That is so cool... I had something similar happen to me.. Not about cooking or Julia Child.. but I once was able to see and touch a photograph of the late Karen Carpenter that had been autographed by her in 1974... It was almost like touching the holy grail as a Carpenters fan... To know that that picture had once been held by my all time favourite singer... I got goosebumps in that moment...!
I met Julia at a signing when I was really young, I think I was 5 or 6, but I had already started cooking some of her recipes and loved her show. When I got up to see her I told her my name (I was a little kid, you always introduce with your name!) and her handler instantly came down going "she's not personalizing anything". I think being told what she was and was not doing irritated the hell out of her because she got this shit-eating grin and asked me how to spell it and where I had gotten such an old copy of her book (it was one my great-grandma let me take). It'll always be a memory I cherish!
In regards to Choux pastry, the best thing to do when you mix the flour on the stove is to dry that mixture a bit. You want the bottom of your pan to have a tiny film of dried dough stuck on it, that's the moment the dough is at the perfect dryness/gelatinousness. Drying that dough before mixing in the eggs means you'll get puffier puffs, the bubbles are gonna be way bigger and thus easier to fill after. Its not gonna affect the taste but its that special something that's gonna take your choux to the next level
I wholeheartedly agree. He always takes it off too early. If the recipe says it will take a minute, it will take a minute. It should be a little thick and appear dry, not still wet. In school my instructor would say it should go from shiny to dull looking. If it was still glistening, it was not mixed enough. He always figures out in the end.
Thank you for the tip and for clearing something up for me. I've never heard of this sort of pastry. The whole time I was confused as to why they would call it "Shoe pastry", which didn't sound appetizing.
One thing I really love about your approach is that you will remake something until you get it right, which I know for some recipes has given you a lot of grief. It is so nice to see you triumph in the end! And I know you’re learning a ton by doing this. Congrats on the new book and the first awesome recipe from it!
Watched Claire Saffitz make a Paris Brest, the same choux paste ring, but filled with praline moussaline. She cut the top ring into portions before placing on top, and filling did not ooze out when slicing.
Yes,Claire Saffitz is my go-to for baking anything I’m not sure about. And,her dinner rolls are the absolute best ever! As are her cinnamon rolls. Erin is still the pie queen,imo.
Butter, butter is the secret ingredient in your chocolate sauce. I make a similar, easier version of that sauce and it's the salted butter that creates this full-bodied, slightly salty, velvety, chocolaty goodness. Nice work, Jamie!
Chocolate has a memory. If you reserve some of the solid morsels and add them (stir them in to melt) AFTER you allow your hot syrup to cool down a few minutes, the morsels will magically help the syrup to thicken up! It is called tempering chocolate, very simple to do. I make home made almond joy bars for my grand kids and this step is a must.
Having no training whatsoever, except for a little experience as a short order cook at a bowling alley (and the love of cooking at home) I became a part-time cook at a bed-and-breakfast. I turned to two cookbooks and one of them was Julia Child’s. I used her hollandaise sauce recipe and I would also serve her crêpes Suzette for breakfast. And her stuffed mushrooms were the beyond the best I’ve ever had! When the French go simple, they really make it fantastic just like the Italians! So thank you Julia for your support! I ended up making a 15-year career as a bed-and-breakfast Innkeeper.
One of the things I love about your channel is that you openly and without shame enjoy the food you make. When you try the dish we need no words to be able to tell if you love it or not makes me happy to see
Your editing is always top notch, but this video really stood out. The part with the gold serving dish, especially, made me giggle. Thanks so much for making a gray and dreary afternoon better! Like many others, I'm excited to see what comes out of this new cookbook.
I’m a former chef and I love your channel! Baking with Julia is a masterpiece cookbook, I highly recommend it. There’s a wedding cake in there I would love to see you tackle! Love how she taught you to cook !
I have that book. It’s come in handy here and there. I’ve only made a few simplier breads and pretty standard pies, but I keep eying those more complicated dishes. I’ll get there! I have ADHD, so time management is a huge concern when I’m making these multi step type recipes-so much to go wrong! The pictures in the book are absolutely delightful though, and the book generally feels more approachable than a lot of her other cookbooks I’ve thumbed through.
