Made this one today. What an absolutely stunning dish. The flavours were so unexpected, it blew my guests' minds. Thanks for another great recipe chef! Will definitely be making this again.

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

That’s so great to hear! Glad you and your guests liked it 🙌🏼

[@Ondraasha]

Jules, you are an angel with these incredible recipies. You give me so much inspiration. Thank you very much for sharing your genius with us regular viewers!

[@teeem1993]

I'm here for a long time, and it's good to see how your videos are evolving in every aspect. By simply using a mic it became more personal and genuine, as you're explaining small things during the cooking. (It makes good balance with the commentary.) The dish looks really great, as always! Great idea for the watermelon peels, I've never found a good use for them :)

[@lugaretzia]

Great point about the mic. The only (minor) gripe I had with this otherwise excellent channel.

[@franklee260]

So blown a way by how much you give a way. Super inspiring ❤

[@chit9601]

wow these mini watermelons are so cute, amazing to see local produce! The fried capers look delicious as well, might give that a try since I have them in my pantry. Anyways great dish, loved the video.

I love this series 👍

[@jacoleroux4302]

Hey Jules! I love your videos! Thank you! Just want to point out that cucumber is botanically a fruit and therefore watermelon is also a fruit.

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Cucumber is a vegetable. To be precise, a fruit vegetable. That is, cucumber belongs to the vegetables from which we eat the fruit of the plant. Just like peppers and tomatoes, for example.

[@mattia_carciola]

Well, if we want to be precise "vegetable" as a cooking term does not exist. it's either a fruit or a vegetable in the mean of "part of a plant" (like for example if you decide to use for some reasons agave pulp). If we want to be *really* precise, some fruits aren't even fruits themselves (like apples or strawberries), that's when during veg biology the whole class stayed in a traumatized silence lol

Definitely will try ! Would like to see raspberry for dessert . Thanks 😊

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Love raspberries! I already have a couple video's on them, but there definitely will be more to come

[@marcscooltube123]

You could also fry the capers in the sieve,,

[@ngocanao764]

Thank you very much for your sharing ,can you recommend with the tomatoes glazed ,should i used what ingredient for green colour

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Maybe a nice chlorofyl? It think parsley or spinach is very delicious

[@benkimpson2237]

40g of ice to prevent the caper sauce from splitting, yes??? can we use cold water for easier measuring???

[@asteriostararas9263]

That blew me away!! Jules this watermelon looks like a fine beef cut. I wanted to ask you... Do you remove the seeds inside the watermelon? Or the Dutch ones have small amount?

[@rinse-esnir4010]

They are seedless. They only contain a small amount of undeveloped seeds.

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Thanks! I don't remove the seeds. They do contain seeds, but they aren't that big so I find it not unpleasing when eating. It will also give a nice texture because when drying the watermelon it loses a lot of it's texture

[@asteriostararas9263]

@@JulesCookingGlobal all right, got it. So my next question is. Is there anything that we can do with the seeds? Like the pumpkin seeds that you made if I remember correctly?

[@asteriostararas9263]

@@rinse-esnir4010 then it's not seedless. Let the man who made it answer to that question.

[@rinse-esnir4010]

@@asteriostararas9263 They are sold as 'seedless watermelons'. They contain however a small amount of underdeveloped small seeds. They give the watermelon a bit of a bite, they aren't comparable with the seeds in ordinary water melons.

[@torbenholm2975]

You are super 👍❤️😃. i will try it. I hope you will do more with the twin stone machine 🙏🙏. don't you have a video where you have dried herbs in that Twin stone?. I can not find it.

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into it 🙏🏼 I don't have a herb video in the twin stones right now, but I'll definitely think about it

[@gab.lab.martins]

Melons, watermelon, cucumber, chayote, pumpkin, squash, they're all the same family. Saying they're "vegetables not fruit" makes no sense, since you're mixing culinary and botanical terms. Bean pods, botanically, are fruits. So are all of the ingredients I just mentioned. Culinarily, a vegetable is a part of a plant (could be root, stem, leaf, fruit, flower) that isn't predominantly sweet, with little to no savoury/umami taste. So while a cucumber shouldn't be put in a fruit salad, cubes of watermelon can. In my native language of Portuguese, we make that distinction easy by switching the gender of the word: "fruto" (m) is the botanical term for the flesh that surrounds the seed, while "fruta" (f) is the culinary term for any fruit or infructescence that is juicy and sweet. Since English doesn't gender nouns, it can be confusing to use "fruit" for both biology and cooking.

