Max usually belongs behind the camera. Nisha brings him around to the stove in "The one dinner every guy should know how to make.", giving a less-experienced cook responsibility for a date-night dinner, with guidance close at hand.
The dish is creamy orzotto with roasted carrots and fennel, finished with pine nuts, parsley and fennel fronds. There are useful little lessons tucked into the banter: give the vegetables room so they roast rather than steam, soak the orzo before cooking, and stir white miso into a little hot water before adding it to the skillet. Cashew milk, nutritional yeast and vegan butter help build the creamy finish.
Nisha's opening invitation extends to "every gal" too, despite the title. Max supplies the novice's perspective, and his verdict after cooking is straightforward: "It was definitely easier than I expected." Viewers keep asking for more appearances from him; others single out the explanation of how to manage without a mortar and pestle.
The upload has reached about 120,000 views and is the channel's busiest individual video right now. October's cabbage soup and September's "What We Eat In A Week: Feel-Good Meals" also continue to draw viewers, keeping practical everyday cooking alongside the date-night plate.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while daily channel views are now more than double their usual level. That rise extends well beyond this single dinner tutorial. For Nisha's newest lesson, though, the distinctive ingredient is Max doing the cooking rather than filming it.

I actually prefer my fennel sliced to 5/16” but I guess this is okay too

@MAC-op5fcSee it on YouTubeI would have loved to see split screen with each of you making the dish on your own just to see if Max could make the dish well with just the recipe.