Jamie I being thoroughly honest, watching you do the cooking from scratch, not giving up, not losing hope and starting again is a huge inspiration to me. Keep up with the good work🥳
17:00 i’m so proud of you, not only did you improve the sauce by making a roux, you let it cool before pouring it on. the old jamie would never!!! you really have learnt so much 🥺💕
HOLY CRAP NEW COOK BOOK!!!! Love the vids man, very engaging stuff.. Hope you blow up soon because you deserve it! Edit: I know it is not the first time you remake the dish, but i really appreciate that aswell.. Looked freaking delicious!
I just joined Patreon because of you! So entertaining. I’m a retired chef and really enjoy your channel. You’ve inspired me to start cooking all the Julia Child recipes again.
my two-cents worth: when making this, or its cousin the Paris-Brest its best to pre-cut the top part of the ring and lay the pieces ontop of the cream bottom, that way when you take a knife to cut portions the knife pressure won't cause all the cream/custard to ooze out.
Just discovered you just before Christmas and I think I’ve binged half of all your videos in the past couple of weeks! I’m very excited to see what comes out of this new book.
@@emmajanewatts4388 same! I really want to start trying some new more complex recipes this year thanks to him. I’m a pretty confident cook but I do tend to stick to more basic recipes usually out of convenience. But I’m definitely going to step out of my comfort zone this year.
@@OncleClara what I love about Jamie is he messes up like we all do but he tries again. It gives me more confidence in trying new recipes. I’m lucky because my kitchen is well equipt and I have nearly every herb and spice going but it’s taken along time to get there and build it up, my prized possession is my kitchenaid lol
Regarding microwaves: namecheck: Alison Holst legendary icon of New Zealand home cooking and bakery. She started out demonstrating microwave cooking when it was weird new rocket science 😂 an extraordinary talented and relatable woman, a food influencer in an earlier age. Her recipe books defined several decades of New Zealand domestic cooking. My favourite recipe is a sticky gingerbread loaf - but that’s just because the rest of her recipes I use are so well used I’ve forgotten I got them from Alison 😊
I just found your series during the fall of 2022 and it's great. It makes me laugh, you have humility and if at first you don't succeed, you give it a go again until you get it. That's the coolest thing about your approach to cooking.
I found him 2 years ago, caught up on content then - I highly recommend his early videos and I’m delighted to start this third year. I asked for and received the Mastering…2 vol set, inspired by Jamie.
I knew you were gonna nail this one! I remember your previous choux successes. And not being satisfied with your first attempt, and starting again? That's why I watch you! Cheers Jamie!
Not only are you a good learner and soon to be professional chef, you are also a great director of your videos. This was a thoroughly entertaining video. Thanks for all the effort. You are one of the RUclips contributors that I watch to learn how to cook. You rarely disappoint.
I just recently started watching these videos. It's amazing to watch him go from not even knowing what a roux is, to improvising it into a chocolate sauce. The progress is evident!
You have THE WAY TO COOK! Magnifique! This is really the compendium of her experiences over a busy lifetime of learning and cooking, and I honestly think it will serve you better than MASTERING... (which, though a deserved classic, was a first try, and perhaps overly tied to "the way they've always done it"). It's well organized in terms of Master Recipes and their variations. And this was a great one! I'm impressed that you did it all over again, because honestly the first try wasn't bad and I would have been proud of it. And really, when she says "scrape out uncooked pastry," she means exactly that -- if it's all cooked, you can leave it unscraped. But the danger with choux pastry, as you know, is that there'll be actual raw dough inside after baking, and one has to deal with that. You did great. As always.
Growing up Danish around many well-seasoned bakers who could make Cream Puffs blindfolded, I'd suggest the next time you make the pastry, to add your eggs and really mix them in well. It develops the gluten in the flour slightly and allows for the pastry to have a stiffer texture before you bake them and lets them rise more consistently and evenly in the oven. It almost looks like your oven is too hot. The finished pastry should be a lot lighter in color and somewhat thicker.
