NotYourMommasHistory on YouTube had a really good episode on the history of the Philadelphia Pepper Pot. I wonder if ATK/Cook's Country has ever looked into the recipe. Love you all!
👍❤️u guys Love all your episodes Elle u look fabulous
I love watching both of you so much ! I feel represented.
Good chemistry here…!!!
When did Elle get married?😭
Egypt.. don't go! Food will make you sick. Really sick. People will follow you around and bother you to no end. Horrible!
I could just drink Sriracha Sauce Straight 🌶️🌶️🍷🌶️🌶️
great q & a session. I totally agree with Lawman Johnson on bolognese sauce as lazy/comfort food. I make a huge batch (as much as can fit in my largest enameled cast iron pot), and sure it takes a few hours of prep/initial cooking, but then it's just simmering for 5+ hours and you're done. It freezes really well and then you can heat it up relatively quickly when you want something tasty and satisfying. I have a few containers in my freezer right now 🙂
water and cornstarch…you cats don't watch the show?????
Hey Elle,I've been watching you on ATK for a few years. You look great in your new body. Like a glamourous fashion model but not too thin, so keep it up. In your past you looked just like my best friend who is also beautiful even in a larger size.
My gosh! I just love 💘 ❤ 💕 this man. He's adorable! I love Elle too. I would love to see more of these sessions. I live in the South but my cooking style is far from it. I love cooking from different culture backgrounds and trying things I didn't grow up on. Please keep these videos coming so we can learn more about Lawman and his cooking techniques, as well as Elle.
This is a fun video. You two are great!
I hand carved my own maple wooden spoon from a small log that my dad cut for me. I made one for my mom, too.
So excited to see you guys!! 🤗
Avocado is definitely NASTY!
I would love for them to test a really good collard green and black eye pea recipe!!!!
Also maybe succotash/southern style fried fish. So many heritage dishes to try out!
Edit: southern style with smoked meat etc.
Hey Elle and welcome Lawman!! Great Q & A guys. Elle I agree about the okra. I've never had them fried and in my gumbo I only like them cut up very small so they cook away into flavor town lol. Lawman I didn't like avocados either when I was younger. I only eat them in guacamole and never sliced. I love guac on my tacos, burritos and of course chips.
Really? Pepper and off the shelf hot sauce are you're favorite "spices?" Is hot sauce a "spice?" I like pepper but I still wonder why you didn't embellish on all the other options.
Elle is a sweetheart! She has such an incredible Spirit! Will you marry me Elle❤
I thought I was the only one who didn't eat avocado! And ATK does have a butter cheese pasta dish. I watched that video two days ago. The vegan mac and cheese uses cashews for the sauce.
How did I get to be 68 watching tons of cooking shows and never hear about ramps until this video? They sound yummy, so I must plant some for next spring.
Great ask the kitchen. Thanks
Be safe, healthy and wealthy.
Keep smiling
Yayyy! More lawman AND Elle!
Oil wooden utensils with food grade mineral oil. Olive wood has lots of natural oils and very tight grain. My cheap wooded spoons and forks develop a patina but don't pick up the colors.
New faces! More of this!! Great post.
butter cheese pasta?? 4 ingredients?? yes please. love elle and lawman!
Totally agree w/okra never ate it fried! What avocado !🥑 🤣😱😡🤔 Also Lawman never experienced racism in Boston! (Side eye) 🙄
I don’t know Simone, first you don’t get invited to burgers and dogs, AND now Lawman doesn’t like avocado! 🤨🤣
I LOVE these two! Elle, you're invited to my home for dinner as soon as this virus thingie is over 🙂 (however, I'm not a 'spicy food' fan, so we may have some compromises!)
I would like to see you all cook chitterlings.
Ella!!! Miss you all but enjoy following this summer being shut up … my go to hot spice is cayenne and dried habaneros peppers …
I normally like these Ask AKA episodes but this one seemed really low energy to me
Brewer's yeast gives the 🧀 cheese taste to many things
I watch ATK quite a bit, never seen Lawman Johnson (amazing name btw) when you
been on there?
every working parent loves 4 ingredient dishes.
Following Elle on Instagram!!! Love her so much. Ok, but pickled okra? So good
About the slimmy stewed okra… Soaking in diluted vinegar for 30 minutes before cooking prevents the sliminess.
He's adorable
I love Elle and Lawman! Just so down to earth, knowledgeable and are a great listen.
LOVE IT:)
Must have salt & pepper😁😁
I have a heritage technique, cast iron for cornbread. I tried not to scream when I saw cornbread baked in a Pyrex
How about making Brunswick Stew with just a bit of thin okra stars in it?
Bridget's Brunswick Stew recipe is awful. It's got boneless chicken breasts in it. Yuck! It's supposed to be made with barbecue ends.
Elle is looking great!👍🏼
