    Thank you so much. I’m 67 and have been cooking, for a living, since 1973. During these years I have worked for many chefs, of many nationalities, garnered what I consider some recipes that are astronomically good, but, through time and circumstance, have almost forgotten. Your videos have helped me to “get back on track”, if you will, and recapture SOME of what I’d lost. Also, I’m gleaning knowledge on some aspects of “scratch” necessities that, through the years, I have missed. Thanks again.

    Chef John has made me a hero at more occasions than I can remember. I always give him the credit. Go to party dish: his buffalo chicken dip is outrageous. Go to fast family meal: avgolemono. Kids love it, I’ve got it memorized. It is tied with chicken piccata. Favorite dinner party recipe: pork saltimbocca. So impressive and delicious. Favorite thanksgiving side: sweet potato casserole with pistachio crumble. Favorite dessert: sour cream chocolate cake with orange créme anglaise. Favorite beverage: hot buttered rum. Favorite pasta: The one with garlic, aglio olio? Favorite one pot meal: pollo y arroz.
    Thanks for all the puns and fun and food, Chef. You should go down in history as a man who shaped a generation of home cooks.

      His style of videos make all the recipes seem really attainable as well. I had very limited cooking experience until 6 or 7 years ago, but his videos inspired me to try recipes I would have never attempted myself. I love how many of his videos offer a great base for a recipe with ways to expand on it/make it your own. I highly recommend Alton Brown or Adam Ragusea as other chefs that go more into the why of food rather that just the how.

    Man, what a trip 😍 I think I found you somewhere around maybe 2008-ish, at the same time I was introduced to Michael Pollan and the omnivores dilemma, and practically everything that I am now proud to make as an adult came from you.
    One of my most vivid food memories was early on learning how to make roasted lamb shanks in a baking dish with tons of layers of foil sealing it all in, with rosemary and garlic, and then combining jam and red wine for a sauce. Your lamb shanks were the first “fancy“ food I ever learned to make, and I’ve used that same idea for a decade and a half now to make country ribs, pork, lamb, everything.
    You taught me all the basics like mashed potatoes and a good macaroni and cheese, and you turned exotic seeming recipes into some of my most favorite regular comfort foods. And I’m pretty sure that you’re the only cooking person in the entire world that ever explained to me that garlic turned bitter when it got too brown. I’d previously ruined a number of dishes without ever knowing why, and after learning it from you, I never ever trusted any other chef or celebrity that told me to brown garlic, unless they made a point to explain not take it too far 😆
    You literally changed my entire food life, starting in my early 20s, and everything you taught me has carried through all the way to today.
    In my world, you were my Julia child, and I will forever be thankful for you ☺️

I heart you, chef John! You will always be my one true original forever food love ☺️

      @Liquid Richard Pepsi Samuel McChili you may believe what you want. Sometimes, using words that people relate to as encouragement aren't meant to spread delusion, just empowerment. The way I see it, we all have an idea of what our higher power, if any at all, is. And the word God is the most commonly accepted colloquiasm to what most people would equate to their idea of a higher power, if they have one. No offense or malice meant, just a simply thank you with some niceties added.

Started like at 6pm and i didn't get anything on the plate till about 8pm due to technical difficulties. Chef John made it look easy, but this recipe is quite difficullt to pull off. Not gonna lie, it totally tastes like Breakfast; sausage and eggs type deal. Chef John, it's been 7 years since we first met; me and my wife love replicating your videos in our kitchen ! Thanks

I made 16 Panettone and numerous salted caramel custards. We even made the Yule Log last minute on Christmas Eve. It was lovely and a hit. Your recipes and instructions make it easy to succeed. Your humor is helpful too. God bless you.

    I've followed Chef John since 2008 and there's something very comforting about him sticking to his original format while still keeping it fresh with his sass and humor. Add to that his skills, knowledge and curiosity that inspires time and time again. In my opinion, the best teachers are transparent about potential mistakes and why they happen, yet they still motivate you to try, and that's why I consider Chef John the true OG of UA-cam cooking channels.

I can remember peeling and slicing lots of cucumbers for a dip for the highly seasoned (hot to some of us) meat dish. I do enjoy this when I eat at Greek restaurants. Thank you for sharing and letting me have a good memory. I can remember some of the other family members coming to our table to thank them for the delicious meal and making a comment on the spicy meat. They had not realized that the cucumber dip helped to "cool it down."

    Thank you John. Even my non-cooking friends enjoy watching you. An amasing success story - I feel that your success is largely due to your attitude of keeping things simple and straightforward so that anyone can feel they might be able to do it themselves. You encourage them to try. I have an expression; 'If you want to be healthy you need to cook.' Processed foods contain too many additives and harmful ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

    The kids had crazy ideas for thier favorite recipeies and how we thought, they were made. It's still super funny to read.

    I absolutely love some is your cool tricks! I’m 70 n got married at 16! Ran a cafe and ended up cooking in it! I have many who think my food is great! But your tips are fantastic! I have made twice baked potatoes for 50 years! Never have I had one stand up like that! And never have I added an egg! If I had never tried any of your recipes (I have) the twice bake potato would be where I strarted! My grands love a strawberry Dutch baby! They are 30-22 n I hope the grands do
    As well! My children are fantastic goods! My son goods and wife cleans!!! Perfect! Unfortunately my daughter and a cooks and chief dish washer! Thank you again!

    As a retired Chef, Chef John's vid's are a great reference point for many 'throwback' dishes not made for years. Add (his) running dialogue - success :)
