4 Levels of Tiramisu: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2024
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Desi, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Jurgen David, director of pastry research and development at the Institute of Culinary Education - to make us their take on a classic tiramisu. Once each level of chef had presented their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which tiramisu will you be your next sweet treat?

"I'm Desi, I'm a level 1 chef."
"I'm Daniel, I'm a level 2 chef."
"I'm Chef Jürgen, I'm an ultimate super chef with a phd of medical gastronomic cooking engineering chemistry of culinary physics."
lmao I had to check that back at the intro 😂 😂
@@hanajimasaki3295 hahaha
Level 3 has kids that fight over all the food. That's why he has a scale
Alternately: siblings close in age
(source: personal experience)
Alternatively: A perfectionist who HATES when other people improperly cut portions.
Its one thing if you ASK for a smaller piece, its another entirely if your piece is smaller because other people are hogs.
or maybe he could be a professional who gets paid to make them uniformly...cant say though
Even without that people use scale
Level 3 is hidden level 0

@@KosongIce that’s ominous
@@mejhdhhicbfshihids652 more like bitter
"Everyone else is dipping? Well, that's why I'm a pro" LMAO the quiet way he said it had me rolling. Chef Jurgen is a welcome addition to this series and I wanna see him swap ingredients now.
I think they are sometimes better dipped. A lot of older adults have fragile teeth and would appreciate something just short of hard for a more pleasant experience when eating.
@@ninjaydes his are fresh and aren't going to be hard like the store bought cookies.
the level 2 chefs tiramisu collapsed bc he dipped them fully. you just need to barely touch each side of the biscuit to get it soft like sponge cake. it also needs to rest for a day in the fridge to moisten.
Yes! I need his little quips
While all of them look and sound amazing, this is by far one of the best lvl3 performances: no super hyper special ingredients, no "plottwist", nothing extraordinary. Just straight up well done Tiramisu with highly educational tips and well executed techniques. Great episode overall! We will gladly expect Jürgen in future videos for sure!
Yup, just great techniques and nothing over the top
exactly what i thought, this is the only one where i'd actually enjoy the level 3 one the most
not authentic tiramisu tho
orange vs lemon is a big diff
italians love limoncello and germans love oranges i guess
Except for the gelatin. Properly made tiramisu shouldn’t require it to stand up straight, sous vide the egg and it holds its shape. Gelatin is cheating.
Chef Jurgen was my chef-instructor at FCI 22 years ago! He’s awesome. So cool to see him here.
Cool! I Went do WHUB 18 years ago.
Okay, chef Jurgen won me over real quick.
not authentic tiramisu tho
orange vs lemon is a big diff
italians love limoncello and germans love oranges i guess
@@Potent_Techmology He hasn't claimed it to be one, so no point calling that out.
Proud how much Desi has grown as an amateur chef! Everyone did an excellant job!
Thank you!!!!!
Yes! I see him as the next Emily!
@@DesiJohnson24 desi!!
@DesiJohnson24 it’s so sweet how you’re responding to like all of these comments 😭💗
@@DesiJohnson24 You did a great job, even my Italian friends didn't complain!👌
"I read the bag, that's how I know they're Italian"
Most level 1 chef line ever
The new Level 3 Chef is amazing!!! He reminds me of an older version of Chef Bill!!!
I like him too! He is funny! 😍
They all look amazing, but I’m Italian and I use my grandmother recipe…there is no custard in tiramisu. Is only eggs, sugar, mascarpone, ladyfingers and espresso+amaretto shot if you like but not mandatory.
You mix two tablespoons of sugar with two egg yolks, you then beat the whites until firm, mix everything together with mascarpone slowly and this is your cream. Then you layer your ladyfingers and dip them in espresso as you go. Top with cocoa.
Again all of the recipes look amazing and I mean no disrespect.
because of factory farming in america, most of us are too afraid of salmonella in raw eggs so heating those eggs into a custard / zabaglione is probably an american adaptation of the recipe
@@lmsalimyou can still pasteurise your eggs adding a hot simple syrup to the egg mixture and skipping the sugar into the coffee
The level 5 way to make it... real OG
I was so disapointed with the professional chef... i thought at least one of the three would make a real tiramisu and not low quality american adaptations.
Thank you! I was looking for this comment! There's also no whipping cream on the original tiramisu recipe. I'm in Portugal and I make it like you said. Only eggs, sugar, mascarpone, ladyfingers and espresso coffees (but instead of amaretto liqueur, I use my mom's homemade coffee liqueur). It's even tastier if made the night before 😊
I think Desi's looks better than Daniel's, but Daniel's will definitely be a much more interesting taste. Jurgen's a pro, there's no way I could add anything to that discussion.
All 3 levels look great but perfectly showed the varying skill levels
Wow, Desi making his own custard instead of just buying a tub of cool-whip? Dude's moving up.
