- Making my way through Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" cookbook... like the movie "Julie & Julia". Today I make Fish Poached in White Wine (à la Bretonne). Specifically I'm cooking with Sole... But I ended up buying a whole fish, so I also have to learn how to gut and fillet fish.

Julia Child would love this guy. He meticulously and respectfully follows each and every step she laid out in her recipes. Best cooking show on TH-cam. Well done.
I love how chaotic this is. It's really accurate to trying to figure out what the hell julia is talking about.
glad I'm not the only one..
I have learnt so.much from those books
She never had Word
CONGRATS ON MAKING YOUR FISH FLAVORED COLESLAW!
Not sure if anyone's pointed this out or not- but that's actually not a knife sharpener. That's a tuner. It helps rearrange the edge of the blade AFTER you sharpen it. To sharpen a blade, you'll need an actual sharpener or some kind of porous stone/clay/etc. (whetstone). Tuning a knife is important for getting a better edge and making sure your sharp edge lasts longer. You'll still need to actually sharpen the knife though, lol.
I did not know that! Just learned something new :)
8:42 His best Julia Child impression.
Julia does this in The French Chef Season 5: Episode 4. She starts with a big stack of whole soles that she caught herself! She demonstrates how to fillet them, then does the recipe
This is my favourite channel on YT, hands down.
☺️
As someone that cleans as they cook this show is like watching a train wreck but you can’t look way. Having said that I love this channel.
Jamie, you're the best! I've made this recipe on several occasion, and you didn't do so badly. Some points:
Use a boneing knife...the one with the narrow thin blade with a curved tip...it's designed for that purpose. Sole is delicate and hard to handle. So,
you can poach the entire fish first. Remove the guts and place the entire fish in the liquid, and poach for 5 minutes or so. Remove and let cool. The skin comes off easily. Make a cut down the middle of the fish's back and gently push away from the skeleton. You should get 4 neat filets from this...then proceed as normal.
Love these tips! Thanks
The passing grade for a waiter is filleting the COOKED fish table side. Part of the show. This is not done with a knife, but with 2 spoons, or a spoon and a fork.
If cooked properly the flesh should pull away, leaving the skeleton clean. The bones are then lifted away from the remaining flesh.
"Stupid dots of butter" is going to be my mantra from now on whenever they are called for.
I love the fact he show everything, like oh I forget the celery!
These videos are inspiring me to cook better food more and to go outside my comfort zone. Thank you for your hard work!
Not me it doesn't. To me it's a funny horror show. Sort of like watching a beheading, which had a positive ending.

The way that Julia Child's cookbooks are like modules, that you add on to your skills from the basic idea. It's very strange, and quite different to most cookbooks, but honestly it's really cool, because it makes a person think about how so much of cooking is just repeating basic skills over and over until you master them. It's so fricking confusing though. When I first used the book, I would copy the whole process out by hand, which helped me understand all the nuances. Then I had my version of the recipe in my recipe box that I could use. So often, I could just streamline it down to be much shorter....Marcella Hazan has a really similar recipe to this that skips the cream/cheese and butter topping. It's my favorite way to prepare fish and it's really fast. The poaching liquid is kept and can be served over polenta with the fish. I mean I get it, Britanny is cold and rainy AF, and they have more dairy than they know what to do with, but I think most people eat fish to be a little healthier, ya know?
I think people really miss the point with recipes. They arent rules set in stone, they are more like guidelines you kind of get an idea and then change things according to what you like and what works best for you.
Any flat fish like sole or flounder is the hardest to clean and filet properly to begin with.
I think he did pretty good with one of the most delicate fish as his first try.
Yep.this is exactly what it's like to follow Julia Child recipe
I feel like you should be much more popular than you are this cooking series is my favourite of all time!
I love this series. Please keep it going man.
I made this tonight. It turned out very good! The Swiss cheese paired very nicely with the fish!
Veg, white wine sauce, fish all under a gratin? Gotta love Julia!
😂
My mouth is watering that dish looked really delicious. If your fish flakes and is opaque in colour you've cooked it perfectly. Well done you!
This is the chaos I expect from French Cuisine, I am definitely going to try to make this.
You did awesome for your first fish cleaning and filleting. Sole are awkward fish to start with! Bravo!
