Chef Jean Pierre, you've mastered the art of cooking and comedy on KZbin! Your ability to blend delicious flavors with a side of laughter is a true talent. Your witty remarks and infectious laughter make us feel like we're cooking alongside a friend. Keep spreading the joy, Chef Jean Pierre!

[@Shaden0040]

I'll take I'll take your comment as a compliment And not to mean that my cooking techniques and ideas are laughable, Cooking is all about taking different ideas from different people and different ingredients in combining them together in new and unique ways to make a taste sensation Whether or not it's good or not it's new and it's different You have a great day.

[@user-rg4cw7tj9d]

You are SOOO RIGHT!

[@alreynolds4152]

All I want for Christmas is to see Jack in the kitchen. If you watch some of the old videos, they are good but the production now is excellent

[@colekter5940]

We saw him in the reflection of the oven when he brought the camera to the sink in one of the videos before the thanksg run. Shhhh. Dont tell him 😅

@@colekter5940 what's the video and time stamp? Now I'm curious. XD

[@colekter5940]

@@halestormtv im having trouble finding it. you know what? it may have even been the video they took down because of the spanish recipe police. i'm not 100% sure, though.

[@colekter5940]

@@halestormtv the more i think about it, i'm pretty sure it was in the paella video. now, i will circulate the conspiracy theory that jack made a big deal over the Spanish recipe police because he knows we caught a glimpse of him and Chef is working with him to cover up! :D

[@thegodofpez]

Another fantastic way to spice it up is using horseradish! Looks incredible, Chef JP!

i love how chef makes basic dishes and also fancy ones. And does not act pretentious when making simple food.. very refreshing

[@dn41144]

I love the Chef's stolen glances at the camera. In addition to being a culinary genius, he's also a comic genius.

[@jaywhittle5247]

Love this recipe. We make almost the same thing, only without the Dill or almonds. Also, the cats LOVE the tuna juice. Never throw that out!! Chef and Jack make a good team. Almost every Video makes us laugh. Learning and laughing is the best part of life!!

[@jimmie200]

Yes, tuna juice is kitty champagne!

Except our Kat. But yeah, UR right.@@jimmie200

[@hayleymanchios8908]

Thank you Chef! I’m so glad for COVID 19, because it forced you to do KZbin full time. I can now step up my home creations from just edible to delicious and a hmmmm mmm good. Planing to make this recipe soon.

[@lthead]

Chef JP I'm a new subscriber and I have been binge watching your videos! You are a delight to watch and always put a smile on my face

[@michaelalbert6421]

I made a slight mistake while recreating this tuna melt. (Delicious, by the way.) I got carried away, while making this and added a little bit too much of the dressing to the tuna mixture. It became slightly loose and not as in tact as in the video. Not to worry, I had another can of tuna and extra veggies to make a slightly larger batch. So delicious. Oh my 🎉🎉 The delicious leftover dressing will be added to a smash-burger and breakfast egg BLT for the following days. 👍👍

[@legodude839]

Instead of the tomato slices, I add pickle slices for the crunch. I'm happy you mentioned the toaster at the end. That's what I usually use. This is also one of my favourite sandwiches as well.

[@lisainpalmdesert]

Ok friends! I made several of the Chef’s creations over the holidays, they turned out fantastic!

[@AlohaSnackbar-pc9gd]

nice, a warm and toasty offering for a cold day. Your Thanksgiving recipes were a homerun at Thanksgiving last week (gravy, cranberry sauce, turkey) so cheers to you Chef!

[@derekh.7582]

Bravo Chef! One of my favorite meals is a proper Tuna Melt. Simple yet complex if done right. They hit just about every flavor and texture perfectly. I like diced cornichon instead of capers, and I add some crispy thick cut bacon, but that’s me.

[@derekh.7582]

Anytime Chef

[@DonPandemoniac]

That mayonaise recipe is amazing, the extra herbs and spices really compliment the ingredients in the salad. I bet it would be fantastic on salmon and potato wedges as well!

[@hhaughey11]

I imagine the mayonnaise would be good on chicken, turkey, salmon salads also. Are there substitutes that enhance the poultry vs the sea food that anyone has tried?

[@DonPandemoniac]

@@hhaughey11 Thyme and rosemary instead of the dill would be good with poultry. Or chipotle, cilantro, extra lemon and just the tiniest pinch of cinnamon.

