So cool. It's like Julia trained you and now you're off on a new culinary adventure! I think she'd be proud!
Aww.. what a great send-off!
100l liabilitu
100k liabiliy
I only want the oyster knife if you write "shuck you" on it
"Aw, shuck it!"
Welp, jus shuck it😅
Aww shucks. 🦪
I want you to have the knife SO much I left a comment for Jamie about you! 😂🗡🐚
I would love to have an “awe shuck it” knife from Jamie!
Yes. YES!!! I've felt intimidated by celebrity chefs forever. Do it for us humans, Jamie!
Jamie's little smile when he takes a bite of something he's proud of always makes my day.
Hey Jamie! My niece started working for Thomas 22 years ago as a coffee barista and is now editor and chief of their magazine. I can tell you now that Thomas would be very proud of you 👏 he is a lovely person! I love that you’re branching off and trying new things! That is how you grow. You are becoming quite the chef. Be proud of your achievements! I love your Jamie and Julia series! 😊
I’ve met him once,, he was delightful!
His food is…. Magical. I’ve never even contemplated cooking any of his recipes. It would kill the magic for me..
So glad Jamie is doing it for me..
JAMIE I don’t know that you qualify as a “wannabe” chef anymore. Freakin phenomenal job!!
yes he's grown so much and made so many beautiful things! he's definitely a qualified home chef now
Remember when he tossed away vanilla seeds? Now I learn from him.
@sunnylemon909 I agree
Here’s your challenge Jaime. Is six episodes enough for you to get to know the chef? I mean, you spent so long with Julia that you were able to read between the lines of her recipes, but six per chef is a real challenge. Good luck.
Really depends on the books. It's often a similar theme per book, so you won't get a lot of different recipes out of them. Julia had a giant part of modern cooking to choose from.
Hey Claire, I don't know why but what you said sounds like the original Mission Impossible series of the 60's.... "Your mission, if you choose to accept it." and "This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck.
Jamie calling us company is the most wholesome thing. It’s like a hug I didn’t know I need.
That bowl looks like its credit score is higher than mine. Beautifully done!
My favorite part is when he says “gotta stay organized!” With so much confidence and by the time he is playing the counter is a mess and he keeps losin the strainers and the milks and Charlie Lmaoo I love it! So funny
That is exactly how I cook. It is messy organisation hehe. I mean making big fancy dishes and the kitchen stays clean? That is total fantasy.
It’s like you went straight to the Chef Olympics with this one.
I picked up The French Laundry cookbook after watching Thomas Keller’s MasterClass series back in 2020. It is a very advance cookbook (compared to what I am used to), that scares the heck out of me. I am very impressed with you tackling this recipe and succeeding. From what I remember,Thomas Keller was able to keep all of his employees at The French Laundry on the payroll through the lockdown which is amazing. Unrelated…if you haven’t watched The Bear, I highly recommend it!
You do remember the famous dinner at the French Laundry during lockdown that Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife attended with a bunch of wealthy medical industry Democrat donors? The bar bill was $15k of which $12k was the wine tab, no masks or distancing, and they weren't seated outdoors when that was the only thing allowed. 22 people attended. All reported in the local California newspapers with pictures! Of course, TK was able to keep his staff employed. They were working to create and serve dinners for the elite San Francisco boogie set who never masked or distanced in the first place. Covid protocols were only for us normies. People make dinner reservations at that restaurant 2 years ahead of time, Covid or not!
Agreed, but all the recipes i’ve made from that book (as well as his other cookbooks) turned out fabulous. If you still think it’s too intimidating, try his Bouchon cookbook, it’s got more home-style and achievable recipes which are slightly more complicated than ‘Ad-hoc at home’, but amazing nonetheless.
@@strawberrysmoofie Thank you! I will check it out.
I love this! Although I’m not a caviar fan, I did learn from a chef friend that using metal spoons on caviar can effect the flavor of it making it metallic tasting, I think that is why it came with the fancy spoon haha.
Caviar is made up of delicate, fragile eggs that need to be handled with care. Metal spoons can crush the eggs, break their delicate membranes, and release oils that can affect the taste of the caviar. This can cause the caviar to become watery and lose its texture.
