I Only Ate Avatar The Last Airbender Foods For 24 Hours

From flaming fire flakes, to Aang's favorite fruit pie, to Aunt Wu's tofu puffs, and even a secret cabbage cookie recipe from the cabbage merchant, I challenged myself to only make and eat some of Avatar: The Last Airbender's most iconic foods for 24 hours. Water, Earth, Fire, Air... at least one from each nation! I spent the last two weeks doing research and prep, so I could try and make a version of each dish that's as in-universally accurate as possible - did we know that each nation's cuisine is inspired by a real life counterpart?! As someone whose comfort show is ATLA, and someone who really wants to do the dishes justice, I really hope you'll enjoy seeing these foods come together - you bet I had the OST playing in the background the whole time.

A very special thank you to Steven and the "water tribe" team at Aquabest (www.instagram.com/aquabestnyc), and also shoutout to Jenny (www.instagram.com/chefjennydorsey) for her fantastic recipes! You can find the official cookbook here: amzn.to/3IF8Bnv

    this is a 30 minute beast, but there’s so much to make, and to talk about!! did you have a favorite, and is there another 24 hours challenge you want to see?
  • @AlexFirst1000
    The different ambient music based on the element of the nation the dishes are from 😮‍💨👌🏼
  • @kweenychick32
    Katara is a chief's daughter lol it's not surprising she has a refined palate. Loved this video! Great work it looked so good!
  • @gastronomee_
    i feel like iroh had the best palate of all the avatar characters...the tea, the duck, everything! love these so much.
  • the sheer amount of research and effort that's gone into this, my jaw dropped. It was almost indulgent and definitely inspirational to watch how much heart and soul you put into your craft. Hats off Inga, big fan!!
  • The fire flakes is very similar to a traditional South Indian snack, we call it "Sandige" in my language. But we don't add shrimp stock to it. We just boil the tapioca pearls with water, salt and cumin seeds, scoop small quantities on a large piece of cloth or plastic sheet and dry it in the sun. Once its completely dried, we fry it in oil and serve it with our meal to snack on the side. Very interesting to see a dish similar to that in your video. Love from India! 🤍
  • @chefjennydorsey
    Omg thank you for these absolutely gorgeous renditions of these recipes!! It was so fun chatting with you about the recipe creation process, thank you for the shoutout and this stunning video <3

    stuffed tofu puffs reminds me of Yong Tau Foo we had in Malaysia where we had fish paste filling instead.
  • @geezlouise420
    25:09 "I'll be making the fruit pies by Monk Gyatso...RIP" did not expect that 😭
  • I've never watched Avatar, but I knew about the cabbage merchant. I didn't know the extent of his losses though!! I'll be eating cabbage for St Paddy's Day tonight, but maybe I'll dedicate that to him instead 😂
  • @rss_ruby
    Inga this is probably my most favorite video you've ever done. I am a big Avatar fan and grew up watching the show, so all the effort you went through for this was really appreciated!! Phenomenal job!!
  • @suchuu8346
    this woman is the epitome of a chef. Amazing attention to the details and research. Love the way she describes food and elements of the dish. Greatly dedicated to cooking♡
  • THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!!! Also I forage for wild mushrooms and morels are a highly coveted mushroom. If you eat them fresh on their own sautéed in butter they have a delicious, rich nutty flavor they are wonderful. I have worked in some fine dining places in the kitchen and your technique and these recipes are absolutely wonderful. I am so obsessed with Avatar, it's my comfort show since I was in foster care as a kid and I still play it to this day. The amount of effort and love you put into this video really shows. <3
  • @szejeantan5212
    This is by far the most interesting cooking video I've watched. I've never thought a TV series inspired food could be so interesting and I definitely want to try out the Taro paste, looks so yum!
  • @Ninanila
    the AMOUNT of flavors coming through my screen is insane... thank you for making this type of content: you give me alot of motivation to cook more complex dishes every time you post a new video <3
  • @FoxyfloofJumps
    Wonderful, A+ use of duck fat! Remaining very faithful to the recipes and the appearance really fits the book descriptions. You're not really wasting anything, and I approve. You get a Fat Foxy Gold Star.
  • @ana_v_t_p
    She just put a video about food in the avatar world taken care of all the details and a well explained experience that I felt that I was eating with her and also she added a special mention to the cabbage guy. I love her ❤
  • sooo much effort goes in these kind of videos…. hats off to your dedication👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
  • @ohkeydokeythen
    My heart broke a little over the whole duck going in the broth instead of just the head feet and bones. And i always thought seaprunes were sea cucumbers. I also assumed the purple thing on top of the airnomad pies was ube pudding
