I still remember the first time i had fillet beef wellington. A friends brother was an apprentice chef in training, and had invited several people to a dinner party at his home. I was lucky enough to be included. The meal was the wellington, fondant potatoes, and a serving of perfectly grilled asparagus. Almost everybody cancelled, but the food was pretty much all done. I have never eaten so well in my entire life. Believe me when I say that I was never so happy that nobody showed. The chocolate mousse that finished the meal was exquisite . The chef, who had worked so hard on that meal told me later that he was happy that most had canceled , because with me there, he wasnt sure he had made enough. He was awesome. Thank you, Chef. Good memory......
Dive in, make it. Cooking something crazy you have never done before is fun, screw it up, get better and have a good time doing it... btw this dude just helped me with the "How to clean and tie a beef tenderloin like a pro" video... I owned Christmas dinner this year because of that...
@Greg Wessell oh i love to cook all sorts of new things. I just will most likely never make this dish. It doesn't interest me. But, the chefs instruction was very captivating.
It may seem like a cliché, but no. The French have a natural gift for cooking and take any recipe to a much higher level. I have been studying different beef Wellington proposals on UA-cam and, the truth is that chef Jean-Pierre has won my admiration, for his self-confidence, for his grace, for the harmony of his recipe and because he makes viewers feel comfortable and capable. to prepare any recipe. He is a warm chef, close to the public and very folksy. Congratulations for your channel. I hope to continue discovering the flavors of the world with you.
38:20 Hi and Happy Holidays!! I can say that this dish smells and look amazing… I truly can say that I love to cook good food and keep my family happy….Not only does the different mushrooms and shallots make it smell so wonderful but the seasons such as thyme and rosemary just takes it to another notch…A great dish besides Turkey for our dinner was a great choice… Thanks for the recipe and again, Merry Christmas to all…❤❤🎄🎄🎁🎁🙏🙏🙏 I really hope that Santa Claus gives/ gave you all that you want…. I can truly say that I got the best blessings because he woke me up, blessed me with awesome food and have my love ones smiling for the presents from the Lord….As I have learned, never spend more than I can handle because life must still go on…With that being said because we are living in trying times so I will always thank my Lord for everything and all people that are here with us during this beautiful holiday!!!!Thank you Lord and Savior!!!!!!🙏🙏💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎁🎁
Just wanted to thank you chef. I spent 4 hours in the ER with my son and he wanted to watch you prepare this while we waited to hear his CT scan results. He's fine but in a lot of pain. We watch your videos together, but you helped comfort him tonight when he needed it. So thank you.
He reminds me so much of the iconic Julia Childs, who never let a mistake go unglorified and without laughter 😃 ! As she famously said, " Who's to know?" We loved the cooking accidents and her !
@@ChefJeanPierre so when you say clarified butter, would Ghee work? That I've got on hand pretty much any day. The other stuff (of clarifying butter on my own) not so much...
This has been the most stressful Christmas of my life, as I am not an expert cook but in an attempt to impress my in-laws, I decided to make beef Wellington and I cannot stress enough how grateful I feel to this chef by sharing his wisdom and knowledge. , officially the only chef I will follow because he is genuine, original and fun and because I found him at the precise moment when I needed the perfect recipe, the result was amazing I'm still in shock how good turned this recipe
As a chef for over 30 years, this is an outstanding demonstration and technique. He makes it look so simple he is at the top of his craft, really enjoyed watching your videos chef
I made this for my wife, son and daughter-in-law three weeks ago. I invited just family because I don't like to try out a new recipe on friends in case anything goes wrong. In the end, it was spectacular! This was a two-day event with me making some ingredients (as recommended) the day before. It pretty much took me all day to make it, including the recommended time in the refrigerator at several points. I watched the video twice, taking notes, to be sure I understood all of the techniques. Several steps (e.g., making crepes; use of puff pastry) were completely new to me. Often when I put in a lot of time and effort on a meal, it seems a little disappointing at the end because of the amount of time and effort involved, but not the case with this one. Everyone was blow away by the amazing flavors combined in this dish. It was truly a special treat! I will not hesitate to make this again in the future. I have more family members to invite, and then I'll move on to my closest friends. (It is not something I would make casually, so only my favorite people in the world will be in the invite list.) Can't wait until next time!
2 years later, what all recipes have you tried from chef, and what are your favorites? I just discovered him not to long ago and he has inspired me to start cooking, making his eggnog cheesecake for this holiday season as my first thing.
I made the perfect Wellington on my first try, I read recipes and watched videos for about 20 days, and then I got blistering drunk and winged it. Worked out great.
No lie, I've watched over 50 beef Wellington videos in the last 48 hours. This one was the longest but the most educational. The way I gasped with that final cut!!! Worth every minute! I will dream with this tonight. Thanks chef!
