The contrast between their outfits and personalities are so perfect. It feels like two kids who randomly got paired for a school project. One wants to be as productive as possible and the other one wants to immediately start throwing glitter on a poster board. I love it. Please make more episodes with this duo!
A surprisingly accurate description
Which one is which?
To me, kendall was the kindergarten teacher and alvin was the curious but relatively quiet and well behaved toddler.
Absolutely Hermione and Ron energy
They're killing it man! I was bummed but happy for Andrew when he said he was taking a rest, but it's like instead we got a whole new and unique take on the Babish recipe for success. This has been great!
Alvin & Kendall are a surprisingly great team. Even though Andrew is back from his vacation, I hope we get more episodes with these two making food.
Hard agree
Surprised?
They really do have great chemistry together.
Yeah same
Alvin and Kendall sitting in a tree... B A K I N G...
I've never heard Steve's name before, but in the half second that he was shown I can tell he's just as chaotic as the rest of the crew. Excellent
He had the most hilarious GoT reaction videos ever
Seems like a great way to introduce a character.
This had both "school project vibes" and "children trying to impress parent vibe" and I want more of it.
i babish getting down to buiness. I here for cooking instructions not filler.
the 1000-yard stare from Alvin at, "you're explaining how ice is made" had me rolling.
I love how babish is a cameo in his own channel 😂
17:40 the way that Alvin almost said 'my child is now in you'- i'm wheezing
Love their dynamic, a nice balance of chaos and order, we need more basics with them!
There's probably a fanfic brewing already with these two 😅
Also really noticeable how more used Kendall is to being on screen. I remember how in her first appearances she was much more mousy
Alvin is so quick on his feet. “I got them hot hands”
Kendall:”No, you *don’t* want hot hands”
Alvin:”Oh… I got ice in my veins baby.”
Please have these two on more often
Edit* Wooo first comment to reach 1k likes. Thanks yall
I didn't know how perfect they are together!
Alvin: “This is not a baking competition!”
Me: *secretly wants Alvin and Kendall to do a baking competition, a la The Great British Baking Show* 😏🙏🏼
Alvin would need about 100 hours to make sure he got that dub though. His long duration desserts are amazing
The Great Babish Baking Show
Always weird to hear an American call it the Baking Show instead of the proper title Bake Off.
@@robertbrookes2000 I was just thinking that... I always feel a bit weird when its not the Great British Bake Off.... do you reckon Americans get as irritated by the missing raspberry as we do?
Just get Babish to narrate the whole thing impersonating Mary Berry
So I’m totally ready for Kendal and Alvin, the movie. Something in the road movie genre, traveling through Europe after they miss the Babbish bus in Rome and have to make it to a particular bakery in Paris for the next shoot, but they also lost all their money somehow. Wacky high jinx ensue.
What will their stands be I wonder?
They get a job on a ferry or train kitchen and chef/boss want them to stay.
@@psvradamlevine6215 Stand mixers.
@@Psykel I was making a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference my friend
@@psvradamlevine6215 Yes, and their stands are stand mixers.
I am glad that Andrew has returned, but Alvin and Kendall are fantastic teachers and cooking buddies, so i hope we will continue to see videos like this
Alvin's chemistry with literally anyone is insane
"I can't handle the stress, I really can't". At this point, I feel like I connect with Kendall on an emotional level.
Really enjoy the awkward but not too awkward energy they have together. Like 2 high school kids paired up in cooking class
i'm really liking the older responsible sister-daring younger brother that needs guidance teamwork here. really great team and i hope it becomes a permanent segment on the channel
8:00 Did you know that you wouldn't have to stretch the dough twist if you had measured the diameter of the dish and multiplied by... pi
Underrated
Kendall: I'm not afraid of anything.
Alvin: Why are you putting on gloves?
Kendall: Because I'm afraid.
Oh man that was a hilarious episode. I love Kendall & Alvin together (and actually every person on the team - you all have great chemistry on camera!!) Pie looked delicious too 🤤 (But what did Alvin do with his sacrificed pie crust??)
I love Alvin and really loved having Kendall join and host the video too. She did great and was calming to listen to!
Alvin and Kendall feel like when your teacher assigns your partner for a project and even though you're not from the same group of friends, you end up absolutely vibing and killing it.
