I love the philosophy of encouraging creativity and intuition over following a recipe. I’m a massive recipe following person but I can appreciate this approach. It teaches you to develop your own style.

[@boomrawitchannel5535]

Agreee

[@ahmednaim1017]

Yes hundred per cent. I agree with you 😊

[@funsky77]

Yes, that was what mum always said to me! No recipe, come into the kitchen and look and learn!

@@funsky77 by thé way thé morroccan gastronomie is completely dealing with this way of creating good things : over the recipe... Stay safe

[@Mus3lm4nn]

I like your reasoning why you don't give the recipes with exact details! Exactly, that is cooking and not just imitating. Get to know the ingredients and how they behave in conjunction with others. Keep it up!

[@ChefMajk]

Thanks, I am glad you like my style. Because not all people can understand and like it

[@fhianampu6815]

I always watching your cooking style.. maybe you can write with the receip

[@DavidW27]

Yes, you learn more about the 'Kitchen Chemistry' of flavours, how to improvise, adapt, substitute.

[@hzlkelly]

My chef said if you follow a recipe you’re only as good as that chef. You must experiment and fail over and over but you’re also learning and teaching yourself what works and what doesn’t 🙌🏾 I carry that philosophy with me when I’m cooking. Still read as much as I can but I continue experimenting.

[@BiggerDreamer]

AS A CHEF I AM SOOOOO HAPPY YOU SAID THAT! Cooking needs to come from your actually experience and ideas..from your heart my friends ^_^ I watch you videos to get ideas and motivation.

[@MariaChicco]

Thank you.... the "no recipe" is an excellent idea, leaves room for creativity, imagination, inspiration, and one's personal signature. Beautiful plating.

[@paulshaughnessy11]

I love your approach to teaching! Totally agree that learning to cook requires experience and decision making (trial and error)

[@robertdavenport7802]

Love your 'think for yourself' philosophy of cooking.

[@yohannesemmanuelle]

Chef, you are the one that elevate my plating creativity to the next level, also the method of cooking,and garnish, thankyou so much chef

[@Kweesh]

I applaud your commitment to imparting knowledge rather than instructions.

[@recordman555]

Chef Majk - I want to express my appreciation for how you address recipe vs cooking. I believe it's a gift of intuition - or painstakingly learned over many years. Some people have it - some don't. This is why some are "good" cooks who can follow a recipe - and others go on to become great chefs.

[@ChefMajk]

I would say most people can be very good cooks, but they would have to learn a different way, as until now.

[@magdajaworska7070]

I just made it with wild garlic instead of spinach. Great plating! Thank you for another inspiration!

[@ChefMajk]

Good idea ;)

[@williamalberto1149]

Hermoso emplatado, gracias Chef!

[@MatthewRecko]

Thank you for not putting the recipes. I’ve become so much better through the trial and error. My purées are becoming 😎, and when I nail a dish, I feel so accomplished. Much love and keep keeping on, Friend.

[@CarlosRios-bh8mh]

U could not say it any better chef 100% agreed !!!!

[@claytonmoore163]

Chef you are an amazing chef I am a chef myself in the best restaurant in my area and I agree with you 100 percent but you have taken me from a good chef to a great chef and I have take. Things I've seen from you tried to replicate them in work and tried and changed things and it has made me a great cook so thank you thank you so much for being you

[@alexanderpeacock2974]

I really need to learn these skills from you chef Am texting from Zambia africa

[@wiliamperezrodriguez7590]

No conozco el nombre técnico de esta ballotine que en lugar de tener la farsa dentro, la tiene por fuera.... jajajajaja, quizás ballotine inverso.... jajajajaj. Pero la idea está genial, y el resultado es muy , pero muy atractivo y verdaderamente provoca deseos... es un llamado al apetito y que que nuestra boca salive. Admiro mucho los emplatados, muy finos y elegantes del Chef Majk, pero lo verdaderamente genuino de èl, es la combinación de salsas y cremas, como sus guarniciones. Es una joya disfrutar de la tecnica de sus elaboraciones. Y muy bien su explicación de las cantidades que no se especifican... no es dar o vender una receta... el objetivo es mostrar un ejemplo de como hacer... es una inspiración y un acicate a la pasión por cocinar y que sea un deleite el momento de ser servido con ese platillo.

[@RadiusCreative]

You are awesome Chef Majk, it is a pleasure watching your video and be an honour to learn from a man of your calibre

[@ChefMajk]

Thanks for support ;)

Probably the only one who says something like "I don't want to share how water I used cause you have to think and learn about that" tho is the same way I teach to my student at kitchen school

[@Sequinex]

Love your take on not sharing exact recipes, and agree 100% If you watch This channel you gotta have some feeling

[@deancuisine2571]

I’ve been advocating that for years. Excellent job!

[@wiliamperezrodriguez7590]

I don't know the technical name of this ballotine, which instead of having the sham inside, has it on the outside .... hahahahahaha, maybe reverse ballotine .... hahahahahahaha. But the idea is great, and the result is very, very attractive and really provokes desires... it is a call to the appetite and that our mouth salivates. I admire Chef Majk's very fine and elegant plating, but what is truly genuine about him is the combination of sauces and creams, like his garnishes. It is a jewel to enjoy the technique of his elaborations. And very well his explanation of the quantities that are not specified ... is not to give or sell a recipe ... the goal is to show an example of how to do ... is an inspiration and a spur to the passion for cooking and that it is a delight to be served with that dish.

[@wellennium2842]

[@donalddruker6010]

Would this work with salmon? Could you put a different kind of fish fillet in the center? Or would you need to encase the ballotine with a thin layer of puff pastry, like a Wellington?

[@gatnik3581]

Did you try this with fish? I want to try it as well, but my concern is that fish will flake too much when trying to cut the log into cilinders.

Just enjoyed a nice dinner, with your Chicken Ballotine as the main dish - this is really delicious - I wanted to enclose a little more meat inside, so I used 240g meat + a little more than 50g heavy cream (eye balled it). That made it easier to roll for me. I did not get a perfectly round shape as yours but that's what #lifegoals are for! ;-) THANK YOU, Chef! (I joined your Patreon site too)
