I still have to learn how to say Fuyoh
Vincenzo! haha we should do a collab! maybe a Paella? :)
You should definitely collab with Chef James!!! It would be such an awesome video and collab
@@ChefJamesMakinsonwould love to see it.
I’m always up for watching Paella vids. I should try making a smaller one for Fishy Friday. I need to check at the fish shop for small quantities of shellfish.
Fuiyoh!
One thing I appreciate about uncle roger/Nigel is that he really does his research before taking on a bit... And then when push comes to shove, he puts the work in to be able to execute the dish... It's like this dude is going through cullinary school just for his alter ego.
😂
talk about sticking to the bit
I mean he is benefitting from putting the time and effort into his character cos learning to cook is great lmfao
maybe alot of TV chefs and the like should do the same. No one knows anything before researching / practicing. So I always respect that.
no, actually few minutes in google can do the work, but you'd be surprised how 90% people in the world doesn't know how to google, or just refused to do it blinded by pride.
Auntie Liz is quite witty and she follows uncle Roger’s hunor well. Love them together
yep!
best hunor
Thats the british humour :D Cant beat it
Stealing his "Sorry children" was hilarious.
@@navsingh9406 is it? XD how long he and her lives in UK lol
I think you should watch the recent three-way collab video between Uncle Roger, Guga, and Joshua Weissman. They cooked a huge number of really popular dishes and compared with and without MSG and rated how much the MSG improved it (if at all). The moral of the story is MSG is almost always an improvement, sometimes significantly, and used in moderation it doesn't really taste salty.
I should see it! :)
Uncle Roger calls MSG salt on crack for a reason. Just like salt, MSG helps bringing out the flavor of the food, but better than salt. The only problem is, that MSG is flavorful itself already so some restaurants would just brute force flavor with it, and MSG is half salt (sodium) so your sodium intake would go out the roof in this case… But when using it reasonably, MSG is awesome.
Yeah this. MSG stands for MonoSodium Glutamate but the Sodium in the name isn't where the magic is, it's the glutamate part. Glutamates are the pure essence of umami flavor. Virtually any food with a savory element to it will be enhanced by adding a little MSG.
Highly recommend!
almost always, yes. in a dish like carbo, no -- msg can only make up for having poor ingredients
I am quite impressed, but Liz did help him a lot, but that's no bad thing, you learn from the professionals and go from there. You can see the same in his Ramen video. Great video as always, James and keep up the great work. 😊👌
Thank you so much Frank! I think he has learned a lot since he start reviewing food!
That’s why I like about uncle rogers actual cooking vids. He shows off restaurants and chefs that deserve some more attention! While also giving them spotlight. But all in good fun. While making good food 🤘
I love how you review uncle Roger's videos and giving us some helpful tips to learn. I think you need to review Vincenzo making egg fried rice with uncle Roger reviewing
Great suggestion! I will have a look at it!
@ChefJamesMakinson you really don't want to haha. He really dropped the ball.
I love your style of these videos. You are not just revieving videos, you also telling facts as a professional. Love ur content!
I appreciate that! thank you! :)
It is why I actually prefer his versions. Vincenzo is nice too. He is like a funnier Lydia.
i suggest Chef James Makinson try to make Malaysia popular dish, The iconic Nasi Lemak XD
Thanks for the idea!
Yes let us see James Cook for us.
@@ChefJamesMakinson You are welcome^^
Malaysia are very well known of diversity from eastern to western cuisine^^ I hope you can visit Malaysia to explore around the beautiful nation ^^
would be fun video
Seconded!
James, Vincenzo and uncle Roger. My favorite lineup. For a 2ppl portion I use 1 full egg and 1 yolk
thank you! :)
Chef James Makinson I have to commit that you're good looking carismatic chef and not only that, your voice is very calming lots of bass and melodic. A perfect fit for a youtuber, reviewer and educator.
Wow, thank you! :)
Chef Makinson reviewing a video made by Uncle Roger, assisted by Chef Haigh, answering a challenge from Vincenzo, with cameos by Jean-Pierre, Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver, and even Gino D'Amato dropping by. This is another level of meta.
Love how Chef James actually give us really awesome tips that we could use at home while also having fun reviewing the video! Keep it up, sir! :D
So glad! :)
sometimes i feel a little silly watching a reaction of a reaction but your thoughts always balance out the strong youtube personalities and your videos are so wholesome (uncle rogers dirty remarks not included).
often feel like your opinion helps me remember that while there are definately incorrect ways of cooking, often there are multiple correct methods to do any given dish.
I appreciate that! :)
About the MSG thing: tomatoes have naturally occurring MSG, so I’m surprised Uncle Roger didn’t just mention that.
true but he likes a lot!
