Hello Chef! Please ignore anybody that tells you that your videos are too long. There are so many chefs, cooks, and hobbyists on UA-cam to watch. We (I am) here because I chose to follow you, just the way you are. I appreciate you slowing down and explaining things. This is something that a lot of other channels don't offer. It's ok to be different and go against the grain (just like a good steak. -see, you taught us that) No need to feel rushed or that your videos are too long. WE. LOVE. THEM!!!
Who ever is saying that Chef Jean's videos are too long, are not interested in learning how to cook. They are only interested in criticizing his videos. I like how Chef explained things in details/ step by step rather than a cooking channel where the Chef only shows the finish product of his videos without explanation how it was cooked.
@@colekter5940 I should have a link to it (unlisted) I asked the chef on one of the videos (forgot which one though) and he replied with the unlisted link! If they see this comment I think they will send it again, not sure i’m allowed to re-post it here due to copyright
I’ve loved cooking for over 30 years. Honest to God, this channel has improved my cooking skills more in the last 3 years than everything else combined for the previous 30. It’s not the recipes- which are great! It’s the TECHNIQUES and the philosophy and as chef says, the WHY behind them! Anyone can read a recipe and try it. It’s Chef’s explanation of the principles behind them that are applied to numerous other situations which is so important. I hope you continue this channel forever! Thank you for everything.
CJP; You were once chastised for asking "why" when You were a student. So glad We got past that era (I Myself always questioned: the answer was always "because I said so").@@ChefJeanPierre
Hello Chef Jean Pierre, when you explain the "why" you do what you do with a professional explanation is the reason I have been following you all these years. This video was a great way for us to get review the Thanksgiving recipes you did before. Great Job. Best Regards
This was the best idea Chef did by adding commentary to his existing videos. You said it yourself, you are now relaxed and can explain certain things and/or "fix" a mistake ( but not really mistakes). Please Chef, do more of these! Talk him into it Jack.
You are a great patriot, Chef. I love to see someone who came to this country and loves and appreciates America. Thank you for all you do. Because of you I am becoming a much better cook! Happy Thanksgiving!
For the past two years I have cooked every holiday dinner for my now 89 year old father in law. Every entree, side and desert (and eggnog) recipe was yours Chef. 15 invited guests and sometimes a walk-in and never help with sides or washing dishes. Everyone raves but no one helps. I will bite my tongue (even though it's the conductor of flavor) and keep on serving up your dishes Chef as long as my "Pop" wants. Thank you, Chef for making him happy at holiday dinners after Mom-Mom's passing.
Love it! Love it! Keep the long format. There are too many who stand in front of a microwave and say “Hurry Up”. This format gives us foodies time to luxuriate in what you have to share. I am so very grateful that I happened upon your channel. No, THANK YOU.
Don’t worry about the length of the videos. I’m 46 (chronic illness has me at home now) and just started learning to cook and you are my absolute favorite teacher! The more details the better! You have no idea how much you have contributed to my newfound LOVE of cooking! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, making it okay to mess up, AND making it fun! 👩🍳💜
Awww, Jenny.. I hope that you're doing okay, but it's great to hear how Chef JP has given you a newfound love of cooking!!! 🤗 ~~~BTW, that puppy in your picture is TOOooOOooOO FLIPPING ADORABLE!!! 🐶💕🐾
@@bearpawz_ Thank you, I’m okay, it’s chronic migraines. That’s my puppy girl Cupcake and sister (harder to see in pic) is Cannoli. I might be biased but I sure do agree with you. Thank you for your comment, it really made me smile! 💜🐶🐶💜
I've been cooking for 50 years - Your channel has filled in many of the blanks I couldn't learn on my own. It has confirmed many of the things I've experienced, but were contrary to what was on TV or UA-cam. Since watching your channel, I have developed my own recipes; taking the "why's" something works and combining them with different ingredients. Happy Thanksgiving Chef.
Who could ever say you talk too much? I could listen to your beautiful voice 24/7. And of course, you impart knowledge, kindness, wisdom and love with every word you speak. Thank you Chef ♥️
Thank you for sharing this treasure. I am 73 and this is the first time my gravy was excellent, the cranberry sauce was superb and everything else was fabulous. You are a golden jewel, thank you so much for making meals delectable
This is a wonderful channel by a wonderful Chef with a fantastic behind the scenes team. I listened to some of this video on my drive to work, then again driving home tonight and again watching more after supper. I can't believe how generous Chef Jean-Pierre is with sharing his knowledge and expertise with us. I watch at least a few of Chef's videos every day now, learning so much. Jean-Pierre, you are a beautiful person and a natural teacher - so engaging and hold the audience attention so very well - I can (and do) listen to you quite happily for hours. It's been a very tough time for me these past weeks but I'm so much happier and laughing watching your cooking classes and entertaining commentary. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
My brother passed away about a month ago. A week before he passed, he said what a great cook I was, and he wasn't bad himself. I do love to cook great meals. But Jean-Pierre, your love for cooking not only shows in all your other videos, but this one can leave no doubt, with the fact that you sat in-front of your stove for OVER 3 hours, not only reacting too, but also still being entertaining while still adding to the technics as well as adding knowledge to the reviewed ones in this particular video, that love clearly comes through.
