jamie, i think i speak for us all when i say we dont care about the ac. have it on if you need !

[@k.m.223]

Seconded. Run the ac. It can't be any worse than the vacuuming was.

​@@k.m.223 😂

[@gummycats]

yes girl it's hot as sin out!!! especially with all those ring lights in your face- if you need the ac, you need the ac!

[@jimbob-robob]

No. You can't speak for all of us and it's very wrong to assume you ever can. But I agree that the a/c background noise wouldn't put me off the show...

[@esthermcafee5293]

Another voice to the chorus saying go ahead and run the AC! We don’t need total silence - in fact I’m kind of hoping after the baby is born we’ll get to hear happy baby noises sometimes too.

[@rachelmick4051]

I visited the Julia Child exhibit at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture this past weekend and was delighted to see your smiling face in the display of movies, books, tv shows, chefs etc. who were inspired by Julia.

[@ShanRenxin]

"We've got our eight cloves of garlic. Actually, this is nine." Good thing you're not driving then.

[@steffenpanning2776]

yes. with this much garlic, there's always the the danger that the windscreen is going to get blind

[@lyndaandrian7204]

Yep agree, we don't care about AC noise

[@LuLuVonCline-kv9xx]

Favorite moments 1.) Vanilla bean incident 2.) Cheese grater trial and error

[@TrippingtheBrightFantastic]

Vanilla bean incident? 🤔 Forgive me, I have not yet binged all of Jamie's videos.

[@notyourlioness1625]

@@TrippingtheBrightFantastic He scraped all the seeds from a split vanilla bean pod (as the recipe did intend) and threw them out to continue with the scraped-out bean pod (as the recipe very much did not intend) 💀 He realised three seconds later when he read the next line of the recipe, it was glorious

[@Veronica.John10-10]

Don't forget the haunted spinning bowls....

[@TrippingtheBrightFantastic]

​@@notyourlioness1625 😮🤦‍♀️ Thank you for explaining. That kind of thing happens in the kitchen. 😆 Ask me how I know!

[@queenzebra8219]

Is it terrible of me to bring up the Stanley incident? I simply can’t ever forget the look on Jamie’s face! 😂

[@todo9633]

I think this video is probably the best measure of how much you're improved as a cook. The smoothness of decision making and how well you handled all the many different processes was impressive to see.

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

I was going to say the same thing! He's making impressive decisions on the fly, and knows how to tackle any technique he comes across now.

[@KassFireborn]

I relate intensely to the moment you uncapped the new cheese grater and all the cheese fell out.

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

well seeing as most cheap graters do not have any lid or bottom flap to keep stuff in, it's not surprising he did not immediately realize how it was supposed to work ;) Having a big pile of cheese on the cutting board is common with grating ;)

[@gammonspeaks7937]

if you're having issues identifying which is which, you can shape the croquettes differently, like round for cheese and square for shrimp. that way even after they've been in the fridge all mixed up you'll always know which is which.

[@luminiferous1960]

Not always, since the next day you may look in the fridge and say "Now, which shape did I make the shrimp croquettes." 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂😊

[@labcat647]

Yes! That moment in the video when I realize I have the cookbook, all the ingredients, and the day free to try this recipe… thanks for teaching us to be fearless… looks like I’m dining on shrimp and Swiss cheese croquettes tomorrow.

[@Shay2Ted]

Jamie. Put the the Silver fox on a lower shelf, so the sirens won't one day be coming for u when he falls on your head. Or puts your back out.

[@pwp8737]

Glad to see you back with Julia, she would be proud of you. Not many cooks on tv/internet would show their mishaps like the "cheese grater incident". Kudos to you. Love your show, garlic breath and all.

[@marshawargo7238]

Or the piping bag incident 😂!

[@faithsrvtrip8768]

I was stationed at a remote site / barracks in the former West Germany (1982-83) and the small villiage of Massweiler. They had the very best croquettes, seared rump steak, and herb salat. I went back in the late 90s and the owner served me the exact same dishes. So simple. With good beer! Beautiful memories, as well. You had to go outside, to use the toilet. One side was the toilets. The other side was the barn, full of cows! These were old style gasthauses. People on the top, cows on the bottom / or on the side. Great little village. There were only 2 gasthauses. There was no dip. The filling was potato. I made Chef Pierre's Chicken Kiev. Totally overdid the garlic. I love garlic but that was too much!

[@vexaris1890]

Yeah, I only knew potato croquettes - never seen any other croquettes in Germany. I was confused because I expected the potatoes to turn up!

[@diamondstud322]

Yay! A Jamie and Julia! And for once after I ate dinner, so I don’t have to immediately get some food after the video. 😂

[@marshawargo7238]

I'm watching at 4AM, but I never eat breakfast anyway❤!