Jamie, I don't know where you get so much patience. I've watched most of your videos and am constantly amazed at the fact that you are so willing to try it again. I used to do a lot of baking in my younger days but never tried my failures over again. One time was enough to totally frustrate me and give up. Congrats to you on being so focused and intense about what you're doing. I thoroughly enjoy watching you, especially the Julia Child episodes.
When I saw that second pastry rise I legit screamed "YEEEES LETS GOOO", Choux is tricky, even if it wasn't perfect, the fact that at the end you enjoyed it makes it perfect. Great work!
The bubbling that happened when you put in the vanilla extract was the ethanol or whatever else the vanilla is dissolved in evaporating. Alcohol boils quicker than the water thats in the rest of the pot.
I would suggest assembling the pastry on a cooling rack over a lined cookie sheet. The pastry can continue to dry out and then you can pour over the sauce. It will nicely drip over the edges and then you can transfer that to a dish or the board. Less mess and neater. That is what I would do. Also what I noticed in the first attempt is that the sauce was thin. It should be thin but pourable like a fudge sauce.
I'm bingeing your channel, Jamie, and one of the things I love the MOST is how your book is getting more and more decrepit over time, in a lovely, well read, well enjoyed book way. It's a great sign. ❤❤ You are great, I really enjoy your cooking. 🙂
16:29 yesterday, i went to the grocery store. I remembered to buy cream cheese but completely forgot the bagels….and now your cream puff, is making me crave a bagel with cream cheese 😂 That creampuff wheel/tire/donut thing looks so SO GOOD! You could even make that as a Christmas/winter dessert, drizzling green white chocolate and decorating with some red icing, raspberries, candy, etc. for berries to make it look like a wreath. Great job, as usual! I love your perseverance, Jaime! Happy New Year 🥳
I feel like so many other comments are like these (but hey, that's a good thing I think!!!) - I just discovered your channel like two days ago and I cannot stop watching your videos. They're genuinely so engaging and funny and I just feel like I love you as a person (or is that too much too soon? oops). I love how you never give up with a recipe and really give your best (and you're getting better and better!) I seriously wish you all the best, thank you for sharing these videos with us, you are just so cool. May your dreams come true. Greetings from Germany!
Saw a comment about wanting to join patron because of you! I agree! Your videos, the chaos, the sarcasm, the mess… the willingness to mess up and try again, I love it! Makes me want to try more new things. And cheers me up when I’m anxious or having a bad day. Thank you for your videos!
I’m amazed how much you’ve improved even this year. I’m envious of your pie crust skills although I haven’t tried using any lard or shortening which I’ve heard helps with workability. I love your videos so much. I’m on crutches for at least 12 weeks right now and unable to cook so I’m binge watching all of your videos,even ones I’ve seen before. Thank you!
One of my favorite books of hers! Much easier to understand and there are Pictures! 😊 Yes! My favorite part is that you will redo a recipe if it doesn't work the first. Chef's do this constantly. This is how we develop and create our own recipes. Make it over and over again until we are 😊 And happy is great isn't it Jamie when you can accomplish a recipe very well. Great job Chef Jamie!
It is important to cook the shoe for a minute or so you want to cook the flower little bit get rid of some of the more water. By doing that you should have a puffier rise.
Jamie, your enthusiasm is infectious! Good on you. For all those making "suggestions?" Where's YOUR RUclips channel trying to replicate these recipes? There are no mistakes in cooking/baking; only learning experiences. Keep going man! Can't wait for the next video!
I just watched this you are getting it. So proud of you. If you make this again dry the choux paste in your pan on heat moderate for a few minutes then add the eggs. You can also use silver fix to help you blend the eggs. You don't have to mix the eggs first when you use silver fix. You are adding extra air into it when you mix the eggs first. Then mix until all eggs are mixed in and the dough is ready to spread. Then bake in oven and I am enjoying watching you work it out.
congratulations! I'm so happy you got 'The Way to Cook'. As for the thin chocolate sauce, could you have undercooked it first go round? Perhaps it was supposed to be like a fudge sauce and it needed to be cooked a while so it would thicken (soft ball stage??)