You have no idea how entertaining and life saver you are. My husband with stage 4 cancer is watching every show, you have made our food choices and techniques far better and more creative. I even bumble your favorite wording while cutting basil in " chiffonade " or " mallard reaction ", when preparing steaks or braising osso bucco. We love you so much. Thank you for everything ❤😊
Frankly, I could spend all day watching Jean-Pierre and trying all his creations! I share his gratitude for America as I also went there years ago and had an "AMAZING" career. Now retired and cooking in old Europe. HAPPY THANKSGIVING JP!
So could I....I have watched so many and over & over too.....He has some great recipes on here....still want to try that Famous Bacon Meatloaf he makes.....it looks so delicious.....🤣😋
The "why" is so important. I'm constantly in awe of how much I know about cooking, and it's because I now know why I cook certain ingredients in a certain way. I can recreate a dish now just from tasting it, no recipe! You're the best, chef!
This channel found me yesterday. I am so thankful it did. God bless you and America. Thank you for doing what you do. I'll post my results of these recipes as they happen. Thank you, 1000 times, thank you 😊
I love how you change up your formatting or presentation. Sitting there, WITH US, and commenting is genius. Must be Jack's Idea!! I really appreciated the video you did sitting in your living room answering questions about yourself and other things. So Personal. You have revolutionized, the next LEVEL of YT presentation and personalization.
Chef, you are amazing! I totally admire you for your fabulous work. The reason why I love to watch and also to recommend your Chanel to other people is, because you are so much informative. I can't recall a better teacher on UA-cam regarding cooking. And I love your style and humor as well. Also I like to watch your videos for recreational purpose, it works great for me against stress. So, your videos can't be long enough for me. 👍😁 Greetings from Germany. 👋
I know our Thanksgivings have been so much better after studying and watching you over the years. Thanks for putting this together Chef! We’re forever grateful for all you’ve done to teach us your ways.
Hello Chef JP and Jack! This is a wonderful video of the best moments. I enjoy when you share tidbits of history, family and just plain fun. You can tell how much you enjoy teaching everyone and to just have fun cooking. It's not rocket science, it's just joyful cooking. I am very thankful for you, Chef JP. I've learned so much from you and it helped me understand why my Mother did certain things cooking when I was younger. It all makes so much sense now.🥰
This is fantastic!! Great idea to do this video with the narration. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone at the Chef Jean-Pierre UA-cam channel! 🦃🍁❤
One of my favorite things watching Chef Jean Pierre is how he wiggles his fingers and opens his eyes SO WIDE when he tastes his delicious creations! What a WONDERFUL personality he has! I love his enthusiasm!
The length of your videos -along wiht your knowledge, passion, and humour- are a part of why I watch. I is a pretty rare Sunday family supper that I prepare where I don't at least use a method or a technique (not to mention recipes) I've learned from you!
What l thoroughly enjoyed about watching this great long video (it was like a super good movie) was watching the Chef watching himself...all the smiles,nods of the head and interacting comments...it was awesome !
Nonstop 3+ hours with Chef JP! What a great time for the wife and myself. It is like having an old friend in the house with us on the big screen. It is so neat watching you react almost the same in the in picture as you were when you were making the dishes. It shows your passion and commitment to your art. Have the happiest and most blessed Thanksgiving ever Chef!
I really love your videos and I like how you take the time to explain and they are NEVER to long for me. I can't tell you you how many things I have learned just watching your videos!
It's so wonderful to watch you in stereo. So great to have the whole set of Thanksgiving Favorites condensed, grouped together and two of you instructing at the same time❤
I LOVE this channel! Ever since I found it, I've probably watched 2 videos a day, minimum, and each one teaches me something new. Thank you so much for what you do!
Can confirm two recipes are must makes - Gravy, Green Beans & Cranberry Sauce - I usually cook for 35+ people when my family puts on Thanksgiving. They loved it. This year, since my wife's family is cooking, I'm taking the cranberry sauce (my Mother In Law loved the test batch I made last year) Bottom line, make all of this. I made the gravy/sauce on Tuesday, all were a crowd pleasure.
Chef, I have been using your recipes for three years, and they are amazing! This Thanksgiving 2023, the complements I received about the juicy, tender, flavorful turkey were a testimonial to you and your ability to communicate your recipes to us, the novice chefs. Thank you so much for sharing. My kitchen experiences have become a passion for cooking. Best wishes to you for the coming New Year.
I am overwhelmed by your love of cooking and your new education formula. It’s fatastic, thank you JP and Jack. May God keep you for the wedding feast of the lamb. Be blessed!
I just Love you man. Been watching since covid and you have no idea what you did for me! You're humer along with some damn good cooking techniques saved me. Cooking always made me feel normal but you my friend.... made life worth living for again. Thank you sir!
All I can say is that was amazing. Thank you Chef for taking the time to teach us all those amazing recipes and also give us extra tips and commentary.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Chef! You make it so fun to watch and learn I forget that it's actually an instructional video. You have helped the average home cook to elevate their game and share it with their families. I look forward to many more videos from you and Jack. God bless you both.