[@ve2vfd]

1 - Wow that looks delicious! 2- You look like you ran a marathon, gotta find a way to make that AC work while filming.

[@reggiebuffat]

Jamie’s comfort is one thing but the ingredients condition is another, it might cause problems cooking ingredients that have been sweating under the studio lights. I would definitely recommend to leave the AC on. That’ll remind us old timers of the good ole days with the Hoover.

[@becomingsophiesceliaclife]

I agree, run the a/c. With my portable a/c and 6 fans running I can't hear yours at all and even if I could I wouldn't mind. I love that you posted at quarter to six (Pacific standard time) because I only get to watch YT at night. I've never been this early to one of your videos 😊

[@candyparent2483]

Another vote for the AC! Be comfortable Jamie. Those look delicious!! They

[@magm9719]

Hi Jaime! I’m from Belgium and my grandma made the best croquettes for Christmas ❤ I miss her every day … I wish she shared that recipe with me but I was 9 when she passed unexpectedly 😢 and I miss her every day… ❤

[@TheMaryWriter]

Holy aïoli, Anti-Chef, that looked so good. I'm glad you piled them all on the plate--it would have been a crime to leave any of the goodness out. Also, the picture of Julia with the butter always makes me smile.

[@pannagasrig9535]

This is easily my comfort KZbin channel!! I can always count on it to calm me down, make me forget my anxieties and just bask in Jamie's effortlessly carefree cooking😌

[@robinsmith5442]

I appreciate your smooth jazz music. It goes well with your cooking!

[@giannablack5770]

I also appreciate that it is not too loud. A lot you tubers have the back ground music too loud.

[@Motsham]

It's not even Smooth Jazz. I'd say is similar to New York Jazz. There was even a Bossa Nova song at some point in this video. Listen to Smooth Jazz and then New York Jazz and you'll hear the difference.

[@robinsmith5442]

@Motsham I was going to say it reminded me of early Charlie Brown shows but I thought some people wouldn't know what that was. 😊😊

[@damaclese2]

I’m a professional chef or was I’m retired now but I really enjoy watching this videos sometimes I’m a little frustrated but I so appreciate the tenacity and the willingness to start over to get it right you’ve come along way

[@cam232425]

I can't tell you how big of a smile I got at the end of a long, awful day when I saw a new Jamie and Julia video in my feed. Thanks so much for everything you do ❤

[@christinegraham2579]

You should have the A/C on, I’d be so much happier knowing that you’re comfortable while making these awesome videos! And, these recipes are phenomenal!

[@barbarahallowell2613]

I've loved watching your show over the years. From trying to follow recipes and having no clue but persisting to understanding what everything meant and learning and following recipes exactly to now being confident in your skills and knowledge to use 9 cloves, the whole egg yolk and more cheese, because hey, More cheese. It's been great to watch the progression and I've picked up some great skills, tips and recipes over the years. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@LindaB651]

I remember my mother, back in the 70's or 80's, trying to make Julia's croquettes (chicken.) We were kinda' poor, so she used leftover chicken, and it was absolutely delicious!

[@janetplanet09]

Cuz the cream, cheese, and butter! It’s a great technique. The only time I made croquettes I just made a béchamel. It was a goopy fail. Your mom rocked!

[@janetplanet09]

By the way-it’s a great way to upcycle leftovers. Now that I know the super hard sauce technique, man, you can use potatoes, canned tuna, canned deviled ham, really delicious jamón ibérico. Dream it, fry it, smother it in aioli. Life is good!

[@hanshendriksen72]

Oh the things this Dutch guy in Chicago would do for a decent croquette. On a slice of bread with a little mustard.

[@pjef1956]

Jamie, those croquettes are a perfect golden brown .... and they look absolutely delicious. The aioli, which you made completely by hand, was the perfect consistency. Another success !!

[@kineticfractal6804]

I always watch Jamie's commercials, too - he's just such an appealing person...

[@trinleywangmo]

He could do commercials fer real.

[@Pierre-LucTremblay]

Looks beautiful! Julia called them "Petites fondues frites" which means little fried fondues. My mom used to make these for holidays every year.

[@werelemur1138]

Adding the gruyere with your heart. And another vote for the AC.

[@danielletrejo9843]

Everyone gather round, Jamie’s on!

[@MadameX_]

The cheese grater scene and later on calling the croquette arrangement , “ avant--garde” going in the Jamie list of fabulous moments. 😂 👏

[@debrascott8775]

Leave the AC on! Be comfortable!

[@williamharberts5514]

More than anything, I'm glad you are back to cooking one of Julia's recipes.

[@bethotoole6569]

I come agree!! I've missed the JC recipes!!

