[mellow music playing]

00:00:04,672 --> 00:00:06,307
[Andrew]
It's the holiday season.
3
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,575
[doorbell rings]
4
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:08,742
Oh!
5
00:00:08,776 --> 00:00:11,145
[Zoe] A time
for family, friends...
6
00:00:11,179 --> 00:00:12,213
How's it going?
Good seeing you, man.
7
00:00:12,246 --> 00:00:14,915
[Zoe] ...and of course,
lots of food.
8
00:00:15,983 --> 00:00:17,551
Are you punching my dough?
9
00:00:17,585 --> 00:00:19,153
I did by accident.
10
00:00:19,187 --> 00:00:21,155
After 30 years of friendship,
11
00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:24,592
Zoe Francois and I
are finally joining forces
12
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,894
to throw
an epic holiday party.
13
00:00:26,927 --> 00:00:28,028
Happy holidays.
14
00:00:28,062 --> 00:00:31,265
[Zoe] Sharing some of
our most beloved Christmas
15
00:00:31,299 --> 00:00:33,467
and Hanukkah
family traditions.
16
00:00:33,501 --> 00:00:35,336
You so chefed this up.
17
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:37,405
[Andrew] Learn our secrets
18
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,840
for giving favorite
traditional recipes
19
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,475
some holiday flair.
20
00:00:42,143 --> 00:00:43,111
Aah!
21
00:00:43,144 --> 00:00:46,013
Tips and tricks
for sharing the work...
22
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:47,915
[Zoe] And the fun.
23
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:49,650
[Andrew] Grab a plate,
let's eat.
24
00:00:49,683 --> 00:00:50,951
[all] Whoa!
25
00:00:50,984 --> 00:00:53,654
[Andrew] Pull up a chair
and join the party.
26
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,356
[all cheering]
27
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:56,290
[laughter]
28
00:01:00,361 --> 00:01:01,429
[birds chirping]
29
00:01:01,462 --> 00:01:03,797
[whimsical music playing]
30
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:10,938
[Zoe] It's the holidays.
31
00:01:10,971 --> 00:01:13,541
It's my absolute
favorite time of the year.
32
00:01:13,574 --> 00:01:17,044
And I love to decorate
and throw parties.
33
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:20,781
It's just the time of the year
that you go over the top,
34
00:01:21,549 --> 00:01:22,716
and it's all right.
35
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,585
In fact, it's expected.
36
00:01:25,553 --> 00:01:28,556
And it occurred to me
that I have never
37
00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:30,791
thrown a party
with my friend Andrew.
38
00:01:32,059 --> 00:01:34,162
After three decades
of friendship,
39
00:01:34,162 --> 00:01:37,731
we've decided to host a mashup
Christmas-Hanukkah party
40
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:38,999
for some of our friends.
41
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,536
So I'm gonna have him
over for lunch,
42
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:46,274
and we're gonna talk about
what we wanna do.
43
00:01:46,307 --> 00:01:49,410
And so, I wanna make him
something super tasty.
44
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,812
Ah, it smells so good.
45
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:54,414
This Spicy Spinach
Artichoke Dip
46
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:56,817
is a quick
and delicious recipe
47
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,952
that's so easy
to throw together.
48
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:01,789
I'm gonna sauté
the onions and garlic
49
00:02:01,822 --> 00:02:03,056
and the jalapenos.
50
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:05,259
I'm gonna add my spinach,
51
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:08,662
and then
my artichoke hearts.
52
00:02:10,264 --> 00:02:13,201
Okay, so while that
is sitting there,
53
00:02:13,234 --> 00:02:17,004
I'm gonna mix up my cheese
54
00:02:17,037 --> 00:02:18,872
and all the creamy bits.
55
00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:22,810
Stir it all together,
56
00:02:22,843 --> 00:02:25,379
put it right back
into the pan,
57
00:02:25,413 --> 00:02:27,079
a little bit of cheese
on the top,
58
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:29,883
and then I'm using jalapeno.
59
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:32,253
Intersperse those
with the Fresno.
60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,021
One last one.
61
00:02:34,054 --> 00:02:35,723
This looks great.
62
00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:41,395
Andrew and I actually met
over the phone.
63
00:02:41,429 --> 00:02:42,930
He needed a pastry chef,
64
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:44,232
I needed a job.
65
00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:46,066
I landed in Minneapolis
66
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:47,701
and I met him
for the first time,
67
00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:51,239
and I was like, "What have I
gotten myself into?"
68
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:54,041
This man is crazy.
69
00:02:54,074 --> 00:02:56,477
He's also brilliant.
70
00:02:57,278 --> 00:02:59,280
I think it took
about 20 minutes
71
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:03,251
for us to decide
that we would be
lifetime friends.
72
00:03:03,284 --> 00:03:05,553
She was so talented.
73
00:03:06,254 --> 00:03:07,688
I mean, I knew back then
74
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:10,258
she was gonna be
a star in this business.
75
00:03:10,291 --> 00:03:13,594
Through the years
we've done a lot
of the same things.
76
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:15,663
I've held her children
as babies,
77
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:18,332
and she and her family
78
00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:21,168
are part of
my extended family.
79
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,671
Mmm!
80
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:25,673
Ah, just look at that.
81
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:28,376
That toasty cheese,
82
00:03:28,409 --> 00:03:29,777
I love it.
83
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:30,878
All right.
84
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:32,413
I just need Andrew.
85
00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:33,881
[whimsical music playing]
86
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:35,115
Hello!
87
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,450
Hi.
88
00:03:36,484 --> 00:03:37,851
I'm in the kitchen.
89
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,687
You've gotta deal
with that stoop, lady,
90
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,454
if you have a shovel.
91
00:03:41,489 --> 00:03:43,291
No, I was fine
coming straight in.
92
00:03:43,291 --> 00:03:44,558
I'm cold.
93
00:03:44,591 --> 00:03:46,026
If I had to describe
94
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,861
the relationship
that Zoe and I have,
95
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:52,966
is that I am her
very irritating older brother.
96
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,835
-I'm just gonna--
-Yeah, just hang it there,
that's fine.
97
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:56,737
-Are you starving?
-I am starving.
98
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:59,873
It just, just
came out of the oven.
99
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:02,075
Like, your timing
could not be better.
100
00:04:02,109 --> 00:04:03,311
[Andrew] I love it.
101
00:04:03,311 --> 00:04:05,078
All right, this is
artichoke dip.
102
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:06,414
[Andrew] One of my favs.
103
00:04:06,447 --> 00:04:08,816
I tried to burn
your face off with this,
104
00:04:08,849 --> 00:04:11,319
-and it's really
not spicy at all.
-[muffled] It's so good.
105
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:12,886
I would rather eat this...
106
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,388
-Mmm.
-...on a cold snowy day
107
00:04:14,422 --> 00:04:15,889
than just about
anything else.
108
00:04:15,923 --> 00:04:17,425
-'Cause it warms you up.
-I know.
109
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:20,461
The thing that
I think I love the most...
110
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:22,763
-Mmm.
-...about this time of year
111
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:25,499
is actually gathering family.
112
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:27,801
-Biological...
-Yeah.
113
00:04:27,835 --> 00:04:29,670
-...and chosen.
-Chosen.
114
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:33,006
We haven't thrown
a party like this together,
so I'm really excited.
115
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,609
When you were little,
did you do holiday stuff?
116
00:04:35,643 --> 00:04:38,512
Depending on
when Hanukkah landed,
117
00:04:38,546 --> 00:04:41,181
we would do
my mom's family,
118
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:43,351
and then we would do Christmas
with my dad's family.
119
00:04:43,384 --> 00:04:44,818
-[Andrew] Mmm-hmm.
-And I loved it.
120
00:04:44,852 --> 00:04:46,820
And I had thought
that was totally normal.
121
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:48,589
And I brought the boys up
122
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,724
-doing both holidays too.
-Me too.
123
00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:53,361
When Noah was about five,
124
00:04:53,361 --> 00:04:55,963
he'd just come
from nursery school
at the temple.
125
00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:58,432
He looked at me one day,
126
00:04:58,466 --> 00:05:01,101
and looked at his stocking
and the tree,
127
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,203
and looked at me like,
128
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,405
"We're Jewish."
129
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:07,408
And I was like,
"But we celebrate
everything big."
130
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:10,177
The other
great thing about it,
131
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:12,413
is like, all of
the food mashups.
132
00:05:12,446 --> 00:05:13,714
So, we have 48 hours.
133
00:05:13,747 --> 00:05:15,082
We have 48 hours.
134
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,784
Should we, like, figure out
135
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:17,885
-food and...
-Yeah.
136
00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:19,787
I need a minute
to think about it,
137
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:20,954
especially with baking.
138
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:22,623
-Mmm-hmm.
-It's all a little bit
of a timing issue.
139
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:23,924
So, give you a night
to think about it?
140
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:24,858
[Zoe] Yeah.
