  15. My mom loved eclairs. I would make them for her any time I was home. She was intimidated by the process. I learned to make them on a lark. Too many bakeries passing off eclairs made with the wrong dough, commercially prepared "vanilla creme", and really bad chocolate ganache 🤐. Another cooking technique mastered. Now for those cheese ones… New Years Eve is coming…. 😃

  22. About 6:30 plus
    “Make sure they add the same size even if small”
    Sounds like an oxymoron

    I’m assuming part of that sentence is meant to represent the initial dollop but is vague…your editors should have noticed this🤷‍♂️

  23. you know, i really liked the parmasean brazil little dough ball things, but i found them a little difficult to bake up in muffin tins. i think these would be easier to bake since i can just put them on a silpat. dang.

  30. #LOL; MY EX USES TO BAKE THESE ALLLLL THE TIME FOR MY MOM WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE; THESE & BRAN MUFFIN'S SHE LOVED*..

    I WISH I COULD TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW; I MISS HIM AS A FRIEND & CAN'T FIND HIM….

    BUT YOU GOT ME WITH THAT CAKE WHEN YOU SAID:
    " ANGELA GEARY "
    #CUZ I'M A GEARY TOO; & SO WAS MY MOM.

    R.I.P.💔❤️‍🩹❣️👍🏻

  34. I like your mom's way of keeping you quiet, even if that's all it was. It gave you the chance to learn, to feel important and helpful, to bond with your siblings, and connect to her, too. It was an age-appropriate task that put you on a path to building the skills you have now. I'm sure you're aware of all this already, but as someone who didn't get a lot of that kind of parenting, I just felt the need to appreciate how cool that was.

  38. Chou gnocchi???? Ohhhh yummmm😋😋tossed with the veggies even more yummier😋😋😋gonna try this for sure👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻wonderful lesson👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️🍸🍸🍸🍸

  42. " Open up a bottle of wine, invite your friends over. You'll thank me ". Jokes of you Lan Lam, I HAVE NO FRIENDS AND WINE MAKES ME SICK.
    Had to say this because it was the only fault I can see in another of her amazing videos. Lan Lam is an amazing teacher of food. Thanks for these videos.

  44. I love your detailed descriptive commentary. I wish you would provide guidance like this using alternative flours like almond flour and coconut flour. I am extremely allergic to wheat. Because oats are usually cut in factories where wheat is also processed, I have not ever found any that I don’t react too. Even gluten free labeling rules allow a minute amount. I react to most of them. Reaction is most unpleasant and occasionally scary.