Damn you.… I had just bought Julia Childs, volume one and volume two and they're supposed to arrive next week. You have single-handedly decimated the supply of The Way to Cook cookbook... that book should arrive on the 25th. I love watching (and rewatching) your videos! I'm super excited to get my books and start making the things that you're making because they really look delicious. Keep up the great work and once I get all my bills paid off (including 3 cookbooks) gonna become a patron because I don't want you to stop honing your skills while making me laugh...
I drooled watching this video, lol. I've had that dessert once in my life and the chef told me he put just a wee bit of Amaretto in the whipped cream portion - was excellent!
That’s the one I kept. Of all her books and my huge cookbook collection I’ve kept fewer than a half dozen cookbooks. That’s a keeper. Love your videos.
i'm SO glad you got TWTC - her magnum opus in every sense of the word. for st patrick's day, i recommend making her corned beef recipe - it's THE BEST i've ever tasted - you'll need to start it about a month ahead of st patty's day. i promise you'll never eat that store-bought pink stuff again. btw, on the basis of this video, you are now the first channel i have subscribed to on YT (although i've seen the majority of your videos already).
I binge watch your videos everyday because RUclips has it in my feed, and because I love your content, then your videos are no longer being recommended when I realize I haven’t seen any of stuff in a week.
Another fantastic job !! And more literal LOL moments ... I almost choked on my sip of water at a couple points. I especially like the "film noir" effects when you didn't accept your first try and went into round 2 ... wonderful !!
I laugh my ass off with your videos when you fail but as a professional cook I can tell you that your persistence amazes me a lot. You simply don't give up and I give you props for that.its gonna take you much farther than were you are now.p.s. dont eat all that by yourself man that's a lot of fat for one person 😵💫.Anyway,keep it up!
I’m also so glad to see that your pans look like mine! Well used and loved. When I make cream puffs I always chill it before I add the eggs, otherwise sometimes te eggs cook a bit
Smiles of pleasure, as opposed to smiles of discomfort, disdain, or delirium 🙂 Lol but nah for reals, great work dude!! I’m super addicted to this channel right now! Also holy crap the struggle with the book holder was frkn hilarious 😂 😂😂
The vanilla "reaction" in the chocolate sauce was just the liquid carrier boiling out because the sugars were much hotter than the flavoring's boiling point. Check out some videos from Hercules Candy, and you can see that happen a lot!
It's so nice to see how selfassured and suave you have become when making choux pastry. A few tips: when filling round shapes, use a piping bag to avoid spilling. If your coclate sauce is runny, add a little mre cocoa powder. Instead of just dumping the butter in, try something called "monter au beurre": Gradually add small pieces of cold butter to the warm sauce and carefully mix them in. This technique can be used on any sauce that requires butter. It's a bit tricky, but worth it.
Easy Chocolate Sauce that will be thick enough to cling to the pastry: Melt 4 TBS of unsalted butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add 3/4 C of sugar and 1/4 C of cocoa powder and turn heat up to medium. Cook until chocolate is melted. Off the heat add 1 C of milk. The mixture looks like a mess. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until the sauce comes together and all the sugar melts. Reduce by 1/3 to 1/2 to get a nice syrup. This is a forgiving sauce- just keep simmering until it is smooth and thick. Goes great on ice cream, too.
When I was at cooking school, Julia came to promote this book. I met her and bought this book. She signed it for my mom. Such a lifetime experience.
That is so cool... I had something similar happen to me.. Not about cooking or Julia Child.. but I once was able to see and touch a photograph of the late Karen Carpenter that had been autographed by her in 1974... It was almost like touching the holy grail as a Carpenters fan... To know that that picture had once been held by my all time favourite singer... I got goosebumps in that moment...!
wow🎉
@@KNPrinceI love her voice, too. So sad about her insecurities. I can understand how being able to touch her autographed photo would be so special.

@@AlphaDelilas What a wonderful story and memory to cherish. 🥹
I don't know why but I love when he has to redo a recipe because we get a longer video

It’s like in a heist movie where things go wrong, but they figure out a way to still get the diamonds.

Butter, butter is the secret ingredient in your chocolate sauce. I make a similar, easier version of that sauce and it's the salted butter that creates this full-bodied, slightly salty, velvety, chocolaty goodness. Nice work, Jamie!