141
00:05:24,892 --> 00:05:27,227
So I'm gonna finish up
my cookie house.
142
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:30,398
I think it'll make
a really sweet centerpiece.
143
00:05:30,398 --> 00:05:32,966
-[Andrew] Can I help?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
144
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,770
Traditionally, people would
make a gingerbread house,
145
00:05:36,804 --> 00:05:39,573
but my house looks
like a sugar cookie.
146
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,909
And every year I do this,
147
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:46,213
and every year it gets
a little bit more ornate.
148
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:48,115
And I add more details.
149
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,784
Eventually, I'm hoping
to make a life-size one,
150
00:05:50,818 --> 00:05:52,953
so we can have
the party in the house.
151
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,823
When we bought the house,
152
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:58,091
we found all the blueprints.
153
00:05:58,125 --> 00:06:00,994
I was gonna do
the cookie just...
154
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:01,995
-you know...
-Yeah.
155
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,063
...eyeballing it.
156
00:06:03,096 --> 00:06:04,197
But I have this.
157
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:07,200
So I can really get,
you know, precise.
158
00:06:07,234 --> 00:06:09,136
Your part may not be
as precise,
159
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:10,638
-but--
-No, mine's gonna be precise.
160
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:13,507
I love Andrew
just like a brother.
161
00:06:13,541 --> 00:06:15,743
Do I have to do that thing
where I, kind of, like...
162
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:16,844
Limber up?
163
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:18,245
-You're in your tracksuit.
-No, I did. I stretch--
164
00:06:18,278 --> 00:06:19,480
-You can do... [laughs]
-Oh...
165
00:06:19,513 --> 00:06:22,182
before I came in, 'cause I
knew that you would want me...
166
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:23,484
What do you need me to do?
167
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:26,554
If you could do
some brick pattern
on the sides like this.
168
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:28,255
-And then if you want to--
-But so, hold on...
169
00:06:28,288 --> 00:06:29,690
Did I lose you already?
170
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,258
No, no, no, no.
I just wanna do it right.
171
00:06:31,291 --> 00:06:34,695
[Zoe] So this right here,
we'll put...
172
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:36,497
-[Andrew] It's gonna be this.
-Yeah, perfect.
173
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:38,165
And then we'll
glue them all together.
174
00:06:38,198 --> 00:06:40,000
-All right.
-Yeah, we'll do-- Yeah, go.
175
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:41,469
You do your thing.
176
00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:44,271
Man, are you precise.
177
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:49,042
I have to say,
your piping skills
are to be commended.
178
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:52,813
Yeah, we might need...
[laughing] a few more days.
179
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:56,917
Do you wanna
get together tomorrow,
180
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:58,786
-and go over our menus?
-Yes.
181
00:07:08,028 --> 00:07:10,631
[Zoe] I like that we're doing
the two different holidays.
182
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:11,599
100%.
183
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:12,566
-It's awesome.
-I love that.
184
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,268
What do you actually
have at the holidays?
185
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:16,504
What would you serve?
186
00:07:16,504 --> 00:07:17,638
-What would I serve?
-Yeah.
187
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:20,173
My grandmother's brisket,
188
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:22,275
which has kicked off Hanukkah
189
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:24,512
every year
in the Zimmern family
190
00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:26,313
since they could
afford brisket,
191
00:07:26,346 --> 00:07:29,049
which was probably
right after the Depression.
192
00:07:29,082 --> 00:07:31,218
You gotta have fried items
'cause it's Hanukkah.
193
00:07:31,251 --> 00:07:32,385
Latkes?
194
00:07:32,419 --> 00:07:33,954
[Andrew] I do Latkes.
195
00:07:33,987 --> 00:07:36,790
Who doesn't love
a nice fried potato pancake?
196
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:39,527
And I'd bring stuff
and decorate them.
197
00:07:39,527 --> 00:07:41,895
[Zoe] I was thinking some,
like, rosemary buns
198
00:07:41,929 --> 00:07:42,830
[Andrew] You have to.
199
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:44,532
I think green beans, you know,
200
00:07:44,532 --> 00:07:47,534
I think it's an important part
of balancing out the plate.
201
00:07:47,534 --> 00:07:49,537
Right? Easy but elegant.
202
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:50,838
These are all very classic.
203
00:07:50,871 --> 00:07:56,243
Can we lean into sweet potato,
yam land a little bit?
204
00:07:56,276 --> 00:07:57,845
[Zoe] Oh, yeah.
205
00:07:57,878 --> 00:08:00,881
This is what I'm thinking
for dessert.
206
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:01,982
A Buche de Noel.
207
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:05,252
'Cause I do it
every single Christmas.
208
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:06,153
Oh, I know.
209
00:08:06,186 --> 00:08:07,387
[Zoe] It's a showstopper,
210
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,057
and it's just
a super fun dessert.
211
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:12,125
I wanted to do Sufganiyot,
212
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:14,327
-the stuffed jelly donuts.
-Yeah.
213
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:17,097
But I was thinking
I would do, like,
a play on that.
214
00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:19,667
You know, we need to, like,
glam this up a little bit.
215
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:20,901
-We gotta glam it.
-[Andrew] I'm all for it.
216
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:24,004
Maybe for a little
hors d'oeuvre-y thing.
217
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:26,173
Maybe like little falafel.
218
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:27,675
The guest experience
219
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:29,943
at a holiday party
is really important to me.
220
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:33,145
So I wanna put out
things that folks can
help themselves to
221
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,315
while I'm finishing
things up in the kitchen.
222
00:08:35,347 --> 00:08:38,751
I don't like
host, hostess gifts.
223
00:08:38,786 --> 00:08:39,919
-For someone to bring us.
-Oh.
224
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,188
[Zoe] We need to
make something for them.
225
00:08:42,222 --> 00:08:44,992
Well, I was thinking
hot chocolate mix
226
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:46,594
-so they can go home--
-You make your little kits?
227
00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:49,462
-Yeah, with marshmallow.
-With Toffee Matzo,
228
00:08:49,496 --> 00:08:51,431
-which is my thing.
-Yes.
229
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:53,601
[Andrew] And it's
super easy to make.
230
00:08:54,301 --> 00:08:56,169
[Zoe] This menu is ridiculous,
231
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:57,638
and so much fun.
232
00:08:57,671 --> 00:09:00,140
-It's gonna be awesome.
-[Andrew] Plus, it honors
the holiday.
233
00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:02,109
Everybody is
gonna be included.
234
00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:05,045
We have a lot
of food to make.
235
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:07,615
[Andrew] It's gonna be
fantastic. I'm really,
really pumped.
236
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,191
I love that I took on, like,
237
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,928
all of these giant projects
for this party,
238
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,262
and Andrew,
239
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,064
I think, basically,
just has to stick
240
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:25,966
a piece of meat
into the oven. [laughs]
241
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:28,969
In order to get this all done,
242
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:32,740
we're gonna have to do
some of these things
individually.
243
00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:36,309
So, Andrew's gonna go home
244
00:09:36,343 --> 00:09:37,678
and start his brisket.
245
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,649
And I'm gonna get started
on the Buche de Noel,
246
00:09:41,649 --> 00:09:42,915
and then we're
gonna get together
247
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:44,852
and combine our efforts.
248
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:49,056
Nothing says
the holidays to me
249
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,958
like my grandmother's brisket.
250
00:09:50,991 --> 00:09:52,660
It is the centerpiece
251
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:56,096
of every great first night
of Hanukkah celebration.
252
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:57,698
Brisket is it, for me.
253
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,801
My grandmother
just used onions.
254
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:04,571
And then she finished it
at the end with a little bit
of red wine vinegar.
255
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,139
That was her secret.
256
00:10:06,173 --> 00:10:07,574
When it's holiday time,
257
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,643
I try to make it
a little more elegant.
258
00:10:09,677 --> 00:10:11,278
I just do mirepoix,
259
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:15,148
really nicely diced celery,
260
00:10:15,883 --> 00:10:17,818
carrot, onion,
261
00:10:18,385 --> 00:10:19,286
and leek.
262
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:21,188
I hit it with
a bottle of wine
263
00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:23,256
and I braise it
for five or six hours.
264
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:24,124
It's just...
265
00:10:24,792 --> 00:10:26,293
a smidge more elegant.
266
00:10:26,326 --> 00:10:28,195
Something like this brisket,
267
00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:30,998
I can do a couple of days
in advance.
268
00:10:31,031 --> 00:10:34,367
Making day of celebration
really, really easy.
269
00:10:34,401 --> 00:10:37,671
Essentially warm,
slice and serve.
270
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,374
I'm gonna make a herb mixture
271
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:43,310
of sage,
272
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:44,611
paprika,
273
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:45,746
and thyme.
274
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:48,648
And then I'm gonna add
some good salt.
275
00:10:48,682 --> 00:10:52,853
This is actually
my grandmother's salt cellar
276
00:10:52,886 --> 00:10:54,654
that was her mother's.
