Haven't seen Christina in forever! Glad to see her again

I never comment but BA needs to know this is the first video I've watched in ages, and ONLY because I saw Christina and she deserves my support <3

[deprofundis]

Yay! So glad to see Christina again. I knew she was still with the magazine but was worried I'd never see her on camera again. (They'd better be paying her for this, btw...but I think they finally know better than that now.)

Made this for dinner this evening and added some apple to it after it was done cooking. It was very nostalgic - 17 years ago we had a Japanese exchange student stay with us and they made us something very similar that we’ve never been able to replicate on our own - this is the closest we’ve come.

Thank you. 💕💕💕

Feel vaguely guilty about watching this since I've not watched BA since everything went down, but Christina Chaey is such a good presenter I couldn't resist. As long as she's getting paid for this.

More Christina please!! Also just a big fan of Japanese curry so this was nice to watch

[crazyfutureradio]

Not that it matters, but have the cutlet rest against the rice at an angle first then pour the curry over it. Presentation is nicer and the submerged half of the cutlet soaks up that delicious curry flavor. Thinly sliced cabbage with a drizzle of sesame dressing goes amazing with this too!

The "additives are bad" thing is really disingenuous, especially the ones that were listed. MSG and disodium guanylate are both glutamates, and disodium inosinate is an inosinic acid, all of which contribute to umami flavours. Malic acid is similar to citric acid, which makes food slightly tangy. Most of these are naturally occurring too. The crystals in parmesan are MSG. Disodium guanylate is found in fish and mushrooms. Malic acid is found in fruit like apples and pears.

Just because you don't know what something is doesn't make it bad for you.

I love Christina: she needs to be highlighted more! This looks amazing and perfect for winter.

[Cyrribrae]

Woah Christina!! I checked the date just to make sure o.o

"6 minutes ago" XD

[BloodyMuffinx]

Loooove Christina's vibe and knowledge! Hope to see her in more videos soon.

Good to see Christina back on BA. I always really appreciate her attitude and input, and the recipes she does are always awesome.

[Frmjoandcharlie]

Have missed Christina!! So happy to see her back cooking deliciousness 😊.

[roisinm]

Love that mushroom browning tip, had no idea salt would affect that!! More Christina videos!!

[BaraShiro]

So happy to see Christina again, more with her please!

[TheMaster]

Had to do a double take, because i thought this was an old vid. Turns out it's new as heck! Go Christina!

[katepeers]

Oh I missed Christina Chaey! Please pay her more for more videos

[twokmg]

Super happy to see Christina back! Haven't watched BA in a while for the obvious reasons, I think additional transparency would really help bring people back to this channel. The few videos I have watched since everything became public have seem off. I wish the best for everyone who is at BA and hope it has truly changed for the better, would love to see the energy and enthusiasm we used to.
Nonetheless... very very happy to see Christina again

[countrycoffeehouse]

Christina?! I'm confused. I thought she left. My goodness. Such a breath of fresh air to see her. It'd be so amazing to see the rest of the old team back together. Here's to hoping.

[yawnkun]

Im glad Christina got promoted already. She deserves it. Another promotion, in fact is in order.
