Want to try these food scrap recipes yourself? Check out the full recipes here: barrylewis.net/recipe/food-scrap-recipes/ Let me know which one you'd try or if you have your own food scraps recipes, air fryer potato peels is a good one!
If you cut off outer skin of pineapple, then slice into discs including core, you can dehydrate and not only will the discs look like flowers PRETTY, but the core becomes chewy and easy to eat. Absolutely delicious!! Idk why no one else but me does this. You must give it a go. Would be interested in good scrap use besides curry. Curry seems the easy way out. Lol

Potato peelings deep fried (or hot air blown) 'til crispy and seasoned make for a nice snack, and apparently good for you cos the skin contains more good stuff than the rest of the potato... :D
@@mrbarrylewis It seems to be hotly debated, but the general consensus is that yes, carrot skin does contain a higher level of some nutrients & fibre than the rest of the carrot, but the best outcome really is eating the lot, so eating the peel in another dish is a win-win... :)
I actually thought of something similar for an earlier writing project. I think I called it "shelukha", since the character who mentioned the fried peelings was vaguely Slavic.
I’ve seen people make kimchi with the scraps from a watermelon but the curry is an idea I hadn’t considered before. Love this idea, I am picky so I probably won’t eat half of this but it’s still fun to watch! Oh yes coffee has been used to enhance chocolate flavors for a long time. If you want something coffee flavored you have to put a ton into it for the flavor to compete with the chocolate otherwise you’re just gonna make the chocolate even stronger. It’s like how adding a pinch of salt to your cookies makes them sweeter, your using the bitter to enhance the sweet.
Broccoli stem coins make for great food with dips. We had watermelon rind pickles as a kid. Veggie fritters are yummy. Thanks for reminding me of some old favorites!
This should be a series! I feel like this would be on food network called Food Scraps. this was a great idea and with times as they are right now using everything you have and not throwing away perfect food that could be used for a whole other meal. Great idea Barry.
Great video, I love how you have decorated the garden kitchen with the brick wall and wooden worktops, it’s how I would like my ACTUAL kitchen to look! I will have to get saving 😊
glad to see you back, barry!! hope you and the family had a wonderful, restful festive period! new kitchen looks great too! also i've added espresso powder to brownies and chocolate cakes - i'm not a coffee fan and i've never bene able to taste it, it just adds an extra level of richness to chocolatey cakes
The lighting looks good to me for when you do standard videos. It's not too bright, too dull and most importantly, it's clear. I recommend not messing with it too much to make it 'perfect'.
I’ve made the first one with leftover veggies from the Sunday roast & added curry powder & chickpeas yummy 😋 Great video & thanks for sharing Barry 🤗👍🥦🥕🌽
For the brownies, let the coffee grounds sit in a tablespoon of cold water or milk for an hour, then add them to your brownie mix. Might add on another 5 minutes of baking time, but you'll get more of that coffee essence throughout the batter, and thus, through the end result.
My grandma always collected leftover vegetables in a zip bag and stored them in the freezer. Whenever she chopped vegetables, she added her leftovers in this bag and when the bag was full, she made her own vegetable stock with herbs (parsley, chives) and some salt and pepper and then froze the broth in large ice cube trays. There are instructions on the internet on how to do this with leftover vegetables and which vegetables are suitable for that and oh my god her soup with this broth was so freaking delicious! Also did this once, but the cooking and straining etc. is a 3.5 hours process and I don't really have the time anymore.
4:37 if you cut with you knife. Try keeping holding the tip of you knife on the board. And move like a steam train, not pushing your knife to the board.
Right, what chef Anne Burrell calls "the motion of the ocean" when she's teaching newcomers to the kitchen. (If you haven't seen here series Worst Cooks In America, you need to check it out. So many laughs, such horrible cooks, so much great teaching, it's a food-centered icon of the hero's journey.)
Here in the States, pickled watermelon rind has been a thing for well over 100 years. I highly recommend you try it. Maybe with some Tesco balsamic vinegar as a base.
another fantastic video and the watermelon rind curry was my personal fave! as a person of bangladeshi descent, we use all sorts of peels, rinds and seeds in our cooking and watermelon is one of my favourites. it's amazing when cooked down and mashed into a ‘bhorta’ with onion, chillies, coriander and mustard oil - the flavour of the watermelon becomes so similar to something from the gourd/squash family :D
