Can't deal with the music. So sorry. Please turn music off while you're speaking.
@@juliaconway5866 We agree the music could have been lower. Unfortunately we can not turn it off after posting :) we learned our lesson and are more cautious now. So sorry you could not enjoy the video...
Turn off the background music. It takes away from what you are saying
Unfortunately not possible afterwards... haha But noted!
I liked the music 🎶 and tunes maybe turn down a little. ❤
I also enjoyed the music, especially the banjo bluegrass, but bringing it down a bit in the mix is a good suggestion. overall a well done vid. good job, Peace
Wow! So many complainers! Just be grateful that someone took the time to share their ideas. Thank you for sharing! I had no issues with the music. I was focused on what you were doing and I could hear you just fine 😊
@@Mischeel333 thank you! :)
I completely agree.
I didn’t understand what anyone was talking about because I didn’t recall straining to hear her. I didn’t have any issues then and not recalling hearing the music is probably indication enough.
I look forward to seeing more things you have to put up. This was beautiful was beautiful. I love your voice.
Exactly!!! They just ruin the vibe for those that appreciate content. Sheesh!!!
I agree 100% Great info and the music was just fine. Congrats ! Great content snd I love the Gnocci recipe.
Gostei muito e vou avisar aos amigos !! Tem muita gente chata que reclama de tudo na vida. ❤
@@RiquePantoja obrigado!!!
sorry, the music drowned out the voice and this is difficult for me because of some deafness as well so it's hard to make sense of what you are saying.
I agree about the music.
So sorry to hear you both could not enjoy it,.we learned our lesson and now use less music or at a lower volume.
@@thefarmingchefs Thank you, we all have to learn and what makes me happy is that you listened and didn't get defensive. I subbed to your channel XX
The music is distracting. I would rather just listen to you. Nice kitchen!
AGREED! I can't hear her over the unnecessary music! Why are people doing this?
Please re do this video without the music..way to loud..sad because I was so looking g forward to watching thus video
So sorry about the sound.. learning curve:) will see if we can do another basil video this summer. Currently we are dealing with an upcoming knee surgery. Once that is out of the way, more time will be available!
Yes I agree, I had to read the transcript! I can’t hear you.
@@DianneChambers1good idea! The music is so awful I’ll just read the transcript because I really want the info.
Recommend a lapel mike. Perfect voice is critical in this crowded RUclips field.
What a beautiful kitchen and amazing plants! Thank you for sharing such informativa knowledge. 🌱
I just came across your channel and I can't wait to preserve some of my basil in salt. Thank You for sharing all your tips for Basil. Oh! and Thank You for giving shelf life.
I can’t watch this with the terrible loud music. Why would you put music so loud over the top of your voice so we can’t concentrate on what you’re saying?
During the editing process, the music was not so loud on my computer... It was an honest mistake, Probably an issue with my speaker... Sorry to hear you are dismayed about it. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do afterwards.. Luckily not everyone seems to have the same issue. Hope you have a great day. ps: putting cc on migth help to distinguish what I am saying.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. But,the background music is too loud and distracting.
thank you, noted :)
I’d love to watch it but the music is too loud
Thank you for the feedback! Indeed it is too loud. We will not make that mistake again! :D
Never knew you can do so many things with basil!!
I love basil in a quiche with nutmeg.yum.
Thank you for sharing your gift so generously! You have a magical skill of delivering content and I really enjoyed every single second of it. You made it look so easy and fun 🙏🏾🫶🏼❤️
I definitely try the walnut paste tomorrow morning, and that salt in the jar I think is pretty genius! So simple and I never ever thought about it 😂 so glad I found your video!!!! Thank you so much for all that you do 🙌🙏🏾🫶🏼 sending you lots of love, from Latvia 🇱🇻
Wauw, this comment made my day! Thank you so much.
Thank you! I’ve learned so much from this!
Thank you, I didn't realize basil could be stored in so many different ways. And agree, your easy to listen to and follow.
I loved these versatile uses of basil. I’m growing tons of it in my garden this year. This video is so helpful! And I can hear everything very clearly.
I had to stop watching, the music is too distracting. I am having a hard time following what you are saying.