Amazing, just amazing. When he cut that meat with a knife it cut just like butter and I just drooled. I watched it melt right on the screen. Great job!!
This channel is so real. It's made me a much better cook. Chef JP hits snags in the kitchen and shows how a professional chef overcomes them, which is half the battle for us home cooks. When he said, "the worst part is over" I cracked up. Definitely going to try this.
Likewise, Chef JP is a wonderful teacher with his love and passion he is so contagous (funny word these days) that I find myself thinking "what would he say?" when I am cooking (and messing things up ;-)
Yep. Chef JP has taught me SO much. I make the best chicken parma now. Better than the restaurant I used to go to. My family force me to do it and now I'm beginning to teach them and also lead them to watch Chef JPs vidyos. :P
This is not only the first chef I could follow but also the first I wanted to. Everyone else made Beef Wellington look like some sort of super-secret magical dish that mere mortals should not dare to touch. For the first time in my life I feel like I could actually try my hand at Beef Wellington.
People, this is a great Chef cook. I graduated as a culinary cook in 1992. Everyone, please do not deviate from this master. If you do, don't blame him if your meal comes out bad. But... experiment to your own taste. Experience is what makes a great Chef! Chef Jean, thank you for all the wonderful dishes!
Chef Jean-Pierre reminds me of my French grandmother "Moulie" that we lost about 2 years ago. It reminds me of her and i get to enjoy watching some wonderful cooking. Thank you for both.
This is the best cooking channel on UA-cam by far! I love how chef keeps it so casual but at the same time makes the most amazing version of each dish.
His personality really makes it. But the dude can also create some masterful food. I would love to have a slice of that Wellington. It looks fantastic. Very smart man.
Formidable! Quel professionnel expérimenté! Je suis Française et vit aux USA depuis des années et je n’ai pas cuisiné de Wellington depuis plus de 20 ans! Des amis Américains souhaitent goûter ça et n’ont demandé de le préparer pour un dîner ensemble. J’ai trouvé votre recette et votre chaîne UA-cam .. et me suis abonnée car vous êtes un excellent chef avec une personnalité franchement agréable! Merci beaucoup pour la recette classique traditionnelle. Keep doing the good work chef! Happy thanksgiving!
The first chef, ever, who talks about the consumer cost, of a certain list of ingredients. Chefs get whatever they want to cook because they sell for a profit…while most common cooks don’t have such a lavish income when cooking for the home. Thanks for being able to replace the herb, cauze I don’t like tarragon but anything else is fine. A new cook would be amazed how much mushroom shrink…I cook them a lot. Will have to try this.
I found this by accident & I am so in love! For a southern woman who’s love language is FOOD…this is heaven. JP is helpful, honest, entertaining & polite. Not a narcissistic a-hole like many haute cuisine chefs (yes I’m thinking of chef Gordon). THANKS so very much! I’m a follower & fan for life! 😊
There are many good masterchefs but like most did mention is Jean-Pierre not only a good chef but also has the talent to make a perfect guide and he explains things perfect. Beside that he is very kind and proofs you don't have to scream to make a amazing good program. Thanks for the videos!
I detest all the you tube chefs who yell and make loud noises doing anything! I don't know how they make so much noise mincing onions. This masterchef is fabulous.
When I made my first beef Wellington I was an overconfident yet undereducated home cook. It was a disaster. I have learned, and prepared it successfully later on, but how I wish I had a teacher like you back then. Absolute masterclass.
The joy i get from watching John pierre is " a-ma-zing" His personality is so contagious, and has such a wide span of culinary knowledge and is willing to break everything down step by step so even "a child could do this"...i hope you never run out of recipes so you can make more wonderful videos for years to come 🙌
We made your Wellington recipe for our main course for New Years. It is foolproof. The preparation while involved is simple since we were able to do a lot of it in advance. Your on air personality makes cooking enjoyable and it shows that you are an excellent teacher. Thank you
We also made your Crepes Suzette recipe too (since I made crepes for the Wellington, I also made sweet crepes as well) and it was a delicious ending to our New Year's dinner. (It looked beautiful and tasted delicious!) Thank you for your fun and awesome instruction!
@@cherylhilton3833 The doe looks a bit too wet. Try Breadcrumbs like in this video. This is also a very good cook ! ua-cam.com/video/5RWXPZmrIaE/v-deo.html
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine making Beef Welington! Really there are no words to express my gratitude to you Chef. Thank you Chef for bringing family dinner back to my home, meaningful and without cell phones. (and for teaching me how to prepare mushrooms so I can finally make them taste "amazing")
dude, your mixture of classy french, no-bullshit New Yorker or wherever, and seasoned kitchen veteran all come out of your personality in equal measure. I sincerely enjoyed this entire video. Also, great editing. Loved the "or maybe I'll just cut all the way through" edits.