Loved this! Kendall is so incredibly adorable and her sheer knowledge can be seen behind the awkwardness of being on camera! Alvin has a chaotic feel when paired with someone else, which can be entertaining as long as it can be steered.😅
Alvin and Kendall have such great on-screen chemistry. Loving their episodes - I hope we get to keep seeing them once in a while!
Alvin and Kendall have like a strong sibling energy.
We need more Kendall cooking
@@trevorkn7239 Fun fact: bots can't read, so replying to a bot does nothing besides leaving a link to the bot's channel in your reply.
@@Ish3r See my reply to @TrevorKn
Kendall has the best energy. Definitely would love to see more.
@@amontpetit same
@@trevorkn7239 should we just delete our replies?
Loving these videos with Alvin and Kendall, I hope they continue as a regular part of the BCU
I really hope Kendall and Alvin stay with the Babish team for a long time! Super happy to see them, and I love what they give to the channel; thanks for all you do, guys!
They're so cute together! And I love how Andrew is in the background watching. Then coming in at the end to taste the pie like a proud dad lol
I kept thinking the same thing.
Would love to see more from this pairing. They have such perfect on screen chemistry.
Also poor Steve
Just made this yesterday and it tastes great!!! Just a reminder for anyone trying to make it, use 1/8 tsp of cream of tarter PER egg white.
Andrew truly is a fan of Community. The timing is really like Dan Harmon's work.
Andrew has nothing to do with this video lol why would he edit his own videos when he has his own camera crew. Pretty sure he even said that Sawyer does the editing
@@Leto_0 What you said, totally reasonable, but to be fair to the OP Andrew must talk to his editor on creative direction of the video.
As a wise individual once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemon pie! Hey, I’m hungry!”
Or lemon poppyseed muffins, so tasty
Funnily enough, lemons were selectively bred (I believe from a sour orange and a citron, and the sour orange was bred from an orange and a pomelo) so life will literally never deliberately give you lemons. When life doesn't give you lemons, make them yourself😂
Demand to see life's manager
A wiser one said: "if life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequila"
@@pachangamarrana1 No, no. That's when life gives you LIMES. Easy mistake.
My grandpa used to call merengue “calf slobbers.” Didn’t change the fact that he loved lemon merengue pie. He also said he liked two kinds of pie: Hot and cold. RIP Grandpa, I miss you 🥰
When I first saw this wasn't going to be Babish, I was disappointed. Now, after watching these two, I'm like "Bubby who?" These kids need their own show. Love!
Yum I love pie
Andy being chaotic with the thermostat is hilarious
This is the most emotionally jarring saga with two of the most sweetest people in the world.
These past couple of weeks have proven that Andrew isn't Babish, we're *all* Babish.
...But mostly Kendall and Alvin.
I know I keep saying this, but love hearing the real time audio rather than the voiceover on these episodes. Kendall and Alvin are such a great pairing.
This collaboration was so amazing. Thoroughly entertaining. And for the record, Steve leaving was HILARIOUS. More videos of these two.
I met Alvin at a convention this weekend and got his autograph. He was a super nice guy!!
"We still have it on the TV..." "WHY?!"
alvin and kendall have me wheezing😭😭😭
I gotta say I love Kendall and Alvin working in the kitchen together. Her expertise and his character match up really nicely for some controlled chaos.
Great culinary master class! So beautiful and juicy, this pie launches desserts into another galaxy!
If you want to be 100% sure the dough won't get wet from the filling, you can give the dough an egg wash before putting it back into the oven a second time. This will also add more color to the dough, that can otherwise end up looking pale in comparison to the brown meringue.
I really like the energy Kendall and Alvin have while working together. I’d be interested in seeing more collaborations!
Lemon meringue pie turned into my quarantine project. I made 35 LMPs in 2021. Great video. FYI - you don't need the plastic wrap - what you do is just shake the custard while it's chilling a few times to smooth it out. I started with plastic wrap but the shake method works just as well.
Quick pro tip if anyone watching wants to make this pie: when making a crust like this, you can actually grate the butter before hand with a cheese grater. This gives you super small pieces and allows you to keep the butter super cold while ingot paying it in your flour. It also just cuts down on time
This video is adorable. Smiling the whole time
More of this wonder duo please 🙏
I love the chemistry between the two :)
They make a fun team!
I hope we get more of this(even though Andrew is back)
The combo of personalities and editing was 10/10 for this vid
Kendall is honestly the relatable character we needed in the BCU
The Babish universe is the best universe there is. It's the most wholesome show of any I've seen. We love you guys so much!!
