Please don’t cut off some steps like the potatoes, asparagus etc.. even if you had done it thousands time’s, I like to watch your videos even if it’s longer than 20mins❤️ your show is so relatable and good because it reflects what we do in kitchen, not the professional editing videos in other channels that skip through every bit of the recipes. Keep it up Jamie great work 👏🏻

[@Hale444]

I'd agree with this, I don't mind a longer video.

Do not roast an artichoke- steam the leaves- Julia is BRUTAL in her treatment of artichokes

[@lanceharsh7025]

Yes, she is. However back when she was taught that was the French method. At least that was what I was taught.

[@valarya]

The way Julia butchers artichokes makes me cry 😅

Next time, do your steaks before the sauce. You'll have at least 5 to 10 mins because the steaks need to rest. Also pour in hot water to heat the thermos up. Wait 5 mins. Dump water and put your sauce in. Learn from my mistakes lol.

[@jcriverside]

The thermos idea was terrific!

[@jacquelinehunter8452]

Alternatively, if your butter/egg sauces thicken up, you can thin them by adding a little bit more melted butter.

[@BirdieBirdieBirdie566]

Oh this is a good idea. I always do the steak second which makes less sense

[@Doktracy]

Great idea,I’ll use it when I make homemade eggs Benedict with homemade English muffins for a special breakfast.

[@alc5440]

The ability to understand and describe flavors comes with experience. You've already gotten a ton better at it over the years as you've worked on developing your cooking skills. In some of your more recent dessert videos you do a great job describing the flavors because you have more experience as a result of the marathon of dessert recipes. Give yourself a little credit for how much you've grown!

[@KiraRagged]

I heard this yesterday from the "How to Drink" cocktail channel about learning to give tasting notes. He said that there's an exercise that has you practice with music first. You listen to pieces of classical music multiple times, training yourself to pick out and focus on one particular instrument with each listen. He said that once you can do that, you're able to transpose that skill to tastes. I figure if it works for drinks, it probably would for food too.

[@LivinInSim]

I never have given notes on how something tastes. But I have a hunch that maybe you should almost talk with your mouth full, as the flavors are sometimes as fleeting as dreams. I think that scents are the same way. They do stick in one's memory, but for me they are wan and not full fledged until I actually smell them again and can then say exactly what they are. I think of how it smells when it rains. It's there, but when I actually smell it, it's full force in my brain. I can remember the flavors of great meals I've cooked in the same way. They are pastel compared to the vividness of eating them again.

[@Jayzie00]

I set off the smoke alarm every time I cook bacon and always wonder how other people manage not to, so this was actually a very encouraging episode for me. 😂 Thanks, Jaime!

[@caittails]

He’s a true role model for people like me, who just take out the battery if it goes off while I’m cooking. 😅

[@FrauleinDaniels]

Cooking bacon in the oven helps.

[@jamesflames6987]

That's why you need to blanch it.

[@mrouschkateer]

Lower heat, longer cook, and drain the grease in between batches. Or bake it.

[@Queen_Blood_Rose]

Ikr? The problem is removing the battery for me is not only pointless but also a violation of my lease. In addition, there are heat sensors over my stove, so literally, every time I use the oven, it goes off. Management keeps saying they'll fix it, but I've been here almost ten years, and nothing has ever been attempted. 😢

[@merrick2752]

Jamie follows a recipe exactly, a rare thing, maintaining the integrity of the dish as intended by the author. A very talented food artisan in the process of becoming a serious gastronome I get the hunch whatever Jamie applied himself to he would excel in that endeavor. Witnessing his journey is a joy.

[@treasuremuch9185]

Looks to be a fabulous meal. Here's a tip: don't use glass baking dishes over open flame. They can and do shatter. You can put in microwave instead to melt your butter, or do that in the regular oven, before you add the artichokes. About the discarded leaves, don't roast them, won't be tender, but do steam them in a colander over water and then dip them in melted butter with garlic and lemon.

[@justjeni83]

I learned this the hard way. Oven safe does not mean heat safe. Direct heat on a glass baking dish is a recipe for disaster.

[@adriennefloreen]

Jamie, if you can find them there is a special type of artichoke with tiny leaves and a huge heart used for this. I am sure you can buy them somewhere, we grow a few plants of them in California. The leaves are tiny, like 1/2 inch long or smaller, and you can if you wish cook them and dip them in something if you want to eat a bunch of tiny artichoke leaves but they're really grown for the heart.

[@peterdavis2233]

Another excellent vid. Well done. I especially love how you turn what could be ruinous distractions into characters--the sirens, the groaning fridge, the late great Scott the Snail. Even the vacuuming neighbors upstairs are now a fun part of the show. Cultivate that relationship. After all, they seem to provide you with an endless supply of bowls and sieves on demand. How you managed that, I'll never know...

[@Litokaan]

Jaques Pepin has a few vids on preparing (not so old school) artichoke bottoms, called “turning”. He and Julia Child also have a video on artichokes. Note that you will need a very good vegetable peeler and a sharp pairing knife for this preparation and it does produce quite a bit of waste. It is far easier to steam them (leaf side down in the steamer for 20 - 30 minutes depending on the size) and it produces less waste. Once steamed you can easily separate the bottom from leaves and the leaves from the thistle (spiney inner non-edible part). To avoid discoloration, prior to steaming, rub the cut off areas (stem, top third of the leaves and the spines at the ends of the leaves) with lemon juice from a cut in half lemon. Once separated from the leaves, use a spoon to scoop out the choke (small spinney leaves in the center) from the bottom. Use a pairing knife to trim the bottom, to make it pretty, as needed. The separated leaves can be placed in a small bowl for serving with your fav dip (melted butter, mayo, aioli, etc.). Remember to have a bowl on the table for the spent leaves.