I use grated broccoli stems in one of my recipes already but I take some of the tough outer layer off. I put it in rice. I also make pesto from celery leaves.
You can do a sort of Chinese inspired vinegar brine for the melon rind aswell and eat it as a cold snack like a pickle. Fresh, crunchy, pickled goodness.
I make a really good marmelade with the "white" watermelon peel. Last year I put some cardemum powder in the marmelade and ooooohh my word, it was the cherry over the cake, wonderful! 😋 Love your videos!!😃 Regards from Sweden
On the first recipe, you can buzz from instant potato flakes in the food processor to use instead of flour. Also I’d precook the broccoli bits some as they are kind of sour
Love the idea of a show where food literally fights each other! Like a battle of the foods, which food is the best food in the world? How would the fight each other? Which food would win? Questions I didn’t think I’d be pondering on a Monday afternoon 😂
haha yes, it reminded me of a tv show with plasticine where they made celebrities wrestle in my head when I first visioned it, forget the name of that show now.
@ celebrity deathmatch!! Wow, I forgot that show existed until today! You should see if you could do a video with ardman studios and make a food version! “Vegetable deathmatch” has a ring to it
So what would be interesting to see now is testing food scrap storage ideas to keep them fresh until you can make these dishes. Does freezing them make them too mushy or setting in water make them too moist? It was a very interesting video to watch- really enjoyed it.
Just in case anyone cares, if you want an insanely sharp peeler, the one Barry uses in the vid is amazing! But it needs a warning, it is 100% sharp enough to take slithers off your nail/finger etc… if you're not really careful with it.
Right out of the gate, I was thinking "broccoli stalks", and that's literally the first example. Admittedly, I was thinking about shaving the stalk and chopping it into discs like a carrot, since that sometimes ends up in our stir-frys, but I guess grating it also works? I'll admit, I never thought of using watermelon rind for anything, but now it makes a strange kind of sense. I'm not keen on carrot ribbons in my curry, but then again I'm not big into carrots in curry in general. As for coffee grounds, I reckon you could probably steep them in vodka to extract the remaining coffeeness out of them. But the pineapple core? That's pretty genius.
Whenever I use the broccoli stem, I always take a paring knife and peel off that tough outer skin. It's basically termite food, it's so woody. I don't recommend including it in any dish, no matter how finely you process it. That being said, those veggie balls would go perfectly with some ranch dressing.
I'd have been surprised if you could taste the coffee. Normally coffee just intensifies the chocolate unless you use a ridiculous amount of coffee. One use I have for all my veg scraps peals and cores onion skins,( as long as there is no mold) get tossed Into a bag in the freezer till I have a large bag full then I put in a big pot cover with water and salt it.and let it simmer for a few hours. It makes the absolute best vegetable stock! Strain off all the bits and use however you like. (The paperie skins from the onios will give the stock a nice color too)
The pineapple core has the highest concentration of bromelain, which tenderizes meat. This includes the tissue in your mouth (tongue, cheeks, gums etc.) so eating a lot of pineapple, especially the core, can lead to mouth soreness and even bleeding. LA Beast has a video in which he eats a complete pineapple and ends up with a bleeding tongue.
Brown pineapple is ripe green pineapple is not ripe if your pineapple is ripe the core is as soft as the rest of the pineapple and you can eat the entire thing😊
Have you done grapefruit steaks? IIRC it was a great depression recipe. Pretty sure it uses the rind of the grapefruit. I'd also love to know about the pesto for the fritters. If I were to make anything from this video, it's those.
You can’t put a chicken stock cube in and then call it vegetarian Barry…that’s a no no 😄😳😄 Broccoli stalks have always been my favourite part of the vegetable as they have a beautiful flavour and a little bit of toothsomeness to them, I find the florets to be a bit meh.
This question has probably been answered before, however, would someone be so kind as to explain to me what is the checkerboard thing (door?) next to the refrigerator is/leads to? Thanks

Let me know which one you'd try or if you have your own food scraps recipes, air fryer potato peels is a good one!
There is a Mennonite recipe out there for watermelon rind. It's pickled, I've never had it. But apparently it's amazing. Good use of scraps.
Are you affiliated with the Barry Lewis Bites Channel?

