Where have I been ? This channel is exactly what I need ! Such a great chanel ! Im subscribing and following all ur socmed !

[@ChefMajk]

Great, enjoy ;)

[@JuneHarriseco]

I like some of the techniques, such as shaving solid white chocolate on the mousse

[@Ninjahat]

Thank you @Chef Majk 🙂 6:30 isn't it rather a whipped ganache than a mousse? Please explain the difference if you see this 🙂

[@ChefMajk]

Yes it is if you want to be precise

[@bglluvr]

Thank you. Is there a written recipe with the measurements and directions for us to follow? I’m very interested in making this.

[@ChefMajk]

Hello, there is no recipe and if you are watching my videos for longer time you see it is a standard. All recipes you need are in the video and step by step instruction. Point of this channel is to teach people to cook not let them watch 3 min from 10 min video and copy the recipe. If you watch hole video and think about what I am doing and why you should be able cook it yourself without recipe. If you just jumping throught the video you never gonna understand what is going on here. If you got any questions you can leave comment or dm me on instagram but written recipe never gonna be the way here ;)

[@bglluvr]

@@ChefMajk okay. I watched your video, all of it. Sorry that some people like printed ratios to make sure they are doing it properly. I can’t constantly pause a video while I’m prepping to make a dish. Wash hands, pause video, assemble, hit play, repeat. Sorry you feel it’s not appropriate but not all of us are professionals. Thanks for your version of “teaching”.

[@ChefMajk]

@Barbara McMahan Yes I understand your point. I will put any main ratios in description later on. But you don’t need that much recipes as you think, just taste your dish and adjust how you like it. There is not just one good way how to do it. You can experiment with food and put always something from you inside 🙂

[@matthewgarcia9494]

I absolutely love all of your videos

[@ChefMajk]

Thanks Matthew :)

[@MonkeyDLuffy319]

Hello Chef! Great Video, I actually made this dessert last night and everything turned out surprisingly well. The only thing i struggled with was the lemon jelly on the plate. the jelly set up just fine but when i blitzed it, it turned into liquid. can you help fix this issue?

[@ChefMajk]

Hello, yes because you did not put enough agar probably. Depend how thick you want your gel I put 10 grams per liter but some ingredients are different and you need put more. I used 13 grams for this gel and I think that is fine ;)

[@MonkeyDLuffy319]

@@ChefMajk Awesome thank you for the quick reply! i will experiment with ratios. Keep up the good content!

Absolutely Brilliant. the cauliflower soup and this one are going to be my xmas dinner . I have a stupid question, why did you cut the middle out of the Pear? firstly i thought you are gonna display on the dish,, sorry i am just curious about it. thanks Chef Majk

[@ChefMajk]

Because that part is not nice to eat so I took it out ;)

[@manuelherk3236]

hey majk, can you also make white chocolate mousse they way you do in the other video. With eggs, amaretto and double cream?

[@ChefMajk]

Yes sure

[@NishitaMalhotra]

Hey chef! Could you please tell the quantity of sugar you put in lemon gel? And the quantity of wine you used for poaching?

[@ChefMajk]

No I cannot. You can put how much you like. Learn to cook and taste your food, not just copying a recipes ;)

[@sergeyabramkin5034]

We don't celebrate Christmas, but for the New Year we cook honeycake with orange custard and matcha or just honeycake with bird cherry flour. It's like family tradition. But this time we'll cook both - a cake and your dessert. Thx, Majk

Great :)

[@iwatchvideos9376]

great recipe chef! two things though, i feel like i want to pipe something into the pair; just leaving it hollow feels a little empty. are there any flavors you recommend to compliment the dish? also are the pears and wine supposed to be served hot, cold, or room temp?

[@ChefMajk]

Yes I was thinking to pipe inside something as well, and then I leave it. But you can put more mousse inside. I would serve cold or room temp. Sauce cannot be cold for sure.

[@darthsidious8921]

I wondering,do you serve sauce cold or warm with cold pear???

[@ChefMajk]

Warm or room temp

[@darthsidious8921]

@@ChefMajk thank you for the answer 😊

[@nirmalandrews2809]

Hi chef..can we substitute/ use gelatin instead of agar agar in the lemon gel. If so is 12gm of agar = 12 gm of gelatin?

[@ChefMajk]

No agar and gelatine are not the same

[@nirmalandrews2809]

@@ChefMajk I don't have agar and I am trying to make the pear dessert for christmas. Should I just leave out the lemon gel. I only have gelatin powder or leaves. What should I do?

[@ChefMajk]

Just do it without a gel then. It will miss the sour element so maybe at least put more lemon juice inside a poaching liqueur ;)

[@nirmalandrews2809]

Thanks chef. I was also reading quite a bit on fluid gels. Thanks to your recipes, I am reading, studying, ane learning a lot of new techniques. I will do a side project of using 5-6% gelatin of the liquid amount to make the lemon gel and blending to make fluid gel. If it's not desired consistency, I will try adding very little xantham gum that I have. I will let you know how it turns out. Also I read that gelatin based fluid gel is a cold gel - cannot withstand heat. So when plating I will use a cold plate and let poaching liquid cool a bit (barely warm < 110C) before pouring it on plate so the heat will not melt the gel.

[@ChefMajk]

@@nirmalandrews2809 yes this dessert should be maximum warm not how sauce for sure. You can try this way, with xanthan it will work for sure just the gel get slimy consistency.