Bearnaise sauce is good with absolutely anything (well, not cake, but….). I grow tarragon for this purpose. I only make it a couple of times a year because of all the butter, but then I eat it with gusto! 🇦🇺😊

Not sure about roasting artichoke leaves but I prepare the whole thing by boiling it w some lemon and then dip bottom of leaves in lemon butter, slide along teeth to remove tender part, once done w leaves, get to heart and dip it in lemon butter. Thinking you could’ve just prepared them this way and then used hearts in rest of recipe

[@4nn13h7]

I have wished for a taste of most of the dishes he’s made on this show, but this one most of all. Wow.

[@TheChristmasNinja12]

I think the reason your steaks were smoking so much was from the butter. When you were basting, it looked totally burnt! The milk solids in butter burn really easily at the temps you need for steak, which is why you typically add the butter into the pan after you get a good sear on. If you want to start the steaks in butter you need to use ghee or clarified butter.

[@TheRobyynn]

If you add oil to the butter it doesn’t smoke so much

[@leifiverson8549]

​@@TheRobyynnhomemakers' lie. It still burns.

ORDER UP!..it's just not an episode without that glory. Feeling that rush to turn off the fire alarm, lol. You read the books, know what you need to do to make tasty food at home, and then you create so much more smoke than you could have ever imagined before. And all you can think, "I hope my neighbors didn't hear that ear piercing beep..." I hope I remember to put the smoke alarm back up on the wall... :) I did love that this recipe bring together the skills and techniques from earlier episodes, like a final exam in a way. Jaimie passed with flying colors and at least 1 or more stars. At least...Kappa. Super smart to take each steak, one at a time. We've seen, we've felt the tension, when Julia's recipe, even with Jaimie trying to adjust as best he can... leads to less than optimal tho still tasty results. Here... it's a Freakin Win. It looked so good. He did so good. Mmm, bacon.. but yeah bacon does become unexpectedly odd when blanched. Alas the flavor was given up in the process so it's still worth it's name. It was super cool to see how dextrous Jaimie was with the artichoke this go round even as his second attempt. It's a steep learning curve but was fast. Seriously tho, it seems so wasteful with how much is tossed, even if what is tossed isn't the most useful or tasty. Ah well, we do end up with the best bits. Watching how easy it is to clean the pans O.o... they look sick. I know someone who is a far better and invested cook so.. maybe. Big City, Big Siren Energy. The one time I went to San Francisco, tagging along for a free trip with my friend with all the free fancy food from a Chinese Wedding Feast.. Heck Yeah..., lol... anyways... Couldn't sleep cause sirens all night and all day...I've stayed in NY for a summer internship as well and, you just learn to accept the noise, but, you know for a YT video production, Jaimie is gonna notice anything and everything, cause he knows the value of good audio. It's almost more important than video. Also, visit NYC, it's so cool. Genuine Bourbon Recommendation: Old Forrester 1920, it's certainly more pricy than the usual suspects but it's worth it. Super flavorful even with the higher proof. It's such a good balance of the expected and unexpected. As for wine...I'm trying but raisins.Still with a nice piece of beef, it just works. What a journey with this recipe. Jaimie says he can't talk but yet actually speaks freely and eloquently. The effort is clear, from the smoke to the stress to the sweat on the brow. This channel is real, and that is all any of us can ask. Jaimie here, is enough.

[@DOSBoxMom]

Good to see that you were thinking about what to do with all of those artichoke leaves you didn't need for today's recipe. (The one time I've eaten artichoke in the past, I think they were whole and we ate the (cooked) leaves. That was a few decades ago, though, so I may not be remembering all of the details about how they were cooked.)

[@endeeray4295]

Omg the entire thing with that lovely red wine. Must make.

[@mleys3248]

Good call on experimenting with the bacon. Thumbs up. For the artichokes, I would consider boiling them with the leaves on. And afterwards removing the leaves and the barb. You will find it easier to release the bottom of the artichoke. You can order the leaves of the artichoke in a bowl, reheat them 30 seconds in the microwave and you can eat the artichoke leaves by dipping them in a vinaigrette. Just an idea :-)

[@adamrk1973]

Jamie, thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video. I have seen you progress so much, yet the natural humor and quirkiness remains. Never lose it! I grew up watching Julia Child and the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) as a kid, and isn't it amazing I became a chef for 30 some years. I realize the effort of production you put into these videos, they are not made "on the fly" (restaurant term). What you do is well thought out, yet unique and original. Please don't change the format! The Food Network used to be my go-to, but anymore they are all cookie cutter crap shows. Same with Gordon Ramsey. His original BBC Kitchen Nightmares was enjoyable in its rawness. The Fox tv version of any of his many shows are all typical "FOXED" productions. In other words, crap IMHO. I was fortunate to have a radio cooking show in the 1990s (90 to 99) in Maryland, that took about 8 hours on a weekend to produce five- 15 minutes shows to be broadcast the following week. Fun, but required effort. Can you cook on the radio? No, but you can script it!. In any case, I support you and always look forward to more. Please consider Graham Kerr. He is another lost art old school chef. Thanks! Your friend in NC, Robert Adams

[@mizztab3677]

Beating is indeed different than whisking. It’s true both are mixing, but look at the tools used. Spoons (flat paddles) and whisks (wire cages) treat the ingredients differently - primarily whisks add air and move the mixture in smaller bits than a spoon). Your steaks look fantastic as does the béarnaise.
