kush on screen has really complimented the show.
i absolutely love his energy and cooking style.

Can we take a moment and just admire and be in awe of of quickly Jamie took all of Kush's information through out the video, processed it, and then used it for the final dish. Which is stunning!

The Kush masterclasses are some of the best content on the channel. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with everyone, chef Kush

[christopherlebel]

I love the masterclasses! Also, ongoing petition for my dream episode, "Buzzed/drunk chefs remote control sober normals." you could bring on some fun guests, pluggy plug plug your gin, and have a good laugh. Keep it up you guys.

The way Kush looks at everyone when he is teaching them, and letting them find things out themselves is so heartwarming.

What a beautiful human.

"Three is the magic number."

Balanced dishes aside, I think the most impressive thing Kush balances is his chaotic-mischief-shenanigans energy with his energy

Kush is a fantastic teacher. A literal masterclass taught by him would be amazing to participate at. Also, good on Jamie for letting himself to be demonstration material.

[BlazeMiskulin]

As a former teacher, I really appreciate the differing ways in which Ben and Kush teach. Ben is very much about the history and cultural context of a dish, while Kush is more about the details. If I want to learn why certain foods go together in a cuisine or which fusion will and will not work, I'd go to Ben. Plating and seasoning master classes, I'd go to Kush.

And... Jamie was the *perfect* normal for this one. Great pairing.

Thanks!

I love how this is ‘teaching’ and not ‘insulting’. Don’t get me wrong I think Jamie did great! I would be extremely happy with his plating. But Kush knows how to take it from an 8 to a 10. ❤

[LivWis]

The patience and calmness in the way Kush explains things is so wonderful. You never feel like you're less than or dumb or anything like that, you always feel like you're being taught with intention. Giving very Uncle/Dad vibes, and I think it's wonderful how Kush guides anyone and everyone through these things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all Kush!

[NerdyMusicChef]

I think Kush and Jamie might be a favorite combination for me. Kush is such a gentle yet clear teacher, and Jamie always seems open and eager to learn new things!

[wendyoldbag]

Another great masterclass!... It's nice to see Kush encouraging Jamie to think about WHY he made certain plating choices, and the reassurance that nothing is intrinsically 'wrong'...I have some VERY happy memories of food that was served the most at simple of levels.. Mum's homemade stew, just ladled into bowls and served with a plate of sliced bread in the centre of the table for 'dunking'!

[drjonbear]

These masterclasses are utterly exceptional! Absolutely love them. So much stuff that you don't think about as a normal.

Thank you Sorted, well I guess most of people struggle here or are unsure. You may not need a finer plating for your quick meal, but you may also want to plate nicer just for your joy. Some people have problems with eating mentally or physically so the plating helps a bit there.

Often you see chefs plate nicely and you understand it but doing it yourself with your dish is something different 🥰

This was a perfect format. Jamie, being all of us, watching him plate and have the breakdown/contrast with the reasoning explained, was perfect. It was very visual and hands on style learning that just made sense. Kush is a wonderful instructor!

[YasdanyR]

Kush is the kind of chef I would love to learn a lot of things, this man is a beast of knowledge

[ConankunYT]

Putting Kush in front of the camera has been the best decision in the history of Sorted

[richbuilds_com]

Kush has been such a natural fit for the show. He's also a bloody good cookerator!

[RBRB]

I literally felt so proud of Jamie when I saw his plate #3! I love him and Kush together. They have total sibling energy - support each other but pull each others legs and just have a great time together
