    OMG!! The first dill soup is like the basic Finnish Salmon soup without the salmon. If you cook that soup with fish stock and add white pepper and small cubes of raw salmon at the end of the cooking, before the cream (add a lot more than couple of spoonful, like a cup of it), you'll get salmon soup.

We call ramson 韭菜 (jîu cài) and always go picking it with my parents in the spring, as it grows near little streams near out house. I always thought it was called wild garlic/ chives and didnt know it had another english name. We normally use it in dumplinga or stir fry it with eggs or meat and it's one of my favourite vegetables!

      Ich bin keine Deutsche, habe aber von der Soße gehört und diese selbst auch einige Male zubereitet. Aber vielleicht zählt das nicht, denn ich interessiere mich für Kräuter, koche sehr gerne und lerne gerne über unterschiedliche Küchen der Welt, bin einige Male in Deutschland gewesen und habe Deutsch studiert, also bin eher kein durchschnittlicher Ausländer, der niemals von der Grie Soß gehört hat.
      Übrigens, die CZcamsr aus meinem Land, die Videos zum Thema Kräuter / Wildpflanzen machen, erwähnen diese Soße auch, sogar mit dem Rezept, Hintergrund / Bedeutung (Heilwirkung, Anzahl der Kräuter, Variationen usw.) etc., das mag aber daran liegen, dass wir an Deutschland grenzen. Dasselbe kann ich auch von der Gründonnerstags- bzw. 9-Kräuter-Suppe sagen. Wir haben diese Tradition nicht, aber unsere CZcamsr erzählen davon viel und informieren, dass es um Deutschland geht. Ich schaue mir übrigens diese CZcamsr nicht mal (da ich meistens YT in Deutsch oder Englisch gucke), weiß davon von meiner Familie. Und wir leben ziemlich weit von der deutschen Grenze, meine Familie ist an die deutsche Kultur etc. an sich nicht besonders interessiert, also es wurzelt nicht in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Deutschland, wir wohnen nicht nah genug, um spontan einen Ausflug nach Deutschland planen oder so.

    Hi Beryl. Regarding ramsons (wild garlic, in German „Bärlauch“ or „Bearleek“ directly translated back to english again 😉) we have the same situation here in Germany. In spring, the stuff grows everywhere in large quantities. Even our garden is half full of wild garlic during that time. There’s so much of it that even if we make pesto out of it … we wouldn’t have the space to store it all. So … come over in spring and stock up on wild garlic … completely free. 😀

    I love Karulaugupesto (or Bärlauchpesto as we call it in swiss german). We usually make a family event out of it when it's Bärlauch-season (other than pesto we also often make gnocchi or ravioli with it). Personally I love adding some lemon juice and peel to the pesto for that extra kick of freshnes.

    These all looked fantastic. I'm so curious about each and every one of them. Thank you, as always, for your hard work and generosity.
    Regarding the cookies recipe - almost all cookie recipes start out with "Cream the butter and sugar together till lighter in color and creamy." This means mixing (with a wooden spoon) the butter and sugar until you've got the texture of cream. In other words, you want the sugar crystals to combine with the butter, dissolving away, and this is done with mechanical force (as opposed to heating the ingredients). You don't want to use your hands because now you're introducing heat. You want the sugar crystals to dissolve using mechanical force but not either ingredient to dissolve due to the introduction of heat.
    When you use your hand-mixer, put the beaters perpendicular to the base of the bowl, not angled. Simply keep your beaters perpendicular to the countertop/base of the bowl and as the beaters spin, the food will be flung around inside the bowl, instead of being able to escape.
    And use a wooden spoon because wooden spoons are able to "mash" the sugar crystals, making that cream texture you're going for. Incidentally, you'll know your sugar-butter mixture is done when the mixture lightens in color and you cannot feel any crystals as you press the spoon against the bowl (or a dab of the mix between your finger and thumb); the graininess will be gone, as the crystals are now dissolved.
    I highly recommend the CZcamsr @BenjaminTheBaker. His shorts are so good at teaching all the ins and outs of what makes a crispy cookie versus a chewy cookie, or why cookies spread versus don't spread while baking, or how to get the perfect cream puff dough, or how to get a cheesecake without the annoying split on top, on and on with all things baking. I've learned oodles and oodles from him; he's such a good teacher.
    I know this is long! Your sweatshirt did, however, say to "read more books." 🤣