So three series on the go?🤨 Good for you.
You present some of the most unique cookery content on social media
1. Jamie & Julia
2. Foods around the world A-Z
3. Recreating Michelin meals
👍🏾👍🏾
Totally agree! Jamie is so much fun to watch, and gives me so many ideas. Watching him cook gives me much hope. I'm a decent cook, but I want to expand my range. And his recipe selection, sense of humor, mistakes, and everything are priceless. ❤😂👍
oh that's just hilarious.
In a unique style. It isnt someone who knows exactly what they are doing or pretends to know what they are doing, it is like I dont know what they hell I ma doing. See me suffer to make something I have nevercooked, eaten or probs even seen before and lets see where we end up. very different vibe.
Kudos for tackling even more complicated cooking than JC! Best of luck to you!
Jamie, the reason why they sent you a mother of pearl spoon with the caviar is that one is not to use metal on caviar. It adversely affects the taste, the flavor. You’re doing a great job.
I highly doubt that
Looked it up. My assumption is correct. Caviar is made up of delicate, fragile eggs that need to be handled with care. Metal spoons can crush the eggs, break their delicate membranes, and release oils that can affect the taste of the caviar. This can cause the caviar to become watery and lose its texture. I would say, just be gentle.
Months ago, I said exactly what you’re stating! That is, one is to use a, “Mother of Pearl”spoon when serving caviar.
A metal spoon of any kind, including sterling silver will potentially damage the caviar and/or adversely affect the taste.
For the amount of money, one pays for caviar, it’s worth a few extra pennies to get a Mother of Pearl spoon. Frequently it’s included in the price of the caviar.
Very impressive, again, Jaime! Metal changes the flavor of caviar, thus the porcelain spoon. Looking forward to the series.
mother of pearl spoon (made from mollusc shell) rather than porcelain -- but for exactly the reason you give.
@otsoko, thank you. 👍
But he made the quenelle with his everyday metal spoons. Do high end restaurants have nonmetal spoons to shape caviar?
Good old plastic spoons!
@Diane Bekel, good question, I’ve wondered the same thing.
I suggest Rick Bayless' Oaxacan Black Mole. Nearly 40 ingredients but can split preparation over a few days. You can find the recipe online AND there's a 45 minute UA-cam tutorial by Chef Bayless.
I had this at his Michelin-Starred Topolobampo in Chicago and it made me cry it was so good.
I somehow knew the second you said "one of my favorite books" at the beginning that you'd bring out one of Bourdain's. His books are so satisfying to read, I love his descriptions.
I hope you have more things go viral and get a lot more subs, you make one of my favourite cooking shows and help me learn right along with you.
Right? I was just wondering to myself how on earth is there less than 500,000 subs on this brilliantly entertaining channel?
Yeah, I agree! Incredibly entertaining, and have gone back and watched earlier episodes… the progress is amazing! By the way…when I make a recipe for the first time I have to read and re-read while I’m making it also.
One way to get the roadmap of a recipe straight in your head is to read through and write down each sentence by hand, but rephrase it in your own way. That really helps me when I'm trying to get through a dense/obscure/fussy recipe.
Introduced your vids to my parents the other day and they love your content! Given that they’re completely technophobic and in their 70s, this is a huge compliment
A Cook's Tour is one of my favorites!
I love how you cook things that are complex in nature, that require a high skill level and allow us to see everything. I'm still looking for a kitchen with your bowl delivery system. When I clap and say "bowl me" I get nothin'. lol
I try it and my kid rolls a ball at me. Not sure how to use that for cooking but maybe he'll learn to roll ingredients instead one day.
Having a bowl delivery system would be great, but even greater would be a kitchen like Jamie's where the cutting board/work surface instantly cleans itself--and all the bowls, pots, and utensils--between steps.
If you ever tackle the Alinea Cookbook we will know you have truly mastered your art. Also, it will be chaos and I am there for it.
This is a interesting recipe because it's easy to see how it would scale up to restuarant service in a way that is easy to serve fast on order.
