How To Make Vol Au Vent Shells ( From puff pastry sheets)

[@missmeringue1206]

Love your English and the way you explain, with all the technical details , thanks

[@WE_not_Me]

I recently watched the movie "The Taste of Things" about a French gourmand and his romance with his cook. The movie was a love letter to classic French cooking. They created the most amazing seafood Vol Au Vent in a plate-sized shell. I went home dreaming of making this dish. Your video has given me some courage. Thank you!

[@JulieBailey-r4k]

Yes, "The Taste of Things" was fabulous! I made the Bouchee a la Reine today and will tackle the Vol-au-Vents later.

[@RubyTwilite]

My mom used to make vol au vent shells filled with a saucy seafood mixture when I was a kid. It was for holidays only. God, I remember these amazing holiday meals that went on for hours!

I billet two hockey players from Quebec and I ask them what they want for supper. Fun learning the French vs English names and the twists! Looking forward to this channel 🎉

Stephane, another trick to help them rise straight: chill your puff pastry in the freezer before cutting it with the cookie moulds. Don't let the dough before completely frozen, but let it get a little tough. This will help prevent the layers from pinching together, and it'll help it rise with better separation and evenness.

I am Pakistani but live in uk, as you probably know Pakistani cuisine is very opposite to English and French cuisine. I have eaten lots of English food since i live in England but have had some French food, one of them being mushrooms Vol-au-vent which i ate for the first time as a young child at some party and i loved it but didn’t know what it was called. It took me years 😂 to find out (we didn’t have KZbin then) so then as i didn’t know how to make them, i used to search for them in supermarkets. Sadly i didn’t find them very often but they popped up during the Christmas season so every year i have been getting them but this year i didn’t find any so I decided I would make them myself so here i am watching your videos. Thank you for the tips.

[@farahkhelaifia5921]

Thank you for sharing with us, I’m watching your recipes from New York, I’m gonna make them today ,

[@geneamichael2068]

Thank you so much for this! I work at an event venue and we needed these for a wedding. My boss gave it the ol' college try and they were ok, but not quite right. He found your vid and tried again (we need them again for this weekend) and he's thrilled with how they came out! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques!

[@theresa94010]

Seems like this would be a fun project to do with the kids as well. Thank you for teaching us authentic and interesting French ways of cooking.

[@MichaelNewberry]

Excellent tutorial. Tips I did not know: turn them upside down, score the topless ones, and clever use of left over cuts. Thank you.

[@fluffybunny7840]

In the late 1970s / 80s these were essential for the buffet connoisseur! Thanks 🙏

[@glorytoukraine619]

Pour moi, vos conseils sur la direction des bords des cookies découpés ont été une vraie découverte. Je vous remercie.

[@Sandra-q5e]

Thanks

[@gerardjones7881]

To prevent them from drifting sideways place a sheet of paper across the tops, the paper will hold them level as they rise. When the dough begins to color remove the paper from the top.

[@teresajenkins9056]

so happy to find the cookie cutters and the silicone mat I can get on Amazon through your site...so happy

[@Hazel14686]

The Vol au vents look amazing 😋

[@guilhemcabanes8839]

Merci pour toutes ces recettes ! En tant que français aimant cuisiner, ça fait plaisir de trouver une manière interactive d'apprendre ces plats qui ont accompagnés mon enfance. Maintenant, il ne me reste plus qu'à les "traduire" en version vegan pour que ma compagne puisse y gouter aussi.

[@oluwadare12]

Am I the only one that heard "...and a pair of coochie cutters..." at 0:13 seconds? Lol I know that's not what the chef said but it was hilarious. My mom used to call really small shorts on women coochie cutters too funny. Well carry on.

[@alexandruepuran]

Hello!!! GREAT recipe. Again!

[@scriptureexamined4664]

I'm trying it out right now and will let you know whether it worked or not.

[@carmenalegre2096]

Love it

[@B3000imen]

super j'ai beaucoup aimé.. j'aurais préféré la video en langue française.. heureusement je suis trilingue 😅

[@Hazel14686]

Your accent 😍😍😍

[@JelMain]

Fan ovens push the rise sideways = screen them with foil folded in half for stiffness, as a wall from the fan. Curve it so it stands up.

[@kimwieslaw8339]

Thanks 🇦🇺

[@Alex_Short]

Do you have crousanrs recipes?

[@auramora]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Have you tried to make them using pie weights or a foil sack full of beans? I'm curious.

[@lindalyons6372]

Great

[@gavingray5275]

Could you do these in the air fryer??

[@jennymaraagustinvelasquez]

I really love your french accent

[@janlipley2588]

At what temperature do you cook the pastry, please? Also how long would the shells keep and where would I store them?

[@mostlymozart6288]

I ran mine at 375 degrees F with fan for 20 minutes and they turned out perfect

[@reshmapatel325]

Do you have a recipe for home made puff pastry?

[@catherinecai7629]

just finished my practical test which includes vol au vent 15hrs ago😂😂😂

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

really so do tell !! how did you go i love hearing those stories what was the whole test about ?👨🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳

[@Kept_Crude]

2mns au four a quelle temperature? SVP:)

[@Hollywoodgonebad]

Would cooking them in large muffin tins help keep them straighten as they rise during the cooking process?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

funny you say that because i has the same though as well 😀😀 if you try let me know how it goes i am going to try it too😋😋👨🏻‍🍳

[@Hollywoodgonebad]

French Cooking Academy Ok. I'll pick up some pastry tonight and let me know tomorrow how it worked.

[@ivfchic3316]

@@Hollywoodgonebad did it work? 😊

[@BitsofSkin]

Who cares if it goes straight or otherwise. Its still going to be just as tasty!!!!

[@carstenpfundt]

I'm going to fill mine with a creamy dill, chanterelle and artichoke heart sauce

[@chaupham7500]

Where did you buy this puff pastry from Stephane.

[@deendrew36]

Chau pham you can mostly buy it at any well stocked grocery store. It is in the frozen section at my grocery store.

An old and classic technique very well explained. Although I did giggle at the French pronunciation of "sheet": "puff pastry shits"!

Your link does not go to recipe

[@floopyboo]

That's funny, your flat spatula looks exactly like my offset spatula.

[@nogoodwolf]

If I'm going to buy a box of puff pastry sheet, I may as well buy the puff pastry in the store. Does anyone know how to make them from scratch?

[@ejet9900]

Ils sont pas droit t’es vol au vent sa se colle avec de l’eau et non des œufs et ils doivent reposer une nuit au frigo bonne chance 👍

Please show POACHING meat with tea. is it possible to poach anything...veggies, tofu, shellfish, fruit? whats the temperature for the stock/tea to be?

[@maranatha256]

These casings can be purchased pre-made in the freezer section. But this was interesting.

[@DougieJR]

TL:DR: Put puff pastry in oven.
