Made this and it was definitely the best I've had. The only things I can't stress enough are the importance of cooking the roux long enough with just enough heat to make it barley bubble.. Not even going to try to imitate chefs interpretation of the correct bubbling.....LOL... And also letting the cheese melt long enough unless you have an immersion blender. Years ago I attempted a similar recipe and it came out gritty. After watching this video I understood why. Thanks again chef your recipes are authentic, amazing, and truly attainable with modest cooking skills.
P.s. chef, correct me if I'm wrong but the way to tell if your roux is almost ready, as you stir it, it will start to leave a white film on the bottom of the pan...
That is correct about the roux and also it should slightly turn into a "pale sandy fawn" color not enough to interfere with the "white" look we are looking for and final product! 😍
@@ChefJeanPierre sorry I almost forgot the part about heating the milk. Adding cold milk to the roux would also cause the sauce to be grainy.
@@ChefJeanPierre a bit past a blonde roux? Great flavors in this recipe..... thanks for the detailed video..... nothing like seeing it done. Take care... doug
“Barely” bubble, not, “Barley” bubble 😎
Q
Jean Pierre and Jacques Pépin
. the two JPs France has blessed this world with
Yeap, however I prefer this one. He is down to earth. Zaida
he said his mama was italian, so he's half french,half italian. what a great combination
I agree. I admire Gordon Ramsey but wealth is a poor substitute for decades of experience that Chef Brehier
brings!
@@zaidacrechel4459 -I think it’s a matter of style though.
@@fredgarv79 he could be half German and half Irish and he would still be a great chef because of who he is but I understand what you mean because we see those two cultures as producing great cooks and bakers. I mean look at everything named after them, french bread, french toast, french onion soup, french fries, italian seasoning, italian meatball LOL. I have had the pleasure of trying food from all over the Mediterranean while in the navy many decades ago and there are great cooks all over the region. We are just fortunate to have him for his 5 C's ( character, charm, charisma, compassion and class)
When he says friends, I genuinely believe we are friends
I know! So much realness in his eyes..
Me Too! I'd love to hang out with him. Such a nice man. 💖🇨🇦
But you gotta say “fwends” :-)
I completely agree! I find myself commenting on his videos when I make a dish and it feels like I'm telling him because I'm proud
@@hendleon That's it! That's the feeling I had when i commented after a very successful meatloaf, and you want to share with your favourite teacher
He is like a perfect mix between a profesional chef and a grandma. The technic and theory mixed with the love for what he does.
😀😂❤❤❤❤
Diss right dare...
He IS A PROFESSIONAL CHEF. He just isn't working in restaurants any longer. The situation we are in changed his life for the better. He had restaurants, then a cooking school. When everything thing was CLOSED UP DUE TO MANDATES, he got smart and went to youtube and made a new online profession for himself! Great Chef!
Good analogy!
His Italian mom shows through him.
I made this for my son and his 18 year old friends, thinking it would be too complex for their palette. Well now I’ve made it like 4 times for them and they said it’s the most AMAZING, macaroni and cheese they have ever had. Thanks Chef for the years of experience and passion you are sharing with us.
I’ve got to make this!
@@cyndifoore7743 it’s incredible
Kids don't know what they're eating, maybe, but they know what tastes good.
With the truffle oil? In that case your son and his friends have good palates, they will appreciate fine tastes.
mac and cheese complex xD PALETTE !? hahahaha do you live in the sewers or something `?
This madman is a treasure! I've learned quite a few simple techniques that I've never seen anywhere else and I just randomly found him last week.
He’s crazy fun.
Jean Pierre, you have no idea how many of us depend on your expertise for everything. Thank you, friend!
I laugh every time he says “measure carefully”
I laugh everytime he says oh yeah baby 🤣🤣🤣👍👨🍳
it's funny cuz, he then follow up with don't measure it.
That's what 54 years of experience gifts to you - knowledge supreme.
"Mix well".
I love this recipe....and watching You Chef Jean-Pierre.....Thank you~
"there is a lot of crap out there" Chef Jean Pierre. That one just made my day!
I don't cook the recipes 50% of the time, instead I just listen, watch and relax. Thank you for the content, Chef J-P!
“If you don’t like it don’t put it in!” 🤣🤣👍💕
I LOVE how in every video he emphasizes that cooking is a fun creative process! There's no reason to spend time cooking if you're not enjoying your time and cooking for yourself and your own tastes! That's why chef provides all of these ideas like including the mushroom, the goat cheese, the lobster, the truffle oil, the brie, but if you don't wanna do it, don't! So many chefs online act as though there's only one method to cook delicious food, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Much love from New York!
