[@panathasg13]

you are amazing man. thnx

[@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840]

Honestly if teaching doesn't work out for me I will become a chef. I been cooking since I was a kid its my natural born talent. I don't have any formal training but I have took a food science course during high school at a college level to learn more about food. My professor was impressed I knew how to use the oven and stove easily. If I can't be a teacher I will be a chef

[@numbersletters2920]

Thanks i would love to take these skills home with me.you bring joy to the world.bring the world to north and south America.

[@DavinaPBTP]

Jacob Burton thanks for your time; GRRAT info. Appreciated!

[@xDomglmao]

Would you be interested to try (for free) salt from a Greek island's salt lake? I would love to hear your opinion!

[@sillydude61]

I've been cooking for 6 months and all I've been looking for was someone who teaches me how to create a dish instead of replicate one without understanding the fundamental flavour combinations and techniques. I've been smiling all throughout the video because this is exactly it

[@lelandwhitehead56]

Another channel to recommend for similar bottom-up instruction is Ethan Chlebowski. One of his videos gave me the confidence to try something somewhat out of my comfort zone, and crushing it the first time because I understood rather than imitated was an amazing feeling.

[@CBoutdoors_and_wilderness]

I think i have watched literally thousands of hours of culinary instruction (which are all basically the same "cook this way"), THIS Video in your lecture series has been one of the BEST which I have ever seen. Actually explaining, not only the how, But why. One the most informative, thank you

[@JacobBurton]

Dave MacPherson thank you Dave. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@xDomglmao]

@Dave can you recommend similar videos?

[@cookingacc5230]

@xDomglmao another great to watch is Chef Jean Pierre on KZbin

[@danielm4114]

When a guy starts a culinary lecture with a story about how a single food item changed his life, you know they take their craft with a seriousness others can only dream about. Great videos, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge in such a precise way.

[@adaptwithai]

It's called a bootcamp

[@rahkido]

This video was a breath of fresh air... 1. Learnt about flavour. 2. The 5 flours: salt, sour, sweet, bitter and umani/savory. 3. Learnt A LOT about salt.

I am new at cooking. I tried it during my teenage years (I'm now 25) and gave up because I thought I "naturally" sucked. I've watched this 3 times since late December and have been implementing what you've been teaching in this series. Suddenly, my cooking is starting to taste better. THANK YOU.

Chef in my opinion the best part of this amazing course is when you said (and thank you for saying it) Pepper does not need to go in every dish. At that point I sat back and said YES I AM NOT CRAZY.

[@sir_unsk_9616]

imagine carrying about what others think to the point that u need stop a video like that and say YES IM NOT CRAZY lmao like who cares even if u don’t like pepper in ANY dish, is YOUR cooking and YOUR mouth, u would really use stuff only because other use it? 🤡That’s why this planet looks like it looks like omfg 🤦‍♂️

Imagine stopping the video and taking time from your life to just bash another person for their comment 😂 Yikes 😬 Need some milk?

[@cultfrenzy6737]

Imagine imagining things

[@haroldhenderson2824]

If a flavoring does not dissolve in your saliva, you can't taste it. You might smell it, but you won't be able to taste it. Acids help to "break" the flavors out of oils/fats by making a water soluble compound from things that might otherwise stay in the oil.

Wow this was incredibly informative! As someone who is relatively new to cooking but has always been interested in the science aspect of food, this video is just what I was looking for. In depth resources like this are hard to come by, especially one without a hefty price tag next to it. I can’t wait to take my new learned knowledge to the kitchen. Thank you Jacob, I can’t wait to watch more videos on your channel.

[@JacobBurton]

Thanks Meg, glad you enjoyed this video. I've also released the next two lectures in this series, S is for Sauce and T is for Technique. You can find them when you search by title. All the best.

[@migueloliveira9725]

I totally agree! Thank you for an amazing video. I will watch the whole series and enjoy cooking even more

[@anawesomejourney1198]

@@JacobBurton Why is 'CREAMY' not one of the basic flavours since I can't replace it with any of the other 5? And what about 'eggy' i.e. that sulphur flavour in 'Kala namak salt' or is that listed under umami? What about 'SPICY' I definitely can't yet see how that sits as a subset of any of the 5 thereby meaning we potentially have 7 or 8 or even more to consider what about 'herby' i.e. aromatic or is that somewhere under bitter, what about 'earthy' or 'funky' like certain fermented fish and protein foods. Some of the last ones might be reaches but I am sure spicy isn't represented unless you'd say something like spice is extreme tang, but it isn't though is it, that's a different flavour and feeling. Let me know thanks

[@NinjaMonkey088]

​@@anawesomejourney1198it depends on where you look. I think the Japanese even have minty as a flavor. I mean they discovered umami so I'd research the Japanese interpretation of flavor if you're that interested

[@anawesomejourney1198]

@@NinjaMonkey088 wow I never thought of minty that's soo true !! Like the menthol cold tongue sensation/flavour. But then why do they so authoritatively say we have 5 flavours. It's like saying we have 5 senses and then me reading somewhere else or from someone like yourself on KZbin that we actually have 20.

