What’s more fun than making fried empanadas? Making fried empanadas with a friend!
Its nice seeing u both again together in a vid.
More collab please.
The crimping! You are left handed, so you should mirror Gabbys technique 🤓
You got the 'Empanada Queen" badge of approval. Winner!
i loved this episode! i think this could be a whole new segment of your channel - just cooking/baking with friends “off script”! it’s so much fun.
As the official last person to the Clair Saffitz fan club, I like how you have commandeered the means of production.
The reunion we all needed during these hard times.
Frfr. Gabby is my spirit animal
Imagine her and Brad... Oh it would be to die for!
Totally!!
@@lg3988 THAT ist the reunion we NEEEEEED
idk about reunion w brad, he's still working for ba; i guess they are still friends-ish but i dont think they will make a public appearence :/
At the end, during the Pucho cam, Gaby's talking to her dog in Spanish, she's saying "Pucho you have to stay still. Get ready for the picture, COMB YOUR HAIR, you're gonna be starring in a video and you're going to become very famous" love her 🥺💕
Pucho is the famous person we need.
Thanks
Yawn...
Awww
@@diegoiunou boy why are you here? Take a hike
So I love how supportive Gaby is being and also can we take a moment to appreciate Claire's listening skills and respect for Gaby's knowledge? Love it. Need more of this content.
BA was sitting on magic and boy did they fuck it up, hahahaha.
I feel bad for the folks that got screwed. But! I'm hoping they all continue doing great things and I find them!
I always felt like she was the BA mom- encouraging, helpful, smart, and caring.
Should’ve been Gaby’s show with Claire as a guest.
I love it. Claire’s like “gaby wait, can you walk me through as I do this one more time..”
two over-the-top incredibly talented people... who all the while remain teachable and humble and supportive.
yeah. that's human 101
The moment when Gaby said the crimping is very personal to every person made me realize that any kind of dumpling shape in any cuisine truly has the same thing. My mom and my grandma both crimp pierogi closed in different ways, and watching Claire and Gaby do them is so nostalgic.
Oh. I thought it was Yaby.
We do a kind of Cantonese version of mini (2.5 inch diameter) fried empanadas here in Hong Kong (also in southern china i think) for Lunar New Year. My whole family works on it every year. My 3 aunts and 2 cousins and grandma along with myself all do the crimping and filling. The shape and the fillings are all different for each person, to a point that we can recognise who done which XDDD
@@natheniel this is so cool and charming
Definitely! I make gyoza pretty often at the house and mine look way different than the woman who taught me. And my husband’s are crazy lolol but it’s so fun as long as they’re closed its cool 😎
Yeah! Isn't that so cool? My mum and dad fold dumplings in different ways, and I never got the hang of either, so I just kept doing it the cutesy kid way my dad's mom taught me when I was little. When we make dumplings together, we end up with three different kinds xD
It’s like the avengers are getting back together👏
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE *cue avengers theme song*
Nailed it😂♥️♥️♥️
I only watched the MCU in the past month (making the most of lockdown no. 3) and now I see references everywhere! I don’t know if they were always there and I just didn’t notice them or if there’s been a resurgence of love for them, but it’s nice to feel I didn’t miss the hype party after being so late to the party
Sohla and Carla got together and Sohla and Priya in different videos. So yes, I think you're right!
This is like the Disney Plus series that come after the Avengers movies.
Ordering delivery because you're busy recording your cooking show is a power move.
Gabby saying "hi Vinny!" and him replying "hiii Gabyyy" was the sweetest thing ever :)
💚
"hi vinny!"
"hi gaby!"
🥺🥺 that was such a cute moment oh my god
GABEH!
It is Vinny? Awesome!
It's the little things like that that really make the cutest moments.
wait when did this happen!
@@sth5033 19:55 !
I feel like someone will eventually make a compilation of claire trying to find a place to put her food in the fridge.
and searching through drawers
Her fridge is food jenga! But good advertisement for it, it hold a lot!!!
i’ll do it
Gaby saying everyone crimps differently. Claire: "Well, that's nice of you to say." I felt that in my soul.
Hearing Gaby say "oh my God Claire, I love it" once again was what I needed today. Love these two!
Can you freeze the dough for later once you've made enough for one meal.
The was Gaby is giving instructions but "skipping" all the small things is SO FUCKING REAL. My grandmother does the same stuff
LMAO same with my mother's dumpling folding. She's like 'just do this!' and im like wHAT IS "this"??!?!
"Fold in the cheese"
@@zid902002 i don't know how to fold broken cheese like that!
@@zid902002 lol
@@zid902002 lol
Gabby getting kicked off the zoom because claire doesn’t have a business account was really funny omg
omg yes, lmao, quite relatable in our corona times
Spoilers 😂
the quarantine struggles 😂
Omg don’t put spoilers but also what did i expect coming into comments
@@peptobismolveins This is a cooking show.