[@JoannaHammond]

Anti-Chef proves one thing, anyone can learn to cook if they just put the effort in. I'm not sayng anyone can be a great cook, but they can learn to cook.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Your videos always make My day! Happy to see you adept in Your new kitchen

[@KNPrince]

You know Jamie is in a good mood when he comes out with "Moe-Foe" during a video.. I actually had to go back and repeat that part to be sure I heard it correctly...! The croquettes look divine by the way.. would love to come visit with you Jamie I bet I'd leave weighing ten to fifteen pounds heavier due to your awesome cooking skills! And as with everyone else on the channel that are fans of yours Jamie.. Turn on the bloody AC.. We don't care!

[@douniazedouar5693]

I think this is the calmest i have ever seen Jamie

[@scottbuck1572]

I cant even hear the AC; I got mine on too, it cancels it out. Wonderful video as always :)

[@Danielruth42]

Cool advice I learned when breading things. Have a wet hand and a dry hand. When you put something in the milk or egg. Wet hand. As you toss it in the flower or bread crumbs. Dry hand. It will help avoid accumulating wads of batter on your fingers. You didn’t get wags this time from what I saw. But I just wanted to share because I’ve learned so much from you.

[@ShellyS2060]

Ok,true story, I never heard the fridge. I guess I won't hear the a/c

[@elizabethhowe2110]

The fridge was posessed. Altho it sounded more like my old ice maker. Jamie was challenging it to a fiight at one point. If you need the AC on, flip it on. If you can't be heard, turn off the video until it's cool enough, then reverse the two. Better than Jamie and the food both melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. That's how accidents occur.

[@elizabethhowe2110]

That's not the A/C. That's the stove fan. And it wasn't thst loud.

[@danielherrick6192]

Of course crazy garlic breath....you put 9 (!) cloves in! Bet it was super tasty though. Big fans over here from Boston and so excited for the little croquette to come. (At one point in this video, we did say "Christy must be so glad he's not in the house...you put one slice of bread in our oven?!?!?) - so pleased that you have a dedicated filming space. Thanks for all of the entertaining videos and we look forward to many more.

[@nancyreid8729]

Maybe it was the gin & tonic, but this one had me laughing nearly non-stop; thank you!

[@rachel_369]

I think the classic Julia recipes from that cookbook are my favourite :)

[@robkuijpers9617]

Nice video! As a Dutchman; two tips; use dutch shrimps (small grey shrimps) and buy them with head, these heads are used to boil in milk and reduce for the typical taste the belgians have. This you use for the filling.

[@cecilbrisley5185]

Proud you are a Canadian! I love how your series demonstrates the value of making mistakes. As I tell my kids, nothing teaches you better than mistakes, so don't be afraid to try. Also perseverance, stubbornness. Keep trying, get angry and determined. Done this my whole life and the things I can do, the things I have learned is huge.

[@karaamundson3964]

Dang, James, your channel is a GIFT. And this episode was was truly one of the greats.

[@fugoo8912]

Funny, I just had a craving for croquettes so I made my own chili and cheese stuffed chicken ones. Yes, I’m an alchemist.

[@gillesblanchard1699]

The Croquettes recipe presentation was spectacular! I could almost hear Julia Child's joyful laughter and satisfaction as I was engrossed in your teaching method. Watching your video brought happiness to my life. Thank you for infusing such passion into the preparation of French cuisine!

[@rosemcbride1813]

Stay comfy. We will adapt. Love your studio kitchen. Keep cooking. I have learned so much. I am an old widow. I don’t cook like I used to. But I would make this in a heartbeat.

[@loraleiffxi]

Looks amazing! Love your new place. I can't wait to see what else you produce in there.

[@lorieunicorn]

I have never enjoyed any teaching cooking videos more than yours! I'm late to the party and just found you yesterday. So sad I didn't find you sooner but now I get to binge watch! 😊

[@Kriss-bx2rl]

You have come so far, a true inspiration. Yes, use the air conditioner, it’s quieter than the sirens!

[@johnsperka2253]

Best conference building cooking show! You do the hard shit so we don’t have to! Your show is really approaching “slick and smooth” with your new space!

[@rosehawke2577]

I recall that when I was much younger, which would probably have been in Julia's heyday, garlic bulbs seemed to be as a rule much smaller. I suspect that four garlic cloves in that aioli would have been plenty.

[@bdoeden64]

God, I love that you include your mistakes. It makes your videos so accessible and approachable!

[@faykguru]

Happy to pay a visit anytime and try anything you make, Jamie.

