What i love about Andy he doesn't make you feel like if you don't have a lot or spend a lot means you're not good enough. On the contrary, he encourages us to try things with what we can get, and get excited about trying new stuff.

Mitch is still waiting for his chitterlings.

[carmelitajones]

Thanks so much and I found out that babe has a proper name.😂

While at it, can you also do a video of 'how to shop for the week' for example so you can make basically anything you want throughout the week. I'm curious to see this through the eyes of a pro chef. Like how to fill up the fridge, what you prioritize, what's 'a must have', what is optional if you want X, what is like a 'luxury', that type of thing. Anyways, great and informative video!

[agingerbeard]

I swear I learn so much from you in ten minutes, I started keeping notes in case the internet dies and I lose my playlist 😅 Curries With Bumbi just did a very similar video specifically about Indian spices, folks like you and her have really opened my eyes with your easy to understand and obviously passionate teaching! Thanks Andy I hope the spring (fall down there?) is going well for you and your loved ones (even Mitch 😉) 💙🇨🇦

[padders]

Andy, legend as ever! Personally, I'd add some dried mixed herbs (preferably Herbs de Provence) as a must have, as they can add a lot of flavour to loads of things. And some Piri Peri Seasoning if I had room, as it works so well with chicken & pork. Just my thoughts, not a criticism! Peace ❤

[Ardiane]

Thank you chef, can you add also your containers? I am looking for good ones especially for pasta and flours to organize my pantry and yours is really neat

[tomnewman]

I have lived in Maldon my whole life, so great to hear a world famous chef mention Maldon sea salt!

[KC-ofyx]

You know what I love about the channel it’s so A/NZ - everything is the same brands we use in a simple Australian home kitchen. The utensils - got excited when I see the same Marese spoon. Just love how you and Caitlin could be the neighbours next door. No pretense just good Aussie down to earth know how.

[villvis]

I see MSG, but no mention of Hot Chili Oil. Hiya ....Uncle Roger will be disappointed.

Hey chef, loved this vid! Fellow food industry guy and i loved that you made it clear how important the organisation is. I absolutely love the containers you use for both your spices and the drystore stuff. Do you think you could share where you got them from? I've stuck with deli containers and these big icecream tubs that are super popular in the UK restaurant industry, but those plastic containers and those jars you use are so perfect. Would super appreciate it! Keep doing what you do

Also loved the korn reference hahaha

[laurengray]

Love the Korn flour label!!! 👏🏻 That's epic, so using that.
We have an texta drawing of a plane labelling our plain flour. ✈️

[clairee]

Thanks for including the clear transcript for us deaf or HoH people . Yeah I also love to have different rices stored. Making Asian meals Chinese Japanese Indian is so easy and tasty and You just reminded me get more Dashi powder after tried it recently in fact. You look like my sort of channel 😊 subscribed

[deborahdeclusin]

Oh my gosh, I love the tour.

I pretty much have everything you just showed us, including the label maker, glass jars for storage in pantry & freezer, & those little ceramic pots (mine have flowers painted on the lids).

I'm not a chef, just a kitchen freak.

Luckily I have 2 kitchens, one in the states & one in Mexico.

Love your shows.

With maggi being swiss, I would say maggi seasoning is a swiss invention.
Funnyly enough in germany "Maggi seasoning" is just called "Maggi". Not on the lable of course but in everyday speech. And its a very polarizing ingredient :D

[fishhead]

I would love to get those storage bins you have in your cabinets. They look like the perfect size and shape…. Any possibility you can share where to find them?

[MamitaClaud]

As a homecook, I don't have that much stocked up in my pantry. Tends to expire lol. My daughter on the other hand is a pastry chef and when she was still living with us, the pantry was just hers. Now that she has her own artisan bakeshop, I love to see how organized her pantry is from top to bottom. All those edible beads and decors are just amazing...and overwhelming lol.

[hangrymiss]

After watching this, I’m inspired to replace my chunky glass jars on my shelves with stacked Tupperware containers. I got it into my head that my storage containers should be glass. It’s just not practical! Round jars are not an efficient use of space and you can’t see beyond the first row when they’re on a shelf. Waiting for them to be half price in the supermarket….😂