277
00:10:54,688 --> 00:10:57,224
And this was in her apartment
278
00:10:57,257 --> 00:10:58,892
when I was a little kid.
279
00:10:58,926 --> 00:11:00,527
And it actually hung
280
00:11:01,128 --> 00:11:02,730
on a little hook
281
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:04,798
because she had
no counter space.
282
00:11:04,832 --> 00:11:06,433
And I love it.
This is probably
283
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:07,968
my most treasured...
284
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,404
food possession of any kind.
285
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:13,874
This is where
it all started, right?
286
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,976
This is the world's first
watering hole
287
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,745
when it comes
to my culinary career.
288
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:22,315
Nothing brought our family
more happiness
289
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:24,117
than eating the brisket
290
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:26,754
on a holiday afternoon
or evening
291
00:11:26,787 --> 00:11:27,955
in my grandmother's house.
292
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:31,091
I would sit on the stool
at the end of her tiny kitchen
293
00:11:31,124 --> 00:11:34,161
in her teeny little apartment
on West End Avenue.
294
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,229
And what would
come out of there
295
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:38,766
was the best
and most delicious food,
296
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:40,768
and the most joyous times.
297
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:44,004
It's probably the reason
that I do what I do today.
298
00:11:45,773 --> 00:11:49,176
And you just lay that down
away from you.
299
00:11:50,778 --> 00:11:53,881
The smell of brisket
to me is Hanukkah.
300
00:12:01,521 --> 00:12:02,355
Mmm.
301
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:04,557
Absolutely perfect.
302
00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:07,460
Tomato paste.
303
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:11,098
And we're gonna add
this whole bottle.
304
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,936
I like to bring this
to a boil.
305
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:20,573
I want this to be
cooking right away
when it goes in the oven.
306
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:23,210
It's going into a slow oven.
307
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:25,578
And that, my friends,
is the key
308
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:28,949
to a good roast like this.
309
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:31,118
It's gonna be cooking
for the full
310
00:12:31,151 --> 00:12:33,520
five, five and a half,
six-ish hours
311
00:12:33,553 --> 00:12:36,223
that it's gonna take
to make this brisket tender.
312
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:37,825
-[dog barks]
-Yes!
313
00:12:39,659 --> 00:12:42,695
Upstaged by my eldest.
314
00:12:42,729 --> 00:12:44,597
Every year,
I make a Buche de Noel.
315
00:12:44,631 --> 00:12:48,435
It's just a really
traditional holiday dessert.
316
00:12:49,837 --> 00:12:53,841
It's the Yule Log in a cake.
317
00:12:53,841 --> 00:12:57,110
That's my signature move
every Christmas.
318
00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:58,711
They're always
a little bit different.
319
00:12:58,745 --> 00:12:59,980
Like a different shape,
320
00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:02,215
a different
flavor combination
321
00:13:02,249 --> 00:13:04,051
just to keep
myself entertained.
322
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:07,320
This year, I'm going
for a chocolate sponge cake,
323
00:13:07,354 --> 00:13:10,623
and then I'm gonna fill it
with ricotta
324
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:12,325
and sour cherries,
325
00:13:12,359 --> 00:13:14,862
and espresso buttercream,
326
00:13:14,862 --> 00:13:16,563
and then of course,
the meringue mushrooms
327
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:17,965
because they're so much fun.
328
00:13:17,998 --> 00:13:20,200
The beautiful thing
about a sponge cake
329
00:13:20,233 --> 00:13:22,402
is that it's light
and airy.
330
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:23,904
And the way that we're
gonna get that
331
00:13:23,937 --> 00:13:27,875
is by whipping a lot of air
into our eggs.
332
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:31,244
I'm going to whip air
into the yolks.
333
00:13:33,947 --> 00:13:36,683
And then I'm gonna whip
the whites separately...
334
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:37,885
Mmm.
335
00:13:39,419 --> 00:13:40,753
and marry them together.
336
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:42,222
Look at that.
337
00:13:42,255 --> 00:13:43,924
Stirring in the sifted flour
338
00:13:43,957 --> 00:13:46,894
and the cocoa mixture
is the last step.
339
00:13:46,894 --> 00:13:49,930
We're making
all of these components ahead,
340
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:52,900
and then we get to save
the best part for last,
341
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:54,267
decorating.
342
00:14:02,475 --> 00:14:04,344
Probably more than I need,
but it's fun.
343
00:14:06,914 --> 00:14:07,915
Mmm.
344
00:14:07,915 --> 00:14:11,251
We might get a little puff
of the powdered sugar.
345
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:12,152
Ooh.
346
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:14,254
And hopefully,
our cake is there.
347
00:14:14,287 --> 00:14:15,388
Yes!
348
00:14:16,123 --> 00:14:16,990
Perfect.
349
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:19,626
And I use the towel
to roll it.
350
00:14:19,659 --> 00:14:21,361
You need to do this
while it's hot
351
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:23,830
so that it's still
super flexible,
352
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:26,133
and you just use the towel
353
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:30,237
to roll this
into a nice, tight log.
354
00:14:31,738 --> 00:14:34,374
I love making meringue.
355
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:36,643
It's just egg whites
and sugar,
356
00:14:36,676 --> 00:14:39,846
and I'm gonna
use this for both
the meringue mushrooms
357
00:14:39,947 --> 00:14:41,714
and the buttercream frosting.
358
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:45,285
My dad's mom was obsessed
with Christmas.
359
00:14:45,318 --> 00:14:49,856
She made, probably,
12 different kinds
of cookies every year.
360
00:14:49,957 --> 00:14:52,659
We loved it so, so much.
361
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:54,061
I mean, I grew up
on a commune.
362
00:14:54,094 --> 00:14:56,729
We weren't allowed
to have sugar except
at the holidays.
363
00:14:56,763 --> 00:14:58,765
So of course,
I love the holidays.
364
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:04,972
[gasps]
365
00:15:04,972 --> 00:15:06,173
Ta-da!
366
00:15:06,206 --> 00:15:11,078
So, we're gonna have
our Buche de Noel
or Yule Log,
367
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:14,214
and it's gonna have
little meringue mushrooms
on the top.
368
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:16,249
This is the cap
of the mushroom,
369
00:15:16,283 --> 00:15:18,885
and then we can do the stems.
370
00:15:18,986 --> 00:15:22,655
After they're baked,
we'll assemble them
with dollops of chocolate.
371
00:15:22,689 --> 00:15:25,658
Okay, now they're ready
to go into the oven.
372
00:15:29,029 --> 00:15:32,232
I add butter
and espresso powder
mixed with vanilla
373
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:33,633
to the remaining meringue
374
00:15:33,665 --> 00:15:35,802
to create
the buttercream frosting.
375
00:15:38,005 --> 00:15:40,473
Mmm, it is so delicious.
376
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:42,709
Andrew's gonna
love it. Mmm.
377
00:15:44,144 --> 00:15:45,478
For our filling,
I'm gonna make
378
00:15:45,512 --> 00:15:48,248
a sour cherry ricotta
whipped cream,
379
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:52,252
and I'm gonna fold in
little mini chocolate chips.
380
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:55,855
It's reminiscent of, like,
a cannoli filling.
381
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,625
Every bite has
some of the filling.
382
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:05,165
When I go
to decorate it tomorrow,
383
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:09,069
it's going to be
absolutely gorgeous.
384
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,574
The key to throwing
a great party,
385
00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:16,076
holiday or otherwise,
386
00:16:16,109 --> 00:16:19,179
is to get as much stuff done
ahead of time as possible.
387
00:16:19,212 --> 00:16:21,748
That's why I'm gonna make
my falafel mixture now.
388
00:16:21,781 --> 00:16:23,083
I'll take to Zoe's,
389
00:16:23,116 --> 00:16:25,118
fry it there along
with my latkes
390
00:16:25,152 --> 00:16:27,587
right before
our guests arrive.
391
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:29,956
The moves here
are pretty simple.
392
00:16:30,057 --> 00:16:31,624
Chickpeas.
393
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,260
I have cardamom and cumin,
394
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:35,262
I have an onion,
I have some garlic,
395
00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:36,563
and some hot chilies.
396
00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:39,132
I have parsley, I have
mint and cilantro.
397
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,070
I love frying falafel.
398
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:45,205
It's perfect
for this time of year
399
00:16:45,238 --> 00:16:46,906
because it's fried.
400
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:49,309
You have to remember,
the whole Hanukkah celebration
401
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:53,213
revolves around the miraculous
intervention of the divine
402
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:56,116
that allowed the oil
in the lamp in the temple
403
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:59,086
to last for eight days
instead of one.
404
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:05,291
So, fried foods are
traditionally a huge part
405
00:17:05,325 --> 00:17:07,094
of the holiday celebration.
406
00:17:18,438 --> 00:17:20,540
Herby chickpea perfection.