The oven not being straight under the hob would drive me crazy
Yes. Me as well.
Me as well too. The first second I recognised it gave me shivers
Me too. But l9ve the outdoor kitchen
Nah. Gives you room to pull something out of the oven then set it down without the pots being in the way. Very pragmatic.
On the list with the TV wire.
I actually think broccoli stem tastes nicer than the florets! It has a wonderful nutty flavour.
me too 😅
Whatever you did to fix the audio worked a charm. Well done!
So good to have you making vids again. Loving the new garden kitchen. Mrs B were are you ❤
The kitchen looks amazing Barry! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you mate
The brownies weren’t a fail. Coffee in brownie batter is used to enhance the chocolate flavour.
Potato peelings deep fried (or hot air blown) 'til crispy and seasoned make for a nice snack, and apparently good for you cos the skin contains more good stuff than the rest of the potato... :D
Yeah I did these in an air fryer and loved them! You reckon that's the same for the carrot too? The skin has more good stuff?

Barry Lewis was able to make this in a garden kitchen! With a bunch of scraps!

Great video, I love how you have decorated the garden kitchen with the brick wall and wooden worktops, it’s how I would like my ACTUAL kitchen to look! I will have to get saving 😊
Awesome video. Love the new garden kitchen. Top notch!
I'm loving this new kitchen, Barry! I keep finding myself looking in the background, trying to spot things I recognise from the house! 😂
I actually like the stocks of broccoli raw better than I do the florets. I also ate the pineapple core too.
Congrats on the finished kitchen!
Garden kitchen looks awesome!
glad to see you back, barry!! hope you and the family had a wonderful, restful festive period!
new kitchen looks great too!
also i've added espresso powder to brownies and chocolate cakes - i'm not a coffee fan and i've never bene able to taste it, it just adds an extra level of richness to chocolatey cakes
Love to see more of these. With spring on the way, how about trying to cook some wild foraged food? Can recommend wild garlic pesto!
yay i was hoping for a new video tonight ! love the new kitchen btw !
Nice,new kitchen! Greetings from Greece!
I absolutely love your videos 😊 they give me tips for cooking and thing keep it up man 😊❤
The lighting looks good to me for when you do standard videos. It's not too bright, too dull and most importantly, it's clear. I recommend not messing with it too much to make it 'perfect'.
I love the pineapple core. It is so crunchie, and I love the flavor.
I’ve made the first one with leftover veggies from the Sunday roast & added curry powder & chickpeas yummy 😋 Great video & thanks for sharing Barry 🤗👍🥦🥕🌽
Awesome video in the awesmoe kitchen! Lots of great ideas to use scraps!
Yay! A cooling rack for the deep fried items! Thank you
Miss the family being around u but love the garden kitchen all the same
We still have Boston! Lol 😆
I'm sooooo going to try the fritters!!! What a fab idea. I need ideas for diabetic lunches!!!! They would be brilliant!!!!

@@artlovermcg7564 aww amazing!! i hope you enjoy it :D
Fantastic video idea! Thanks Barry hope your enjoying your studio/man cave
I use grated broccoli stems in one of my recipes already but I take some of the tough outer layer off. I put it in rice. I also make pesto from celery leaves.
Barry moved into the new garden kitchen: his aprons are all lined up. :)
Broccoli stems are delicious. Just peel it. It is so tender. I enjoy it raw. I snack on it while making dinner.
I use pineapple scraps for a facial.
Addition to the drink: You don't even have to peel the banana, if you whizz it up anyway. If it's organic, you can eat the peel as well
Barry, broccoli stem tastes good, it’s kind of nutty, you should have tasted it before you grated it
You can do a sort of Chinese inspired vinegar brine for the melon rind aswell and eat it as a cold snack like a pickle. Fresh, crunchy, pickled goodness.
I make a really good marmelade with the "white" watermelon peel. Last year I put some cardemum powder in the marmelade and ooooohh my word, it was the cherry over the cake, wonderful! 😋