You are a national treasure. Don’t ever change what you are doing, it is perfect. So many of us are better cooks and more knowledgeable about the “why” because of you.
Chef..You're an inspiration to many. You've taken people out of restaurants and take out and put them in the kitchen and made it a family affair. I've watched your videos since day one and I've learned so many techniques which made me a better cook at home. Thank you God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Un Gros Merci.
I love that you explain why you do things because as a young chef it means that I'm always learning something even if i don't fancy the recipe as a whole. It also means I can apply these techniques and processes in my own recipes and become my own skilled chef as oppose to just a replica of someone else. You are special because you don't just teach recipes but you teach how to be a better cook as a whole. I watch every video without fail and take in as much as possible even if I hate half the ingredients and would never eat it just because I know there will be something golden to learn somewhere.
I am 65 cooking years young and still learning. And oh, how much I have learned in such a short time from our dear Chef JP. No notes needed when I watch his videos. He explains his process and you retain his info. He loves what he does and so it's easy to love cooking too. There are so so many laughs as we watch " go to Tic tac toc channel" " this keeps for 17 years in the freezer" and many hours. On a gloomy day I always turn to a Chef JP video which is guaranteed to be a ray of sunshine. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Chef. ( don't know if you get a chance to read your comments as you have so many followers) Anyway, hopefully you read this and know my deep gratitude for your efforts. Long live the butter and booze !
I really like seeing this more calm, collected side of Chef Jean-Pierre. Very nice hearing all these little details he might've missed during those videos.
Just starting into watching this and wanted to say I LOVE the format and rewatching some recipes/tips that I will incorporate going forward! I have a butternut squash waiting in my tiny apartment pantry that will ultimately be made into a luscious Chef JP inspired recipe! Thanks for this recap! LOVE IT!!!!!
Chef, that’s not an immersion blender; that’s a friggin’ outboard motor! 🤣 Happy Thanksgiving, Chef! On Thanksgiving, each it’s a tradition in my family for each member to say what we’re grateful for-I am grateful for you & Jack-thank you for making these wonderful videos that are instructional but so filled with love and humor ♥️
I have just about three hours until the tennis match that I want to watch will start. I'll be making a casual butternut squash soup and do some kitchen clean-up while having you with me on my phone. You are a great company and I could be listening to you for HOURS! Thank you for being you! Love from Serbia! ❤
We watched the whole program today and enjoyed all of your recipes. You are my daughter’s favorite. We both know everything you do is delicious. Thank you for sharing amazing techniques. I’ve been cooking for more than 40 years and you still do things that I never have learned before. I’m always full of joy learning something new! Thank you!
A 3+ hr video of Chef Jean-Pierre? Did I die & go to the great kitchen in the sky? This is a wish come true for me! I prefer long videos. The longer the video the more I learn. Also with the longer video you, Chef, won't feel rushed to get things done. To all those who want short videos, guess what, Good Food Takes TIME! I enjoyed this video so much I watched it 3 times. Don't worry about repeating yourself. Repetition builds memory. You give us the "Why"! If I could have made my Mother understand the importance of actually answering the "why," it would have been easier for her to teach me. You have taught me more with answering the "why" than she ever did with the "because I said so." I got such a kick out of you critiquing your own videos. You not only validated your skill, but your honesty & love of cooking. Bless your parents for having you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. And yes, I remember watching you on T.V. sitting next to my Mom (may she rest in peace) on the couch & asking her, "Why?" as we watched. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your Mrs., Jack, The whole Chef JP Team, & to everyone who took the time to watch, like, & subscribe! Edited for grammar.
When I was 9 years old, my mother told me, "If you like to eat, you need to learn to cook, because that's something I don't do". Fortunately, my best friend's mother was French and taught French cooking. She died ten years ago and left me without inspiration. Now, I have you. Smile.
Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with us! I watched the whole video and will probably watch it again and again. I can't wait to try the recipes. It was fun watching you watching and critiquing yourself! I always enjoy watching you cook. You have "amazing" recipes, a great sense of humor, and truly a gift for teaching others! America is blessed to have such a patriot as yourself when so many people these days do not appreciate the great country in which we live! Jack and the crew do a great job of creating and editing the videos. May God Bless You and your family, and God Bless America!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I watched the whole 3 hours. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was. I was taught at a very early age how (I thought) to cook. I cooked that way all of my life. Little did I know it was the incorrect. I also was told "this is the way you do it." So, everything you teach here is not only "how" but "why' and we really appreciate that. I have now learned how and why to do things the proper way and to make not just ok meals but amazing meals by following your channel. You're an amazing man, great teacher and a fabulous chef! Thank you Jean Pierre.
I truly enjoyed watching the whole thing with you Chef! Got some extra tips from you and loved your interaction with us. Whishing you and Jack a fabulous Thanksgiving as well as all your American subscribers. I am certainly going to make all of these amazing dishes for Christmas. LOVE your channel Chef!