Thank you Wes! 😍
Ohh the Truffle Oil! Drool at the thought of it! I use a little Truffle Oil & Champaign in my Omelettes - it's wicked!! 😈
@@maximan4363 ... Truffle oil and Champaign in the omelet? Ohhh it must be a diabolical mixture! Need abit of salt, small cubed smoked ham or thick cut bacon. Maybe spring onions, Cheddar & Gruyère cheeses. No need to make it too complex. Let those simple ingredients shine through, right??
@@sfopaladin2661 Oh hell NO!!! Nothing wrong with simple cooking - I love cooking Chinese Food with left overs! Just have fun cooking - and love what you do! I love a ham, mushroom & cheese omelette - honestly it's divine! Saute the mushrooms in just a drizzle of Truffle Oil, it's a strong taste, so don't over do it. Add a little Champaign to the eggs and milk, the CO2 will help to add bubble to the eggs and make it feel lighter, plus the taste is awesome!! I've been playing around with cheeses from all over the world & currently I love Ossau-Iraty!! Although Comte is fantastic with Mushrooms!! I also prefer shallots or fresh chives, if I'm going to use a Allium in an omelette but I do love the taste of Spring Onions, especially in Chinese dishes!!! OMG the Chinese can cook!!!!
A "diabolical mixture!" OMG I burst out laughing at that!!! God bless you!! I must add that I love a smoked ham & good thick bacon!!! That we can agree on! 🤣
He is fun to watch! I love his energy, humor and intensity! I wish I had more people in my life like him.
You can use this dish as bait to capture such folks!
Me too, he’s delightful we all need a laugh, not to mention a really good meal.
This is without a doubt the best cooking youtube channel I have come across, easily TV quality, should be on TV if not already.
As a bachelor who has friends over for movie-nights, this Mac-n-cheese is the center piece to to all the cheesy films we watch. Love it.
Mama Mia........you are the best. You teach us like we can all cook like u....truly selfless & genuine chef.
How refreshing to see a chef with a passion for cooking, not cursing. Really enjoyed your video and look forward to trying this soon!
I’m a home cook for 20 years, I learned no need to measure😉 and I’m learning even more watching Chef Pierre😍😘
Chef, you crack me up! I love when you pull the giant whisk out and say “size matters” and then you grab a giant ladle! LOL!
When he says 'I love this stuff' it's like his life depends on it. Love it!
„Little bit of Butter“ throws in half a cow🤣👌🏼
Right lol 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
“Measure Carefully” 😭😭
It's cooking, not veterinary medicine
i love when he says "add a little bit of" , then he pours in a whole lot of. love him
Love the selection of cheeses and I like your estimate of a "little butter".
Who else keeps chef JP in their minds when cooking? I keep telling myself 'Don't touch it', cook at slow temp...'bloop, bloop, etc...😂
Me putting the meat on the hot pan repeating chef "DON'T TOUCH IT" ...yes!
Also..."BUDDER IS BUDDER"
And..."Onyon always first!"
Love it!
Everytime I cut onions, I say onyo.
@thomaskotch4770 😂yes! Me too!
1 minute into the video, and I am already convinced that this will be the best macaroni and cheese.
What is great about this mac 'n cheese, you don't have to use a chain saw the next day to portion it out !
Chef JP is a man who loves his work and works with love.
I just discovered your videos today and i've been watching for hours non-stop. I don't know where to start but i will be making a lot of this recipes. You are an amazing person chef jean-pierre! Humble, passionate, funny and you know how to make cooking simple to understand for the inexperienced. Thank you so much! Blessings❤
Thank you for the kind words! 😀❤
He's quite addictive, isn't he!! 🤣
How does this guy not have a TV show on the Food Network? Definitely more entertaining than most that is on there!!
Thank you! 😊
Food network doesn’t have cooking shows anymore
He had a number of cooking shows in the 90s and published some cookbooks before opening his cooking school.
It’s better in almost every way that he’s on UA-cam, he can do his show exactly how he wants with no executives bothering
@@Cweets that’s why Alton Brown left the food network last year
In these difficult times it is always nice to have a channel that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Oh, and it goes without saying that i really need to make this Mac & Cheese soon! It looks simply delicious 😋
I agree, I’ve never made this dish. So guess what I’m making today ? 😊 Yummy ✅
@@wendyhannan2454 it is one of my favorites now 😋 Enjoy!
I have been watching cooking shows for years. Just to relax. But yours is the first where i really learned something as well. Huge Fan.
I see a notification from chef JP's channel, automatically my day gets better.
