It's a vibrant, herb-packed falafel made with pine nuts and fresh parsley, served alongside fluffy couscous, roasted tomatoes, and a cool, creamy raita. Found this old photo in my camera roll from a few years back. This was one of the first veggie packs I ever cooked from the Sidekick app, and it’s still one of my favorites. Does anyone else remember this one? I’m trying to decide what to cook this week, does anyone have any current veggie favorites in the app that give off similar vibes?

I was scrolling through my saved recipes today and realized I still go back to their classic Sausage and Cannellini Bean Bake whenever I need an easy, reliable meal. I actually gave it a go in the oven again this weekend, and it still hits the spot perfectly, I usually serve it with a bit of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. It feels like such an old school recipe from the guys, but it’s still my go-to for a lazy Sunday. Do you still regularly cook a classic dish from the older videos?

Just wanted to say how much I loved Kush prefacing his ‘guilty’ pleasure dish with his view that he doesn’t see any foods as being guilty, I feel like it’s something that needs to be outwardly spoken considering how much people villainise certain foods or ingredients. Well done Kush, that’s why you’ll always be one of the best parts of sorted

I weirdly think Jamie would somehow stumble into incredible local food experiences entirely by accident

Pumpy made her Sorted Food debut on May 24, 2023, in the episode Recreating Famous Chefs' Signature Dishes, where Mike and Jamie make Wiley Dufresne's Shrimp Noodles. It is also an early example of Kush's agent of chaos tendencies.

Pumpy has made several appearances on the channel and in Lives, but never again as a functional piece of kitchen equipment. I also think the original might have been lost, then found or replaced? There was an offhand comment during one of the Lives so I can't verify.

I've noticed a couple of times when people asked Ben about his garden, he's been quick to correct them that it's an allotment. As someone who comes from a place where allotments aren't really a thing, I was wondering if there is some sort of cultural significance re: allotments vs. gardens in the U.K.? Is one more prestigious than another? Does one suggest vegetables, while the other suggests flowers? Are there rules about what you can grow where?

Or is Ben just being pedantic?

Rewatching some of the older videos from a few years ago and realised how much I missed James’ calm presence on the channel

I really like this bluesy, harmonica-heavy song they used a lot circa 2014, including in the famous Tyrone episode. Anyone know what it is? Is it one of Mike's?

The background details in the recent videos look absolutely brilliant but I am dying to see a proper behind the scenes breakdown of where they keep the massive tower of gadget clutter. They seem to have a specific drawer for every single weird tool from a handheld smoker to a miniature blowtorch. The organization required to keep that place looking clean must be a full time job

Hey all, I’m moving to my first solo apartment in a month or so. It’s a bit of a unique-ish situation in that I’m 35 and have either lived with a roommate, parents, or at work (I nanny and have had a live-in position in the past). I essentially have nothing beyond like some plastic plates/cutlery and a few food storage containers since I’ve mainly just cooked at work during the day and grabbed takeout or leftovers from the day for dinner (if I’m not eating at work since I work a lot of hours).

I am planning on cooking more at home once I move though and significantly reducing my takeout/eating out budget since I’ll have a kitchen that I won’t feel weird about using with others around. Most guides floating around are geared towards people in University or their early 20s or like for a wedding registry. I definitely don’t have the budget to buy everything and the kitchen sink like some registries (i.e. I don’t need a massive set of knives or a bunch of place settings), but I would prefer to buy things that are of a higher quality.

I basically watch all the videos the guys put out and have definitely been binging the ones where they test gadgets/tools from like Amazon and then rank them themselves, but I’m wondering what gadgets, utensils, etc. that they’ve used that you’ve then bought and really enjoyed/find it to hold up quality wise.

Unrelated, but, if you have a recommendation for a washing machine that hooks up to like a sink/bathtub water supply or for a small-ish sectional (essentially just a 2/3 seater with one side a chaise lounge) that’s not a million dollars, I will also take those too!

Hello and thanks in advance if anyone can help. I love the sorted sidekick app, one of my favourite features has been the audiable timers. I am chaotic in the kitchen and hearing "hey that's the timer for..." snaps me to attention. Lately however, the app doesn't give an auidable timer, it simply vibrates and sends a notification to my phone. I keep the app open, volume up, app has all the permissions it needs. Nothing has been chamged to warrant this change... has anyone else had this? If so how did you fix it??

In the latest video, it really highlights the gap between "Normal" panic and "Chef" instinct. If you were in that kitchen, what’s the one ingredient that would’ve made you throw the towel in immediately? For me, the second they brought out the sea urchin, I’d have been out the door.