Chef, watched the entire 3+ hours in one sitting. Looking forward to doing the turkey and the cheesecake this Thanksgiving. I can’t thank you enough for changing cooking from a chore to a joy. Your tips, tricks, humor and recipes have elevated my abilities to a whole new level. Never apologize for either the length of your videos or your explanation of the proper use of a micro grater. You inspire, educate, entertain, all of us. I hope you (and Jack) have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
🎉 Thanksgiving Update!!! My son-in-law is very very picky and I have tried everything to impress him. Nothing until I made ALL of your Thanksgiving dishes. I presented them tonight and he loved ❤ every single one of them! 😊 He then suggested that we keep them for tomorrow's lunch and dinner. He didn't want me to take them home! 😄 Thank you so much!! You made my Thanksgiving Beautiful ❤❤🎉😊
For anyone who might be skeptical…this will be my third year making Chef’s Sage and Orange Butter turkey; traditional gravy and cranberry sauce. They are fabulous and my family looks forward to them every year. Our family tradition ( 53 years) includes a lighter cornbread dressing, squash casserole and some form of green bean dish and mashed potatoes and light fluffy dinner rolls. Happy Thanksgiving Chef!
Thank you, Chef, for taking the time to collect these videos this way, you've made my Thanksgiving meal planning that much easier. I really enjoyed your reactions/commentary too. Another amazing video. I look forward to your new releases every week. Also thank you for teaching me how to carve a turkey! Happy holidays to you, Jack, your families, and the whole crew!😀
This year, I am giving thanks for landing me in Chef Jean Pierre's channel. You taught us a lot to make good meals. We will be giving thanks to you Chef during our Thanks Giving Meal
Thank you Chef….I’ve NEVER had more fun preparing. ..cooking…eating such a delicious turkey ! I watch you every time I’m hungry or not ….big hug ! And your explanation (why why why) is priceless..thank you !
The people that say you talk too much are the people that watch short videos with no talking ,no intention of making the food but always comment “looks yummy” , video is always filmed from above, always with stupid loud chirpy music, no ingredients list or shows it so quick you have to watch five times. They’re not real chefs just people who can add cheese on noodles 😊
I just realized I handled my butternut squash which made me buy the canned stuff. Now I feel like making it again following use your technique. Thanks chef you’re great!
Chef...Great show today. As always you were entertaining and your tips and tricks are very useful. Didn't think I had the time even though my wife and I are fully retired to sit for several hours we did and fully enjoyed every minute of it. We look forward until the next time you do a video like this one. Would love to see the lemonchello cheese cake recipe. Thanks again Wes
I could and have watched your videos all day long and never get bored. I love how you explain things so well. Please make your videos as long as you want. I'll be watching for sure 😊💜💜 and yes, I watched the whole thing.
Here in the UK we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I will always celebrate great food and you are the only chef I follow regularly on UA-cam. Don't worry about talking too much, we learn better when we know the reasons why things are done a certain way, and we love your passion and humour. I might not make many of your recipes exactly as shown, but I take elements of them to make up my own all the time. It will take a while to get through this long video, but I will do it, even if it takes several separate viewings :)
I sat through the whole video and enjoyed it very much! Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday also- I spend at least three days making everything from scratch so I can be relaxed the whole time. Your turkey really inspired me- I learned a lot- I’m 69 and still love making homemade food. Thank you!
Thank you. I’m so blessed to have you Chef , Jack and the crew You are very appreciated. I love your cooking, stories , humor and wisdom. Thank you. ❤. Keep Talking About Everything ❤
Thanks Chef! I think this was your best video yet. I really liked the format. With making the gravy ahead, making the cheesecake and sauce ahead, prepping the beans ahead, prepping the bacon wrapped turkey ahead, mixing the dressing ahead, the Thanksgiving dinner is going to be amazing this year. Thanks again. After holiday feedback. Made the gravy, the dressing, the bacon wrapped turkey breast, the mashed potatoes, the butternut squash soup, the cranberry sauce, the green beans. Added the Brussels sprouts. Skipped the cheesecake - a guest was bringing dessert. Dinner was wonderful! Company potluck is coming up - I am bringing the bacon wrapped turkey. I am going to roast it on a rack so the bacon on the bottom gets a little more browned. Thanks again for your wonderful lessons and recipes.
If there is something funnier than watching Chef Jean Pierre watch and react to his own shenanigans, I don't know what it is!! I know I speak for many of us when I say that we look forward to the holiday season for all your holiday recipes, but also for the special videos you always make around this time of year. Keep up the great work - the entire team is loved and appreciated!!
It's been amazing to not just learning better ways to cook amazing dishes, but to see how your channel has progressed over the last 3 years! Keep it up Chef JP. Oh, I almost forgot, of course I watched the whole video! How could I not!
Hello Chef JP!! You are the best! I will watch this video after work today. I'd love to hear about the kind of feasts your family had in France growing up. You are God's gift to home cooking.
What a treat! Thank you Chef. I can watch this for days as a countdown to Thanksgiving. My assignment for this year's family gathering is caviar pie and corn pudding. Would love to know your take on those dishes one day.
