Fun fact: Julien didn't just make a roux, when he added the milk he made a béchamel, one of the 5 mother sauces used in French cooking! Congrats Julien, you are now a certified French chef

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

And then when you add cheese it's called mornay sauce

[@MoodyMooMoo]

I have no idea what a roux is tbh but I love béchamel sauce. Also what’s the other 4?

[@thesexualsoup]

Yeah, what are the other 4? Can we collect them to gain ultimate power?

[@Madison-gq9yc]

@@MoodyMooMoo A roux is a mixture of flour and butter that can be cooked white, meaning the butter is not browned, or brown where the butter is browned. The other 4 mother sauces are velouté (white roux and white stock like chicken stock), espagnole (brown roux and brown stock like beef stock), tomato (roux and tomatoes), and hollandaise (egg yolk, butter, and lemon juice). My favorite is hollandaise because it's great on almost everything. I hope this helps!

YO! Julien, you legitimately need to give yourself more credit. You are an amazing chef. I can't stress that enough, you are so creative and cool and you push yourself. You LITERALLY substitute at least 50% of most recipes to fit your diet, and that's so cool to watch. Anyone can make pulled pork, not everyone has the balls to make it from a banana. regardless of if you are successful or not with your recipes (which most of the time you make such delicious-looking dishes) your inspiring so many of us.

Chef here, great job! The roux is actually just the flour and butter, the milk added to it makes it one of the 5 mother sauces, a bechamel. 👍👍

[@aliciamcmilleon5474]

I came here to say this. 😂 Southern momma here who makes her own roux and sometimes just sometimes that roux will turn into a bechamel.

I really don't like how you doubt yourself and remind us that you think you're not good enough often throughout the video. I actually love watching your cooking videos and I feel like it's actually your best series, and I'd watch your channel more if you made more cooking videos. You're not shitty BTW. And I love that Jenna's plants are in the frame.

[@alanajones7701]

I LOVE that I was already sitting directly next to a trash can when he told the people that don't like pasta to sit by the trash can. It's even on my left. It felt like he was legitimately looking directly at me lmao

[@TulipsToKiss]

"cold milk, hot roux, no lumps" - chef john make sure your roux is a liquid before adding any liquid, yours was still clumpy, you need to give it a minute or two to fully combine and even start to get some color. also you probably only needed 2 tbs of flour, 5 is a TON, which is why it was so thick.

Hes a spot on nick. Jenna sometimes sounds like jess though and thats when it gets freakish.

Julien: Welcome, you're late have a seat, I'll get your tardy slip to you later Me: Sorry Professor Solomita, it won't happen again

[@emmalee4452]

nah he started the class before he opened the door. his own fault. rated a two star on ratemyprofessor.com, the two are bc he let me try his mac n cheese

[@soohyunface]

I've been binging jenna and julien's old content lately, and its just insane how much julien's looks have changed in just a couple of years

[@TheKitkat4000]

Ikr was just saying today how much his hair has changed over the years aswell

[@HimanshuSingh-sf3lc]

You know how anime characters get revamped time to time and look like a whole new version of the same person? Yea, that's exactly what happens with Julien and I'm all for it.

[@karalandry8442]

Ya he got a lot less beefy. I think he looks a lot happier and healthier

[@soohyunface]

KatieKat both his hair and his physique too! Its so cool

[@soohyunface]

Himanshu Singh exactly??! Its like he’s a completely new person! Like when i started finding old videos of jenna, i saw a big beefy guy with a manbun, AND I LEGIT THOUGHT IT WAS A DIFFERENT GUY hahahah but turns out it was just young 24 year old julien

[@ericacurry6118]

It makes me so sad that Jenna doesn’t taste test anymore 😢 it’s not the same without the Virgo watching the Aries tornado

[@Shreya-fi3if]

Imagine someone who doesn't know Julien, clicking on this video for lobster mac and cheese, and realizing that our boy is a vegan gluten free boy XD

[@SakuraHanora]

Legit what happened to me BUT I've had these mushrooms recently they're pretty good--still taste like a mushroom even if it was strong and incomparable to the grocery variety.

[@trishroscoe8273]

Me: rolling my eyes after he holds up the cheese. Julien: you clicked on this video. YOU! Me: laughing for 2 min

[@Im.A1ex]

Making that cheese sauce was so chaotic but ngl I kinda love it. Really reflects the reality of cooking from a recipe for the first time like ‘is that right? that doesn’t look right’ lol

[@rgabri2]

Roux: depends on timing and measurements Aries julen:.... yep.

[@cassy27100]

Jenna would have had a heart attack if she had seen Julien put that piece of pasta he bit in half back in the pot. It really is an Aries bullshit move.

Fun fact: A roux is simply just butter and flour mixed together, but what Julian made is called a bechamél, which is just a roux with milk. Great job on making it btw.

As it should be. Salt makes things taste good. Doesn't matter if it's a five finger pinch or two. Your chef intuition will tell you what's best