Not to mention butter is a great emulsifier! If you mix it in before adding the rest of the liquid, it will make the sauce thicker without the flour
With what can we substitute the corn sirop?
I love a bittersweet chocolate sauce made with salted butter!

They're genuinely so engaging and funny and I just feel like I love you as a person (or is that too much too soon? oops). I love how you never give up with a recipe and really give your best (and you're getting better and better!) I seriously wish you all the best, thank you for sharing these videos with us, you are just so cool. May your dreams come true. Greetings from Germany!
I very much like that the Julia series is continuing and there are more and more recipes! Good job!!!
The editing is spectacular!!!
"Thats a warning" made me LOL. I hope you don't runout, I enjoy your videos.
Saw a comment about wanting to join patron because of you! I agree! Your videos, the chaos, the sarcasm, the mess… the willingness to mess up and try again, I love it! Makes me want to try more new things. And cheers me up when I’m anxious or having a bad day. Thank you for your videos!
I’m amazed how much you’ve improved even this year. I’m envious of your pie crust skills although I haven’t tried using any lard or shortening which I’ve heard helps with workability. I love your videos so much. I’m on crutches for at least 12 weeks right now and unable to cook so I’m binge watching all of your videos,even ones I’ve seen before. Thank you!
One of my favorite books of hers! Much easier to understand and there are Pictures! 😊 Yes! My favorite part is that you will redo a recipe if it doesn't work the first. Chef's do this constantly. This is how we develop and create our own recipes. Make it over and over again until we are 😊 And happy is great isn't it Jamie when you can accomplish a recipe very well. Great job Chef Jamie!
It is important to cook the shoe for a minute or so you want to cook the flower little bit get rid of some of the more water. By doing that you should have a puffier rise.
I don't think I've ever seen something so beautiful as the chocolate sauce going on the cream puff.
Remember the look of that book and lets wait to see how it looks like by the end of the year.
Crash -bang-crash - " I'm okay....!" ......LMAO.......🤣🤣👍👍..LOVE your videos!
Jamie, your enthusiasm is infectious! Good on you. For all those making "suggestions?" Where's YOUR RUclips channel trying to replicate these recipes? There are no mistakes in cooking/baking; only learning experiences. Keep going man! Can't wait for the next video!
Julia Child’s kitchen is on display in DC at Smithsonian Museum of American History. You perhaps could do a pilgrimage.
I just watched this you are getting it. So proud of you. If you make this again dry the choux paste in your pan on heat moderate for a few minutes then add the eggs. You can also use silver fix to help you blend the eggs. You don't have to mix the eggs first when you use silver fix. You are adding extra air into it when you mix the eggs first. Then mix until all eggs are mixed in and the dough is ready to spread. Then bake in oven and I am enjoying watching you work it out.
WOW! Great to see the revised version and how well it worked! FABULOUS! Great work!~
I love that you slog on and do it all again, in such good cheer!
Kudos to you!
congratulations! I'm so happy you got 'The Way to Cook'. As for the thin chocolate sauce, could you have undercooked it first go round? Perhaps it was supposed to be like a fudge sauce and it needed to be cooked a while so it would thicken (soft ball stage??)
Make the Bombe Aux Trois Chocolates in this cookbook. I’ve been making it since high school (54 now) and it’s absolutely heavenly. So good!
I made cream puffs the other day and loved the effect of adding gelatin and piping with a star tip. So pretty from the side!
This is such a professional choux pastry ring. My little guy is all grown up.
Love the editing, looking forward to what you make in 2023🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Damn you.… I had just bought Julia Childs, volume one and volume two and they're supposed to arrive next week. You have single-handedly decimated the supply of The Way to Cook cookbook... that book should arrive on the 25th. I love watching (and rewatching) your videos! I'm super excited to get my books and start making the things that you're making because they really look delicious. Keep up the great work and once I get all my bills paid off (including 3 cookbooks) gonna become a patron because I don't want you to stop honing your skills while making me laugh...
I drooled watching this video, lol. I've had that dessert once in my life and the chef told me he put just a wee bit of Amaretto in the whipped cream portion - was excellent!
I’ve been making that for years, and it’s one of my favorites. I found it in a magazine in the 90’s. ❤️
It's a great book. I bought it when it came out and have used it for years.
