So human yet so professional - "I hate working in a dirty kitchen!" - "woops, forgot the pepper!" - it makes me feel like even I can make these wonderful recipes. Love him.
I love how honest he is. "The first one....is not gonna come out good." Just let it go, enjoy it as a chef's snack and know that the others will turn out ok.
@@paolamura3497 looked at your youtube site an joined , you seem to like citrus deserts so i'm going to explore the foods you enjoy cause anyone who likes lemon an lime can't be all bad :)
You’ve saved my life. Actually. Finding you and this channel has allowed myself to realize/recognize the love for cooking. I just want to say thank you Chef.
Thank you so much Chef JP for sharing your wisdom of the kitchen; it has changed my life for the better. And! Whenever I go into the kitchen I hear your voice, like a little angel on my shoulder giving me tips to make my cooking better. Not just the food, the food is great, but I love being in the kitchen and I take the advice outside the kitchen. You're the best! God bless you Chef JP.
Through many years of having to work 100+ hours per week to raise my family as a single parent, I have lost connection with them as they grew older (all my free time was with them, though). Chef, thank you. As I look at retirement, I have a plan to bring us all together again through food. Yes, it must be great food, and so here I am, learning. Wish me luck!
Chef Pierre is the best. I really enjoy watching his videos and I have learned so much. I made the au gratin potatoes and after enjoying eating the freshly made potatoes, I refrigerated the leftovers and I cut the casserole into 2” cubes and fried them. These are incredible. Simply take the leftovers, cut them into 2” cubes, fry in butter on all 6 sides until golden brown and serve hot. These are the best fried potatoes ever!
God bless America and God bless Jean-Pierre. This man has me laughing and enjoying cooking instructions. These hipster channels are getting annoying and just want to watch someone enjoy cooking and enjoy teaching with passion
You should make it tomorrow and you'll have enough for numerous meals that need a fabulous carb. The mandolin is so sharp you won't feel the tip of your finger is sliced off until you see the blood. Lol
You should be at over a million. I'll have to work on that will all my friends who NEED me to help them. I'll show them a way to be more self sufficient. Lol
I prepared these carefully. They were in the fridge overnight. I USED the handguard, so I didn't remove my hand, arm, and fingers! I told everyone not to talk to me for nothing. Now I can reheat them in one oven while making your pork tenderloin in the other. Seems my friends are talking. My GF is talking to others. So I must learn more! They are coming over much more now! All I have to thank is CHEF JP and JOHN! Thanks so much, chef. What a delight your food and your personality are. I only wish your school was open again :) It brings me joy to cook and watch the happy smiles afterward the meal. Dessert will be your Dark Chocolate Kaluah cake and some LOUIS XIII Cognac. Chef, you are such a great teacher. Everyone says the same. I feel SOOOOOO lucky to learn from you! (if you can change your cookbook to have a USB drive, I will buy it. Nobody uses CDs anymore). This is the hardest meal I will make so far, but I am confident because a Child can do it!
My dear Chef, I don’t know how others feel about it, but as for me, I love the sign on the wall behind you. I appreciate you, and watching you makes me happy.
He always but a smile on my face and love in my heart. I have been put on a very very strict diet I cancelled all my other cooking shows there's no way I'm cancelling my chef. He refreshes me and relaxes me. ❤️💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞👩🍳✌️👶
Jen-Pierre, I've had a mandolin for probably 30 years and never had a problem. I watched your video on Pommes au Gratin and listened as you mentioned the 'most dangerous kitchen device' and agreed with you. Then, an hour later, while I was preparing Christmas dinner for 12 guests, I sliced the tip of my finger! Sacré Bleu! The first time ever I cut myself on the mandolin! The au gratin turned out perfect however, and no fingertip in the gratin!
I Love this video! I have a Mandolin that was gifted to me several yrs ago & still in the box. I know what I'm going to use it for now. Thank You Chef 🍻
I hope you don't mind a butter story: a friend of mine had made a decision when he was a young college student that he would avoid butter at all costs. He stayed true to his commitment until his 70th birthday and the crew decided to give him a buttercream icing cake. He was so pleased with the flavor that he avowed to add butter to every dish he could as he had much to catch up with. He died when he was 85 with a great appreciation and love for butter. Butter is our friend, it is just how you use it. Much like anything else in life: moderation, moderation, moderation. Chef, may you have a blessed and happy Christmas.
Thank you for sharing the story, your friend biggest mistake was to wait until he was 70th . I surely never waited 😂. Happy holidays, have a glorious Christmas and an AMAZING New Year!!!😍😍😍
Moderation, moderation, moderation. Exactly what does that mean! Really. My idea of what it is would not be yours or someone else’s. I have a friend who can drink six beer before lunch and he says that’s moderation. Another friend who is a nurse, says that sugar is the devil and would not touch it, my sister eats all kinds of sugar but she says she eats it in moderation. There are people who are serious chocoholics but they think they are consuming it in moderation because they only eat one pound of it a day. No such thing as moderation. EVERYONE would tell you what their idea of moderation is and it certainly would not be what you think it is. I really hate that phrase.