This recipe worked like a charm. I bought the whole tenderloin, used the center cut for this recipe and partially froze the rest to slice thin for the best cheese steaks I ever ate. Thanks again, Chef!
I cooked this last Christmas Eve for my family following his recipe and guide. It was a Total success, my family loved it so much I have been given orders to do it again this year 🙂 for even more people so I will need to make 2 of them.
You made me feel very capable of making Beef Wellington… I never fast forward through your videos because you’re a very entertaining teacher and hold everybody’s attention while they are learning… You’re a true gift to the cooking industry
It is 3 a.m. here. I just woke up. I've been developing a Wellington and a stew in phases for 1.5 days already, between birthday and holiday parties. 😅 I should probably not be cooking right now, but I'm a little obsessed, and I'll probably sleep after I finish the duxelle and the pan sauce. Thx chef 😴👍...
@@ChefJeanPierre also, that trick with the egg white is very good, but I was a little surprised that it didn't cook immediately on the hot mushrooms. I'm also gonna save the egg yolk for basting the crust, then finish with some of the herb salt that seasoned the beef.
Chef, I made your beef Wellington and it was the most delicious piece of beef I have had in my entire life and everyone invited agreed,. In fact, everyone called the next day to tell me thanks again for the invite and this was 80% because of the meal. I give myself 20%. That mushroom sauce...the best I have ever had and I had made your beef stock and included that in the recipe...Perfection! I think it is better to eliminate some of the water to thicken...Oh my Gosh! Heavenly!
I'm a butcher: I love that Chef tells you not to buy the briand, instead buy the whole fillet and prepare it yourself. the difference in price is insane. A centre-cut, larder trimmed fillet will cost upwards of 75 quid in England right now. A whole fillet will cost you 35, if that.
on a smaller scale, it's much less expensive to buy a whole chicken than it is to buy boneless skinless breasts here in the US, plus you can make chicken stock with it
@@iconoclast137 yeah the same economics apply - the more work the producer has to put in, the more it will cost you as a consumer. always buy a whole chicken.
@@mothermom5329 Thanks for the question, it give me the opportunity to learn another English word. In French it is called "a la crapaudine". Origin is in the word crapaud (Toad) as the form reminds of this animal. Well strange as if we eat frogs we do not eat Toad 😂
UA-cam recommended this video to me. I watched 60 seconds of it and would love to watch the rest later. But the Chef's personality instantly made me subscribe to this channel. What an upbeat and supportive dude!
A trip back to the 70's with this stunning dish. As soon as Chef cut through the pastry I could hear Burt Bacharach piping through the restaurant hi-fi.
Chef, you are an amazing teacher. This step by step video is excellent. Your comments are priceless (“If it happens to me, it will happen to you “ - it did!) Compliments to the camera person. I have made this before but I did it your way and it came out perfect. I had a piece of frozen tenderloin. When I thawed it out I discovered that it was the flap folded under to make a cylinder. I was mortified. I kept the shape, seared it in clarified butter and followed your instructions precisely. It came out great and looked exactly like yours. Thank you for another delicious recipe.
"This is live recording, this is not pretend", love it. That's how you learn to cook, when you see the whole none edited procedure. Grand merci to chef Jean-Pierre, très apprécié.
I like Chef Jean-Pierre, he admits some people enjoy food well done and does not look down his nose at them, and even says how to cook it for those that do. Thanks.
I am one of those people that enjoys food well done. I know that most chefs say it's the best tasting but seeing all that redness really makes me want to hurl.
Yeah, when I was a kid, I got sick several times for food poisoning from places under cooking their food. Usually gas stations that were trying to be cheap. There was a gas station on the way back from another city that my grandfather used to take me to when we were coming back to his place. They had fried chicken there. I started getting really picky about eating food all the way cooked after a piece of the chicken that I bit into look like it had been painted red on the inside lol
@@bahamut416 Yeah this is why I like to prepare my own food. I worked in a restaurant right out of high school and I saw a coworker spit on someone's food. I reported the incident and he was fired.
I've seen some of the world's best chefs make this...And yours is by far the best. The crepe technique...the egg white to bind the duxelle...wow. Where did you learn the crepe technique?!
This is one of the best recipe videos I've seen on UA-cam in ages. It makes me so happy to see you embrace the difficulties instead of trying to edit around it. :) Fantastic, Chef. Thank you. Brought back memories of culinary arts classes.
A very down-to-earth chef who is very comfortable in his environment. Clearly knows his kitchen well; it does not feel like a film set, the way he kicked the oven door closed. Haha...
Easy to understand and I like that all the other support recipes are shown in previous videos. I can't wait to try this one. My mouth is watering. Thank you for bringing your 51+ years of experience to all of us.
I bet everyone in this guys family absolutely adores him not just cause he cooks good either his energy and attitude is just great very good job my friend
I learn a lot on this video , very natural move in a kitchen, real and timely presentation. I worked in a cruise line for 15 years , this is more friendly approach on culinary enjoyment without worrying on the fuss. Thank you chef Jean-Pierre! God bless!
