Please don’t cut off some steps like the potatoes, asparagus etc.. even if you had done it thousands time’s, I like to watch your videos even if it’s longer than 20mins❤️ your show is so relatable and good because it reflects what we do in kitchen, not the professional editing videos in other channels that skip through every bit of the recipes. Keep it up Jamie great work 👏🏻
Next time, do your steaks before the sauce. You'll have at least 5 to 10 mins because the steaks need to rest. Also pour in hot water to heat the thermos up. Wait 5 mins. Dump water and put your sauce in. Learn from my mistakes lol.
Jamie follows a recipe exactly, a rare thing, maintaining the integrity of the dish as intended by the author. A very talented food artisan in the process of becoming a serious gastronome I get the hunch whatever Jamie applied himself to he would excel in that endeavor. Witnessing his journey is a joy.
I set off the smoke alarm every time I cook bacon and always wonder how other people manage not to, so this was actually a very encouraging episode for me. 😂 Thanks, Jaime!
Ikr? The problem is removing the battery for me is not only pointless but also a violation of my lease. In addition, there are heat sensors over my stove, so literally, every time I use the oven, it goes off. Management keeps saying they'll fix it, but I've been here almost ten years, and nothing has ever been attempted. 😢
The ability to understand and describe flavors comes with experience. You've already gotten a ton better at it over the years as you've worked on developing your cooking skills. In some of your more recent dessert videos you do a great job describing the flavors because you have more experience as a result of the marathon of dessert recipes. Give yourself a little credit for how much you've grown!
I heard this yesterday from the "How to Drink" cocktail channel about learning to give tasting notes. He said that there's an exercise that has you practice with music first. You listen to pieces of classical music multiple times, training yourself to pick out and focus on one particular instrument with each listen. He said that once you can do that, you're able to transpose that skill to tastes. I figure if it works for drinks, it probably would for food too.
I never have given notes on how something tastes. But I have a hunch that maybe you should almost talk with your mouth full, as the flavors are sometimes as fleeting as dreams. I think that scents are the same way. They do stick in one's memory, but for me they are wan and not full fledged until I actually smell them again and can then say exactly what they are. I think of how it smells when it rains. It's there, but when I actually smell it, it's full force in my brain. I can remember the flavors of great meals I've cooked in the same way. They are pastel compared to the vividness of eating them again.
Looks to be a fabulous meal. Here's a tip: don't use glass baking dishes over open flame. They can and do shatter. You can put in microwave instead to melt your butter, or do that in the regular oven, before you add the artichokes. About the discarded leaves, don't roast them, won't be tender, but do steam them in a colander over water and then dip them in melted butter with garlic and lemon.
So I discovered that the artichoke stem, with the skin removed is as tender and delicious as the artichoke heart! This is why if artichokes with long stems are available they are my first choice!
I absolutely love watching his videos. The only downside to watching them every day is that I know find myself saying "now" and "about" in a Canadian accent, I live in the UK. Pity I can't cook like him though 🤣
I’ve actually started to call my family to dinner by yelling “order up”. My two boys are in on in. My husband who works as a chef thinks I’m taking the bleep
Good to see that you were thinking about what to do with all of those artichoke leaves you didn't need for today's recipe. (The one time I've eaten artichoke in the past, I think they were whole and we ate the (cooked) leaves. That was a few decades ago, though, so I may not be remembering all of the details about how they were cooked.)
Jaques Pepin has a few vids on preparing (not so old school) artichoke bottoms, called “turning”. He and Julia Child also have a video on artichokes. Note that you will need a very good vegetable peeler and a sharp pairing knife for this preparation and it does produce quite a bit of waste. It is far easier to steam them (leaf side down in the steamer for 20 - 30 minutes depending on the size) and it produces less waste. Once steamed you can easily separate the bottom from leaves and the leaves from the thistle (spiney inner non-edible part). To avoid discoloration, prior to steaming, rub the cut off areas (stem, top third of the leaves and the spines at the ends of the leaves) with lemon juice from a cut in half lemon. Once separated from the leaves, use a spoon to scoop out the choke (small spinney leaves in the center) from the bottom. Use a pairing knife to trim the bottom, to make it pretty, as needed. The separated leaves can be placed in a small bowl for serving with your fav dip (melted butter, mayo, aioli, etc.). Remember to have a bowl on the table for the spent leaves.
