Full video, plus rest of lectures series can be found here: chefjacobburton.gumroad.com/l/wmClU. Full video course includes bonus recipes and written curriculum. Thanks for watching!
Honestly if teaching doesn't work out for me I will become a chef. I been cooking since I was a kid its my natural born talent. I don't have any formal training but I have took a food science course during high school at a college level to learn more about food. My professor was impressed I knew how to use the oven and stove easily. If I can't be a teacher I will be a chef
I've been cooking for 6 months and all I've been looking for was someone who teaches me how to create a dish instead of replicate one without understanding the fundamental flavour combinations and techniques. I've been smiling all throughout the video because this is exactly it
Another channel to recommend for similar bottom-up instruction is Ethan Chlebowski. One of his videos gave me the confidence to try something somewhat out of my comfort zone, and crushing it the first time because I understood rather than imitated was an amazing feeling.
I think i have watched literally thousands of hours of culinary instruction (which are all basically the same "cook this way"), THIS Video in your lecture series has been one of the BEST which I have ever seen. Actually explaining, not only the how, But why. One the most informative, thank you
When a guy starts a culinary lecture with a story about how a single food item changed his life, you know they take their craft with a seriousness others can only dream about. Great videos, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge in such a precise way.
Possibly the most informative / best cooking video on the internet. This was everything I was looking for, thank you so much for your hard work in making this.
This video was a breath of fresh air... 1. Learnt about flavour. 2. The 5 flours: salt, sour, sweet, bitter and umani/savory. 3. Learnt A LOT about salt.
@Ryze Shotty i dont know.. it depends on your country and the culinary school u wanna get in. Culinary school im in rn is with a bachelor's degree so, u need to finish senior high first
If a flavoring does not dissolve in your saliva, you can't taste it. You might smell it, but you won't be able to taste it. Acids help to "break" the flavors out of oils/fats by making a water soluble compound from things that might otherwise stay in the oil.
I am new at cooking. I tried it during my teenage years (I'm now 25) and gave up because I thought I "naturally" sucked. I've watched this 3 times since late December and have been implementing what you've been teaching in this series. Suddenly, my cooking is starting to taste better. THANK YOU.
Chef in my opinion the best part of this amazing course is when you said (and thank you for saying it) Pepper does not need to go in every dish. At that point I sat back and said YES I AM NOT CRAZY.
imagine carrying about what others think to the point that u need stop a video like that and say YES IM NOT CRAZY lmao like who cares even if u don’t like pepper in ANY dish, is YOUR cooking and YOUR mouth, u would really use stuff only because other use it? 🤡That’s why this planet looks like it looks like omfg 🤦♂️
Ive been thinking about quitting medical school and going to culinary, now this has really opened my eyes to what i really love! Thanks for making this video im very grateful!! This is very informative and educational and i love that there are students present that ask questions i would ask myself! This series deserves a gold medal!
Try yourself in a kitchen first, before committing yourself to culinary school. First be a server In upscale restaurant for two years at least, to understand clients palate better, and server position. To learn how to present food in attractive manner from different cooks. You can move on very fast up the ladder in culinary world without any degree or diploma. It depends how fast you are, if you are leader and if you can get along with others well.
Lol, you ready to make 10% of what you would earn? No healthcare, no retirement, work on weekends and holidays, scrub the floor every night, get yelled at, surrounded by sexist jokes, all the cooks with no education but more experience higher than you in the hierarchy? Go for it!
Wow this was incredibly informative! As someone who is relatively new to cooking but has always been interested in the science aspect of food, this video is just what I was looking for. In depth resources like this are hard to come by, especially one without a hefty price tag next to it. I can’t wait to take my new learned knowledge to the kitchen. Thank you Jacob, I can’t wait to watch more videos on your channel.
Thanks Meg, glad you enjoyed this video. I've also released the next two lectures in this series, S is for Sauce and T is for Technique. You can find them when you search by title. All the best.