I would eat all of these if they were offered to me. Jurgen's ganache reminds me of Ben&Jerry's Topped Tiramisu, which is easily one of my favorite of their flavors.
Feel me ? I’m growing dogs !!!!
Did he even use any egg? None of these were tiramisu
he did lol@@dantethunderstone2118
@@dantethunderstone2118I promise the trained pastry chef w/ decades of experience knows better than you do my dude lmao
He just made a mascarpone cream spread. It might be suited for people who are allergic to eggs or don’t like eggs. I personally think that it’s not rich enough for a tiramisu.
Chef Jürgen is so sweet and funny🥹 Feature him more!
Level 0: going to costco and getting their huge tray of tiramisu
its bad, i tried it
Level 5: nonnas recipe thats actually tiramisu
huge tray? i only see costco tiramisu in boxes
Jürgen needs to appear in more episodes!
Why? So he can insult the other chefs "Everyone else is dipping?" YES BC everyone else likes lots of coffee flavor. His ego is obnoxious and, while his Tiramisu was the prettiest, both of the others would taste better.
@@loriki8766a little joke makes him Obnoxious? 😭😭😭
I appreciated this over some of the other Level 3’s who show no emotion 😅
@@loriki8766 Obnoxious?? Ahahha please, he's such a positive guy, just a few of those words don't determine who he actually is, everybody speaks something defensive sometimes and that's normal
@@loriki8766chef Jurgen is a sweet angel how dare you
@@loriki8766 I didn't like him either
the lvl 3 chef is too cute!!! hes so happy to make this but have fun with it!
Jürgen’s joy is infectious! I’d love to see him again!
"I'm going to share my heart with you" ......... Level 3 chef........ you are lovely 💜
I love chef jurgen's subtle and playful shade hahaha. also mah boi Desi whipping his own cream, I thought he's gonna use a whipped cream spray...
All italians dying over the chef adding gelatin and orange juice 😱
True... The chefs did not even say they're doing it the Italian way.
would love to see all three of them trying each other's food!
I'm so proud of Desi and Daniel. They both did great.
Like, Daniel's Tiramisu was definitely gonna taste ABSOLUTELY interesting, and Desi was just a sensitive, hearty human being full of Love.
On these 4 levels videos, I always really want to see the 3 try each others' results. I kind of assume it happens, please film it. :)
The way she described gelatin! Chef's kiss!
The chef complaining about the store-bought ladyfingers confuses me. Wouldn’t you want them to be dry so they soak up more of the coffee, and it’s going to be covered in mascarpone anyway.
my tiramisu recipe consists of savoiardi, 4 eggs, sugar, mascarpone and made coffee (where to dip the savoiardi ligthly). it turns out fabulous. at least that's the recipe I've always done back at Italy (born and raised there). you should def try it.
lmao that's all you really need (also cocoa powder to put on top) pretty simple
Desi seems like a very fun person to cook with and Daniel is like a handsome Lin Manuel Miranda haha. Actually all three of these guys are very funny and fun to watch. They all did great.
Niceeee Desi and Daniel are cool ! And chef Jürgen is an awesome addition!
Thank you!!!!
The best episode ever!! All three are hilarious and fun to watch! More Chef Jurgen pls!!!
Desi always has the "I love to feed my community" vibe.
I really enjoyed watching the versions. It is the first time I see chef Jürgen and it was so charming and calm. Great addition !
Chef Jürgen is an incredible addition, what a fun guy!
Interesting, none of them made a "classical tiramisu", the one Italian grandmas make on RUclips. All of them had their own twist, even Level 1 is an americanized version.
Level 1 was the least authentic Italian one
Came here to say that! There is no whipped cream in tiramisu, and it has to have raw eggs...
Yes. It almost made me throw up seeing how they all BUTCHERED it.
Exactly! It is so sad to see this classic dessert ruined by American influences. The worst being even a level 3 chef using whipped cream, he should know better.
y’all are sooooo dramatic lmao
7:08 - THAT WAS COLD.
Chef Jürgen is a mood. 😂
Protect Chef Jurgen at all costs!!! sweetest pro chef ever 💖🥺
Gonna admit, I personally mix Level 1 and 2 recepies for my perfekt Tiramisu
IDK why I bust out laughing when the pro chef asked if everyone is dunking, his expression was funny
Babe wake up new 4 levels just dropped
as an italian I have to say I wanted to cry at multiple points in the video :)
not even Italian, but the look of horror on my face when they brought out cream?? why. You can easily pasteurize eggs by making a syrup, turning them into a custard is unnecessary.
Like every European 😅
Loved hearing Rose explain coffee! All the chefs did a fantastic job 😋
I love this level 3 chef
Desi is a joy to watch 😭😭
he was making me laugh
Chef Jürgen seems like a great addition to the channel. Hope he'll get to swap ingredients soon :p
As a student of chef Jürgen, I will try his recipe! It is guaranteed.