[@boostedboosted3088]

Woah congrats

[@usa2342]

Try yourself in a kitchen first, before committing yourself to culinary school. First be a server In upscale restaurant for two years at least, to understand clients palate better, and server position. To learn how to present food in attractive manner from different cooks. You can move on very fast up the ladder in culinary world without any degree or diploma. It depends how fast you are, if you are leader and if you can get along with others well.

[@usa2342]

After server position, take prep work and then line cook.

[@alfrednoodle1028]

Lol, you ready to make 10% of what you would earn? No healthcare, no retirement, work on weekends and holidays, scrub the floor every night, get yelled at, surrounded by sexist jokes, all the cooks with no education but more experience higher than you in the hierarchy? Go for it!

[@saraht6143]

This is the greatest kind of boot-camp there is. I looked up 'cooking foundations' and skipped all the recipes and knife-skill garbage you'll find, to find a gem like this on youtube of all places. Incredible hook, too, because oh hell yeah I would love to buy the rest of these videos. I will stay-tuned for a discount of sorts 👀Your teachings cuts into the soul of creativity in cooking and yes I loved alton brown growing up and somehow people are comparing his style of educating to yours. Idk, big credit to you for packaging this set of videos so nicely and everything about your channel just screams 'effective teacher' all around so I will focus on re-wiring my brain to break down everything I cook like this from this day forth.

Thank you for the time teaching and educating. I love to cook. One of the most important things is that I and 10 years colon cancer free. I have had to where the ileostomy pouch for a while and have no colon and only 2 foot of my small intestine. I love to cook and I don’t eat much of other pe food or eat o since I pay the pr for a wee or longer. I have become a very good cook by watching Gordon Ramsay, and other cooking shows over the past five years. But I wanted to become more educated in the culinary. Why foods have specific reasons for things, and you make the absolute best video for me to understand everything about cooking. I’ve seen the master chef, and I never understood what savory acids Salt all the other things I’ve watched, but never understood it and you are amazing. I do most of the cooking for my family now because they know with my intestinal issues and they’ve got to the point that they prefer not to cook. I love cooking and I become the master chef in my family. But I want to become better.

I’ve been plant based for two years now and have been making cuisine with meat all my life and am familiar with all that you’re teaching. Been applying umami flavor in my plant based foods and the fat has to come from the oils from seeds and nuts. Like, tahini, coconut fat, walnuts, etc. Then, there’s the Kombu, dehydrated shiitake reconstituted to try to mimic fish sauce without the fish and so on. Its a challenge but it can be done.

I fired up my cast iron and oven (gas) tonight after work and prepped my sweet onions, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, chuck steak and asparagus. Added seasalt, aroma seasonings, olive oil, pepper and squeezed lime juice to asparagus. Then added too much butter to each pan (drinking too much lol) sautéing the ginger, then onion, then garlic while failing to sear my steaks in the other pan with too much butter after having let them sit seasoned for 2 hours on a plate. After steaks were cooked 4 minutes each side I put them on a plate, poured the juices in the other skillet and turned the heat up really high put steaks back on to quickly sear then taking them off quickly. I poured all the contents of the other skillet where the steaks were then added the mushrooms turning down the heat to low. I watched the first 10 minutes of this video at 06:00 today and adapted on the fly understanding my flavors, temps and timing and my screw up became one of my families most loved meal I've made.

Omg, I hate cooking, I'm so bad. Nobody has ever taught me growing up. It always seemed boring. However, this lecture is so good, I can't wait to learn and watch everything. This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Searchexup bread improver use method and ended up on your bakers formula for bread video... mind blown... then I see this in your videos and I'm so grateful you have recorded the class and shared it with us. I listened to your macaroon story and I knew this video would be gold because the macaroon rage experience is what I've experienced too and for the same reason. Thank you thank you thank you.