@@JacobBurton Why is 'CREAMY' not one of the basic flavours since I can't replace it with any of the other 5? And what about 'eggy' i.e. that sulphur flavour in 'Kala namak salt' or is that listed under umami? What about 'SPICY' I definitely can't yet see how that sits as a subset of any of the 5 thereby meaning we potentially have 7 or 8 or even more to consider what about 'herby' i.e. aromatic or is that somewhere under bitter, what about 'earthy' or 'funky' like certain fermented fish and protein foods. Some of the last ones might be reaches but I am sure spicy isn't represented unless you'd say something like spice is extreme tang, but it isn't though is it, that's a different flavour and feeling. Let me know thanks
@@anawesomejourney1198it depends on where you look. I think the Japanese even have minty as a flavor. I mean they discovered umami so I'd research the Japanese interpretation of flavor if you're that interested
@@NinjaMonkey088 wow I never thought of minty that's soo true !! Like the menthol cold tongue sensation/flavour. But then why do they so authoritatively say we have 5 flavours. It's like saying we have 5 senses and then me reading somewhere else or from someone like yourself on RUclips that we actually have 20.
You are amazing! I am currently in culinary school and felt like I hit the threshold of what they were teaching me. Your videos are exactly what I needed in my life rn❤💕
Absolutely perfect for learning about flavor, even for non-cooks! I've been looking for an introductory course to explain tasting components and how it interacts with the palate, and this was top notch! Thank you so much for showing me Stella's crash course offerings!
Thank you for these videos. My fiancee just graduated nursing school, now I am a stay at home dad to who has a love for food (the art, science and craft) of good meals. With aspirations to get into culinary school and I took so many notes just from this 1st day video once again Thank you.
I need your videos more than ever now!! I worked in kitchen 10 years, I was not taught much, I almost got killed in December, guy ran a red light i didn't see him coming ,but I was partying too much, now I'm try to be the best I can be
Content and delivery pitched perfect for me. It's about knowing WHY you do things at every juncture. Brilliant. I'm heading over to the podcasts now...
Wow! I have been married for 15 years and have 3 kids. I cook almost every single night, and despite all that practice my food is Eh at best. I too have used recipe after recipe but still it’s just blah… I had NO IDEA you could understand food like this! I loved this video and I’ll be watching the others in the boot camp series. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for posting this! It’s hard to get your kids to love to sit at the table with good quality food when it doesn’t taste good. This video is incredibly informative and I appreciate it so much!!
I love cooking I love the layers of it. I love the science behind it. And I love how a good dish can make someone’s day better. I wanna get into the field. And I didn’t know where to start with just home cook skills and I feel like this is a great start thank you
As a programmer who has never cooked much due to frustration with recipes being wrote learning. This series changed everything for me. Thank you, you're a boss.
This is the greatest kind of boot-camp there is. I looked up 'cooking foundations' and skipped all the recipes and knife-skill garbage you'll find, to find a gem like this on youtube of all places. Incredible hook, too, because oh hell yeah I would love to buy the rest of these videos. I will stay-tuned for a discount of sorts 👀Your teachings cuts into the soul of creativity in cooking and yes I loved alton brown growing up and somehow people are comparing his style of educating to yours. Idk, big credit to you for packaging this set of videos so nicely and everything about your channel just screams 'effective teacher' all around so I will focus on re-wiring my brain to break down everything I cook like this from this day forth.
Thank you so much for this series. For the "home chef" such as myself, this is going to allow me to understand how and why to be able to take my meals to the next level.
This is INCREDIBLE. So exciting to learn about all of this. I'm a complete beginner and am blown away by the possibilities opening up watching this video. Can't wait to get into the kitchen. Thank you
I’m a firefighter and everyone loves my cooking at station…all because one day a couple years ago I came across this video and when people asked me where I learned how to cook (my Mexican mom and aunts also taught me) I refer to this video. Thank you!
