I don't bake anymore I actually used to

bake when I was younger like when I was

like 15 I used to make muffins every

week and then I'd eat them throughout

the week for breakfast and like that was

so cute of me as like a 15 year old I'm

so proud of myself for doing that you

know like I want to get back into that I

want to

I went to the farmer's market this

morning and I got so much fruit

I literally bought forty dollars worth

of fruit and I ate all of it today the

only stuff I didn't eat this is all I

didn't eat so I'm making strawberry

muffins I wanted to make blueberry

muffins but I ate all of my [ __ ]

muffins but I ate all of my __

blueberries

30 minutes after buying them

ah you know when you watch videos of

people like doing things and then it

makes you feel like you can do it too

like a good example would be like during

the Olympics after like a week of

watching the Olympics you start to feel

like you could do what they're doing

because you've watched them do it so

much that like you're like oh I feel

like I could do that now that I you know

that's how I feel about baking

sorry I'm trying to find the umbilical

cord of the of the egg

it's disgusting but like I refuse to

have that in my muffins so excuse me as

I pull it out thank you I don't really

need to do that either like it's kind of

unnecessary

but I just feel better when it's not in

there so

all right to be honest I don't think

I've ever even had a strawberry muffin I

can't imagine it would be bad

[Music]

oh my God that tastes delicious

I've grown this obsession with this

Chef her name is Claire I am obsessed

with her she is the best

person on the planet literally all I do

in my free time is lay in bed and watch

Claire bake things that's all I do I

want her to officiate my wedding I want

her to

I'm obsessed with her the strawberries

look good I'm happy with it I don't

really know what I'm what my goals

that's fine

God the dough is so thick holy [ __ ] it's

God the dough is so thick holy __ it's

so thick it's moments like this when I

don't know what to do

like I can't really need it

okay like does it need more oil

like I can't add water I don't think

like that's not good I don't I've never

seen

what would Claire do honestly what would

Claire do

I feel like she'd add oil or milk

oh my god did I not put the milk in

that's what

I forgot to put the milk in

this is chaos I just know that this

isn't right

I think it's actually fine

but it's not bad I think it would have

been better

with blueberries I think the

strawberries are just like not they're

just not flavorful enough but

they're pretty good

I'm gonna make these again with

blueberries and I think they'll be

really good they're very moist which is

nice they're not dry they're dense which

I like I like a dense muffin

I think they're also lacking some

sweetness like I think they could be a

little sweeter I'll tweak the recipe

I'll add blueberries they'll be good

next time

I finally got my espresso machine in the

mail after a year in two months I have

been waiting for this thing for it feels

like my whole life I'm honestly

so relieved

what

[Music]

Music

do you want to come sit with me

okay

I'm just thrilled it was so hard for me

to not have an espresso machine for a

year and a half

I've been drinking cold brew for like a

year straight

um a year and a half straight

exactly a year and two months straight

this drink might look a little bit weird

to you because number one there's not

much of it and number two it's warm and

I normally don't drink warm drinks but

this is a cortado and I've recently

really grown to love cortados they're

basically like a latte but with less

milk I think they're [ __ ] amazing the

milk I think they're __ amazing the

other thing I like about them is that I

can drink them in a short period of time

and so the entire time that I'm drinking

the cortado the temperature is ideal

whereas when you get a hot latte the

first few sips are too hot and then you

have like a two minute window where

things are tasting great the temperature

is on point everything is in a good spot

and then it gets too cold and then you

still have like half of a latte left and

it's too cold and that's just not good

you know

cortados are supposed to be served in

like a tiny little glass but I don't

have any of those I ordered them they're

coming I can't wait to get them because

it's gonna make my coffee experience

Next Level it's so foggy and rainy out

today that I'm not going outside

foreign

I decided I needed to go on a walk

because if I didn't things were gonna

get dark do you know what I mean and one

of the things I like about traveling is

that I tend to walk around and explore a

lot more and I don't really do that when

I'm in LA because

there's not much to see there's really

not a lot going on here this is my

favorite neighborhood in LA to walk

around because it's all flat and all the

houses are gorgeous and for some odd

reason nobody's here ever like I I just

saw one other person and that was it and

I've been walking for like 20 minutes

and I have not seen anybody where is

everyone it's it's genuinely spooky this

neighborhood is so

[ __ ] weird but I love it I really

__ weird but I love it I really

love it I would never live in this

neighborhood because

I just wouldn't but I mean there's

something so interesting about it and

Eerie about it

[Music]