“Get your filling out”
“I feel like I’m not nailing this”
No, Claire, fillings, not feelings
💚
The look that Claire gave when Gaby said “see thru” was priceless!
I love how you can always tell you’re in or looking in a chef’s kitchen with all their gadgets. That being said, I hate seeing what my cooking arsenal is lacking.
A lot of the gadgets are kind of extra - handy, but not necessary. A bowl/dough scraper is amazing for baking though. I like how Gaby uses a tea strainer for a dusting spoon. Multi-use tools are where it's at.
I clicked immediately seeing Gaby
Same here! Gaby!!!
Me too ooooo!!!!!!!!
Same!
Waiting for the collab with Brad again D:
Gaby is the best!
When again said ‘tell me about your fillings’ I thought she said ‘feelings’ and honestly I need that
Tell me about your feelings, Phoebe. How are you?
This is the chaotic cooking that I've been missing from Claire! I want more of this content I laughed so much during this video! Also, I missed seeing the collaborations with the BA chefs. This is so pure and so good.
I miss the test kitchen peeps all being together. 2020 took a lot away from us 😓
I love that gabby has a pair of bananas hanging up with her pots and utensils
I love how she’s trying to keep it a surprise who this special guest is, while it’s already super obvious that it’s Gaby
For one, Gaby is in the thumbnail. 😂 Bless Claire.
😂
@@mineola_ and the title
I am here for this Collab! I missed you guys together 💙🥺
Claire: I think I got it.
Claire 3 seconds later: I don't got it.
Mood.
Reminds me of gourmet makes.
That moment Claire suddenly went from full control to flailing in a panic to keep up with Gaby gave me such life! I don't know why but it just did.
i would die for gabby from the gabby’s home kitchen
She has her own channel, Instagram and newsletter! I recommend checking her out :D
Gabby's channel is here: czcams.com/channels/ZJsnAdnDr3TaHWfwoSBkXw.html :)
@@ChuckD99 I didn't know she was on here! Subscribed. I'm so happy that our Test Kitchen folks seem to be landing on their feet.
This was so nice and nostalgic. Feels like an eternity ago when sh*t hit the fan (both in terms of pandemic and the mass exodus from BA).
Yeah my first couple months of quarantine was just watching BA all day so I felt like I had human interaction. I'm so SO glad Sohla spoke up and that so many left, but it definitely hit harder than it would have any other time/year.
"it's fried food, you can't screw it up!" I love Gaby, she's always so positive and encouraging.
Gaby being so positive with her feedback on Claire’s first attempt at crimping 🥺 i miss her energy
“Use your hand or a good wooden spoon”
*cuts to Claire using a bench scraper*
To Claire, everything is bench scraper.
No that's a bowl scraper. Bowl scrapers are flexible and have a curved edge, bench scrapers are rigid and have a handle along one edge.
@@KevinSmithGeo well that maybe be true but the differences are so minute that im willing to let it slide
Kevin Smith
If I can use it to scrape someone off a bench, it's a bench scraper
I get the feeling that Claire already knew how to do this, but wanted to support Gaby by having her teach her on her thriving channel.
"I think I got it!"
"No, I don't got it."
Well, if that's not me in life.
This episode had chaotic energy, I felt Claire was having gourmet makes flashbacks
Finally, a cooking video that's on my level.
The face Claire made when Gaby told her her empanada was perfect and she’s just like, well, you’re very kind.... i love her. It was great watching her being her, just having fun cooking with a good friend
I also love every culture’s variation on “fried dough surrounding delicious filling”
You just gotta put delicious things in dough and cook it! It’s the one thing the whole world agrees on
“I feel like I’m not nailing this.”
hi vinny
Wait, is that Vinny ?? Oh man!
VINNY??? THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND
Virgo energy lol
Vinny Bo Binny!
It's really fun to see Claire flustered. It reminds me that she's one of us, too, not just some god-like celebrity chef.
Claire’s reactions are insanely relatable. The whole time I’m watching and when she’s like “water? I’ll get that later” I’m going “oh I’m glad I’m not the only one who goes into something without reading the whole recipe before hand”
Gaby: "Use your hands or a wooden spoon!"
Claire: *continues using her bowl scraper*
😂😂😂
"when you call back, i want at least a hundred empanadas"
is gaby my mom??