Perfect timing, its what my buddy has been talking about making for a few weeks now. I’m sure if he watches this it will make his that much better. You are the man Chef Jean-Pierre!!!
*CHEF HUNCLER* gave me my first demo of a *"Duxelles de Champignons"* ...! I never knew "lowly Mushrooms" could be made to taste so delicious. It was all in the knife work, cutting each mushroom so very fine.
I’m living vicariously through these videos. Got put on a mostly liquid diet for medical reasons. Even the best home made broths doesn’t hold a candle to a good cut of beef. I’m going to definitely be making this dish as soon as I can eat it.
As soon as I Here "Well Hello, Friends" Its magic time. How Chef Jp does not have his own mainstream cookery show is beyond me. Great presentation, Great Video, what a nice guy. JP have a great holiday. . kindest regards.
He really talks as if you were right there in the kitchen with him. I never thought I could sit through a 40 minute cooking video but its just so captivating.
I've been watching your videos for years, and learning a lot. I finally decided to tackle the Beef Wellington this xmas. It was quite the intense process, but because I've learned so many cooking skills from your other videos over the years, I was able to pull it off. It was truly excellent. Thank you so much.
It's fabulously easy the way you show us. You just have to do it in stages, like you demonstrated. Thank you for making and taking the mystification out of the legendary dish.
This was my first video I ever saw of Jean Pierre's about 2 or so years ago. I thought, this guy is nuts making such a fancy dish. 2 years later, I enjoy all of his videos. Very entertaining and always learning something. Thanks.
I've had this dish a number of times in New York restaurants. I loved it every time. If I had known the effort required to make this I would have left twice as big a tip. To make this? There's not enough days left in my life to to dice the mushrooms and ham that small. God bless you Chef.
Sir, I am watching this while stoned, and have to say it's one of the greatest videos I have seen. Your exuberance was fantastic, and the food looked amazing.
My son has been asking me to make this for the holidays and I just summoned up the courage to watch your video. I think I can do it!! Thank you SO much. My tummy is growling 🤤
This is the type of man I learned from that made me love working in and excelling at cooking. It is so nice to see a level-headed man approach what you want to do in the kitchen to impress people with your intelligence, savvy and expertise, rather than your sorry drama, confrontation, rudeness and bullshit. Thank you, Chef.
My mum was on the paleo diet, so I cooked her venison wellington for Christmas. By guesswork lol. I'm astonished my recipe wasn't far off this one. I did stop before the crêpe and pastry bit. Mum said it was the best thing she'd ever eaten. Proud daughter moment
Chef has inspired me. This video has given me the courage to try making Beef Wellington which is one of the most iconic foods in the world. Just the smooth style of explaining while preparing the recipe makes it seem easy, even though everyone knows it is not so easy. Chef JP you are amazing.
This is a terrible or a wonderful thing to watch while on my last day of 7 day fast. I've always wanted to try making Beef Wellington and Chef Jean-Pierre is amazing. He's so unpretentious and down to earth in the way he explains each step. Didn't take long to become my favorite Chef and UA-cam cooking channel. You're very inspiring!
Chef, you are so good at what you do; your technique, your instruction and your sense of humor. You are truly an asset to the culinary arts, and we, all of us who only wish we had the time and inclination to become professionally trained chefs salute you and thank you for presenting these wonderful videos.
We used Chef Jean-Pierre's video to make this incredible dish a couple of years ago... and it was quite the hit!! It's time consuming but so well worth it!! Our Christmas party is never satisfied unless we make this now!!
Merry Christmas Chef. I learned a lot today about Wellingtons. I don’t think I would ever attempt one but if I do it would be your recipe that I would use. God bless you and stay well.
FINALLY! A Wellington recipe, I understand. I am no chef but, I am really good cook. I don't measure ingredients either. (Unless baking, flour to liquid ratio matters, everything else I cook to taste) I CAN DO THIS! I am going to make it this weekend. Thank you for the step by step. It's not an easy dish however, it is not the impossible one I thought it to be either! 🎉
So many recipes just show the good stuff, I love you Chef Jean-Pierre because sometimes things go not so perfect and you just keep going thank you so much XXXX
Chef, my wife and I love your video's, I am the one that cooks and have tried some of your recipes and they are great. You are a great teacher, your calm, cool and understanding which are great qualities, but on top of it all you hold your viewers captive. Please keep up the great work, peace and love my friend
Made this for New Years, it was excellent. Thank you for breaking things down in your videos, it makes something like a Beef Wellington a lot less intimidating to try when there is a good step by step guide for it.
