Alice Waters VS Thomas Keller Masterclass - Who Is The Better Chef?

[@LouisPetrides]

Enrol in the Alice Waters or Thomas Keller MasterClass here: bit.ly/3QovJJp

[@darrenernest]

Both were amazing. Thomas Keller teaches refinement in cooking and lots of skills you can apply at home. Alice winters makes great dishes, some techniques and a philosophy to bring to your cooking. It’s not either or, it’s definitely both.

This is the work of the Lord. I experienced a big loss not too long ago and was looking for something to take my mind off of it and started to wonder about which one of these I should buy. And low and behold, I see this. I haven't watched it yet, but I just want to say thank you so much for it!!

[@LouisPetrides]

Apologies for the big loss. I hope you enjoy the class and get value from it. Merry Christmas Cardion 🎅

We LOVE the Alice Waters Master Class to inspire the very LOVE of food and how to approach it with all your senses and respect for the food and the people who grow or produce it for you. Thomas Kellar is just the master of method and technique and you can never have enough technique in you kitchen repertoire, both are very different but very inspirational.

[@LouisPetrides]

Absolutely! Thank you so much for the positive response to this Masterclass review. Im glad you see why I created this comparison because both chefs are so different.

[@DJ-gg1mx]

This is a very eloquent, excellent review and comparison. I was looking for the Xmas gift for my daughter that wants and needs nothing, however being raised by an "old world" mom she was taught how to cook from the early age. This summer she got into a fine dining restaurant kitchen as a prep-staff member and is advancing, finding her passion regardless of her degree in Environmental Science. I am happy to see her on her way to discovering where happiness lives when it comes to professional life. Thank you very much. I have decided to go with Alice Waters class.

[@LouisPetrides]

Amazing story Dragana. Both of you will love Alice Waters. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@DJ-gg1mx]

@@LouisPetrides Marry Christmas to you as well, Louis :)

[@babyhausify]

thanks for this comparison, it really helped me decide which to watch!

[@digigoliath]

Great review! First time I've heard of Alice and this review is a very good introduction.

[@LouisPetrides]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my Masterclass review. Let me know how you go with it.

[@amgrob]

Did both, loved Alice for her style but learned absolutely nothing. TK, I learned so much.

[@LouisPetrides]

Excellent to hear Anthony!!

[@sherryschultz3544]

Good job. I know what I want now.

[@SuperMangalia]

Thanks! Exactly what I needed.

[@LouisPetrides]

You're welcome! I still think the Alice Waters MasterClass is the best cooking education out there.

[@Bragglord]

Before even watching the video (which was useful, by the way, thanks), I notice the title: it asks the wrong question. It shouldn't be "who is the better chef" (it's 100% Keller, btw), but "who is the best teacher".

[@LouisPetrides]

Good point!

[@eylab1541]

But, you know, we KZbinrs live under the tyranny of SEO.

[@jantomiak4244]

What masterclass of all cocking classes would you recomend for a university student and cooking enthusiast? So one that teaches you how to make good food but does not require a large ingredients budget

[@LouisPetrides]

Both Thomas Keller and Alice Waters Masterclass will be fine. If I had to pick one for you, Alice Waters.

[@noblelies]

Thomas Keller: Food is nurturing. Food is heritage. Food is luxury. (Rich's table man) Alice Waters: Food is rehab. Food is healing. Food is humbling. (Poor man's table)

[@Unclejohntyskitchen]

Great video thanks

[@LouisPetrides]

Happy to make it Gareth! Let me know how you go with the masterclass. :D

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

From the 70's rather than go to the farmers market I went to see what was ripe in my organic garden... to the goat shed and see about production ( to much = cheese) or wait and see what game or fish was brought home from the field and woods by me or my husband...I wonder could I learn from Alice Waters....

[@ninaagabian978]

It would also be so helpful to know what each of the 36/22 videos address....a table of contents maybe?