Uncle Roger and Auntie Liz together always means an excellent video lol. Love your channel as well James! You're always professional, no matter how ridiculous or atrocious the videos you review can be 🙏
Also your expression at 8:25 is priceless
Thank you so much!
Actually Vincenzo's Plate would be a great channel to do recreations from, because he's another chef who likes to showcase simple, tasty dishes. He is also very passionate about not faffing around with the traditional ingredients. And much more family friendly!
I like that you mentioned the option to substitute for those who don't eat pork. That perspective seems to get lost a lot in the debate over whether a dish is "traditional."
The Golden Balance made a carbonara video using beef bacon. Ive been curious to see what that would be like. Might try it soon.
it doesn't matter for people just wanting to make dinner at home
8:25 I need a GIF of that
😂
Here in the US at Amazon, I can get 4 different brands of guanciale from the US or Italy at ~$35-60/lb. I have never bought any, just noticed that it is available. Also, I love how comfortable Auntie Liz is with Uncle Roger now. The chemistry is lots of fun, even if it a little lewd. And thanks for the video. I love your chefy take on home cooking. Not everyone can afford to cook like a TV host.
Liz and Nigel are friends in real life. That makes it easier :)
James' faces to Uncle Roger's jokes are the best! lol
Hi chef.Huge fan of yours all the way from India.Just wanted to let you know that i love your simplistic,sobre and professional take on food reviews.Waiting for more videos of you exploring Indian cuisine.Your butter chicken video though looked "DELICIOSO"😂
Thank you so much! :) and yes it was!
MSG goes in everything, just like love. 😂
🤣
Hi James. There are many (perhaps, too many) review videos of - everything. However, yours from the perspective of a professional chef, are quite informative. You add real insight and you often insert clips to illustrate a point. Thank you. Keep doing that. Uncle Roger is a unique personality to say the least. I think we're quite sure Liz is not going to let him screw up the dish TOO much. However, editing changes everything.
Salting pasta water with MSG - that's a new one. I'm a little afraid to try.
Thank you so much! yes there are and I try to add what I can to a video. :)
I love that he managed to diss both Jamie and Gordon right out of the gate.
Two of the most famous chefs in the world getting poked by a comedian on their cooking is kinda hilarious.
I find myself watching your videos more and more, Chef James! I even learned a thing or two from your cooking tutorials. Keep up the great work!
that's great! I have a lot now! haha
Chef James slowly losing his sanity throughout the video was quite entertaining😂
Hopefully you've recovered already. Great video Chef :)
hahaha 😂 this one I had fun with!
A good nights sleep and some time in the kitchen and he will be OK again.
Great vid Chef James! Your tips are making me better in the kitchen 😄
Thank you so much!!
me too
it's a very common misconception that MSG is "salty".
you have 5 taste receptors on your tongue: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and savory (msg / umami). Equating msg to "salty" is like saying sour and bitter are the same.
edit: though to be fair, msg enhances the saltiness of a dish, so it is easy to conflate the two
Italian here. Generally we use 2 yolks and 1 whole egg as rapport. This was a good one, maybe a bit more guanciale needed. Msg idk, never tried too but i'll give it a go. Anyway i love Uncle Roger humor ✌️
I say call him out James and get that paella video! Yeah baby 😆
🤣 I think I should! :)
Your spock eyebrow raised to Uncle Roger's antics made me laugh pretty hard 😆 🤣
hahaha I can do the hand sign too
Really nice video! The editing and switching between the different viewpoints is incredibly well done.
Thank you!
I want to see Chefs Vincenzo, Jean Pierre and James Matkinson sit down and talk cooking....and then cook their favorite recipe for each other.
I would love that!
your reaction at 8:26 was so funny
🤣
My idea for a showdown recipe between you three would be Singapore noodles 😁
Great idea!!
Oh this one was a LOT with the jokes and innuendos😅 the Carbonara looked good tho!
yeah it was haha
I've worked at an upscale Italian restaurant for a few months, and we used about a 9:1 ratio of yolks to whole eggs in our Carbonara mix. We also did 3:1 Pecorino to Parmigiano as a cheese mix. I find a whole eggs carbonara a bit off putting in colour and texture usually, and we used the whites to do meringues in other recipes, so nothing was wasted (which is usually the main selling point of using whole eggs)
Its been years and I can still not get proper meringues done. So it remains whole eggs for me.
James, Liz, Uncle Roger and Vincenzo in one Video? Must See Video!
