Food Wishes is great. Some people don't like Chef John's idiosyncracies but I think he's super entertaining and informative. Even for recipes I have no plans of doing, all his little tips and tricks have helped me become much more skilled in the kitchen.

Does anyone have that video of someone deep frying pierogi and they pop/explode everywhere? I've been trying to find it for ages.

PDP-1 posted:Just learned what a fondant potato is in another thread, watched this, and now I know what I'm trying out for dinner tomorrow. I made this. I used Canola oil, and it was pissing and spitting everywhere. Even with the potatoes dried off. Reading the comments regarding the high heat, one guy had his grapeseed burst into flames. I'm not that dumb, but yeah it makes a hell of a mess. I would almost rather put them in the oven with the oil. At any rate I don't think I did long enough , somehow. They seemed to be almost oozing when I was taking them out of the pan, but basically came out like a baked potato. It tasted good, but chopping them up is a waste of potato and, time. The comments in the blog post for that one describe another type of this, where they roast them whole, with red potatoes, then smash 'em part way through so they absorb the butter and broth.

Reading the comments regarding the high heat, one guy had his grapeseed burst into flames. I'm not that dumb, but yeah it makes a hell of a mess. I would almost rather put them in the oven with the oil. I also had modestly disappointing results, at least compared to what I was expecting. No real issues with the oil spitting unduly during the frying stage but during the baking stage the bottom half didn't seem to absorb the butter/broth the way I thought it would and the result was - as you mentioned - basically a baked potato with a crispy top. Good to be sure, but not the mind-blowing result the descriptions made it out to be. I'm not sure I get how the bake-then-smash technique would work in practice since it'd be really hard to smash *just enough* to break up the bottom without having the whole thing fall apart. I had considered either scoring the bottom or poking a bunch of holes in it with a fork to help it absorb more liquid. Anyway, I'd give it 7/10 for being solidly good but not great and will likely try some variations again in the future. exquisite tea posted:Food Wishes is great.

I do get how some people might find the way? all of his sentences? are inflected like they're questions? a bit grating after a while tho. Also, while not at all Chef John's fault, the YouTube search and recommendation system is crap and it's annoying to dig through his mountain of content trying to find something.

But you don't have to convince me otherwise because I'm going to watch him anyway and you don't have to.

Given the existence of, y'know, Julia Child, I feel like maybe having an unusual/funny voice is not a significant indicator of poor quality in cooking videos.

Julia Child is awesome because she talks like a normal person, funny voice aside. I'm sure Chef John makes great food as well (in fact I did fondant potatoes using his recipe and it was delicious). I just don't like listening to a living text to speech machine.

Any of the videos from How to Cook Like Heston, Gordon Ramsay's ultimate cookery course/ultimate home cooking are great, especially when you watch them and buy the books to go with them as you pick up little bits and pieces not mentioned in the book. I bought the two Ramsay books, I've not bought the Blumenthal book but I would honestly think I've done over half of the 100+ recipes in the ultimate cookery course book. Numerous have been done so much the pages are stained during the cooking process. I'd link them but I'm phone posting, there are torrents and so on available as well but I highly recommend them.

Chef John is the man and while his voice and humor got on my nerves at first after I tried one or two of his recipes I got over it. Now I even chuckle at his corny dad jokes. The fondant potatoes recipe worked out great for me, no problem with spitting oil. The really simple thyme and butter combo was so on point, as well. To contribute, this was the recipe of his my brother first sent me. Turns out great every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuPABfgsa4g

I don't usually keep mayo around since I typically use so little of it that 2/3 of even the tiniest store-bought jar goes to waste. Last week I needed some and it turns out making small batches is really easy and results in something better tasting than the stuff from the store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQuZX5MVsI Hopefully this will turn the thread from a discussion of whether Chef John is great or not (he is) to a discussion of whether Jamie Oliver is a talented but pretentious douchbag or not (he is). e: Also I did make the beef rouladen posted upthread a bit and they turned out great.

Nobody better badmouth Food Wishes while I'm around  Chef John rules, and it was his videos that got cooking to start clicking for me. A lot of them have some complicated ingredients, and I generally prefer simpler recipes, but I made his Garlic Lemon Chili Broccoli a couple days ago, and it was some of the best salad dressing I've ever had - took my brocc from crap to snap.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqSZ89FqpiY Yes, his cadence is kind of odd, but it's definitely just part of the videos at this point. Interviews with him and earlier videos have him talking normally. I don't mind his sense of humor and don't feel like it detracts from the show at all. "Yes, that does translate to Cock with Wine! But don't worry - we're gonna use chicken." Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Apr 28, 2016 |

CannonFodder posted:Cooking with Dog! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCnO8t3UR2w I also like Maangchi, who does Korean cooking. She spent all her time playing online video games ("Maangchi" is her gamer handle; she currently wants to make it legally part of her name) until her son suggested that she start a YouTube channel. She's been on the local NPR station in New York a few times, and the New York Times called her "the Korean Julia Child" (Maangchi wasn't even aware of who that person was before that comparison). And she makes great food. Bindaetteok made are like potato pancakes, except instead of potatoes, you add mung beans, other vegetables, and meat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJJawgzmgOk I love to make my own version of her buldak recipe. Instead of cooking it in an oven with cheese on top, I add more water to the mixture, cook it in a pot, and serve it over rice. I also use cayenne pepper instead of red pepper flakes. Be careful, it's very spicy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uI1-6Ac6A

Verbparadigm posted:I've made this before, and it is quite tasty. I've made it 4-5 times myself since posting that and it is pretty good. The one modification I've made is cutting down on the amount of stock/braising liquid by almost half and using a smaller cooking vessel to compensate so it continues to boil in its own juices - that gives a smaller amount of gravy that actually matches the portion size rather than going down the drain at the end and ends up richer tasting to boot. Chef John continues to be my favorite YouTube presenter. Good recipes, good production values, and most of all straight and to the point without any bullshit or pretense. I've even come to like his speaking style and corny dad jokes.