I have watched countless cooking shows in my life. Chef, you have to be the best teacher that I have had the privilege to learn from. Thank you for sharing.
Just made another big tray and is now cooking in the oven. They freeze beautifully. I’m getting a start on the upcoming holiday season. So worth the effort!!!!
One up you. Get a tray made to bake Yorkshire pudding (which is bread, not pudding) larger portion AND great for Yorkshire pudding, both great with roasts. Aunt Bessies mix on Amazon if not a baker like me.
@itsjohndell OMG My mother was from England...Yorkshire Pudding!! We make it every time we have a beef roast!!! Or lamb...and I make real mint sauce for it with lamb! Use mint...real mint...some boiling water...sugar and vinegar!! Fantastic!
i have only just discovered Jean-Piere,,,,what a treat to watch and listen to someone who speaks to you ,not down to you....the pompous,self opinionated superstar gits we have on uk tv should take note.
Unbelievably, in all the years I've been cooking, I've never made au gratin potatoes until now. Followed your recipe (except for the goat cheese). They were incredible!! Thank you.
The more he talks, the more I laugh, love the measuring, and love the stories… came for the meatloaf and stayed for like 6 more videos 😂😂… great Cheff can’t wait to try some out
I so enjoy these teaching videos, I just stumbled onto this site 3 days or so ago looking for Caramelized Onions, and now I'm completely dedicated to watching. Absolutely the best cooking channel I've found to date! I get a kick out of him saying "measure carefully" as he visually guesses the amount...a true cook! Thank-you Chef Jean-Pierre!!! I used to have a heart from the Chef, but lost it when I corrected the spelling of a word. :(
Merry Christmas my dear friend Jean-Pierre! May all the blessings that you bring into our homes every Thursday be tripled for you and your family. God bless and thank you for sharing so many wonderful moments with us from your fabulous kitchen.
Much of the melted cheese is there. If you didn't do that simple thing, lose $15 of cheese and sauce is too thin for the gratin. Also final gratin was in fact not firm enough.
Chef JP, tried out your recipe for the first time today. Although a US citizen, I was born and grew up in the UK, so my old recipes are all in degrees C. Just to make you smile..... having carefully mandolined the potatoes wafer thin, made the custard perfectly, I put it in the oven which was set at 275 degrees, and set the timer at 90 mins. After 45 mins, the kitchen was filled with the most beautiful pungent cheesy aromas - ah! good, I thought, and then (a moment later) thought - why? You can guess the punchline, and yes, I had set my oven at 275 c, not f. It is a tribute to the robustness of your recipe that it tasted delicious, probably more 'bien cuit' than it should have been, but still fantastique et delicieuse, je vous remercie beaucoups!
Thanks, you too!!! Getting back on UA-cam was the best thing I did in 2020 so thanks to you and all who watched our channel! 😍😍😍😍 Merry Christmas and a super AWESOME New Year to ALL!!!!🎅
Indeed...my gf broke up with me and left with my daughter on christmass day for no reason.. but this man gives me the energy to survive the pain and giving the example ..to love what u do and what u are made for ...then u are living in the present and enjoying life even when u are suffering
Happened to me my friend - ask the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and He will truly heal you! His blood cleanses us from all sin. Do it now, we don't have a lot of time left...
@@HydraDnB Damn I can understand your pain and live life for your own happiness make yourself happy first and then make other happy wish you all the best in life.
You are "The Best" 💜❤💙💚🧡💛 I smile and laugh As I watch you make Delicious Food. 😋 YUM Thank you for teaching me the steps to create Dishes just like yours. I'm so grateful !!
As planned I tried it out with my (family-)famous pork roast. The potato gratin was outstanding, just following your recipe made it overly delicious. Definitely the hero of the dinner, my pork roast came only second. Thank you so much. A real treat.
WOW! I made these along with Beef Tenderloin--Mama Mia!!!! I did it along with my 10 year old! Such fun! She's off the internet! Thank you Chef! Squash soup is simmering as we speak!! Congratulation on your 1 million subscribers. Warm regards from Detroit
Wonderful recipe and video. 17 years ago I spent $200 on a professional mandoline and have never used it once! My husband has pestered me over the years to use it. It comes with a video. Sadly, he passed away last month so I think I’m going to watch the video and see how it works. Hopefully I can use it and honor him in some small way. If it’s too complicated I’ll attempt to sell it and buy a much less expensive one. Thanks for another great video. You’re the best!🤗🤗
Chef, your friend here made your Scalloped potato recipe, probably 10 times now, and I can't thank you enough, it's not only delicious, but it's a sensory tingling dish. The eyes, nose, mouth and stomach are all happy with the results. It may have even fed my ego some by getting so many wonderful compliments and recipe request. BTW, told everyone to watch, subscribe...and ring your bells, lol. TFS friend.
