My dear friend always dreamed of going to cooking to France to take cooking lessons from a famous Chef . She is now unable to travel as she has cancer. I sent her your utube video because I knew she would love you ! You bring joy to many people stuck at home . Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge 🤗❤️🇨🇦

I love this cookery channel. Chef Jean Pierre always makes me smile. We're all a bit tired of seeing angry chefs losing their minds in a foul mouthed tirade because somebody's burnt a bit of broccoli, whereas chef Jean Pierre shows passion about his food with a healthy dose of good humour and infectious charm that is just wonderful to see. And that is the true talent of a good teacher, they include you, they tell you it's better to make a mistake and learn from it than freak out because you've slightly overcooked something. Just learn from it and try and get it right next time. I can honestly say that I have learned more from this channel than any other about cookery, and even better I've enjoyed every minute of it. Well done chef, don't change, keep teaching and keep us smiling, that's where the real passion and joy of the kitchen lie, in the one room in the house that brings us all together.❤

I agree with Nick, however, it would be much more helpful if you would provide a list of ingredients and quantities for use as a guide. It would sure help me follow along with your video.

[@doroparker1702]

@@michaelsalmon6436 just watch the video, stop it and write down Onions one bowl Shallots one bowl Garlic, ten cloves Fry in butter ghee until caramelized for good taste. Then you stop the video, write down what you need to know. White wine, half a bottle Turkey necks 5 to 7 Turkey wings 4 to 5 Turkey hearts Turkey livers Fry it all in butterghee Then you write again Add chicken stock, homemade 1 bowl of celery 1 bowl of carrots Herbs Thym Salvia Rosemary Pepper Salt I have to watch again, was there nothing else? I put in bay leaves and parsley as well. He does a great trick with the flour, he just puts a sieve in and stirs in the flour directly. I normally pour butter in a small pot, put in some flour and melt it together. It will be thick like toothpaste. Then I stir in spoon by spoon of broth until it is liquid. I put this thick liquid into the pot with gravy and cook it for five minutes so it thickens all of the broth in the pot. I was watching two thirds from his video. I did not stop in between, so maybe I missed some ingredients. I cook chicken stock very often, so most is same to my recipe. I just do same with chicken, not turkey. Never tried turkey. Have to try, I guess.

[@dennispatrick7158]

As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in the early 1970s it is a real treat to watch traditional gravy being taught and made. It is wonderful Chef that you are sharing the knowledge that you have with the public to help them be better cooks at home. The simple yet important trick, telling folks to bring your liquid to boil before putting in the corn starch, is such an basic cooking technique that folks don't know about until you teach it. Bravo Chef. I love your work. DP

Morning Chef! Would it be possible to make a request for a video? Maybe a quick tutorial on herbs. Which one's to use just the leaves and which ones where it's okay to use stems and leaves. Sometimes it gets confusing with rosemary and cilantro and thyme etc... which ones to strip off the leaves and which ones it's okay to cook the upper stems too! Thanks and have a great week!!

Chef Jean-Pierre, I made your traditional gravy recipe yesterday for an all-church Thanksgiving buffet, and my warming crock was revisited repeatedly by those going back for “seconds.” You were given all the credit. I then today took all the saved vegetables and turkey necks sieved from the gravy recipe and simmered them with the turkey carcass to make stock. Fantastic flavor still. You, Sir, are a treasure.

As a lifelong American I invite you to join us, even if you're not in the States, to celebrate those things in life you're thankful for. We shouldn't need a holiday for that, but thankfully we have one. If nothing else just as an excuse to enjoy time around the table with family and friends.

@@willyjimmy8881 Yes I can't agree more! It's the start of winter for most of us and it's the first holiday to gather with family since Independence Day on the 4th of July. Christmas has become such a stressful event, so Thanksgiving is now the perfect holiday. You catch up with people, you eat the richest food of the year dowsed in gravy, you sit and watch football while the food digests, and then you hopefully take a monumentous shit and nap in a chair until everyone else is leaving and you can go home without awkward goodbyes.

[@kendavis8046]

Chef, you seem to have such joy in teaching! I was in IT for 45+ years before retiring, but I was the guy in high school where one of my friends used to routinely say (in the group we hung out with together) "Let's go to Ken's house and let him simmer something up for us." I've made a couple of your recipes since discovering your channel, but I have to say that your "Beef stock from store bought" recipe was a game changer for me! And the carrots that were used were cut into little disks after the cook, and dried in my dehydrator, because they end up being healthy treats for our two dogs. And I have at least 16 more years with the stock I have frozen! (It won't last that long, though, because it is so good.)