407
00:17:20,573 --> 00:17:23,542
Chickpea flour
and baking soda.
408
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:26,479
So the last thing
that I need to do is
stick it in the fridge,
409
00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:27,714
then I bring it to Zoe's
410
00:17:27,747 --> 00:17:29,516
and basically,
then it's nap time
411
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:31,418
until the alarm
on that brisket goes off.
412
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:32,852
[yawns]
413
00:17:38,258 --> 00:17:40,660
[Zoe] This is
going to be insane.
414
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:43,130
We have a lot of food to make.
415
00:17:43,130 --> 00:17:45,132
Andrew already made
his brisket.
416
00:17:45,132 --> 00:17:46,533
Look at that.
417
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,702
[Zoe] And I prepped
the Buche de Noel components.
418
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,405
He should be here any time
and we'll cook together
419
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:55,275
until our guests arrive
in about eight hours.
420
00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:59,179
I know the oven
in gonna be wild.
421
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:03,850
So I'm gonna bake
these dinner rolls
in a Crock-Pot.
422
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,652
I promise you this works.
423
00:18:05,685 --> 00:18:07,487
And they're so simple.
424
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,590
It's just bread dough
with a roux of flour,
425
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:13,260
milk, and water added
to the mix.
426
00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:17,664
And it just makes
for the most fluffy,
427
00:18:17,697 --> 00:18:20,567
beautiful, stretchy bun.
428
00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:22,702
The rosemary...
429
00:18:22,735 --> 00:18:23,770
[sniffs]
430
00:18:23,803 --> 00:18:26,973
just gonna be so beautiful
with the brisket.
431
00:18:27,006 --> 00:18:29,976
Let it rest about an hour.
432
00:18:31,178 --> 00:18:33,813
Then we can divide it
and make our rolls.
433
00:18:34,381 --> 00:18:35,482
Hi.
434
00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:38,351
I'm really excited
to get back in the kitchen
435
00:18:38,385 --> 00:18:40,687
and cook next to Zoe again.
436
00:18:41,221 --> 00:18:42,555
Do you need some help?
437
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:44,357
Yeah, this has to go
right in the fridge
438
00:18:44,391 --> 00:18:46,626
but luckily,
it didn't spill in the car.
439
00:18:46,659 --> 00:18:49,562
All right.
Ooh, it smells so good!
440
00:18:49,596 --> 00:18:52,632
I know her moves,
she knows my moves,
441
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:55,968
we are like hand in glove.
442
00:18:56,002 --> 00:18:57,737
Dude, what is...
What do you...
443
00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:59,206
Are you punching my dough?
444
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:01,208
I did by accident.
445
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:03,643
I assume that you are
gonna take over the oven,
446
00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:06,078
so we're gonna actually
bake them in the Crock-Pot.
447
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:07,714
-No way.
-Yeah.
448
00:19:07,747 --> 00:19:09,048
Doing it in a Crock-Pot
449
00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:11,050
is a genius move.
450
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:13,253
-Okay, so you wanna help me...
-Yeah.
451
00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:15,388
-...break it into
a dozen rolls?
-Sure.
452
00:19:15,422 --> 00:19:16,756
Equal sizes.
453
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:20,560
Actually, you divide,
I'll roll. Yeah.
454
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:21,961
-Classic--
-No, not so much
455
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:24,096
-It's a classic
under-flouring.
-Not so much flouring.
456
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:26,032
No, it wasn't.
That's a classic...
457
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:27,767
Oh, my goodness.
458
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,638
This is gonna be
a long day. [laughs]
459
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:33,139
We don't wanna dry them out.
460
00:19:33,806 --> 00:19:35,808
No, we absolutely don't.
461
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,478
Even when he's in
someone else's kitchen,
462
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:40,247
he's in charge.
463
00:19:40,247 --> 00:19:43,250
You know, I move
around a kitchen
464
00:19:43,283 --> 00:19:44,451
more like a dance,
465
00:19:44,484 --> 00:19:46,653
and he is a little bit
more like a storm.
466
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,656
You wanna pinch all the,
like, little loose ends
467
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:50,823
to the bottom.
468
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,359
-That way you have a nice--
-Dumpling style.
469
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:53,993
-Yeah, dumpling style.
-We have a nice...
470
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,830
This is the classic
fireman's carry.
471
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:59,165
Everyone two by two.
472
00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:01,601
How many buns did we
come up with?
473
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:02,669
I don't know.
474
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,604
I thought we divided them
into 12.
475
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:06,005
I wasn't counting your work.
476
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:07,307
Neither was I.
477
00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:09,542
[laughs]
478
00:20:09,576 --> 00:20:10,643
Okay, that's it.
479
00:20:10,677 --> 00:20:12,779
Then we put the lid on,
480
00:20:12,812 --> 00:20:14,514
and then at the very end,
481
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,016
I'm gonna throw them
into the broiler
482
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:19,952
and give them
some caramelization
and some beautiful color.
483
00:20:19,986 --> 00:20:22,822
We'll check in an hour
and see what we've got.
484
00:20:22,855 --> 00:20:25,458
-That's it?
-Yeah, that's it.
485
00:20:25,492 --> 00:20:27,159
-Amazing. Okay.
-I know, so cool.
486
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:32,332
[Andrew] Zoe says,
"Oh, I'm gonna make
the Sufganiyot."
487
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:35,802
I happen to be a big,
big jelly donut fan,
488
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:36,669
which is what those are.
489
00:20:38,338 --> 00:20:40,740
And she's completely
changed the game.
490
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:42,909
Baking them
as mini Bundt cakes
491
00:20:42,942 --> 00:20:44,977
filled with orange marmalade,
492
00:20:45,011 --> 00:20:47,079
glazed with chocolate ganache,
493
00:20:47,113 --> 00:20:49,749
and then decorated with gelt,
494
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:50,917
the gold...
495
00:20:51,718 --> 00:20:52,652
[mimics explosion]
496
00:20:52,685 --> 00:20:55,187
Hey, just try to
keep it in the bag.
497
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:58,190
[Andrew] If you ask
anyone in America
498
00:20:58,224 --> 00:21:00,026
what's the traditional
Hanukkah food,
499
00:21:00,059 --> 00:21:01,394
you know what
they're all gonna say?
500
00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:02,629
-[Zoe] Latkes?
-Latkes.
501
00:21:02,662 --> 00:21:05,432
-And if you ask
anyone in Israel...
-Yeah?
502
00:21:05,465 --> 00:21:07,434
-...what's the traditional
holiday food...
-Yeah?
503
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:09,068
...do you know what
they're gonna say?
504
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,169
-Sufganiyot.
-That's right.
505
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:11,137
I think that's...
506
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:14,507
[mouthing]
507
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:17,410
[laughs] Oh, dear.
508
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:20,347
This why you left me alone
in the pastry department.
509
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:25,352
This is bringing back
such amazing memories for me.
510
00:21:25,385 --> 00:21:28,855
I loved working
with Andrew in the kitchen.
511
00:21:28,888 --> 00:21:30,156
Mmm, yeah.
512
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:33,460
And then pop them
into the oven.
513
00:21:35,495 --> 00:21:36,596
[Zoe] Yes!
514
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:38,365
[Andrew] Ooh,
that smells good.
515
00:21:38,365 --> 00:21:40,099
[Zoe] It smells so good,
doesn't it?
516
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:43,670
And I forget
the intense energy
517
00:21:43,703 --> 00:21:47,540
that Andrew brings
to a kitchen,
and his passion,
518
00:21:47,574 --> 00:21:49,709
and his love for the food.
519
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:52,044
-I think it's still, like,
super-hot.
-Very hot.
520
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:54,547
-But your hands are tough.
-[Zoe] Hot potato.
521
00:21:54,581 --> 00:21:57,384
My family doesn't consider
a holiday complete
522
00:21:57,384 --> 00:22:01,888
without seeing a big,
orange bowl of whipped
sweet potatoes.
523
00:22:01,921 --> 00:22:04,691
But I started
seasoning them with two
very unusual ingredients.
524
00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:06,258
The first one is goat butter.
525
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:09,896
That sharp, acidic quality
that conventional butter
doesn't have.
526
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:13,265
And, then, I put in
smoked brown sugar.
527
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,102
-Smell that.
-Oh!
528
00:22:16,135 --> 00:22:17,604
-Smoked.
-Brown sugar
went to the barbecue.
529
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:18,871
That's exactly right.
530
00:22:18,905 --> 00:22:20,907
That smokiness
of the brown sugar
531
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:24,911
just goes right in there
and really elevates
the potatoes
532
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:27,547
into that "Wow" category.
533
00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:28,848
You only got one spoon.,
534
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:30,583
Oh, thank you.
535
00:22:31,518 --> 00:22:32,419
Mmm.
536
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:38,725
It is so good. It's perfect.