I just came back from short leave at school, and I was teary-eyed because my parents left the UK back to Hong Kong after staying here the first few weeks, so it’s not as easy to reach them now. I was going on UA-cam to drown my miseries out, and the first thing I saw was Jamie uploading another video with Julia. Watching this really cheered me up and lifted my spirits. Thanks, Jamie (and Julia)!
Jamie, if you can find them there is a special type of artichoke with tiny leaves and a huge heart used for this. I am sure you can buy them somewhere, we grow a few plants of them in California. The leaves are tiny, like 1/2 inch long or smaller, and you can if you wish cook them and dip them in something if you want to eat a bunch of tiny artichoke leaves but they're really grown for the heart.
Another excellent vid. Well done. I especially love how you turn what could be ruinous distractions into characters--the sirens, the groaning fridge, the late great Scott the Snail. Even the vacuuming neighbors upstairs are now a fun part of the show. Cultivate that relationship. After all, they seem to provide you with an endless supply of bowls and sieves on demand. How you managed that, I'll never know...
a suggestion on the bernaise, and hollandaise too. If you use pre melted butter, still hot, and slowly drizzle it into the egg yolk while whisking, the sauce will come together without additional heat, the heat from the melted butter will do the magic on the eggs if you do it slowly. Next key, add the tarragon reduction at the end while the sauce is cool, which prevents the acid reaction with the eggs. To keep the sauce loose, keep some melted butter convenient. You can always use a touch of cream or warm water to loosen the sauce, or extra melted butter.
Super late on this, but hang a damp kitchen towel over the smoke alarms if you’re doing steak. Remove once smoke clears. The kitchen towel will keep the smoke from getting to the detector.
ORDER UP!..it's just not an episode without that glory. Feeling that rush to turn off the fire alarm, lol. You read the books, know what you need to do to make tasty food at home, and then you create so much more smoke than you could have ever imagined before. And all you can think, "I hope my neighbors didn't hear that ear piercing beep..." I hope I remember to put the smoke alarm back up on the wall... :) I did love that this recipe bring together the skills and techniques from earlier episodes, like a final exam in a way. Jaimie passed with flying colors and at least 1 or more stars. At least...Kappa. Super smart to take each steak, one at a time. We've seen, we've felt the tension, when Julia's recipe, even with Jaimie trying to adjust as best he can... leads to less than optimal tho still tasty results. Here... it's a Freakin Win. It looked so good. He did so good. Mmm, bacon.. but yeah bacon does become unexpectedly odd when blanched. Alas the flavor was given up in the process so it's still worth it's name. It was super cool to see how dextrous Jaimie was with the artichoke this go round even as his second attempt. It's a steep learning curve but was fast. Seriously tho, it seems so wasteful with how much is tossed, even if what is tossed isn't the most useful or tasty. Ah well, we do end up with the best bits. Watching how easy it is to clean the pans O.o... they look sick. I know someone who is a far better and invested cook so.. maybe. Big City, Big Siren Energy. The one time I went to San Francisco, tagging along for a free trip with my friend with all the free fancy food from a Chinese Wedding Feast.. Heck Yeah..., lol... anyways... Couldn't sleep cause sirens all night and all day...I've stayed in NY for a summer internship as well and, you just learn to accept the noise, but, you know for a YT video production, Jaimie is gonna notice anything and everything, cause he knows the value of good audio. It's almost more important than video. Also, visit NYC, it's so cool. Genuine Bourbon Recommendation: Old Forrester 1920, it's certainly more pricy than the usual suspects but it's worth it. Super flavorful even with the higher proof. It's such a good balance of the expected and unexpected. As for wine...I'm trying but raisins.Still with a nice piece of beef, it just works. What a journey with this recipe. Jaimie says he can't talk but yet actually speaks freely and eloquently. The effort is clear, from the smoke to the stress to the sweat on the brow. This channel is real, and that is all any of us can ask. Jaimie here, is enough.
You're great and your artisanship in your kitchen (with all of the outer noises) contributes to the whole with your exhibitions of Julia's and others and your own recipes and touches.
I've been eyeing a Le Creuset Dutch oven for years...and, because of you, I finally broke down and bought one from Made In. :) Thank you for introducing the brand to your readers. That $200 saving along with the outstanding reviews finally got me to move.
