I’ve only just discovered your videos and am really impressed with your culinary and linguistic skills. You cook with honesty and a simplicity that enables the ingredients to speak for themselves. Your techniques like searing and reducing also reflect your skills. You really bring the recipes to life. My first effort will be Poulet au Pot. The main issue will be sourcing salt pork/slab bacon. Thank you..
another great work, maestro. the shot at dusk with a glass of wine was divine, as was the shot of decanting that sauce onto the meat. you only get one chance with something like that! so many shots of 1-2 seconds go by in a flash, and my mind whirls imaginging the set up that would be required, many others would figure it is not worth the trouble. that is the difference between your channel and many others. i look forward to the next one my friend. cheers from chicago.
Excellent location. Beautiful sauce. I’d absolutely pay for that at a restaurant. Those butchers really know their stuff. You should make a video of the butchers explaining the different local meats, and their favorite recipes.
Great technique! Madame E.Saint - Ange would be proud. I have the book and you are inspiring me to read it again and even cook out of it. Thank you Pete.
@@Petespans I await to be pleasantly surprised! Spain, with all it's beauties, has taken the bulk of your ventures! Though lovely and so so original, Central France would be a nice expansion. Love the channel and it's truth.
WoW Chef another incredible video you have such an amazing life and the best food always made with fine quality ingredients and brilliantly executed. I keep an eye out in my locale supermarkets for wild Bore and such but they all seem to sell the same old low quality rubbish... so sadly the only time i have encountered wild bore was when one ran out in front of my friends Ford XR2 and wrote it off.
Never knew you could cook pig to anything less than well-done. Here in North America I learned that the pigs are fed a considerable amount of plastic pellets so I avoid it all together when possible. Does the pig / boar have to be wild and/or organic for this sort of cooking?? Thanks Pete. Great channel; found it by complete accident when looking for how to make duck.
Great to have you here! Sometimes I have to admit that I don't know all the technicalities. I have heard that basic pork, beef etc is not well raised in U.S but don't quote me! I also believe that high quality meets can be sourced... but at what price, no idea. If anything, this is why I try to champion local produce and procedures, whilst they still exist!
If I was on death row & I was given a choice for my last meal. Steak au Poivre it would be - with a bottle of Red! I can hear the guards laughing at me.
@@Petespans Funny thing is I told her a woman I worked with that & asked her what she would choose & she thought deeply then said - A Greek Salad! I told her this is your last meal - you don't have to eat healthy!
@@Petespans Your vids are getting better & better... keep them coming... as a side note I love the French Green Peppercorns in a tin mixed with Dijon Mustard - easy way to boost mustard for a steak.
@@dojufitz Bless you for your continued support! May I ask...? What aspect do you feel has improved? Sometime a great location helps, but that's not always possible. So grateful for any feedback.
For a more stark contrast - you should include in your experiment some of the inhumanely raised and hormone filled pork we routinely get sold here in the States. (just kidding)
Here in the USA Berkshire and Duroc are available at good butcher's or online. Not cheap but I am convinced neither is Iberico pork in all its grades in Spain. As far as supermarket /commodity pork goes I think it is a reliable low cost protein for everyday family meals.
I am pretty shure tossing any sort and amount of fat or oil even if "natural" in a fresh water reservoir or directly on soil is a crime in spain and the EU.

So kind of you to post these encouraging comments! At last! Someone who realises what goes into these videos :)
This is amazing !! real cooking

What a great idea!
I have never had boar, but i do love all your pork recipes. And nice to see a great sauce
Can't say I'd ever had it before either :)
Thanks for your interest and continued support!
Marvelous. Bon Appétit... Pete.
I'd love to see you cooking some of your receipts over an open fire!
Great idea!!
I would eat either of these happily 😊 ❤ (given that you have the best pork)
Yes, important to source and sauce quality pork ...
@@Petespans 😂
Great technique! Madame E.Saint - Ange would be proud. I have the book and you are inspiring me to read it again and even cook out of it. Thank you Pete.
wow. I think it was Elisabeth David that first mentioned that book.
Exquisite job Sir!
Would you indulge us to a definitive Steak a Cafe de Paris recipe?
The one with butter? What a good idea. Feel I should do it in Pariiiiis though. Watch this space :)

Yeah, boar won't be found at the supermarket. I had to go to a game specialist.
Thanks for your encouraging comments :)
Great sauce. Would fit in any quality restaurant.

You won't like trichnosis
As you added fuel to your fire; Wood Mark Eight… as someone has said previously; a chef & a linguist. but please let me add; comedian.

What a thought!
