Learn to cook like a pro one small plate at a time. John Hornick's course of 104 lessons has four segments, easy, medium difficulty, challenging, and the Ultimate Challenge. If you cook your way through this course, you can hold your own against most chefs, but you may eat at home more often because your food will be as good or better than in most restaurants. John has a Chef Ideas playlist, to inspire chefs with new ideas for their menus, and special series, like Japanese Faves (every major type of Japanese food), Italian Faves, French Faves & Julia+ (Julia Child recipes, with a plus), Spain on a Small Plate, Impress Your Date, Sauces to Die For, and Bonus Lessons (like how to break down a chicken or make stock).

Sauces to Die For: Spanish Green (Parsley) Sauce 1
Переглядів 7621 годину тому
This lesson is Spanish Green Sauce, which is parsley based. This sauce is commonly served in Spain with seafood but it’s really versatile, so it can be served with almost anything. This version uses chicken stock because I plan to use it with pork. If I were making it for use with fish, I would use fish stock or clam juice, or a combination, instead of chicken stock. - John Hornick Preparation ...

Spain On A Small Plate: Roasted Red Bell Pepper Ventresca Tuna Rolls
Переглядів 6221 день тому
This is my take on a recipe from a book called “Tapas” published by Paragon Books. My version modifies the marinade or dressing and I use Ventresca. What is Ventresca you ask? Well, Ventresca, which hails from Basque country in Spain, is the epitome of canned tuna. To make Ventresca, tuna belly, which is the prime cut of the fish, is gently poached in olive oil, making it rich, creamy, and melt...
Spain On A Small Plate: Manchego & Jamon Croquette
Переглядів 83Місяць тому
This lesson is Manchego and Serrano Jamon Croquettes. Manchego is a great Spanish cheese and Serrano ham, or Jamon, is found hanging from shop and restaurant ceilings all over Spain. The batter for these croquettes is basically a thick bechamel sauce. Together, these components make decadently gooey ham and cheese croquettes. I use a small dollop of my Okonomiyaki sauce from my Japanese Faves s...
Spain On A Small Plate: Iberico Pork Pluma with Spanish Green Sauce 1
Переглядів 70Місяць тому
Iberico pork comes from black pigs bred to have a higher fat content, which makes it tender, juicy, and guaranteed to impress pork lovers everywhere. It’s kind of like the Wagyu of the pork world (see my Wagyu Beef lesson in my Japanese Faves series. The Pluma is a highly marbled cut from the neck end of the loin. It’s very tender and has great flavor. It’s actually my favorite cut. I provide s...

Smoked Stuff: St. Louis Style Smoked Pork Spare Ribs
Переглядів 6222 місяці тому
Spare ribs are longer and straighter and sometimes fattier than baby back ribs and come from a different part of the hog. I have other lessons on smoking baby back ribs. Some people like spare ribs and some people like baby backs. I like both. Spare ribs need more cooking time than baby backs but baby backs can be cooked for as long as spare ribs. So it really comes down to what you like. I thi...

