These two guys have fast become my new favorite chefs on the platform (& cooking’s 75% of all my viewing time here). 🤟✌️🙏

[@brb323]

So refreshing to see tops chefs communicate like this and make techniques and styles positively accessible, particularly to keen home cooks. Really inspiring.

[@BiGAAAAAAAAAALLLLL]

whatever firm did your marketing deserve about 400 awards... and a pay rise

[@zsjdajksdsajk3963]

loved the "stock cubes" part, gives a more home vibe. Love it!

[@chrisslade8763]

I was going to say the same. I don't have home made stock always feel like i'm doing it worng if I use a stock cube or that I've failed as a cook😅

[@SuWoopSparrow]

Stock cubes are very convenient, but I think people also overestimate how much you need to get a valid stock. Simmer chicken for 1-2 hours with maybe a whole carrot or two and add a bit of parsley in the last 30 minutes and you have a perfectly fine stock. Add some salt and noodles and its chicken noodle soup, eat throughout the week as a soup or use like a stock. More important than some excessive preparation process is finding quality chicken.

[@NikosPer]

make chicken stock is easy...very easy. Then put it in small food grade plastic bags and in freezer for future use. i make once every 3 months.

[@georgelennon3151]

@@SuWoopSparrowI always used to think my homemade stock was bad because it tasted horrible, but the cubes are often full of salt. Once I started pouring quite a lot of salt into the stock it would turn out amazing. Key thing is, you can tell how good it is by the smell!

[@nikip9161]

Yes. Nobody left behind! ❤🍽🍴🥄🔪

[@briancoleman9330]

I love watching these style of videos where the chiefs show, teach, and explain the reason/science/use behind techniques. I'm a newer home cook, and I love to learn and apply these techniques at home.

[@FallowLondon]

Glad you enjoy it chef!

This channel after a long days of work in a fast food kitchen is a real depression cure, thank you for everything y’all do I love your videos. Cheers!

[@vSTExx]

Yes more sauces please! This is ace!

[@richsdixon]

For the home cook like me it's the getting the heat of the pan correct so you can cook it on one side under a weight for 10 mins without burning the skin is what would be my biggest challenge here...!

[@assa5s1n43]

Keep it up Fallow! I will be visiting from Norway late February!

[@stianaslaksen5799]

Ikke misunnelig i det hele tatt!

[@gamersunite7968]

I could have used this the other day when I made the BEST chicken breast I've ever made. But now I know how to make it and I will be making chicken again tonight.

[@patfranklin4620]

Great video! I started cooking in earnest about a year ago, and I find videos like these invaluable. Found your channel a few weeks ago, and I really enjoy your content!

[@bosox-pk9jp]

Love these types of videos. As a home cook, I really enjoy learning techniques and recipes. Please keep them coming.

[@jaytorr6701]

I really love that while both chefs have worked at restaurants like fat duck, they still use traditional cooking techniques and sauces.

[@NikosPer]

places like ''fat duck'' are not comfort restaurants, they are trend makers.

[@35PHaaton]

It's because you need to master and understand the fundamentals for you to be good at molecular gastronomy. We have a saying where any chef can make a bechamel sauce, but only a few have mastered it and have full knowledge of high quality ingredients.

[@joeterenzio4935]

I cook a lot, I have worked for some Michelin chefs and these videos are one of the best things I've seen that teach me to make simple fucking banging food. thank you!!

[@SimDeck]

You guys are a breath of fresh air. Everytime I watch your videos it gets me in the kitchen trying to emulate some of the stuff you do. Great stuff. Thank you.

[@lachlanmcgoldrick4877]

I could listen to you all day, Will. I learn something new everytime I watch these videos. Great stuff as always, man. 👏

[@jetsamrover]

Thank you for this video. I appreciated the brush up on rouxes and classic sauces. I just made one of the best meals I've ever served by following your recipe, while pouring off the rendered chicken fat to make a proper egg fried rice as the side. It was all amazing and nothing went to waste.

[@JezzGT]

Amazing content as always! Would definitely like to learn more about the 4 traditional sauces 🙌

[@quan6729]

On break from the kitchen watching this while I eat chicken with no sauce 😭😭. Excellent work chef

Yes Chef!

Really loving these new videos! Keen to learn a bit more about plating

[@hern-t]

You guys are great. Thanks for sharing so many amazing and simple dishes. Cheers!

[@skidstung]

I always like to eat and watch Fallow videos! Helps the appetite.

[@TheElan5]

I love your videos! I prefer to hold the chicken in the oven once it’s almost done and use the drippings to make the veloute or pan sauce. It’s nice to add shallots to wilt in the pan as well once some fat is rendered. I highly recommend this technique as the fond and chicken fat you get is incredible and bolsters the chicken flavor.

[@user-yd1zf7nq2b]

Great video! More on the mother sauces would be awesome!

[@sailwesterly5444]

Nice one Chef. Always been a bit confused about exact nature of velouté. Going to try this out tonight.

[@calerenteuber]

These videos are fantastic mate, I'm learning so much keep them coming

[@user-pf9rn5bj4f]

Fallow says, it will always be true. Great source.

I will visit Fallow once in London. Keep posting this kind of videos too. Thank you, Chef!

[@Wottm8]

Idk if it was intentional or not but @7:34 the way chef plated it looked liked a heart, makes u think that he made this meal with love for us viewers ♥️😂 wonderful recipe!!

[@jenshjlund6488]

Absolutely awesome! ty chef!