Jurgen's looks absolutely wonderful. I will say that I love the wavy top on Desi's ... I don't think it was intentional, but I like that presentation a bit more than Daniel's. I would eat all three
Thank you
Can't wait to see this play out 😂
Loved the video. Desi, your energy is awesome.
Love you!!! Thank you
Love these three!!
Nice having a light-hearted expert for a change.
Yes! Desi great traditional style!! Bet it tasted amazing!
Jurgen is awesome! Learned a lot!
All those guys looked so happy cooking.
Desi is such a wholesome guy, really enjoyed this episode.
I definitely want more videos with Jürgen!
I love all three of these guys. This was awesome!
best episode yet
Jurgen was so sweet trying to make equal desserts, I am in awe of him!
The level 3 guy is actually a level 4 or 5 guy, based on his qualifications. An actual level three chef would be someone who has worked as a pastry chef for a couple of years in a restaurant, not someone who teaches it professionally.
That was fun to watch! Love all 3 of these guys.
I want more of Chef Jurgen!
Chef Jurgen IS AMAZING
Welcome back Desi! Welcome back Daniel!
frank would've been here but he was too busy going back in time to invent the dish in the first place
Love all these guys and they're personalities shining through!
They are too cute 😂❤ and they did a great job! I bet all levels were enjoyable
1st time viewer. I thought the Food Scientist was going to taste each of them & tell us her favorite. Enjoyable to watch!
me not fully paying attention "did he say Puerto Rican? maybe i misheard?" Daniel- pulls out the Cafe Bustelo. " Oh. no thats a puerto rican for sure"
Jurgen is absolutely great, I usually only ever like the Level 3 chef if it's Chef Frank, but Jurgen is such a fun dude too
Where can I find Daniel? Instant fan!!
more chef jurgen please!
Level 3 chef was awesome unlike the others before 💖💖💖
Yo I'm glad Chef Jurgen is teaching, cause you can tell he has a passion for his art and describes the process and the reasoning beautifully. at least in this video. very interesting!
Tiramisu without mascarpone, I’m crying 😭
Chef Jürgen: "I'm special; you're special."
That was my pick me up of the day😂
I have to admit, I didn't have much faith in me, but I can see Desi improving and that's great! I found his energy in first 2-3 episodes quite offputting in the beginning (mostly because he was taking every shortcut humanly possible as if he should be lvl 0 not lvl 1 and was giving an impression of overly inflated ego) but it's nice to see him come around more and more with each episode.
Thank you!!! And i respect your patience with me.. and sorry if it comes off as an ego.. i promise it’s not. I’m the cool uncle.. i love everybody.. thank you!! 4real
This has been Desi’s most involved recipe to date.
To me, it just came across as your first foray into really cooking. You've grown so much on this channel and I am proud of you for sticking it out!@@DesiJohnson24
3 versions yet not one was traditional.
Wow all three brought in something unique and made it their own
When Desi took that shot 😂😂😂
Literally me while watching the whole video : *itallian hand sign*
Tiramisu isn't supposed to be complicated, so stop making it complicated
Beautiful chef Thank you so much
Level 3 chefs are always over the top to me
Level 1 and 3 are pure charisma ❤
Summer tip, maybe youtube will hate me, but add slices of fresh strawberries in between de layers and instead of cocao powder, add strawberries ontop. I swear, tiramisu wil taste like summer. 🍓❤🍓❤️
This topic needs more attention.
Level 2 : The recipe I would make.
Level 3: The recipe I would rather eat.
Lol, these 3 are gold
I wanna eat Daniel’s because he looks delicious
He definitely looks delicious 😂😂😂
@@maisnehayaar LMFAOOOOO
I second this 😂
do you mean Daniel or the Tiramisu? lol
@@Zedd... Both lmao
It's incredible that out of 3 chefs noone of them did it correctly. There's no cream in tiramisu, only mascarpone, eggs, coffee, sugar, savoiardi and cocoa. You don't warm up anything you just beat the eggs separately, there's no gelatine.
Level 3 Chef seems like a cool teacher🙌🙌
13:56 The subtitles wrote pyrolysis as paralysis and I was so confused 😂
Level 2 has such a tv personality
I LOOOVE Jurgen so much omg
Love the level 2 tiramisu.
i love how i instantly know that jürgen is german because of his jokes
daniel keeps getting hotter omg 😩
What a time, I want to try them all
Noooooooooooo i want Chef Saul or Chef Frank and loranzo ,some time (Emily) toooooooo ..
Was eagerly waiting for them
I'm glad they're letting Desi cook and not interrupting him
I'll have the level 2 chef for my desert, thank you!
I want to try all three!!!