“a little butter and by a little butter I probably mean a lot of butter.” lol I never used as much butter as I now have while baking. like, I _actually_ have butter in my freezer now
Dude, same! I used to have a stick of butter forever, then I started baking and they just fly by! I even have opinions on brands lol
@@kjb8356 ikr? my mom loves my cooking, so she bought 20 pounds (10kg) of butter a year ago, we had to keep it in the freezer mostly, lol
@@kjb8356 I was the same! now I gotta remind people to not touch my kerrygold when I know I’m gonna need it to bake lol
@@ElizabethGonzalez-tj8gl My housemate almost used my Kerry gold to butter some toast and I actually slapped it out of her hand, like no that’s baking butter we have cheap general brand for a reason
@@johannac9564 😆 valid though
i always love that gorgeous NYC view out the window: a brick wall
I love when the editing just CAME ON when Gabby said: "you want the dough to be see through" and Claire's just like: OoO
"I'm gonna send you a new zoom link cause we're gonna get kicked off."
The bane of all zoom users. That stupid time limit!
One of many reasons I prefer Jitsi.
When my old college roommates and I zoom, they're always like "elleeeeennnnnn" cuz I have my teaching license account thru school that has no time limit. 😅
But you don't need a new zoom link.
Just change the timing and date and send it again! 🙈🙈
You can just reuse the same link. Yes 🤯
Just use discord
"Real TV" is much better than heavily edited and scripted. Feels like they're right in my kitchen with me :)
This was so joyful! I love Claire (as a Missouri girl myself) and I’ll watch 30 minutes a week of her making space in her fridge if that’s what’s on offer, but I do miss her interaction with the regular guest stars from the test kitchen. So it is MARVELOUS to have Gaby here for this!
As a left-handed person who has struggled all my life learning manual fine-motor tasks from right handed people (my grandmother teaching 8-year-old me to crochet is a pivotal and cherished memory), I was watching this and coaching Claire, muttering repeatedly, louder and louder, “fold the opposite direction” building to a crescendo “you have to do it BACKWARDS, Claire, fold the opposite direction!” She got it in the end and they looked beautiful, but I felt that struggle.
Claire shoud trademark "Where am I gonna put this?" when she opens her home fridge
"you could fry a sock and i would still eat it." same gaby, same.
Oh, “sock”! I went back over that a couple of times. Even the closed captions didn’t get it...
“So, I’m not measuring”
Literally 30 seconds later...
“That’s probably 2 tablespoons”
Just Claire being Claire 😆
I mean, she's not wrong. There was no use of measurement tools, ergo no measuring. She just knows her volumes by eye.
I love that she actually had a zoom call with a latin woman to learn this, WE LOVE YOU CLAIRE🤧💗💗💗
Also Gaby reminded me sooo much of my abuelita and I'm low key impressed that she could teach a receipe, most abuelitas I know mostly just follow their gut and experience so it's kind of hard to explain how things are done like "Ay mija put some of this a bit of that do this and voila"😂
"I just remembered you are left handed!" - I resonated with that on a soul level!
pls this brings so much joy, claire and gaby reunited at last
Have you all spotted a tiny croquembouche ornament on the cabinet handle above the sink?!?! So cute
What a lovely story about Gaby folding empanadas the way her grandmother did
The amount of peace I get when that the dessert person theme starts is crazy
OMG am I seriously getting emotional watching two people I really like but have never met making empanadas together over zoom?
Yes. Yes I am.
OMFG ME TOO i felt like i was about to cry 😂 they’re so pure and sweet
@@dominiquebuchanan828 🤗🤗🤗🤗
24:58 "peinate para la foto que vas a ser muy famoso" PUCHO IS SO CUTEEEEEEE!!!
When she said "I'm feeling pretty good" it gave me mad Gourmet Makes feelings.
OMG FINALLY!!!! I missed Gaby and Claire together so much ❤️
THIS IS LIKE WHEN THEY HAD ALL THE DISNEY CHANNEL STARS IN THE TIPTON HOTEL, IM SO HAPPY
I feel like cartoon Claire at the beginning needs a show too. Lol
Yesss I would love that. Hahaha
Yes! I love cartoon Felix!
Is it just me that's reminded of Bee and Puppycat during the intro?
This was such a cool episode! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore all the other dessert person episodes as well, but if you'd be up for it I'd totally love to watch more of these types of videos as well :)
Idea: get a Zoom sponsorship for the show, and they'll give everyone on your team a business account and you can get that sweet sponsorship coin!! And you could have other test kitchen friends guest!
If 2021 starts 2020-ing, I will come back to this video and reminisce.
When
"2020-ing"... i'm gonna steal that
The chaotic energy when Gaby joins in is what I needed.
Gaby's excitement when Claire nailed the folding technique is just delightful!
I didn’t realize how much I missed Gaby’s amazing soul until this video. The world needs more Gabys in all of our lives.
“I remembered you were left handed” 🥺❤️
I would love a vid of just how she makes her vanilla extract, I wanna have my own huge jar!
