    Ina Garten does not publish any recipe until she literally watches novices following her written directions. I think all cooks and chefs should follow her lead. Cooking is time and money, especially today; too risky to lose either. Jamie, you have one clean kitchen. Many You Tubers would not have published a video like this. For that, you get one trillion likes.

    Not your fault Jamie. The chef left out the parts where you have a bowl of ice water to "shock" the oysters and stop the cooking process. So, you keep all the oysters in a strainer just drop them in the hot broth for a few seconds 20-30 seconds and immediately put them into the ice water bath. Then the sensitive oysters aren't overcooked, always better slightly under cooked than over cooked and rubbery. He forgot those steps, which he used as I can see these missing steps in his picture.

      Imo, that means he’s skipping things and has missing details in his recipes. For one, someone mentioned the cooked oysters should have immediately gone into a bath of ice water to avoid them overcooking, but this is missing from his recipes. It’s like he assumes people know how to IDEALLY process everything, but that’s not how recipes work.
      Someone who’s familiar with oysters will know to do the ice bath, but the average person buying his recipe book absolutely won’t-if they know oysters are normally put in ice, they may assume he intentionally left out that steps as it’s not in the recipe. At least that’s what I would think if I knew more about oysters.

    Some chefs really don't know how to write a cookbook, and their ghostwriters rarely know enough to help them, so you've probably got a hopeless road ahead of you with this endeavor. One of the great things about The French Laundry Cookbook is that Michael Ruhlman devoted himself tireless to the task of transforming Keller's work into a useable cookbook, and the results speak for themselves.

    • @marthalorden8498
      @marthalorden8498 25 днів тому +10

      Yeah. Spot on. Keller's and White's "cookbooks" contain recipes, but they are not really composed for home cooks to recreate. These gorgeous books are intended more for the coffee table and nightstand than the kitchen shelves. They do unlock the behind-the-stove mystery and magic of how their signature dish is prepared, but offer minimum guidance on technique. Any "how to" info is probably at the insistence of the publisher and ghostwriters who attempt to put the recipe together with only spotty conferencing time with (sometimes resistant) top chefs, most of whom don't use or even have written versions of their masterpieces. (I review cookbooks for Publishers Weekly).

    Hand dried boiled oysters on a bed of reboiled paper thin pasta with a basic beurre blanc, garnished with boiled cucumber and a touch of caviar, served in boiled oyster shells, on a plate with some sort of possibly seaweed, possibly fried, or possibly boiled too.

We provided our own transportation to hospitals. But, my grandmother, when hearing of an illness, always said a prayer for the sufferer, and any death was met with a heartfelt, "God have mercy on his/her soul." She's been gone since 1978 and I, in my declining years, find myself uttering those same prayers for those same reasons. It's heartwarming to hear you do something similar.

    Such a valiant effort and in true Jamie style, you never gave up. Don't be disheartened. All the food pictures in those books are done by professional photographers, food stylists and lighting effects, not to mention photoshopping the end results. MPW is notorious for leaving out little steps. He makes the recipes look simple but with those missings directions it can quickly turn into every cooks worst nightmare. Somehow seeing you struggle through your perceived disasters makes you so much more relatable and endearing. I say perceived because what you call a disaster still looks mighty fine to me. I hope you are feeling better as you looked so dejected at the end.

    I almost always halve recipes and I’ve found that keeping two thirds of flavorful liquids like wine and vinegar tends to work better. Not only is there more flavor but when halved theres usually not enough volume to do whatever it’s supposed to for the other ingredients (eg not enough sauce to cover the dish). It might be worth trying for the beurre blanc if you ever feel like reattempting this dish
    All that being said, love the content and the way you fixed the pasta dough was super impressive

Congradulate yourself on how far you have come as a chef and not only that but as a beloved UA-cam personality!
