A Traditional Christmas Dessert Bûche de Noël | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@johntownsend7320]

24:30 that face of shock and disgust, just over the thought that someone would not use butter makes this channel one of the best.

[@andrewmccartneyy6981]

What I like about you chef is you don't talk down to your audience, a highly regarded Michelin Star chef with the common touch who enjoys his work and is a pleasure to learn from, Merry Christmas my friend

[@chriscaillie967]

My French mother use to make this every Christmas. La Buche de Noel was always the epic conclusion to our Christmas dinner. She would make a base out of thick cardboard and cover the board with aluminum foil. The buche was then constructed on that board. She also sprinkled a generous amount of Grand Marnier unto the cake before to roll it. You brought back a lot of very nice memory with your cake. Thank you!

[@m.theresa1385]

My mum did likewise, even going so far as to make an entire winter scene on the board sometimes. Mum loved to bake. R.I.P. Mum

[@imageisn0thing]

I was thinking grand marnier would be a good addition😄

[@peppino1961]

This chef is absolutely hilarious and very talented. I’ve been cooking for years and I have learned so many things from watching his videos. Love him.

[@robertakerman3570]

Literally laffed when He said ...eat the whole thing. I hope He meant that slice(ha-ha).

[@AFKnaHSama]

29:09 is one hilarious moment Edit: of him saying We are going to leave it in 3 different ways

[@velocitygirl8551]

Do you know his name lol?

[@singing3495]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@robertakerman3570 39:53 😊 39:53

[@CruzCruz-nw7fi]

He’s hilarious 😂

[@kronos6948]

Chef had me laughing talking about the soft and hard peaks. You can see the look on his face that he was trying to keep the dirty jokes to himself. Love it!

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

He did that in the eggnog video as well. LOL.

[@MikehMike01]

right after the mixer came on the counter

[@alexe3574]

tried this recipe but soft peak was not easier to incorporate

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

I love this man ❤😅

Send those that complain to tic too if they want something quick. We watch to learn. Cooking is suppose to be fun not hurried. Take your time. Those of us who want to learn don’t mind. Those who complain don’t want to learn, you couldn’t satisfy them anyway.

[@BamaCyn]

How in 73 yrs did i not known you could make butter cream with sweetened condensed milk and omit confectionery sugar. Thank you, thank you❤ I love meringues and how to make mushrooms is such a cool trick. My daughters favorite is a crushed peppermint log. I will be using your sponge and buttercream on the next one i bake. I am so thankful i found your channel this week. I have a lot of catching up from the beginning. My husband ask, why i am smiling or laughing? I tell him i just found the greatest and funniest chef in the world. Your videos truly make my day and make my heart and face smile🥰

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@Claudia-up6hr]

Before I had to move into a nursing 🛌home, I alternated: one year a Buche de Noel🪵, the next a Croquembouche🔼. So much fun making those long, thin strands of spun sugar by draping them between the backs of 2 wooden chairs. Had to be fast🏃, no hesitation! Which meant lots of hot buttered rum, of course🧈🍵😂. Sorry about your friend, Chef. Lost my wonderful husband in May. This will be my first Christmas without him after 55 years.

[@Lazycat111]

40 minutes video,,, how cool is that... never felt bored to watch you chef,, hi to your team behind the scene..by the way you are 30k subscribers to 1M, i hope you make some special recipe to celebrate 1M subscribers, hope everybody agree with me, 👍💖

[@nicolesawford5548]

Hello Chef! I am so happy you are showing us how to make this Buche de Noel. This is what I was going to make for Christmas dinner dessert . A real French Canadian tradition here as well. Joyeux Noel Chef Jean Pierre!

[@robertakerman3570]

Wow

[@magm9719]

Absolument!! I wanted to make one too and here is my wish fulfilled 😊merci chef Jean-Pierre!

[@thomasr5121]

Another Canadian here, saw this video, now I gotta make it for Christmas dinner, thank you chef Pierre!

[@TheSirse]

Gosh, that looks amazing. This man is such a treasure, and his production team are equally wonderful.

[@socram321]

24:30 "Now, for those of you that don't want to use butter,..." [stops mid-sentence to express his utter disapproval]. I laughed out loud for way too long after that. I'm still cracking up as I write this. Love Chef Jean-Pierre! I don't ever want to get that look from him. LOL! EDIT: Now, the screenshot is my wallpaper.

