    Chef JP can cook.
    He can teach.
    AND he entertains by just being himself.
    PLUS -the video production is soooo good when sound effects and zooming in on his facial expressions are added!
    THIS is the way I want to learn how to cook!

    Finally someone who makes proper Pesto, most recipes online show it to be way too oily and runny, and what will happen when those Pestos take the heat from the noodles is that it will split. This Pestos consistancy looks perfect to put it in a bowl with some Fussili and pour a little bit of pasta water on top to bind it, then toss it and you will have the perfcet dish!

    I love the 'Rocket science' exactitude of the Chef Jean-Pierre measuring system - you know what you want, measuring is less important than knowing what it looks like and what it tastes like. Cooking is as much an attitude as it is a feeling. Chef's JP's emotional approach to measuring is how I cook, how my mother cooked and how all the Italian Nono's I have been fortunate and privilege to meet, cook. Why mess with perfection?

    I just discovered your pesto, cher Chef - happy that you do it like my Mom taught me 🥰! I love it with cashew nuts and/or peanuts (the ones from Upper Egypt are out of this world!!). When we get fresh basil I usually make a lot, put it in small glass jars, seal it with olive oil and put them in the freezer. They would keep for ... 17 years 🤣🤣 ... if only we wouldn't eat them before! Whatever one uses it with - it gives it that lil' extra touch, right? Thanks a lot again 🥰 also for the lovely and fun way to present it!! Yours, Eleonora
    PS It also makes great apéro : smear on a small cracker, sprinkle a bit of parmesan, a quarter of a cherry tomato in the middle et voilà - that's it!

    Literally just made/ate this for the 2nd time. Incredible recipe. My 2nd batch I used only a couple cloves of garlic as I am kind of sensitive to that flavor. That's why Chef JP is so great - He teaches one to make the recipe their own rather than have a rigid recipe; he teaches the how and the why; best around.

  • @EarlHayward
    @EarlHayward Рік тому +1

    In every video I watch I pickup something new, which is why I love this channel and the Chef… For instance, I always grated Parmesan and Asiago by hand. I just never though if placing diced pieces in a food processor, yet so obvious and much less work I am wondering why I never thought of doing that… Thus, while I do a decent amount of cooking (and my wife prefers much of my cooking over restaurants), I probably spend two or three times the energy and duration necessary compared to professional chefs. However, just a few short weeks of watching videos on this channel has helped me: reduce the time I spend cooking (many pointers are really on prep work, like having a cooked roux ready to go); reinforced my understanding of the culinary arts; and, helped me refine my skills so that both my quality and efficiency improved… Not to mention, increased my love of butter, wine, and onyo!!!

I can definitely back you up in saying that it freezes very well. When it's in the freezer, it looses its color a little bit (kind of fades because of the frost); however, when you defrost it, it turns back into its vibrant green color again and the taste is superb. Thanks for the video, my friend. .......Rob.......

    I really love your approach to cooking. It is fun and you don’t complicate things. It is all about taste rather than measuring things like a pharmacist. Taste and what it supposed to look like is the main driver towards a good result. I my world dishes were created by “The Hand” in other words the hand with your sense of cooking to a beautiful tasty dish and it is done measuring by hand. If I ever be in the states, I would like to visit your restaurant to enjoy the experience and, if possible, participate in your cooking classes. Love your shows, I great you and wish you good luck from Australia.

      Thank you for the kind words! 🙏 I am trying to organize some kind of a cooking demonstration somewhere but I’m afraid we’re gonna have so many people it’s gonna be an issue, but I’m working on it as soon as I find a space that could accommodate a bunch of people will do it!

    I made this last week. I used a small food processer, so I estimated quantities. Wife thought I put too much garlic, and she was right. I used 3, so next time I'll start with one.
    I didn't have pignoli, so I used blanched almonds that I toasted a little bit in a dry pan. I ground them in the food processor before I added the other ingredients.
    I didn't have parmesan, so I used pecorino romano, which I always have on hand and prefer most of the time anyway.
    I didn't even have a lemon on hand, so I used a little distilled white vinegar instead, which you can't taste either. I used it as soon as I made it, so I could have omitted it. . Having to improvise out of necessity is fun for me, even if it's not totally classic as Chef made it. Thank you Chef!