This was the most charming thing ever. I love these two together.
YESSSSS we got another Kendalvin episode!!! 🤩 I could watch a 100 of these episodes. Their energy on the screen is amazing.
When the pie hits your eye
And the pie tastes so fly
That's amore
This level of awkwardness resonates with me, I need more of Kendal and Alvin together!
The random moments plus the music gives this a really Bob Ross feel
I love the dynamic between the two
“I want to eat it”
“don’t though”
“I kinda do”
“But don’t”
“But don’t”
“Yeah”
I almost didn't watch this, because I've never had better lemon meringue pie than my Mom's homemade lemon meringue pie; I haven't watched one single video about lemon meringue pie since my Mom passed in 2019 because I knew nobody could perfect it. At least that's my opinion, but today I decided to watch this wonderful video.
Please, the people have spoken. More Alvin and Kendall together!
Kendall and Alvin are a duo we need to see more of. They have such a fun on screen chemistry. I laughed a lot during this vid and it makes me want to make a pie
The switch between live audio and dubbed audio throws me every time. I'm like, wow, their mouths aren't even MOVING. Truly warlocks
I cannot express how much I love this duo
The chemistry between Alvin and Kendall is perfect!
This was amazing! Please give us more “Basic” Kendall & Alvin 🎉
They are hilarious together. I love this.
Kendall and Alvin: the GOAT combo
I hope episodes with Alvin & Kendall become a regular thing! Love your dynamic :)
They're both great on their own but their chemistry here was better than it needed to be. Great video!
12:09 Kendall: We can let that chillax
Alvin: Reaching for the whisk.
Love Alvin & Kendall! Their different vibes came together well!
That was great I’d love to see more segments like this with Kendall and Alvin👍
I love their chemistry together on screen. more please!
This was wonderfully delightful, slightly chaotic, and I look forward to more K&A content.
We absolutely need more of these videos, please!!!
What s wonderful episode. I love the chemistry of Alvin and Kendall. I'd love to see more.
I love Kendall's explanation of cooking concepts!
This is so great! I love the full universe we have here! Thanks to the whole team!
Ah yes, the team of 'Kendall and Smiley". Love the work you all do!
Absolutely adore this duo! They’re great 😌
I love them so much, Alvin has this sweet dorky funny energy, and Kendall has the best laugh + all the knowledge
The prettiest lemon meringue pie I've ever seen. Learned a new way to prep meringue and torch it the right way!
I love how babish is like a proud parent eating the pie
Alvin and Kendall are such an endearing cooking team to watch. I know andrew is back but I hope we still see them cooking together every now and then Dx
The dynamic duo I didn’t know I needed.
The vibe between them is funny 😁 😂 😀
The vibes are top notch in this vid.
Your guy's chemistry is great this video had me smiling and laughing the whole time
That was a friendship pie. I loved this. Both of you are treasures.
loving the spontaneous and slightly slapstick aproach! Altho kendall has been a force behind the scenes a lot i do hope we get to se more of her team-up energy on screen in the future :)
Alvin & Kendall make such a cute couple!
I loved everything about this.
More Alvin + Kendall and generally more Kendall! Love them both and videos like this
We definitely need more episodes like this one!
2:02 i had to rewatch this so many times, the way he’s so confused😭😭😭
Alvin and Kendall have incredible chemistry as hosts, it was delightful to watch
I loved this duo.
This was my favorite babish video in all the years I've watched
DREAM TEAM! love them both
i LOVE this dynamic duo!! also RIP to steve ahahahah
Glad that they did lemon meringue pie: it’s always been my favorite-next to key lime pie-and I’ve always wanted to know how to make it.
Question for the internet, with a little bit of lead in: I frequently find that lemon pies/bars/cookies don't really have enough lemony-ness to them for my tastes, so would adding lemon zest kick that up to acceptable levels?
Put some lemon extract in your merengue while it's whipping up.
Lemon zest might work. You can also add some more lemon juice or a little bit of lemon extract.
Lemon zest (or lemon extract) is the trick. Lemon juice itself looses its "lemon-y-ness" when it's cooked.
I personally don't love the taste of citrus juices. I like them fine, but I don't adore them. Citrus zests, on the other hands, have OILS which taste so much better than the juices, in my opinion. So I'm always a fan of adding citrus zest. But if you want the tart lemony-ness, you're probably better off adding more lemon juice.
It *might* but citrus fruits notoriously lose flavor when heated