😀❤❤❤❤❤
I made this for Thanksgiving today. I didn't have gruyere cheese, so I substituted pecorino romano for half of the gruyere and used a little extra cheddar for the other half. I am afraid this side dish upstaged the main dish. It was mac and cheese, not turkey, everyone was reaching for when it was time for seconds. Chef Jean-Pierre I wish you a happy, healthy, and gratifying Thanksgiving. One of the things i am grateful for this year is your channel. I've been cooking for 40 years, but you have leveled me up. Everyone is noticing the improvement in my food! Thank you Chef! Keep it up! You've now got the best cooking show on UA-cam!
"If you want pasty macaroni and cheese, open a Blue Box for that."
JP is a absolute savage.
Nah, blue box is if you want thin and milky mac and cheese, yellow boxes are if you want pasty mac.
I use only butter with my Blue Boxes. Never pasty, but they are boring.
Oh my goodness. Lmfao I am just realizing what he meant. When he said it, I was like Velveeta is in an orange or yellow box…. Now I get it. 🤦🏻♀️
I love those doors too! I also like how high in the wall the oven is so you don't have to keep bending. That mac n cheese is fantastic looking!
I love this gentleman’s videos! I just spent 2 hours watching his videos for the 1st time. His personality and passion really brings out the fun in these videos. Great sense of humor and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes!! Will def send my future wife to his classes!
I made this today and it was AMAZING!! My mom loves that I've been watching your videos, as she hasn't had to cook in months. Thank you again Chef!! I appreciate all the lessons you share with us. Much love.
This spring I was heartbroken with the implosion of the BA Test Kitchen. I felt like I had lost a home and now was wandering through UA-cam on the prowl for a new home. The other day, UA-cam brought Christmas in September. They introduced me to Chef JP. He is a cast of characters and needs no supporting members. For example in this episode, I swear heard Sgt Sholtz from Hogan's Heros as he was speaking about the lack of flavor from that 20-year-old tin of nutmeg. There is a whole bunch of personality and a little flair and I'm confident with four recipes down that I can successfully make each one. That's a great teacher. Chef JP raises the bar, our skills and entertains all in one! Thanks Boss!
WOW!!!! Thank you Andrew! I am flattered with your kind words!!! 😀❤
Simply the most understand chef of a generation. He inspires all who love good food. Much love Jean-Pierre.
I tried this out with just the same amount of butter and cheese and it’s the best mac and cheese my friends and I had! I ended up making multiple batches of it. You’re a treasure, Chef!
He is the most wholesome chef I've ever seen 😊
U rock chef 😊🤘
Thank you so much! You Rock to NIX!!! 😀❤
Good afternoon Chef. I stumbled upon, and I am glad I did, your "UA-cama" videos (I can say that because I am Italian). Not only do you present wonderful videos and recipes but you "hava" wonderful sense of humor. Your videos and recipes bring me back to my cooking school days in the early 1970s. I am methodically going through your great videos to bring back the basics of cooking. Yesterday I went to the local butcher and bought "soma" veal bones and I got a lot of beef bones from my local grocery store and tomorrow I am going to "teacha" my wife to to :make reala" beef stock for use in my soups and stews. Since I am retired (I was an FBI agent for 25 years) I will continue to watch your videos. Thank you for producing them, and to those who think they are the food police....ala fungo!! Please "keepa" your great sense of humor. DP
Dear Chef Jean-Pierre, we enjoy your videos so much! They are a bright spot during these difficult times, and your enthusiasm is contagious. Please continue these videos they are great. Also, that 10 year old nutmeg in the back of my spice rack just got thrown out the window!
Looking forward to trying this recipe this weekend.
i love his energy. Entertaining to watch, i like his relaxed and fun approach to cooking.
Thank you, Chef! I made this for yesterday's Christmas dinner because the vegetarian host (my GF's mom) always cooks prime rib for her guests. She said it was the best mac and cheese she ever had! Everyone else loved it too - there were no leftovers! This is a great recipe.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏❤️
late to the party here but i love this mans idea of "a little bit of butter". another great vid, chef. thank you.
Chef, I have watched every single one of your videos and I'm finally ready to give a recipe a try. My fiance requested the mac and cheese, so tonight that's what we're having. I know it's going to be amazing. :) My fiance always knows when I've been watching some Chef Jean-Pierre because I start muttering to myself with a French accent in the kitchen!
Sooo, How was it?
@@suzannevega2289 it was amazing! The different cheeses gave it an unbelievable flavor. 10/10
@@rogertheriault2938 Now take a step out and try some of his other recipes! They're hard to screw up.