Made it to go with deep fry shrimp this deep in sauce is very good
Thanks.
oh no, what kosher salt? am I a Jew? Stop this sylonist propaganda! What does Japan have to do with kosher salt?
Do you add any salt?
@@lorenasaenz4406 Because Demi is highly reduced, no salt is used in making it. After it’s made, it is often combined with other ingredients to make the sauce that will be served with the dish. That’s when salt may be added. But not always. For example, I don’t add salt to my GyuDemi sauce. If Demi is used as a sauce without adding other ingredients, salt may be added before serving. But I usually don’t add salt because I don’t think it’s needed.
Thanks Chef!
Thank you chef. UA-cam recommend your video as my search for master midnight dinners pork miso soup. Watching from Marudi Sarawak
Hmmm…. Any Japanese person, chef or not, will have some misgivings about your techniques. You are missing about 10 key techniques that most Japanese people would consider key for this recipe. I’ll just list the most important ones. 1. You overcooked your pork and overstirfried your veggies. This dish would typically call for most of the cooking to happen in the broth not in the oil. 2. Please don’t boil your miso. You will notice a big penalty on the flavor. 3. Most Japanese would skim the foam and fat off the soup. Yours didn’t form much because you spent too much time frying. So a glaze formed between the starches in the pan and the fat, and this emulsified into the stock like a roux. If you prefer your way, I think that’s fine. It’s more like Italian or Chinese or Mexican soup now.
Also usually we say tonjiru. Ton=pork. Shiru =jiru =soup. Again I don’t say this to be mean. Your soup is fine, but I don’t think it’s actually Japanese cuisine.
@@JK-nh6jp Thanks for your comments. I tried to make this dish the way Master made it.
@@JK-nh6jp Thanks for your comments. I was trying to making the soup as Master made it. Sorry for my terrible Japanese pronunciation.
@@ChefsApprenticeJohnHornick I don’t think you did a bad job. But based on the tv show, you can’t see all the techniques. I’m just trying to give some insight to what would be common sense for most Japanese households. Your pronunciation is fine.
Now you are talking! I love ribs and the St Louis style, for me, are the way to go. So many ways to make them as well. Your recipe looked fantastic.
Thank you for the video 😊
👍👍👍
Do you salt the demi before serving?
@@llemmon Because Demi is highly reduced, no salt is used in making it. After it’s made, it is often combined with other ingredients to make the sauce that will be served with the dish.