[@theUcane]

RIP Chef Rob. I'm sorry for your loss Chef Jean-Pierre.

[@BiigDaddyDellta]

That face, "for those of you that don't want to use butter... 😮" Haha! What a good time this channel is.

[@bobjackson9717]

Thanks Chef for helping me step up my cooking. My adult children are starting to take notice of the food the old man is serving them during the holidays. All the best to you. Merry Christmas

[@Tanias112]

I made this as a birthday cake and my boys loved it, as did I! Didn't turn it into a log, just a roll. 220c is toooo hot a oven (maybe just mine), my sponge burnt, didn't taste the burnt at all, which was a save, it did crack as I was rolling it; couldn't tell it was cracked after icing it or after slicing it, it was absolutely beautiful to look at and to eat. I brought 500g butter (how we buy it in my country), thinking that's more than enough - which wasn't enough I found out on the day, so I just compromised, using less in both butter creams, I did use more in the chocolate even though less than what was required. Our country only sells 395g condensed milk, you couldn't tell that less was used. Since its summer here my butter was melting as I was making the butter cream (around 25c in my home), then when I tried to ice the sponge, it wasn't working as it was just too soft, so popped it in the freezer for a little while which helped. Once made couldn't keep it on bench, so popped it in fridge while I papered party food. Once we got to the birthday cake the butter cream was solid, not soft like icing - it certainly tasted very good. I would definitely make it again :D

[@waggypup99]

I love the Chef! I wish he would’ve have been my home economics teacher in high school. ❤

[@Nancy-ir4de]

🎄Seeing Chef Jean-Pierre create this beautiful thing LIVE on FB on Saturday was extra special and a lot of fun! I hope there will be more ‘live’ events in the future! Thank you, Chef!💕

[@RonBoger]

His live FB event was fantastic. I hope he and Jack do more live events on FB and YT.

[@petkoyanakiev244]

Man you are not nuts.You are genious in the kitchen! Chef du chefs ! Capo di tutti cappi!

[@AninoffsMagister]

12:08 chef just cast as spell over the cake… See I knew you were Magic!! 😜😂😂 I love his boyish enthusiasm. It is so endearing. You can see how much he loves what he is doing and how excited he is for the cake!!

[@wascallywabbit8940]

You had me at creaming the yolks! Now, I'm hooked.

[@peteypete593]

I hope this magnificent man makes it to a million subs before the year is out!

[@0cheeseburga]

I got put in charge of dessert for christmas this year, looks like the family might be getting a fancy french cake :P

[@DaniMacYo]

40 minutes of pure cooking enjoyment and Chef Pierre. What more could you ask for. ❤

[@ranger2055]

OMG!!!! That was hilarious!!! Soft peaks, hard peaks!!! Chef you are awesome!!!!

[@ninthsquarecommunity]

Who can ever forget the great Julia Childs and her Buche de Noel?! I have watched this being made countless times and I have never seen one really look clean and like a yule log...Chef Pierre did it! It looks lovely!! I have never and doubt I ever will make this I have no baking skill but I love to see it!!!! TY!!! 🎅🤶🌲

[@chadenright]

The best cake masseuse on KZbin!

[@servantshousecommunitychur2372]

My mom used to make a Buche de Noel every year. I always got to help decorate. This brought back wonderful memories.

[@aries182010]

I am your Pilipina Asian subscriber living in France,I looove and so much joy every time watching you because of your finesse and accent French English, Thank you Chef Jean to show how to make Buche de Noel with easy mushroom design to make,you gave me an idea for our dessert on Christmas and I am sure my French Son in-law will love this. Bonne Fêtes Chef! 🎉🎄🍾🥂

[@charleswise5570]

5 seconds after filming, Chef went over near the sink, and ate the extra buttercream, before the cameraman got a chance. 😂 Such a good soul!

[@clairehachey2189]

Making a Bûche de Noël is a French Canadian tradition for me, right down to making my own marzipan and all decorations by hand. It takes time but for those of us who enjoy cooking and baking, we make time. Joyeux Noël chef and a happy holiday season to all 🎅

[@Valtrach]

"You can rub this all over your body!!" Now I'm covered with chocolate, sauce and butter. Someone even bit me!!! 🙂 Great recipe Chef. Thank you.

[@Dommommy]

Sorry, you smelled divine😉😄

[@Valtrach]

@@Dommommy Lol! Maybe a new recipe for the holidays, then. With His recipes, why not? Tried some and they ARE divine. Happy Holidays.