When he was flipping the crepe. "you can do this is easy I believe in you my friend".... I needed that for more reasons that flipping a crepe 😂 this guy is precious. ❤️
I love his warm personality, it feels like a family member sharing his tips ! Wish me luck I’m trying this for Christmas for my father who had a stroke. He has wanted to try beef Wellington for about five years. I’m so grateful he’s still with us, we are celebrating with this dream dish! 🎉
this guy's funny; I love how honest he looks cooking. Like oh, I forgot this, or oh, I need this now. It's like, yeah, that's what cooking really looks like 😂
Never hand the pleasure of trying it. Now I have to make it lol. I watched your quiche video and bought a removable tart pan to make one just like yours. It makes me happy to cook . Thank you chef. You’re a great teacher. It’s people like you that makes the world a happier place. 🙏❤️
I am beside myself with joy in seeing you, Chef. My husband, family, and friends spent many wonderfully enjoyable evenings watching you cook with your unique interactive method. We miss your cooking school in Ft. Lauderdale. ;-( But happy for you in semi-retirement. ;-)

One of the things that make Chef unique is that he explains why he actually does something and the reason behind it.
I was thinking the same thing
Like dis, like dat, like da udder....
Absoloutley would love to have been trained by him

Nahh! Check out South Korean, Chinese channels too. This is classic French.
Formidable! Quel professionnel expérimenté! Je suis Française et vit aux USA depuis des années et je n’ai pas cuisiné de Wellington depuis plus de 20 ans! Des amis Américains souhaitent goûter ça et n’ont demandé de le préparer pour un dîner ensemble. J’ai trouvé votre recette et votre chaîne UA-cam .. et me suis abonnée car vous êtes un excellent chef avec une personnalité franchement agréable! Merci beaucoup pour la recette classique traditionnelle. Keep doing the good work chef! Happy thanksgiving!
The first chef, ever, who talks about the consumer cost, of a certain list of ingredients. Chefs get whatever they want to cook because they sell for a profit…while most common cooks don’t have such a lavish income when cooking for the home. Thanks for being able to replace the herb, cauze I don’t like tarragon but anything else is fine. A new cook would be amazed how much mushroom shrink…I cook them a lot. Will have to try this.
Thank you for your humor, your mistakes...being human. You make this cuisine approachable. I love you!!
I love these videos...The chef seems like he is from France and New Orleans..❤❤❤❤
I found this by accident & I am so in love! For a southern woman who’s love language is FOOD…this is heaven. JP is helpful, honest, entertaining & polite. Not a narcissistic a-hole like many haute cuisine chefs (yes I’m thinking of chef Gordon). THANKS so very much! I’m a follower & fan for life! 😊
I typically don’t like to follow other chefs, but this guy is spot-on amazing.
Fantastic! I wonder how long was that initial sear. Sure I' d over-do it.
Merci ! Chef Jean-Pierre, I will cook one for my Desire Louise, Merci !
There are many good masterchefs but like most did mention is Jean-Pierre not only a good chef but also has the talent to make a perfect guide and he explains things perfect. Beside that he is very kind and proofs you don't have to scream to make a amazing good program. Thanks for the videos!
I detest all the you tube chefs who yell and make loud noises doing anything! I don't know how they make so much noise mincing onions. This masterchef is fabulous.
When I made my first beef Wellington I was an overconfident yet undereducated home cook. It was a disaster.
I have learned, and prepared it successfully later on, but how I wish I had a teacher like you back then. Absolute masterclass.
Absolutely no idea what you are talking about :-)
"overconfident yet undereducated" !!! 🤣😂 lol
I love it !!! I'll definitely be borrowing this saying !!!
The joy i get from watching John pierre is
" a-ma-zing" His personality is so contagious, and has such a wide span of culinary knowledge and is willing to break everything down step by step so even
"a child could do this"...i hope you never run out of recipes so you can make more wonderful videos for years to come 🙌
Oh là là, chef! C'est ce que je dis toujours, vous êtes LE MEILLEUR!
🙏🙏🙏💕
Chef Jean-Pierre is an exceptional teacher. Thank you for sharing your craft with the world. Every video is amazing!
We made your Wellington recipe for our main course for New Years. It is foolproof. The preparation while involved is simple since we were able to do a lot of it in advance. Your on air personality makes cooking enjoyable and it shows that you are an excellent teacher. Thank you
We also made your Crepes Suzette recipe too (since I made crepes for the Wellington, I also made sweet crepes as well) and it was a delicious ending to our New Year's dinner. (It looked beautiful and tasted delicious!) Thank you for your fun and awesome instruction!
@@cherylhilton3833 The doe looks a bit too wet. Try Breadcrumbs like in this video. This is also a very good cook ! ua-cam.com/video/5RWXPZmrIaE/v-deo.html
@@andrevonthyssen4086 ok thank you!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine making Beef Welington! Really there are no words to express my gratitude to you Chef. Thank you Chef for bringing family dinner back to my home, meaningful and without cell phones. (and for teaching me how to prepare mushrooms so I can finally make them taste "amazing")
dude, your mixture of classy french, no-bullshit New Yorker or wherever, and seasoned kitchen veteran all come out of your personality in equal measure. I sincerely enjoyed this entire video. Also, great editing. Loved the "or maybe I'll just cut all the way through" edits.