[@TheresaGraf]

I've been craving a tuna melt!!!

[@SherryWineAndCats]

I love these videos! Jack you do a great job of capturing Chef and making these videos perfect! Chef because of you I tried making my own mayo and it is crazy how it changes a sandwich!!❤ thank you

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

???Does Jack make house-calls???

[@candidarosspowers7041]

It is always wonderful way to start the day when I see your videos. I was wondering though if I could make a request. Would you please consider adding a beverage pairing with some of your dishes? You look great. Please stay well.

[@jfrunn]

Ooooohhhh....... Delectable as usual Chef Jean Pierre, if were going down this path, I'd love to see your take on creamed salmon and peas on toast.

[@catherinekamoen6685]

Probably my favourite chef to watch x

[@vrt42]

What a sandwich ! Made in Heaven by Ste. Pierre!

[@billyzig]

Très bien! And I love it how you always forget something. You kind of remind me of me.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

😂😂😂👍

[@kikyanwar1903]

Anything that goes with tuna is one of my favorite dishes. I love tuna so much

[@abyssal_phoenix]

The salad is similar to the one i learnt to make from the chefs at my workplace (i technically don't have to, but i help them prep often) It's usually based on 2 cans of tuna in oil, about half to 3/4 gold reinet apple, about a whole large pickle, a bit of parsley, deep fried capers and mayo and a slight amount of ketchup and sweet chili sauce Really wonderful stuff

[@fireantsarestrange]

I have been making that for years. Works for leftover Turkey too. One of the things I do with the Turkey is not the same thing but people should try it. I call it the Artie. It's toasted bread with mayo on both sides with melted Jack Cheese the Turkey and marinated Artichoke hearts. Try it. Hope chef JP reads that.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

👍👍👍❤️

[@GottaBeME2]

I'm practically living on chicken salad now and I like the idea of the artichokes.. thanks for the tip!😊

[@fishfootface]

That sounds delicious. 😋

[@olyman63]

Through the tuna on the grill more a minute or 2 also then put it on the melted cheese and sourdough bread so yummy. Wonderful shows thank you. Have a great day.

[@stonerscravings]

I squeeze my tuna in a coffee filter for quick draining. Great recipe. I love the small dice. Makes a better bite 😊

[@kimslyffnow11]

Oh, that looks so good! I love tuna salad melts!

[@MottiShneor]

Nice... Thanks! I find pickles missing (although the capers do something like that to the Tuna salad) but this IS a very rich (ah, filthy-rich?) sandwich. To my taste, a different bread (sour-dough, a little more elastic with bigger holes) with almost no butter, and the tiniest crust under the broiler would be preferable, because your byte doesn't cut through it like it was cake -- rather you need to chew on the bread, and by the way, also enjoy more the taste of the salad that stays in your mouth longer. But that, of course, is a matter of preference - and there's honored place for both styles... Thanks for yet another mouth-watering video Chef!

[@theastewart6721]

This is an excellent lesson! We always made our tuna melts like an open faced sandwich. Your video gives us great options! Many thanks. 😊

[@kayratnayake7602]

He makes me feel good watching him and I love how human he is and such a creative mind and spirit! I also used to live in Florida, for 8yrs, and man o man we know that finding good produce in Florida is hard because they ship it out to all the other states and leave the bum crop for the residents. I hated it. But gosh I love watching Jean-Pierre!

I'm a goofball too and don't apologize for it.

[@GotWag]

When I made the dressing and tasted it, by itself, I wasn’t too crazy about it; there was some strong flavor I didn’t care for. Probably something I put too much of, who knows. However, with great faith in my favorite chef I proceeded. Sure enough, it was excellent once mixed in with the other ingredients! I used canned white meat chicken from Sam’s, because that’s what I had on hand & needed to use it anyway. It was delicious. As always, thank you Chef JP for sharing your skills with us!❤

Greetings to you chef Jean. I just wanted to say, I have seen many famous chefs on KZbin showing you how to….cook steak, omelettes, scrambled eggs and, chop onions etc. However, you are the only chef I have seen do all these things and more, who’s advice and method really makes true sense of how these things should really be done. I love cooking and, haha, I love eating too, so I just wanted to say a really big, “THANK YOU,” For helping me become a much better and more proficient cook. Love your videos chef Jean, all the best, LB.🍷🥩🍗🫔