Awesome Idea🥕🥦
Thanks a bunch
@mrbarrylewis You are so welcome!
"five thumbs of flour" feels like a measurement you'd run into in some medieval or older recipe XD
On the first recipe, you can buzz from instant potato flakes in the food processor to use instead of flour. Also I’d precook the broccoli bits some as they are kind of sour
Great video mate!
cheers
You can make a fermented pineapple probiotic drink with the pineapple core, too! And if you boil the skins you can get a pretty good pineapple tea. ❤
Great idea for a video Barry. would for sure watch a series of it (I do watch all your videos to be fair though)
Love the idea of a show where food literally fights each other! Like a battle of the foods, which food is the best food in the world? How would the fight each other? Which food would win? Questions I didn’t think I’d be pondering on a Monday afternoon 😂

I love to eat the pineapple core as is. Love your shows
From what I understand you shouldn’t get the coffee flavor in the brownies. It is there just to enhance the chocolate.
Always thought pineapple cores were harmful
Interesting. Loving the new studio by the way.
Talking about scraps, green part of carrot is edible.
So what would be interesting to see now is testing food scrap storage ideas to keep them fresh until you can make these dishes. Does freezing them make them too mushy or setting in water make them too moist? It was a very interesting video to watch- really enjoyed it.

Cooking competition where both teams make a dish, then swap kitchens and make another dish with the other team's food scraps-

the Fritters was basically just Bubble and Squeak.
We always had watermelon pickles at holiday meals.
You can use pineapple core and rind to make a fermented drink called tepache.
Whenever I use the broccoli stem, I always take a paring knife and peel off that tough outer skin. It's basically termite food, it's so woody. I don't recommend including it in any dish, no matter how finely you process it.
That being said, those veggie balls would go perfectly with some ranch dressing.
GOODNESS ME YOU'RE AT 995K SUBS!!!! IT'S COMING IT'S COMING
Well... I'd certainly watch a "Food Fights by Barry Lewis" now that you mention it
I've never thought of cooking watermelon rind that way I've only pickled it.
I'd have been surprised if you could taste the coffee. Normally coffee just intensifies the chocolate unless you use a ridiculous amount of coffee.
One use I have for all my veg scraps peals and cores onion skins,( as long as there is no mold) get tossed Into a bag in the freezer till I have a large bag full then I put in a big pot cover with water and salt it.and let it simmer for a few hours.

Yes I would love to see more videos like this. Apple peals?
4K videos please

I would slap some rum in that glass and call it a Piña Colada! 😂
Loving the new studio Barry. Do you have a red light/indicator on the outside to avoid interruptions when filming, like a standard film studio?
As a kid, I loved chewing on the Pineapple Core.
Probably add more coffee grounds next time. A heaping Tbsp isn't much.
That oven not being aligned with the hob would drive me crazy 😂
CHEESE & JAM SANDWICH !!!!!
Brown pineapple is ripe green pineapple is not ripe if your pineapple is ripe the core is as soft as the rest of the pineapple and you can eat the entire thing😊
I usually just cut the pineapple core small and eat it anyway. It's not too bad to chew on
I love both your kitchens. Have you ever tried coconut suger???
Every week you should hide a mini pug and we have to see if we can spot it 😂
Peel the broccoli stalk before shredding.
Have you done grapefruit steaks? IIRC it was a great depression recipe. Pretty sure it uses the rind of the grapefruit.
I'd also love to know about the pesto for the fritters. If I were to make anything from this video, it's those.
Awesome Video :)
Grandson had a watermelon bike helmet
I have eaten pineapple on three continents, and never removed the core - probably my favourite part as not as sweet as the rest!
You can’t put a chicken stock cube in and then call it vegetarian Barry…that’s a no no 😄😳😄
Broccoli stalks have always been my favourite part of the vegetable as they have a beautiful flavour and a little bit of toothsomeness to them, I find the florets to be a bit meh.
There is indeed a watermelon bike helmet :)
You kept likening the watermelon rind to apple. Could you make a mock apple pie using it?
I fear no man
"Sees off-set oven and hob"
I take that back
Banana peel is edible too, but I 'm sure it's packed with pesticides.
Next I wanna see you make pineapple and coffee ice cream
ironically, you should've only posted the outtakes of this video lol
when i saw the watermellon thought that you where going to make watermellon rind pickles.
That's one thing is coffee, enhances the flavor of the chocolate you will never get the flavor of the coffee in bake goods.
Are you doing another ashens video again maybe will it cake pop
This question has probably been answered before, however, would someone be so kind as to explain to me what is the checkerboard thing (door?) next to the refrigerator is/leads to? Thanks