This recipe worked like a charm. I bought the whole tenderloin, used the center cut for this recipe and partially froze the rest to slice thin for the best cheese steaks I ever ate. Thanks again, Chef!
I cooked this last Christmas Eve for my family following his recipe and guide. It was a Total success, my family loved it so much I have been given orders to do it again this year 🙂 for even more people so I will need to make 2 of them.
You made me feel very capable of making Beef Wellington…
I never fast forward through your videos because you’re a very entertaining teacher and hold everybody’s attention while they are learning…
You’re a true gift to the cooking industry
It is 3 a.m. here. I just woke up. I've been developing a Wellington and a stew in phases for 1.5 days already, between birthday and holiday parties. 😅 I should probably not be cooking right now, but I'm a little obsessed, and I'll probably sleep after I finish the duxelle and the pan sauce.
Thx chef 😴👍...
👍👍👍😊
@@ChefJeanPierre also, that trick with the egg white is very good, but I was a little surprised that it didn't cook immediately on the hot mushrooms.
I'm also gonna save the egg yolk for basting the crust, then finish with some of the herb salt that seasoned the beef.
Chef, I made your beef Wellington and it was the most delicious piece of beef I have had in my entire life and everyone invited agreed,. In fact, everyone called the next day to tell me thanks again for the invite and this was 80% because of the meal. I give myself 20%. That mushroom sauce...the best I have ever had and I had made your beef stock and included that in the recipe...Perfection! I think it is better to eliminate some of the water to thicken...Oh my Gosh! Heavenly!
🙏🙏🙏😊
Chef, I forgot to tell you...You could actually cut it with a fork...So tender!
I'm a butcher: I love that Chef tells you not to buy the briand, instead buy the whole fillet and prepare it yourself. the difference in price is insane. A centre-cut, larder trimmed fillet will cost upwards of 75 quid in England right now. A whole fillet will cost you 35, if that.
on a smaller scale, it's much less expensive to buy a whole chicken than it is to buy boneless skinless breasts here in the US, plus you can make chicken stock with it
@@iconoclast137 I am French and always buy whole chicken as you then choose how you gonna cook it 😇
@@iconoclast137 yeah the same economics apply - the more work the producer has to put in, the more it will cost you as a consumer. always buy a whole chicken.
@@khaelamensha3624
How to say in French...?
*" S P A T C H C O C K "*
poulet cuit à la *... SPATCHCOCK*
(or any bird, he or she ...) ?
@@mothermom5329 Thanks for the question, it give me the opportunity to learn another English word. In French it is called "a la crapaudine". Origin is in the word crapaud (Toad) as the form reminds of this animal. Well strange as if we eat frogs we do not eat Toad 😂
UA-cam recommended this video to me. I watched 60 seconds of it and would love to watch the rest later. But the Chef's personality instantly made me subscribe to this channel. What an upbeat and supportive dude!
🙏🙏🙏😊
A trip back to the 70's with this stunning dish. As soon as Chef cut through the pastry I could hear Burt Bacharach piping through the restaurant hi-fi.
Thanks for the time travel Simon!
The 70's? Every other episode of hells kitchen.
this man is ENJOYABLE to watch and to Listen to He deserves his own show
Chef, you are an amazing teacher. This step by step video is excellent. Your comments are priceless (“If it happens to me, it will happen to you “ - it did!) Compliments to the camera person. I have made this before but I did it your way and it came out perfect. I had a piece of frozen tenderloin. When I thawed it out I discovered that it was the flap folded under to make a cylinder. I was mortified. I kept the shape, seared it in clarified butter and followed your instructions precisely. It came out great and looked exactly like yours. Thank you for another delicious recipe.
"This is live recording, this is not pretend", love it. That's how you learn to cook, when you see the whole none edited procedure. Grand merci to chef Jean-Pierre, très apprécié.
I like Chef Jean-Pierre, he admits some people enjoy food well done and does not look down his nose at them, and even says how to cook it for those that do. Thanks.
I am one of those people that enjoys food well done. I know that most chefs say it's the best tasting but seeing all that redness really makes me want to hurl.
Yeah, when I was a kid, I got sick several times for food poisoning from places under cooking their food. Usually gas stations that were trying to be cheap. There was a gas station on the way back from another city that my grandfather used to take me to when we were coming back to his place. They had fried chicken there. I started getting really picky about eating food all the way cooked after a piece of the chicken that I bit into look like it had been painted red on the inside lol
@@bahamut416 Yeah this is why I like to prepare my own food. I worked in a restaurant right out of high school and I saw a coworker spit on someone's food. I reported the incident and he was fired.