Hope you recovered from that horrible Cooks last week James? 😂😂
haha yes I have! :)
In my opinion, we need Chef James, Uncle Roger and Vincenzosplate to an onsite cooking class of each others dishes or something. This way, you get talent and expertise from one another that you can share. :)
That would be fun!
Great video Chef James! Packed with great cooks and lots of good info. What did you think of Uncle Rogers' sauce there? I think it could have been thinner and creamier.
Yes Chef James - call both uncle Roger and Vincenzo to make one of your Spanish dishes! Also yes I've seen all the Austin Powers movies! ❤
For not cooking a lot of YT I think he did pretty good but of course, it could be a bit better. So do I and I think you are right, time to call out both of them! :)
Finally a true chef. You don't need msg if your dish has flavors. If you need to msg then your dish isn't good. You need to start over.
A few days ago I invited my mum to a italian restaurant in our old neighbourhood. We've often been there in my teenage years, so I have some nice memories.
For the very first time, I ordered Carbonara.
Guess what. It was with cream. No egg whatsoever. Everything wrong.
I should've ordered my favourite pizza as usual.
If anything, you said "fuyoh" @ the perfect moment. That's how you say it & a perfect example of "when" you say it. Good on you, James! 🤘
🍻
🤣
I made Beef Rendang yesterday with my Balinese Friend. This was so satisfying and great to cook. The endproduct was so good and spicy. And off course we used MSG :D That might be a great dish for you to cook. And sure Austin Powers is like Monty Python. You have to watch it and love it :D
I haven't seen Monty Python in years!
I somehow made the toughest inedible Rendang. It still took forever to mess it up. I messed up in super slow motion. 💀
I’ve made this with chicken before for people who can’t eat pork. I marinated it in garlic, sage and rosemary normally on the guanciale and diced it into bite sized pieces- it was really nice 👍
Oh, you might get a kick out of this as a Spanish speaker, though my Spanish was different. I went to a Mexican bakery in downtown El Paso, I think I was 15, and just starting to learn Spanish. This was for a trades class I was in. I was supposed to order a dozen cream turnovers. But the bakery didn't speak English. Un doce empanadas de crema, came out of my mouth as un doce empanado de crema. The lady didn't give a young red head any slack, but luckily the lady behind me in line did, and stepped in.
🤣 hahaha yeah Spanish is a bit like English there are so many different types and the same word can mean other things haha
Vincenzo also thought that maybe Uncle Roger had some help from Auntie Liz, and that there were not enough shots of him doing the cooking.
Here's a thought: what if you were checking out a restaurant as a Michelin inspector? The food is divine, the place is squeaky clean, and the service is excellent, except everyone on the staff - from the chef de cuisine to the servers - all displayed Uncle Roger and Auntie Liz's sense of humor.
nice reaction video as always Chef, thanks for the additional ideas you give when watching
I appreciate that!
I don't know if it's just me but it seems like Uncle Roger was flirting a little with Auntie Liz here. I can totally relate with you every time Uncle Roger made those dirty jokes especially the last one when you made a face. That reaction of yours was a winner. Honestly, I was watching on your face expressions more than the video itself
Pancetta is an acceptable alternative, as it's still cured where bacon is smoked. Guanciale is a bit hard to find in my area, so I always pick it up when the one store has some. I'm surprised Vincenzo never got his uncle title, this is an older video from when Uncle Roger was just going viral. 🤔 Perhaps you'll be Uncle James soon!
I hope so!
Shots fired by Vincenzo haha..... Is it even possible for Uncle Roger to lose his Uncle title? lol 🤪
😂 haha
Yes, I learned how to cook in an Italian household, I married an Asian wife, and my daughter uses MSG in everything. Drives me crazy. I get it.
I’ve seen some people completely remove all the guanciale oil/grease, some remove half of it, and some keep all of the grease. What would you recommend when making Carbonara?
you need some of that fat
As carbonara goes, I have to agree the msg was a bit much, but it would be a great substitute for salt when boiling the pasta as you can use less. I prefer to use one whole egg to two yolks for mine and use smoked pork belly in place of guaciale because it’s easier for me to get it. Otherwise I’d say Uncle Roger didn’t do too bad at all, but I think you’re right about him getting a little help along the way.
Two videos in a week?? Chef is on fire!! And this reaction was unhinged 😂😂
haha I just recorded 3 video this week too now I have to edit them 😂
Love your videos as always, I'll be attempting to make chocolate fudge for the first time, wish me luck and I hope I don’t burn my house down 😂😅
🤣
I'm always learning something in your reviews, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain some things that might seem obvious to a professional chef like yourself. I need to try to cook this myself someday. 10/10
I appreciate that!