Bonjour Chef. Just so you know, this video was fun to watch with you adding comments. Now, for those that say or think that the videos are too long, well, those are never too long, it is so special to spend time with you and LEARN something. Been a sub. for a long time and I have learn so so much, I made so many of the recipes and still do and it is always a pleasure. I know how to cook because I watched you and YOU took the TIME for me and many others to learn properly. Much love and appreciation to YOU, Chef. - Rosalind - ❤ .... and yes I did watched till the end and enjoyed every minute of it ! Bravo, Chef and Jack for the wonderful work. Happy Thanks Giving to both of you and your family. ❤❤❤
Thank you Chef. This is my number 1 favorite cooking show. I love your recipes and you always make me smile and laugh too. I HAVE to make that cheese cake!!! You make recipes easy to understand and have helped me add some extra jeuje to my cooking. I love growing a garden and turning that wonderful food into a delightful experience. I watch your channel even for entertainment and learn as a bonus. Happy thanksgiving Jean-Pierre.
I watched the whole thing...even though I've seen them all before. So entertaining! I'm going to do the turkey this way, and try the stuffing this year, and definitely the cranberry sauce so I can sample the Gran Marnier while I cook it. Everyone loved that cranberry sauce last year. Don't forget the mashed potatoes! Thank you, dear Chef! You're THE BEST!

For the past two years I have cooked every holiday dinner for my now 89 year old father in law. Every entree, side and desert (and eggnog) recipe was yours Chef. 15 invited guests and sometimes a walk-in and never help with sides or washing dishes. Everyone raves but no one helps. I will bite my tongue (even though it's the conductor of flavor) and keep on serving up your dishes Chef as long as my "Pop" wants.

I hope he still alive I’ve through some crap it’s horrible.

I share his gratitude for America as I also went there years ago and had an "AMAZING" career.
Now retired and cooking in old Europe.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING JP!

So could I....I have watched so many and over & over too.....He has some great recipes on here....still want to try that Famous Bacon Meatloaf he makes.....it looks so delicious.....🤣😋
The "why" is so important. I'm constantly in awe of how much I know about cooking, and it's because I now know why I cook certain ingredients in a certain way. I can recreate a dish now just from tasting it, no recipe! You're the best, chef!
Chef...you had me giggling & marvelling & drooling for 3.25 hrs...but what's more, you had me gaining inspiration! Merci beaucoup🎁
I am so glad you enjoyed the video, Happy Thanksgiving !!! 🦃🙏❤️
This channel found me yesterday. I am so thankful it did. God bless you and America. Thank you for doing what you do. I'll post my results of these recipes as they happen. Thank you, 1000 times, thank you 😊
We are so fortunate to have you here. I appreciate the lessons. Others go so fast, you have to be fast. Thank you!
Chef, I think you are wonderful. Last night I fell upon videos of you, some 30 years ago. Amazing. You just ROCK!
I love how you change up your formatting or presentation. Sitting there, WITH US, and commenting is genius. Must be Jack's Idea!! I really appreciated the video you did sitting in your living room answering questions about yourself and other things. So Personal. You have revolutionized, the next LEVEL of YT presentation and personalization.
Chef, you are amazing! I totally admire you for your fabulous work.
The reason why I love to watch and also to recommend your Chanel to other people is, because you are so much informative.
I can't recall a better teacher on UA-cam regarding cooking.
And I love your style and humor as well.
Also I like to watch your videos for recreational purpose, it works great for me against stress.
So, your videos can't be long enough for me. 👍😁
Greetings from Germany. 👋
I know our Thanksgivings have been so much better after studying and watching you over the years. Thanks for putting this together Chef! We’re forever grateful for all you’ve done to teach us your ways.
Hello Chef JP and Jack! This is a wonderful video of the best moments. I enjoy when you share tidbits of history, family and just plain fun. You can tell how much you enjoy teaching everyone and to just have fun cooking. It's not rocket science, it's just joyful cooking. I am very thankful for you, Chef JP. I've learned so much from you and it helped me understand why my Mother did certain things cooking when I was younger. It all makes so much sense now.🥰
This is fantastic!! Great idea to do this video with the narration. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone at the Chef Jean-Pierre UA-cam channel! 🦃🍁❤
Thank you, And you too, !! 😊
One of my favorite things watching Chef Jean Pierre is how he wiggles his fingers and opens his eyes SO WIDE when he tastes his delicious creations! What a WONDERFUL personality he has! I love his enthusiasm!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
The length of your videos -along wiht your knowledge, passion, and humour- are a part of why I watch. I is a pretty rare Sunday family supper that I prepare where I don't at least use a method or a technique (not to mention recipes) I've learned from you!
What l thoroughly enjoyed about watching this great long video (it was like a super good movie) was watching the Chef watching himself...all the smiles,nods of the head and interacting comments...it was awesome !
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Nonstop 3+ hours with Chef JP! What a great time for the wife and myself. It is like having an old friend in the house with us on the big screen. It is so neat watching you react almost the same in the in picture as you were when you were making the dishes. It shows your passion and commitment to your art. Have the happiest and most blessed Thanksgiving ever Chef!
I really love your videos and I like how you take the time to explain and they are NEVER to long for me. I can't tell you you how many things I have learned just watching your videos!
It's so wonderful to watch you in stereo. So great to have the whole
set of Thanksgiving Favorites condensed, grouped together and two of you instructing at the same time❤
I LOVE this channel! Ever since I found it, I've probably watched 2 videos a day, minimum, and each one teaches me something new. Thank you so much for what you do!
