Even being a chef and making mistakes, shows how easy it is for any one to slip up. I’m glad you shoot the whole time you’re working. Shows no edits on that part. Much appreciated.

What makes Chef JP the best is his charm and charisma and he's down-to-earth, and most importantly, he has never forgotten his mum or grandma 😀

[@DrNinjar]

Don't forget the buttah.

[@cpm9747]

Chef, every time you forget something, it makes me smile, cause you don't fret over it. You don't get upset, you just fix it as best you can and keep going and remind us sometimes, "It'll be delicious anyways, even if it's not perfect." You don't just teach us how to cook, y'know, you show us a better way to live in the world.

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

Keeping it real :) It’s a charming thing actually because it’s more realistic to what happens in home cooking.

[@MrGravylegs]

I’m absolutely in love with the “off camera” Candid moments of Chef enjoying his meal!’ Magical!! Thank you all so much!!! I have made so many more of these meals that Chef JP makes here on his channel in comparison to ALL the rest of the food channels I subscribe to combined!! (And there’s a lot!!) Thanks again!! Looking forward to making more!!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thanks so much 😊

[@carmelasortino8979]

This video brought tears to my eyes. My mom made these for all the special occasions. She made them and leave them in the fridge over night. They would be fried the next morning. Like your grandma she put them through the egg and breadcrumbs twice. Thank you so much chef. We need to keep these recipes and traditions going. ❤❤❤

[@godivaferguson2802]

The double dunk makes them more crunchy, yum!

[@lindagardiner9795]

Oh Chef! So many of my Italian grandmothers recipes were lost to us (Alzheimer’s)-and was full on crying remembering this one! Her cooking dinner and me sitting in her kitchen watching her magic every day when I got home from school. I had forgotten all about this gem! Happy to have it back. Thank you 💟

[@angelayurman2216]

Chef thank you for your video on rice balls. I’ve actually been making them for 50+ years in all sizes from cocktail to appetizer to side dish. BUT I can’t tell you how much easier it was after you suggested the rice ball mold. WOW…Perfect! Thanks for teaching this old lady a new trick. Angela

You are a mind reader! My Dad and i literally just talked about trying to make arancini! We've never had it, but thanks to you i feel confident that we can do it. And i bet either chili or jambalaya would make a killer stuffing, too! Much love to you all 💖🙏🕊

[@michelleharkness7549]

Off the record- ( btw ) : we thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕: Mr. Fabulous Jean- Pierre ( Master Chef 👩‍🍳)

[@ThyLLiS-]

For me the best cuisine ever is the cuisine passed down from generations to generations. We all remember this special dish our grandmas, mothers, aunties, etc. made that we loved, even if sometimes it was very simple like for exemple one of my great aunt use to make penne with basil, cream and parmesan cheese. It is the simplest thing ever, but guys, just by talking about it I'm salivating. As a French man with Italian and Corsican backgrounds living in Germany, Chef Jean Pierre makes me so proud to see an Italian/French Chef so loved on the internet and sharing his tricks and recipes. And finally : maaaaan those arancinis look soooo delicious.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@RiadKhan801]

They would be so proud of you, I am sure! My they rest in peace, we are all thankful for the knowledge they have departed to us via you Chef! Wonderful!

[@carlvanich8296]

This is one of the top 3 cooking channels. Such a humble beast

[@markiobook8639]

I love how Chef Jean Pierre shares with us comfort food and budget food as much as gourmet food. A lot of simple home food is delicious- it doesn't all have to be micro-flavour-chemical-gourmet Michelin star nonsense. Most of "gourmet food" is a variant of normal food. For example Krug champagne- how did they drink Krug? With lead-crystal champagne flutes or Marie Antoinette boobie shaped glasses?! No-with a krug- a simple glazed earthen ware coffee-mug. It's simply bubbly white wine monks invented.

[@trinitywright7122]

I have never seen such big balls. (Risotto balls.) And the way you cook the risotto and did them several times in the egg and crumbs was magnificent I only wish I could taste it. Now what I extremely very much liked was you being you after you told Jack to turn the camera off😂 This is what I tuned in for originally a year or so ago and this is what I've been missing! Please please don't leave out your personality and leave out the funny parts. Because that's what we like the best. The stories. The putting too much in your mouth, then making funny jokes, and all that stuff. The recipes are second best to all those❤

[@joeschmoe2659]

Balls and sausage! This sounds like a good concocktion for a first date! Bon apetite!

Oh, I have always wanted to know how to make these balls! Sunday after church I went to Costco and purchased a jar of organic roasted red peppers to make your pepper coulis. So I think we are all set to go after I get home from Florida!

I love bolognese stuffed Arancini. My family made them like that when I was a kid. My grandma was from. Naples and another part of the family was from Calabria. Great job JP!

[@angelap32]

My late Sicilian Mother used to make this with peas added... SOOO GOOD!! She was THE BEST COOK EVER!!! Everything was always FRESH and HOMEMADE ❤❤❤

[@Rotti1313]

I have learned so much over the past couple of years from this master of a chef. But, my rice balls are 2nd to none. 😁

[@iitsMikeB]

There's something about the simplicity of arancini that I just love. On the outside, it seems sofisticated in more ways than one, but in truth, it is one of the most fun Italian foods you'll ever make, and it doesn't even take that long to make them either.

Magnifique! Quelle précision dans les cuissons! Arancini veut dire littéralement "petites oranges" en sicilien. Pour accentuer le côté "orange", on peut utiliser un peu de safran pour colorer le riz, et même la chapelure.

One of my closest and oldest friends and I spoke tonight. He's an observant Jew and I mentioned Chef. He cooks a lot and very well. Though he wasn't observant in our youth and made some awesome shrimp dishes. "You want to watch Chef Jean-Pierre. He explains so well and just adjust the recipes to be kosher. Oil instead of clarified butter when doing meat. And as Chef says, if you don't have chicken broth use vegetable broth! Can't use Bolognese? Use a marinara! " Trading chefs and recipes with friends. Chef has a couple of new fans.
