5 SECRET VEGAN FLAVOURS THIS MICHELIN STAR CHEF LOVES 2020

[@Apocalypz]

The fact he was so *open to share each step of the process* like, "If I can make it in the restaurant, then you can make it at home" was terribly inviting.

[@laurelsternberg5861]

If you're into cooking, why not change your handle to Apocalips?

[@aniwhitetree3543]

LET HIM SPEAK! Ye keep talking over him and cutting him off.

[@Clara_Elena]

Ikr so frustrating, the point is hearing him. He is the Michelin star chef!!!

[@TheCarolchereja]

They always do that to guestst. SO ANNOYING

[@dominicthompson7612]

Get this dude on every week man...he's cool as man

[@thehappypear]

He really is :)

[@NonchalantWalrusParty]

[@jeanc9868]

1) Hay 2) black apple 3) mushroom broth 4) channeled mushroom 5) Ramzan berries

[@jamesmcgee7723]

Jean C 4) seaweed. I think the shrooms are in together.

[@tessatomiko]

Thank you! Didn’t want to listen through all this shit to get to the point. Lol

[@laurelsternberg5861]

Thanks for this list!

[@pattheplanter]

1) hay 0:40 2) black apple purée 4:30 3) reduced mushroom stock 6:55 4) channelwrack, mermaid's hair (pepper dulse _Osmundea pinnatifida,_ not the toxic mermaid's hair seaweed that contains sulphuric acid _Desmarestia_ spp.), nori/laver, dulse/dillisk and sea lettuce. Nori and laver are different species but related. Easy to tell apart as one is green and the other purple. Both are found on the shores of Ireland and Britain. Seaweed can be dangerous to those who have a crustacean allergy due to the tiny critters often found on the fronds. 8:58 5) ramsons fruit, aka wild garlic fruit. Ridiculously easy to cultivate (in a bucket to stop it spreading) so no excuse for harvesting kilos of it from the wild). 12:37 The uses and preparations are as important as the names, I would recommend watching the video.

[@solanjedere]

I love those lists "let's keep it short" 😂

[@rachelfranks4261]

@@michauxjp Good job with the video, really like that you use local ingredients, I try to do something similar over here in Scotland.

[@danims7329]

It could have been, if it wasn't full of interruptions to JP each time he is trying to explain something.

[@nynjparis]

Fantastic guest! But could you 2 pears curb your enthusiasm and let your guest speak ?!??

[@IslandExodus]

Seriously!! And quit poking and prodding and grabbing the food before hes done doing his thing! Was driving me nuts!!

[@laraking804]

swiftlyfolded 2 pears... 😂

[@islandbhoi]

Have to agree! JP is a legend, and he kept getting interrupted. I wanted to hear so much more from him. Bring him back! :-)

[@IslandExodus]

Love the guests but the hosts are unbearable. Tasting and grabbing before the man can even finish seasoning or presenting. Talking over him every two seconds. Chef is the only thing saving this video from being unwatchable.

[@SooperToober]

You should bring JP on as a monthly guest to spice things up! This was a brilliant idea chaps!

[@multivitamine12]

8:19 let the guy speak! I wanted to know what he was going to say but you guys kept talking over him until he gave up :(

[@jamesrichard1140]

These guys always talk over guests. Seem full of themselves

[@beatrizcazorla419]

It can be that they are very excited to have the guy there, it happens... Otherwise they seem to be really ful of themselves

[@YunisRajab]

They're like children that find out something they're really excited about and want to talk about. Anyone that watches this channel knows that they're definitely not full of themselves; just unaware of how they talk over people. It's a common thing with siblings of the same age

[@md61211]

Was thinking the exact same thing. The point of a guest is to bring them in & let them do their thing.

[@Keyakina]

This video is amazing bc of the guest and the INCREDDIBLE recepies he brings, I don't want to dislike the video or unsub but I REALLY hate that still point all the attention to themselves.. Would've prefered a really slow down 30 minute talk from just him and his knowledge instead of talking trough eachother giving no information..

[@bevllewellyn8799]

I LOVE taking the wild stuff and fermenting, pickling, dehydrating and preserving. That’s so much fir this 👍❤️❤️❤️

[@gogetter4u]

Thank you for sharing your seasoning ideas. It was very informative.

