Filet Mignon: A Dinner Experiment
มุมมอง 1.3K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Another round of "use wa you hab" (use what you have)... Got some pumpkin, broccolini, beef tenderloin, and two potatoes to party. Ended up with filet mignon, potato cake, pumpkin purée, white wine peppercorn butter sauce, and lightly sautéed broccolini. Would definitely make this again (with some adjustments).

I love bagels, but since I can't get them baked fresh in Antigua I have to make them myself. Here's the process of me making my favorite type. Once I get the ingredients actually measured properly I'll share a full recipe in a tutorial video. What are your favorite bagels?

Experiment: Brioche Roll Meets Babka
มุมมอง 2157 หลายเดือนก่อน
I wanted to make brioche rolls and I also wanted to make babka, so I decided to make them both at the same time. Had some blackberries and white chocolate which then became a blackberry coulis and a caramelized white chocolate cream respectively. I think it turned out great. Let me know if you guys want a recipe/guide.

มุมมอง 44K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my VERY UNTRADITIONAL method of making a classic French omelette. Once you get this down you'll be one step closer to making it the traditional way, but I promise most people won't be able to tell the difference. ;) Just remember this takes practice and patience. DM me on IG if you need any other tips or want to share your progress. Good luck guys!

After starting with saltfish here's a quick tutorial on how I make chopup. Traditionally, most Antiguans would make it with eggplant, but I prefer pumpkin as a vegetable. Feel free to mix and match and make it whatever way you like! Part 1: How to make saltfish (that's not oily) th-cam.com/video/MWnpOrFOu40/w-d-xo.html Part 3: How to make ducana COMING SOON!!
How to Cook Saltfish (that's not oily)
มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick tutorial on how to cook saltfish that's not drowning in oil. My mic broke during recording. :(
Hey, thanks for the video. Is table spoon of butter critical? It feels too much, I never cook with this much butter
You can use less if you want, as long as you have a really good non-stick pan. The butter does add some extra flavor.
Yesssss!! Antiguan food is gourmet food!!
THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!
@beefzus absolutely!
Bravo! Chef!
The plastic fork and the music had me in tears…. 😢😢😅
😂🤣😂
Hello i am a French and a cook, i work in a hotel early in the morning, i am at the omelette station, i see the video, it is an other way to do an omelette …we usually dont mix herbs , the omelette is always plain … i understand everyone taste …sure ! there is a different way , to do an omelet quicker and without layers,a French omelet is one block of cooked eggs,soft outside and juicy inside
Yeah you're right. I was just showing a way that may be easier for some people to start leaning how to make it. :)
Mr eloquently speaking man I know u never spent a day downtown..everybody and them mother know that chicken back cookdown brownstew style and fry dumplin on the side is what we know as jamaican as chop up....this what u doing is the first am seeing this
Well every island often has a different name for different things or even the same things. Same vibe here. :)
Trying this in the morning, wish me luck
Looked a little rough, but tasted fantastic
@@Alchemic_Spawn I wish I had pictures of my first attempts. Literally just turned it into scrambled eggs. Just keep at it! :)
🔥🔥
U can do no wrong when u prepare a meal and lets not talk about the editing 🙌🏾
I try a thing or two, lol. :)
I have better success with a wooden spatula.
Whatever works best for you is the right way! :)
Not even close to a true French omelette bro, you got to do a lot more homework
Would be happy to see your take on it. Maybe you could teach us all a thing or two. Keep me posted if you do publish something. :)
You give me hope that I may someday make a French omelette.
You will and I believe in you! :)
Nice work! Jacques Pepin would give you high marks for this (I presume you've seen the Master do this.). A few observations: I noticed you used the palm side up with your left hand to gently place the finished omelet on the plate. This is the correct technique and ensures the open seam of the omelet rests on the bottom of your plate. Most novices might miss this subtle but important technique in producing the perfect shape omelet. You were using a gas cooktop, which is preferred as you can more evenly heat the pan. It is more difficult but not impossible to produce the uniform cooking of the curds with induction cooktops as the magnet is a smaller ring that pulses on/off to heat the pan. Radiant heat glass cooktops perform better than induction for this as it provides a more complete heating surface, but it still cycles on/off during the heating process. I only bring this up to make others aware of advantages/disadvantages of different heat sources when making omelets. You also mentioned low heat, while I prefer medium-high, but I think your suggestion is probably safer, although it likely takes a little longer to complete the cooking process. Then again you have more time to place your cheese on the outer end of the egg mixture without fear of burning/browning the egg surface beneath. Jacques Pepin very vigorously rocks the pan back and forth while stirring the egg mixture in a figure eight stroke using a metal fork on a non-stick pan. I wince when I see the metal fork (bottom side of the tongs) rapidly whisk through the eggs. As Superman used to say: "Don't try this at home kids!" ;-) For us mere mortals a plastic fork as you show or a stiff spatula is preferred. I'm pleased you pointed out the value of a quality non-stick omelet pan (10"). I use a Le Creuset non-stick heavy bottom 10" omelet pan, and rarely use it for anything else but making omelets. I'm sure there are other high quality non-stick brands that work well too, but I've tried others and the experience is really frustrating-in the trash these go! On the cheese, I found that placing the cheese strips as shown in your video in the microwave for about 10 seconds on a paper towel softens these so when the strips are placed in the still open omelet, these melt perfectly into the egg mixture without risking the dreaded browning of the egg surface. If you have a gas cooktop you can bang the far edge opposite the handle onto the cooktop to release the flap and then flip it over to close the omelet. But I would never do this on a induction or radiant heat glass cooktops. Your technique is much preferred with these heat sources. Lastly, butter! It's essential as you point out, and rubbing some over the cooked omelet gives that glistened appearance as finishing touch. Again, nice work on the omelet. These are not easy and require lots of practice, but the end result is heavenly.
