Julia Child is Showing Off with this Frankenstein Chicken Dish

[@jdub1371]

The reason Julia mentions that this particular crust is edible is because there are certain pastry crusts used to encase meat pates that are there only to protect the pate and not meant to be eaten. I read somewhere (maybe MFK Fisher) that this caused so much confusion for Americans visiting France who tried to eat the pate crust that many chefs switched to using edible crusts for their pates.

[@rosezingleman5007]

Yes, I remember that in MFK Fisher too.

[@TexasPQ1]

Good to know! Thanks!😊

[@brissygirl4997]

You're right. Things like salt dough aren't edible because of the extreme amounts of sodium but are used to help protect the meat while it cooks.

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

Yep, big ol mouthful of salt paste is not a lovely experience at all 😂 found that out the hard way myself

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

Inedible crusts are a very old technique; theu not only protect the meat while cooking, but can serve as a container to protect the contents from exposure until it's time to eat.

[@AeternaXIX]

I have an eating disorder, and watching your videos while I eat my meals makes it so much easier thanks to you. I watched every single julia child episode, and it's such a good time watching you cook and improve with each release. You make it so entertaining and beautiful that you're keeping the legend of julia alive. We love you! I'm going to rewatch each episode now, don't worry, I'm not driving ;)

In any way I can help and be there for you through these videos, I’m there! You got this👊🏻 and thank you for the support! :)

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

It's probably bad form, but before discovering this young man I watched another KZbin chef, Jean Pierre. He's an older man, but does a similar format, and he's adorable. AND ...I've always felt he was channeling Julia!

A little dirt (among other things) builds character, I'm still no-wash gang.

[@plinkozoinks7526]

Hi Jaimie! You can also often use a really soft flexi spatula (like a Rubbermaid, or maybe your Charlie Brown one) to turn pages in a book. Keep the spatula end clean and touching the book, and the handle end touching your hands. Then you only have to wash the spatula and not your hands every time! The spatula can also be poked into the book to hold it open sometimes.

[@DominicNJ73]

That is a brilliant tip. Never occurred to me to do that while cooking.

[@johnnyboy0912]

Jamie, i love that you can stop the process and make corrections but even more that you show us the corrections and mistakes in any video that has them. i really appreciate you and i think your channel is great for new and experienced cooks to show that everyone can have problems with a recipe but they can often be remedied.

[@rulerofeden]

As Julia said and demonstrated on her TV shows, making mistakes is not only natural, but it happens even to experienced chefs like her. The key is to keep your chin up and learn, which Jamie always does. Jamie and Julia both inspire me to be a more adventurous cook because they're not afraid to learn!

[@Hollis_has_questions]

I'll never forget the time Julia misjudged her omelet flip, lost a good portion of it, and just picked up the pieces and fit them back in the pan with the rest of the omelet. There and then I decided that I would NEVER eat at her house again! If ever invited, that is 😂

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Once you start playing with a saucier, you never go back. I use mine (an inherited copper All-Clad) nearly every day.

[@Marcella12610]

I have watched Jamie for a long time now. I am an old lady cook, and I felt such affection for him during this video, but I don't know why. Maybe because he works so hard to do things right along with his persistence and fearlessly allowing us to see him do things over. 🐔🍷

[@myriamvancalenbergh295]

Same here !

[@lnbjr7]

I recently stumbled across a very simple and effective way of pealing garlic cloves. Separate your cloves, place them on a saucer and put it in your microwave. Heat for 7 to 10 seconds, they will be hot! Squeeze one end and they slide our so easily! Thank you Jamie!

[@krisbeahn490]

I really appreciate when you come to the end of a dish, and find it to be tasty, but also declare it to not be worth the effort. Thanks for taking that one for the team.

[@donnatozer9099]

So much work for a chicken pot pie with a twist. I love it when you do these complex dishes and then redo them and on a few occasions redo them again. Shows you're human and really trying to get the dish. Once again a great lesson. I'm also glad to see your subscriptions number climbing. That's 314K of us that love what you do.

it's absolutely too much work for a chicken, but that look with the pastry was amazing and the stuffing I bet was delicious. well done again Jamie! Redoing the pastry really saved it all for the best! and congrats for the sponsor, well done!

[@dnebdal]

Chicken used to be a little bit of a luxury, I think? Not quite up there with duck and goose, but I think roasting a whole chicken was a bigger deal deal in 1953 than it is in 2023.

[@SandraSealySeawomanBDS]

I agree this is a lot of work (for any protein) and intimidating but so much fun watching you make it.😃

[@jayleno2192]

Jacques Pepin always says to wash mushrooms, but make sure you do it right before you use them and not ahead of time. If it's good enough for Jacques it's good enough for me.

[@rebel4466]

For French, the last letter of a word often doesn't matter. "Saucier" is "Saucié" basically. "Sauciere" would be "Saucier". Doesn't always work, but is a decent enough rule of thumb for the average person, who doesn't need to actually speak the language. A Saucier is a guy in French kitchens, who is responsible for all things Sauce and stew. Very specialized, but extremely important for the brigade.

[@partituravid]

good way to explain it. Although being Canadien, he should know ;-)

[@josephwade8593]

I have made something like this 20+ time And the biggest tip I have ever gotten was.. put the stuffing in the fridge overnight before stuffing

[@PatBerk]

Lard, in pastry dough, makes the crust crisper. You'll see lots of pie dough recipes that include Crisco/lard.