[@RonBoger]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😆

[@tonyl4571]

Ahh yes, Christmas wood

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

A French Chef with a winsome personality reminds me of my dearly departed friend and mentor, Paul Champagne- brilliant and talented ! I was merely his apprentice in in 1982, r.i.p. Paul ! Merci Mon Cher Ami !

[@ianlaw6410]

I love to his guy. He is the Keith Floyd of French cooking.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 🙏

[@mkemusic4826]

I made this recipe for Christmas Dinner dessert yesterday- mushrooms and all!!! It was the talk and toast of the evening! The strawberries in the roll were perfect! The little kids, as I suspected, were in awe of the whole layout. I put the branch to the side instead of on top for transport purposes. I will be making it for Christmas's yet to come!!!! It tasted out of this world!!

[@SolWaid1965]

How cool is that!! I will have to try it sometime myself.

[@animalutz00]

I see the grater, oh boy oh boy, he's gona say it! Them DingDongs! Happy and blessed holydays everyone!

[@dalevecchio3000]

I am a HUGE Emeril Lagasse fan and watched HUNDREDS of the various iterations of his cooking shows. He was entertaining and a real joy to watch. But Chef Jean-Pierre, "my friends" is right up there! If the food network hadn't given up on cooking shows for silly contests, I'd recommend they sign this guy up for a live cooking show!

[@jcollins1305]

Anyone else think the ovens look like a giant robot head? Chef Jean Pierre really makes these dishes look easy which is the true sign of talent! Merry Christmas sir, and God bless America indeed!

[@angelaturbak8088]

Fabulous recipe and excellent instructions! Chef, I love your terminology! You are a joy to watch and there is no way your videos can be too long! Thank you for this recipe. I would NEVER have considered making this before your brilliant teaching video. I am going to try this for Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and yours! And to Jack - Merry Christmas and thanks for your great camera work!

[@joemurray8902]

Chef, I absolutely love you! I love your commentary! The wonderful references to butter, salt adding a little je ne sais quoi - I love it! Thank you for making my day!

[@joemurray8902]

I forgot! Merry Christmas everyone!

[@Dommommy]

⛄🎄Merry Christmas 🎄⛄

[@victorteran4879]

Excellent, excellent and wonderful, delicious dessert my dear friend chef Jean Pier Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful and interesting video

[@roribachcrazylegs]

A million subs are just around the corner chef! These awesome videos and your teaching style are the reason.

[@StacheTB]

This channel reminds me of Professor Duck from the Disney Channel meets Yan Can Cook and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!! Chef Jean-Pierre is fanatastic!

[@bengt_axle]

A wonderful bûche de Noël, with an accompaniment of some magic mushrooms. You must serve this up with some cognac!

[@redoorn]

The Chef is my kinda nuts. That makes learning much more fun. :-D

[@nadurkee46]

So,e things are more fun to EAT than make, and to me, this is one of them. I love it when others make it and then share it with me. Your’s looks just lovely, by the way and I can tell you love what you do. That’s magical.

[@rexannam2646]

That devious laugh he has when he mentions butter just cracks me up!!! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the laughter and light!!!✨️🌟

[@enigmarider5806]

Not doing anything complicated, well in a way, neither did Picasso! Thanks chef, and happy new year!

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

This is the "Piece de Resistance" of the Christmas feast! Thank you for this!

[@user-yz1dl3eu8l]

La pièce de résistance is generally the meat in the middle of the meal, not the dessert in France even in Noël.

[@amberlady2428]

24min 34 seconds is the exact moment of the funniest thing ever!!!😂😂😂

[@Bobster986]

His expression was priceless when he said, “ for those of you who don’t want to use butter”. 😂

[@Bobster986]

I don’t care what anyone says about Chef Jean-Pierre, I appreciate his genius. 😊

[@Arjun.365]

Best video yet on this channel.. Legendary!

[@micheandmikey]

OKAY!!!!! I've seen a LOT of cakes in my 49 years ...... but I've NEVER seen anything like this! That is AWESOME chef!!!! 😃👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👌Also, sorry for your loss, R.I.P. chef Rob 🙏Merry Christmas to you and yours chef!!!

[@Runsfrombears]

Thank you chef for sharing your childhood with us.

