Babish needs to make a Date Night III video on April Fools Day and it's literally just him sitting in the dark with a bowl of dates.

9:08 -- The tip about re-emulsifying a breaking sauce -- I had this problem a lot when I was making the red wine reduction from the Basics episode on sauces (Oct '17). Turns out I just wasn't being patient enough, and I was introducing the butter too early. I found success once I let the sauce get properly thick and put in the butter last; I took it off the heat and swirled the butter until gently incorporated. But it's great to know there's a simple remedy and that the sauce isn't irreparable if it breaks. Thanks for the tip!

I know we've got the whole Banish Culinary Universe now but Basics is still my favorite. Made the chicken parm recipe for my family's Christmas dinner. Was most definitely NOT botched. 😋

Basics with Babish be like:
Episode 10 - Eggs
Episode 500 - Date Night Dinner XXIV: Steamed sea urchin custard, duck pâté en croûte, and Alvin Zhou's 100-Hour Tiramisu
Episode 1000 - Date Night XLIX: Advanced molecular gastronomy

We have the same ramekins.

ETA: because most of us aren’t blessed with perfect balance, remove the ramekins after adding the water around them. Place the casserole in the oven, and then place the ramekins back into the tray, and close the oven.

@Babish, one small edit you might want to include for the tomato confit is that the oil you mentioned saving SHOULD be refrigerated, as confit oil can play host to botulism if left out!

Otherwise a great video!

Hi Andy. I found a small cowboy toy with your name on it and I'd like to return it.. sooner rather than later actually. He won't stop going on about the snake in his boots. I've looked several times and assured the little man that there is no snake in his boot.

The four course date night meal got me my first relationship and still going. Love your recipes!

This reminds me of NYE with my husband once the kid was out of the house. I'd show off my better than your average weeknight skills with a 6-7 course meal starting with an appetizer and ending with chocolates, all served with appropriate wine/drinks. We timed the chocolate and champagne to watch the ball drop in Time Square on tv. It was a lot of fun. Oh, and we'd get all dressed up to start and drop a layer with each course served. Use your imagination about our mode of attire for chocolate, champagne and Time Square.

I can’t believe something so valuable is free. It’s an incredible time we are living in. At no other time in history has this kind of expertise been shared to so many people for so little cost.
I’m feeling grateful, Andy. And so is my lovely date.

You made the steak from the matrix but what about your version of the goop that they eat in the real world? The whole "tasty wheat" conversation. I was always curious just what might go in that. Love the content

I've been wanting to make Cornish game hens on account of how they bear a strong resemblance to Porgs. Now I can. Thank you, Andy!

As a bagger in a grocery store, I can confirm that the cherry tomatoes can be stubborn, but annoyingly the "lid" loves to fly off/fall off

[NatRoberts]

I'd watch a whole series of Date Nights tbh, love the variations

[Voidbirds]

I would love to see a Babish take on the Colombian foods in Encanto such as the Arepas and the soups

[Laura-fcnc]

Date night yay!!! This is going to be an excellent meal for New Years Eve....creme brulee is my fave!! Thanks Babbish👍🏼🤟🏼

[WhoFan]

Great episode. Dug the deconstructed pesto.

Personally, I'd love to see Babish do a Turducken next Tuesday from Monday Night Football, in honor of the late John Madden.

[silverwolfgamer]

I have a suggestion. Something nice and simple, from Spice and Wolf. There’s an episode where Holo takes ill and Lawrence suggests: Wheat porridge cooked in goat’s milk with apple pieces and goat cheese on top. I would love to see you make this

Fun fact, the bain-marie, which translates to "Mary's Bath, " was invented by (and is named after) Maria Hebrea, an alchemist who lived in the early 1st millennium. She used it to gently heat chemicals for alchemy, we use it for custard!

One of my favorite chef on YouTube. You should try creating the food from the movie, Chocolat.