I think the reason your steaks were smoking so much was from the butter. When you were basting, it looked totally burnt! The milk solids in butter burn really easily at the temps you need for steak, which is why you typically add the butter into the pan after you get a good sear on. If you want to start the steaks in butter you need to use ghee or clarified butter.
Bearnaise sauce is good with absolutely anything (well, not cake, but….). I grow tarragon for this purpose. I only make it a couple of times a year because of all the butter, but then I eat it with gusto! 🇦🇺😊
Good call on experimenting with the bacon. Thumbs up. For the artichokes, I would consider boiling them with the leaves on. And afterwards removing the leaves and the barb. You will find it easier to release the bottom of the artichoke. You can order the leaves of the artichoke in a bowl, reheat them 30 seconds in the microwave and you can eat the artichoke leaves by dipping them in a vinaigrette. Just an idea :-)
Thank you Jamie. Love watching you every single time. There is a lot of lip service given to dishes like this and to Julia's books. Despite her TV programs, I've never seen many of these dishes actually get cooked - until you. And it gives me the courage to step up and do things. Love your series and please keep 'em coming.
Not sure about roasting artichoke leaves but I prepare the whole thing by boiling it w some lemon and then dip bottom of leaves in lemon butter, slide along teeth to remove tender part, once done w leaves, get to heart and dip it in lemon butter. Thinking you could’ve just prepared them this way and then used hearts in rest of recipe
Jamie, thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video. I have seen you progress so much, yet the natural humor and quirkiness remains. Never lose it! I grew up watching Julia Child and the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) as a kid, and isn't it amazing I became a chef for 30 some years. I realize the effort of production you put into these videos, they are not made "on the fly" (restaurant term). What you do is well thought out, yet unique and original. Please don't change the format! The Food Network used to be my go-to, but anymore they are all cookie cutter crap shows. Same with Gordon Ramsey. His original BBC Kitchen Nightmares was enjoyable in its rawness. The Fox tv version of any of his many shows are all typical "FOXED" productions. In other words, crap IMHO. I was fortunate to have a radio cooking show in the 1990s (90 to 99) in Maryland, that took about 8 hours on a weekend to produce five- 15 minutes shows to be broadcast the following week. Fun, but required effort. Can you cook on the radio? No, but you can script it!. In any case, I support you and always look forward to more. Please consider Graham Kerr. He is another lost art old school chef. Thanks! Your friend in NC, Robert Adams
I'm days late watching this because I discovered an awesome TV series called "Julia"! That's right, it's our own Julia Child, I absolutely loved it, it was lovely to see how she started making her cooking show. I highly recommend it!
Memorable ep Jamie! As part of your viewing family, I got such joy out of picturing you jumping up and down waving your dish cloth at the smoke alarm! Classic!
I love your frantic controlled energy...it really hits home. I'm nowhere near anything resembling a chef, but I cook with blue apron 3 nights a week and I'm always frantic (but I enjoy the heck out of it).
You are awesomeJamie! My days are always better with your videos lifting my spirits! Longtime fan! Your dynamic is such a joy to watch! Your joliness always puts a smile on my face! Always look forward to more of your amazing content! I’m so proud to be a member of this community! You're Truly awesome!
Jaime, I don’t know if you just got a facial or some other type of beauty treatment but you are looking absolutely RADIANT!! Skin is glowing, facial hair is nicely shorn, and hair is coiffed. STUN!
I too am plagued with an overly sensitive smoke alarm that is way to close to the kitchen. One hack I've learned is to hang or wrap a damp dishcloth or tea towel over/around your smoke alarm before you start cooking anything smokey, it's a game changer.
My tongue was on my floor! I LOVE filet mignon, artichokes, and especially, Béarnaise sauce. I've always been too chicken to try my hand at making Hollandaise or Béarnaise sauces, but your instructions are very inspiring, so I will give it a go. If I were Mrs. Tracey, I'd lock you into the closet until you recreated all of these spectacular delights for me.
little nerdy detail from French me : i guess the recipe is named after king Henri IV because he was originally from Béarn, also the region after which the sauce "béarnaise" is named (and is from ? idk).
Beating is indeed different than whisking. It’s true both are mixing, but look at the tools used. Spoons (flat paddles) and whisks (wire cages) treat the ingredients differently - primarily whisks add air and move the mixture in smaller bits than a spoon). Your steaks look fantastic as does the béarnaise.