I've been watching cooking shows for 20+ years, and this has to be my favorite Chef I've ever watched.
That's amazing to hear, thank you for watching! 🙏❤️
I've seen some of the world's best chefs make this...And yours is by far the best.
The crepe technique...the egg white to bind the duxelle...wow.
Where did you learn the crepe technique?!
This is one of the best recipe videos I've seen on UA-cam in ages. It makes me so happy to see you embrace the difficulties instead of trying to edit around it. :) Fantastic, Chef. Thank you. Brought back memories of culinary arts classes.
JP is the best French Chef on UA-cam!!!😍😍😍
A very down-to-earth chef who is very comfortable in his environment. Clearly knows his kitchen well; it does not feel like a film set, the way he kicked the oven door closed. Haha...
Easy to understand and I like that all the other support recipes are shown in previous videos. I can't wait to try this one. My mouth is watering. Thank you for bringing your 51+ years of experience to all of us.
Awesome! Thank you!
Doing this for Christmas. Wish me luck!
You can do it!!! 👍😊
I'll let you know how it goes!@@ChefJeanPierre
I bet everyone in this guys family absolutely adores him not just cause he cooks good either his energy and attitude is just great very good job my friend
I was thinking - what was this guy like when he was a kid? He must have bounced around the kitchen like a ping pong ball. Food looked great.
With this kind of energy, our chef gonna live beyond 100! Keep being energetic chef!
I learn a lot on this video , very natural move in a kitchen, real and timely presentation. I worked in a cruise line for 15 years , this is more friendly approach on culinary enjoyment without worrying on the fuss. Thank you chef Jean-Pierre! God bless!
Perfect timing, its what my buddy has been talking about making for a few weeks now. I’m sure if he watches this it will make his that much better. You are the man Chef Jean-Pierre!!!
Please make a compilation of all tasting moments.
Chef Jean-Pierre knows how to enjoy food!
Thanks for the great video your style and the substance is awesome by the filo dough does what it wants when you don't want it to thus the sticking.
*CHEF HUNCLER* gave me my first demo of a *"Duxelles de Champignons"* ...!
I never knew "lowly Mushrooms" could be made to taste so delicious. It was all in the knife work, cutting each mushroom so very fine.
I’m living vicariously through these videos. Got put on a mostly liquid diet for medical reasons. Even the best home made broths doesn’t hold a candle to a good cut of beef. I’m going to definitely be making this dish as soon as I can eat it.
As soon as I Here "Well Hello, Friends" Its magic time. How Chef Jp does not have his own mainstream cookery show is beyond me. Great presentation, Great Video, what a nice guy. JP have a great holiday. . kindest regards.
He really talks as if you were right there in the kitchen with him. I never thought I could sit through a 40 minute cooking video but its just so captivating.
I've been watching your videos for years, and learning a lot. I finally decided to tackle the Beef Wellington this xmas. It was quite the intense process, but because I've learned so many cooking skills from your other videos over the years, I was able to pull it off. It was truly excellent. Thank you so much.
You're most welcome, I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! 🙏❤️
It's fabulously easy the way you show us. You just have to do it in stages, like you demonstrated. Thank you for making and taking the mystification out of the legendary dish.
Its amazing to watch professionals like you bring these ingredients to life. Your knowledge and insight is highly appreciated
This was my first video I ever saw of Jean Pierre's about 2 or so years ago. I thought, this guy is nuts making such a fancy dish. 2 years later, I enjoy all of his videos. Very entertaining and always learning something. Thanks.
I've had this dish a number of times in New York restaurants. I loved it every time. If I had known the effort required to make this I would have left twice as big a tip. To make this? There's not enough days left in my life to to dice the mushrooms and ham that small. God bless you Chef.
Food processor.
Sir, I am watching this while stoned, and have to say it's one of the greatest videos I have seen. Your exuberance was fantastic, and the food looked amazing.
Lol love it!
My son has been asking me to make this for the holidays and I just summoned up the courage to watch your video. I think I can do it!! Thank you SO much. My tummy is growling 🤤
There is no replacement for the sheer skill, joy and enthusiasm of a master. Absolute pleasure to come along for the journey and thank you
This is the best beef wellington I have ever seen! I can practically taste it through the computer screen!
Thank you 🙏
So laid back as a French man, I loved his simplicity to learn as an elementary as to how to do.. I thank you.
This is the type of man I learned from that made me love working in and excelling at cooking. It is so nice to see a level-headed man approach what you want to do in the kitchen to impress people with your intelligence, savvy and expertise, rather than your sorry drama, confrontation, rudeness and bullshit.
Thank you, Chef.
THANK YOU 🙏
Wanna hug this guy hes so warm!!!!!! Inviting!!!!! Im subscribing!!!