My first time on your platform 😊 watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 very insightful and interesting information on food 😊even though this video is old , it's a masterpiece of learning ❤
I was spending hours searching for explanations on different tastes in cooking and not being very satisfied with what I found. Then I found this. I am not quite through the whole video yet, but this is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. I can't wait to view more of your videos.
"Alright that's it for flavor, let's go to the kitchen and cook" is HILARIOUS. I'm an aspiring chef & soon-to-be student taking your crash course from home until the minimester starts. This is keeping me inspired! Thank you for all the information and technique!
This is the most fascinating educational video I have watched I have never understood flavours or more how to balance them thank you for this video really enjoyed watching it you made it so easy to understand!, looking forward to watching more. Thanks again from the other side of the pond 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I just released the second video in the series, S is for Sauce, and will be releasing the final three over the next three weeks.

Thank you so much for this content, I’m tired to learn from “15 cooking hacks in 3 seconds” videos, this is what i needed 😭
Thank you for the time teaching and educating. I love to cook. One of the most important things is that I and 10 years colon cancer free. I have had to where the ileostomy pouch for a while and have no colon and only 2 foot of my small intestine. I love to cook and I don’t eat much of other pe food or eat o since I pay the pr for a wee or longer. I have become a very good cook by watching Gordon Ramsay, and other cooking shows over the past five years. But I wanted to become more educated in the culinary. Why foods have specific reasons for things, and you make the absolute best video for me to understand everything about cooking. I’ve seen the master chef, and I never understood what savory acids Salt all the other things I’ve watched, but never understood it and you are amazing. I do most of the cooking for my family now because they know with my intestinal issues and they’ve got to the point that they prefer not to cook. I love cooking and I become the master chef in my family. But I want to become better.
This is really pretty awesome~ As an Engineer by trade I dont have the time to go to culinary training physically. Thank you a ton for this information. Cheers!
I wish you were on you tube when I went through culinary. I'M DYSLEXIC and all that I read just left my memory. I can rewind and watch you over and over again. Mahalo nui!!!
Jacob, thank you! I'm so glad I found your channel! You have a wonderful way of teaching what have always been "secrets" of cooking to me. I have been cooking for my family (and many large family gatherings) for 40 years. You have improved my skills immensely in just a couple of 40-minute videos! I have ordered your digital book, and will thoroughly enjoy studying it and applying what I learn.
Chef you have just reignited my passion for culinary arts ..I stopped going to culinary school because I was convinced that I could wing it..if I just spent enough time cooking and after 27 years all I became was a great short order cook ..I didn't realize how much actually went into this..I realize I know nothing
Thank.you so much. I feel like I'm flirting with another level of technique and execution but I am lacking in fundamentals. This was great. I will subscribe and keep watching.
Learned so much from this video, my mind was blown several times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Viewers - I highly recommend watching at 1.5x playback speed. No shade at all to the presenter, everyone’s got their own cadence. That’s just my “pinch of salt.” ;)
26 min in and he is still talking about salt. Never knew half of what he is saying about it though so yea next time im in a supermarket im going to be reading some packets :)
I’ve been plant based for two years now and have been making cuisine with meat all my life and am familiar with all that you’re teaching. Been applying umami flavor in my plant based foods and the fat has to come from the oils from seeds and nuts. Like, tahini, coconut fat, walnuts, etc. Then, there’s the Kombu, dehydrated shiitake reconstituted to try to mimic fish sauce without the fish and so on. Its a challenge but it can be done.