You got me to start learning how to cook, I appreciate all of your videos and your adventures teach me before I start a recipe so please keep it up with these awesome videos.
I love your channel. Your mishaps are epic and I love them. You setting off your smoke detector TWICE in one video had me literally laughing out loud to an empty room. On the plus side, you have learned home truths about vanilla beans, which was also hilarious when I watched you throw them away. You’re a darling and I adore your channel immensely
I needed to see your handsome face this morning! I love the older videos with all the mistakes, but it is great to see how you've grown as a cook. Thanks for brightening my day!
Please i love your funny and chaotic energy and i followed for all the silly moments, thank you for helping me distract myself from stressful things. Your content is awesome not to mention ive followed along with the garlic soup vid, it was awesome
I think blanching the bacon was Julia's way of approximating the taste of unsmoked French bacon, such as Ventreche. You could just use pancetta which is much easier to find in our time then it was in hers I'm sure.
Don't feel bad Jamie about the smoke when searing a steak. I'm 70 years old and EVERY TIME I sear a steak in the house it sets off the smoke detectors. I just think they are SO sensitive that any smoke gets to them. Love your show, you are a sweetheart. Keep cooking. You've come a long way and I enjoy watching you progress :)
I can understand why they put smoke alarms near the kitchen but boy, it's a nuisance at times. You but so much work into these, I hope you find it enjoyable for years to come!
Hey mate! Great dish. If you need to thin a béarnaise or hollandaise just prior to serving, pour a little boiling water down the side of the saucepan and whisk it in. Do this in very small increments (no more than a half teaspoon). I was taught this in culinary school and it works wonders.
Very entertaining, as always Jamie.. thank-you!! I love artichokes.. I always steam them (after removing the stabby points from the leaves) dip/eat the base of the leaves as they’re ‘plucked’.. then I use a grapefruit spoon to remove the choke… much easier than Julia’s method, and not as wasteful either!!
You continue to inspire me to keep cooking and keep learning. When I'm not in the mood to cook dinner for myself and my tiny family. I watch one of your videos and then after cooking is so much easier. We've also begun as a family exploring new dishes and foods we've never tried before thanks to you. So again.... Thank you! Continue to be amazing.
That looked fantastic! I think this kind of cooking was meant for either restaurant kitchens or the pre smoke-alarm era in the home. I did wonder if perhaps the blanching helped with the amount of smoke, and you confirmed that. A good reason to do it!
Love the video as always. Re: the smoke alarm, before you start searing the steak, cover the alarm with a shower cap. Leave the stepping stool/step ladder under it so you remember to remove the shower cap once the smoking has subsided. I was searing a steak and had to fan the alarm until it stopped and the steak ended up going from med rare to med well 😵💫 The over cooked steak ended up great in steak quesadillas the next day!
My smoke alarm also likes to go off every time I fry something, especially when I'm making goulasch. By now I'm just taking the smoke alarm down before I start cooking and put it back up once I'm done. The steaks and the bechamel look incredible. Make me hungry.
My grew up with boiled artichokes . Melt some butter and dip (you can add garlic and salt to the butter too). Scrape with your teeth and the heart is the BEST part. Try it, it’s so goooood
May I suggest something that will make things easier? It will take up some space but a box of food service film from a restaurant supply store will make things much easier. Also parchment paper comes in boxes of sheets which is much easier than the rolls from the store. Parchment sheets that aren’t overly soiled can be reused as well. Plus just a square of parchment or even wax paper in the middle of cake pans that are then prepared with recipe instructions helps keep them from sticking to the pan. One last thing an off set small thin bladed spatula is a workhorse in the kitchen. Especially for running around the outside of cakes when they come out of the oven.
I love all of Jamie's videos...the bloopers, fire alarms, disasters and winners, and the "order up" is one of the best part.
I like the “bowl me”
@@brittanybryce7596 I do, too!!!

Please dont edit out your work too much! Love your funny accidents and commentary. Great work Jamie!

I'd agree with this, I don't mind a longer video.
Agree 💯
agree. came here to post the same thing - I wanted to see how Jamie did the potatoes and asparagus.
I boil the entire artichoke and eat the leaves the day before I'm using the heart.