Can confirm two recipes are must makes - Gravy, Green Beans & Cranberry Sauce - I usually cook for 35+ people when my family puts on Thanksgiving. They loved it. This year, since my wife's family is cooking, I'm taking the cranberry sauce (my Mother In Law loved the test batch I made last year)
Bottom line, make all of this. I made the gravy/sauce on Tuesday, all were a crowd pleasure.
Chef, I have been using your recipes for three years, and they are amazing! This Thanksgiving 2023, the complements I received about the juicy, tender, flavorful turkey were a testimonial to you and your ability to communicate your recipes to us, the novice chefs. Thank you so much for sharing. My kitchen experiences have become a passion for cooking. Best wishes to you for the coming New Year.
I am overwhelmed by your love of cooking and your new education formula. It’s fatastic, thank you JP and Jack. May God keep you for the wedding feast of the lamb. Be blessed!
I just Love you man. Been watching since covid and you have no idea what you did for me! You're humer along with some damn good cooking techniques saved me. Cooking always made me feel normal but you my friend.... made life worth living for again. Thank you sir!
Right about now I'm giving thanks to the Good Lord for sending Chef Jean Pierre to our fair shores! Bon Appetit!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
I couldn't say it better.
Amen to that!!! 👍👏👏
Yes indeed...amén!
You are the most awesome chef EVER!!! I love watching you.
All I can say is that was amazing. Thank you Chef for taking the time to teach us all those amazing recipes and also give us extra tips and commentary.
I love the way this man cooks. I like trying to guess what it is he is doing. Makes my cooking great.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Chef! You make it so fun to watch and learn I forget that it's actually an instructional video. You have helped the average home cook to elevate their game and share it with their families. I look forward to many more videos from you and Jack. God bless you both.
You are a national treasure. Don’t ever change what you are doing, it is perfect. So many of us are better cooks and more knowledgeable about the “why” because of you.
Thank you!! I love the long format! The more of you the merrier:) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God bless you!
Chef..You're an inspiration to many. You've taken people out of restaurants and take out and put them in the kitchen and made it a family affair. I've watched your videos since day one and I've learned so many techniques which made me a better cook at home. Thank you God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Un Gros Merci.
🙏🙏🙏❤️
This is honestly the best way to spend my day 💗 I love your longer videos so much!
I love that you explain why you do things because as a young chef it means that I'm always learning something even if i don't fancy the recipe as a whole. It also means I can apply these techniques and processes in my own recipes and become my own skilled chef as oppose to just a replica of someone else. You are special because you don't just teach recipes but you teach how to be a better cook as a whole. I watch every video without fail and take in as much as possible even if I hate half the ingredients and would never eat it just because I know there will be something golden to learn somewhere.
We're grateful for you, J-P! So glad you made your way to the States.
I am 65 cooking years young and still learning. And oh, how much I have learned in such a short time from our dear Chef JP. No notes needed when I watch his videos. He explains his process and you retain his info. He loves what he does and so it's easy to love cooking too. There are so so many laughs as we watch " go to Tic tac toc channel" " this keeps for 17 years in the freezer" and many hours. On a gloomy day I always turn to a Chef JP video which is guaranteed to be a ray of sunshine. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Chef. ( don't know if you get a chance to read your comments as you have so many followers) Anyway, hopefully you read this and know my deep gratitude for your efforts. Long live the butter and booze !
I really like seeing this more calm, collected side of Chef Jean-Pierre. Very nice hearing all these little details he might've missed during those videos.
Just starting into watching this and wanted to say I LOVE the format and rewatching some recipes/tips that I will incorporate going forward! I have a butternut squash waiting in my tiny apartment pantry that will ultimately be made into a luscious Chef JP inspired recipe! Thanks for this recap! LOVE IT!!!!!
I watched everything with great enthusiasm, it was a pleasure to review the videos with you, my beloved Chef!
Chef, that’s not an immersion blender; that’s a friggin’ outboard motor! 🤣
Happy Thanksgiving, Chef! On Thanksgiving, each it’s a tradition in my family for each member to say what we’re grateful for-I am grateful for you & Jack-thank you for making these wonderful videos that are instructional but so filled with love and humor ♥️
I have just about three hours until the tennis match that I want to watch will start. I'll be making a casual butternut squash soup and do some kitchen clean-up while having you with me on my phone. You are a great company and I could be listening to you for HOURS! Thank you for being you! Love from Serbia! ❤
Oh Chef I appreciate the length of your videos.
Thank you!
🕊❤🇨🇦🥘
🙏🙏🙏❤️
@@ChefJeanPierre
We are making this for our Christmas eve dinner!
Thank you again!
🕊❤🕯🥘🙏🏻
We watched the whole program today and enjoyed all of your recipes. You are my daughter’s favorite. We both know everything you do is delicious. Thank you for sharing amazing techniques. I’ve been cooking for more than 40 years and you still do things that I never have learned before. I’m always full of joy learning something new! Thank you!
A 3+ hr video of Chef Jean-Pierre? Did I die & go to the great kitchen in the sky? This is a wish come true for me!
I prefer long videos. The longer the video the more I learn. Also with the longer video you, Chef, won't feel rushed to get things done. To all those who want short videos, guess what, Good Food Takes TIME!