Wow! I wish I had discovered you 12 years ago when it looks like you first started posting videos! I LOVELOVELOVE the technical knowledge that you are laying out there for us! I love to cook & create dishes at home! I remember years ago starting out with a Better Homes & Gardens & Rachael Ray, Emeril, Tyler Florence & Mario Batali on Food Network. If you watched closely & payed close attention, you might learn the techniques & ingredients they weren’t actually saying! There were tips & tricks that it took me years to catch on to by doing the actual cooking! I would have sincerely loved to have learned from someone like you who seems absolutely dedicated to teaching people to cook better, whether they are a chef, line cook or a home cook! I appreciate you taking your time to do this! I’m SSSOOOO glad I discovered your page tonight!!! 💗💗💗 Thank You!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've been living on takeaways since forever and have been cooking now for 9 days as part of a life change. I've just finished watching this and am very excited to learn more!
I've been following Jacob esp. for his Pizza recipes- but this, sir! This deserves a salute. So happy to learn sitting at home- I mean this is what i always wanted- explanation of why am i putting some vinegar or salt in my sweet items- i do, but without knowing the proper reasons behind it.. :) And thanks to you! I do now. Definitely, not probably, the best and most informative video i've seen in a long time.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I just released the S is for Sauce lecture at the beginning of last week, and I will be releasing the technique video lecture next week.
Sir, I thank you truely from my inner heart, because this was one of the best lectures I ever took :) Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge with the world!
20 minutes of discussion on salt. This is absolute boot camp. Fantastic insight into the building blocks of cooking. Maldon SeaSalt is the best in my experience..
Thank you for this! New cook been working on the line for a year now and culinary school is my next step after more expirience is gained in the kitchen I LOVE working in the food industry and these videos are going to help me so much in the future!
Dennis O awesome. Welcome to the SC Community. Part 2 of this video will be released on Tuesday morning, and it’s all about sauces. You may also want to check out The Stella Culinary School Podcast as well, which is a free audio resource that takes deep dives into the technique and science behind cooking. You can check out past episodes here: stellaculinary.com/scs
"Tools to troubleshoot" is exactly what I need! I don't aspire to be a professional cook, but am simply trying to learn how to cook for my family. I love my mother and sister dearly, but they should be banned from the kitchen!! 😭 The most important thing, which many resources I've used to teach myself don't include, is the knowledge to troubleshoot when things go wrong. It's difficult to improve when I don't understand how to identify and correct my mistakes. This series has been so valuable! Thank you!!
You're genius and funny! +knows how to cook! Best combo...great lesson man. If this video lasted for 5 hours I would watch it, that's how much concentrated I was on you! Thank you. 😊
Thank you for this refresher course!!! I learned a lot of this information 6-7 years ago in my Culinary Arts Course at Laney Peralta Community College in Oakland, CA!
Thank you chef for bringing the Culinary class to us. This class reminds me a lot of my days in the Culinary school here in the Canary Island .Reminds me of our tutor Chef Phillippe N Strauss Keep teaching Chef
Holy moley this is SPOT ON!! I actually may borrow so of your tips to teach our students!! Seriously making me rethink the way we present to our students!!
Thanks so much for making these available. Culinary school probably isn't the right fit for me, but I really want to become a better cook and this is an incredible start.
Kosher salt is best to season meat Iodide salt is good for soup and pasta Use vinager in foods Cooking vinagers: rice wine, champagne, balsamic Finishing vinagers: moscato, 20 yr balsamic, aged sherry Small amounts of citrus in sweet stuff
Well, firstly, pink sand, whatever that is, salt, is not the same as pink Himalayan rock salt. Himalayan actually is very useful and beneficial it doesnt just "look cool and pretty" it has an abundance of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. You add it to water to drink for working out instead of crap gaterade to rehydrate.
Also, black salt exists, and isnt black, its light pink, and because it being high in sulfur mimics the flavor of eggs for those who want to add an eggy taste without eggs.
Also, multivitamins have added fillers preservatives and crap that give you cancer or health problems. This guy knows nothing about the nutrition side of fucking food. I mean look at him.
