    When I was 14 I passed my Cookery O level exam including a strawberry gateau cake. Ever since then I have always made myself a strawberry gateau cake for my birthday but this is something else! It took me two days to make and I can feel a heart attack coming on! I'll blame you John! :)

    Oh, John, that was wonderful seeing the people you shared this delish cake with! A personal touch much appreciated. Very humoristic too! I'll definitely try this cake. You definitely know how to simplify even the most intimidating looking recipes into something someone like me (having 2 left thumbs) would want to try.

    Hi John. I made this Gateau for my wife's birthday today. Your demonstration made it so easy to follow and the end result....Out of this world. Everyone commented on how delicious it was. it's all down to your recipe. A big thanks John.

      @@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Hi John. It would've all the more difficult if the recipe was just from a book (not impossible though) but the video made it so easy as it's broken down in simple to follow stages as with all your recipes. Thanks again for the video, the cake made a special day all the more so. Graham.

    I've just made it a second time with great results. This time it only took one day to make, for my daughters birthday with gluten free flour, which worked fine. Tip: if the mousse is too soft and runny put it in the fridge for 5 minutes, if it is too hard to spread microwave it for 20 seconds. Thank you again for your superb recipes John, as others have said, they are somewhat superior to the flash bang stuff you see on the telly.

    This moose (or chocolate filling, I can't remember what it's called) is absolutely delicious. I made a vat of it (the recipe makes a lot), and, he's right, it makes a great dessert. It's rich enough that you don't need much of it before you're satisfied, so it'll probably take over a month to finish alone but... it's definitely worth it, and pretty easy (I was able to make it taste great first try, and I know almost nothing about baking).
    Note: I didn't have dark chocolate, so I just used Ghiradelli semisweet morsels, and they worked just fine, though a tiny bit sweeter than I think was intended. Also, when I poured the water into the saucepan to heat the sugar, it didn't even cover the whole bottom, so I was a bit worried that I mismeasured somehow, but the sugar made everything fill out perfectly and the sugar boiled just fine, if anyone else had a similar problem.

    Made this yesterday John,didn't have the time to make as a gateau so mixed up a chocolate orange and cream filling and spread that in the middle rather thick as i expected the sponge to be a little dry with being for a gateau and containing no oil or butter.Then gave it a chocolate top.Did it work? well i guess the empty plate today suggests it did.

    hello, i finally made this cake for work... i ended up doubling the cake recipe replacing the granulated sugar with castor... and used 90% dark (because i like it lol) for the mousse, anyway, short story is - this is delicious! so i was told by staff and a couple thought the cake was bought today. i used a hand mixer... i am more inclined to get a bench top mixer for the next one. thank you from new zealand for the informative video and recipe. my aunt is chuffed to have another choc. mousse recipe - if she had it her way she would have eaten the whole bowl by herself.

    Hi John, I just subscribed after watching 3 of your videos😇😍. You are obviously experienced baker and is kindhearted to show and impart your knowledge and skills to others which is very kind of you❤️. My gratitude 🙏. God bless you and your family ❤️ 🙏. Your vid is very knowledgeable and descriptive. The viewers like me as new learner will not get lost 🤣, means, your vid is easy to follow and especially you kindly put the ingredients on the screen which is very important. Could you please share the brand of your chocolate powder and the cocoa powder pls🙏🙏🙏. By the way, my first bake was just done yesterday with my 10-yr-old son, a Chocolate swiss roll, the whole family has enjoyed it. Some of it is still in the fridge for today . I am sure after few practice I can bake my family in the Philippines when going for a holiday. Buying desserts is expensive, own bake is joy, healthier and affordable 😄Thank you very much Jonh🙏❤️.

I do know a lady here in Vegas that is a professional cake maker that I'll share this with. She makes cakes for a lot of the big shot celebrities that come to town.

    The irony is, that you probably have no idea what it's like listening to your softly spoken North Eastern accent, explaining things every step of the way.
    There's one thing I disagree with and that's that you are 'retired'... clearly not since you're still doing it on RUclips (albeit now for free). Old cooks never retire, they just find different ways of practising their skills.
    Well done, Sir, and please keep up the good work.
