@@dirtyunclehubert I'm actually not all that concerned about the thought of "unscientific" farts. I am, however, concerned that for them to be called such, there must also be "scientific" farts. And that worries me greatly.

I was busy working on my life and now i stumble again on one of your videos, i remember when i was a broke ass high school student i always watched your videos, literally each and every one of them to vibe up whatever food im having. Now i got a job and a family. Will binge watch again and try your recipes. Thanks Chef John for making my meals memorable.

[@irinadalah9089]

thanks chef john!! this is exactly what I was looking for. I remembered that one of my dad's friends used to prepare it for us and his kids when we were... h! I said: kids only, I wanted something lighter, to server with my syruped limes, so I used 1.5 cups milk and only 3/4 cup heavy cream - and that work just fine! and the "plating" trick at the end was so awesome, I used it!! and with a small syrupy lime slice on top? was devine! thanks for sharing!!

"A proven, unscientific fact..." You are the best, Chef John.😁 Its the same when you make Ganache. You pour the hot cream over the chocolate and little piece of butter and when you wait and finally begin to stir it looks as though it will never come together. Suddenly, its transformed into a rich, brown, silky pool. A feast for the eyes.

[@paulmorgan3838]

This was best the desert, thanks for sharing the recipe. I will definitely be doing this recipe again; Chef John is right it is super rich a small amount goes a long way. I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate and glad I did, due to the dessert being so rich.

[@AlexAlabiso]

So I took the time to actually make this for Valentine's Day and it turned out amazing. It was just the two of us so I halved the recipe. Came out absolutely decadent and yes... A little bit goes a long way. I used a mix of raspberry dark chocolate and nice quality dark chocolate chips. The halved recipe makes 3 so we saved one for you chef.

Dear Chef John, Recently, I’ve been showered by many flashy youtube videos that came to a point where I was no longer seeing youtube suggestions relating to Food Wishes anymore. For heavens, it feels so good to remember my way back into the inspiring curious world of Food Wishes and good old fashion sarcasm. Thanks for keeping up the channel and I do love cooking mainly due to your videos. I just had to gush out my fan boggling here before going on a video splurge to catch up all that I’ve missed!

The weird think stuck to the yolk is called a “chalaza” and it’s just a piece of the white with a little more protein in it that helps hold the yolk in the center of the shell

Excess egg whites go great in vanilla cupcakes, as they make the whitest, purest looking sponge texture.

[@johnfdm123]

I made this (with 6 ounces of Ghirardelli 60% cacao morsels and 2 ounces Lindt 90% cacao chocolate, chopped, and a quarter teaspoon of almond extract added to the cream). It was excellent, but so rich and filling, I honestly wouldn't have minded stretching the recipe out to 8 portions rather than 6.

[@swingardium706]

Not only does this look excellent as is, it could also be customised in basically endless ways. Fresh fruit, wafers, nuts, biscuits, maybe a caramel sauce for those of us with a sweet tooth, the world's your oyster!

The easiest way to separate yolks from the white is by cracking it in half and slipping the yolk back and forth between the shell halves allowing the white to flow out. That way you keep your hands clean. And its faster.

The best and easiest to separate yolks from whites if you have several to do is to crack them all into a bowl together and then use a spider spatula to fish out the yolks. Works perfect every time.

Or fresh pasta - 2 servings needs 3 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, 1 cup AP flour, pinch of salt. Mix into a dough and knead until smooth. Wrap and let it rest - 20 minutes to overnight (use fridge). Roll out and cut. Cooks in 2-3 minutes in boiling water.

[@agushofblue]

This is delicious. Put it in the freezer and boom you have ice cream. The only thing I would say is this: don’t underestimate how long the egg mixture needs to cook for. It’s a custard so it’s got to thicken quite a bit. More than 5mins for sure.

I wanted to suggest the cheat of chocolate mousse with silky tofu but then I saw _The_ Platonic Ideal of consistency and texture. Wow, Pavlovian and I'm not even hungry. Orange zest is a little dangerous but could do in the whipped cream if you make a few servings and want to wildcard the last ones. Just remember it can be bitter and must be balanced with the sugary bits. _But I know everyone would want a 2nd serving of just the straight _*_good stuff._*