Next time, do your steaks before the sauce. You'll have at least 5 to 10 mins because the steaks need to rest.
Also pour in hot water to heat the thermos up. Wait 5 mins. Dump water and put your sauce in.
Learn from my mistakes lol.
The thermos idea was terrific!
Alternatively, if your butter/egg sauces thicken up, you can thin them by adding a little bit more melted butter.
Oh this is a good idea. I always do the steak second which makes less sense
Great idea,I’ll use it when I make homemade eggs Benedict with homemade English muffins for a special breakfast.
Jamie follows a recipe exactly, a rare thing, maintaining the integrity of the dish as intended by the author. A very talented food artisan in the process of becoming a serious gastronome I get the hunch whatever Jamie applied himself to he would excel in that endeavor. Witnessing his journey is a joy.
Do not roast an artichoke- steam the leaves- Julia is BRUTAL in her treatment of artichokes
Yes, she is. However back when she was taught that was the French method. At least that was what I was taught.
The way Julia butchers artichokes makes me cry 😅
I find a lot of Julia’s recipes to be pretty dated if not completely outdated. There’s so many of her recipes that can be improved upon.

He’s a true role model for people like me, who just take out the battery if it goes off while I’m cooking. 😅
Cooking bacon in the oven helps.
That's why you need to blanch it.
Lower heat, longer cook, and drain the grease in between batches.
Or bake it.

Unless, of course, you have Calexium pots and pans.

I think the reason your steaks were smoking so much was from the butter. When you were basting, it looked totally burnt!
The milk solids in butter burn really easily at the temps you need for steak, which is why you typically add the butter into the pan after you get a good sear on. If you want to start the steaks in butter you need to use ghee or clarified butter.
If you add oil to the butter it doesn’t smoke so much
@@TheRobyynnhomemakers' lie. It still burns.
Bearnaise sauce is good with absolutely anything (well, not cake, but….). I grow tarragon for this purpose. I only make it a couple of times a year because of all the butter, but then I eat it with gusto! 🇦🇺😊
I read somewhere that you could use olive oil instead of butter in béarnaise sauce.
Good call on experimenting with the bacon. Thumbs up. For the artichokes, I would consider boiling them with the leaves on. And afterwards removing the leaves and the barb. You will find it easier to release the bottom of the artichoke. You can order the leaves of the artichoke in a bowl, reheat them 30 seconds in the microwave and you can eat the artichoke leaves by dipping them in a vinaigrette. Just an idea :-)
That's how I'd do it and I'm on old ex chef.
Thank you Jamie. Love watching you every single time. There is a lot of lip service given to dishes like this and to Julia's books. Despite her TV programs, I've never seen many of these dishes actually get cooked - until you. And it gives me the courage to step up and do things. Love your series and please keep 'em coming.
Not sure about roasting artichoke leaves but I prepare the whole thing by boiling it w some lemon and then dip bottom of leaves in lemon butter, slide along teeth to remove tender part, once done w leaves, get to heart and dip it in lemon butter. Thinking you could’ve just prepared them this way and then used hearts in rest of recipe
Man, whenever I'm having a bad day, I just watch some Anti-chef. Successful or not, you're always in for a good time!
"Keep calm and carry on" is, I believe, the phrase you were thinking of.
Thank you for another entertaining cooking demonstration Jamie.
No it was KEEP ON KEEPING ON
Jamie, thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video. I have seen you progress so much, yet the natural humor and quirkiness remains. Never lose it! I grew up watching Julia Child and the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) as a kid, and isn't it amazing I became a chef for 30 some years. I realize the effort of production you put into these videos, they are not made "on the fly" (restaurant term). What you do is well thought out, yet unique and original. Please don't change the format! The Food Network used to be my go-to, but anymore they are all cookie cutter crap shows. Same with Gordon Ramsey. His original BBC Kitchen Nightmares was enjoyable in its rawness. The Fox tv version of any of his many shows are all typical "FOXED" productions. In other words, crap IMHO. I was fortunate to have a radio cooking show in the 1990s (90 to 99) in Maryland, that took about 8 hours on a weekend to produce five- 15 minutes shows to be broadcast the following week. Fun, but required effort. Can you cook on the radio? No, but you can script it!. In any case, I support you and always look forward to more. Please consider Graham Kerr. He is another lost art old school chef. Thanks! Your friend in NC, Robert Adams
Loved Graham as a kid. Enjoyed his later show but the original was so fun. Would he set something on fire or be a bit sauced by the end?