I enjoyed this video so much I watched it 3 times.
Don't worry about repeating yourself. Repetition builds memory. You give us the "Why"! If I could have made my Mother understand the importance of actually answering the "why," it would have been easier for her to teach me.
You have taught me more with answering the "why" than she ever did with the "because I said so."
I got such a kick out of you critiquing your own videos. You not only validated your skill, but your honesty & love of cooking. Bless your parents for having you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. And yes, I remember watching you on T.V. sitting next to my Mom (may she rest in peace) on the couch & asking her, "Why?" as we watched.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, your Mrs., Jack, The whole Chef JP Team, & to everyone who took the time to watch, like, & subscribe!
Edited for grammar.
Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 😊
Chef is always in a positive mood, love it! lol
Finally! A Chef Jean-Pierre video that is long enough! What a wonderful way to spend the evening! Thank you so much Chef!!
When I was 9 years old, my mother told me, "If you like to eat, you need to learn to cook, because that's something I don't do". Fortunately, my best friend's mother was French and taught French cooking. She died ten years ago and left me without inspiration. Now, I have you. Smile.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with us! I watched the whole video and will probably watch it again and again. I can't wait to try the recipes. It was fun watching you watching and critiquing yourself! I always enjoy watching you cook. You have "amazing" recipes, a great sense of humor, and truly a gift for teaching others! America is blessed to have such a patriot as yourself when so many people these days do not appreciate the great country in which we live! Jack and the crew do a great job of creating and editing the videos. May God Bless You and your family, and God Bless America!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I watched the whole 3 hours. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was. I was taught at a very early age how (I thought) to cook. I cooked that way all of my life. Little did I know it was the incorrect. I also was told "this is the way you do it." So, everything you teach here is not only "how" but "why' and we really appreciate that. I have now learned how and why to do things the proper way and to make not just ok meals but amazing meals by following your channel. You're an amazing man, great teacher and a fabulous chef! Thank you Jean Pierre.
👏👏👏❤️
Love your channel, you’re such a great teacher!!!
I truly enjoyed watching the whole thing with you Chef! Got some extra tips from you and loved your interaction with us. Whishing you and Jack a fabulous Thanksgiving as well as all your American subscribers. I am certainly going to make all of these amazing dishes for Christmas. LOVE your channel Chef!
I am thankful this year that I found your channel. You're Amazing.
Happy Thanksgiving, Chef! Thank you for making my kitchen a happier place.
I really love when I see a new Chef Jean-Pierre video and it is long! This is an extra-special video!!!
I love this concept of reviewing recipes with comments from Chef Pierre in the corner of the screen. LOVE this vlog!
Chef, watched the entire 3+ hours in one sitting. Looking forward to doing the turkey and the cheesecake this Thanksgiving. I can’t thank you enough for changing cooking from a chore to a joy. Your tips, tricks, humor and recipes have elevated my abilities to a whole new level.
Never apologize for either the length of your videos or your explanation of the proper use of a micro grater. You inspire, educate, entertain, all of us.
I hope you (and Jack) have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
oh i want that stuffing
🎉 Thanksgiving Update!!!
My son-in-law is very very picky and I have tried everything to impress him. Nothing until I made ALL of your Thanksgiving dishes. I presented them tonight and he loved ❤ every single one of them! 😊
He then suggested that we keep them for tomorrow's lunch and dinner. He didn't want me to take them home! 😄
Thank you so much!!
You made my Thanksgiving Beautiful ❤❤🎉😊
For anyone who might be skeptical…this will be my third year making Chef’s Sage and Orange Butter turkey; traditional gravy and cranberry sauce. They are fabulous and my family looks forward to them every year. Our family tradition ( 53 years) includes a lighter cornbread dressing, squash casserole and some form of green bean dish and mashed potatoes and light fluffy dinner rolls. Happy Thanksgiving Chef!
I did his turkey 2 years in a row. Best chef! Best food!
@Kitchensurprise I've always made my cranberry sauce just as Chef does minus the adult twist...WILL be trying that this year however!!
How is my favorite chef doing? It is good to see you AND hear you for as long as you want to go. You are the only boss ❤
Thank you, Chef, for taking the time to collect these videos this way, you've made my Thanksgiving meal planning that much easier. I really enjoyed your reactions/commentary too. Another amazing video. I look forward to your new releases every week. Also thank you for teaching me how to carve a turkey! Happy holidays to you, Jack, your families, and the whole crew!😀
This year, I am giving thanks for landing me in Chef Jean Pierre's channel. You taught us a lot to make good meals.
We will be giving thanks to you Chef during our Thanks Giving Meal
Thank you Chef….I’ve NEVER had more fun preparing. ..cooking…eating such a delicious turkey ! I watch you every time I’m hungry or not ….big hug ! And your explanation (why why why) is priceless..thank you !
The people that say you talk too much are the people that watch short videos with no talking ,no intention of making the food but always comment “looks yummy” , video is always filmed from above, always with stupid loud chirpy music, no ingredients list or shows it so quick you have to watch five times. They’re not real chefs just people who can add cheese on noodles 😊
I just realized I handled my butternut squash which made me buy the canned stuff. Now I feel like making it again following use your technique. Thanks chef you’re great!