I fired up my cast iron and oven (gas) tonight after work and prepped my sweet onions, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, chuck steak and asparagus. Added seasalt, aroma seasonings, olive oil, pepper and squeezed lime juice to asparagus. Then added too much butter to each pan (drinking too much lol) sautéing the ginger, then onion, then garlic while failing to sear my steaks in the other pan with too much butter after having let them sit seasoned for 2 hours on a plate. After steaks were cooked 4 minutes each side I put them on a plate, poured the juices in the other skillet and turned the heat up really high put steaks back on to quickly sear then taking them off quickly. I poured all the contents of the other skillet where the steaks were then added the mushrooms turning down the heat to low. I watched the first 10 minutes of this video at 06:00 today and adapted on the fly understanding my flavors, temps and timing and my screw up became one of my families most loved meal I've made. Thank you.
Such an informative video! Damn! Thanks, Chef! Im am currently attending a culinary academy and I'm so glad I found this channel 😍 Please post more videos 🙏🏻 I actually learned a lot from this and enjoyed every minute of the video!
most, if not all recipes are useless - because the lack of standardized ingredients. i agree, understand technics and practice to get a feel for it, and have a picture-target of the dish.
I thought i hated cooking, but just a little while ago i realised i hated following recipes. Thanks for your videos J'ai pensé que je détestais cuisiner, mais il y a quelques mois j'ai découvert que mon aversion était pour suivre des recettes, pas pour cuisiner. Merci pour vos vidéos
I just reached 2:25 minutes and I just wana express my frustration around how I think everybody lies about their recipes and how on earth will I ever advance I was so upset last night 😩, which is what led me to this video. Interesting intro
Full video, plus rest of lectures series can be found here: chefjacobburton.gumroad.com/l/wmClU. Full video course includes bonus recipes and written curriculum.
Thanks for watching!
you are amazing man. thnx

Thanks i would love to take these skills home with me.you bring joy to the world.bring the world to north and south America.
Jacob Burton thanks for your time; GRRAT info. Appreciated!
Would you be interested to try (for free) salt from a Greek island's salt lake? I would love to hear your opinion!
I've been cooking for 6 months and all I've been looking for was someone who teaches me how to create a dish instead of replicate one without understanding the fundamental flavour combinations and techniques. I've been smiling all throughout the video because this is exactly it

3. Learnt A LOT about salt.
Decided to go-to culinary school after watching this I'm so hooked I'm obsessed actually
My PLAN 💪
Currently in culinary school... he also makes me want to try chemical engineering after it hahahah
@Ryze Shotty i dont know.. it depends on your country and the culinary school u wanna get in. Culinary school im in rn is with a bachelor's degree so, u need to finish senior high first
Ryze Shotty Yes Culinary arts Is after you finish High School, as you need a High School Diploma .
Bring the world to north America and south America.
If a flavoring does not dissolve in your saliva, you can't taste it. You might smell it, but you won't be able to taste it.
Acids help to "break" the flavors out of oils/fats by making a water soluble compound from things that might otherwise stay in the oil.
Thank you very much for that explanation!

going to an actual culinary school is expensive so I learn through RUclips instead, so this is useful and informative, Thank you Chef !
"Alright that's it for flavor, let's go to the kitchen and cook" is HILARIOUS. I'm an aspiring chef & soon-to-be student taking your crash course from home until the minimester starts. This is keeping me inspired! Thank you for all the information and technique!
This is the most fascinating educational video I have watched I have never understood flavours or more how to balance them thank you for this video really enjoyed watching it you made it so easy to understand!, looking forward to watching more. Thanks again from the other side of the pond 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I just released the second video in the series, S is for Sauce, and will be releasing the final three over the next three weeks.
Thank you so much for this content, I’m tired to learn from “15 cooking hacks in 3 seconds” videos, this is what i needed 😭
This is incredible. I don't know of any other information source that covers this topic in any detail; let alone the detail in these videos.

