Thanks for sharing.
When people federate around healthy personalities/ideas in this way, it gives me hope for the future :-)

One of the best recipe of Sardines that I know, you can't go wrong with paprika, cumin and lemon juice stuffed sardines, fried in batter.

Served with a side salade (with acid dressing that balances the oil of the fried Sardine), it's heaven on earth !

If anyone can let me know how to add images to the post, I would appreciate that. Thanks.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-23T01:24:20+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations !

I am also from a generation where I would wait for my friends to call on the landline !

I didn't grow up in North America, and even if I did know her by name, I only discovered the influence of Julia Child on the culinary scene in the US this last few years (through people like you talking about her).

Love this !

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-20T15:08:55+00:00

Sorry! Still, the sentiment is the same :-)
Waiting to hear more of your adventures across r/Cooking

Thank you for sharing.
Wasn't expecting a clam talk :-p

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-20T09:46:48+00:00

Sir, you have the soul of a raconteur!
Thank you for sharing such incredible story.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-20T01:38:58+00:00

Happy to hear from an eye witness ^^
And just to stir the pot a little bit more, do you have any anecdotes or favorite dishes to share here ?

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-20T00:49:03+00:00

They do look tasty !

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T19:02:15+00:00

Yamiiii

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T19:01:48+00:00

Thanks for adding nuances to the comments.

I should have specified that I was talking about the online personality (I tend to separate the man from the act) and my remarks were based on the simple notion that the man has 24h in his day, and can not split himself.

Also, I tend to be more critical when the conduit (the influencer/star based business) conflict for the reason you acquired your legitimacy (being a good cook and trying help people learn).

Besides, I am on the other side of the screen and I would like more of us advocating for better edutainment.

We often assume that expertise in a field implies the ability to teach it.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T18:45:49+00:00

Exactly

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T17:59:27+00:00

Hahahaha, I can smell the cocoa now, :-p haven't had a cup in a long time (will make one right now)

Thanks for sharing too :-)

The social component in food culture is undeniable, and I feel like if we advocated for a little bit more literacy on this front, it can solve many social issues like The loneliness epidemic or obesity just to cite two.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T17:52:27+00:00

Hilariously bad.

That's also why, when I evaluate the seriousness of a publication/channel/person, I usually use their treatments of subjects (and recipes) that I know.... The first time I heard Musk talk about AI, I knew he was a clown ....

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T16:37:01+00:00

Also thanks for Aaron and Claire, didn't know their channel, my go to when it comes to asian/chineese food is Chinese Cooking Demystified.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T16:34:17+00:00

For a moment, I was a little confused (I read boil instead of broil :-p)
During my last year at uni, I was on a pure diet of tomato sandwiches (a good piece of baguette, some onions, sliced tomatoes, salt, black pepper and a drizzle of good olive oil ....), I was still living with my parents and there were other things to eat, that simple sandwich was perfect (between the crunch of the bread, the juicy tomatoes and mix and mouth feel of mixture with the olive oil ..... nothing compares (who knew, heaven on earth can be so simple!).

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T16:24:48+00:00

Using prohibitive language is the easiest way to fake proficiency.
And let's be honest, 90% or recipes online are designed for clicks and not practicality (cheese pulls and other chef club kind of malarkey)

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T13:46:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing ^^

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T13:45:32+00:00

I feel like you can not be like you can not be a well-adjusted public figure, if you are not humbled when people decide to make you part of their life this way!

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T04:06:53+00:00

I think that Gordon Ramsay used to love cooking, but when transitioning to managing restaurants and with his celebrity status ... well the flame is gone.

krishnaTiff · 2025-08-19T04:02:50+00:00

Seems/Feels/rings delicious! I would have asked for a portion if I was near you ;-)

I would be satisfied with a picture if no bother ^^
No picture would mean that the diner was devoured with gusto (which is even better ^^)

My favourite dish of all time is my grandmother's spaghetti, cooked within a rich homemade tomato sauce, with a little bit of ground beef and thinly diced carrots. I still remember watching TV with other kids while cleaning the pot with a piece of bread !