That’s the one I kept. Of all her books and my huge cookbook collection I’ve kept fewer than a half dozen cookbooks. That’s a keeper. Love your videos.
Jamie I am so proud of how far you have come! Great job!
I love that you are always willing to re do it to get a better result. I can assure you that most people wouldn’t.
I love your honestly! Great job! 😊
Good call on not scraping out the insides of the rings. That choux pastry unbelievably delicious.
Happy New Year Jamie.Loved how you didn't quit and your redo was fabulous.
What is it about Jamie battling through a stressful giant dessert that makes my day less stressful? 😊😂
i'm SO glad you got TWTC - her magnum opus in every sense of the word. for st patrick's day, i recommend making her corned beef recipe - it's THE BEST i've ever tasted - you'll need to start it about a month ahead of st patty's day. i promise you'll never eat that store-bought pink stuff again.
btw, on the basis of this video, you are now the first channel i have subscribed to on YT (although i've seen the majority of your videos already).
“Order up!” So satisfying…
I just love your channel. I always look forward to your cooking.
I binge watch your videos everyday because RUclips has it in my feed, and because I love your content, then your videos are no longer being recommended when I realize I haven’t seen any of stuff in a week.
Can’t wait to see this new cookbook get as used as the last one did.
My kitty passed away today. It’s been so hard… thank you for the giggles :*) your videos are so amazing!
Another fantastic job !! And more literal LOL moments ... I almost choked on my sip of water at a couple points. I especially like the "film noir" effects when you didn't accept your first try and went into round 2 ... wonderful !!
I laugh my ass off with your videos when you fail but as a professional cook I can tell you that your persistence amazes me a lot. You simply don't give up and I give you props for that.its gonna take you much farther than were you are now.p.s. dont eat all that by yourself man that's a lot of fat for one person 😵💫.Anyway,keep it up!
I’m also so glad to see that your pans look like mine! Well used and loved. When I make cream puffs I always chill it before I add the eggs, otherwise sometimes te eggs cook a bit
That nightmare sequence from 11:30 - 12:40 absolutely killed me. Was in tears 🤣🤣🤣
That second go of the chocolate sauce looked Devine 🤤🤤🤤
That is my favorite cookbook. The bread recipes are excellent.
I made chocolate filled/chocolate covered cream puffs once, they were dangerously good
Smiles of pleasure, as opposed to smiles of discomfort, disdain, or delirium 🙂
Lol but nah for reals, great work dude!! I’m super addicted to this channel right now!
Also holy crap the struggle with the book holder was frkn hilarious 😂 😂😂
Ooh looking forward to this year as I got that cookbook for Christmas and it was even signed!
Truly a Masterpiece, good job!
I admire your determination to actually make the cream puff twice!
Great job! 👍🏻
The vanilla "reaction" in the chocolate sauce was just the liquid carrier boiling out because the sugars were much hotter than the flavoring's boiling point. Check out some videos from Hercules Candy, and you can see that happen a lot!
It's so nice to see how selfassured and suave you have become when making choux pastry.
A few tips: when filling round shapes, use a piping bag to avoid spilling.
If your coclate sauce is runny, add a little mre cocoa powder. Instead of just dumping the butter in, try something called "monter au beurre": Gradually add small pieces of cold butter to the warm sauce and carefully mix them in. This technique can be used on any sauce that requires butter. It's a bit tricky, but worth it.
Easy Chocolate Sauce that will be thick enough to cling to the pastry: Melt 4 TBS of unsalted butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add 3/4 C of sugar and 1/4 C of cocoa powder and turn heat up to medium. Cook until chocolate is melted. Off the heat add 1 C of milk. The mixture looks like a mess. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until the sauce comes together and all the sugar melts. Reduce by 1/3 to 1/2 to get a nice syrup. This is a forgiving sauce- just keep simmering until it is smooth and thick. Goes great on ice cream, too.
Idk why but this is one of my favorite videos you’ve made. Great job Jamie
Reminds me of an éclair. Oh I'm craving an éclair now.
Today I learned that a roux is not just for savory dishes! Another great episode. THANK YOU!
