Chef, I’m retired too and I love everyone of your videos. I share them with my kids so we can do them together. Looking forward to your meet and great. I will be there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@@ChefJeanPierre I tried to leave a comment but the option was not here. Thank you for the Q&A. I have been working on a plan to submit to you for writing your biography and now you've shared some of your story for free! ❤️ I really wanted to write your life story. Maybe a meet 'n greet will afford the opportunity to discuss it with you. Looking forward to more Q&A with you!
IMO, the reason Chef Jean-Pierre is so beloved by his us his fans is not because of his culinary skill or because of his talent as teacher or his enthusiasm for cooking or even his delightful sense of humor. It is because of his humility. Watching a man of so many talents exude the milk of human kindness in every thing he says and does is uplifting and inspiring. Chef Jean-Pierre doesn't just show us how to become better cooks, he shows us how to become better people. God bless you, chef.
How well stated! Everything is so true! Thank you Chef for sharing all of your knowledge and helping us be better people too! God bless and keep you, Chef!!
Dear Chef JP, your entire YT community knows that you are a great chef and teacher, but what makes you unique is your passion and your sense of humour but most of all: your authenticity. You are making this rough world a bit friendlier. Thank you for that!
What a class act! You are grateful? We're the ones who ought to be grateful! You're offering us 100% professional cooking lessons and changing hundreds of thousands of households across the world with your talent. Thank you, chef 😊
Classic quote: "Retirement gets better every time you do it." That is wisdom my friends! As to your favorite recipes. I am the same with Steak au poivre. That was the very first recipe of yours that I made! Ahh memories. . .
I KNEW you were Italian! No mistake, your joie de vivre reflects your French identity but you have an unmistakable Italian lightness that lifts us all up. 2 1/2 years in internet years? You have just begun. I now know what I will be doing for the next six months: exploring your playlists and expanding my repertoire. Recipes I have lost and would love to rediscover: potage Crecy and a very elusive one: lobster and chicken Catalan. Even Google couldn’t help me with that one. I am so excited to have discovered your channel. I feel like I am starting on a new path. ❤
Almost got teary-eyed listening to the story in the beginning, especially how he talked about his mum and other family members. What a beautiful human being.
Can I echo the comment about making cooking more interesting. As a mum cooking every day gets very monotonous so inspiration is like a breath of fresh air.
The most fascinating thing here is to understand that 50 years ago or so, it wasn’t very easy to get a recipe from a chef. They kept things to themselves. It’s amazing how there are folks like Chef Jean Pierre that love to share his expertise and recipes with us. He is a gem indeed.
One of my fave shows from years ago was "Great Chefs, Great Cities" where you only saw a quick shot of the Chef and the rest was from mostly overhead and side cameras showing the actions and techniques. Learned a lot from those as well.
I honestly feel that this is a channel of real friends, all having fun together and learning along the way under the tutelage of an exceptional chef, and more importantly a very genuine man who loves to share his immense knowledge and enthusiasm, with gentle good humour. Thank you, Chef. May God continue to bless you and your family and friends. Peter A
Its nice to see the chef sit down and take a break. This man is just a unique, kind, funny, giving person. Thank you for blessing us with your presence and kindness chef JP
This channel has brought so many kind and caring people together. I have rarely seen a channel with so much wonderful and sincere comments. I feel you are a beacon for bright souls. Life is hard for everyone, so thank you for giving your public those moments of warmth and happiness. You truly are a light in the darkness!
Chef Jean-Pierre is like the Bob Ross of cooking videos! He makes gourmet cooking accessible to everyone. The first recipe I ever made from this channel was the cherry clafoutis. It was like a gateway drug!!! Chef Jean-Pierre has given me the confidence to go all the way up to his amazing Lobster Thermidor! Thank you, Chef!
I have been watching JP now almost since the start of the channel and I must say this is one of the best videos yet. A genuinely sweet and generous person who has enjoyed life to the fullest and now is content and enthused to share his experiences, freely, in and out of the kitchen with 1.3 million people, most of whom he will never have met - yet he has opened up in a masterful and sincere way. Kudos from Qatar.