[@joemiller3538]

Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre! I discovered you just a few days ago and have been binge-watching everything Thanksgiving since! I watched this gravy video several times carefully. I adore gravy and as someone who has hosted and cooked the family Thanksgiving for years, I am always disappointed that by the time the turkey comes out to rest, I'm frantically finishing the side dishes and rolls and am always rushed trying to make the gravy. I have always been disappointed. Today I made your recipe, exactly, except about 1/4 of the volume. It came out so good, I could eat it as a soup! I am so excited to finally present a from-scratch gravy, my family will rave about! Thank you! Love your humor, teaching style, excitement, and love for what you do! Keep the video lessons coming!

You dropping these recipes every day is helping me more than you can know. I already switched my wild mushroom soup to your sweet potato soup, and now this is going to be my gravy, bc I usually do a sweet sherry gravy, and frankly, I'm a little bored with it. The only question remains is that when people ask me for the recipes, am I going to tell them the truth, bc after a full week of prepping and cooking, I'd like to wallow in just a little bit of the credit and glory.

[@mobility63]

My Mom was from Dijon. She would make the stock a couple days before with the neck, gizzards, liver and heart. Then she'd pick the meat off the neck and chopped all of the innards and meat very very finely. Then after the turkey came out she would take the pan underneath with the drippings, put it on a stove burner, deglaze with a little white wine, scraping the bits with a wooden spoon, then add the stock, bring it to a boil and add the cornstarch slurry and whisk to the desired thickness, add a little butter, whisk and add all the finely chopped meats. Oh the flavor😋

Even if they did, it would be edited out and no one would be the wiser...and honestly, they all start becoming the same and actually quite forgettable. Not with Chef Jean-Pierre, though!

[@doroparker1702]

Well, your culinary school did it the French way then. Chef Jean- Pierre is not only a name for a youtuber. He is a real French chef, which means he studied all things in the kitchen for four years. He knows about ingredients, chemistry, cutting meat properly and how to grow it, how to cut it, how to cook it, how to preserve it. He did run a professional restaurant for... 35 years? He said it in an early video. Of course in a professional kitchen he didn't cut the onyo himself in his restaurant. He was just observing everything and made sure it all was perfect. The youngest one in the kitchen does all the cutting onyo and carrots and parsley and so on. The second year guys are allowed to chop the other vegetables. The third year's can prepare things like soups and sauces, I guess. The fourth years do meat or even later they are allowed to do meat. There is a strict hierarchy in a professional French kitchen. All European hotels and restaurants work like this. Every chef has his station and he is responsible for the stuff on his station. There is demi - chef, sous - chef and lots of other titles. Same goes for desert. There are years of training before those guys are allowed to do some desert for a restaurant. Even if they are very talented and all this wonderful, they need to stick to the schedule and learn all about food first.

I messed up and got too much flour in at the beginning and it not only coated the spoon, it wouldn't drip off without banging the spoon! OOOOPPPS but the chef taught me how to fix it. I added more stock and cooked it some more. At the end I added some corn starch and it came out perfect! My family thinks I am a genus! And a Rocket Scientist Thanks Chef!!

"Gently salty" needs to be on a Chef JP t-shirt 😂

OMGosh I used this recipe and finally made a perfect gravy! Nothing I've done in years past has been wonderful, imo, but this is. Thanks!

I love this guy. My go to channel when i need to learn to cook something new

[@paulh7589]

I've been told I have a very amusing personality but I am nowhere near Jean-Pierre. He knows all the tricks in the kitchen, I know all the tricks of home improvement but I could not hold your attention for more than five minutes. He does it for 20 minutes. He is so entertaining that when the video is over you feel sad that it ended. I would love to have his gift so I could make installing a toilet entertaining. Jean-Pierre, every time one of your videos end I can't wait for the next one. You are the greatest! I have learned so much from you and have been very entertained by you. I'm a 56 year old man that looks forward to your next video like a kid looking forward to Christmas morning. Almost a year ago I got my Wife to subscribe, in the following months my whole extended family has subscribed. We all say "onyo" now. I almost choked when my Brother was making a pork roast and said "look look look look look!" Jean-Pierre, you are the best ever.

The most thorough cooking channel I have encountered so far, or could be the only one out there. thanks chef JP!

[@dubas1974]

This guy is the best! I love his content. Authentic! :)

[@rosawa1961]

He's funny and keeps me smiling!