It's actually pretty easy. Put vanilla beans in a jar with either brandy or vodka, and let it hang out. I've seen in her videos, when she scrapes out a vanilla bean for a recipe, she'll put the rest of the bean in the jar.
Claire uses vodka with vanilla beans to make hers!
@@beth8775 Bourbon is traditional.
@@beth8775 I find that I like white rum for mine - one of the nice things about making your own, you can personalize it. I use Madagascar vanilla, which tends toward the more robust, so the rum tends to carry that potency over that I like so much. great stuff, and the longer it sits, the better it gets (looks at my liter of 2 year old) I just make it right in the bottle, too. just open it, pour myself a shot for later, then take about 10 beans and right into the bottle, close it up, stick it into the dark cabinet. shake it every day for a week or two, then ignore it for a couple months minimum (soonest I've ever used mine has been 3 months) and once you finish the bottle, pull out the beans, put them into another bottle, with some fresh beans as well.
@@pegs9951 شي
Seeing Gabby and Clair back together fills my heart with so much happiness!! ❤️🤗
that intense concentration from claire while gaby just flies through all the steps
such organised chaos
Claire not having Zoom premium or whatever its called is wild lmao. Love you Gaby
Why wouldn’t they just use Skype? Video conferences are free and unlimited. Maybe they’ll explore other options to Zoom before more episodes are released. Gaby rocks, I fully agree.
oh my god they're so iconic together
I think that this video grasps what I love the most about cooking. For me cooking is social activity, even if someone just comes to the kitchen to ask what I'm making it already gives us so much space to open a conversation. And learning how to cook? Even more amazing. It's someone showing us how they fulfill one of their most basic needs. And the shared stories that so often come with those dishes, I love them dearly.
Oh my gosh I'm so happy this collab happened!!! Love Gaby and Claire!
Gaby!! What a lovely surprise!!
"When you call me back I want at least 100 empanadas."
Damn, Gaby is a demanding teacher! 😂😂😂
" ooooo these babies look NICE!!!!!!" Gaby is the best.
Gaby: Hi Vinny!
Vinny: Hi Gabyyy!
This warms my heart
Let's support Gaby's channel, too!!! 🥰
“I think I got it, I think I got it....I don’t got it.”
literally me with everything ever
It's nice seeing the old BA crew reunite in these kinds of videos, it genuinely makes my day
This slapped a smile across my face!!! :D def gonna try these empanadas
Gaby is so supportive! OMG she has her own channel! It's in the description!!!!!
Claire, Gabby AND Vinny??? YAAS!
Claire, as a latinx person, I give you the pespunte princess title! Way to go!
Vinny is the director and producer of the entire channel!!!! Every vid ☺️🥺
I get the sense that people bringing their culture to America cook with *so much love.* We see it here with Gaby, who does everything with all the love in her heart anyway, and like those old Italian grandmothers making pasta for the entire neighborhood and just openening the door and letting folks wander in. My friend’s mother grew up in Romania and would always have so much food on the table ready for us when I came over. Didn’t matter if it was 3 pm or 9 pm.
omg!! claire and gaby together again! even if it's just through zoom!! my heart!!!
When Claire lost the cutters I felt like Gaby needed to help her find them LOL
We NEED as many collabs as possible!!!!
Yes! Carla & Molly did a snack-making collab on IGTV... super fun to watch!
Thank you! I NEEDED more Gaby in my life. Please don't let this be the last time we see her.
I am so happy to see Gaby here teaching how to fold empanadas! I've been following her on CZcams since she started. And seeing the two of you together cooking does my heart much good! Pucho es muy famoso!
Listening to Gaby’s voice explaining a recipe soothes my soul 💕
Claire freaking out was about as close as we’ve seen to OG Claire from Gourmet Makes
this was adorable, and suuuuuper satisfying to see claire stress out again. I know that's awful but it brings me joy. love you gab
Not me tearing up every time Gaby would enthusiastically praise Claire’s crimping technique 😅
I miss this dynamic so much, ahh I love it fr!
Looking forward to even more content outside of Dessert Person ^^
the "hi vinny!" "hi gaby!" single handedly made my week
the two queens!!! this makes me so so happy!
this is such a great episode. Watching Clair trying to learn a recipe from a video - even if it is real time - is so relatable right down to trying to find a spot in the fridge.
twisting the edges of the empanadas easier said than done. how sweet you both are. Claire and Gaby🤗
This should be a series called: First time cook with Friends!
"I'm not measuring--"
*panic intensifies*
Gabby and Claire need to have a show together just the two of them. I can’t ever get enough of both!! Amazing women right there!!
Now Claire knows how we feel trying to keep up with her baking instructions! :)