all right

I have been coming to this target for

three years

and I still get lost

every single time I park in this parking

garage it is the absolute worst parking

garage

you know I'm kind of taking this cooking

thing like

seriously here's my here's my thing

here's my journey okay I've been like

lightly getting into cooking for a few

months now but I was like a lazy Chef

okay like I would make something and

then you know like I'd make pasta and I

would use sauce that I bought from the

store

like I wouldn't make my own sauce so you

know technically I was cooking for

myself but at the same time I was kind

of cheating I've always been a very lazy

chef but recently I decided that I you

know wanted to get really good at it but

I also wanted to make [ __ ] that's like

I also wanted to make __ that's like

actually restaurant quality and not just

like whip something together

that's lazy not that there's anything

wrong with that I just like I don't know

I want to really get good at actually

cooking things so I've been

experimenting a lot with making homemade

sauces I'm cooking some vegetables in

one of the sauces I made which is this

green tahini sauce and it's

[ __ ] insane it's so good I also made

__ insane it's so good I also made

this lemon Dijon salad dressing which is

very good and I made this tomato basil

sauce and I made it completely from

scratch I've roasted my own Tomatoes I

roasted my own garlic I made my own

pesto

I blended it all together like I'm

trying to get good at this I think that

the missing piece for me like up until

now was that I didn't make my own sauces

making your own sauces is like a game

changer so I've been really trying to

get good at making sauces I think that

what makes a good sauce is a lot of

fresh herbs and fresh herbs are kind of

annoying to buy but I kid you not

they make the best sauces I didn't cook

anything interesting today because I

just ate leftovers that were in my

fridge but like

that's fine that's actually kind of one

of the good parts about cooking then you

have leftovers all the time the real

reason why I wanted to get into cooking

all of a sudden and like actually get

into it not just like

is because I've been watching strictly

cooking videos in my free time but also

instructional videos like yes I watched

like fun cooking videos but I also watch

instructional cooking videos I've

learned a lot sorry I forgot what the

recipe is just I want to be a [ __ ]

recipe is just I want to be a __

Chef baby I'm not [ __ ] around like I

Chef baby I'm not __ around like I

don't want to [ __ ] around see this is a

don't want to __ around see this is a

habanero chili and this makes the sauce

taste so good but I'm genuinely scared

of touching habanero chilies because the

oil from them rubs off onto your hands

and then burns your eyes if you touch

your eyes so I'm really trying not to

touch this pepper I will avoid it at all

costs ah

you know what I'm just gonna have to

touch it if I touch my eyeball later I'm

gonna be hating my life but I want to

cook for somebody like one of my family

or friends and I want them to be like

Emma

how did you make this like that's my

goal my goal is like to get to a point

where I'm so good that like people who

have known me for a long time are like

Emma I can't believe you've done this

oh [ __ ] I did cheese grade my finger the

oh __ I did cheese grade my finger the

other day so that's what is going on

here and now I just got lime juice into

which is probably karma for something ow

garlic literally my favorite ingredient

to cook with is tahini if you don't know

what tahini is it's Blended up sesame

seeds I don't know what it is but it's

my favorite ingredient to cook with I

put it in everything

and then if I don't use tahini

I'm probably using sesame seeds

I'm genuinely excited to have a child

one day to make their school lunches my

kids are going to have the most badass

school lunches of all time I don't know

if I've said that before out loud I

can't remember I feel like I have said

that out loud

but it's becoming more true every day

otherwise having a kid is super not

appealing to me but like actually

pushing the kid out of my body not

appealing dealing with my child when my

child was crying again not that

appealing

but making my kids really aesthetically

pleasing school lunches that will make

other moms

jealous that is

that is appealing

all right this sauce is ready to be

Blended

let's see oh it's the most gorgeous

light green color

it's so good this is the best sauce I've

ever made holy [ __ ] it's so good

ever made holy __ it's so good

I would [ __ ] drink this sauce

I would __ drink this sauce

don't do that

don't do what I just did oh my God it's

so good

wow that makes me love myself cooking

something that actually tastes good

really boosts your confidence don't ask

me why it's tahini water habanero pepper

salt lime garlic basil mint I think

that's it and you just put in a blender

and now you have your own sauce

that you can put on literally anything

and it would make literally anything

taste good like you could put this on

some gross [ __ ] and it would make it

some gross __ and it would make it

taste good you could put this on chicken

livers I would drink this sauce

okay that was super exciting

there we go I'm trying to think if

there's anything else I can cook right

now that's what I tend to do I like to

cook at night like cook the night before

and then I have food for the next day I

think I'm good though I have some stuff

roasting in the oven

foreign

not done yet what else could I cook this

is why I want kids because it's like I

want to cook for more people I don't

want to just cook for myself and I feel

like kids you know they're easy to cook

for

they don't care you know you make them

homemade mac and cheese you make them

box mac and cheese they don't know the

difference which is why you know cooking

for them is so healing