CJP,HELLO,due to you there are things I never ever considered cooking,but just how,you show how things are made,I have tackled some of them, all due to CJP,,🇫🇷🇫🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸
Everyone showing their love, support and appreciation for you, Chef - and all of it well deserved. There's nothing more to add from me except thank you and good health, sir.
I am Greek specifically Cypriot and I adore, appreciate and am grateful for your generosity and your humor. May you live long, in good health and with many joyful days ahead. Thank you my friend
You are such a national treasure Chef JP. I absolutely adore you and Jack's videos. If I could ask you to show us how to make pasta from scratch. I think that would be a great video ❤
You know Chef is genuine and has an absolute love for food and teaching. Retired and still spends time teaching us so we can enjoy our meals in our own kitchens. Love the channel. Everyone’s comments are all so positive. What a breath of fresh air. ❤
I just love this channel - feel like Chef Jean-Pierre is talking straight to me and is so humble. Even as a Brit I find his fondness and passion for America is just amazing. Thank you and god bless, Chef!

Chef, thank you for adding some light in my life. I don’t have many positive things going on. So it’s always a joy to have one of your videos to enjoy.
Thank you for this episode. I just retired from 45 years as a commercial painter. I passed my business on to my partner. Now I have even more time to be in the kitchen. Growing up I stood beside my mom learning the basics “ don’t pack the flour, fold it in,etc. chef you truly inspire and show me that I can do these wonderful recipes. I live in alaska and have fresh King Salmon often. My favorite way is to cut 3/4”, lay on foil, little salt and pepper, inside Bar-B-Que. the flavor of the fish is AMAZING! I so wish I could give you a nice King salmon and watch you work it. I could send you one????? Blessings and Thank You. I remember hearing a phycologist say “We are happiest when we are learning”
Hello Chef. I love the Channel. You have helped me improve my cooking and confidence in the kitchen immeasurably. I watched your Q and A and can’t wait for the in person event you mentioned. I live in Miami so not far away. Would be an amazing experience to meet you. William
Chef. You are the most humble and most talented chef on You Tube. I grew up cooking and canning with my mother in the kitchen, but lost real interest as a young adult. You are one of a very select group of culinary experts that has reinvigorated my desire to cook better and master technique. Now, once again I love to cook and am proud of what I can do in the kitchen for my family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of the best teachers I have ever had. At 57 that is saying something. Because of you, I am able to practice my skills with a couple of professional chefs in my Masonic lodge here in NH. when we do dinners, etc. ( I pick their brains and learn from them as well ) I'm sure you have no idea as too how many peoples lives you have touched over the years, but on behalf of all of us, Thank You for sharing your love of your craft and making us all better people. --- dennis in NH.
Chef, thanks you for all that you do. I showed my mom a few of your videos (she is classically trained, specializing in pastries and baking)...she was nodding along and giggling with approval. "You make it look easy and fun!" she said. Keep doing what's working - inspiring us all to be better and have more fun in the kitchen.
Amazing Video chef! Would you ever consider doing a few live streams on RUclips so people can watch and interact live? or possibly cook along live with you?
It was great to see you relaxing with a glass of wine and hear you answer questions Chef! I love your encouragement to other Chef's to share their knowledge and start a RUclips channel. I've learned so much from you and many others because of that. My love of food and cooking has grown leaps and bounds because of these great resources. Of course it started with a Mom who loved food and cooking but continues to grow because of people like you. Thank you for all you do and your kind and fun loving attitude! Cheers.
As someone who works in entertainment industry I must say I'm pleasantly surprised to learn Jack is someone you brought on at the beginning with no experience. He does a wonderful job editing and I love knowing that you two have known each other for so long. Your whole team is so amazing and you are such a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you chef for everything you teach us and thank you Jack and others behind the scenes who help to bring us delicious and simple recipes. I just made your mushroom pasta recipe again and every time I make a recipe you give I say out loud " goddamn it, the chef did it again!"