Thank you for your feedback. I think we could have indeed lowered the volume slightly. We are learning the video making process as we go :)
@@thefarmingchefs with background music, less is best. Like maybe 1minute total for your entire video would be appropriate.
I agree, great content but music has to go
And speak much more slowly!
Same here. Sad.
Thank you for all the ideas. I have a lot of basil growing and wondering what I was going to do with it.
The gnocchi dish looks fabulous.
Thank you!!! wonderful suggestions!
thank you! I have lots of basil in the garden that I need to do something with!! (music is OK with me 😊) My daughter and I visited Portugal and we loved it. We ate so well and made friends
Please stop your complaining about the music and get a life.
Hihi! :D
WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing. I heard everything just fine, btw.
Thank you! Fantastic video! I do have to agree, the music was loud and a bit distracting but everything else about this video was really good. What kind of cheese were you putting around your gnocchi? My mother came from the Isle of Capri and she was a wonderful cook.
Thank you very much fro this lovely comment! The sheeps' cheese we used here is a local fresh cheese, but in the absence of a good salty sheep's cheese, you could use feta :) Ohh yes, the Italians know their stuff!
I love your kitchen. Good vibes and great organizational stuff.
Thank you!!!
Lots of good information. Thank you!
The dish at the end looks 👍. Good video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Sorry but I agree. No music needed.
DELIGHTFUL ! I ENOYED THIS LESSON- THANK YOU !
Thank you! I love this. I'm headed out to harvest a bunch of my basil and needed this video today. You're also a treat to listen to:)
Sorry that someone found you difficult to follow. The music was soothing and you fresh natural demeanour and vocal rhythm added to the very helpful skill transfer you had hoped for. I will be sure to revisit your site as “herbs are us” in our family
@bradsmith1046 Thank you for this wonderful message! 💖 I'm looking forward to creating more content like this, and I it's to hear that you are also a herb fanatic!!!
Great ideas!
So apropos as I have oodles of basil ready for the picking!
Really love some of these ideas. I wish I knew these tricks with basil about a year ago because at my work we got four cases of basil in and didn’t know what to do with them
Ahhh that sounds like I indeed made this video a year too late :D I hope you will come across a lot of basil in the future! Thank you for your comment! Where did you get all the basil from? :)
i work at a monastery and they had a large donation of basil... it happens... I like the channel; and have subd and will pay attention and review past videos we come across large quantities of "donated" stuff from donors and I like to focus on preserving whatever we get... ty and keep up the great work@@thefarmingchefs
We grow basil on our windowsill year round. And we plan to start parsley there as well. Our kitchen window faces south. In the winter it is very, very bright. And we pronounce it bay-syl. And Italians call many, many different recipes pesto. The word pesto is from the action of crushing something in a mortar with a pestle (pestle=pesto). So anything made that way is a pesto. So yes, you can call it pesto.
Thank you, very informative… beautiful kitchen too!
Everyone is right the music is too loud. However I turned on the CC and could read what you were saying and turned off the sound. Works great.
smart thinking! i have passed on this tip!
Hey I don't mean to be rude, I just wanted to let you know that there is a problem with your audio setup. Your voice is only coming in through the right channel, therefore only through the right ear cup on my headset. I've confirmed that my setup is working correctly, so it must be something in the recording. You might have to make sure that your mic track is set to mono instead of stereo. I hope you look into it so I can watch some of your videos, thanks!
Dear @podsofwar thank you for this super useful info. We indeed had it set to the wrong setting! Hope you enjoy our other videos! (some had the faulty setting, but most don't) warm wishes!
@@thefarmingchefsplease delete the music
@lindastephen-seaver6345 Unfortunately, this can not be done after uploading... :) In our newer video's we no longer use background music with this volume.
@@thefarmingchefs awesome, thank you!!
GOSH!!! Your kitchen must have smelt unbelieveable!!!
it did :)
So interesting, thank you. Not sure when I'll have olive oil again, the increase in the prices of the oil here in Portugal is shocking at the moment. Great video, well done! ❤
It is true! The prices are going through the roof! We have oil from the farm, but the lagar (mill) we use also sells oil. Usually for a much more reasonable price then the supermarket. I think it was 5euro/liter last year. Am curious to see what they are charging this year.