537
00:22:38,758 --> 00:22:42,462
[Andrew] The sufganiyot cakes
have cooled and we're ready
to top them
538
00:22:42,495 --> 00:22:45,965
with ganache made from
bittersweet chocolate,
heavy cream,
539
00:22:45,998 --> 00:22:48,134
butter, and light
corn syrup.
540
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:50,937
[Zoe gasps]
541
00:22:50,970 --> 00:22:54,607
No, they need, like,
just a little sparkle
to go to a party.
542
00:22:54,641 --> 00:22:56,509
-Some holiday.
-[Zoe] Yes, some holiday.
543
00:22:56,543 --> 00:23:00,580
-And, I think, a little gelt
on top of there.
-[whoops]
544
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:01,881
I know.
545
00:23:01,914 --> 00:23:05,151
So much fun,
and it's beautiful,
and it's celebratory.
546
00:23:05,184 --> 00:23:08,555
-And it's
so Hanukkah, right?
-[Andrew] It's very Hanukkah.
547
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:10,457
-[Zoe] And it's edible
gold, so...
-[Andrew] Yeah.
548
00:23:10,457 --> 00:23:12,058
Also, we got
to use tweezers.
549
00:23:12,091 --> 00:23:13,726
I know. Such a chef move.
550
00:23:14,461 --> 00:23:16,463
[instrumental holiday music]
551
00:23:17,964 --> 00:23:22,769
Okay, so, we have to assemble
the Buche de Noel.
552
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:27,106
I thought that we would
put it at an angle
553
00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:30,677
-and, then, cut this one
in half.
-[Andrew] Yeah.
554
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:33,245
We're gonna glue
the whole thing together
with the buttercream,
555
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,381
-and do one on top,
one on the side.
-[Andrew] One on the side,
556
00:23:35,482 --> 00:23:37,116
so it looks like a fallen log.
557
00:23:40,487 --> 00:23:43,890
-So you wanna get,
like, a swirl.
-Oh, I see. I see.
558
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:47,226
-Like rings of a tree.
-Yes, there you go.
559
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:50,563
I made some meringue
bits and pieces
560
00:23:50,597 --> 00:23:54,266
that need to get assembled
into mushrooms.
561
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:56,869
[Andrew] I am completely
ill-suited
562
00:23:56,903 --> 00:24:00,306
to do any kind of delicate
decor work at all.
563
00:24:00,339 --> 00:24:03,142
And Zoe's
very aware of that,
564
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:07,146
which is why she assigned me
the job of taking
565
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:12,785
two teeny, tiny, little
mouse paw sized
pieces of meringue
566
00:24:12,819 --> 00:24:17,289
and join them with a tiny,
little dot of chocolate.
567
00:24:17,323 --> 00:24:21,160
That's her way of getting me
out of her way,
so that she can do her work.
568
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:23,195
-How's it going over there?
-Stressful.
569
00:24:23,229 --> 00:24:27,033
Yeah, you seem a little...
I'm so surprised,
'cause they're so beautiful.
570
00:24:27,066 --> 00:24:30,637
And, then, like a nice
Jewish grandmother,
she looks over, she goes,
571
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:32,672
"Oh, isn't that sweet.
You did a lovely job."
572
00:24:32,705 --> 00:24:35,074
I know what that's code for.
573
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:38,244
This is not
one of those desserts
that we're gonna go settle on.
574
00:24:38,277 --> 00:24:42,849
A little gold, a little pearl,
luster dust mushrooms,
575
00:24:42,882 --> 00:24:46,553
and some sugared cherries.
I think that should do it.
576
00:24:46,553 --> 00:24:47,687
Where are you going?
577
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:51,724
I think this one
needs a little color.
578
00:24:51,758 --> 00:24:55,327
Little bit of snow. Right?
579
00:24:55,361 --> 00:24:58,765
Just a very delicate shake,
man. There you go.
580
00:24:58,798 --> 00:25:01,033
I'm so proud of this.
581
00:25:01,067 --> 00:25:03,770
A bouche de Noel
to beat the band.
582
00:25:03,803 --> 00:25:05,437
-I mean, come on. Stunning.
-[Zoe] Yeah.
583
00:25:08,575 --> 00:25:09,676
[instrumental holiday music]
584
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:19,351
[Andrew] There are
two seasons for green beans,
585
00:25:19,385 --> 00:25:21,988
-summer and Christmas.
-[Zoe] Mmm-hmm.
586
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:25,592
I thought, let's steam
some green beans,
keep it super healthy.
587
00:25:25,592 --> 00:25:28,661
And, then, of course,
I ruined the whole dish
588
00:25:28,695 --> 00:25:32,732
by making a sage
brown butter
hollandaise, essentially.
589
00:25:32,765 --> 00:25:35,735
But it's the holidays.
You're gonna
work out afterwards.
590
00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:37,837
That's what
New Year's resolutions
are for.
591
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:40,372
Who do you have to know
around here to get bowls?
592
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:42,675
[Zoe laughs]
593
00:25:42,709 --> 00:25:46,478
You could not cut
peanut butter with this.
594
00:25:46,512 --> 00:25:49,415
-What kind of bowl? Here.
-Why do you have so many
serrated knives?
595
00:25:49,448 --> 00:25:52,051
-[Zoe] Goodness, bread.
They're called bread knives.
-[Andrew] Oh, my...
596
00:25:52,084 --> 00:25:55,021
I need to take all these home
and put them on a wheel.
597
00:25:55,054 --> 00:25:56,623
-[laughing]
-How do you cut anything?
598
00:25:56,623 --> 00:25:58,625
[Zoe laughing] I don't!
599
00:25:58,625 --> 00:26:01,427
-Do you wanna know something?
-You are obsessed.
600
00:26:01,460 --> 00:26:04,063
The only sharp knife you have
is a little one.
601
00:26:04,096 --> 00:26:05,464
Because it was lost
in the drawer,
602
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,333
I didn't even know
it was there. [laughs]
603
00:26:09,435 --> 00:26:11,103
[Andrew] This is gonna
start my emulsion
604
00:26:11,137 --> 00:26:14,641
along with a little bit
of mustard and a little
dash of cayenne.
605
00:26:14,674 --> 00:26:15,875
[Zoe] That's a lot of butter.
606
00:26:16,542 --> 00:26:18,277
You're gonna brown that?
607
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:21,648
-[chuckling] Yeah.
-For that amount
of green beans?
608
00:26:21,648 --> 00:26:24,483
-See, everyone loves
the sauce.
-Yeah, mmm.
609
00:26:25,551 --> 00:26:27,453
-[Andrew] The dairy solids...
-[Zoe] Yeah.
610
00:26:27,486 --> 00:26:30,657
...actually get picked up
by the sage and cling to them,
611
00:26:30,657 --> 00:26:32,258
which makes them extra yummy.
612
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:34,927
It smells so good.
613
00:26:34,961 --> 00:26:37,096
Brown is the color of flavor.
614
00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:38,464
[Zoe] Oh!
615
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:47,373
-Mmm.
-[Andrew] And, then, take that
sage-infused butter,
616
00:26:47,406 --> 00:26:51,678
and you pour it
over the eggs and lemon
to emulsify your sauce.
617
00:26:51,678 --> 00:26:53,813
I just think
it's out of this world.
618
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:56,582
It's so, so good.
Oh, my God.
619
00:26:58,685 --> 00:27:00,720
Okay. Okay.
620
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:05,291
-Yeah.
-Okay.
621
00:27:05,324 --> 00:27:08,094
But don't you think
we can just eat that?
622
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,963
-Oh, dude!
-Do you wanna
just sop up a bun with it?
623
00:27:10,997 --> 00:27:12,131
-Yeah!
-Okay.
624
00:27:12,164 --> 00:27:14,400
Oh, the sage! [laughs]
625
00:27:18,004 --> 00:27:19,605
You did not!
626
00:27:20,506 --> 00:27:21,407
Yeah, that's awesome.
627
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,109
All right, onward.
628
00:27:25,778 --> 00:27:30,216
Latkes are the most
essential part
of a Hanukkah celebration.
629
00:27:30,249 --> 00:27:33,152
Well, maybe the menorah
comes first.
630
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:36,923
But right after the menorah,
it would have to be
the latkes.
631
00:27:38,791 --> 00:27:40,626
Are you a latke person?
632
00:27:40,727 --> 00:27:43,930
Oh, yes. My grandmother
was the latke queen.
633
00:27:43,963 --> 00:27:46,098
-Was she, really?
-Yes.
634
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:48,968
She's watching us,
so you better get this right.
635
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,771
Oh, believe me,
the ghost of all
the Zimmerns past
636
00:27:51,804 --> 00:27:54,273
are looking down, as well.
637
00:27:54,306 --> 00:27:56,275
-So everyone has
their favorite style.
-[Zoe] Yeah.
638
00:27:56,308 --> 00:28:00,747
-My grandmother, she loved
crispy potato cakes.
-Okay.