Bourdain was my hero ❤ please do a series on him!!!!
Same here. It will happen :)
Anthony Bourdain *sigh.* I love that book & have a worn out copy. i listened to the audiobook of kitchen confidential that he narrated. My favorite quote “your body is not a temple. It’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” I love all of his shows & miss him.
Sounds like a great series ahead. Looking forward to it enormously. Been subscribed for a while & love what you do. I even bought Julia’s Art of French cooking after watching your series. Must be honest I’ve not cooked anything yet but… plenty of time! Xx
Love this idea for the new series! J. Kenji Lopez Alt's books would be great for it!
Ever since I saw Cat Cora say she wanted this dish to be her last meal, I've been obsessed with it (but have yet to try it). It's both simpler and more complex than it seems.
This was such a Jamie episode! This style is what got me interested in watching you. I love watching you reread 1 million times and argue with your refrigerator (and of course saying BOWL ME!)
Holy CRAP this is delicious. Made it for my family Xmas. A good 3-4x better than I anticipated. Thanks for making this, dude!
Yes, finally something other than Julia. That looked really yummy too.
I love this! One day you will write your own cookbook 😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣 For people who can`t cook!
Amazing episode. You picked a true culinary master. For your consideration, I’d love to see you take on Marcella Hazan’s “The Classic Italian Cookbook” and because you’re already an accomplished baker, anything from Dorie Greenspan.
A trick for cutting chives is to wrap them in a damp paper towel and start at the end where they're lined up. It'll go much faster, and the results will be a little more consistent too.
I laugh out loud every time you get lost with the directions. I have exactly the same problem - I can read a recipe "a million times", as you put it, and I cannot remember them. We must have a short circuit in that part of our brains. Love this new series. Well done.
I could totally use an oyster knife, I could totally try to make this dish for my girlfriend! Great video, as always!
This has been so fun watching you grow as a home cook and a confident chef. And now attempt the cookbooks that seem impossible for home chefs to actually cook out of.
I'm so excited! Great idea Jamie!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I approved! I’m already in love with this series. Spread your wings and fly J!!❤
Good luck! I have the French Laundry cookbook and I swear almost every recipe looks like it needs to be started at least 2 or 3 days in advance. Looking forward to this series!
I’m so excited about this. My entire honeymoon was just The French Laundry… no trip… just a meal. It was UNREAL!
I can’t believe I identified Chef Keller from your teaser post. Looking forward to this series!
Those tapioca balls can go in your decorating toolkit for future holiday builds, if you never find a better need. Also, your episode stinger makes me wonder if you're going to somehow try to rig a Fish Egg Blind Taste Test one of these days. If any of your future recipes wind up incorporating roe, I'll know it's gonna happen.
That is the largest and most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen
A new chef! 👏🏻
This is going to be fun! Don’t get that beautiful cookbook dirty! 💞 Mom
I found Jamie's videos home sick with Covid. Mostly it completely inspires me to try, learn when it doesn't work, and try again.
You are my absolute favorite person on UA-cam! I just moved to the Deep South and could use an oyster knife so I can learn to cook oysters. Keep up the great content!! I recommend you to everyone I know.
This is a really great idea for a new series!!!!
On his previous video I got the feeling he was really burning out on Julia. Julia’s great, but after a certain point it is time to move on and it looked to me like he had reached that point…although I think he will revisit her from time to time. I just cannot imagine him dumping Julia for good 😊
Being from Maryland, I'd love an oyster knife! :) Love, love, love raw oysters. Love this series, Jamie! That book is fabulous.......you are a dream, Jamie. Very ambitious recipe indeed. Love that dish! Great job as always. Hugs from the farm.
This is grand! No soft ball toss for you out of shoot.
Sounds like a fun series. 💕
I found you randomly and I have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your cooking journey 😊
Love this idea for a new series! I’m a cookbook-aholic and I’m so excited to catch a glimpse into some new ones. Brilliant job, thanks Jamie
I'm so excited to see more videos in this series! Such an interesting first dish!
Malpaque oysters are world class oysters from Malpaque Bay, Prince Edward Island. 🇨🇦
Love this new series! Can't wait to see all the different chefs!
