!!!
YUM they look great - Wish my family weren't so fussy, but I'm all in.
I enjoy the fact that you always seem to ENJOY your foods!!
I love it, just as much as i love cooking
Chef you are too good and my best ❤
Thank you!
I just love andy's cooking. Aussie cooking is all about freshness and simplicity. Australians are lucky to have the freshest seafood, lamb and beef, and many aussie chefs use elements of thai and malaysian cuisine by incorporating sweet, sour and spicy flavors into every dish. This is what makes the aussie food scene truly vibrant, and Andy emodies that. Cheers Andy, keep up the good work.
And THIS is why you're at the top of the food chain Andy - thanks for the insights and inspiration. Hello from London : - )
Brilliant!
Fantastic video!
Thank you🙌🏻
Hi Andy! I wanted to thank you for putting together those amazing recipes and videos. You really put a lot of time and effort into this, and I appreciate it. I'm going to try out all of the recipes soon - I think they look delicious! Thank you again for taking the time to create these wonderful dishes. Danielle 😊
Amazing simple meals with affordable ingredients 😊
Everything looks great but my favorite is the couscous salad. Looks so delicious.
Oh yeah, that's a good one 👌
Simple delicious recipes 👍🏻
All three look delicious! 😋
It's hard to pick a favourite
@@andy_cooks That's when you go Harry Potter and say, I'll take the lot! 😁 Thank you and Summer for introducing me to new-to-me-recipes. You guys are awesome! 💙
I am going to cook all of these!! I’ve been craving pesto chicken pasta for quite a while now! You must have read my mind!
It warms my heart to see so many views so quick... Well done mate.
Learned a new word for bell peppers today, thanks Andy! Cheers from Sweden!
Andy, your personality and cooking skills are simply amazing! It's unbelievable how your recipes are so fast to make yet so delicious! Greetings from Poland :)
I just made the Pan-Roasted Chicken (Thighs), Couscous Salad, and Romesco, and it was delicious! Thank you so much for your content, Chef Andy! It's helping me not only be able to cook healthier for my family, but it's also helping my build my confidence in the kitchen with your easy to follow recipes and general approach to cooking. Much love to you and the team for all of your hard work.
Andy as always you make it easy for a bloke like me to look good in the kitchen. I have never made pesto before I have always purchased it. I have added the pesto chicken pasta to my menu this week. You made it look easy and if I can pull it off within a half hour. That will be a game changer for me. I spend way to much time in the kitchen.
Andy. It’s so transparent the way you love food and the crafty art of cooking you pour into all you do that is simply almost impossible not to follow you. I just hope I could ever see you cook with one of our most Argentine ingredient: DULCE DE LECHE. That would rock my world!! Thanks. From Buenos Aires, Charlie
Mr Andy Cooks ….thanks for your time and great recipes
A kitchen tour vid would be awesome Andy!
I'll do one when I'm in my own kitchen - currently building it 👌
fine video Andy, the process and your explanations of recipes is very good, this is really good channel!!!
You've really won me with these 3 👍👍👍👍
I have made the romesco chicken twice now and holy moly it has blown me away both times. It is also so quick to make!! Big wins

I love cooking any kind of chicken recipes I will definitely try these hopefully mine turn out as good as yours. Andy you have become my favorite chef to watch much respect from a guy living in a small town in the mountains of Virginia USA.
If you’re learning how cook this is a great video to start with!
He’s a professional so obviously he knows what he’s doing. But he’s SHOWING the little steps that make a great home cook. Boiling the water first, properly oiling the pan the cooks the chicken, TASTING THE SAUCE, and adjusting. Adjusting a recipe to fit the ingredients you have, using the old lemon in the fidge. Like these where all leasons I had learn the hard way. It took me years to learn what he shows in first 5 minutes of this video!
Thanks for the mid week ideas! I make chicken pesto on occasion but usually buy the pesto 🤷♀️ thanks for the recipe 👍
Hi Andy, really loved this video. Could you do a video showing what we need in our kitchens to make your amazing food ie simple appliances, pans/ pots, spices/herbs and some pantry staples. Thanks mate
Love your kitchen
Love your person
Loove your cooking style
❤️ 😍
This is the exact way I like to cook on a weeknight. Good show!
Have watched and rewatched a good 10 hours of these videos and made a few dishes.. ! Thanks mate
Glad to see your doing long form videos! Keep up the good work
Pasta with chicken, mamma mia 🫠 I'd do pasta with pesto and then serve grilled/fried chicken with tomatoes
it's good though 👌
@@andy_cooks I think you're still doing a great job teaching people how to cook good meals! Keep it up!
Andy, you're making great videos with easy to cook recipes for home cooks. One of the interesting lessons is how you have many things (oils, spices, vegetables) "ready to go" where you can mix them in and optimize your time.
Can you make a video on the things a home cook can prepare ahead of time to be able to mix things and finish fast?
I'd say look at whichever recipe and prep accordingly as it always changes
Much appreciated video. Thank you
My favorite 30 minute cooking 👍
Andy, your videos & shorts are brilliant. Thanks heaps for the handy tips and even better recipes that are easy to follow.
Great ones! Thanks!