... honestly Chef JP, (and I think I can speak for most of us who watch), I don't care if you make the videos long/longer. I would've loved to watch you do this from start to finish. It just leaves me wondering when/exactly how you put in the sweet potatoe. There's so much beauty in watching you create art with food. Merci/Grazie
This is the Bob Ross of cooking... "Put 3 cheeses. Put for cheeses. Put 1 cheese if you want. There are no mistakes, just happy potato au gratin servings."
With one major difference: Have you ever tried to copy what Ross made? I never did, but I am pretty certain, if I did, even if I copy his moves exactly, nothing good would come from it. On the other hand copying Chef JPs recipes is actually quite easy.
I’m from the Uk - South Wales near Cardiff - Wales Capital , a town called Caerphilly (we have a cheese made here and it’s called Caerphilly cheese and it’s delicious!) about 11miles from Cardiff driving and only 4 train stops away. I love watching cooking recipes and cane across yours about 2 months ago-ish. You have brought light into my life with cooking & I just love your Chanel & save my favourites. (I’m 54 & not the best with tec stuff & started writing my favs down & by playing around & listening to your advice about going to the bar and liking & ringing the bell, I found I can save them & not rewind and rewind to write it all on paper I end up losing lol 😂 You capture me and I can’t stop watching your channel! You are naturally funny & entertaining and I just giggle and constant smile through every recipe you teach us! If ever watched all the cutting skill ones, that I probably would have with other fav chefs. You captivate me and I’m so excited to try out your recipes and I’ve done your Marry Me Chicken, this one & a few others and trust me my friend (as you say) all have been delicious & I even do your hand gestures when I serve and tell all I cook for to watch and subscribe to your channel. I’ve bought all your gadgets you show us and knives to get it perfect! My next one is this slicer mandolin with guard & slice sizes. Your getting ingredients ready to cook is just the best - can’t spell it - yr M?? Correct it makes your cooking session smooth and no flusters!! Stops you burning when u are panicking getting it and make a mess! Just live watching you and not one I’ve made turned into a disaster as you make it so easy to follow - always delicious just as you say! Wow tasty & yummy! Other different recipes I’ve watched and tried from other chef channels - sometimes do not taste like it looks or they say! Yours have never failed to be perfect and scrumptious every time! You have motivated me into wanting to cook for my family and I’ve even got an arranged one dinner evening every 2 weeks that I invite my out-laws and I send them 3 of your recipe I like I’d like to cook, for them to watch the 3 & pick one they want me to do for them and they then do same for an eve dinner at theirs 2 weeks later and send me 3 to watch and choose them to cook! It’s so much fun and we look forward to tasting and our eve dinners we get together for & fun is the watching and choosing each of the chosen 3 at the time we send each other to cook! You bring light into my life and got me out of a depression stage and turned my life around cooking your fantastic recipes and you make me giggle with your natural funny off the cuff words, sayings and fun things you do that never fails to make me smile and giggle! Can’t thank you enough, we live so far away, but if I could ever chose to visit any chef in this whole wide world to experience a meal you’ve cooked and your fantastic fun energetic personality it would 💯 be you! And your kindness cooking for ur neighbours is so lovely! Please don’t stop my husband and out-laws (ha ha in-laws! 😂 and my children absolutely love our new dinner evenings with the help from you the best chef ever in my opinion! 💕 My parents I take your dishes too as they my dad disabled and my mum has dementia so unfortunately I don’t get to have the fun and choosing and inviting them to me, but they don’t miss out I take dishes I’ve cooked to them and they love them as well! 😋 Thank you so much I’m so grateful you have turned my life around with the excitement of cooking - chef Jean Pierre ❤
@@ChefJeanPierre just keep on cooking & I will be watching. You have turned my life around and I am so grateful for finding your channel & I promote it to everyone. You are not only a very talented gifted chef, you are a gifted person that has brought the joy & sunshine of cooking into my life & all your subscribers! You are kind, caring for other & your energy & fantastic personality is just contagious! Well you got me at it! I made my hubby buy a new cooker with 7 gas hobs & 3 ovens 😂😊 And all your knives & gadgets - digital thermometer, probe thermometer, little glass bowls for the M-plus! My husband was like - Hey! Your costing me a fortune on Amazon my love what on earth are you ordering - parcels coming left right and centre - what the hell trace?? It’s all my cooking things you will love -.trust me and next day I had him call out to me - Hey! Oh my god! This knife is amazing, you done well my love! (Was the huge one you use to slice chicken breasts with ease into half too and bottom! 👍💪 Hey see even a child could do it & I redeemed my expensive shopping & ordered more lol 😂 The Madeira wine, the garlic olive oil, all the salts - well every wine and spice/salt you’ve used I’ve seen so far!! He won’t be disappointed whey he tastes my Jean Pierre dinners & I told him - ‘I got them all and they will last a little while before I need more so enjoy what they give you my love l!’ He loves the knife I did well and he will be needing bigger clothes cause you have made me want to get up each day to cook and given me some of your energy that radiates from you with such positive words & passion in your love for cooking, that you have now passed on to me just through a tv screen. I wish I found your channel sooner you are a very gifted & talented lovely person - I’m so grateful you decided to bring such cooking light & love to me and my family 🧑🍳👨🍳♥️ Thank you for saving me from being so low & motivating me through the love of cooking. With my parents not well, mum getting worse with dementia, sharing care between me & my sister & I also have a 13yr old daughter who has autism. I was sinking fast as I was getting tired and no energy! You have given me back my oomph all through cooking and your special gift your energy & fun you radiate to us all watching you! ♥️