Also feel the same about food network and what was dyi. They were great at first but now just over the top competition or something extreme themed.
I'm days late watching this because I discovered an awesome TV series called "Julia"! That's right, it's our own Julia Child, I absolutely loved it, it was lovely to see how she started making her cooking show. I highly recommend it!
Fire Alarm cue intense flapping of the kitchen towel - a universal language 😂😂
I have wished for a taste of most of the dishes he’s made on this show, but this one most of all. Wow.
Memorable ep Jamie! As part of your viewing family, I got such joy out of picturing you jumping up and down waving your dish cloth at the smoke alarm! Classic!
I love your frantic controlled energy...it really hits home. I'm nowhere near anything resembling a chef, but I cook with blue apron 3 nights a week and I'm always frantic (but I enjoy the heck out of it).
You are awesomeJamie! My days are always better with your videos lifting my spirits! Longtime fan! Your dynamic is such a joy to watch! Your joliness always puts a smile on my face! Always look forward to more of your amazing content! I’m so proud to be a member of this community! You're Truly awesome!
Jaime, I don’t know if you just got a facial or some other type of beauty treatment but you are looking absolutely RADIANT!!
Skin is glowing, facial hair is nicely shorn, and hair is coiffed. STUN!
I too am plagued with an overly sensitive smoke alarm that is way to close to the kitchen. One hack I've learned is to hang or wrap a damp dishcloth or tea towel over/around your smoke alarm before you start cooking anything smokey, it's a game changer.
JC's Tournedos Rossini is truly her steak masterpiece. I've made it twice and it is utterly glorious!
This dish is probably my most memorable meal speaking purely based on the food. Can recommend 10/10
Thanks for this jamie! Been feeling under the weather with flu lately and this is just what i needed!😊😊😊😊😊
My tongue was on my floor! I LOVE filet mignon, artichokes, and especially, Béarnaise sauce. I've always been too chicken to try my hand at making Hollandaise or Béarnaise sauces, but your instructions are very inspiring, so I will give it a go. If I were Mrs. Tracey, I'd lock you into the closet until you recreated all of these spectacular delights for me.
In NYC, you should be able to find fresh, sliced belly, which is neither salted nor smoked. Beautiful meal, again!!
Every time I watch one of these videos the transitions get smoother and smoother. Like a chunky sauce being run through a sieve
That looked extremly yummi 🙂I had my steak today with garlic mash, honeyglaced parsnips and carrots. And creamed mushrooms with garlic and parsley.
little nerdy detail from French me : i guess the recipe is named after king Henri IV because he was originally from Béarn, also the region after which the sauce "béarnaise" is named (and is from ? idk).
Beating is indeed different than whisking. It’s true both are mixing, but look at the tools used. Spoons (flat paddles) and whisks (wire cages) treat the ingredients differently - primarily whisks add air and move the mixture in smaller bits than a spoon).
Your steaks look fantastic as does the béarnaise.
Remember to hit the thumbs up button on Jamie's video!
You got me to start learning how to cook, I appreciate all of your videos and your adventures teach me before I start a recipe so please keep it up with these awesome videos.
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
Personally, I like to leave in the butter packaging. It gives the bearnaise sauce a nice chewy texture.
I have to say your steaks look gorgeous, they seared so beautifully even if the smoke alarm disagreed!
I love your channel. Your mishaps are epic and I love them.
You setting off your smoke detector TWICE in one video had me literally laughing out loud to an empty room.
On the plus side, you have learned home truths about vanilla beans, which was also hilarious when I watched you throw them away.
You’re a darling and I adore your channel immensely
I needed to see your handsome face this morning! I love the older videos with all the mistakes, but it is great to see how you've grown as a cook. Thanks for brightening my day!
18:48 never doubted that you would exclaim it with passion as always man! Thats what makes you amazing! Order up! 🙆🙆🙆
Please i love your funny and chaotic energy and i followed for all the silly moments, thank you for helping me distract myself from stressful things. Your content is awesome not to mention ive followed along with the garlic soup vid, it was awesome
I think blanching the bacon was Julia's way of approximating the taste of unsmoked French bacon, such as Ventreche. You could just use pancetta which is much easier to find in our time then it was in hers I'm sure.