[@willtopper]

[@lindachick8889]

Merry Christmas Chef JP. I am compelled to tell you how much joy have brought me again this year. Wishing you and yours a very special Holiday Season. 🤶🎄

[@margaretfriend7208]

Merry Christmas, Chef. This is magnificent. Jack, thank you for your great work bringing chef's talents to us.

[@danielkilkenny963]

Chef, I love your teaching methods and recipes! I prefer your early videos, before you let the short, fast, tick-tack-tockers convince you that you need to shorten your videos. Please, go back to just being you, taking your time, and telling your stories. If someone wants shorter videos, they can speed up the playback speed. Thank you for letting me in your kitchen! Happy Holidays!

[@Vishalsinghyt1980]

This requires lot of skills and creativity. Chef is being humble when he says child can do this. This is not easy.

[@Rougebasque]

OMG Those mushrooms are to die for! Thank you for your precious tutorials ! This is wonderful.

[@mkemusic4826]

If I can pull this off on Christmas day to bring to my sister's house for dessert, all the little kids are going to be in awe!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

#RIPChefRob - thanks for the Buche de Noel recipe. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre and Jack for this great detailed video. I have watched several Buche de Noel recipes online but none with this much attention to detail. Thank you Jack for all the close ups and great camera work. Just a reminder Chef that I am really hoping you can show us a proper shortbread recipe for Christmas 2023.

Thank you 🙏

[@ordinacijamariomalnar197]

Génial les champignons!! Toute la famille fut impressionnée. Les enfants ont adorés de les faires et lors du souper de Noël, les grands-parents, oncles, et tantes ne croyaient pas que c'était fait maison.

[@stevenfaber3896]

Actually first time viewer of the channel. Can confirm the nuttiness is strong with this one, but when he says "I messed up a corner, just don't look at it" eh bien, ca c'est le meilleur type de noix.

Love it!! I made the mushroom today (needed 2 tries) - they look great. Tomorrow, la buche! Wish me luck!!

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than this log cake? And you know it's delicious, with all that butter cream. So pretty, I would almost feel sorry to cut into it. Almost.

[@mariasabstractart9203]

Gorgeous! I think I'll make this. Probably not this year, but definitely next year.

[@terrylawrence3726]

Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre. Your Christmas log is a good source of inspiration and ideas. I have been doing this several times and this is what I have changed in your recipe. First, we french people don't put too much buttercream because the cake becomes very heavy on your stomach and difficult to digest. Second the biscuit, should be a little bit soaked with some syrup (1 :1 water and sugar) plus a little bit (1 tablespoon) of grand mariner or any other other alcohol that you should put at the end while the syrup is still boiling to get the alcohol evaporated. If the cake is dry, it gets difficult to swallow. Third, if you put fruit in your log, it will last less longer and spoil quicker. Besides that Thank you again for sharing your recipe. I have made it and it is good. Cannot wait for tomorrow

[@nadiastired]

I love this guy! He is so fun! The world needs more of this positive, motivating influence. I'm so excited that I'm now off to make budda...his way though...easier than a churn

[@Kenopatra1435]

Oh my gosh I just love watching you. You are so funny.

[@poledra73]

Sorry for your loss Chef JP. Thank you for sharing a personal connection to the dish. Means alot.

[@ricblic901]

I love this guy, I see myself in the kitchen, by no means am I at this guy's level but a lot of "O Crap's" in the kitchen, but he has given me an idea for an ice cream dessert

[@sandyworkman3025]

Looks lovely Chef. Merry Christmas!😎 Nice thumb tool.

[@mynicksalreadytaken9407]

Thanks Chef for your videos and your sense of humor which, well, always goes down like butter, as we say. Made my first bûche this year with my grandfather's recipe (it got butter, rest assured), but as for the assembly, I couldn`t have done it without your video. Merry Christmas!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

👏👏👏👍❤️

[@topfeedcoco]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL cake Chef! Have a Merry Christmas, and CONGRATULATIONS on getting to almost 1 MILLION subs!!! Talent rises to the top quickly!

[@gg4gb1914]

I showed your videos to a FRENCH CHEF Award Winning and everything. So I see him once a month when I service the account. he is 70 years old and I told him "Vincent, turn your restaurant into a school." When I went back he told me that he really liked your videos and he really liked the idea of scaling down his business. So you have a Professional French Chef here in AZ that is a big fan.

[@essiefowler9775]

Fabulous Chef just love watching you and it’s fun 😘

[@marydenis6619]

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