100% agree. I’ve been on a umami/savory mouth feel and flavor chase until I started watching his videos. Never thought of each bite of food being explosive and unique for certain meals. Examples being the fish cakes and the dressing mix. Very awesome and yummy! Thank you much chef! Merry Christmas!🎄
I am making these for dinner tonight and wondered to myself.. "I Wonder if Chef Pierre has a video of this dish" And here I am, watching this.. 2 YEARS old already!! Wow!! Must have been toward the beginning of the videos, I can tell from some of the video work, and how you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera these days.. Such a treat to watch!! And again, I learned a few trips and techniques I didnt know from before viewing this.. thanks
Hey Chef, I swear every time I see any of your fabulous videos, I can't help it... The corners of my mouth turn up a little, then a little more, and before long, it's an ear to ear smile! You keep us all smiling! Love it!
I can’t even watch you using the mandolin because I almost took a finger off with it and it just gives me the shivers up and down my back so I will continue to slice my potatoes with a super sharp knife as thin as possible
Food processor for the win. Mine has several slicing blades for different thicknesses and works pretty good at slicing potatoes and onions thinly for this type of dish (yes, I add onions to my potatoes au gratin}. It makes fast work of the job too. I have a mandolin and use it sometimes though I've never cut myself using it. I have experienced slight cuts, more like a papercut, from handling/cleaning it.
Every woman on earth could make grand meals all the time if she watches your videos.... you are such a blessing to all of us......🙏🙏👍👍😘😘❤️❤️🤗😘😋yummy!!!! WOW!!!!
chef you have more energy than any young chef I have seen. Just listening to you makes cooking and food interesting. You are definitely a great cook but I guess your talking through and passion while cooking is probably the best I have ever seen.
By the way Chef, I've loved everything you've produced over the years. In my opinion you're up there with Wolfgang. All of your recipes are tasty and very approachable for the average home cook. Love you man
You may sound goofy and devil may care but you're actually a perfectionist and an elegant cook who cares about people learning about elegant cooking. Thanks Chef for making it so fun to watch and cook.
I used a slightly deeper oven pan - easier to press down, less mess and no leakage on to the tray underneath. It's a lovely recipe and so nice to see an American using 'proper' cheese: in the UK we use many cheeses (I usually have about 10 different types in the fridge). This is the best ever way I have seen to make Potato Gratin - and it has elegance to impress.
I am a quilter. We use a special glove when using a rotary cutter. You can lose a finger or a toe if you drop the rotary cutter and drop it on your foot. I Also use it in the kitchen. No scapes or cuts.
About twenty years ago I bought a professional Matfer mandolin at E Dehillerin in Paris. The blades are still razor sharp! I use the guard about 95% of the time.
I made this and it came out great. The color of the sweet potato layered in makes a nice presentation. Really, really good. Also makes it easy to serve since there are individual servings. Thank you Chef.
Scrumptious. I made it on a Saturday, kept it in the fridge overnight and warmed it for Sunday dinner with your yummy loaded lasagne. Everyone loved the meal.
The "Most Dangerous " tool in the kitchen....Excellent point Chef....This damn thing has cost me 26 stiches over 40 years of cooking....Must be Respected, or it will Getcha!...Always learn something from your videos...You're a good man.
I could watch you all day. You make me smile. You make all cooking look like a fun time, and it all looks delish.you are one of my favorite chefs on iTunes. Don’t change a thing including your sense of humor.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😅🤪😍
Jean your my hero., I watch a lot of famous chef's here in the UK, but you are best, I followed a lot of advice you and recipes, your natural love in what you do is infections.
I made this recipe today. I put potatoe, custard, sweet potato, custard, and so on and so on. I actually used Too much salt. I used sharp white cheddar, Fontina, Monterey Jack. I did not have the cookie sheet so I used a 9x13 baking dish. It was tasty I must say. I think my cheese sauce was thick and not thin. I'll get better and better. Thanks Chef.
So human yet so professional - "I hate working in a dirty kitchen!" - "woops, forgot the pepper!" - it makes me feel like even I can make these wonderful recipes. Love him.
2 minutes in and I love this guy. When he lowers his voice and gives the camera a look and says "butter" I'm like that's my guy!
I love how honest he is. "The first one....is not gonna come out good." Just let it go, enjoy it as a chef's snack and know that the others will turn out ok.