639
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,915
She didn't feel
those were latkes.
640
00:28:02,949 --> 00:28:07,519
-Latkes had to have egg
and matzo meal...
-Yeah.
641
00:28:07,553 --> 00:28:09,822
-...in it to absorb
the moisture.
-Okay. Sure
642
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:13,225
'Cause there needed to be
a pancake-y element to it.
643
00:28:13,259 --> 00:28:15,361
I've played around
with this recipe
over the years
644
00:28:15,394 --> 00:28:18,364
and I steam
Yukon Gold potatoes,
645
00:28:18,397 --> 00:28:19,531
put 'em through a ricer,
646
00:28:19,565 --> 00:28:22,568
couple of eggs,
some matzo meal,
Idaho Russets.
647
00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:25,938
Essentially, three
different ways, grated,
648
00:28:25,972 --> 00:28:29,008
really ground along
with the onions.
649
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:30,242
You have a mandoline?
650
00:28:30,777 --> 00:28:32,678
Okay, yeah.
651
00:28:32,779 --> 00:28:37,416
Okay, so we have grater,
food processor, a mandoline.
652
00:28:37,449 --> 00:28:38,951
You so chefed this up.
653
00:28:38,985 --> 00:28:41,353
[laughing] These
are gonna be
really incredible.
654
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:44,590
Andrew's latkes
apparently require
655
00:28:44,623 --> 00:28:48,895
every single piece
of equipment that I own,
656
00:28:48,928 --> 00:28:52,364
and I own every piece
of equipment.
657
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,466
-What's all this about?
-[Andrew] This is all
of my grated stuff,
658
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:57,403
and I'm just gonna
combine this with the egg
659
00:28:57,436 --> 00:28:59,705
and a healthy dose
of white pepper.
660
00:28:59,806 --> 00:29:02,674
-[Zoe] Do you need
these drained?
-[Andrew] Drained and cooled.
661
00:29:06,378 --> 00:29:08,214
-Hit me, baby.
-[laughs]
662
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:09,949
-[Andrew] Load me up.
-[Zoe] All the way?
663
00:29:09,982 --> 00:29:11,818
-[Andrew] As much as
you can put in there.
-[Zoe] All right.
664
00:29:11,851 --> 00:29:13,685
-So you see
all that moisture...
-[Zoe] Mmm-hmm.
665
00:29:13,719 --> 00:29:16,288
[Andrew] ...that's in there
from the potatoes
and the egg?
666
00:29:16,322 --> 00:29:19,391
-That's where that comes in.
-Okay, how much?
667
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:21,227
-Enough.
-Just a sprinkle?
668
00:29:23,863 --> 00:29:27,699
-[Andrew] When we form these
very delicately...
-[Zoe] Yeah.
669
00:29:27,733 --> 00:29:28,667
-[Andrew] Right?
-[Zoe] Yeah.
670
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:31,037
[Andrew] Look at
all the lacy bits.
671
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:34,841
-Your grandma went through
all this to make hers?
-No.
672
00:29:34,841 --> 00:29:38,310
-I'm just gonna say that
list as many times as--
-She had an old, rusty...
673
00:29:38,344 --> 00:29:39,979
-She had an old, rusty version
of this.
-Exactly.
674
00:29:40,012 --> 00:29:42,314
That's why I brought it.
You didn't even touch it.
675
00:29:42,348 --> 00:29:46,418
Do you wanna know
something that's really
at the heart of all this?
676
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,320
Don't you get asked
all the time in interviews,
677
00:29:48,354 --> 00:29:50,656
"If you could cook
for one person,
who would you cook for?"
678
00:29:50,689 --> 00:29:51,858
Is it your grandma?
679
00:29:51,891 --> 00:29:53,525
-I wanna cook
for my grandma.
-[Zoe] Aw.
680
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:55,862
'Cause she taught me...
681
00:29:55,895 --> 00:30:00,399
I mean, motivate...
I sat in her little kitchen,
and that's what...
682
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:01,667
[Zoe] Yeah.
683
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:04,103
-I mean, I wanna make her
these latkes and...
-[Zoe] Yeah.
684
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:07,073
Then, she'd yell at me
and she'd go like,
"Eh, they're okay."
685
00:30:07,106 --> 00:30:10,176
But, then, she would call
my dad later and say,
"I'm so proud of him."
686
00:30:10,209 --> 00:30:12,912
-It's so sweet.
-And I wanna make her roast...
687
00:30:12,945 --> 00:30:15,281
I wanna make all the recipes
she taught me.
688
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:16,883
-You know?
-Yeah.
689
00:30:16,916 --> 00:30:19,185
And that's... Yeah.
690
00:30:19,218 --> 00:30:20,452
I feel the love.
691
00:30:20,486 --> 00:30:23,856
Latkes, to grandmas...
692
00:30:23,890 --> 00:30:25,391
-It's a big deal.
-...were a big deal.
693
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:28,027
-Big, big deal.
-Yeah, my mom talks
about that all the time
694
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:29,061
with her mom.
695
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:30,963
It's very sweet.
696
00:30:38,104 --> 00:30:39,105
[upbeat instrumental music]
697
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,643
[Zoe] It's been a busy day
getting ready
for our holiday party,
698
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:47,279
and we have
about four hours
until our guests arrive.
699
00:30:48,981 --> 00:30:51,317
The dinner table
is center stage tonight
700
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:54,453
and I'm doing
a really simple tablescape.
701
00:30:54,486 --> 00:30:56,755
I love doing a tablescape.
702
00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,157
It just sets a mood.
703
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:00,326
And this one,
I didn't wanna use,
704
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,661
like, a traditional
cloth runner,
705
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:05,164
so I'm just using eucalyptus.
706
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:09,368
And these actually
just picked right off
of my front hedge.
707
00:31:09,401 --> 00:31:14,740
And, then, what I'm gonna do
is put these little
bouquets of flowers,
708
00:31:14,773 --> 00:31:20,179
and each one
is in an antique
silver vessel.
709
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:21,813
And I've just been
collecting them.
710
00:31:21,847 --> 00:31:24,316
This one is actually
from my grandmother.
711
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:29,255
And, so, each one of these
means something to me.
712
00:31:29,288 --> 00:31:32,258
These one's
a little creamer.
713
00:31:32,291 --> 00:31:36,328
It's so simple,
but it comes together
and it's so elegant.
714
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:38,364
[upbeat instrumental music]
715
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:43,769
I have to send people
home with something
716
00:31:43,802 --> 00:31:46,505
and, of course,
it has to be a sweet.
717
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:49,441
So I thought
it'd be really fun to make
hot chocolate kits
718
00:31:49,475 --> 00:31:52,979
and, then, the homemade
marshmallows right at the top.
719
00:31:52,979 --> 00:31:55,481
[Andrew] And I have to do
toffee matzo for my gifts.
720
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:59,851
-So does everyone
get a mug?
-Yeah.
721
00:31:59,885 --> 00:32:02,154
I'm giving everyone
an old tin.
722
00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:03,990
[Zoe] I made
the marshmallows
last night
723
00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:06,592
and flavored them
with cardamom and ginger.
724
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:09,361
The key here is to get
enough powdered sugar
725
00:32:09,395 --> 00:32:15,534
so that the marshmallows
don't stick terribly
to your cookie cutters.
726
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:17,703
-[Andrew] Hmm.
-[Zoe] And, then, you can do
all kinds of shapes.
727
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:20,006
Do you know what that is?
728
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:21,673
-[Zoe] Brown sugar.
-[Andrew] Correct.
729
00:32:21,707 --> 00:32:24,143
Toffee matzo's really
the easiest recipe
in the whole world.
730
00:32:24,176 --> 00:32:26,012
It's a lot of fun.
731
00:32:26,012 --> 00:32:28,480
I've been eating toffee matzo
since I was a kid.
732
00:32:28,514 --> 00:32:30,616
Aunt Phyllis made it
in our house.
733
00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:32,518
[Zoe] Do you want paper
or foil?
734
00:32:32,551 --> 00:32:36,022
-[Andrew] I'm gonna do
paper, then foil.
-Paper. Oh, got it. Okay.
735
00:32:36,022 --> 00:32:41,560
What Aunt Phyllis did was,
she greased the foil,
then greased the paper,
736
00:32:41,593 --> 00:32:45,297
then put the matzo down
and poured the caramel on top.
737
00:32:45,331 --> 00:32:46,598
Then baked it.
738
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,138
Then brought it out,
and while it was hot,
she put chocolate all over it.
739
00:32:52,171 --> 00:32:54,873
It's gonna get pretty melty
pretty fast. You can almost
see it.
740
00:32:57,709 --> 00:33:00,812
And then, we're gonna
sprinkle the nuts on.
741
00:33:00,846 --> 00:33:03,382
Always toast
your nuts beforehand,
742
00:33:03,415 --> 00:33:05,651
'cause if you just
sprinkle them on top,
the chocolate's...