[@mynewemail3356]

Well in any case, Jules' videos are freaking amazing!

[@twurtle5908]

So creative!!!

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Thank you so much!

[@alpinekiwi]

Side question: I have that same mini spice blender. Yours has a separate lid before the bigger cover goes on it, mine does not and makes a mess with liquids (herb oils etc). Did you buy it separately or did it come with it?

[@brandoncarter4918]

What were the two cold binders to the tomato puree? Xanthan and ______ ?

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

I use Xanthan powder, this is also know as Xanthana or Xanthan gum. An other binder that works great is Unique binder

[@Panda-ok1yk]

This is so amazing, it's almost like watching you doing science

Hi Chef! Just had a quick question about the use of sushi vinegar. Is this a blend of sushi vinegar that is used to season sushi rice? If so do you use a brand or is it a home made recipie from rice vinegar? Thank you for the consistent uploads!!

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

It is indeed also known as sushi seasoning, I'll make a short soon 🙌🏼

als je veel kappertjes moet frituren, laat de kappertjes dan uitlekken en stop ze in de koude olie, verwarm hem nu tot ongeveer 170 graden totdat ze open gaan, dan zeven en even laten drogen op papier of onder een warmtelamp

Botanically speaking , cucumber is a fruit like tomatoes and chilis

[@jordy46682]

@@JulesCookingGlobal it's a fruit. Yok is correct. You are arguing semantics... 😅

[@Blablablateelbal]

I always thought the cucumber contained seeds and therefore is a fruit. So that makes the watermeleon a fruit too.

[@billyrussell7789]

yeah fruit is a botanical term for the seed containing organ of flowering plants, while vegetable is a culinary term just referring to any edible part of a plant, with the unofficial requirement of being used in savoury contexts and/or having low sugar content (hence why pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, etc are generally considered vegetables while also being fruits botanically) not to mention mushrooms that are often considered vegetables, despite not even being plants so the whole “fruit vs vegetable” doesn’t make much sense because they’re not mutually exclusive categories! there’s even some weird ones like strawberries, which are neither berry nor fruit. the edible part is actually an enlarged stem, and what we call the seeds are actually the fruit, with even tinier seeds in the middle! berry is a botanical term for a fruit that produces a single fruit from each flower with multiple seeds inside. So melons like cucumber or watermelon are berries, bananas are berries, tomatoes are berries, blueberries are berries, but strawberries and raspberries aren’t! then there’s nuts which are actually fruits but most people don’t think of them as fruit or vegetable, legumes are all seeds, and peanuts are legumes not nuts! basically there’s botany, where these words are all really important, but the way we use them, categories like fruit, vegetable, berry, nut, seed etc are all morphological, not scientific. you don’t put tomato in fruit salad, you put strawberries in a berry smoothie, you put peanuts in nut mix, and you probably shouldn’t count sugarcane towards your 5 servings of veggies. basiclly jules was right that they’re related to cucumbers, and right that cucumbers are vegetables, but you’re right that both of them are fruit

I think by that logic of being in the same family, watermelons and cucumbers are fruits because they are both ovaries with seeds, not the other way round like you said.

[@JulesCookingGlobal]

Cucumber is a vegetable. To be precise, a fruit vegetable. That is, cucumber belongs to the vegetables from which we eat the fruit of the plant. Just like peppers and tomatoes, for example.

[@bigbrain296]

@@JulesCookingGlobal exactly my point. If you use the culinary logic of categorising fruit/veg, then cucumber is a veg and watermelon is a fruit. But what you were saying in the video is 'since cucumber is a veg, watermelon is also a veg', which doesn't make sense.

[@josephcasella1075]

Your assertion that watermelon is a vegetable is inaccurate, a better assertion would be that cucumber is a fruit. A great video though, really loved the concept

@@JulesCookingGlobal botanically speaking, cucumbers, squash, peppers, tomatoes, and even green beans are all fruits as they are the swollen ovaries of a flowering plant.