Awesome job! You are jumping straight into hard mode with this book. Not even easing into things, straight to TK!
I love this series idea! It reminds me of a cooking show I used to watch as a kid that I loved, where they’d test multiple recipes from a cookbook each episode. Excited to see more :)
Thanks for the memory of my first (and sadly, only) taste of really good caviar. It was a Y2K costume party celebration, and the darling little black eggs were perched atop much larger hard boiled chicken eggs. So simple, but spectacularly delicious!
I'm so excited for more videos in this series! Really good job on this one
Yes! Love seeing you cooking your hearth out Jamie! It's always such a delight! Wish you a great meal!
I think the book actually had a typo (clutch my pearls, NO!). I think it should have read "tapioca pearls, pearls, oysters..." because that's what's the tapioca pieces are called, pearls. Dunno 🤷♀️ Anyway...sure! I'd love the extra oyster shucker. Thanks for considering me.
I think it’s meant to read something like “tapioca [makes me thing of] pearls, [and] pearls [make me think of [oysters]. Hence the doubling of the word pearls.
I am so excited for this series!!
So excited for this series 👏🏼 Especially getting to see how many new skills you pick up/tips and tricks from al the wealth of knowledge that’s out there!
Cool series idea, I like it! This dish looked super fancy, Julia would be so proud of you.
Oh... this is going to be wonderful, such a great idea Jamie!
Excited for the new series! Love seeing you make new content that you’re excited for 😊
Yes. If you have a good sense of taste, you will know. The difference is subtle but noticeable. Cheaper caviar has a more pungent "sea taste" than fine caviar does. And beluga caviar tastes differently from other roe. Buy a bit of several varieties to try out. Remember to serve it on good quality unsalted crackers, with chopped boiled eggs, and well-chilled, excellent quality vodka. There are special glasses for that, and make sure the glasses are ice cold..
As soon as I recognized that you were going to need a spatula to scrape everything out of that bowl, I found myself yelling inside my head “Go get Charlie!!!” 😂
(I was happy after the fact that you didn’t whip snowman out of the drawer to complete the task).
I'm so glad you're branching out to other chefs. I've gotten my whole family hooked on your channel. We're all looking forward to the future of your content.
Love the idea of this series! Such a cool way to explore other avenues of cooking. Can't wait for more!
I’m not even a minute into this video but I can already tell that this new series is going to be super fun. Keep up the great work I can’t wait to see what you do!
Jamie, you should attempt Heston Blumenthal, mad scientist meets Michelin Star chef. Would make a great mini series. Love the show.
This was great. Excited for the new format. I think it will be great to watch you experience the various styles of other chefs and cultures for the first time.
Loving your videos! Little tip with oysters... always buy double what you need and after you open them up, dislodge from the shell over your bowl. A lot of the juice was in your towel. This really looks like a fun dish to try. Thanks for the awesome demonstration!
I really love this new series! Can't wait to see more of it.
I love the idea for the show. I dont do much french cooking but if you are branching out into other chef's I am excited.
I attended an oyster shucking class over the holidays last year. It definitely takes a bit of practice and I was a little sore afterwards, but it was fun and the flavor of raw oysters is really something unique: briny, mineraly/metallic, a delicate sweetness. The texture is NOT going to be for everyone, though.
That's my problem. I love the taste of oysters but I just can't deal with the texture of the raw ones.
It's funny. I've had raw oysters four times now maybe? Usually I get one of the "sampler" plates with with a variety of different ones. I need to really start paying attention when the server describes them, and be a little more selective because a few have been life changing and others make me remind myself I'm in a public place where vomiting is not allowerd.
I know next to nothing about fresh shellfish, but I wonder if that bad oyster plus the general lack of juice in the whole batch indicates Jamie was played by his supplier?
I spent the majority of my adult years within 30 miles of New Orleans. Seafood and fish right out of the water are everywhere. I was in my early twenties when I moved there and I thought raw oysters were disgusting. THAT didn’t last long. I love them. Not going to the Big Easy without a stop at my favourite oyster bar. I have found though, that unless you are in another location right at the water, oysters are the most delicate of all if you are eating them raw and one experience with a bad oyster is likely to make a lasting impression lol. I usually pass if I know they are certainly being trucked or flown in from a long distance away.