Haa, ha ! French accent, talking to yourself. Fantastic. You've got the bug.
Chef Jean-Pierre, has swept me away, I love his commentary, he sounds like a bother from another mother. Always entertaining, and every time I follow his recipes a little of him comes out and I start speaking in his rugged french want to be Italian accent. I 💕 his recipes but most of all I love and adore him! 👏❤️
I love this chef who is not afraid to say it like it is ,, he explains every detail very clearly ,, I love he's recipes ♥️♥️,,thank you chef Jean
Chef, you make my heart smile, and my tummy bubble with joy.
Thank you!!
So nice of you! 😊👍❤️
I was so tired of making my family the same dishes. I stumbled across your channel and realized how easy it was to cook. Thank you Chef. This dish my children and husband absolutely loved
This guy is absolutely the best TV/Internet chef ever. I am a food TV and UA-cam junky and Chef JP was a FIND!!!
Thank you!!! 😍😍😍
When Chef Jean-Pierre say "friends", I automatically hit the like button
"we leave the corners for when nobody's watching"
i love this man hahaha
You know the food is going to be good when the chef is salivating preparing it.
So sorry Chef to be late with responses but hand down you are my favorite amongst all the youtube cooking channels. You are funny, make the best food I have seen and explain everything very well!
BTW my CUPBOARDS and pantry are full of new oils/spices/herbs/flours that I have run out of space. No joke.
From The Galloping Gourmet / Julia Child to present I have learned more from Jean and enjoyed his style and flavors!!!!
Thank you!
I just love watching you ,you have such a great way about you, so funny , your personality is awesome!!! You make me laugh and hungry. Lololol. I love to meet someone like you.
Thank you so much!! 😀❤
this is my new favorite cooking channel
Chef Jean , You are now my new favorite chef. love your recipes , and you have such a great time cooking. I plan on trying so many of your dishes. Thank you !
Chef Jean-Pierre, (40+ yrs. so far as a chef) I cannot express more about BUTTER!! WE Love and utilize butter in SO many shapes and forms, So Beautiful!! Where would we be without our lovely butter?? Bon Appetit!!
I love the technique of "carefully measuring" the cheese. ;D
I made this for the first time today. WOW! Absolutely fantastic. Chef Jean-Pierre wasn't kidding when he says this is the best Mac and Cheese you will ever have. It sure is! Thank you Chef. I hope everyone tries this.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏❤️
This is the best Mac n cheese recipe I’ve been searching for !! And chef you are soo talented and funny you are not only a great chef but entertaining too ❤
Thank you 🙏
My best chef of all time I've been following you for years Sir you always make me feels happy and give confidence to cook. From Iraq I follow you
🙏❤️
I’m throwing everything you are teaching this week into a Christmas to remember!! I’m doing this macaroni for thanksgiving!! You are the best on the Tube Chef!!!
Did you make it the day of? Or did you make and freeze?
At 7:45 he hit that white sauce with the black pepper and at 8:02 you can hear the "recipe police" pulling up! 😂
Love your videos Chef!
Never liked macaroni and cheese until I made this, amazing is an understatement
I made a huge mac and cheese with Chef’s recipe. I had a very happy family who ate this every day until it was gone.
Delicious. Thank you Chef JP.
I almost left my online class after seeing this notification, I don’t think I’ve ever left for lunch break so quickly just to see a Mac and cheese video...not disappointed but I really wish that’s what I would be having for lunch right now 😂
😂😂😂❤
Wonderful, wonderful M&C!!! Thank you, the truffle oil was very enjoyable. I added crushed corn flakes w the breadcrumbs, turned out very crunchy and flavorful. I appreciate all you do friend. God Bless you, your family and the crew. ~ My Very Best ~ Joe
Chef Jean-Pierre, excellent 10/10 recipe and directions for Lobster Macaroni and Cheese. I heated the milk with the lobster tails and shells on and it infused the milk with seafood flavour - very good.
The BEST cooking show on the tube. Very well done and chef, you’re the best. I love your passion for top notch cooking and your wonderful sense of humor.
Chef JP: We’re gonna add a little bit of butter...
*adds whole stick of butter to pan*
Ali Beydoun -- Right. I said that out loud when he put the butter in, and I laughed.
best comment. i laughed at that part and again when i read this. xD
Omg chef your videoes make my mouth water and make me soooooo hungry.
Your kitchen also makes me extreamly jealous but i am hooked on your videos i cant stop watching them
👍👍👍😊
I was YELLING at the screen - "Where's the NUTMEG!" and finally you brought it out! Perfect. Freshly grated cheese is best - that stuff in the bag is not nearly as nice. Oooh, lobster is a great idea. We don't do breadcrumbs - just the parm/reg - it gets crispy and lovely while the other cheese stays soft and creamy. Oooh baby. This is beautiful.