This man's good nature heals the scars left by Gordon Ramsey's verbal abuse.

P.S. putting the potatoes in water to prevent discoloration - I never knew that. All these little tips. Fantastic.
lol so right also he talks to you not at you
You're so right!

I just want to say thank you Chef.
I'm elated that He said "messy", rather than "dirty". I doubt there's ANY dirt in that kitchen.
I absolutely love the little smile when chef said "use a cookie cutter... this one used to be my grandmother's..." Great respect chef.

The potato and the custard and the potato and the custard and the POTATO AND THE CUSTARD! I am 100% IN!

Just made another big tray and is now cooking in the oven. They freeze beautifully. I’m getting a start on the upcoming holiday season. So worth the effort!!!!
Chef Jean is such a pro. He is the real deal. So up front and honest. I need to make these Au Gratin potatoes like right now.
OMG I made this recipe in Muffin tray, resulted amazing, absouletly no waste, ever piece is made as a portion. Thanks for the inspiration Chef!!!
Wow Muffin Tray.... great idea.
YES, that is the best way, totally agree.
One up you. Get a tray made to bake Yorkshire pudding (which is bread, not pudding) larger portion AND great for Yorkshire pudding, both great with roasts. Aunt Bessies mix on Amazon if not a baker like me.
Oh great idea!! How high and how long do you reheat them in the oven?

The only utube chef that uses a spatula. God Bless him.
IKR! They all use those useless wooden spoons.
And he cleans as he goes! What a man🥰!
Oh NK I so agree ...when he uses his spatula I go week in the knees LOL so satisfying. He is top notch chef!
The more he talks, the more I laugh, love the measuring, and love the stories… came for the meatloaf and stayed for like 6 more videos 😂😂… great Cheff can’t wait to try some out

In the hands of a master chef like Jean-Pierre, even the most so-called "simplest" of dishes are works of high art!
Merry Christmas my dear friend Jean-Pierre! May all the blessings that you bring into our homes every Thursday be tripled for you and your family. God bless and thank you for sharing so many wonderful moments with us from your fabulous kitchen.
Happy holidays, have a glorious Christmas and an AMAZING New Year!!!😍😍😍
So refreshing to see a saucepan being scraped out to reduce waste to the bare minimum. Love it! Best wishes for the New Year, Chef.
Much of the melted cheese is there. If you didn't do that simple thing, lose $15 of cheese and sauce is too thin for the gratin. Also final gratin was in fact not firm enough.
Yes but a lot of waste after cutting.
"Try to be one hundred percent good and if you screw up, you're still going to be in the high nineties."
I love that one, and I for sure 'am going to use it every single chance I get. With full credit to Chef JP of course.
Be a life coach.
it can be for everything.
Sage advice.
🤣
Chef JP, tried out your recipe for the first time today. Although a US citizen, I was born and grew up in the UK, so my old recipes are all in degrees C. Just to make you smile..... having carefully mandolined the potatoes wafer thin, made the custard perfectly, I put it in the oven which was set at 275 degrees, and set the timer at 90 mins. After 45 mins, the kitchen was filled with the most beautiful pungent cheesy aromas - ah! good, I thought, and then (a moment later) thought - why? You can guess the punchline, and yes, I had set my oven at 275 c, not f. It is a tribute to the robustness of your recipe that it tasted delicious, probably more 'bien cuit' than it should have been, but still fantastique et delicieuse, je vous remercie beaucoups!
Merry Christmas Chef Jean--Pierre! You were one of the few bright lights of 2020!
Thanks, you too!!! Getting back on UA-cam was the best thing I did in 2020 so thanks to you and all who watched our channel! 😍😍😍😍 Merry Christmas and a super AWESOME New Year to ALL!!!!🎅
Indeed...my gf broke up with me and left with my daughter on christmass day for no reason.. but this man gives me the energy to survive the pain and giving the example ..to love what u do and what u are made for ...then u are living in the present and enjoying life even when u are suffering
Happened to me my friend - ask the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and He will truly heal you! His blood cleanses us from all sin. Do it now, we don't have a lot of time left...
@@HydraDnB Damn I can understand your pain and live life for your own happiness make yourself happy first and then make other happy wish you all the best in life.

I smile and laugh
As I watch you make Delicious
Food. 😋 YUM
Thank you for teaching me the steps to create
Dishes just like yours.
I'm so grateful !!
I love this guy!
Cheddar...
Parmesan...
Swiss (Gruyere)...
Goat Cheese...
We're gonna use three cheeses!
This guy is a fantastic inspiration for a home cook
As planned I tried it out with my (family-)famous pork roast. The potato gratin was outstanding, just following your recipe made it overly delicious. Definitely the hero of the dinner, my pork roast came only second. Thank you so much. A real treat.
