one thing i will say i do not appreciate about this recent trend among content creators is how they; and in this specific scenario this guy acts like he's totally made a black forest "gateau" before this video and totally didn't google the recipe and/or name of the cake for bonus points
I too hate it when people do their research, probably did make a black forest gateau before they filmed this to ensure they knew how to do it right, and googled it to make sure they were making it authentically and then bothered to get the exact ingredients required to make it authentic for bonus points that they will earned.
i think you just missed the point i was trying to make
The point being that you're mad that he's demonstrating a recipe for an authentic black forest cake and bothered to research it? How would you know he hasn't made a black forest cake before anyway? The dude makes a lot of stuff all the time; he's a passionate cook.
very insightful
congratulations, you just described what learning is It's not a bad thing to share something you learned
Always nice to see skill improvement and especially that skill shared, but I do find Babish to be a bit on the Dunning-Kruger curve, especially in his earlier episodes. Not that I mind of course, just interesting to notice.
what? this is one of the most nonsensical criticisms i've ever heard hey this is binging with IDIOT and i know nothing, i'm making a black forest gateau (which i had to google because i'm a FUCKING MORON), by the way that's a cake, not an actual forest (didn't know this either) - the video bobs would prefer watching
yeah the way he's now more open about his mess ups during the process is a lot better. I assumed early on he was pushing that chef show appearance more and now he's slowly humanised is as he's becoming more of a character than just a torso making the things.
yeah it became better when he would talk about where he was inspired from or how he made a mistake. I found it funny in the beginning when he presented 3 diff techniques to make burgers not puff up each time as fact only some episodes apart, or the time he proselytized putting paper under your cutting board to prevent it from moving like its revolutionary.
Feels like he should have went with darker chocolate on the outside. Most portal cakes I have seen used a chocolate "frosting", maybe that made it look lighter as well. Nothing dramatic though. Seems like a solid cake tho.
That looks like a nice cake, I might have to re-watch this the next time I make a Black Forest Gateau.
more like the cake that valve took from irl and put into portal made irl again
today on "forging with fredrick," we'll be making the crowbar from half-life 2
If Babish was a REAL cook he would have been born with the knowledge of how to make this cake
the important part of this video is HE STOLE VINNY (from It's Alive)AND IS MAKING A NEW SERIES WITH HIM.
And then using a scan of that Crowbar, we'll get it in a game. The Crowbar from Forging with Fredrick from Half Life 2.