If your knives need sharpening, I suggest using a sharpener rather than a honing steel
You know the video is great when there is lotta mess in his kitchen ❤️
truth
A little tip for your fish ,especially sole, fold the ends into the middle overlaping each other. It creates a more even layer of fish and allows for more controlled cooking as the fish is then an even thickness. I say this as what you have currently done will overcut the edges (the thinnest part) way before the thicker part is cooked.
When he asked “do you have a sole” I thought he was asking them an existential question… 😂
What I love about Jamie is he keeps it real by showing exactly what a god-awful mess he makes in his kitchen and stove-top :)
That was looking kinda dicey until the broiler: then it really came together and looked delicious! Congrats on filleting the fish! Now I’m going to go dot some butter all over my dinner!
What you may want to consider doing for the complex variants involving multiple recipes is re-writing them as one recipe for yourself that is only the steps you're going to do as one recipe. It'll probably also help you work out what is actually going on before hand.
I belly laughed watching you break down that fish. It was oddly reminiscent of my first Thanksgiving turkey that would've definitely been not only overcooked but overcooked with the neck bone and bag of giblets still inside. A phone call from mom in which she asked: "Did you take out the bag?" Me: "Bag, what bag?" No way was I stuffing it so I figured my hands wouldn't need to go in there.
Silly me.
You rock Jamie. Keep going.
By the time your channel has a million subs you'll be a pro chef lol
This is why you should always read through the entire recipe a couple of times and prep all the ingredients 🤣 It's okay, Jamie, we've all been there and still don't learn our lesson at times
Here before you blow up. Love finding hidden TH-cam gems!!
The end product looks great! Yummm
Discovered you last night and I love your videos 🥰 the chaos is relatable af... thank you for the laughs and making me feel like I'm not alone in my culinary quests
This is the "I Love Lucy" of youtube cooking channels.
So much chaos, and fun to watch! It looked so good when you took it out of the oven, did not expect that honestly! But it does give hope to your fellow beginning cooks!
Pure comedy gold.
I am also as chaotic when trying to follow Julia’s method. ❤ but it has to be exactly as how she directed. Love to see that I am not the only one!
you look so over it, at the end. I laughed so much.
I've never "taken on" a whole fish....I might just try it now....thanks for another great ep 👍
Woo hoo! Happy day that I found an unwatched Jamie and Julia! 😂
Tip; cook the fish after cutting off the side fins. Then you can use your knife to draw aside the cooked flesh from the boneses.
I know this is an older video but you peeled that fish pretty well ! I ended up tearing it off the head when I tried... Popping eyes is a great way to lose your appetite, lol ! Love this series, you make me want to get that book (I'm French, might as well learn more about my country's recipes)
If I had to cut up a whole fish like that I would cry, they are such beautiful creatures, the most majestic of animals…
This is my most favorite cooking video of all time. I’ll just say, no you didn’t. 😂. Love your content. Keep it up!
Not easy I think you did the best you could with what you had, better than I would have my first try. 😊
Julia also wants you to save the fish frame, skin, head and scraps to make a fish stock
Love the channel sir. Every third episode or so is a personal nightmare of mine. Perfect October viewing.
7:25 my mother made that exact groan useing that cookbook.
Man your funny, when you just lose it and are like screw it dump the liquid out..... I feel ya. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jamie learning how to fillet a fish starting at #3 difficulty fish. lol
Awesome job on the fish !
I think you are doing a great job of showing how men should not be afraid of tackling a French recipe. The content was entertaining and you have a great presence on camera. Bonne chance, et continuer le bon travail.
love the chaotic energy in this for what ends up looking like a western okonomiyaki!
It all turned out! it looked delicious : ) and (im glad you forgot the celery)
I used to work as a professional fish cutter at a grocery store and I just wish I could help guide you through filleting 😂
Small knife is better. You might want to consider investing in a boning knife, which is thin and good for cutting that requires finesse.
Great content! Looks great. I'll try it out myself!
I laughed out loud when you couldn't get that sauce to reduce so you just threw some out! lol
When working with leeks, you may wish to wash them after you cut them up. They tend to get little gritty sandy bits between the layers as they grow.
My parents taught us to filet any fish we caught, shuck clams, oysters and muscles as a kid.....lucky for us. We grew up "preparing" lobster and we grew up appreciating sardines and anchovies.
I think Jamie is in a new time zone
There's this knife that came with just about every knife set I've ever owned. It's called a Filet Knife. Always wondered what its purpose was....
😂
Do you ever look back at these older vids and think, wow, look how far I've come!