That was a great review video James. I must say the look on your face when Uncle Roger put MSG into the Carbonara was absolutely priceless. It had me in stitches. You looked genuinely mortified. None of Uncle Rogers videos are family friendly really.
Glad you enjoyed it!
With carbonara it's ok that the spaghetti was a bit undercooked and stiff, little trick my mom taught me with certain thick or creamy coatings/sauces is that it will keep the steam inside better and it will finish cooking. If you cook it perfectly but coat it with a thick cream, by the time you go to eat it. It will be a bit more cooked and mushier.
I prefer mostly following the recipe by Antonio Carluccio, who uses a whole egg+one yolk, for me - the perfect texture at the end, but I of course dont use any oil. And I also tend to clean the guanciale completely as Gabrielle Perilli does, it gives me more control over the seasoning as I dont know what exactly was put on the guanciale and I prefer larger cubes to small strips. I do go very heavy on pepper though as I love the taste... I tend to use the seasoned parts of guanciale that I cut off in the base of a ragout for a bit more complexity.
The funny thing is that Vincenzo has repeatedly stated that he likes Jamie Oliver and disagrees with Uncle Roger in this aspect, but he doesn't seem to like Gordon Ramsay because of the peas Carbonara desaster, while Uncle Roger seems to be sympathetic towards Ramsay. Are these forming frontlines? Is this a culinary battle royale? Which side are you on? 🤔
I used to work with Ramsay chefs so I'm used to his style of cooking not Jamie's.
😂
@@ChefJamesMakinsonFWIW, I've watched a lot of TV chefs like Jamie Oliver, Rachel Ray, etc.... Most of their offerings are, as Uncle Roger points out, heresy!
I look at it a bit differently. I would expect if you're a chef on TV, you'd have the decency to do a bit of research on how the dish is made before you make it on camera and make a mockery of the dish.
Before I made pho, I went to the interwebs and found a few recipes. I read through them all, took notes on the ingredients and techniques. I then went out and got the stuff I needed. It turned out very well.
Adding peas isn’t a crime just not traditional and Vincenzo looks for traditional
@@ChefJamesMakinson When Jamie was 'discovered' by tv, he was working in an italian restaurant; so he legitimately has some knowledge of the cuisine, hence why Vincenzo isn't finding so much fault with his cooking. He ruins every other cuisine though. Ramsay is a professionally trained chef, and while not perfect in every regard, he has demonstrated a genuine wealth of knowledge as well as curiosity and ability to learn more and refine his techniques in cuisines he is less familiar with.
My son when he was little refused to eat eggs, he said he wasn’t eating liquid chicken. He started saying this when he was about two and didn’t eat any eggs until about ten. I never told him him eggs were in a lot of his favorite food.😀😀
Chef james looks so done with uncle roger dirty jokes I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Egg whites for sure, i believe the yolk only is popular in EU due to regulation and eggs available already separated. Otherwise throwing out whites and replacing with salted pasta water is just a waste of protein.
You don't have to throw out the whites, beat them stiff and use them to make dessert instead. ;)
Nice seeing some video from Chef Jeanne Pierre's channel.
Watch Me Make Jamie Olivers Carbonara! th-cam.com/video/vpRbQ6RZ0rM/w-d-xo.html :)
We need a four way challenge, you, uncle roger, vincenzo and guga
All the egg fried rice videos Uncle Roger and you reviewed so far did not have any made by Vietnamese people. I'd love for you to review this Vietnamese egg fried rice th-cam.com/video/FR4DH5sSysI/w-d-xo.html and see what you think of it compared to the others . The audio is in Vietnamese but it's pretty much self explanatory from the video. The ingridients are listed in English also. So anyone can make it even if they don't understand Vietnamese.
Its groovy baby Austin powers haha
@@demonlord5770 hahaha 😆
@IndonesiaRussiaFriendship i make alla gricia usually because i dont trust the eggs and i dont live near a farm but for me i usually find that even a low flame is too much i take it off and wait till its only steams a certain amount that ik is warm enough to make cream but cold enough to not split the cheese. its hard to learn how to make roman pasta from a video u kinda just hafto trial and error it. but yea a low flame is too much imo maybe the egg changes the ideal temp though.
For carbonara I use two whole eggs and one yolk for two servings. The issue with the whites is that the proteins denature very easily, so I need to manage the heat more carefully than with just the yolks. I have tried both, but I prefer to keep waste to a minimum and I don't know many actually good uses for egg whites.