WOW! I made these along with Beef Tenderloin--Mama Mia!!!! I did it along with my 10 year old! Such fun! She's off the internet! Thank you Chef! Squash soup is simmering as we speak!! Congratulation on your 1 million subscribers. Warm regards from Detroit
Finally 10am Thursday, my favorite type of potatoes dish!!! Thanks Chef
Wonderful recipe and video. 17 years ago I spent $200 on a professional mandoline and have never used it once! My husband has pestered me over the years to use it. It comes with a video. Sadly, he passed away last month so I think I’m going to watch the video and see how it works. Hopefully I can use it and honor him in some small way. If it’s too complicated I’ll attempt to sell it and buy a much less expensive one. Thanks for another great video. You’re the best!🤗🤗
Along with Pepin and Child a real human being cooking. Enjoyed this tremendously. Keep it up, chef.
The enthusiasm Chef Jean has is what Great teachers are made of. Thumbs up Chef.
Chef, your friend here made your Scalloped potato recipe, probably 10 times now, and I can't thank you enough, it's not only delicious, but it's a sensory tingling dish. The eyes, nose, mouth and stomach are all happy with the results. It may have even fed my ego some by getting so many wonderful compliments and recipe request. BTW, told everyone to watch, subscribe...and ring your bells, lol. TFS friend.
... honestly Chef JP, (and I think I can speak for most of us who watch), I don't care if you make the videos long/longer. I would've loved to watch you do this from start to finish. It just leaves me wondering when/exactly how you put in the sweet potatoe. There's so much beauty in watching you create art with food. Merci/Grazie
This is the Bob Ross of cooking... "Put 3 cheeses. Put for cheeses. Put 1 cheese if you want. There are no mistakes, just happy potato au gratin servings."
Yep 👍, I am of the Why Not 10 Cheeses school of Thought...
Totally different
Agree Happy Mouths full of goodness
With one major difference: Have you ever tried to copy what Ross made? I never did, but I am pretty certain, if I did, even if I copy his moves exactly, nothing good would come from it.
On the other hand copying Chef JPs recipes is actually quite easy.
Happy little cheese.
I’m from the Uk - South Wales near Cardiff - Wales Capital , a town called Caerphilly (we have a cheese made here and it’s called Caerphilly cheese and it’s delicious!) about 11miles from Cardiff driving and only 4 train stops away.
I love watching cooking recipes and cane across yours about 2 months ago-ish.
You have brought light into my life with cooking & I just love your Chanel & save my favourites.
(I’m 54 & not the best with tec stuff & started writing my favs down & by playing around & listening to your advice about going to the bar and liking & ringing the bell, I found I can save them & not rewind and rewind to write it all on paper I end up losing lol 😂
You capture me and I can’t stop watching your channel!
You are naturally funny & entertaining and I just giggle and constant smile through every recipe you teach us!
If ever watched all the cutting skill ones, that I probably would have with other fav chefs.
You captivate me and I’m so excited to try out your recipes and I’ve done your Marry Me Chicken, this one & a few others and trust me my friend (as you say) all have been delicious & I even do your hand gestures when I serve and tell all I cook for to watch and subscribe to your channel.
I’ve bought all your gadgets you show us and knives to get it perfect!
My next one is this slicer mandolin with guard & slice sizes.
Your getting ingredients ready to cook is just the best - can’t spell it - yr M??
Correct it makes your cooking session smooth and no flusters!! Stops you burning when u are panicking getting it and make a mess!
Just live watching you and not one I’ve made turned into a disaster as you make it so easy to follow - always delicious just as you say! Wow tasty & yummy!
Other different recipes I’ve watched and tried from other chef channels - sometimes do not taste like it looks or they say!
Yours have never failed to be perfect and scrumptious every time!
You have motivated me into wanting to cook for my family and I’ve even got an arranged one dinner evening every 2 weeks that I invite my out-laws and I send them 3 of your recipe I like I’d like to cook, for them to watch the 3 & pick one they want me to do for them and they then do same for an eve dinner at theirs 2 weeks later and send me 3 to watch and choose them to cook!
It’s so much fun and we look forward to tasting and our eve dinners we get together for & fun is the watching and choosing each of the chosen 3 at the time we send each other to cook!
You bring light into my life and got me out of a depression stage and turned my life around cooking your fantastic recipes and you make me giggle with your natural funny off the cuff words, sayings and fun things you do that never fails to make me smile and giggle!
Can’t thank you enough, we live so far away, but if I could ever chose to visit any chef in this whole wide world to experience a meal you’ve cooked and your fantastic fun energetic personality it would 💯 be you!
And your kindness cooking for ur neighbours is so lovely!
Please don’t stop my husband and out-laws (ha ha in-laws! 😂 and my children absolutely love our new dinner evenings with the help from you the best chef ever in my opinion! 💕
My parents I take your dishes too as they my dad disabled and my mum has dementia so unfortunately I don’t get to have the fun and choosing and inviting them to me, but they don’t miss out I take dishes I’ve cooked to them and they love them as well! 😋
Thank you so much I’m so grateful you have turned my life around with the excitement of cooking - chef Jean Pierre ❤
Awesome! I am glad you are enjoying the channel! 🙏❤️
@@ChefJeanPierre just keep on cooking & I will be watching. You have turned my life around and I am so grateful for finding your channel & I promote it to everyone.
