      Pierre is a hero to Marco who taught him as much if not more than he learned under the roux brothers, a man famed for only hiring French chefs and keeping a very quiet kitchen Marco worked for free like a dog for pierre until his skill was noticed and he brought him under his wing, in fact back in the eighties when Marco owned his michlin starred restaurant Harveys in Wandsworth his signature dish was pigs trotter ala Pierre koffman because he didn't believe in stealing another chefs dish without crediting their genius like Gordon often does.

    It's truly a privilege to have one of the best chefs of all time teach how to cook. He's hilarious, and it's really funny how he seems pissed off all the time xD. This generation of classic French chefs showed the world that simplicity is the key to greatness. Everyone can complicate things, but it takes a true genius to make simple things taste and look great.

    • @ancogaming
      @ancogaming 10 місяців тому

      You're absolutely right!
      Discipline and perfection with little things done right make a tasty meal, not complexity or reinventing the wheel. The best dishes I've cooked were simple but you could taste the dedication that went into them at every step of the way as you recognize it all come together. There are a lot of different philosophies out there, and I don't want to take anything away from them if they're successful in their own right, however, I believe a kitchen doesn't need to innovate but rather elevate its production.

    Marvellous to see this great Chef. I once had Tournedos Rossini cooked by him at Tante Claire. Rather an obvious dish but in Koffman's hands sublime - also nearly everyone at the lunchtime service had ordered it because no doubt they knew it would be amazing. Everything else was of course always just delicious and I ate there as often as I could afford it. It was a wonderful restaurant with the emphasis on the food and the unpretentious pleasures of gastronomy, not "prestige" or showing off.

      I just about fell out of my chair, when this recipe popped up, "Bordelaise Sauce with Fillet Steak - Classic French Bistro". A perfect Bearnaise Sauce was my absolute favorite, until I had a great Bordelaise Sauce. I like how the Bordelaise Sauce is written first, as the star of the show and then the filet is the accompaniment.
      Oh, dean, I loved reading about your gastronomic experience. Jealous and drooling here in Ft. Worth. Love, love, love Tournedos Rossini. You'll remember that forever.

    You gotta' give to the French, they are by far, the best of the best in terms of western food. The Italians could give them a run for their money to some extent, but the French are in a class of their own. So much history, achievement, skill, beauty, inspiration, innovation, and sheer culinary brilliance pervades their food history. I've no shame admitting this and showing this respect to them as someone from England. There's a reason we all use french words in the kitchen and it's because they were the first and the best.

    a Small restaurant that i liked to go with my parents and grand parents, The Owners where both chefs, Husband and Wife.
    The Husband was also a Teacher at a cooking school in the region and he was a "Maitre Saucier" (Master Saucer= a chef that specialize in Sauces), so any and all of the sauces he made for his dishes, where absolutly divine.
    And since he was a Teacher, the restaurant was also a good occasion for his best students to have some practical work under their belts, so you would always have like a couple of younger chefs apprentices aroudn help him.
    The place was tiny as all Heck, no more than 10 or 12 tables and the Kitchen was Open, like a Bar/counter, so that you could always see more or less , them work.
    Even has a 6 year old, i absolutly loved his Lobster sauce armoricaine( a tomato, cream and cayanne pepper sauce) with small vegetables and a "Biscuit" wich was a flaky pastry that sat on top of Jasmine rice.
    His Beef Skewers with fine herbs and baked in their skins potatos with Dill whiped cream was also a delight.
    And the freakin Grand Marnier Souflée as dessert...
    Sadly they had a tight schedule, due to their school work, they could only open up from 17h to 21h, so you HAD to make reservations, the place was quite famous in the region.
    Off course when they took their retirement, they closed the place, wich was a very sad event for us, since we where regulars there for like 25 years.

      Damn that place sounded amazing. You know a restaurant is off the charts when they are small as fuck and only take reservations.