I love that Jack said, “I don’t want a favor, I want a job!” That shows the dedication he has. I think Jack does a wonderful job! My husband is always envious of Jack, he stays off camera, can make jokes and gets to eat Chef’s Creations. My husband has told our sons a few times….’that the genius, be like Jack!”
Keep going Jean-Pierre, we thank you for sharing your fabulous cooking knowlege with such warmth, humour and humility. Old school cooking by an old school gentleman. And let's not forget to applaud great video production from Jack.
Now the world is your school and we are all of your students! You are a wonderful teacher and you inspire all of us to be better cooks and maybe even chefs! Thank you for everything you do!
Saving them as a bookmark - 8:25 some of his favorite recipes that got low views. I put the view count too, thought it would be fun to see which ones took off after this video. I know I'm heading straight for the lava cake and the polenta - let us know if you've tried any of these! Stuffed Portobello Mushroom (137K views): ruclips.net/video/Q0tLM7Z1WFE/видео.html Cherry Custard Pie (124K views): ruclips.net/video/BFu7K2UU3HQ/видео.html Cheese Souffle that never falls (129K views): ruclips.net/video/yOtyDzUS7ko/видео.html Chocolate Truffle (94K views): ruclips.net/video/FgWaTzPAWOY/видео.html Melting Chocolate Lava Cake (59K views): ruclips.net/video/fCD5Ml5rrdo/видео.html Chicken Sausage Jambalaya (359K views): ruclips.net/video/OrLV7EMczb4/видео.html Creamy Polenta and Polenta Cake (75K views): ruclips.net/video/FtRwY4hWPt0/видео.html
The jambalaya is boss, but the written recipe didnt work out. I needed raw white rice, if i remember the written recipe calls for parboiled. The flavor was great, so once i did it again and used raw rice in the recipe, it came out amazingly well. A top notch low budget meal that can feed a crowd. First recipe from him i tried, after his shepherds pie video got me here, was the mushroom. I felt like a kitchen master that day, the finished product is THAT good looking. The cheese mix instantly made me nostalgic for my late mother. She used to buy a similar product and I'd steal it all for crackers. I'll be forever humbled by this man casually teaching me how to make my mom's favorite cheese spread. His recipes always teach you multiple things. The mushroom video is short but jam packed with some overlooks basics. Remove the gills, balance the dressing, a cheese spread AND a balsamic drizzle. Mama mia! I bought the dishes and then made the lava cake. Screwed it up. Didnt set. I think the recipe's timing is off, or i dont have the same size container. I havent redone it yet, so im not willing to blame the written recipe. I say written recipe because its sometimes not exactly as it was in the video. Clearly, he's a wiz with food and struggles to articulate what he did. He knows how much/how long he needs by looking and just fills up his pots unless purposefully being meticulous, in which case the written recipe is, too. We need someone to help rewrite the recipes for Chef. I have thought of offering to do it, but im just a learning home cook, so i figured a culinary student or another retiree from the industry hanging out around here would be better suited. Sorry to ramble. Gonna go pick some recipes ive been waiting to move on and make a week of it. :)
Usually I do not comment that often on YT but you deserve an exception. I learned so much from you in the last 1 1/2 years and impressed so many people with my (your) cooking. Paired with your wholesome character and the happiness you radiate, you have quickly become become one of my greates inspirations (personally as well as cooking related) in life. Therefore, I wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team!
You'll never know how much you've taught me. I pass it on to my kids now. Plus, when im feeling down and in a depression, you make me happy for the day. I just want to say a huge THANK YOU Sir.
I've got nothing to add that hasn't been said already. You inspire me and countless thousands of others. Thank you for bringing sunshine and joy to a medium that is, unfortunately, most often filled with anger and negativity.
This makes me feel so lucky of all those meals at your school yet sad that covid made it impossible to continue. For those who have not experienced JP in person think about being able to have him cook a meal for you and in front of you for about the same cost of actually just buying the meal at a restaurant but being taught how to cook it at home and experiencing his humor and charisma. (while BYOB!)