Thank you for the time teaching and educating. I love to cook. One of the most important things is that I and 10 years colon cancer free. I have had to where the ileostomy pouch for a while and have no colon and only 2 foot of my small intestine. I love to cook and I don’t eat much of other pe food or eat o since I pay the pr for a wee or longer. I have become a very good cook by watching Gordon Ramsay, and other cooking shows over the past five years. But I wanted to become more educated in the culinary. Why foods have specific reasons for things, and you make the absolute best video for me to understand everything about cooking. I’ve seen the master chef, and I never understood what savory acids Salt all the other things I’ve watched, but never understood it and you are amazing. I do most of the cooking for my family now because they know with my intestinal issues and they’ve got to the point that they prefer not to cook. I love cooking and I become the master chef in my family. But I want to become better.
This is really pretty awesome~ As an Engineer by trade I dont have the time to go to culinary training physically. Thank you a ton for this information. Cheers!
How do you know someone's an engineer? hah...
I'm a vegetarian
As a fellow engineer, at about 6:00, I thought, “no, you don’t have ‘nothing’. You actually have twenty.” (10+10)x1. Lol.
I’ve been cooking since 2020, currently in college and majoring in culinary 🥰 loving this video so far! Reminds me of my own class.
"Because the hippies go ahold of it" that was incredible.
The rest of the lecture though is awesome for someone like me, an at home cook.
I wish you were on you tube when I went through culinary. I'M DYSLEXIC and all that I read just left my memory.
I can rewind and watch you over and over again.
Mahalo nui!!!
Jacob, thank you! I'm so glad I found your channel! You have a wonderful way of teaching what have always been "secrets" of cooking to me. I have been cooking for my family (and many large family gatherings) for 40 years. You have improved my skills immensely in just a couple of 40-minute videos! I have ordered your digital book, and will thoroughly enjoy studying it and applying what I learn.
I just found the most proffesional youtube cooking chanell. I really doubt there is one that is better. Thank you for your job!
What a fantastic lecture. Great delivery, exceptionally well researched and there's nifty timestamps in the description.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm 10 minutes in and he has blown my mind
Impressive. This is high caliber instruction! Honestly, thank you for sharing!
This series is going to change my life. Thank you
@Jacob Burton What a great well-spoken video clear and concise.
I know it's an old video
New subscriber,
cheers from Canada
Chef you have just reignited my passion for culinary arts ..I stopped going to culinary school because I was convinced that I could wing it..if I just spent enough time cooking and after 27 years all I became was a great short order cook ..I didn't realize how much actually went into this..I realize I know nothing
You’re the most recent comment i found! I literally just started culinary school and now i don’t want to do it anymore, it seems so hard
Thank.you so much. I feel like I'm flirting with another level of technique and execution but I am lacking in fundamentals. This was great. I will subscribe and keep watching.
Glutamic acid->umami. Stabilized with salt. Monosodium glutamate.
Fish sauce is brilliant.
Learned so much from this video, my mind was blown several times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Viewers - I highly recommend watching at 1.5x playback speed. No shade at all to the presenter, everyone’s got their own cadence. That’s just my “pinch of salt.” ;)
Yes, I truly appreciate the effort to educate novice cooks to become more experts in culinary art! Thank you Sir !
26 min in and he is still talking about salt. Never knew half of what he is saying about it though so yea next time im in a supermarket im going to be reading some packets :)
I’ve been plant based for two years now and have been making cuisine with meat all my life and am familiar with all that you’re teaching. Been applying umami flavor in my plant based foods and the fat has to come from the oils from seeds and nuts. Like, tahini, coconut fat, walnuts, etc. Then, there’s the Kombu, dehydrated shiitake reconstituted to try to mimic fish sauce without the fish and so on. Its a challenge but it can be done.