    Ramps or ramson are a different species in North America and than in Europe! Europe has _Allium ursinum_ , while ramps in North America is _A. tricoccum_ . As far as I know, they're culinarily interchangeable (I've never had either, but I've been aware of them for years), but the North American species was long used for both food and medicine by Indigenous Americans, and - trivia for you - it's also the namesake of the city of Chicago, through a French rendering of the Miami-Illinois word for the plant.

    Pesto from ramson (Bärlauch) has also become an indispensable part of German cuisine since the 90s, but most of us have probably no idea that we share that with Estonia.

    When I saw your callout for this, I had high hopes that someone would include what I now know as kuku sabzi.

    Oooh, Beryl, you're gonna love the Frankfurter Grüne Soße/Frankfurt Green Sauce. It's made traditionally with seven different herbs finely chopped or blitzed into a yoghurt based sauce, served cold over hot peeled firmly cooking potatoes, alongside hardboiled eggs, sliced in half.
    The seven herbs in German are Pimpinelle, Petersilie, Kresse, Schnittlauch, Borretsch, Sauerampfer, and Kerbel. Unfortunately my cooking vocabulary sucks, so I will have to rely on google translate for several of those herbs. Pimpinelle = burnet or garden burnet,
    Petersilie = parsley
    Kresse = cress
    Schnittlauch = chives
    Borretsch = borage
    Sauerampfer = Sorel
    Kerbel = chervil
    I hope these are correct. Maybe you can find a proficient German speaker and chef to verify those translations.
    Of each those herbs you will need 50 grams each, which is quite a lot. But it's not absolutely necessary to be exact. Blitz them together with 250 grams of a firm natural yoghurt plus 250 grams of sour cream, plus a tablespoon of mustard, plus pepper and salt to taste.
    Hardboil 4-6 eggs, depending on size and taste. Peel and chop 2-3 eggs and carefully mix them into the sauce. Serve the others sliced in half as a side. The sauce is NOT cooked or served warm.
    Best served with firmly cooking potatoes, peeled, hot. Mush on the plate as desired. Salt and pepper to taste at the table.
    Deviating from the traditional recipe my family loved a good sprinkle of mixed caramelized onions and baccon cubes as a garnish on top. The baccon should be crunchy, the onions slightly jammy-brown.
    Enjoy.

    Persians definitely know how to make good use of herbs in stews and other dishes (e.g. sabzi polo, kookoo sabzi, etc etc). Fresh herbs like parsley and basil are also served alongside Persian dishes.
    One dish that isn't usually considered an herb dish (I think) is tabbouli. Thats a Middle Eastern salad with parsley as the star ingredient. One of my faves!
    Would love to see mint leaves in an herb dish featured on this channel!

    Maybe you can do an episode about different fried breads from around the world. lots of countries have different versions of it and also have it with different fillings. in Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana &, Namibia for instance) where we are from, it is called by different names, amongst others amagwinya, or vetkoek (fat cake) and is usually had with curried ground beef. But in Tunisia where we currently live, their version is called fricassee, and they have it with potato, boiled egg, salad and tuna. I am sure there are many other amazing versions out there.

    As a German living next to lots of forrests with a grandpa, who was what you would maybe call a ranger, I grew up with collecting ramson, mushrooms, Preiselbeeren(like your cranberries, but smaller and wild), wild strawberries and blackberries and woodruff.

    Béryl, thyme is delicious in beef stews too, especially variations of beef with red wine. It can be also be added to New England style clam chowders.
    BTW, corn meal is also delicious in waffles and substituted about 25 % in pie doughs for pot pies particularly for chicken.