743
00:33:05,684 --> 00:33:07,386
-[Zoe] Mmm,
smells so good.
-[Andrew] Yeah.
744
00:33:07,419 --> 00:33:08,587
[Zoe] Ah...
745
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:12,558
Okay, this is just
hot chocolate mix
746
00:33:12,591 --> 00:33:17,763
that's just cocoa powder,
sugar, some milk powder,
747
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:22,068
and a little bit
of cardamom
to match the marshmallows.
748
00:33:22,068 --> 00:33:24,970
And they'll float up
to the top when they add
their hot milk.
749
00:33:26,938 --> 00:33:29,075
-It's a great marshmallow.
-[Zoe] Yeah,
it's a great marshmallow.
750
00:33:29,108 --> 00:33:31,510
-[Andrew] Mmm-hmm.
-Ta-da!
751
00:33:36,182 --> 00:33:37,316
[Andrew grunts]
752
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:40,152
-That's enough,
don't you think?
-Let me see.
753
00:33:40,186 --> 00:33:41,587
-[Zoe] Yeah.
-[Andrew] Yeah?
754
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:44,123
Yeah. I want this little bit.
755
00:33:44,156 --> 00:33:46,858
-Mmm. So delicious.
-[Andrew] Fold that over.
756
00:33:46,892 --> 00:33:48,627
But here's the fun part.
757
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:49,961
Doesn't that scream
758
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:51,697
-"You're getting
Christmas cookies"?
-It's so cute.
759
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:54,133
-But you're not.
You're getting toffee matzo.
-It's really...
760
00:33:54,166 --> 00:33:56,202
It's really, really lovely.
761
00:33:56,235 --> 00:33:59,938
I have to say, I think
my greatest move
at the holidays
762
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:03,675
is I adopt the role
of merry prankster.
763
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:06,445
The Christmas tins
are a fun gift for guests.
764
00:34:06,478 --> 00:34:11,783
But I'm beyond excited
about the huge surprise
I have planned for Zoe.
765
00:34:11,817 --> 00:34:13,585
Can I have
some of your scraps
when you're done?
766
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:15,420
-Gonna put 'em on top
of my sweet potatoes.
-[Zoe] Oh, yeah.
767
00:34:15,454 --> 00:34:16,888
That would be delicious.
768
00:34:16,922 --> 00:34:21,793
We have this beautiful, lacy,
almost like a doily
of marshmallow
769
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:23,594
that we can drape
over the top.
770
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,264
Mmm, so cool.
771
00:34:26,297 --> 00:34:28,234
And it's perfect.
772
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:31,770
The marshmallows,
the sweet potatoes,
this lacy bit.
773
00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:33,972
Like, ah, heaven.
774
00:34:34,005 --> 00:34:38,143
Is there anything else
left on this menu
to get done?
775
00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:40,246
-Once we can finish these.
-Oh, my God, yeah.
The brisket.
776
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,649
We have two hours
until guests arrive.
777
00:34:43,681 --> 00:34:45,251
It's getting down
to crunch time.
778
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:49,455
So I just want...
779
00:34:49,487 --> 00:34:52,056
-It's ice cold
and it's this thick.
-[Zoe] Okay.
780
00:34:52,158 --> 00:34:55,393
So a couple of hours in there
just at 200 degrees
781
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:56,962
and, then, we'll get
everything out.
782
00:34:59,465 --> 00:35:02,501
-Don't you think?
-I have to...
I forgot something.
783
00:35:02,534 --> 00:35:04,035
-What do you mean
you forgot something?
-I have to go.
784
00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:05,371
-I have to go.
-What do you mean
you to go?
785
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:07,206
I have to go.
I'll be literally back
in an hour.
786
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,507
All my stuff is ready to go.
787
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:11,042
-Everything is keeping warm.
I have to go.
-Dude...
788
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:13,179
-What do you...
I don't understand.
-I have to go! I have to go!
789
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:15,314
Great. I'll clean up.
790
00:35:15,347 --> 00:35:17,383
-[Andrew] I'm not talking
to you anymore.
-Bye!
791
00:35:17,416 --> 00:35:21,720
We're in the middle
of preparing a dinner party.
792
00:35:21,753 --> 00:35:24,089
I cannot believe
he just left me here.
793
00:35:24,190 --> 00:35:26,091
Yeah, make a mess
in the kitchen and head out.
794
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:29,895
This is the last thing
I have to do,
795
00:35:29,928 --> 00:35:33,199
putting the finishing touches
on my sugar cookie house.
796
00:35:35,201 --> 00:35:37,369
This is my happy spot.
797
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:40,972
So pretty.
798
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:45,411
The really beautiful
part of the holidays
799
00:35:45,444 --> 00:35:47,746
is to give someone a gift
that they're not expecting.
800
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:51,350
Okay.
801
00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:54,353
I had the idea,
let's bring Mom in
for the party.
802
00:35:54,386 --> 00:35:56,021
She hasn't seen her mother
in a while
803
00:35:56,054 --> 00:36:00,692
and you can't have
a holiday celebration without
at least one mom, right?
804
00:36:00,726 --> 00:36:03,329
Okay, I know
you hated me before.
805
00:36:03,362 --> 00:36:05,964
-[Zoe] What?
-[Andrew] But look
what I picked up at my house.
806
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:09,067
Oh, my God, it's taken you
so long. I can't get
this thing out...
807
00:36:10,369 --> 00:36:12,504
[slow instrumental music]
808
00:36:12,538 --> 00:36:16,375
What have you done?
Oh, my God!
809
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:18,310
-Surprise!
-[squeals] What did you do?
810
00:36:21,413 --> 00:36:23,349
I forgot your mom
at my place.
811
00:36:23,382 --> 00:36:25,717
Oh, God.
I hated you so much.
812
00:36:26,718 --> 00:36:28,854
What are you doing here?
813
00:36:28,887 --> 00:36:31,623
-Oh, my God.
-I brought Mom. We can't have
a holiday without your mother.
814
00:36:31,657 --> 00:36:34,660
-Dude!
-I'm so happy to see you.
815
00:36:36,595 --> 00:36:38,264
[Andrew] Yeah. Mazel tov.
816
00:36:38,264 --> 00:36:40,366
[Zoe] This is the thing
about Andrew,
817
00:36:42,368 --> 00:36:44,836
the fact that he showed up
with my mom is just...
818
00:36:45,571 --> 00:36:47,906
[choking up] That's Andrew.
819
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:51,410
He is like...
At the end of the day,
he's all about love.
820
00:36:58,950 --> 00:36:59,918
[instrumental holiday music]
821
00:37:07,659 --> 00:37:09,127
[Andrew] I'm ready
to rock and roll.
822
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,363
-Okay, I have to change.
-[Andrew] What do you mean?
823
00:37:11,397 --> 00:37:13,832
-Don't change.
Please don't change.
-[laughs]
824
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:16,635
-You did a nice job
cleaning the kitchen.
-I love you the way you are.
825
00:37:16,668 --> 00:37:19,638
-Don't change. [laughs]
-I can't believe
you did this.
826
00:37:19,671 --> 00:37:22,207
-I just... You just
are wonderful.
-I know. It's all right.
827
00:37:22,308 --> 00:37:25,444
-Thank you.
This is crazy!
-Yeah, it's all right.
828
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:27,313
[upbeat instrumental music]
829
00:37:29,681 --> 00:37:33,151
-Look at this marshmallow.
That is brilliant.
-[Andrew] Thank you.
830
00:37:33,184 --> 00:37:35,654
Zoe's mom, Lorraine,
is finally here.
831
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:38,390
So, now, we can really get
the party started.
832
00:37:38,424 --> 00:37:40,659
That's so sweet.
I love it.
833
00:37:41,827 --> 00:37:45,997
-This is my homemade
falafel recipe.
-Oh! Beautiful.
834
00:37:46,698 --> 00:37:48,199
This is beautiful.
835
00:37:48,233 --> 00:37:50,235
[sizzling]
836
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:53,705
Then I'm gonna fry my latkes.
837
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:55,674
I'm making these
for an audience of one,
838
00:37:55,707 --> 00:37:58,143
-and that person is standing
in the kitchen with me.
-[Lorraine] Aw.
839
00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:00,846
-Because your mom
was the latke queen.
-Yeah.
840
00:38:00,879 --> 00:38:03,815
Well, my mom, she learned it
from the bubbies.
841
00:38:03,849 --> 00:38:05,116
[Andrew] Yeah, of course.
842
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:09,087
-My bubbies will be thrilled
that someone else...
-Yeah.
843
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,658
-...from another family
is rejoicing in our latkes.
-Okay. Aw.
844
00:38:12,691 --> 00:38:14,125
[speaking other language]
845
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:15,727
-[in English] Everyone's
in the same pool, right?
-Ah, love it. Got it.
846
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:18,930
-Smells like Hanukkah.
-Smells good in here,
doesn't it?