Wow! I wish I had discovered you 12 years ago when it looks like you first started posting videos! I LOVELOVELOVE the technical knowledge that you are laying out there for us! I love to cook & create dishes at home! I remember years ago starting out with a Better Homes & Gardens & Rachael Ray, Emeril, Tyler Florence & Mario Batali on Food Network. If you watched closely & payed close attention, you might learn the techniques & ingredients they weren’t actually saying! There were tips & tricks that it took me years to catch on to by doing the actual cooking! I would have sincerely loved to have learned from someone like you who seems absolutely dedicated to teaching people to cook better, whether they are a chef, line cook or a home cook! I appreciate you taking your time to do this! I’m SSSOOOO glad I discovered your page tonight!!! 💗💗💗 Thank You!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks. I have an updated version of the boot camp coming out soon as well.
I've been living on takeaways since forever and have been cooking now for 9 days as part of a life change. I've just finished watching this and am very excited to learn more!
Awesome. You can get the full course by following the link underneath the video. You can e-mail me if you have any questions. All the best.
Did you ever get the macaroons to turn out good???
Asking the real question!
I've been following Jacob esp. for his Pizza recipes- but this, sir! This deserves a salute. So happy to learn sitting at home- I mean this is what i always wanted- explanation of why am i putting some vinegar or salt in my sweet items- i do, but without knowing the proper reasons behind it.. :) And thanks to you! I do now. Definitely, not probably, the best and most informative video i've seen in a long time.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I just released the S is for Sauce lecture at the beginning of last week, and I will be releasing the technique video lecture next week.
Keep making videos Chef Jacob. You are helping many of us line cooks step it up to another level. Thank you .
Sir, I thank you truely from my inner heart, because this was one of the best lectures I ever took :)
Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge with the world!
20 minutes of discussion on salt. This is absolute boot camp. Fantastic insight into the building blocks of cooking. Maldon SeaSalt is the best in my experience..
Thank you for this! New cook been working on the line for a year now and culinary school is my next step after more expirience is gained in the kitchen I LOVE working in the food industry and these videos are going to help me so much in the future!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.
“Flipping food in a pan” brought me here and I’m so glad. I’m just a home cook. You are awesome! Learning so much. Thank you.
Just found this channel today and will definitely check out the rest of the videos. This one was very informative, thanks for uploading!
Dennis O awesome. Welcome to the SC Community. Part 2 of this video will be released on Tuesday morning, and it’s all about sauces. You may also want to check out The Stella Culinary School Podcast as well, which is a free audio resource that takes deep dives into the technique and science behind cooking. You can check out past episodes here: stellaculinary.com/scs
Will check out the podcast and the next video for sure, thanks!
"Tools to troubleshoot" is exactly what I need! I don't aspire to be a professional cook, but am simply trying to learn how to cook for my family. I love my mother and sister dearly, but they should be banned from the kitchen!! 😭
The most important thing, which many resources I've used to teach myself don't include, is the knowledge to troubleshoot when things go wrong. It's difficult to improve when I don't understand how to identify and correct my mistakes.
This series has been so valuable! Thank you!!
Thank you chef, I am cook in hotel, but nobody explains anything to us . Really thankful you are a great professional.
Indeed i never watched this kind of explanation of hospitality about food he elaborate everything tunge taste food.
This was such a great lesson! It is so informative but the information is presented in such a great way where I want to learn more! Thank you
You're genius and funny! +knows how to cook! Best combo...great lesson man. If this video lasted for 5 hours I would watch it, that's how much concentrated I was on you! Thank you. 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Please watch the rest of the series. ruclips.net/p/PLpkj3Cc40ZCoMAoVI9OkjzMpj0PZkq5zL
All the best.
Thank you for this refresher course!!! I
learned a lot of this information 6-7 years ago in my Culinary Arts Course at Laney Peralta Community College in Oakland, CA!
Thank you chef for bringing the Culinary class to us.