[@madarik]

It’s so fun to watch these interpretations of allioli, in Spain is a common sauce that we have with almost every dish (mostly in the Mediterranean side) The name comes from the catalán languaje and just means garlic and oil: “all i oli”. I’m actually kind of proud of seeing it made the oldschool way in a morter ❤❤

[@eliseleonard3477]

Jamie, so glad you made croquettes! My mom in the 60’s-70’s always made turkey croquettes on night 2 after thanksgiving (night 1 was hot turkey sandwiches with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy on top). That crispy outside and creamy inside is SO good. You need a small saucier so you don’t have to whisk in the corners for your bechamel! Talk to the MadeIn people 😉

[@ThePjl110]

Don't think I've ever been more proud of you than when you made that aioli in Morty! What an accomplishment. You are a true chef, not just an anti-chef!

[@life.with.sabine]

As a Dutch person a crispy breadcrumbs exterior makes heavenly.

[@KeithEdwinSchooley]

Love Charlie watching over us on the left and "Order Up!" on the right (3:08 and subsequent shots). Nice framing. Also nice to see a Julia recipe actually work as written. Looked great!

[@kristalee6585]

omgg, caught a jamie and julie episode early this time! thanks for the video!! 😆🙏

[@lofromfrance6478]

Instead of the cheese or shrimp filling you can mix with mash potatoes and fry and you have pommes dauphines and it’s delicious ❤❤❤

[@mashudusimone578]

These looked sooooo delicious! Jamie has come soooo far in his cooking skills

[@richhare3765]

You continue to amaze me with your videos. Love your humor - cheese grater is a classic - exactly what I'd do. You and Julie continue to be my favorites. Thank you.

[@dougidoug]

Did a fantastic job of that. Her recipes are quite elaborate.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your content! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤

[@sonnetsings1]

I have been looking for this recipe since I was 12 and my dad and I saw Julia make it - we made it for New Years ( the cheese version) - you have made my life because I was never able to find it! Now I know.

[@jeremychoo934]

Forget about the butter to prevent the skin forming on the mornay. Just treat it like a custard and cover it with clingfilm with the film in contact with the surface of the mornay.

[@kikkirow]

This is my favorite youtube channel. This is the best part of my day when I wake up and find another Anti Chef episode to watch 😍. You’re the best!

[@earlchapman8729]

As a Canadian living in Belgium, I approve of your croquettes! Will be having some when I dine out this evening.

[@juliefordyce7372]

Have you tried a flat whisk? It's very helpful when whisking sauces in a saucepan, as it allows you to get into the corner. Oxo, not surprisingly, makes a great one. Also, next time you make aioli, add the olive oil in a very very thin stream.

[@agamerandstuff]

Fun fact garlic has emulsifying properties when broken down so it will help aiolis mayonnaise and other emulsions come together and even occasionally save a split sauce if added.

[@curtbonnell4308]

I love how you have Charles front & center when you were at the stove. You have come soooooooo far since your first foray into the kitchen. I did chuckle when you realized your error with the cheese grater, typical Jamie.

[@tbonetak]

Wet hand/dry hand! It makes breading so much cleaner.

[@GutnarmEVE]

just got home, relaxing with a bit of YT after a long day, evening, night at the pub. reading "croquette" and thinking creamy yet fluffy potato joy as a side to a gravy-rich main, I didn't expect you going from roux to bechamel to mornay within a minute. mmhm. ~16min to go on the vid, but right now I'd kill for some eggs benedict for a 4am 'midnight munchie'. guess a glass of beer'll have to suffice O.o

[@gillian7425]

I've only ever had ham croquettes, shrimp sounds out of this world!

[@stayfresh1832]

I think I'm going for sort of like a..uhh..ah pile (best presentation ever!!!)

[@tk97898]

Fantastic as ever Jamie! Grats on the new kitchen! 😊

[@elnamayberry]

If I am halving a recipe, I put a post-it note in the book and write the halved amounts on it. so I don't forget what I'm doing. (If it's just a printed out recipe, I write the halved amounts right on the page). Also, Julia might not mention, but whenever you're deep frying, make sure you have the pan lid nearby in case the oil catches on fire. Maybe you have it there out of frame, but it's good to have and I hope you never need it!

[@roxannewiest4259]

God bless you and your growing family Jamie. You are adorable and I love your videos.

[@JustSaralius]

Just a handy tip if you're making different fillings like this: You can make them different shapes so it's easier to tell them apart when cooked. ;)

[@Isthereromance]

It’s so good to hear and see the joy in your face with this recipe ❤❤❤

[@margoz7251]

Squares? SQUARES?????? My Dutch Canadian soul is melting!! Kroketten (Dutch/ Flemish spelling) are cylinder shaped!!! But your shape deprived version looked sooooo good!

I just bought those pots and pan. I can't wait to cook some of the recipes from Anti-Chef.

[@TarotLadyLissa]

i like to pipe my cooled filling into mozzarella stick shapes. if you freeze them, they're easier to bread. My grandma made them. She didn't pipe them, she hand-rolled them, but I'm extra! lol Also, please continue the dishes from each country series! I loved it!!