[@partituravid]

Holy crap! My hero. From one in upstate Manhattan whose local grocery has no truffles, and is too lazy with too small a kitchen. Bravo.

[@theopolisIII]

i love how you include the trial and errors of the pastry dough

[@JourneytoGao]

Whenever I see a recipe with "pastry," I jump under the covers shaking and whimpering.

But if you power through it a few times, the magic moment comes when you just suddenly understand, and then you enjoy it.

[@jeanniewarken5822]

I make it by hand. If you freeze your fat(butter/lard) and grate it into the flour it requures minimum effort for a great result

[@gregs2284]

One of the tips I saw on a cooking show is when rolling out pastry dough to start from the middle and work forward and back. If you start on the near end then by the time you get to the far end you're trying to move too much dough too far and it tears but if you start in the middle you are evening out the pulling and halving the amount of dough you're trying to move

[@tomhalpain3787]

Jamie, you should look at a cookbook I still use. It taught me a lot of techniques and how to take a base recipe and use it to make something completely different. It is the 1956 edition of the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook. It has photos for the steps of the recipes. It has recipes from lobster Thermidore to sour milk donuts (which are amazing). I think it would be a good addition to your cookbook collection.

[@sandracassinelli5874]

Yes! Put the chicken/ stuffing in the fridge!!!

[@BigHenFor]

All lard is pork lard, and half butter half lard makes lovely a crispy pastry.

[@AnonymousMusing]

I appreciate that Jamie has made so many dishes that he's developed a gut feeling that allows him to make corrections before the point of no return.

[@kimotte5403]

I always felt guilty for washing my mushrooms. After this, there will be no guilt. Thank you, Jamie.

the whole time you were making the pastry, I was screaming, refrigerate the chicken, refrigerate the chicken. Anytime you work with pastry Cold is your best friend.

[@philgower]

Your videos always make me smile through the entire class. I do look at them as cooking classes with do's and don'ts. I cooked for 40 years in restaurants, and I always washed my mushrooms.

[@susieq0666]

So happy to see you've got a sponsor... take note companies! Well done, you have waaaay more patience than I have for pastry😅

[@Jupiter0ne]

Way back when, when Food Network used to have cooking shows, my favorite was Good Eats with Alton Brown. He did an experiment on washing mushrooms, measuring the water before and after washing and showed that mushrooms absorb a negligible amount of water when quickly swished in water. I've been washing ever since. Even though I know I won't die from consuming a bit of the growing medium used for mushrooms, feeling that grit between my teeth would just ruin my meal.

[@kerryday]

I love making my pastry with lard. The pastry is much easier to handle, and lard is far less expensive than butter. Ease of handling not only saves wear and tear on one's nerves, there's less time for gluten to develop, toughening the crust

I have used butter and lard for pastry for 60 years. I worked in a resturant and washed 30 lbs. of mushrooms then sliced them. They would last in the cooler for a week.

[@annakout]

I feel instantly validated when you wash your mushrooms because I’ve been doing the same ever since I started cooking at 13 yrs old.

[@SaeSo83]

Truly love how you persevere, Jamie. Great job 😋

[@Dabednego]

"This Dough is also good to eat" isn't that odd of a statement when you realize that for much of history most pastries weren't really for eating, they were just there to hold the filling in.

[@lindahikes2760]

I'm not sure why I like your channel. I think it's bc you keep everything so real. Mistakes and all. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@jasonneste]

Your stuffing was loose because you used freshly cooked rice. If the rice had cooled completely first, it would have been more firm. Also, the pastry only went bad because the hot rice was still releasing moisture, and it had nowhere to go but into the pastry dough. Lastly, the truffle flavor was missing because you didn't follow the recipe. 😂

[@WolfGoddess77]

I wonder, rather than normal white rice, could you substitute the stickier sushi rice, instead? If it has a tendency to hold together to begin with, could it make the stuffing more solid, too?

[@AMAggie07]

I thought that the rice looked too wet when he took it off the stove, so that may have also contributed.

[@VickiTakacs.]

Lmao. True.

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Exactly. Julia should have put it in the instructions 😅

[@zevrxn]

i don't think even cooling down could save that rice. you can't go back once your rice turns that level of mushy.

If you have a pencil with an eraser tip, you can use it to flip pages in stead of washing hands every time.

[@joannesf46]

Just love you! Couple tips. I would copy pages of the recipe from the book and hang them in linear fashion in a convenient area to easily read...and highlight key points to remember. I would also on a separate piece of paper list and number the steps. Highlight keep points, also. Ziplock bags are better for marinating anything. But I also don't want you to change!!

Every time you’re making pastry I worry about how warm it is in your kitchen. 😆 I never really considered that until the time I made a buttercream frosting in the summer…in Texas heat. 😆 It was a slimy mess. After that, I’d crank up the ac before making temperature sensitive recipes. 🙂✌️

[@vernieplummer5148]

I'm so glad I finally found a new video of your series. I have some advice. You need to stop holding your spoon over your dish when you measure vanilla, wine, etc. There is no time when you want an accidental half bottle of vanilla in anything. Just move over a cup or bowl and pour into your spoon, then turn and put it in. I am a chef. I'm very impressed with the way you have improved over time. Also your choice to occasionally take things apart and do it over is wonderful. You are doing so well, and don't worry I have ever met a single person who likes aspic LOL.

If anyone buys something from made in that is the buy if you are cooking for 1-4 people. I have all the sizes of sauciers they offer but I use the 3qt the most.