Thank you for such a detailed comment and your insight as well. I think all of us definitely benefited/learned something from it in some way. I definitely don't know how the prominent pros do it with metal forks in non-stick. I assume they have some super pro-grade non-stick that I can't afford or they can afford to just replace pans monthly, lol. For us normal folks, a wooden fork, chopsticks, spatula, silicone whisk, etc. works. I just figured everyone at least has a plastic fork laying around and it's the most accessible thing.
Sorry, plastic in heat pan?
At low heat it's not gonna do it anything. You could also use a wooden fork if you have one around. Whatever you do, don't use metal. 💀
That looks amazing! 😋 I hate browned omelettes!! 😝
French omelettes are the way to go! 😁
Don’t give up your day job!!!!!!!
I won't, lol.
Wow! Beautiful. Awesome video
Thank you! :)
You are welcome
I actually prefer a well browned omelette. And burnt bubble and squeak 😂
For a traditional omelette, I definitely do too! :)
Are you kidding ? NEED.
Pull up! :)
Giant WHO !? Delish
They could NEVER! LOL
The content, the editing, the FOOD. Stunning.
Merci! :)
I've never had a bagel before, well atleast not that could remember of. Am one of those type of people who looks at food n say i don't eat that without ever tasting it. But ur food always looks so yummy
Well we definitely need to fix that. They're sooooo good!!!
Amazingly beautiful
Thank you! :)
The music and ambiance is *chefs kiss*
Thanks! :)
Sir you made me get glowing reviews on my chop up
As you should!!! 😁😁 Sounds like you knocked it out of the park!
this was a wonderful with actual helpful, tips ! the first video that mentioned using a plastic fork rather than metal ! I cringed even when the famous chefs use metal !
Metal in non-stick is a HUGE no for me. I'm happy you found this helpful though. :)
That's a decent looking vomelette
Merci! :)
Most outstanding!
Thank you! :)
My daughter and I followed this recipe for her SS SBA on culture.
I'm so happy I could help! :)
As a French who's passionate about cooking, I say well done to you, that is an interesting way to do a French omelette easily. I've tried it and found it quite easy, although it is quite important to adjust the temperature of the skillet properly.
Thanks you, I'm glad you liked it. Yes I agree; temperature is very important.
This looks so delicious and pretty - it is torture not to be able to taste it!
I'm sorry? 😊
This is absolutely beautiful! Both the cinematography and the music - a joy to watch! The food looks stunning!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :)
I learnt some new aspects of how to shape an omelette. Thank you.
Happy I could help!. :)
I dont wanna sound like a show off and I have been an amateur cook for a number of years but i made one of these on my first try. key id a HEALTHY nonstick pan and attantion
Extra stress on the HEALTHY non-stick pan! :) I wish I had your luck my first time. 😭
Wow!!!! That was the BEST explanation and video I've ever seen on making a French omelet. Thank you so much!! 🤗
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it! :)
Beautiful❤ wow!
Thank you! 😊
Are you looking for an intern?! 🔥🔥👌🏾
I should be asking you that! 😁
Hey im french and ive never seen an "omelette" like this. It looks like the one in japan to be honest. Most of our omelettes are flat and we can incorporate things. most common are omelette de pomme de terre (potato omelette), onions one, cheese one .. Maybe its not from my region but yet never saw one like this in my country Its looks good tho :)
Yeah you do have a point there. I make mine rounded purely for the look of it. I don't think I've tried it with potatoes before. Is it closer to a Spanish omelette in flavor?
This is really not what’s up🫣
Lol, ok.
I find amusing...the non professional cooks criticizing how a CHEF prepares a dish !!! Do your thing Chef, for the ones wanting to learn..and if they wish put their own twist on the dishes..
@@carlalamar6193 Yeah, that fork is WAAAAAY pro. This has nothing to do with my professional background though
@@freddiemonroe5787 ?
The most understandable omelet video!!!!! Now I understand clearly what I’m doing with the eggs🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you 🎉
I'm glad you liked it. Happy I could help! :)
Are you kidding with that black pepper?
Try it! :) ...but if you don't like it don't use it.
@@beefzushe's talking about the 2 kilos of pepper on the omelette
There was so much love in the placement of this meal. I'm still trying to figure out a way to taste through the screen. 🤔😍😋💖
Ha ha ha! I love me some ducana! :)
Blessed hands, Nothing but quality. Great Job !
Aww, why thank you! :)
I would agree to use plastic (quickly) or rubber utensils on a nonstick pan. But I just got Ramsay's Hexclad and just made the best French omelet I've ever made! Oh, btw take it off the heat, then back on, and yes, tapping on the handle is the best ❤
I've never used hexclad before. You find it lives up to the hype?
🥲 Do tings Beef!!!
Awesome!!!!!
Thank you! :)
Talent at its best
Thanks! 😊😊
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
As a person who HATES beets.....I would definitely eat this. 😍
What about raisins... 👀