Please make JC’s Timbales...just watched the video... I want to watch you figure it out and make it. This is just right for your series “One more time with Julia “ (oh, please!).
Amazing confusion ! I love it
I laughed. I cried. It moved me Bob! (Weird veggie tales reference)
But most of all, it inspired me. This little series of yours is a highlight.
Oh. And I love your Le Creuset. Purple is my favourite colour and, of course, 2 months after I got my ocean ones that purple came out.
This video paused itself twice so my iPad’s Siri could respond to Jamie’s voice saying, “Hey, Siri!”
Hi Jamie, I realise that you didn't know at the time of this video but flat fish like sole actually have 4 fillets each not just 2 like other fish such as bream etc. Filleting fish is hard enough at the best of times but you did a pretty good job considering it was your first time. If you haven't already done so you might want to invest in a sharpening stone for you knives so you can get a proper edge on the blade, because a steel won't do that.
I like what Andrew said! I too love how chaotic this is! I feel like you need a link to the video where you actually perfect it! 😉
Crazy process! I admit I felt anxious for you.
I'm shocked she never used an eseveche technique. Love your channel man. ❤
I'm not sure if it was the editing but you seemed to try and do this recipe in speed rounds! lol
Once I had the veggies on the stove and the fish poaching...things got wild there for a moment..
Yum
I can’t help wondering what dizzying heights Jamie’s cholesterol has climbed to since he started cooking Julia’s recipes!
The cholesterol scare ended decades ago…
Wow what a complicated recipe-it looked delicious at the end, I want to try this now
Not me. I don't care that it looked delicious. I'll stick with my comfort zone with Jacques. To me this is mystery chaos theater.
Hey Jamie! Did you reduce the amount of veggies to 2 portions but make the full amount of sauce for 6 portions?! That was pretty saucy and looks soooo good!
You do realize Jamie, that any video on TH-cam can be played slower. If you lower the playback speed it’s easier to catch those details hth.
Now I need to ask a friend to bring me back a fish from the shores.
The music hilarious
Our only fish dish in cooking school was fileting a sole and cooking it in parsley sauce. It was not very tasty at all.
This one looks a lot better tasting.
👍From a Breton.
Love your channel!
Recipe: dot with butter
Me: What kind of dot? Pencil dot? Polka dot? Maybe it's like those candy dots. Or how about dot com? I think I got this dot thing down! Now, how many? --> proceeds to cover the entire dish with dots.
There is a reason knives have names like boning knife or filet knife. Don't get me wrong, if you can only have one knife, the the chef knife is the utility tool you want, but if you have the other tools, you should probably use them. (and don't lie, I know you have the other tools)
When you just poured off some of the sauce base I was like, "Forgive him Father, he knows not what he does."
I laughed the whole way through lmao
I ain’t gutt’n no fish! I’m watching episode but wasn’t enjoying the first part so I got up and ate chocolate! I am interested in figuring out how to cook fish though. This is something I’ve never been able to talk myself into. I can cook but I can just barely cook shrimp and fish.
Super job on that sole, and the final result looked terrific. Looked to me like you were dotting just fine. Julia would have added more vermouth too. 👏 Hope you're both keeping well in your secret location, looking forward to seeing you again when you're ready 👍
cool porfin, your back
Jamie...Jamie...Jamie... check the bottom of page ix in the book: "... have impressed upon us the fact that all too often a debutant cook will start in enthusiastically on a new dish without ever reading the recipe first. ..." Love the video, but don't skip her lessons. ;-) BTW she also encourages the little variations along the way, like vermouth. A recipe is an ingredients list, or a suggestion. Take it where you may!
I love your enthusiasm n u trying to underrated julia is 🤣
This was a confusing one!!
You said you could go with or without the cheese on top. The grated cheese gave that nice brown on top, so I might rethink that if I were you.
Muito bom! Deve ter ficado uma delícia! 😋
A tip: Read the whole recipe before starting to cook. Make sure, before you start, you have placed all your ingrediënts in the right amount on the countertop. They should be cleaned and cut. That way you can't forget anything and if you did, you can still buy it, because you didn't start cooking yet. You will find this way of cooking way more easy.
I’m picturing Siri running to n from the other room. “Here I am”
If you like it, that’s all that matters
Still cool recipe.
You're a hoot!😄
❤
In French, barely covered is called " À Fleur" and the protein should never be submerged by the liquid. A good tip, if the fish is flaky, its means its overcooked
A comment for the algorithm. ^^