You are not only a very talented gifted chef, you are a gifted person that has brought the joy & sunshine of cooking into my life & all your subscribers!
You are kind, caring for other & your energy & fantastic personality is just contagious!
Well you got me at it! I made my hubby buy a new cooker with 7 gas hobs & 3 ovens 😂😊
And all your knives & gadgets - digital thermometer, probe thermometer, little glass bowls for the M-plus!
My husband was like -
Hey! Your costing me a fortune on Amazon my love what on earth are you ordering - parcels coming left right and centre - what the hell trace??
It’s all my cooking things you will love -.trust me and next day I had him call out to me -
Hey! Oh my god! This knife is amazing, you done well my love!
(Was the huge one you use to slice chicken breasts with ease into half too and bottom! 👍💪
Hey see even a child could do it & I redeemed my expensive shopping & ordered more lol 😂
The Madeira wine, the garlic olive oil, all the salts - well every wine and spice/salt you’ve used I’ve seen so far!!
He won’t be disappointed whey he tastes my Jean Pierre dinners & I told him - ‘I got them all and they will last a little while before I need more so enjoy what they give you my love l!’
He loves the knife I did well and he will be needing bigger clothes cause you have made me want to get up each day to cook and given me some of your energy that radiates from you with such positive words & passion in your love for cooking, that you have now passed on to me just through a tv screen.
I wish I found your channel sooner you are a very gifted & talented lovely person - I’m so grateful you decided to bring such cooking light & love to me and my family 🧑🍳👨🍳♥️
Thank you for saving me from being so low & motivating me through the love of cooking.
With my parents not well, mum getting worse with dementia, sharing care between me & my sister & I also have a 13yr old daughter who has autism.
I was sinking fast as I was getting tired and no energy!
You have given me back my oomph all through cooking and your special gift your energy & fun you radiate to us all watching you! ♥️
Merry Christmas Chef! You’re of the only chefs whose videos have truly helped me become a better cook.
Me too
So very true. “It’s so simple even a child could make it!” ❤️
100% agree. I’ve been on a umami/savory mouth feel and flavor chase until I started watching his videos. Never thought of each bite of food being explosive and unique for certain meals. Examples being the fish cakes and the dressing mix.
Very awesome and yummy! Thank you much chef! Merry Christmas!🎄
@@vinnyp2618 He said, holding a 2 quart pot of molten cheese lava....haha.
People think I know my way around a kitchen, I owe it all to Chef J.P.
I am making these for dinner tonight and wondered to myself.. "I Wonder if Chef Pierre has a video of this dish" And here I am, watching this.. 2 YEARS old already!! Wow!! Must have been toward the beginning of the videos, I can tell from some of the video work, and how you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera these days..
Such a treat to watch!!
And again, I learned a few trips and techniques I didnt know from before viewing this..
thanks
Thank you 🙏
"Measure carefully" as he throws random amounts of ingredients into the pot. Love it.
He's old school lol.
If you know your food, no need for measurement.... In our culture we don't
Yeah, I agree it's funny. How about: ...you don't have it? don't worry don't put it.
What if I don't have ANY of the ingredients?
You go to the grocery store and purchase them...
And usually has a devilish twinkle in his eye
Hey Chef, I swear every time I see any of your fabulous videos, I can't help it... The corners of my mouth turn up a little, then a little more, and before long, it's an ear to ear smile! You keep us all smiling! Love it!
I can’t even watch you using the mandolin because I almost took a finger off with it and it just gives me the shivers up and down my back so I will continue to slice my potatoes with a super sharp knife as thin as possible
Food processor for the win. Mine has several slicing blades for different thicknesses and works pretty good at slicing potatoes and onions thinly for this type of dish (yes, I add onions to my potatoes au gratin}. It makes fast work of the job too. I have a mandolin and use it sometimes though I've never cut myself using it. I have experienced slight cuts, more like a papercut, from handling/cleaning it.
Chef, you truly are refreshing... merci beaucoup!!!
I love the way the chef speaks. Entertaining and educational combined together smoothly. Thank you.
The best chef is an honest chef!
There are a hand full of celebrities that just seem so real. Someone you'd like to have lunch with. Chef is one of those people for me...
Of course chef could make lunch 😂😂
Every woman on earth could make grand meals all the time if she watches your videos.... you are such a blessing to all of us......🙏🙏👍👍😘😘❤️❤️🤗😘😋yummy!!!! WOW!!!!
What a personality, Chef JP you are a legend!
Your accent is priceless!
chef you have more energy than any young chef I have seen. Just listening to you makes cooking and food interesting. You are definitely a great cook but I guess your talking through and passion while cooking is probably the best I have ever seen.
