    I hope Kendra knows that her struggle made this THE MOST INTERESTING video in this series to date. I think us viewers learn more the more you struggle 😂❤
  • @alandrine203
    Giving me flashbacks of Claire's Gourmet Makes trial and error.😅😅 Love Kendra by the way! She needs a series something like this.
  • This needs to be a new series ASAP ! Great talent, great style of video, great food content and very much repeatable. Kendra's 10/10
  • @QB.113
    Excellent video. Felt personally invested in this lemon bar journey
  • @Terenia531
    To avoid having your crust float on top of your filling while baking, press your crust down and into the side of the pan immediately after taking it out of the oven while still soft and hot. The crust shrinks when it bakes and it’s an easy way for unset filling to seep under. Also, in order to get a smoother surface on the surface of the lemon filling, pop the bubbles quickly with a kitchen torch before placing into the oven if you’re bothered by it.
  • Closest thing to Gourmet Makes and I’m so HERE for it!!! More Kendra trial and error please!!!
  • Had the issue of 'un-lemony' lemon bars when I last tried these. Found a novel fix: blitz citric acid crystals into a powder and mix it into the sugar dusting (the mixture is basically lemon sherbert). Every bite starts with a sharp lemony hit before that creamy, fragrant baked lemon flavour comes through.

    You got the job by taking creative risks and willing to make mistakes...that to me is a great chef.
  • @lillyess385
    The last time I made lemon bars, I decided to halve the sugar because I thought the amont was ridiculous. Yeah, that was a bad idea. The lemon bars turned out so tart, it made people's teeth ache. 😂
  • @Syveril
    LOVE the failures; I feel like that's what made watching the whole video worthwhile. Very excited to try the final recipe.

    "How did she get this job" Me: "Well back in 2020...." 😂

  • @jkromes20
    My grandma used to make lemon bars occasionally and I loved them. Can’t remember the last time I had them. I’m gonna bake some in her honor ❤
  • @dkmarianah
    Thank you for the honest journey!! I'm inspired to make this and feeling excited!
  • MORE OF THIS. Kendra is fun to watch and I really miss this sort of recipe development content. Also love that Cheis Morocco dropped in.