[@amiinsc7775]

Hello Chef, My mother is French and watching you cook is like seeing her do the same. One thing she did for her fabulous gravy was finely chop up the turkey meat and vegies and put them back in the gravy. Pour that over the turkey and stuffing. So amazing !!

[@TheNukewarfare2]

I worked in a restaurant for years, and I’ve been cooking for years, and I still make rookie mistakes. It’s nice to have those “back to basics” reminders. They are always helpful! … Also, I accept your invitation to come over to your house and have cognac and turkey gravy. 🤣🤣

One of the great joys of the fall is re-watching Chef Jean-Pierre's videos so that I can prepare truly special meals for the family during the holidays. His efforts have brought joy and comfort to so many. À votre santé!

[@azamnowrouzi7507]

I lov your laugh your accent. The way you teaching Chef Jean Pierre you are super star

[@tierneyyoung9333]

You and Jack mean the world to so many people.

[@BobMakovei]

What a great guy!...

[@stevegyllstrom689]

Chef, thank you for this video. My family loved this and the stuffing so much, that they've told me I MUST make them again for Christmas. Thank you're FANTASTIC!

[@sjhicksfamily5493]

Short videos serve a particular purpose but I prefer the longer videos to get the in depth process for maximum results. Very good job on this gravy recipe. Trust me I will be trying this at home. God bless.

[@warmwoolsoxgood4559]

Love this. Love this man. Love this channel. You will LEARN so much here, folks. You’ll be so glad you watched! The colander/flour method: who knew? Beautiful! This is how I do mine every Thanksgiving, too. Makes the meal so much easier; do it the day before! I roast mine quite darkly in a hot oven first, the wings and necks, removing each as it gets perfectly browned well. The onyo etc. veg I do in a sauté pan. I like that control best. Herbs and wine go into the pot with it all and my chicken stock, too. I tell you this is how to do it! Gravy is everything on Thanksgiving. Well, besides some heartfelt gratitude for your wonderful life! 😊👍❤️👍😊 Mahalo nui, Chef. Don’t change a thing!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 😊

[@barbarafinn9499]

Wow, I so can't wait to try this soup. Im making it this Thanksgiving! Its so cold where I live, it will be fantastic!

[@j.c.ferrell1154]

Wow, the channel is really growing. Used to be if you came in in the first hour there was maybe a hundred views now we're up to almost 3,000 way to go chef!

[@EricCalebCullen]

Finding some ingredient you didn't like and turned it into something you enjoy I think is the whole point of cooking

[@Justin-A-Carter]

Yes and you run like cooking schools and stuff like that and you're on here on KZbin sharing your knowledge. I just accidentally found your channel and I'm completely enamored with everything you do. I like your approach. And it feels so warm and inviting when you call us all friends

[@Neoprototype]

Protip: Instead of cornstarch, use nixtamalized corn flour (masa) to thicken it like an atole, giving it a delicious flavour profile.

[@jeanjackson2324]

This chief, cracks me up, OMG, he makes a wild gravy…. My step Mom was French, she made the same gravy with wine, also ! It’s a great gravy ! Thank you Chief ! Yes, she added the butter last also, such a great gravy …….Woe !

[@justindemichele8736]

Long live Jean-Pierre!

[@gennybernard5877]

I love this gravy recipe, it's very much the same as my mom's turkey gravy recipe. To stretch the gravy, finely cut up dark meat, about a cup, and carmelize sliced button mushrooms, about a cup, and stir the meat and mushrooms into the pot just before serving. Thank you, Chef, for sharing your recipe with us. The taste of this gravy is worth the time and effort it takes to make it. Tip: pick the meat off of the neck, finely cut up the heart, liver, and kidneys, pulverize the vegetables in a blender, and add everything into the turkey dressing.

[@nightraincat3434]

Oh my goodness, you are so funny and entertaining! I'm learning so much from you. I wish that I could taste your food! I've never seen gravy made this way, my mom always did it the drippings way, but my gravy never tasted as good as hers anyway. I love watching your videos! Thank you and God bless you! ☺️

[@Littopastor]

Chef Jean Pierre has in ways strengthened my cooking. My family finishes my food these days...wonder why?? Thanks chef.

[@danielabisenius9858]

Impeccable skills and knowledge and a contagious beautiful personality! Please NEVER shorten your videos, they are never too long.

[@cmdrbnd007bond8]

I'm to the point we're I know I can like the video before I even watch it. You've never let me down. Everything you cook looks "amazing!"