Super excited for the new series!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is a great idea for a new series, look forward to following along as you explore these other chef's recipes.
This episode is so frantic and frenetic. It was a joy to watch.
Love this new series - I did a lot more with Julia Childs cookbooks after watching your videos (and joined your Patreon as a result). - could totally use an Oyster knife too)
Seeing your adorable smile is the absolute best part of my day.
I'm so excited for this series!! It's great seeing how much you've improved at cooking
top tip for oysters: sometimes they can deform so much when growing that "rounder" and "flat" aren't good ways to tell the lid from the cup. about half of the oysters you shucked on camera were done upside-down. you can tell from where the opening beak points and how easily the tip of the knife gets in there. this is why you spilled so much of the juice (half a cup of juice is absurd from that amount of oysters tho, you still did a great job)
Came here looking for this comment. I was yelling at my screen, “they’re upside down!”😂😂
Loving your channel Jamie! Excited about the new series. So glad I discovered you!
You are my new favorite cooking channel. This was sumptuous to watch. Thanks Jamie!
me: i need an oyster knife
also me: *has never eaten an oyster in my life*
Start with a good oyster stew. YUM. Oysters Rockefeller, too.
I was lucky enough to eat at French Laundry in 2018. It was truly amazing. Except that the portions were so small that I actually stopped at Jack in the Box on the way home just so I could feel full.
Jeez, you've come a long way since those Canadian souffles of the early days!! Excellent work!! I'll never make it myself but I so enjoyed watching you make this very classy dish.
Great idea for a series, sounds like a lot of fun!
You need to do your own cookbook of all of the recipes that you’ve recreated especially the around the world ones. I would definitely be buying it! You did a shucking great job with this one :)
A concept that I thought about before was cooking from recipes in a foreign language. Like you get all ingredients (maybe plus several to throw you off), the recipe in the original language and maybe a picture or a general description. Then you'll have to go from there. Could be easier like Spanish or French and a lot harder like Chinese. Really tests your cooking ability
That doesn't test his cooking skill, that tests his language skills, which is just absurd, he can't read a recipe in a language he doesn't know, 🙄
Making food with unfamiliar flavours and ingredients is hard enough, what would be the point of make him unable to read the recipe as well? Smh...
Fuckin love you Jaime! This new series is awesome already and can't wait to see where you go with it! Best amateur cooking channel on youtube by a long shot 🥰
Looks delicious!!! Fantastic job yet again!!! Excited to see the rest of the series!!
OK, so Jamie, hear me out: Contact Sorted Food, and ask them if they'd like to team up with you, IN PERSON, in the future. They could combine it with a trip to explore the food of your area, like they did for Kentucky. DO IT IT WOULD BE LEGENDARY.
They did this recipe. I saw it not long ago. I agree the Sorted guys would be a great team up!
Might I make a suggestion. Stalk your pantry with staple things, for example, clam juice. I would think you could sub clam juice for the oyster juice. I have so many random things in my pantry, but they ate staples in many dishes, especially fancy one. I always have a tube of tomato paste. At least two cans of tomatoes. Some good cooking wine. Sardines. The list can go on. Since you know you are doing six episodes in a series, I would mis en plas your grocery list( not that I think you don't) get everything you need for the initial recipe plus the next five and maybe a little extra.
I don't think you do it intentionally, but you work way harder than you need to. You don't work efficiently or smart. I just feel for you.
This is all coming from a place of love and from someone who suffers from severe learning disabilities. These are things I have done to make cooking a recipe easier for me. Cooking is supposed to be fun and not stressful, and I hate seeing you look defeated by a recipe.
Cute idea with the knife, You are expanding the knowledge Julia taught you and now you are off and running, I will continue to watch you grow, thank you for your videos.
Love this idea. Looking forward to the series!
What a fabulous recipe! Best of all you are such a joy to follow. To see an untrained chef deal with a professional recipe gives us all hope! Thank you