[@LouisPetrides]

Hey Nina, there's a table of contents if you go to their website. (Link in the description) I'll have a complete masterclass review for both of them to go into this detail. But I hope this masterclass video helped out. :D

[@stevenrojas3587]

As a chef, get Thomas Keller’s hands down. He teaches technique

[@LouisPetrides]

I think it depends on the type of chef you are which will help to make the choice in which Masterclass to get. Thanks for liking my review.

[@rakansayegh7011]

@a name it depends on you. Ramsey shows you amazing recipes while Keller teaches you techniques and how to make any recipe your own by knowing the fundamentals of cooking and WHY techniques are done in a certain way

[@ninaagabian978]

If you are a pretty accomplished home cook can you go straight into the Keller advanced course? online

[@LouisPetrides]

For sure, Thomas Keller's Masterclass will help if you are an accomplished home cook. He will give you structure - like the Gordon Ramsay Masterclass. And it goes the other way as well. If you are a professional chef and know all the mechanics of cooking works. Then I'd say go for the Alice Waters masterclass. Thank you for commenting on this review.

[@elkewheeler]

How long are each of the segments, on average? 5 /10/30 minutes?

[@LouisPetrides]

Around 15-35 minutes each.

[@jjfalstaff]

Read Anthony Bourdain's essay on AW. It's enlightening. And she would've gone nowhere without Jeremiah Tower.

[@cannonbalz]

Thomas Keller 9 Michelin stars. Alice Waters 0 Michelin stars. Thomas is a teacher, Alice is a romantic. I have all access and watched them both and Alice gave a lot of great info but, I Don't think she'll do another Masterclass while as Thomas has done three and has just scratched the surface of what he has to offer. The third Masterclass by TK is the best of all the masterclass series.

[@bonzainews]

You know I'm voting for Thomas Keller...

[@LouisPetrides]

Did the Thomas Keller Masterclass influence you at all? Ohh god, what are my masterclass reviews doing!

[@sprayzzz5545]

world class can not be compared at this level its a gift home economist vs chef brilliance can not be emulated its the same animal just a differant course of execution

[@csizmadiam]

I will say Alice Waters all the way. While Thomas Keller is undoubtedly a great chef, I find his presentation style rather dry and a lot of what he does is utterly impractical for a home cook. Perhaps it would be fair to say that the Thomas Keller masterclass is about cooking for its own sake and the Alice Waters one is about eating and living well.

[@paulfienga9466]

Thomas

[@meysaknz1735]

Thomas, you are great, but I am higher😊🥘

[@LouisPetrides]

Higher? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvZhqOHfqZoa7M

[@chenzhang19]

So pity they are not a couple

[@LouisPetrides]

Imagine being their children and eating their food every day! Alice Waters is such a polite soul.

[@Prioris9]

I've been in the business for decades, known of Chef Keller before most even before moving not far from the French Laundry. I knew of Ramsay before he was on TV. What I don't understand is who this woman is. I have literally never heard of her and that is why I clicked on this video. I thought who in the world is this youtuber comparing to arguably the best chef of our time. I still don't get it. It's like comparing a dirt track weekend racecar driver to an F1 or Nascar driver in my opinion. I don't see the comparison. Sorry.

[@LouisPetrides]

No problem at all Prioris9. Just because you don't know Alice Waters Masterclass. It doesn't mean she's not a credible American chef deserving of having her own Masterclass. She has a unique style of cooking when compared to traditional chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Kellers, or Wolfgang Puck. This is why I believe the comparison is that much more valuable than If I compared Gordon Ramsay to Thomas Keller. 1:21 I answer this as well. -- Thank you for the comment. Let me know if you end up getting the Thomas Keller Masterclass.

[@auderobinson]

Alice Waters gets little respect from chefs. Justly so. Check out Antony Bourdain's books to get the full story. I would never pay for a class from her

[@LouisPetrides]

What exactly happened? She teaches like an angel.