"I love those doors" A comment that shows he is in there due to love for food and creation, working with his heart.
Splendid!
Thanks to you I have started to really love cooking! Thank you Jean-Pierre!
Chef, I made this last night for my partner and I. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this recipe and all your others. You're trully and inspiration. I always follow your recipes closely and the results are always perfect. Not good, not excellent. Perfect.
This Guy is the sheer definition of Lawful Good
Wow! Thank you so much!!! 😀❤❤❤
So happy to find you on UA-cam and I am learning while I am enjoying and laughing at your sense of humor. Bravo! and I am trying your recipes! Voila!
I made a large batch of this mac and cheese last night, amazing! I used seven or eight different kinds of cheese, wowza! Thanks Chef Jean Pierre, a great recipe. I've made mac and cheese many times, many different recipes. After watching Chef Jean Pierre I know feel qualified to make this without following the recipe, that's confidence. Thanks again...
Did you freeze it, Charlie?
I made this and it was wonderful. Finally I was able to make a good one thanks for the explanations of why you did what you did. Your explanations make all the difference.
We’re making this Mac & cheese since it’s our son’s favorite dish along with your Turkey recipe & the gravy as well for Thanksgiving. Can’t wait to try ALL your recipes!
First comment from me, but I have to... this guy is wonderful, and I love how happy he is with his life and job. Thanks, JP, for helping me through some hard times in life and teaching me some wonderful recipes along the way!
My pleasure! Thank you for the kind words!!!🙏
How have I only just found this guy
me too but so glad i did
Me too!
Me too
Im also asking myself this question
Exactly what i just said....
Jean Pierre, I love your life my brother. You make me feel much happiness with your passion for food
I appreciate that🙏😀
Chef I made your Mac and Cheese this past weekend and it was the best I ever had. And I made a lot of mac and cheese. Thanks, Perry
I swear when I cook inside of my mind sounds exactly like you!!!! I love love this channel. You’ve brought back my passion in the kitchen. You will never know how much you’ve helped me. I thank you.
I love the sudden accent changes between French, italian and American. 🤣
So true! Just like his ingredients: Varied and tasty.
Love your channel. I seen you on TV years ago but couldn’t remember the name of your program. I love how you keep it simple. Keep up the great work. Big fan.
I wish I could say AMEZING like chef Pierre
"Just a leeeetle beet of butter, just a leetle beet." "Maybe a leetle beet more" That's so much butter. What a madman. Gotta love this channel. It's the best. I'm going to work my way through some of his pan sauces, starting with the mushroom sauce!!
I am currently learning how to cook properly, however, my boyfriend is Italian and his family are chefs so the pressure is on! I will definitely cook him this mac and cheese 😍 looks so tasty! And as always, you are so delightful to watch! Thank you for entertaining me and teaching me at the same time!
I love your wit, honesty, passion & the way you explain in details i like italian's straight forwardness
Oh my this looks amazing thank you Chef you are a great teacher, learning much !
My Lord! You had me laughing at so many points in this video! What a way to make things memorable, and NOT boring!
This is a great recipe. I have looked at other videos but I never copied it. I always wanted to get the chefs homemade Mac and cheese. I copied your recipe and I will make it for thanksgiving. My oldest daughter loves Mac and cheese. Thank you for the recipe chef. It looks marvelous. Also, I’m buying your truffle oil.
You are going to love the Mac and Cheese, just remember to make the sauce fairly liquid as the pasta will thicken it when cooking!.
About our truffle oil. Be sure to keep it in the fridge. It will congeal into a block of fat but if you have real good truffle oil it is fragranced with real truffle and not some fake chemical. All you have to do is to “de-congeal" it what you need by running the bottle under warm water for a minute or two. Use what you need and put is back in the fridge. Be sure NOT to use it for cooking only drizzle it at the end of a dish and do not cook with it, it is too fragile. Good luck! 😀
Love watching you Jean-Pierre, laugh so much when watching you, which is a sign of an excellent teacher, people remember so much when they enjoy it. I have only started watching recently but have learned alot. Thanks for all the vids!!!!!
“Mamma Mia … this is amazing” yes it is … oh yeah…..”make ur own bacon bits .. not the crap at the store” … Chef JP as usual … AMAZING !! Damn I’m hungry.
👍👍👍😊
You are my go to Chef JP … you have made cooking fun again not to mention absolutely delicious. Thank you for these videos.
