My Boss and I where talking about his friend who ate at Fallow I showed him I’ve been following these fantastic Chefs and showed him a couple of videos, he’s now taking me and my Sous Chef up to London from Cornwall, so we can all experience it! I have a great Boss and these Chefs have not only serious skills but the passion and confidence to share their knowledge. With guys like this in the industry we can motivate and teach each other! Serious Chefs, having fun. That’s how the best dishes are created!

Good doesn't mean complicated, it means done well.

[@vinny142]

Good means "done the way _you_ like it" Which is why any chef who says "this is the only way to do X properly" is a fool. Michelin star chefs are not better than any other chef, they just know what the michelin crowd likes and they cook *that*. Here in the Netherlands we've had several chefs who got a michelin star and returned it because they wanted to keep making food for their guests, not for some idea of perfection that a couple of people think thy have.

Fully agree. Too many YT chefs claim to be making the “ultimate” whatever and all they’ve succeeded in doing is making something basic into something excessively rich and complicated. Keep it clean, simple, good quality ingredients. No blow torches or deep fried caviar needed.

And the mere idea of adding sauce hollandaise - and jus ! - on top of a gratin dauphinois - or any gratin - is revolting. Gratin Dauphinois is à hearty winter dish, not very light in itself already… Adding sauce on top would make it heavier still and be most disgusting. Plus why mix everything ? Leave the dishes have their own identity. Gratin Dauphinois - or any gratin - is tasty because of the crust that builds on top - and hence must be eaten fresh from the oven, not « compressed » or whatever. If you want to invent a dish of compressed potatoes with a thousand things on top, fine, but do not call it a gratin dauphinois ! Call it « Don Corleone potatoes ».

Love your style, Chef. When I do this at Christmas, I warm my cream through (not even simmer) with rosemary and a head of garlic for around 20 minutes, then leave to sit for an hour, then pass it as I prefer a subtler hit of garlic. Gruyère gets best results for the cheese used in the middle. Best topped with a harder cheese like comte. As you do, I keep cheese to an absolute minimum. It's a side, not a main, innit 🙂

Beautiful dish. Gotta love the exact quantity specification at 0:41. I prefer using just milk or, at most half-and-half for a lighter dish. No cheese or pepper, very gentle with the garlic and nutmeg (I use about half of that, even though I love garlic) plus a gentle sprinkling of thyme: the taste of the potatoes has to shine here. I poke holes though the potato layers with the handle of a spoon to prevent excessive bubbling up of the layers.

[@Adam-jr4lx]

you could try evaporated. I lik using thyme but I would go heavy on the Gruyère and Garlic because I think that should be the flavor..

@@Adam-jr4lx Gruyère and Garlic are magic. But that magic is pretty common. This dish is one of the rare chances for potatoes to shine their magic. Nothing else, not even a roasty top - maybe just gentle color for looks. But that's my view; you don't have to partake of my magic :)
