I wanted to cook something extravagant for the holidays, so I spent a few days making prime rib and some really fun side dishes, like 15-hour potatoes, creamed spinach, horseradish cream, and creamed corn.

Merry Christmas, thank you all for watching.
i mean dont get me wrong, i love cooking and it itself is a kind of art, but that combined with the camerawork, setting up the shots focus, editing and all just fills me with joy every time. truely a work of art
And the music!
100% agree
How could that be taken wrong?
@supermdmamazing the internet is a scary place my dude.
@Alex Shang Well and truly
The camerawork in this video is amazing
That shot of you cutting the spinach at 09:32 is absolutely beautiful!
The Colours!!
I was thinking: Now that would make a great wallpaper for my screen. 🤣
@LBellatrix I would absolutely love to have that as a wallpaper. Those colours were awesome in combination with the slight pattern in there.
It was! I had to pause and just appreciate lol
The shot of the chopped, steamed spinach was absolutely too beautiful. You’re some kind of gastronomical warlock.
that color grading was off the charts 👌👌
for real, that was a BEAUTIUFL shade of green
Its my background screen now.
That could be a NFT.
Alvin your videos are so beautifully shot and edited, mixed well with your music, very well done. I know they’re time consuming and that life gets in the way but you’ve got such a following already. I highly encourage you to please continue to create these amazing cooking videos as they’re not only informative and inspirational but relaxing as well. Thank you for inviting us all into your kitchen and sharing your gifts with the world.

Alvin, I don’t know what you could possibly be cooking that would take 6 months, but I’m sure it will be amazing! Seriously though, I hope you are well. Come back soon. :)
Yea
He mostly does collabs on other cooking channels. This is sorta like his side gig i think
He’s now hired with Binging with Babish! Hopefully he comes back to this channel to do these kinds of videos though.
Yea 2 it’s been pretty fire so far
did he left Tasty?
Alvin, you were so importante during my pandemic life. Your videos bring me peace and satisfaction. Hope you’re well. Miss you. Thanks for your art and love.
Same for me! I really miss those calm and relaxing videos
I miss him so dearly, we need him more than Babi does 😢
Importante lmao
What does he do now?
I’ve heard Alvin’s voice plenty of times in the various different online series’ he’s been in, but the little noises he makes in these videos just hits something different. They make me unreasonably happy.
My Christmas wish this year is for another one of your videos, please! :)
The food, the artistry, the aesthetic, the music, it all marries so well and seriously just brings me (and clearly so many other people) so much joy. I’ve watched your latest video closer to when you posted it and I have been itching for a new video ever since. No pressure and I CANNOT wait for your next one! Warm regards, Alvin!!
I love how in all the channels he cooks on, like tasty or binging with babish he always does the most extravagant things, but here its just calm and peaceful.
He’s on other channels?
look at this guy who doesn’t think this meal is extravagant, must be nice
@Danomyces i dont think you quite understood my point
This 10,000 hour salad is gonna be 🔥 🔥 🔥
fr fr
Pretty sure it’s been like 15,000 now
yep should be crazy though
LIKE IKR AND THE 13752 HOUR MAC AND CHEESE IS GONNA BE LITTTTTTT
dude, I can’t wait for the 15,000 hour dumplings
I really love your videos here, everything is so chill and smooth, love your camera work. It feels kinda sad that there is still no new video :(
Righttttt I kinda miss him God bless him
he’s on babish but be concerned for there will be a time when the next video comes,and it shall be a long video
Man, even though it’s been over a year, these videos will never cease to be special to me. Thank you for your amazing cooking :)
I cannot explain the peace these videos bring me, thank you for igniting my love for cooking, and helping me appreciate the serenity of making art alone, you truly are a good man, Alvin.
These videos make me so happy and at peace, I hope you post more on this channel soon! These videos feel just like a hug
I really hope this year long apple pie turns out great when you post the video ❤
Come back soon Alvin we all miss your calming cooking sessions😢

I hope you’re enjoying whatever you’re doing nowadays Alvin and if its better than YT then KEEP DOING IT. We’re happy that you were able to share with us everything you did :)
He’s on binging with babish on YT btw.
Alvin, are you planning on doing any more of these? They are not only peaceful but ASMR gold!
Those three jars perfectly fitting into the potato cooking dish to weigh them down proves Alvin lives in an alternate dimension of aesthetic perfection