[@35PHaaton]

Very true about stock cubes and for those who have never worked in a kitchen even most 5 stars hotels and fine dining uses stock cubes. It also makes the final pricing of the dish a little less expensive.

[@pogiewogie]

Great vids. Very interesting with the chemistry of cooking and really in depth knowledge.

[@J_Drix]

Yes to more sauces! 🙌🏻

[@ryanmarcshaww]

I like your style of filming and editing

[@drucey1210]

[@choke9270]

Visiting Fallow next week! Cannot wait.

[@pogiewogie]

So how was it!

[@parttimehuman]

I really love seeing a chef cooking in their element and how they move as opposed to a a more, oh I don't know, deliberate style a of traditional cooking show.

[@chrisgreen6259]

Nice! Yes please can we see the other foundational sauces!

[@Briax89]

Fantastic!

[@CookSharp00]

Could you do a video showing how to make roasted chicken stock at home?

[@zieverinkpatrick]

Please do all the mother sauces! I am interested in what dishes you will cook with them. Like valute with chicken I did at Christmas (with some citrus) but what do you do with an espagnole sauce or a bechamel (besides a lasagna). Anyway, thanks a lot for these videos!

[@KeithGrant]

Looks fantastic. I’m gonna have to make this tonight! BTW, here in the States, I’ve only ever called it tarragon… never heard of estragon before 😅

well done chef!

[@daves1412]

Ace, thanks for that.

[@gryzzly31]

Yes indeed, tarragon herb is estragon in french, used also for example in "bearnaise sauce". :)

[@eelectron9582]

American here. I've always heard of that herb referred to as Tarragon, including working in restaurants!

[@EBeverly-gv4ln]

I think we just call it tarragon; that’s all I know it by. I haven’t thought of veloute in a couple decades but will probably do it this week thanks to this video.

[@BobaPhettamine]

estragon is the proper word for tarragon, tarragon was an English cock up of the French word

[@Kepster05]

they're called "sizzle platters", you can find online or restaurant supply store

We call it tarragon in the US as well

[@jillyb71]

We call it tarragon as well. (USA)

[@ndzapruder]

We call it tarragon in the states too :)

[@olivierchaligne7535]

Estragon is french for tarragon. Maybe they use the French word for it in the US.

[@Bulletzz303]

At least where I work here in the states we still call it tarragon. Easy Bistro and Bar in Chattanooga, TN come eat with us

[@ciaran2679]

Why use hot stock, or hot milk for a bechamel? Is it just to save time at the expense of maybe needing an extra pan? Or does it make a difference to the end result?

[@Bobble86]

Less likely to get lumps.

[@OhForFucksSake-xp3hf]

Next of the 3 foundational sauces please! 🤙

[@REMY.C.]

In french it's estragon too.

[@Nosceteipsum166]

One of my favorite sauces. I finish with lots of butter at the end, though lol

[@Anteater23]

Please teach the other 4 sauces

[@jopro2000]

If you need reduced stock for a sauce, you would not really be able to use a stock cube, right? There would not be enough gelatin for the sauce?

[@Bobble86]

Correct. You don't get gelatin in stock cubes.

[@jimza99]

But which stock cubes

[@mariovukic8886]

Do you not salt the sauce, or did I miss it?

[@chrisslade8763]

Can you do the same with burgers? I make them with 20% fat and was wondering can you start them out in a cold pan? Or will I get no colour? Or should I put them in a hot pan with no oil and do it that way?

[@alexandresoundsVIDEO]

starting with a cold pan is great for things like bacon, very marbled cuts of steak or pork with a big fat cap, but I wouldn't suggest it with ground beef because you want to retain more of the rendered fat inside the patty; high heat with a quicker sear will give you much better maillard browning and crust; if the burger comes to temp slowly you run the risk of all the delicious fat running out

[@chrisslade8763]

@@alexandresoundsVIDEO That is a very good point! I was wondering because I did a burger in the pan the other day that was 20% and when the burger started cooking there was too much fat in the pan. I guess I should of just tipped a bit out. Thanks for the tip though, much appreciated.

[@Omnis2]

4:33 Tarragon in America is known as Tarragon.

[@marcschelz]

did he add any oil or butter to the chicken?

[@pathazelraw]

We call it tarragon in the USA; a little hard to find sometimes.

[@BobaPhettamine]

i don't think he said in America i think that was just the auto subtitles i think he just said "what else do they call it (his colleagues name), estragon" which is its original French name

[@insanity4462]

Is this sauce supposed to be pretty sour? I often cook with white wine but when I try to make velouté (1tbsp butter/flour, 100ml dry white wine, 1 bay leaf, 250ml chicken broth from stock cubes, salt and pepper, 200ml cream). It tastes nice except it is very sour... so sour even that I don't think I can fix it by adding sugar or more fat to it.

[@user-cm3gw1mk3m]

I noticed that you put fresh black pepper on the end instead of at the beginning before you started cooking it. Why? Does it matter?

[@limeland]

More sauces I would love to see the traditional tomato sauce

[@guidosforni8118]

do more sauces!

[@theblobfish9614]

Growing up i Always thought the legs were the prime cut of the chicken because we always used to fight over who gets legs vs breasts. Once i started to do the shopping i was really pleasantly surprised

[@ajconstantine3593]

I wasted a lotta jingle in the late ‘80s at culinary skewel. Today, there is literally _nothing_ (NO THING) you’ll learn there you cannot learn & do following quality chefs on KZbin. Facts. Just trust yourself-you’ve got two hands & a brain (& endless ways to source online). Just get AT it. Learnin’s _doin_ & vice versa. 🤷‍♂️👍