I think that you can find uncurled bacon at Costco.
Don't feel bad Jamie about the smoke when searing a steak. I'm 70 years old and EVERY TIME I sear a steak in the house it sets off the smoke detectors. I just think they are SO sensitive that any smoke gets to them. Love your show, you are a sweetheart. Keep cooking. You've come a long way and I enjoy watching you progress :)
I can understand why they put smoke alarms near the kitchen but boy, it's a nuisance at times. You but so much work into these, I hope you find it enjoyable for years to come!
I love how you experiment just to see the differences in cooking. Thats awesome.
I have this dish many times. Prepare for a LONG nap after eating.
That meal looks AMAZING!!! OPA!!!! Well done, sir!
Absolute stunner!!!! You totally made my whole day. ❤❤ Love, love, love watching you cook…
Hey mate! Great dish. If you need to thin a béarnaise or hollandaise just prior to serving, pour a little boiling water down the side of the saucepan and whisk it in.
Do this in very small increments (no more than a half teaspoon). I was taught this in culinary school and it works wonders.
I use an electric burner outside to sauté steak, and cover the pan after searing one side, so the inside cooks a little more evenly. Works perfectly.
Omg the entire thing with that lovely red wine. Must make.
Jamie was so cute when he shouted Order Up. That was really great!
Watching you grow as a chef is really awesome. actually proud of you!
Very entertaining, as always Jamie.. thank-you!! I love artichokes.. I always steam them (after removing the stabby points from the leaves) dip/eat the base of the leaves as they’re ‘plucked’.. then I use a grapefruit spoon to remove the choke… much easier than Julia’s method, and not as wasteful either!!
You continue to inspire me to keep cooking and keep learning. When I'm not in the mood to cook dinner for myself and my tiny family. I watch one of your videos and then after cooking is so much easier. We've also begun as a family exploring new dishes and foods we've never tried before thanks to you. So again.... Thank you! Continue to be amazing.
The coffee cup idea is genius!
That looked fantastic! I think this kind of cooking was meant for either restaurant kitchens or the pre smoke-alarm era in the home. I did wonder if perhaps the blanching helped with the amount of smoke, and you confirmed that. A good reason to do it!
Love the video as always. Re: the smoke alarm, before you start searing the steak, cover the alarm with a shower cap. Leave the stepping stool/step ladder under it so you remember to remove the shower cap once the smoking has subsided. I was searing a steak and had to fan the alarm until it stopped and the steak ended up going from med rare to med well 😵💫 The over cooked steak ended up great in steak quesadillas the next day!
Never worked with artichokes, but I've read you can just cut the bottom out instead of peeling off all the leaves.
Oh Jaime you never fail to delight. Thank you.
Jamie, are you going to continue doing the countries food serie? I kind of miss it 😊
But i love all your videos
Made In!!! U r soooooo fortunate. 😎🙏👩🍳
I love steak like that in between rare and med rare it looked perfectly delicious!! 🎉🎉
I’m currently binging all of your videos
My smoke alarm also likes to go off every time I fry something, especially when I'm making goulasch. By now I'm just taking the smoke alarm down before I start cooking and put it back up once I'm done.
The steaks and the bechamel look incredible. Make me hungry.
This one had me drooling! I love filet mignon, asparagus, never had bernaise sauce but I sure love butter.
Buy a small room fan and put it on a chair and aim it at the smoke alarm. Works like a charm.
This is the first episode that I've watched. I think you had a hard time but the end result looked fabulous.🎉
My grew up with boiled artichokes . Melt some butter and dip (you can add garlic and salt to the butter too). Scrape with your teeth and the heart is the BEST part. Try it, it’s so goooood
That looked amazing! 😊
Honestly, Jamie. You are the best of the best.
May I suggest something that will make things easier? It will take up some space but a box of food service film from a restaurant supply store will make things much easier. Also parchment paper comes in boxes of sheets which is much easier than the rolls from the store. Parchment sheets that aren’t overly soiled can be reused as well. Plus just a square of parchment or even wax paper in the middle of cake pans that are then prepared with recipe instructions helps keep them from sticking to the pan. One last thing an off set small thin bladed spatula is a workhorse in the kitchen. Especially for running around the outside of cakes when they come out of the oven.