That's a wonderful idea @@sunshineproductions4122. It would take alot of organisation though and depends on the time chef JP has and the cost of travel too. Maybe in the future chef may think about it. I'd travel all the way from the UK to be at one of those though xx
Loved this video, chef. Seeing you in casual clothes in a big chair with a glasss of wine reminded me of my father who passed 4 years ago. Your warmth and relaxed nature was what made me think of him and get a bit emotional. I hope you do these again.
All I can say is that we are the fortunate ones. YOU ARE SO LOVED. You are a beautiful human being!!! God Bless You Always!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
We just got a new puppy yesterday and we named him Jean-Pierre. We love your channel and have been making so many of your recipes at home. Thanks for all you do.
As an avid cook, I was fortunate enough to come across Chef JP’s channel from the start. Since then, he has elevated my skills to levels I never thought possible. I’ve now become the exclusive cook during the holidays and events for mine and my extended family…..as JP mentioned, it’s rewarding when you cook well. I wish the Chef continued success for his channel and well wishes in his life. He truly is an amazing person and soul.
I think you were so lucky to have family that taught you so young. My grandma taught me how to cook the perfect white rice. And I cherished that one lesson.
Chef, thank you for your great spirit, for everything you teach and give. You are a good soul. My friend of 50 years and me, we cook almost all your dishes and we quote you constantly! God bless you!
Jean-Pierre"s channel stands out in a crowded world of cooking shows. Long form educational while entertaining, techniques you can remember, not formulas you will forget. Honest mistakes not fake perfection..
I did my chef training in the mid-90's and unfortunately I was surrounded by stressed out substance abuser so-called shefs so became disillusioned and left the profession. I still love cooking and appreciate a mentor such as yourself, thank you ...
This is a Phenomenal video! Thanx, Chef, for answering so many questions I often wondered about as well. 🤗 Look forward to seeing your apprentice Jack ☺in front of the camera one day! 👍Have a Blessed day! Stay safe. Peace.☮
God Bless you Chef. I started cooking as a dishwasher, prep, line cook at the age of 14 at Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills CA. I have taught my children well, may you do a pasta special? Simply, multi sauces, tomato, stock, minimal, cream, combined, seafood based, and of course chicken stock....simple pastas with fresh herbs and vegetables, and Trader Joe ingredients. Gracias, Ciicii Chef.
I greatly enjoyed your candid Q&A! I took notes and it was like we were in the living room, just having a nice visit. I never get tired of listening to you, your voice and mannerisms calm me and help to keep sanity in this world of turmoil. It's so great to hear about your background, growing up, helping your uncle bake bread at 5 years old. And all your experiences; your mother, the cruise ship experience and coming to America. You are proof that things happen for a reason, so glad you arrived! I so appreciate your years of experience!
You're as interesting in a Q&A as you are when teaching us new recipes, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you chef! And yes please, introduce us to Jack on camera 😊
I'm just now watching this Sept 6, 2023, because I have been watching your old videos and I'm so grateful I found your channel. I used to hate cooking because it was so a chore and now I can't wait to try a new recipe for my family.
As someone whose about to start their own cooking channel, you've personally taught me about 4 things I've never seen anyone else do that are so amazing. How to add flour and thicken something using the strainer right in the sauce is just one example~! And don't listen to the recipe police! Rock on Chef!!!!
I love to cook! I actually prefer to eat something I have cooked rather than go out to eat. I cook with red wine on occasion, but it's usually basic cooking, something that almost anyone can do 🙂
“Retirement gets better every time you do it” 🥰 Sure is! So thankful you are here to help us once-hopeless home cooks to make meals that make the whole family happy!
Lets not forget about our friend Jack, kuddos to his amazing skills, there is no I in team, as we all know, you both complete one another! love and hugs Iceman
I have Cerebral Palsy and we used to make community meals every week, with and for other people with disabilities. It was so much fun watching my friends learn to cook and having fun doing it.