[@marcosilva1923]

you guys need to learn to shut up and let your guests finish a sentence

[@Apocalypz]

Your level of subtlety is impressive. Perhaps there are two lessons here. 😒

[@perlaserrano1791]

Could you be a little bit more polite?

[@AngieMeadKing]

This is gold!

[@Dominikmj]

There is a German condiment, which is called Apfelkraut (directly translated into apple-herb - but it is rather an apple molasses) which you can buy in Germany (it is rather regional). There is also a unique condiment which is sugar beet molasses, which is similar, but also very deep in flavor. There are many condiments in the world - but due to our supermarket monoculture a lot of things are not known and are not distributed.

[@Naamtok]

Do your guest the courtesy of allowing him to finish a sentence? You are both very excited - I appreciate that with a Michelin star guest, but you end up cutting him off throughout. My dad would say "you have two ears and one mouth - use them in that ratio" and there are two of you. Great video nevertheless. Cheers.

[@BourbonISvegan]

[@barbhayes5613]

Fascinating video. Thanks, guys!

[@belindaeileen]

Very interesting, I learned new stuff. Concentrating great flavors. Ways of looking at ingredients as condiments, nice. Wish I could cross the pond and visit your establishments.

[@catherineogrady8773]

I would Love the Solaria, however that little bud that comes from wild Garlic reminds me of Capers, They are a the bud of a little white flower that before it flowers it is picked & put into vinegar to eat. It all sounds so yummy & exciting . I never had solaria, I would love too know where to buy it . It has been mentioned a few times on cookery programmes but I never saw one . Keep up the good exciting work. 🫑🍆🫒🍆😂😅

[@Maarten0216]

Would love to see a few recipes from JP!!

[@sofiaserez]

I love how he hasn’t even put one thing down and you guys already got your spoons and knives ready to eat it 😂

[@thehappypear]

Haha :)

[@wellofloneliness]

Awesome ideas! I would really like to try them

[@ellesig4708]

We need JP to make a vegan cookbook.

[@Pruuc]

@lelwut If you're gonna bash vegans at least don't lie.

[@md61211]

I could be wrong (or confusing him with someone else), but I think the Pears said in another video with JP, that he has a 600-recipe book out or coming out. Check out the Pears + JP curry video. I think that's where I saw it.

[@pattheplanter]

His cookbook is definitely not going to be vegan, though I presume his restaurants have vegan alternatives. www.waterstones.com/book/the-irish-cookbook/jp-mcmahon/9781838660567 Coming in February.

[@bobogliddabrun]

Is that black apple puree the same as the Irish Black Butter you can buy in jars?

[@JeremyLam0]

i thought the hay was a joke at first

[@Telenova.]

Wow! So different. Very cool ideas.

[@mareenalewis4241]

Love this channel! Thank you for the cooking tips.

[@zer0kelvin212]

People making jokes about vegan mowing their grass. Michelin star chef uses hay.

[@scothunter3221]

Years ago (pre-vegan, when I was first learning to cook and living on a small farm) I tried stewing a chicken with a large piece of alfalfa hay, sort of like a giant bouquet garni. The flavor was incredible.

[@thehappypear]

Wow sounds incredible!

[@mimicrono]

Could you please turn the automatic captions in your videos (from the next video on) for us whose native language is not English, and our level is not the best? It would help us with our understanding a lot. Thank you a lot in advance.

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a mill for your feedback, will defo look into this :)

[@hisomeonetrackingmuch1309]

"Defo" I believe, means definitely.

[@pattheplanter]

If you pause the video and click the CC button in the bottom right of the video screen you will get automatic captions. What would really help accesibility for both the hearing-challenged and those with English as a second language would be real subtitles done by someone who knows what is being said, though obviously that adds to the time and costs of the content creator. To be sure, I'd expect a company like The Happy Pear to go the extra mile for accessibility.

[@pattheplanter]

@@thehappypear Please do real subtitles by someone who knows what is being said. The automatic captions came up with Syrian, Iraq, shamrock, Jerry peas amazing comments, Instagram mystery go away, black so Eric's lovely, etc, "loads of salt" got changed to "low salt". That is no use for the hearing-impaired. I am sure you support accessibility. It will cost you a little time but think of the satisfaction knowing more people will learn from the channel.