Would love to hear your ideas without the music. Your accent is a bit tough for me with it.
Sorry for the editing mistake. others have tried turning on the subtitels to better understand. Hope you will enjoy out other videos, in which te music is less distracting. :)
I love sweet potatoes, going to try that recipe 😋 and basil storing was 🔥 🎶🎵🎶😉 #US
Hihi, thank you!!! I would love to know how your gnocchi came out! Sending the best!
Please music is distracting. Please redo
Noted :)
I watched it on my iPhone & discovered that when I turned it horizontally the speaking was louder. Hopefully that may help others too.
I just found your channel; I love it! Besides drying Basil, I didn't really know what else to do with it. I don't like pine nuts so thank you so much for sharing the recipes with the walnuts which I like bettter. Hello from Pennsylvania USA!
Please consider stopping the music.
@@germanbrethren9320 it is something that once the video is up, we unfortunately can not change afterwards... editing mistake. We apologise
Great video. I've been obsessed with fresh basil lately, thank you!
It is a wonderful herb!
Great video! I aspire to growing even a fraction of that much basil 🌿, hopefully next summer. The salt preservation method was a new one on me: looks easy and I love how long it can last that way! New subscriber, thanks for your video (I didn’t think you spoke too quickly at all!😊)
I love your accent. I could listen to it all day... If it weren't for the background music.
Background music should be drowned out by any talking and only be heard when there is no talking.
Just spent 11 minutes trying to to figure out what you were saying. As much as I love your accent, I'm not coming back. Sorry.
This has been so helpful, and I love the way you present the information. Thank you!
Thank you!
Great video… helped me so much. I grew so much basil and quite a variety… including tulsi… I will dry that… have to ck out a video first
Great instructions
Please, please stop the music when you are talking! It is incredibly annoying!
Beautiful way to keep basil. TY 😮❤
Thank you!!!
I never knew you could use salt to keep herbs like that!
Does it flavor the salt too?! I assume that it does. I must try this!
@@lobodo988 it does flavour the salt :)
Great info! I learned so much! Thank you! ❤
How long will a bag of frozen basil last in the freezer? Great video and info..Thank you!
Thank you! :) maximum 6 months I would say, I prefer this method least though, due to the fact that they never quite has the same fresh aroma as fresh leaves. I would make oil, if that was what I was going for :)
Great Video! So many things I didn't know!!!
Just came across your channel, and learned so much about storing my basil. Thank you, I’ll be trying several of these I never knew before.
Btw, the salted basil, does this create basil-tasting salt like garlic salt, etc? or is it just a way to store some fresh basil? I’m going to try this too! Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Rhe salt gets a basil infused scent which makes it great to use in vinegraitte or other topping of dishes (salad, meat). We just have s new episode out sharing a lot of zucchini recipes (it's our newest episode) if you are interested. :) Hope you have a wonderful day
How do I use the basil stored in salt please? Thank you for sharing these techniques.
We use the leaves on top of pizza usually. The salt can be used in dressings and in mayonnaise. It can also be used to sprinkle on top of a salad. Thank you for your question!
They look amazing. Thank you
lovely thank you
If there's a better way of "getting rid" of anything than turning it into pesto, I don't know what it is.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise ❤
Turn down the music -very distracting
1) agree with other comments - music is distracting. Use as intro or bumper but not all the way through 2) that sweet potato gnocchi looks great!
1. sorry, you can maybe turn on cc>?
2. thank you!!!
On the last one with basil and almonds, did you add olive oil as well?
yes! You can add it according to your own liking, more liquid or more firm. Don't forget to add some salt. :)
Great information!
Thank you for sharing
I loved the music! And the ideas for storing basil. Thank you!
Can't hear u over the music, plz re-do ur vid
Awesome information tips, txs for sharing.
Thank you! Happy this was useful! We love our basil :) Do you grow any herbs?
LOVE! Thank you!
Thank you! Love this comment ;)
Love your ideas, going to try some out.
Lovely video - thank you for sharing these basil-conservation techniques. My mouth is watering for that sweet potato gnocchi. Good vibes from Colorado and my garden full of basil!
