Sorry, but this wasn’t filmed well for a cooking video. The camera should’ve focused on the food, not her full-body shots. Just saying it so you can improve. Honestly, it gave off Meghan Markle cooking video vibes—and we all know her production quality isn’t exactly top-tier. Also, what’s with the “one pot meal”? 😂 Don’t be so bloody lazy. Use another pot so everything doesn’t end up so mashed. What’s wrong with using a couple of pots? Where’s the world heading!
The lesson feels welcoming and organized; approachable examples and clean on‑screen text guide attention well �� Do you prefer slower examples or real‑speed clips for beginners? Also, I create small practice clips too and would appreciate any ideas you’re comfortable sharing.
Thank you so much for the variety of protein dishes! Unfortunately I’m allergic to both chicken & eggs & so many high protein dishes include that. I truly appreciate this variety you have given!
But Talapia is bad
very good
This is going straight to my favorites.