847
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:22,734
-Oh, you look gorgeous. Wow.
-Thank you. You do, too!
848
00:38:22,768 --> 00:38:24,370
[Lorraine gasps]
Is this super-hot?
849
00:38:24,370 --> 00:38:25,671
-Yeah. Super-hot.
-[Zoe] Yeah. Dude!
850
00:38:26,372 --> 00:38:28,139
Mmm. Mmm!
851
00:38:28,173 --> 00:38:29,641
-Yeah, what do you think?
-Okay. I'm in trouble.
852
00:38:29,675 --> 00:38:30,676
Okay.
853
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:31,810
-[Lorraine] Really good.
-All you had to say.
854
00:38:31,843 --> 00:38:34,480
-Don't tell him.
-I'm in trouble
with my ancestors.
855
00:38:34,513 --> 00:38:35,681
[Andrew chuckles]
856
00:38:37,383 --> 00:38:39,585
[Andrew] The guests will
be here any minute,
857
00:38:39,618 --> 00:38:42,220
so now I can start
to top the latkes.
858
00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:47,993
And after two hours
of warming in the oven,
859
00:38:48,026 --> 00:38:50,629
the brisket is ready to slice.
860
00:38:51,397 --> 00:38:52,498
Ah!
861
00:38:53,399 --> 00:38:55,166
Ah!
862
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,803
-I'll cut that for you
in a second.
-[laughs]
863
00:38:57,836 --> 00:39:00,506
-Look at that.
-[Zoe] It's falling
off already.
864
00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:02,140
-Just let me eat it.
-[Andrew] It's not
falling off.
865
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:03,742
[Zoe] No, this one.
866
00:39:03,775 --> 00:39:05,644
-Just this little bit.
-Fine, that's fine.
867
00:39:06,445 --> 00:39:07,813
[Zoe] Mmm, mmm!
868
00:39:08,614 --> 00:39:10,115
-Mmm.
-What do you think?
869
00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,783
Merry Christmas.
870
00:39:11,817 --> 00:39:13,218
-And a happy Hanukkah
to all.
-Happy Hanukkah.
871
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:16,555
Mmm, that is beautiful.
872
00:39:17,423 --> 00:39:20,258
-[doorbell rings]
-Oh! Doorbell.
873
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:22,428
-Oh.
-Keep them out of here.
874
00:39:22,428 --> 00:39:25,263
Dinner is a "help yourself
in the kitchen" affair.
875
00:39:25,296 --> 00:39:28,967
And the goal is to wow
our friends when they walk
into the room.
876
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,569
-[man] Oh, what?
-[Zoe] Hi!
877
00:39:30,602 --> 00:39:32,037
Oh, hi!
878
00:39:32,070 --> 00:39:34,039
-Hi!
-Thanks for having us.
879
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:35,273
[laughing]
880
00:39:36,675 --> 00:39:37,909
[woman] Oh, thank you.
881
00:39:37,943 --> 00:39:39,110
[indistinct conversation]
882
00:39:39,144 --> 00:39:41,713
-Cheers!
-Happy holidays!
883
00:39:41,747 --> 00:39:43,114
[all cheering]
884
00:39:44,483 --> 00:39:46,084
[all] Oh!
885
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:48,153
-[man] Look at that!
-[laughter]
886
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:51,457
-[Andrew] Falafel-dafel.
-[man] Falafel-dafel,
as we should.
887
00:39:51,457 --> 00:39:52,924
-[Andrew] Come, sit down.
-[Zoe] Come on in.
888
00:39:52,958 --> 00:39:54,292
[Andrew] Try a falafel.
889
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:55,927
-[woman 1] Yes!
-[woman 2] Oh, my God!
890
00:39:55,961 --> 00:39:57,563
-Yes!
-[woman] That sauce
is the good one.
891
00:39:57,596 --> 00:40:00,331
It's the good one.
Yeah, it's the spicy one.
892
00:40:00,365 --> 00:40:02,468
-This is great.
-[laughter]
893
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:03,802
Mmm. [smacks lips]
894
00:40:03,835 --> 00:40:05,671
Grab a plate. Let's eat.
895
00:40:05,704 --> 00:40:07,606
[upbeat instrumental music]
896
00:40:10,542 --> 00:40:13,111
-[woman 1] Oh, my goodness.
-[woman 2] Oh, my goodness.
897
00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:14,946
[woman 1] Beautiful!
898
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:18,083
-Yeah!
-[overlapping conversation]
899
00:40:18,116 --> 00:40:19,785
[woman 1] This is gorgeous.
900
00:40:19,818 --> 00:40:21,352
[Andrew] This is
sweet potatoes
901
00:40:21,386 --> 00:40:23,689
with smoked brown sugar
and goat butter.
902
00:40:23,722 --> 00:40:26,658
Steamed green beans
with fried sage
903
00:40:26,692 --> 00:40:30,462
-and a brown butter
sage hollandaise.
-[woman 1] Oh, my gosh.
904
00:40:30,496 --> 00:40:34,666
Those are rosemary milk bread,
but they were baked
in a Crock-Pot,
905
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:37,002
-because we ran out
of oven space.
-[all exclaiming]
906
00:40:37,035 --> 00:40:38,436
[Andrew] Very ingenious.
907
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:42,541
-A brisket with roasted veg,
extra gravy.
-[woman 2] It's beautiful.
908
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:43,875
Oh, potato latkes.
909
00:40:43,909 --> 00:40:45,677
-No, this is too pretty.
Look at that!
-[woman 1] Oh, my gosh.
910
00:40:45,711 --> 00:40:49,815
[Andrew] Apple sauce
and sour cream, creme fraiche,
smoked salmon, caviar.
911
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:53,118
-Go bonkers.
-[man] I'm gonna start
with the latkes. Do you wanna?
912
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:54,620
[woman] Oh, yes, please.
Thank you.
913
00:40:54,653 --> 00:40:56,755
-Oh, my gosh.
-[man] Yum.
Yum, yum, yum.
914
00:40:58,023 --> 00:41:01,159
[praying in other language]
915
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:14,973
[instrumental holiday music]
916
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:16,875
All right. Let's eat.
917
00:41:16,908 --> 00:41:18,610
-Yes!
-That'd be great.
918
00:41:25,784 --> 00:41:32,591
[Zoe] I love watching people
eat something
and have that moment of joy.
919
00:41:32,624 --> 00:41:35,160
That's why I do this.
920
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:39,598
I mean, I love the process
of it, and I had a great time
with Andrew,
921
00:41:39,631 --> 00:41:43,769
but without that moment
of feeding my friends,
922
00:41:43,802 --> 00:41:45,804
you know,
then it's just cooking.
923
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:49,808
This is a great latke.
The edges are so crispy.
924
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:52,644
-So good.
-[Lorraine] Mmm.
The brisket is great.
925
00:41:52,678 --> 00:41:55,747
May I just say,
the table is full,
926
00:41:55,781 --> 00:41:57,616
the house is warm,
927
00:41:57,649 --> 00:42:02,588
but it's the companionship
of good friends that make
these moments special.
928
00:42:02,588 --> 00:42:04,756
[laughter]
929
00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:07,358
-[all exclaiming]
-[woman] And
we're not finished.
930
00:42:08,794 --> 00:42:10,461
We get to eat your house?
931
00:42:11,296 --> 00:42:12,197
Oh, light's on!
932
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:13,799
[woman 1] Oh, my goodness!
933
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,268
[all] Whoa!
934
00:42:17,903 --> 00:42:19,871
[instrumental holiday music]
935
00:42:19,905 --> 00:42:21,907
[indistinct chatter]
936
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:23,609
-[woman 1] Beautiful.
-[woman 2] Yes!
937
00:42:23,642 --> 00:42:27,512
[indistinct conversations]
938
00:42:27,613 --> 00:42:31,016
Being back in the kitchen
with Zoe
and cooking together again
939
00:42:31,049 --> 00:42:36,521
was probably more rewarding
and more eye-opening
than I had ever considered.
940
00:42:36,622 --> 00:42:39,290
She's one of my all-time
favorite humans.
941
00:42:39,324 --> 00:42:41,526
These are the moments
about the holidays.
942
00:42:41,627 --> 00:42:46,097
It doesn't matter.
Perfection is so not
the point.
943
00:42:46,131 --> 00:42:51,269
You know? It's these moments.
It's like, this is the thing
that we're gonna remember.
944
00:42:51,302 --> 00:42:52,838
-Cheers.
-Thanks so much
for having us.
945
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:57,308
-[man 1] To the hostess!
-[man 2] And Uncle Andy!
946
00:42:57,342 --> 00:42:59,477
-[Zoe] Cheers, guys. Cheers.
-Somehow, I feel
that's gonna stick.
947
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:00,946
[woman] Cheers!
948
00:43:00,979 --> 00:43:03,982
-[glasses clinking]
-[Zoe] Cheers!
