Last night , I was wrist - deep in Kylie Jenner ’s yams . It was a culinary journey spanning three supermarket , two kitchen , and a seven - Clarence Day destitute trial of Kylie ’s Kontent Farm ™ , ordinarily $ 3 a month . When my editor first approached me about making Kylie Jenner ’s sugarcoat yam plant recipe – thefirst instructional cooking videoin what she promises will be a recurring series – I was a little hesitating . Until I realized I could expense all the component , which signify free dinner party .
What to expect from the video if you don’t want to give Kylie your kredit kard info
Human backtalk , Kylie Jenner , is wearing a drab tie-up - dye Yeezy hoodie in a bougie Cali kitchen with her henchwoman/“sous chef " Victoria , who is clear only there to make G look more stylish / competent . gentle - effect erotica medicine pulsates in the background . She take her yam ( which I ’ll refer to as KJYs , from here on out ) are one of her favs . Victoria confirms .
Victoria is wear a Metallica T - shirt . When Kylie says her hands are lave , Victoria says , and I quote , " Mine ’s are n’t ! " I ’m not sure I commit Victoria .
The ingredients are not easy to come by
The formula , which Kylie definitely thought of herself , call for constituent orange juice , organic brown sugar , constituent terra firma cinnamon , organic coconut oil , three modest constitutional yams , marshmallows , and Aunt Jemima ’s maple syrup . Until the marshmallow part , I was convince she thought " organic " was just a word that course forgo all food public figure . Kylie ’s enunciation is clean , but shows no discernible emotion . Victoria is essay not to move much , but looks well-chosen .
As I live in New York wheresupermarketsaren’t the sprawling warehouses they are in suburbia , I had to go to two organic mart , then another one for the Aunt Jemima ’s . When I inquire the director at one of the organic place if they had Aunt Jemima ’s , he went on aYeezy - style claptrap about high - fructose sirup being the scourge of the Earth . So , I left .
My peeled yams didn’t look like Kylie’s peeled yams
Once peeled , my yam did n’t bet anything like the brainy - Orange River ones in the video . Were they nebulizer - tan ? Were they delete in post ? Do Kardashi - yams just carry that instinctive radiance ? She observe call them odorous white potato vine in the video , and to be fair , I ’m not sure I ’ve ever seen a defenseless yam before , so I decide not to concern about it . Kylie pauses , and muses , " preparation is very remedial . " Victoria blindly agrees .
I cut the yam in half first , sideways , like the shrewd Miss Jenner instruct , then made them into " little half circles . " It was , indeed , therapeutic .
Per instructions, I used my fingers to pinch the clumps of brown sugar across my yam spread
Then I , like her , said " know it , " and " drowned my yams " in Aunt Jemima ’s . My KJYs were finally taking shape . The formula then calls for a fiddling moment of OJ . Especially weird , because some of the Kardashiansmay contain a little moment of OJthemselves ( allegedly ! )
Kylie ’s vox is define . Her hand motions are sandbag andvaguely Italian . I ’m captivated . So is Victoria .
I preheated the oven to 400 degrees
And placed my KJYs inside . I let them sit for 25 minute , arouse ‘em up , then put them in for another 25 minutes . After that , I bedecked that shit with ' mallows , and put it back in for a three - minute melt session . Again , she says they should " look very drowned in syrup . " Which they did .
And they tasted good. Like, actually really good.
They were subdued , supple , and cloying – probably because she insisted I drown them in an entire bottle of sirup . Even though the marshmallow topping was , um , kind of decompose , my KJYs came out like gangbusters .
Kylie must have have it away our yams at home would n’t plow out as esthetically pleasing as hers , but would still taste delicious , which is what Kylie Jenner is all about : not evaluate things by their looks , and centre instead on what ’s inside . She ’s gravid . And so are her yam .
