If you're new here, I'm also around elsewhere!

if I were a type of bread, what bread would I be though?? do tell.

[nowkohnaoko]

I actually think a video about how you use the leftovers would be interesting. I know ✨I'm✨ cooking for one but not necessarily cooking from scratch/new every day and struggle with thinking of new ways to use my food. Leftovers Lam Style is a series I'd watch (and would be a good way to stretch the content!)

[neilrischl]

Inga can you please do a comparison video of French, Korean, and Japanese pastries?

[samanthawauthier-paspuleti]

Inga, absolutely loved your discussion of 'third spaces' in Paris! Thank you for sharing your life experiences, a real treat.

[nemodan]

Love how you mentioned that while you do feel very fulfilled, there are moments and days where you don't necessarily always feel like that. It feels a bit more normalizing the fact that working towards the things we want isn't the glamorous story social media likes to tell all the time - and I appreciate that down-to-earthness and genuine sharing w us. :)

I live in Lyon, and we often see Paris as being a very fast paced city with often cold people and a ''meh'' public transportation. But seeing foreigners talk about it puts things into a more nuanced perspective.

[yehyunsong]

Honestly, out of all the youtube/online chefs, I would genuinely buy a cookbook from you!

[forever_stay]

I love the new format you've been trying out like with the pasta recipe videos! As a college student who just started learning how to cook on my own, I think these "trying out ___ food hacks" videos are such a great resource for me because it helps me discover new recipes to try that are very simple to make! What ideas do you have for this series in the future? I'd love to see one about eggs or even rice... 👀

[Fgurs]

that cost is honestly way less than i thought it'd be!!! an incredible investment that'll last forever

[kellywong]

You answered my question!!🥰 Love you and Love this channel!!

[Mads_DeKay]

The best spread for bread is definitely tooth butter (Danish for butter spread thick enough to leave tooth marks) 😊

[Lafalot]

I miss france and the bread there. Especially the baguette sandwiches. I'm so happy you got to go and take a bread course there. And I can't wait to see what you have for us this year

[LGlikespurple]

YESSSS to the cookbook! I would love that!

[ilepcro]

I'm so happy you enjoyed my city so much! Looking forward to your future culinary adventures!

[shahinmarshall]

To any of my quebecois what do you think of the French comparison to quebec French versus France French 🇫🇷 🇨🇦❤? Interesting topic love your videos as always inga!

[katies]

Loved learning more about your Paris experience. Please please please do some bread recipe videos of things you learnt

[brookechang]

I love the "ciabatta/soggy baguette" question, purely for how it offended both the French and the Italians at the same time. 😂

[harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Glad you had such a wonderful experience, Inga.

[HungryBaozi]

It's good to see you bright and happy :)
I wonder, how do you keep socializing, personally and professionally, while working with content creation?

[jesiahlouisv.licardo]

instead of a cookbook i think a book of technique or balancing flavors would be really cool !
