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

[@albertaenglish9786]

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.

[@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.

[@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😄

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@CruzCruz-nw7fi]

He’s hilarious 😂

[@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.

[@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 ❤😅

My Goodness! Those mushrooms are absolutely adorable.

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

[@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

[@terrywade6172]

Thanks! I made this last year and it blew away the folks at work during a potluck gathering. It was perfect

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you very much!! You are a rock star! ❤️👍🙏

[@GhetiSha]

"The granulated stuff, I can squeeze them! ....but I don't want em" lol. Delightful as always

[@TheSirse]

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

[@ianlaw6410]

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

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 🙏

The best cake masseuse on KZbin!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@nannyturtle7342]

I made a yule log cake yesterday. So good. But it was not exactly like his. For the filling it had a coconut pecan icing like most people put on a german chocolate cake. But I did use his cake recipe. Wonderful cake. A couple minutes after I took it out of the oven, I flipped it out onto a tea towel and removed the parchment and rolled up the cake, as that does work a heck of a lot better warm. Then I made the chocolate buttercream and waited for cake to cool. It does cool surprisingly fast.

[@Bobster986]

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

[@servantshousecommunitychur2372]

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

[@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, 👍💖

[@Bobster986]

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

[@DaniMacYo]

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

[@paracmd]

Dear Jean Pierre, Merry Christmas, I just presented this cake to my family and we loved it .. Thank you so much ...

[@0cheeseburga]

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

[@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 !

[@Food_Enthusiast777]

Chef Jean, I like you for you 😊. I’m a Chef in training. In my 3rd semester of culinary school and I love it! So far GPA status is a 4.0 .

[@markcummings6856]

Incredible work. Thanks Chef.

[@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!

[@ShinyFeral]

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

[@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!

[@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!!! 🎅🤶🌲

[@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!!!

[@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 🎅

[@michellelopez3866]

Yule celebration treat very yummy homemade from scratch ❤

[@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!

[@rexannam2646]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@willtopper]

ha ha... some of us long time subscribers say 'this guy is a nut' .... and that is why we watch... you make cooking fun and attainable. with delicious results

[@roribachcrazylegs]

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

[@Vishalsinghyt1980]

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

[@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!!

[@petkoyanakiev244]

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

[@marthamason3309]

Joyeux Noel! 🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@wascallywabbit8940]

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

[@waggypup99]

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

[@NefariousMinds]

Those mushrooms are awesome!! They looked extremely real,... bruises dirt, and the open vail... Wow!!!

[@ranger2055]

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

[@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!

[@poledra73]

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

Did this Bûche last year, the only thing I changed was adding some chocolate chips in the log by my kid's demand, it was soooo good! I got so many compliments on it, doing it again this year!

[@aries182010]

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.

[@FodorPupil]

An excellent massaged cake, maestro! Looks fantastic.

[@LeCaptainInsano]

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.

[@jmoodaachefjoe6368]

JP does it again, another winner! You could a whole week of just baking.

[@dwz7q1962]

Thank you Chef! I now have homemade beef none broth, chicken broth, and clarified butter. My kitchen is becoming well stocked!

[@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

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

Beautiful ❤especially the mushrooms 🍄 so beautiful

[@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.

[@veryberry-]

I made this yesterday. People were blown away by this desert. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre!

[@russh6414]

Chef, your amazing sense of humor makes this recipe look easy. Yeah, you are going to pull it from the refrigerator and let the buttercream warm up. In my case it mine would never make it to the refrigerator!

[@bengt_axle]

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

[@paulgerber6723]

My mom use to put ground hazelnuts in the cake and soak it with rum before the roll. So good...

[@victorteran4879]

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

[@ronstarkronstark500]

Very bold to make this! Breaking cake is easy too. It looked wonderful without refrigeration. Bravo! You even did the mushrooms!