This class reminds me a lot of my days in the Culinary school
here in the Canary Island .Reminds me of our tutor Chef Phillippe N Strauss
Keep teaching Chef
as someone that is planning to go to culinary school. these videos are very helpful. thank you for sharing.
Holy moley this is SPOT ON!! I actually may borrow so of your tips to teach our students!! Seriously making me rethink the way we present to our students!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is totally interesting. Thank you for being such a thorough instructor.
Thanks so much for making these available. Culinary school probably isn't the right fit for me, but I really want to become a better cook and this is an incredible start.
Oh wow. Never looked at it this way. Fantastic.
Kosher salt is best to season meat
Iodide salt is good for soup and pasta
Use vinager in foods
Cooking vinagers: rice wine, champagne, balsamic
Finishing vinagers: moscato, 20 yr balsamic, aged sherry
Small amounts of citrus in sweet stuff
So happy I found this series. So interesting!
When he started making fun of the pink-salt people I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Well, firstly, pink sand, whatever that is, salt, is not the same as pink Himalayan rock salt. Himalayan actually is very useful and beneficial it doesnt just "look cool and pretty" it has an abundance of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. You add it to water to drink for working out instead of crap gaterade to rehydrate.
Also, black salt exists, and isnt black, its light pink, and because it being high in sulfur mimics the flavor of eggs for those who want to add an eggy taste without eggs.
Also, multivitamins have added fillers preservatives and crap that give you cancer or health problems. This guy knows nothing about the nutrition side of fucking food. I mean look at him.
You're really gonna drag someone else's body in a public forum and are three angry comments deep over SALT. Okay 👋
This is incredible. Packed with information. I'm going to have to watch several times.
Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you're enjoying it!
I'm gonna watch all these videos- this is what I've been searching for and exactly what I need.
This one video has my mind exploding with new paths as a simple home chef..thank you so much...
Your classes are great during the pandemic. My wife and I were going to sign up for online classes but we found you. Thanks!
Sooo.. AMAZING...My passion for cooking has just ignited🔥
The giant post it notes are GENIUS
I fired up my cast iron and oven (gas) tonight after work and prepped my sweet onions, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, chuck steak and asparagus.
Added seasalt, aroma seasonings, olive oil, pepper and squeezed lime juice to asparagus.
Then added too much butter to each pan (drinking too much lol) sautéing the ginger, then onion, then garlic while failing to sear my steaks in the other pan with too much butter after having let them sit seasoned for 2 hours on a plate.
After steaks were cooked 4 minutes each side I put them on a plate, poured the juices in the other skillet and turned the heat up really high put steaks back on to quickly sear then taking them off quickly.
I poured all the contents of the other skillet where the steaks were then added the mushrooms turning down the heat to low.
I watched the first 10 minutes of this video at 06:00 today and adapted on the fly understanding my flavors, temps and timing and my screw up became one of my families most loved meal I've made.
Thank you.
Such an informative video! Damn!
Thanks, Chef! Im am currently attending a culinary academy and I'm so glad I found this channel 😍 Please post more videos 🙏🏻 I actually learned a lot from this and enjoyed every minute of the video!
most, if not all recipes are useless - because the lack of standardized ingredients.
i agree, understand technics and practice to get a feel for it, and have a picture-target of the dish.
Great teacher, love this info. I should have studied this. Hate my profession.
I thought i hated cooking, but just a little while ago i realised i hated following recipes. Thanks for your videos
J'ai pensé que je détestais cuisiner, mais il y a quelques mois j'ai découvert que mon aversion était pour suivre des recettes, pas pour cuisiner. Merci pour vos vidéos
I just reached 2:25 minutes and I just wana express my frustration around how I think everybody lies about their recipes and how on earth will I ever advance I was so upset last night 😩, which is what led me to this video. Interesting intro
The best palette lesson I have found so far. Great video! Thanks
I don't know how I ended up here. But I am sure glad I found this video. Now I want to start experimenting in the kitchen hehe.