Chief Pierre Having worked in a few kitchens as a chief mys😢watching your channel I must say you are an inspiration to so many. You provide those secrets of making cooking easier and fun that is the key to success. And the many years of experience showing so many great dishes with understanding it really is simple. Thank you Chief and Jack for this show today! Have a Great Memorial Day
Thanks Chef JP and Jack…your QA was awesome! I’ve been around since I watched Sunshine Cuisine in FL…in fact I lived in Plantation when Andrew hit and remember how devastating it was…so kudos to you for donating your talent to aid in helping those affected! Would love to make a return trip to FTL to see you cook in person! (Jack, you also doing an awesome job!)
If you ever wonder if your video's are long due to your stories, you can rest assured you do not. Many of us hung on to every word and enjoyed your Q&A video...all 35 min of it. We love your content and look forward to new video's every week. Thank you, Chef JP!!!
I love the garlic puree in your marina sauce.. "I'm a new subscriber" I am so glad I came across your channel. I have learned so much from your recipes to your techniques in the kitchen. You explain everything so well. Thank you Chef. What a treat to listen to this Q&A. I am def going to search for your first recipes you have shared. Cheers!
Chef, I have learned many things from you. But the day explained that water my friends is the enemy. Changed my World. Chicken or Beef or Vegetable broth. Hopefully fortified as you taught me. I'm a southerner and we love our sausage gravy. Now that I use broth instead of water Wow. Looking forward to learning more.
You know what chef Jean-Pierre? You make me so happy. It’s cause of your personality. You are so nice and it just feels good to be in your surroundings 🙏❤️
Since I accidentally saw your show aired a year ago, I can’t help but wait for your show. Now, whenever I have time, I watch your previous show and learn a lot of cooking skills. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for all your videos! My week is bland and tasteless without the joy and fun of watching you cook, and enjoy it so much. I’ve learned so much from you…now..I’m grabbing a glass of wine and heading for the kitchen!😆💕
We are a fortunate group of people. Thank you for sharing your world with us, Chef; you're a good and beautiful soul, sir!
THANK YOU! 🙏😊❤️

Dear Chef Jean-Pierre you are an absolute gem and we are glad to have you here to teach us.
God bless you too, Chef Jean-Pierre from Australia.
You're an amazing person with an amazing story. Thanks for sharing Chef!
Chef. You are the most humble and most talented chef on You Tube. I grew up cooking and canning with my mother in the kitchen, but lost real interest as a young adult. You are one of a very select group of culinary experts that has reinvigorated my desire to cook better and master technique. Now, once again I love to cook and am proud of what I can do in the kitchen for my family and friends.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of the best teachers I have ever had. At 57 that is saying something. Because of you, I am able to practice my skills with a couple of professional chefs in my Masonic lodge here in NH. when we do dinners, etc. ( I pick their brains and learn from them as well )
I'm sure you have no idea as too how many peoples lives you have touched over the years, but on behalf of all of us, Thank You for sharing your love of your craft and making us all better people.

I absolutely love this man!!!!
Thank you Chef for everything you do for us!!!!
🙏❤️
Chef, thanks you for all that you do. I showed my mom a few of your videos (she is classically trained, specializing in pastries and baking)...she was nodding along and giggling with approval. "You make it look easy and fun!" she said.
Keep doing what's working - inspiring us all to be better and have more fun in the kitchen.
Amazing Video chef! Would you ever consider doing a few live streams on RUclips so people can watch and interact live? or possibly cook along live with you?
When I see you do a recipe I start cooking! Cooking was my medicine to keep me sane during Covid. Continue teaching us. Thanks.
It was great to see you relaxing with a glass of wine and hear you answer questions Chef! I love your encouragement to other Chef's to share their knowledge and start a RUclips channel. I've learned so much from you and many others because of that. My love of food and cooking has grown leaps and bounds because of these great resources. Of course it started with a Mom who loved food and cooking but continues to grow because of people like you. Thank you for all you do and your kind and fun loving attitude! Cheers.