Cooked this yesterday for all my family. It was an absolute winner and I followed your instructions to the tee! 🎉
👏👏👏👍❤️
My mum was on the paleo diet, so I cooked her venison wellington for Christmas. By guesswork lol. I'm astonished my recipe wasn't far off this one. I did stop before the crêpe and pastry bit. Mum said it was the best thing she'd ever eaten. Proud daughter moment
Chef has inspired me. This video has given me the courage to try making Beef Wellington which is one of the most iconic foods in the world. Just the smooth style of explaining while preparing the recipe makes it seem easy, even though everyone knows it is not so easy. Chef JP you are amazing.
best chef on internet. such good explanation. real teacher! And such a great personality as well
This is a terrible or a wonderful thing to watch while on my last day of 7 day fast. I've always wanted to try making Beef Wellington and Chef Jean-Pierre is amazing. He's so unpretentious and down to earth in the way he explains each step. Didn't take long to become my favorite Chef and UA-cam cooking channel. You're very inspiring!
😂😂 I thought Iliana was they only one who tortured myself! I’m still fasting 😳😒
lol I am on a water fast too. How did we find this :D
Fasting also and still looking at recipes 😌🫣🤣
Chef, you are so good at what you do; your technique, your instruction and your sense of humor. You are truly an asset to the culinary arts, and we, all of us who only wish we had the time and inclination to become professionally trained chefs salute you and thank you for presenting these wonderful videos.
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
We used Chef Jean-Pierre's video to make this incredible dish a couple of years ago... and it was quite the hit!! It's time consuming but so well worth it!! Our Christmas party is never satisfied unless we make this now!!
Merry Christmas Chef. I learned a lot today about Wellingtons. I don’t think I would ever attempt one but if I do it would be your recipe that I would use. God bless you and stay well.
DITTO...👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. 🇨🇱AustinTX. “MrDon” 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i think i would only attempt this for a large group. I think Emily Duncan's mini wellington recipe is more my speed.
FINALLY! A Wellington recipe, I understand. I am no chef but, I am really good cook. I don't measure ingredients either. (Unless baking, flour to liquid ratio matters, everything else I cook to taste) I CAN DO THIS! I am going to make it this weekend. Thank you for the step by step. It's not an easy dish however, it is not the impossible one I thought it to be either! 🎉
Merci Jean Pierre, j'adore tes vidéos, n'enlève pas les petites erreurs, ça fait de toi, spontanéité.
👍👍👍😊
What a loveable chef you are Jean-Pierre, love everything about this video.
So many recipes just show the good stuff, I love you Chef Jean-Pierre because sometimes things go not so perfect and you just keep going thank you so much XXXX
I also love how he owns his mistakes and doesn't just edit them out of his video. He is my favorite Chef to watch on UA-cam the best teacher ever!❤❤
🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Not only are you an excellent chef and teacher, but also very amusing and entertaining!😀
I am most certainly going to give this a try, I love his authentic cooking style and the fact that he slows down to give you precise instructions.
Chef, my wife and I love your video's, I am the one that cooks and have tried some of your recipes and they are great. You are a great teacher, your calm, cool and understanding which are great qualities, but on top of it all you hold your viewers captive. Please keep up the great work, peace and love my friend
🙏❤️
Made this for New Years, it was excellent. Thank you for breaking things down in your videos, it makes something like a Beef Wellington a lot less intimidating to try when there is a good step by step guide for it.
When he was flipping the crepe. "you can do this is easy I believe in you my friend".... I needed that for more reasons that flipping a crepe 😂 this guy is precious. ❤️
I love his warm personality, it feels like a family member sharing his tips ! Wish me luck I’m trying this for Christmas for my father who had a stroke. He has wanted to try beef Wellington for about five years. I’m so grateful he’s still with us, we are celebrating with this dream dish! 🎉
That is so sweet. I hope everything goes well. I wish you and your father all the best! 👍❤️
this guy's funny; I love how honest he looks cooking. Like oh, I forgot this, or oh, I need this now. It's like, yeah, that's what cooking really looks like 😂
Never hand the pleasure of trying it. Now I have to make it lol. I watched your quiche video and bought a removable tart pan to make one just like yours. It makes me happy to cook . Thank you chef. You’re a great teacher. It’s people like you that makes the world a happier place. 🙏❤️
You are absolutely my favorite chef to watch.
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
I am beside myself with joy in seeing you, Chef. My husband, family, and friends spent many wonderfully enjoyable evenings watching you cook with your unique interactive method. We miss your cooking school in Ft. Lauderdale. ;-( But happy for you in semi-retirement. ;-)
Thank you so much and all the pleasure is mine!!! 🙏😊👍
'It's for a special occasion', everyday is a special occasion.🎉 Especially when it contains a Jean-pierre recipe. 😋
❤️❤️❤️👍
