    Not your fault Jamie. The chef left out the parts where you have a bowl of ice water to "shock" the oysters and stop the cooking process. So, you keep all the oysters in a strainer just drop them in the hot broth for a few seconds 20-30 seconds and immediately put them into the ice water bath. Then the sensitive oysters aren't overcooked, always better slightly under cooked than over cooked and rubbery. He forgot those steps, which he used as I can see these missing steps in his picture.

      Imo, that means he’s skipping things and has missing details in his recipes. For one, someone mentioned the cooked oysters should have immediately gone into a bath of ice water to avoid them overcooking, but this is missing from his recipes. It’s like he assumes people know how to IDEALLY process everything, but that’s not how recipes work.
      Someone who’s familiar with oysters will know to do the ice bath, but the average person buying his recipe book absolutely won’t-if they know oysters are normally put in ice, they may assume he intentionally left out that steps as it’s not in the recipe. At least that’s what I would think if I knew more about oysters.

    Some chefs really don't know how to write a cookbook, and their ghostwriters rarely know enough to help them, so you've probably got a hopeless road ahead of you with this endeavor. One of the great things about The French Laundry Cookbook is that Michael Ruhlman devoted himself tireless to the task of transforming Keller's work into a useable cookbook, and the results speak for themselves.

    • @marthalorden8498
      @marthalorden8498 Месяц назад +12

      Yeah. Spot on. Keller's and White's "cookbooks" contain recipes, but they are not really composed for home cooks to recreate. These gorgeous books are intended more for the coffee table and nightstand than the kitchen shelves. They do unlock the behind-the-stove mystery and magic of how their signature dish is prepared, but offer minimum guidance on technique. Any "how to" info is probably at the insistence of the publisher and ghostwriters who attempt to put the recipe together with only spotty conferencing time with (sometimes resistant) top chefs, most of whom don't use or even have written versions of their masterpieces. (I review cookbooks for Publishers Weekly).

We provided our own transportation to hospitals. But, my grandmother, when hearing of an illness, always said a prayer for the sufferer, and any death was met with a heartfelt, "God have mercy on his/her soul." She's been gone since 1978 and I, in my declining years, find myself uttering those same prayers for those same reasons. It's heartwarming to hear you do something similar.

      The way I see things like this is that Cooking Is, at the end of the day, An Art, so cookbooks like this are better interpreted as a brief peek of the artist's process than a hard-and-fast bullet point to replicating their success.
      I'm not saying that's necessarily a good OR bad thing, I do believe you need to understand your audience and perhaps a cookbook of this tier is an exercise in futility (i.e. assumed Fine Dining Standards for a presumed home cook audience is probably a bit of an ignorant assumption lol), but I think it's a necessary publication all the same!

      Makes sense to me. Like if you told someone to get you "Yellow bananas with light brown spots" you wouldn't look at them like an idiot because you peel the banana later. One of the tricks to finding a good watermelon is to get a Dark skin, Round/regular shape, with orange spot on the bottom compared to an oval, light and shiny, with white field spot. Wanting a Dark skin cucumber makes more sense than wanting a a light unripe one.

    As a cookbook writer with chef co-authors, I can assure you that their cuisine is often not meant to leave their kitchens--but pride and ego sometimes get these dishes, recipes that are unreproducable, into cookbooks meant for home cooks. Too, recipes often don't work because they've been insufficiently tested or poorly edited. Don't feel bad; it's hard to imagine anyone making this recipe and coming up with a real winner.

    Such a valiant effort and in true Jamie style, you never gave up. Don't be disheartened. All the food pictures in those books are done by professional photographers, food stylists and lighting effects, not to mention photoshopping the end results. MPW is notorious for leaving out little steps. He makes the recipes look simple but with those missings directions it can quickly turn into every cooks worst nightmare. Somehow seeing you struggle through your perceived disasters makes you so much more relatable and endearing. I say perceived because what you call a disaster still looks mighty fine to me. I hope you are feeling better as you looked so dejected at the end.

    I almost always halve recipes and I’ve found that keeping two thirds of flavorful liquids like wine and vinegar tends to work better. Not only is there more flavor but when halved theres usually not enough volume to do whatever it’s supposed to for the other ingredients (eg not enough sauce to cover the dish). It might be worth trying for the beurre blanc if you ever feel like reattempting this dish

I would cry and steel myself to be just ripped to shreds by Chef at the end of class. Then, every time, they would remind me that I was a student and NO ONE gets it perfect on the first try. That's why we were spending all that time and money to learn. Learning is an ongoing thing, and I think the fact that you attempted this dish at all shows how much you've learned, and are continuing to learn. I don't think any of us expect you to present a perfect dish every single time, and I hope you will give yourself the same grace.