As someone who works in entertainment industry I must say I'm pleasantly surprised to learn Jack is someone you brought on at the beginning with no experience. He does a wonderful job editing and I love knowing that you two have known each other for so long. Your whole team is so amazing and you are such a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you chef for everything you teach us and thank you Jack and others behind the scenes who help to bring us delicious and simple recipes. I just made your mushroom pasta recipe again and every time I make a recipe you give I say out loud " goddamn it, the chef did it again!"
I was impressed also of his hiring Jack, with no experience... a tribute to his character of hiring & encouragement of others.
I love that Jack said, “I don’t want a favor, I want a job!” That shows the dedication he has. I think Jack does a wonderful job! My husband is always envious of Jack, he stays off camera, can make jokes and gets to eat Chef’s Creations. My husband has told our sons a few times….’that the genius, be like Jack!”
Chef JP, your joy and willingness to share your experience is panacea to a chaotic world. Thankyou😊
Keep going Jean-Pierre, we thank you for sharing your fabulous cooking knowlege with such warmth, humour and humility. Old school cooking by an old school gentleman. And let's not forget to applaud great video production from Jack.
Your cauliflower soup was my favorite video. Simply scrumptious. And thank you for giving your amazing talent and knowledge to the world.
Now the world is your school and we are all of your students! You are a wonderful teacher and you inspire all of us to be better cooks and maybe even chefs! Thank you for everything you do!
Saving them as a bookmark - 8:25 some of his favorite recipes that got low views. I put the view count too, thought it would be fun to see which ones took off after this video. I know I'm heading straight for the lava cake and the polenta - let us know if you've tried any of these!

Creamy Polenta and Polenta Cake (75K views): ruclips.net/video/FtRwY4hWPt0/видео.html
The jambalaya is boss, but the written recipe didnt work out. I needed raw white rice, if i remember the written recipe calls for parboiled. The flavor was great, so once i did it again and used raw rice in the recipe, it came out amazingly well. A top notch low budget meal that can feed a crowd.
First recipe from him i tried, after his shepherds pie video got me here, was the mushroom. I felt like a kitchen master that day, the finished product is THAT good looking. The cheese mix instantly made me nostalgic for my late mother. She used to buy a similar product and I'd steal it all for crackers. I'll be forever humbled by this man casually teaching me how to make my mom's favorite cheese spread.
His recipes always teach you multiple things. The mushroom video is short but jam packed with some overlooks basics. Remove the gills, balance the dressing, a cheese spread AND a balsamic drizzle. Mama mia!
I bought the dishes and then made the lava cake. Screwed it up. Didnt set. I think the recipe's timing is off, or i dont have the same size container. I havent redone it yet, so im not willing to blame the written recipe.
I say written recipe because its sometimes not exactly as it was in the video. Clearly, he's a wiz with food and struggles to articulate what he did. He knows how much/how long he needs by looking and just fills up his pots unless purposefully being meticulous, in which case the written recipe is, too. We need someone to help rewrite the recipes for Chef. I have thought of offering to do it, but im just a learning home cook, so i figured a culinary student or another retiree from the industry hanging out around here would be better suited.
Sorry to ramble. Gonna go pick some recipes ive been waiting to move on and make a week of it.
:)
Usually I do not comment that often on YT but you deserve an exception. I learned so much from you in the last 1 1/2 years and impressed so many people with my (your) cooking. Paired with your wholesome character and the happiness you radiate, you have quickly become become one of my greates inspirations (personally as well as cooking related) in life.
Therefore, I wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team!
Well said 😊 he is an exemple of what human being should be.
You'll never know how much you've taught me. I pass it on to my kids now. Plus, when im feeling down and in a depression, you make me happy for the day. I just want to say a huge THANK YOU Sir.
Haven’t watched it yet, and love it already! Merci Jean-Pierre!! You’re an inspiration for my husband and I!! 🇨🇦♥️😘👨🏻🍳
I've got nothing to add that hasn't been said already. You inspire me and countless thousands of others. Thank you for bringing sunshine and joy to a medium that is, unfortunately, most often filled with anger and negativity.
