As the festive season approaches, I understand the joy and sometimes, the stress, that comes with planning the perfect holiday meal. To help you make a decision on your next big Holiday meal. I put together 3-holiday menus, each tailored to different cooking levels of experience and the time you have. The first menu is super easy for beginners. The second is perfect for those of you who are pretty handy in the kitchen, and the third is for the experienced home chef who wants to go all out for the perfect holiday feast!
These recipes are timeless, and their results⦠are consistently delightful and tested to guarantee success. So, instead of introducing something new, I invite you to revisit these classics with me. If you've watched these videos before, I encourage you to dive back in and embrace these techniques once again.
Because, in our quest for culinary perfection, sometimes the best way forward is to return to the basics that we know work flawlessly. So, grab a glass of wine, and letβs experience these essential cooking techniques together.
Absolutely the best Chefπ! Thanks for the sharing.
I have been watching your videos for a several years now, particularly ones involving technique. Thanks to all the things I have learned from you, as well as other chefs like Jaques pepin, I have received many compliments on my cooking. So much so, that I was asked to cook for my church's Christmas party for about 100 people. It was so different using the equipment in a professional kitchen but I was able to pull off the meal and received many compliments! The menu was scrambled eggs, pancakes, and potatoes. I used your techniques for the eggs and potatoes! I will be doing it again for new years with a different menu and then again for another Christmas party with a different menu. All for similarly large groups, but I am confident that I can pull it off thanks to you!
I love to watch cooking shows while I'm eating. Chef Jean-Pierre has skyrocketed to my #1 go to chef. Last night I ate 2 burgers that I grilled while watching Chef Jean-Pierre make the perfect Steak au Poiver with Filet. Made my burgers infinitely better. I am going to learn a lot from this man. Easy to learn from with a laid back attitude. "So easy a child could do it."
Hi chef. I made a batch of chocolate cookies today. Amazing. Iβll give some to friends tomorrow Very delicious, sort of crisp on the outside and fudge like inside. Do you ever make Christmas cookies from old recipes ? Thank you. I will switch to this kind instead of Toll house recipe.
The expert practices the fundamentals
perfect timing Chef! I just purchased a 6 pound standing prime rib roast. For Christmas dinner with my 90 year mother I will be following your recipes for the potatoes, roast, and truffle chocolate cake. As I sit here sipping egg nog and Kraken you reminded me of 30 years ago and my attempt of making a beef wellington. What a fail! Never tried again π. Love β€ you.
Awesome
Yes , I know, what had I done without a digital thermometer before? I don't know!
Wish you Happy Holidays, all the Best from Hannes, Germany πππ·ππ

I love you chef J

Love watching you πππ
Wishing you and Jack a Merry Christmas!
Chef, you are such a sweetheart. I am married to an amazing home Chef which means I am spoiled & a wee bit chubbier than I should be. lol . As I am getting older I realize my Scottish Mum taught us, growing up in the late 60's early 70's, that sauces (white sauce and custard) are all about patience – stirring patiently over a low heat. I did my best at the time, but keep in mind she was also an advocate for beating butter and sugar together by hand with a wooden spoon for sponge cake. I used to think her baking was boring in comparison to space age tootsie roll sticks or pop tarts which were being marketed to us kids on tv at the time. Isn't if funny that all these years later, having had my own family, that I have these memories/lessons bubbling up when I make my own custard for trifle or a random white sauce. I now have such an appreciation of what my Mum was trying to teach me. You are doing a great job of connecting with us all and reminding us of our own good or bad cooking memories. I so admire your sharing your vast knowledge with us. I'm going to check out your brussell sprout recipe and maybe give it a go for this year's Christmas dinner. Wish me luck. Merry Christmas to you and yours and let your taste buds have a break without having to taste test quite so much.
Hello Chef JP,
I would love it if you could do a video on preparing baked Christmas ham.
I'm in wine included π
Happy Holidays, Chef! My wife and I have been watching your videos for quite a while and have tried probably a dozen different things over the last year. Everything you cook is amazing! And your down to earth way of teaching people is very refreshing and not pretentious. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more goodies in 2024! Butter makes everything butter! π
Merry Christmas Chef to you and your family thank you for all you do! And have taught me!
Phenominal video. Thank you and Jack so much for making this and all your videos.
Chef, I absolutely love your channel. I have successfully made many of the most challenging recipes you have. But I fear that you have caved to some Anglo-Saxon fans' mirages by pointing out this Beef Wellington. Because seriously when you have tried both the exquisite taste of a properly made filet mignon (or your Steak au Poivre) and then you compare it to a Beef Wellington – I will go for the filet mignon EVERY TIME. Which is exactly why I would never, ever, put the effort into this dubious dish. Beef Wellington is simply a foolish English contraption trying to be French with an extra coating, and it fails as high cuisine.
I'm handy in the kitchen I plan on buying your cooking 101 book just for fun and a good rainy day read.Thanks chef.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and an Amazing New Year!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hey before I forget, Merry Christmas Chef! Love your videos and especially your talking! Greetings to you and your family!
Thank you, Chef! Have a very Blessed Christmas with your family.
Dear Chef, i am so glad I found your channel, you are truly an inspiration. You make anything seem possible in the kitchen. Merry Christmas π