[@mimicrono]

@@pattheplanter I am starting to think it has been a problem with my YT application. I ALWAYS have the English automatic captions on, but lately the videos of my favorite channels haven't even offered me the subtitles option. Then, suddenly, there it is again. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😓 On the other hand, to my surprise, I have discovered that I wrongly used to assume those with hearing problems could provide those gaps of info (which one usually finds with the automatic captions) by reading lips. How ignorant have I been. Thanks for letting me know. I thought to add that aa another reason for the captions, but that stupid-stupid thought prevented me from doing it. Thank you so much. 😚😚😚😚

[@teenyleek1233]

[@aslanpatience8278]

A few ideas on how to use the Ramson seeds. Let me know if you've tried any of these (Never tried just ideas). Ramson cream sauce (a la peppercorn) Dried and crushed as pepper. Fold onto a mixture of chia flax and sunflower and spread out as crisps. Serve alongside roasted mushrooms as a condiment. Fold into butter with chives, tarragon, truffle or without as hotel butter. Blend into vinaigrette with soaked nuts and herbs. Use as part of a marinade for veggies to be roasted or after roasting, beets, celeriac, fennel, 🧅😁 Just a couple ideas off the top of my head, having never used the ingredient but eaten loads of wild garlic before so know what the raw seedpods and flowers taste like!

[@chnill2172]

FYI to everyone who is annoyed at the hosts. I’ve been friends with two people who are twins for 17 yrs now. This dynamic you see between them is sometimes what I experienced as a dynamic between my friends who are siblings. With the same age, they finish one another’s sentences, and there is a tangible excitement and communication level between that is intuitive/unspoken language of knowing, a childishness, as well as a dominance of the conversation as honestly... something that you just get used to. Anyone else who’s been around twins 👯‍♀️ can probably speak to this being a truth, lol.

It will be more efficient if you liquidise the mushrooms in the water then boil heavily, then put it through a coffee filter, then boil it down.

[@brucetidwell7715]

This just suddenly popped up in my video list! It's crazy. I can't wait try some of these ideas. I need to see if the rice cooker that I never use is perpetual, or on a timer. A crock pot should work for making black apples, too, if it doesn't get too hot. So, yeah, THANKS, guys! QUESTION: There was a big argument on another channel. Is it true that the kind of plastic wrap that pro chef's cook with is not ordinary... I guess over there it's "cling film?" We say "Saran wrap." Another unusual ingredient: If you don't know about it, go to the Townsend's page and check out their Mushroom Ketchup. It's more almost like Worchestershire Sauce and, OMG!, it's good. I take the mushroom sludge, dehydrate it and grind it up into spice powder that's even better than the liquid. Happy Holidays!

[@film9491]

Wait did he bake that first thing wrapped in plastic wrap? How did they not end up eating melted plastic?

Would be good to see a great chef using purslane in an ingenious way. Apparently it's high in omega 3 and quite easy to grow

[@lishr4536]

btw unless you guys are gluten free, why don't you use regular soy sauce? The wheat is an important part of the fermentation so it may be your new fav over tamari ! :)

[@lysdexic9129]

Perhaps you guys could incorporate the 'Mushroom Soy' in place of Tamari in future vidoes which would be a good thing. Seaweed, the sea literally offers it up to us :)

[@leanneevans3608]

not a great intro,screaming in guest ear then both brother's talks over him not cool !

[@lorrie2878]

Is the hay organic? Or super pesticide treated on the field? I live in America can't trust anything. BTW! I need a kitchen torch, family!

[@danims7329]

Like other people said before, shut up and let him talk! It's so frustrating to see how he isn't able to finish a sentence without any of you interrupting him. It's also pretty rude towards JP! Hope you take this constructive criticism for future videos with interesting guests, thanks!

[@enjacku]

That seaweed tho. Jealous American over here O.O

[@laurelsternberg5861]

Heating cling film? How can that be healthy? Sounds poisonous, seriously. Other than that these are very inspiring ideas.

[@pattheplanter]

If the foil is neatly tucked-in it should retain the moisture, I would think. I try to avoid baking plastic near my food 🤢

[@ceryseira]

Restaurant grade cling-film/plastic foil is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and is safe to cook in/with. Otherwise it depends on the circumstances and the brand you get for home use. The moisture (steam) on the cling film keeps the temperature from rising beyond boiling point, which also helps.