This makes me feel so lucky of all those meals at your school yet sad that covid made it impossible to continue.
For those who have not experienced JP in person think about being able to have him cook a meal for you and in front of you for about the same cost of actually just buying the meal at a restaurant but being taught how to cook it at home and experiencing his humor and charisma. (while BYOB!)
We all miss the school maybe one day we will reopen who knows. You certainly brought back some wonderful memories Godspeed!❤️
Chef, take the school on the road in a town near us. Perhaps, like a cooking tour. I'd buy tickets!
That's a wonderful idea @@sunshineproductions4122. It would take alot of organisation though and depends on the time chef JP has and the cost of travel too. Maybe in the future chef may think about it. I'd travel all the way from the UK to be at one of those though xx
Loved this video, chef. Seeing you in casual clothes in a big chair with a glasss of wine reminded me of my father who passed 4 years ago. Your warmth and relaxed nature was what made me think of him and get a bit emotional. I hope you do these again.
Pure beautiful energy and love from the great chef.
All I can say is that we are the fortunate ones. YOU ARE SO LOVED. You are a beautiful human being!!! God Bless You Always!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Sending you all the love and respect you (and Jack!) deserve, Chef JP!! You guys are an absolute joy to watch!
We just got a new puppy yesterday and we named him Jean-Pierre. We love your channel and have been making so many of your recipes at home. Thanks for all you do.
How cool! You are going to feed well!!! 👍👍👍❤️😊
Chef Jean-pierre for president!
👍👍👍😊
I didn’t like the Q & A session Chef - I LOVED IT ❤. it was great to hear you speak with such passion about cooking. We’re so lucky to have you xxx
As an avid cook, I was fortunate enough to come across Chef JP’s channel from the start. Since then, he has elevated my skills to levels I never thought possible. I’ve now become the exclusive cook during the holidays and events for mine and my extended family…..as JP mentioned, it’s rewarding when you cook well. I wish the Chef continued success for his channel and well wishes in his life. He truly is an amazing person and soul.
I think you were so lucky to have family that taught you so young. My grandma taught me how to cook the perfect white rice. And I cherished that one lesson.
Chef, thank you for your great spirit, for everything you teach and give. You are a good soul. My friend of 50 years and me, we cook almost all your dishes and we quote you constantly! God bless you!
Jean-Pierre"s channel stands out in a crowded world of cooking shows. Long form educational while entertaining, techniques you can remember, not formulas you will forget. Honest mistakes not fake perfection..
You’re the best thing that happened to Utube.
I did my chef training in the mid-90's and unfortunately I was surrounded by stressed out substance abuser so-called shefs so became disillusioned and left the profession. I still love cooking and appreciate a mentor such as yourself, thank you ...
🙏🙏🙏❤️
This is a Phenomenal video! Thanx, Chef, for answering so many questions I often wondered about as well. 🤗 Look forward to seeing your apprentice Jack ☺in front of the camera one day! 👍Have a Blessed day! Stay safe. Peace.☮
SALUT!!! We LOVE you in our home, Chef! Thank you for the generous service and entertainment you provide to us!
God Bless you Chef. I started cooking as a dishwasher, prep, line cook at the age of 14 at Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills CA. I have taught my children well, may you do a pasta special? Simply, multi sauces, tomato, stock, minimal, cream, combined, seafood based, and of course chicken stock....simple pastas with fresh herbs and vegetables, and Trader Joe ingredients. Gracias, Ciicii Chef.
I greatly enjoyed your candid Q&A! I took notes and it was like we were in the living room, just having a nice visit. I never get tired of listening to you, your voice and mannerisms calm me and help to keep sanity in this world of turmoil. It's so great to hear about your background, growing up, helping your uncle bake bread at 5 years old. And all your experiences; your mother, the cruise ship experience and coming to America. You are proof that things happen for a reason, so glad you arrived! I so appreciate your years of experience!