Thank you so much 😍😍😍
I love the parts where he keeps calling us friends.
Of course we are his friends.
He's not my friend! How come he never answers his phone when I call him?
Dont call me friend PAL
If you wanna make butter poached salmon from scratch, you must first create the universe
I love how he says 'ownyoan'' for onion
Mamma Mia. He is a character. I love his sense of humor. Makes it very enjoyable and his cooking tips are simple but correct
By the way Chef, I've loved everything you've produced over the years. In my opinion you're up there with Wolfgang. All of your recipes are tasty and very approachable for the average home cook. Love you man
you're fun, skilled - of course - and very talented and accessible... can't get enough of watching you cook - just real. Can't say it any simpler.
Thank you 🙏
I made your potatoes Saturday night for my dinner party. They were the STAR!! Served with medium rare fillet and grilled asparagus. YUM!
Sounds yummy!!!!
chef I just made this now. Its in the oven and will be cutting and trying tomorrow.. I did try the custard though and wow!!!!!.
This is hands down my favourite new UA-cam channel, chef John from foodwishes and binging with babich, have been demoted
😍😍😍😍😍
I still love Chef John too.
Yup, 3 of them are my fav also
You may sound goofy and devil may care but you're actually a perfectionist and an elegant cook who cares about people learning about elegant cooking. Thanks Chef for making it so fun to watch and cook.
"you can cut them into squares and be boring" LOL He''s great. Def one of the more fun chefs to watch.
I used a slightly deeper oven pan - easier to press down, less mess and no leakage on to the tray underneath. It's a lovely recipe and so nice to see an American using 'proper' cheese: in the UK we use many cheeses (I usually have about 10 different types in the fridge). This is the best ever way I have seen to make Potato Gratin - and it has elegance to impress.
I love your down to earth approach on cooking...it's inspiring. Thank you!
I am a quilter. We use a special glove when using a rotary cutter. You can lose a finger or a toe if you drop the rotary cutter and drop it on your foot. I Also use it in the kitchen. No scapes or cuts.
"A child could do it!" - I just love it when he says that 😆
New to Chef Jean - Pierre but never before been so addicted to any channel ! Brilliant in every sense - et voila cest Bon
About twenty years ago I bought a professional Matfer mandolin at E Dehillerin in Paris. The blades are still razor sharp! I use the guard about 95% of the time.
Good idea that one does not forgive!!! 😍😍😍
I have the same mandolin. I also use a Kevlar glove!
@@OrenNoah the mandolin is great, but WATCH your fingers!
I never take short cuts with this one ☝️
@@texasboy5117 For sure! It wouldn’t even know it was cutting off on appendage.
Most entreating Chef on UA-cam, by far!
I made this and it came out great. The color of the sweet potato layered in makes a nice presentation. Really, really good. Also makes it easy to serve since there are individual servings.
Thank you Chef.
Scrumptious. I made it on a Saturday, kept it in the fridge overnight and warmed it for Sunday dinner with your yummy loaded lasagne. Everyone loved the meal.
The "Most Dangerous " tool in the kitchen....Excellent point Chef....This damn thing has cost me 26 stiches over 40 years of cooking....Must be Respected, or it will Getcha!...Always learn something from your videos...You're a good man.
Yeah good bit of advice Chef, I cut the end of my little finger off on one of these when I got distracted
That's why I spent an extra $30 and bought an electric deli slicer!!
Blood in blood out ! Lick it up !
@@Captaincustom74 lol movie and kiss tune, 🤠
Mine was the slicer in 1984. No guard on it and warm Emmentaler 😱😫😆
You're a real pro...the best!! Not to mention very entertaining and fun. Best on UA-cam.
I could watch you all day. You make me smile. You make all cooking look like a fun time, and it all looks delish.you are one of my favorite chefs on iTunes. Don’t change a thing including your sense of humor.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😅🤪😍
Utube
Jean your my hero., I watch a lot of famous chef's here in the UK, but you are best, I followed a lot of advice you and recipes, your natural love in what you do is infections.
I love how he tries to sell you sensually on the prospect of buttering the pan vs cooking spray.
I made this recipe today. I put potatoe, custard, sweet potato, custard, and so on and so on. I actually used Too much salt. I used sharp white cheddar, Fontina, Monterey Jack. I did not have the cookie sheet so I used a 9x13 baking dish. It was tasty I must say. I think my cheese sauce was thick and not thin. I'll get better and better. Thanks Chef.
Sweet Potato...Love them! Got to try this unique recipe! Thanks again Chef!
chef you are the best out right now hands down!!! so pure
I was going to do roasties, (roast potatoe), with my lamb for Christmas dinner. Change of plan, Potatoes Au Gratin is now on the menu. Thank You chef!
Chef Jean-Pierre is the best! “Hello friends”! I love it
That looks so perfect! Thank you for sharing the secrets!❤️
Seriously entertaining while teaching kitchen skills, winning my heart Chef Jean-Pierre.