I make a lot of recipes that call for just yolks or just whites. I try really hard to make my recipe plan include recipes that will use up both. The last time I made a white cake recipe using just the whites, I made soy-marinated egg yolks. The last time I made something with just yolks (I can't remember what at the moment), I froze the egg whites in ice cube trays and held onto them until I had enough to make an Angelfood cake. You could even do egg fried rice with just egg whites. ;)
You three guys are always a sight to behold!
I usually only use the yolk for carbonara but it has also been a long time... should do some again soon!
🤣
I use both egg yolk and egg whites, I would like to say it's because of some fancy reason or another, but it's just because I'm lazy and don't want to separate them.
I love how he's such a good straight man.
5:20 "BUSY service" That was a good one ^^
I always love the Uncle Roger & Auntie Liz videos... the 2 of them break me every time xD
Try Polish carbonara. Due to the fact that you can get neither Italian pasta, nor guanciale, nor pecorino etc., so Polish carbonaraski uses dried strips of donkey skin as a soaghetti substitute, white sugar, chopped donkey ear instead of guanciale, milk instead if cream, stinky fermented weasel’s-milk cheese, coal dust, plum jam and vodka-whipped cream. Enjoy!
de cecco is a good alternative to the yellow pasta, not too much more expensive than barilla (for the US anyway).
1:27 that’s pretty good, and correct context
I cringed quite a bit when he put MSG into the spaghetti water...
The reason why you put salt into pasta water isn't to make the pasta salty... The reason is to stop the pasta flavor from going from the pasta to the water through osmosis. You put salt in the water so that it's "osmotically" balanced... MSG doesn't have this same chemical effect (which is why it's healthier than salt when used as a seasoning. but salt is often also used for its chemical properties, which MSG can't replace)
👍🇮🇹
The egg thing, is based on the fact that they use Cockerells for increasing egg production, so fertilised eggs are typically sold but arent developed enough to be detected.
I gotta say you have the calmest, cutest Fuiyoh I ever heard lol xD
🤣
As per instructions, I did indeed see Austin Powers, I saw the first two when they were still in theaters and they still made complete sense within the context of the rest of the world compared to now lol
One of my favorite things about Nigel's Uncle Roger persona is just how much of a stereotypical Asian Uncle character he is. He is in fact so stereotypical that you may see or know an Uncle Roger of your own!
🤣
always great to see chef james try to keep a straight face when reacting to uncle roger.
The Colab of Uncle Roger, Vincenzo and James would be exciting. Different cultures blends in one weedio❤ Foouyooohh
So funny I actually met Vincenzo on a plane back from Tokyo to Sydney a few years ago. He was seated next to me in the exit row but he was so tall he had to move (he was up against the wall)
Very nice guy
New drinking game every time chef James rolls his eyes at uncle Roger's dirty jokes
🤣
From the USA: Guanciale was $15/lb at the Italian Grocery. Pancetta was $10/lb. Pancetta can be higher than that at the regular grocery. If I was learning the dish, I might use a cheaper cut of meat.
Cheese has naturally-occurring MSG, so I agree with Chef James and Vincienzo.
Love Aunty Chef Liz, so fun, funny and her laughter is cute! Witty. Love her.
I like Vinzenzo's commemt about using whites and yolks because there's less waste!
You want to look for Bronze cut pasta. It’s actually starting to get wayyy easier to find too. Even Meijer and Walmart have brands that are bronze cut now.
The way James went to his "wtf why?!" face whenever Uncle Roger makes a non-family joke is some of the funniest things ever.
😂
I use 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolk. I also use pancetta because guanchale is hard to find and very salty.
For carbonara: 3 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk for a 2 person portion
I heard you strain the yolk from the white using your hands and fingers. That way you don’t get the eggshell cutting the yolk open and less chance of shell getting in there.
MSG is like 1/10th the saltiness of salt. It won't add much to the saltiness.
Great video James. I love how you are calm and respectful, but at the same time critical and professional. BTW, I use the whole of the egg for pasta -- I rarely find a use for whites, and I hate to throw food away.
Thank you so much!
I missed good old beef in the internet. Please continue.
In my opinion the following peppercorns are the most flavorful ones:
Lampong black pepper
Muntok white pepper
I prefer to do two yolks and one entire egg on 250g Spaghetti. Cannot get Guancale so I use 100g bacon, good quality. Also I mix the cheese. 50g if pecorino romano and 50g of grana padano. I think its not necessary to buy expensive pepper. I just use regular pepper corns but fresh grinded.
really cool to see chef jean pierre haha that guy is inspiring.
I love that James Makinson disapproves of inappropriate jokes and MSG inappropriately.
Like everything in life: Read the room.
🤣
Usually for 2 portion carbonara, I use 2 yolks and 1 whole egg. This is the best balance IMO. I've tried every combination.