I've never seen this sauce made without parsley and capers
@@chefaaron77 I’ve seen versions with parsley but not capers.
@ChefsApprenticeJohnHornick interesting
Glutamate is the anion of glutamic acid, an amino acid that serves as an important neurotransmitter and the precursor of GABA, a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain. Cysteine and protamine are semi-essential amino acids, meaning our body can synthesize them, but possibly not in sufficient amounts for health, especially pregnant women, children, and if you are sick or injured. Histidine is an essential amino acid. My takeaway is that kokumi is a natural reward mechanism for consuming foods rich in nutrients that are essential or close to it.
@@jadedmastermind Great analysis!
Hey John -- looks great! Pork, onions, soy products....etc. Must take great too.
I agree to me it seem obvious that the Cat comes from the beginning of the word Katsuobushi. All these articles speculating "why is it called cat rice? Cats like it, cats like fish..." No lol like the word literally begins with kat... obviously thats where it comes from and the word is long so when youre talking in natural language you will shorten it. westerners especially will just say kat rice aka Cat rice
This but with beef stock instead is my favorite
@@nicholasm1162 A great variation!
Nice
Thanks!
Looks great! May i ask, what temperature did you cook in the oven? I also playing with the idea of trying to bake bread in it, is this possible or is 250°C too much for this pot? ThNksfor thisvideo nd best regards from Austria
Sorry for my late reply. Somehow I missed your comment. I set the oven to 350F for this donabe in this lesson. I have not tried baking bread in it.
looks sick, reminds me a lot of korean bbq
It defeated the purpose for not showing how the ingredients were prepared.
boy John, when you have an interest in something, you go all the way. what an experience!
Go big or go home!
Excellent info
Very nice 👍 Subscribe done. 👍👍✅✅👋😊
Thanks!
Great explanation, exactly what I was looking for!
Lol i just got an email from Korin.. now im here seeing if this is something im going to buy haha
Where did you find that little grill?
Korin.com . Search for “konro”. They have great stuff.
Have you heard of Garum made with Kojirice? The 'Noma' way. I am just trying out a few ones...
I have not tried it. Sounds like a great experiment.
It is really hard to start a channel... Please, continue. I already saw new things for me an learned a lot. Thanks
I’ll give you the same advice someone gave me: if you want to start a channel, just start. Don’t wait until you are an expert with the camera, or on camera, or editing. You will learn and improve as you go. Good luck.
Sake is one of my favorite drinks. I would love to try some fresh made Japanese sake in Japan one day.
Thank. Keep an eye out for my upcoming video (in a week or two) called: Daimon: True Hand-Crafted Sake, which is based on my internship at Daimon brewery earlier this year.
Now we are talking John. Loved smoked meats!
Thanks so much. I love Tippsy Sake❤. Great selection and information,
Bravo! Superbly researched and delivered piece unpacking the complexity of sake flavor profiling and the unreliability of depending soley on SMV to guide even dry-sweet choices. That said a boy needs a guide. I've found that TippsySake does a damn good job profiling many of the key dimensions mentioned here, bottle by bottle.
Sorry for my late reply. Somehow I missed your great comment. I totally agree about Tippsy, which is where I get much of my sake.
I giggle when you say amakaze, instead of amazake...😆 2nd time here, and reviewing. I'm having so much fun. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, the mistakes are embarrassing, but thanks for your support.
@ChefsApprenticeJohnHornick not mistakes...just verbal gymnastics that add flavor..
Needs more pepper
I never specify the amount of salt and pepper in my videos because it is so personal. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Good content, but is that a non stick pan that has had the coating blasted from it or a very well seasoned carbon steel pan?
That is an imitation Calphalon pan I have had for well over 40 years. It looks like it, right? It has been my go-to sauté pan for many many years.😊. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Great video. I love you have brought all the Koji sauces together into one and how you used an immersion circulator to keep temp. As these dishes are made from fermentation, is it possible to continue this process by adding more rice/ water etc? or do you have to buy new Koji every time?
Great question. I’ve never tried it. I suspect it won’t work because the proportion of koji to rice may mean that all of the available koji enzymes are used in converting the rice to sugar. But it’s worth a try.
Just getting started with Japanese cuisines....i love the care that goes into it. Its sacred...❤ great video, thanks!
Thanks. I hope you enjoy my Japanese Faves series.
Good job! An underrated channel but the food looks very tasty and you did and excellent job preparing it and making the video. 😋👍
Thank you so much!
This looks like a fun recipe perhaps I will try it in the near future
Could you please stop the igniter from clicking on the other berner please
I was finally able to get the clicking fixed! 😀
Great lesson. I used ox tails and marrow bones which was the most available where I'm at. Being that I didn't want to leave the gas stove running overnight I did everything in 2 crock pots. Browned the bones and the vegetables per the video divided everything into 2 crock pots. Put the crock pots on high till I got the boil then low setting for 12 hours, then warm setting overnight. It worked real well.
Thanks. Yes, finding veal bones can be a challenge. You need to be able to find them locally for it to make economic sense. I found some online but the shipping cost as much or more than the bones! 😝
Store bought Ranch dressing is straight up Garbage…. Cannot wait to try this!
Store-bought ranch is pretty consistent. But ranch is really a base on which every chef can build. I’d love to know what fun you have with it.
Excellent!!
So who started watching this thinking he was gonna cook a cat?
Real cat is optional. 😀
AmaZake, Sir!
Yes, I know. 🙁 I realized the mistake at the time I made the video but couldn’t start over. Apologies for the flub.
Nice to watsh 5 min of you stirring the vegetables
Not to mention the banging banging of the spoon on the side of the pan.
there is no reason to use your hands for mixing when you can use a whisk. unwanted bacteria growth must be avoided in fermented foods. hands are gross.
There is a reason,when the human are healthy as can be in modernity,skin's microbiome are healthy too and full of BENEFICIAL bacterial species,like Propionibacterium,Bacillus subtillis,Bifidobacterium of all kinds and colors,Hands are blessing ,more bare Hands work - more tasty,healthy,quality,tonifying Product, friendly Bacteria can participate a simbios with some species of Aspergillus
Great demonstration. I have been cooking them like this for years ever since I came across “Mastering the Art…”
you can never have too much garlic. I agree
man, this looks so good!
