    You've really come a long way and I'm full of admiration. I think this recipe shows the difference between Julia and the restaurant cook book; Julia's recipes may be complicated but they are doable by one person with an amount of preparation. These French Laundry recipes are for a working kitchen, where you have several people working on the vegetables, etc. to get it ready. One dedicated guy doing nothing but making vegetables brunoise.

      Poached = "Slowly cooked in a liquid that isn't boiling"
      It's one of the easiest cooking techniques to pull off. If you can keep the liquid at a somewhat steady temperature near the goal temp. Sous vide is basically poaching. Benefit of doing it is preventing things from overcooking (in meat mostly). The liquid simply isn't hot enough to accomplish that.
      Of course it's still not very easy to master if you're looking for something extremely specific. Nothing to be afraid of though.

    the lobster part is always a bit hard to watch, thank you so much for making it skippable. There is a channel with a guy who decided to buy a lobster from the grocery store and keep as a pet (named him Leon) and just by watching how long it took the lobster to recover its strength and energy, you bet those animals are in a really bad state health wise (malnourished, weakened from being in a cramped space and unable to move their claws etc) when you see them in those tanks in stores. So killing it quick and swiftly is an act of mercy at that point. But yeah. Still difficult to watch. This is still a great video!

    You're definitely helping me to understand why these fancy things get popular. A lot of them, I see people tasting them who are getting paid to smile at the camera, and I have no idea if they actually like it or just think they're supposed to like it, but here I see your face light up as you process the new flavors and I know it must actually be good. I mean, I still think a lot of fancy expensive food consists of just adding truffles and caviar and gold leaf as an excuse to jack up the price without really making it taste any better, but there's also chefs who put insane amounts of effort into maximizing flavor and texture combinations to make food that is actually both original and delicious and an actual experience, and it's cool that Chef Thomas Keller is actually advancing the field of gourmet food and giving us recipes to try (albeit at great effort) at home.
    Tiny nitpick (that could very well be wrong, since I don't have the book and don't know what it actually says about the procedure), I think that maybe you were supposed to make one big sheet or circle out of the potatoes, so that the outer edge might be overcooked but the rest would be perfect. At least, I think that makes sense given that you said you were originally supposed to break off a piece to top the lobster.

      Have you ever tried this kind of food before?

    • @tildessmoo
      @tildessmoo Рік тому

      @@bubblegumplastic Nope! Like most of the world, I'll probably never have enough money to justify dropping that much on a single meal, and I've not had a kitchen sufficiently to myself to make even something that's expensive more because of the technique than the ingredients in over a decade. (At least I'd just be in my roommates' way now; I've had to live without a kitchen altogether before.) I have tried many of the individual flavors common in fancy food on rare occasion, like truffles and caviar (and lobster, but that's not exactly on the same level of expensive, especially where I live), and I'm certainly familiar with most of the flavors that went into these first two French Laundry videos. I can imagine from my own cooking experience (mostly at home, some professional) and knowledge ( _far_ too many cooking videos, cookbooks, and food science articles) how the flavors and textures would both complement and contrast to make something wonderful (I hesitate to say "synergize" given its buzzword cliche, but it would be a good word in this context), and I only wish I could actually taste it. And I've had a few of the kind of huge many-small-courses meals of the sort that the best restaurants have, from taking part in large family gatherings that serve meals that way (as opposed to America's buffet-style* or the Korean and Japanese style of giving you all the little dishes in a few big batches), which due to people figuring out what works best over centuries of tradition do also have the sort of synergy between consecutive courses that the fanciest restaurants strive for in their tasting menus (well, somewhat, anyway).
      Other examples of fancy cooking do seem to use things like caviar and truffle more to drive up the price than to improve the food, from what I've seen. Caviar is nice and all, though I don't think it's usually worth the price unless you've got more money than you know what to do with; but you can tell that Chef Thomas used it thoughtfully: tiny soft pearls to contrast the larger chewier tapioca pearls, a bit salty and a bit sweet to help bridge the oysters to the pudding , rather than just dumping some on top because it's fancy so it should have some caviar. Truffles are unique enough that I can see where the price comes from (besides the difficulty in harvesting them, I mean), but they have a very strong flavor, to the point that when you see someone in a cooking or restaurant video shave a full half ounce on top of the dish, it probably just undoes all the effort that went into blending flavors and turns the whole thing truffle-flavored. If you've ever seen someone shave a couple grams into an omelet or put literally five drops of truffle oil on a plate, that's actually a good use of it, because anything else is too much, and you're actually spending more money for worse food. I actually look forward to seeing if Chef Thomas has any recipes in the book with truffle and Jaime tries it, because from what I've seen from these last two recipes, they'll be used in a way that actually enhances the flavors instead of drowning them out.
      *EDIT: I mean to say, I'm contrasting the ways of serving I see at most American parties with the kind I see at parties put on by people close enough to their European (mostly Southern Italian) ancestors to still have some connection to that culture. Didn't mean to sound like I'm not American myself.