Thank you JF! Sending back lots of good vibes from Portugal :)
The older crowd has difficulty with background music. Not meaning to complain
@TheInanna1212 Thank you for this kind and valid feedback. We have taken this into consideration for all future videos.
Can't hear you well enough to continue.
Thanks for sharing learning a lot.
Lovely! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed video! Do you wash basil before drying? Thank you!
@@luliu803 only if there is visible dirt :)
yummy I have big plants I can't wait to do some of this ... I have one question I see you used a foot processor on the last recipe and like a vitamix on the others ? does it matter ? THANK YOU for sharing this
My blade is getting a little dull. For a finer result, the vitamix is best. But that is a little more faffy to get out... :)
Redo with out the music please.
I had the volume all the way up and could not hear you...I put on closed captioning and followed along that way. Thank you for the info. I am sure I will use some of your techniques.
Thank you, I will see if I at some point can remake the video..
It all looks good! I’ve had a prolific basil plant for several summers and feel bad letting it just die! Gonna try the ways of preserving and serving!
Sweet potato gnocchi looks so good! Can’t wait to try that one!
Great news :) Good luck!
I just want to know how best to keep a bunch of basil leaves fresh longer....is that covered in this video?
@@Reincarnation111 keep them on the stem in a glass of water on your kitchen conter naar sunlight. That is the best way
I live in South Georgia USA and I have a huge basil bush, yes it’s the size of a bush! It grows amazingly well here and I appreciate the variety in this video to help preserve it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t like the cold so I’ll have to harvest it soon.
Wauw what an abundant blessing :) Yes, unfortunately the cold weather is not it's friend :)
I have never heard it pronounced like you do. Been in the south to long. Lol
learned a lot...THANK YOU! LOVE your functional and organized kitchen
Thank you!
What kind of cheese did you put on your sweet potato gnocchi? I will be thinking about that gnocchi for quite some time!
I used a cheese similar to feta cheese. A salty, slightly tart crumbly cheese will do :) Thank you for watching!
I love all the ideas for storing basil! I’m just wondering how you use the basil stored in salt. Does to become a finishing salt that is basil flovored?
@DeeGee19 you can use both the flavour as well as the 🍃:).I use them on things like pizza, breads and even in salads. The salt wenuse for rubs, in soups, vinegraitte and straight onto salads. Hope that helps
It is notorious that dry basil tastes like hay. You want to preserve and dry only the basil flowers that they really taste like fresh basil.
The hay flavour usually comes when the fragrance compounds are lost due to exposure to sun or excessive heat (over 35 celsius). slow drying at room temp is best. But I would agree that dried basil is not the favourite of dried herbs, as it does not come close to it's fresh counterpart...
Great video and information! Thank you for sharing!
You are more then welcome, thanks for watching!
Cannot understand what was said. Get a microphone, it will be awesome.
sorry for the edit error of putting the music too loud. We hope you enjoy our other video's where the music is lower. turning on subtitels might help distinguish my voice from the music :)
You need to turn off the music when you’re talking we can hardly hear you!
thanks for you input, as you can see in other replies, we acknowledge the problem and unfortunately cannot turn it off after uploading... We have learned from our mistake :D
Please change down the music. Some of us have low tolerance for noise.
@@emcarver8983 i can unfortunately not change it after upload .
I made pesto with walnuts instead of pine nuts and lots if lemon and parm...froze it.
delicious!!!!!
Please take the music off, it's not needed, spoils the good content thank you
unfortunately I can not turn it off after.. apologies for the edit error. turning on subtitels might help.
5:18 I just call everything "poor man's " whatever if I can't make it exactly. I use sunflower seeds in my poor man's pesto 😊
@heidibear44 I might steal that for a next video :D
@@thefarmingchefs Go for it! I also use nasturtium seeds for poor man's capers. 😅 In South africa there are a lot of imported ingredients that cost an arm and a leg, we improvise a lot. 💪🏼
When air drying I put a paper bag over the bunch to protect from dust.
@@Bethelaine1 great idea!
Hi, how long does it last in the freezer ? Thank you!
Up to max 6 months