You're as interesting in a Q&A as you are when teaching us new recipes, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you chef! And yes please, introduce us to Jack on camera 😊
I'm just now watching this Sept 6, 2023, because I have been watching your old videos and I'm so grateful I found your channel. I used to hate cooking because it was so a chore and now I can't wait to try a new recipe for my family.
Thank you for answering our question Chef!
As someone whose about to start their own cooking channel, you've personally taught me about 4 things I've never seen anyone else do that are so amazing. How to add flour and thicken something using the strainer right in the sauce is just one example~!
And don't listen to the recipe police! Rock on Chef!!!!
❤
I love to cook! I actually prefer to eat something I have cooked rather than go out to eat. I cook with red wine on occasion, but it's usually basic cooking, something that almost anyone can do 🙂
“Retirement gets better every time you do it” 🥰 Sure is! So thankful you are here to help us once-hopeless home cooks to make meals that make the whole family happy!
Lets not forget about our friend Jack, kuddos to his amazing skills, there is no I in team, as we all know, you both complete one another! love and hugs Iceman
My favorite Chef of all time. His joy of cooking is so contagious.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how even on his day off he wears the closest thing to chef whites as possible.
😂😂
I have Cerebral Palsy and we used to make community meals every week, with and for other people with disabilities. It was so much fun watching my friends learn to cook and having fun doing it.
Chief Pierre
Having worked in a few kitchens as a chief mys😢watching your channel I must say you are an inspiration to so many.
You provide those secrets of making cooking easier and fun that is the key to success. And the many years of experience showing so many great dishes with understanding it really is simple.
Thank you Chief and Jack for this show today!
Have a Great Memorial Day
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Your amazing! The energy you give. You made cooking amazing. And delicious. Thank you. I will enjoy watch your channels over and over.
Thanks Chef JP and Jack…your QA was awesome! I’ve been around since I watched Sunshine Cuisine in FL…in fact I lived in Plantation when Andrew hit and remember how devastating it was…so kudos to you for donating your talent to aid in helping those affected! Would love to make a return trip to FTL to see you cook in person! (Jack, you also doing an awesome job!)
If you ever wonder if your video's are long due to your stories, you can rest assured you do not. Many of us hung on to every word and enjoyed your Q&A video...all 35 min of it. We love your content and look forward to new video's every week. Thank you, Chef JP!!!
You cant help but love this man. Awesome!
I love the garlic puree in your marina sauce.. "I'm a new subscriber" I am so glad I came across your channel. I have learned so much from your recipes to your techniques in the kitchen. You explain everything so well. Thank you Chef. What a treat to listen to this Q&A. I am def going to search for your first recipes you have shared. Cheers!
Chef, I have learned many things from you. But the day explained that water my friends is the enemy. Changed my World. Chicken or Beef or Vegetable broth. Hopefully fortified as you taught me. I'm a southerner and we love our sausage gravy. Now that I use broth instead of water Wow. Looking forward to learning more.
I LOVE how water is his enemy and butter is his best friend! ❤😅🎉 he’s a gem for sure.
You know what chef Jean-Pierre?
You make me so happy. It’s cause of your personality. You are so nice and it just feels good to be in your surroundings 🙏❤️
I feel the same way 😊
Watched the first two minutes, and I decided to save it until tonight when I can give it the attention (and drink) it deserves. Thank you for posting!
👍👍👍😊
I just love how honest and genuine you are. You’re a great teacher and I love that on your retirement you chose to teach us ❤ Thank you ❤
Since I accidentally saw your show aired a year ago, I can’t help but wait for your show. Now, whenever I have time, I watch your previous show and learn a lot of cooking skills. Thank you for sharing
Amazing story Chef!! Thank you for sharing with us.
Most, I love to see you how satisfied you are with your trajectory, given how extraordinarily talented you are.
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thank you so much for all your videos! My week is bland and tasteless without the joy and fun of watching you cook, and enjoy it so much. I’ve learned so much from you…now..I’m grabbing a glass of wine and heading for the kitchen!😆💕
