I genuinely love this man!! 😁😁 he is so passionate, the way the tomatoes bothered him 🤣🤣 and I was thinkin “he’s rolling that like he’s gonna smoke it” and...he said it 🤣🤣🤣 he is the best

Your daily dose of (caramelized) ONYO. But in all seriousness, great as always, will try.

[@Silver-cl2bd]

This popped up on the perfect day, VALENTINE'S DAY! 2023 Thank you, Chef! My husband and I will be making this for lunch. ❤️ Don't worry, we won't smoke the basil. 😂

[@BR-ur2gk]

Ive never seen so much passion about a tomato selection - love the attention to detail, really makes the difference in the final flavor, best cooking classes, great humour A+

[@Fszb]

“yess sirr” your a living legend. Its an honor to have found your channel man

[@mindyxm]

Not only are your recipes amazing, but I really appreciate that you always make your own condiments from scratch and make a point of not wasting food. I get upset when watching cooking shows sometimes and they'll cut a third of an item and blatantly leave the rest to go in the bin 🥲 love your channel!

[@OUigot]

The passion you have is quite rare in chefs today. I love that you wouldn't move that sliver of basil because it could mess up the presentation of the plate, and your frustration with the tomatoes matches my frustration with today's grocery products. Beautiful presentation....

I live in Calabria, southern Italy. We have the best buffalo mozzarella! I can’t wait to make this dish! You are so entertaining, amusing, but especially informative. I have learned so much from you. Grazie.

[@geo34south]

Dear Chef, I’ve been away in Europe (tried a few Italian recipes - street food and restaurant) in Berlin, always comparing to your high standard but it did not disappoint. I had downloaded many of your videos so I could watch them on the long plane journeys and that included this one which was just right for a coming-home light meal. I love Caprese but now I will only make it this way with the caramelised onion (well I substituted with shallots but it was divine). I imagine the simpler a dish, the more complicated it becomes to achieve perfection, much like aglio ‘e olio.

I live a few blocks away from Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and get the best cheeses from CASA DELLA MOZZARELLA. The tomatoes are grown in the neighbors backyard and they have several different varieties along with a beautiful herb garden. One of the very few good things about the Bronx is the food.

[@NebRadojkovic]

My dear Chef Jean-Pierre. I have to say that you became somewhat of an idol to me. I really enjoy cooking and at 62 it seems that I am enjoying it more and more every day. Most of all I can thank my mother. However, it became a hobby, a time for me, a sort of meditation with a very tasty result. I really love macaroni and cheese and I made and tried many versions of it. However, your way is, to this day, the best tasting in my opinion. I wanted to thank you for showing me and everyone else, your tricks of the trade, and for unselfishly sharing your passion with us. Everything I tried from your repertoire I was pleasantly surprised with. I am looking forward to many of your future videos. Warmest regards, Neb

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Ciao, Chef Jean-Pierre. Today , I watched your channel for the first time, thanks to a friend's recommendation. I do enjoy cooking and now have plenty of time to indulge in new delights. Tomato salad with basil and mozzarella is a fantastic summer treat. Here's the thing - caramelized onions ?! IMHO: INSPIRED! So many enjoyable moments await!

[@glenmoss02]

Great video Chef. I made your caramelized onions a few weeks back and they were amazing. Now I can't wait to add them to this recipe because I'm sure the onions will take it to a whole new level. I agree, though, that tomatoes are the key to success. Thanks again. 👍

i couldn't find JP faced tomatoes and have used some sun-ripened San Marzano tomatoes instead. Hope you don't mind :-) Also added a pinch chili flakes to the ubiquitous caramelized onions. Love the way you actually point out all the details of what you are doing without being pedantic and leave some room to the viewer to 'measure carefully ' and discover his own road to perfection. Thanks for your time, have learned a lot from you.

[@tootsie3612]

I love mozzarella and tomatoes with some basil leaves. I live in NJ. We have a special marinara with Jersey tomatoes. Sometimes I'll splurge and get a jar of it. They sell it in a couple of grocery stores in my town in south Jersey. I have some lemon boys and some pink early girls. Some little sun sugars too. Yummmy. I just walk around checking out the garden, eating them tomatoes like an apple. I'm from Florida though. Homegrown tomatoes there are delicious. We always had a good sized garden when I was a kid. My father has quite the green thumb. Between him and my MawMaw, my mom's momma, I was fortunate to get a green thumb too.

This is the perfect recipe at the perfect time. I just made some caramelized onions last night. Thanks chef!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@Visitkarte]

I rerun your complaints about the bad tomatoes three times. This is the genuine Italian in you, lamenting the bad tomato quality. I so feel you, because it’s been so hard to get decent tomatoes in Switzerland (I come from a country where every tomato was so tasty, you could eat them from the plant like an apple). Luckily, lately, we really got some new, tasty tomatoes - mostly the small sized ones, but there are also bigger tasty tomatoes to be had since 2-3 years. Before, I always sounded like you.

[@jjaa6157]

I live north of Buffalo, New York, and we have many farmer's markets in the area. We also have a number of stores with those heirloom tomatoes. I am sure your store has them.

That is a master piece antipasto. I had caprese salad often when I was in Italy last fall but they dont use caramelized onions. They should watch your channel chef.

[@carimyfashion]

What a guy Chef! I learned about tomatoes and Buf Mozzarella! Thanks Chef.

[@l.p.7585]

We had caprese salad as part of a Christmas spread in the staff dinner at an Italian restaurant I used to work at. Compared to all the other stuff with anchovies and oysters, caprese was something I could actually stomach. The whole team was Italian except for me and some of the casual wait staff, and we all had the same issue, so we ended up having to share! Stil an absolutely delicious way to eat, on the side of some pizza or a shared pasta plate.

[@Batvolle]

oh yeah my carmalized onion! I did them and absolutely loved em!

[@DaMoli]

Jersey Garden Fresh Tomatoes are GREAT, it must be the ancient sea bed/sandy soil, but you can buy tomatoes on the vine in the store and they are not as good but they do have more flavor and color than regular store bought tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are a good alternative for they are usually sweeter and have better color. A little sugar on a tomato or added to can tomatoes can help concentrate the tomato flavor on the taste buds. After a couple glasses of wine no one can taste the difference unless your Jean-Pierre - 💖 😂

[@derbigpr500]

I get my tomatos from the shop in my garden, and they're so sweet and juicy I eat them like apples.

[@cliftonortat513]

I don't know which product is most difficult to find in Florida grocery stores: Buffalo Mozzarella, or good quality tomatoes. I've heard from former New Jersey residents that the "Ugly" brand of tomatoes at Publix are good, however I never used them in my recipes. That said, at least I know where to get Buffalo Mozzarella if a Whole Foods opens up near my home in FL. Thanks for the tip and another great video, JP!!