Chef...Great show today. As always you were entertaining and your tips and tricks are very useful. Didn't think I had the time even though my wife and I are fully retired to sit for several hours we did and fully enjoyed every minute of it.
We look forward until the next time you do a video like this one.
Would love to see the lemonchello cheese cake recipe.
Thanks again
Wes
I could and have watched your videos all day long and never get bored. I love how you explain things so well. Please make your videos as long as you want. I'll be watching for sure 😊💜💜 and yes, I watched the whole thing.
I loved this segment! Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving. I’ve made homemade sausage stuffing for 50 years. I’ve never had anyone barf on me yet.
Easily chef's best video. Represents why he is so excellent because his why explanation is WHY we remember what we learn from his videos.
Here in the UK we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I will always celebrate great food and you are the only chef I follow regularly on UA-cam. Don't worry about talking too much, we learn better when we know the reasons why things are done a certain way, and we love your passion and humour.
I might not make many of your recipes exactly as shown, but I take elements of them to make up my own all the time. It will take a while to get through this long video, but I will do it, even if it takes several separate viewings :)
Thank you 🙏
YES! More I hear Jean-Pierre talk, the better my day is going! Not trying to be facetious or anything, it's just the way it is!
I sat through the whole video and enjoyed it very much! Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday also- I spend at least three days making everything from scratch so I can be relaxed the whole time. Your turkey really inspired me- I learned a lot- I’m 69 and still love making homemade food. Thank you!
That immersion blender could be a boat motor. Love this video
Yes, I watched and enjoyed the whole thing. Especially the massage!
👏👍❤️
Hi Chef! Yes, I watched the whole thing, some parts twice! Thank you! You are my favorite UA-cam celebrity.
Thank you. I’m so blessed to have you Chef , Jack and the crew You are very appreciated. I love your cooking, stories , humor and wisdom. Thank you. ❤. Keep Talking About Everything ❤
Thanks Chef! I think this was your best video yet. I really liked the format. With making the gravy ahead, making the cheesecake and sauce ahead, prepping the beans ahead, prepping the bacon wrapped turkey ahead, mixing the dressing ahead, the Thanksgiving dinner is going to be amazing this year. Thanks again.
After holiday feedback. Made the gravy, the dressing, the bacon wrapped turkey breast, the mashed potatoes, the butternut squash soup, the cranberry sauce, the green beans. Added the Brussels sprouts. Skipped the cheesecake - a guest was bringing dessert. Dinner was wonderful!
Company potluck is coming up - I am bringing the bacon wrapped turkey. I am going to roast it on a rack so the bacon on the bottom gets a little more browned.
Thanks again for your wonderful lessons and recipes.
If there is something funnier than watching Chef Jean Pierre watch and react to his own shenanigans, I don't know what it is!! I know I speak for many of us when I say that we look forward to the holiday season for all your holiday recipes, but also for the special videos you always make around this time of year. Keep up the great work - the entire team is loved and appreciated!!
It's been amazing to not just learning better ways to cook amazing dishes, but to see how your channel has progressed over the last 3 years! Keep it up Chef JP. Oh, I almost forgot, of course I watched the whole video! How could I not!
Hello Chef JP!! You are the best! I will watch this video after work today.
I'd love to hear about the kind of feasts your family had in France growing up.
You are God's gift to home cooking.
What a treat! Thank you Chef. I can watch this for days as a countdown to Thanksgiving. My assignment for this year's family gathering is caviar pie and corn pudding. Would love to know your take on those dishes one day.
Bonjour Chef. Just so you know, this video was fun to watch with you adding comments. Now, for those that say or think that the videos are too long, well, those are never too long, it is so special to spend time with you and LEARN something. Been a sub. for a long time and I have learn so so much, I made so many of the recipes and still do and it is always a pleasure. I know how to cook because I watched you and YOU took the TIME for me and many others to learn properly. Much love and appreciation to YOU, Chef. - Rosalind - ❤ .... and yes I did watched till the end and enjoyed every minute of it ! Bravo, Chef and Jack for the wonderful work. Happy Thanks Giving to both of you and your family. ❤❤❤
LOVE YOU CHEF!! YOU HAVE MADE OUR FAMILY SOOOO HAPPY!!! NEVER STOP!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
I love your videos. Don't listen to anyone that complains about your videos. I have learned a lot from you. I'm enjoying learning from you
Absolutely the best Chef...and a great human being, full or positive energy and life!!
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Thank you Chef. This is my number 1 favorite cooking show. I love your recipes and you always make me smile and laugh too. I HAVE to make that cheese cake!!! You make recipes easy to understand and have helped me add some extra jeuje to my cooking. I love growing a garden and turning that wonderful food into a delightful experience. I watch your channel even for entertainment and learn as a bonus. Happy thanksgiving Jean-Pierre.
I watched the whole thing...even though I've seen them all before. So entertaining! I'm going to do the turkey this way, and try the stuffing this year, and definitely the cranberry sauce so I can sample the Gran Marnier while I cook it. Everyone loved that cranberry sauce last year. Don't forget the mashed potatoes! Thank you, dear Chef! You're THE BEST!
