[googo151]

@waytooschoolforcool I'd like to work for this lovely lady chef.

[eregor1451]

What the hell did she just mumble on 3:38 sec?!!!

[Rosiemic]

@eregor1451 She said "we're going to add some veal stock and add that too"

[CelticPoison]

@Rosiemic Add some veal stock in and let that reduce down too.

[FlipSnipeZ]

looks so amazing!!

[jonesnoone]

She is great. Giver her a show!

[ksakum13]

where can I find this pan in USA or any website?

[wendelah1]

Great video. Good instructions and good production. I am trying this dish tonight.

[laramis]

I've never made this. Looks wonderful but I don't know why this recipe cooks with onions, carrots and celery only to be thrown away. Or do they disintegrate in the sauce?

[mikenike504]

Looks so good!

[FlipSnipeZ]

Awesome video, making braised short ribs right now, Tom Colicchio's recipie

[sergiodeckeror]

personal vendettas. There is a campaign. Enjoy this movie T O T A L L Y F R E E @ MovieWatcher (dot) US

[gdfjf1]

YUMMY! and the food looks good too

[maudeflorenceop]

Just found where to watch w th1s movie online @ MOOV ZON, COM Google the above link

[jalapeno52]

Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What was the "liquid" (was it beef broth?) that you added after the red wine and port reduction? I will try a variation this evening...

[googo151]

Veal Stock

[googo151]

Made this tonight. I added a splash of Kahloua and a tsp of cocoa powder. I had this once with a savory chocolate sauce and it was to die for. Making my version of this dish. Also making a celery and Russet potato mash.

[YourMom863]

Overall impressed, but all of that acid in a cast iron pan? If I'm searing and deglazing it's stainless. That's gotta be hell on the pan's seasoning, and got knows what off flavors you might pick up.

[marredeshaineux]

De la crème fraîche sur un

Bœuf Bourguignon ?!?!

Les légumes à la poil ????

De quoi rendre un chef français complètement fou, surtout servi avec de la purée...

[kikivolauvent]

addendum: Now that I have quickly read through the comments I am somewhat confused. What on earth are you ranting about, why can't you just enjoy the video and if you don't like it, go to another one?! I personally would NOT have piled everything up either but I wouldn't write a negative comment based on this.... I thought the recipe was awesome and this woman really cooked it in front of our eyes. I am sure it tastes absolutely delicious. I would surely forgive her the 'piling up' :) Cheers all

[kikivolauvent]

gosh, I am SO impressed.... I consider myself a good cook but NOW I understand that truly GREAT cooking IS expensive.... I am in awe of that reduction of fine wines and aceto to a mere drop of sauce.... hmmmmh yummy.....

Very good filming too - and yes, I can hardly wait to see that film; of course, it will take more time to come in our direction but it will......

Thanks for this upload!

[13Elphaba13]

This woman is such a lesbian.

[androidk18]

... you haven't yet proven that her food tastes bad! for all I know (I have no experience with the flavors) those greens and the potato tastes AWESOME with the meat and sauce all on one forkful.

I would actually guess that the acidity from the wine would make a great accompaniment to the greens. To me you're sounding like a picky kid who doesn't want their food touching.

[wntoply6]

this woman is surely not italian. i vomit over the fact she put the swisschard over the potatos then the meat over everything.

she may think she is chic, but in fact she is a pagan when it comes to plating food.

disgusting presentation.

[androidk18]

how would you do it?

[wntoply6]

separately, by themselves! i want to be able to see all the food on my plate, and not be surprised by what's at the bottom of the pile.

while part of the pleasure of eating is visual, it's not about guessing!

andriodk18, i was raised in an italian family where the only thing piled on was meatballs on top of the gravy, on top of the pasta...and yes we called gravy, not sauce!

[androidk18]

Interesting. I ask 'cause I was watching "Master Chef Australia" (like "Idol" but for amateur chefs) and that seemed to be a popular style of plating up. Neither the professional chefs nor the award winning tester had a problem with that sorta plate layout.

Not even the Greek chef trained in Italian cuisine had an issue with it so I had no idea what your isse with it was.

P.s were you the one that thumbed down my question? if so that's pretty petty man. if not whoever did it is a moron.

[wntoply6]

androidk18, "a popular style of plating up" never makes food taste better! you might want to remember that the next time you sit town to eat.

to be very honest, i would much rather sit down to an italian dinner made by my grand mother who had no time for "plating style" then sitting down to restaurant dinner piled high by a chef's ego.

sorry, i know good food, and that woman's crap is just what it is.

[androidk18]

how can you know that without tasting it? some food looks horrible on a plate but is divine once it's in your mouth . I honestly feel like you're being too harsh on the woman.

And in the case of restaurants its their livelihood if its crap. That woman wouldn't have even been approached if she wasn't respected in the culinary arts. So I honestly think that until you have properly experienced her food you have no proper way to judge her.

[wntoply6]

ah, again you're not italian. enough said.

i can tell you right now, the type restaurant this woman runs caters not to the masses, but to the few. if she catered to the masses her food would really have to be good. remember that.

[wntoply6]

now wait a minute...you said "neither the professional chefs or the award winning tester"! how bout the poor schmuck who has to pay for the extra cost of that "plating" what do they think of that "sorta plate layout". you ask most of em, andi bet they would prefer lower prices and better tasting food than "plating food".

please, get your gastronomic eliteness out of the air, and place it back in your stomach where it belongs.

[androidk18]

... they're not going for a "Poor schmuck" they're serving people who are willing to pay money for their food (you gotta admit, ribs is usually a 'spensive cut of meat done right anyway) part of the experiance is in the presentation.

Again.... I think you are judging her on the wrong criteria. You're going at it from a traditionalist perspective while she's appealing to modern diners aesthetics.

[wntoply6]

there's a place here in the boston area...kelly's, on revere beach. while it's not italian it has served seafood from the ocean since 1951.

i can tell you plating's in paper containers & the food's beyond comparison.

they have & will continue to serve more food than this fly by night fad resturaunt could ever imagine!

may i add, they cater to the average american & the super rich. ask the super rich what they think of kelly's compared to this woman's place, guess who wins out every time!

[androidk18]

That's all well and good. But you haven't yet proven that that Susan's method of plating up is detrimental to the flavour. All your critique before was that it looked disgusting. You haven't given any reasoning as to why you think its disgusting besides the appearance.

And since you seem to think that the appearance doesn't mean anything to the flavour I'm confused by your arguements.

[wntoply6]

you're right i haven't, but you haven't proven that her "method" of plating does anything other than increase the cost of that food.

i CAN tell you my grandmother's food has never been match in any resturant, anywhere i've been in the world, with the exception of italy.

the best eateries in italy are not "plating" places. rather they provide real food at good prices.

btw their culinary delight is unmached ANYWHERE, including Los angeles.

again, all plating does is increase the foods cost!

[androidk18]

Sorry mate, You're the one making the positive assertion I'm merely regecting it based on lack of evidence.

Until you prove that plating up the food in that manner makes it "disgusting" and worthy of vomit I'm going to treat it as your subjective tastes and thus that would be unfair for me to dismiss her cooking based merely on your aesthetic quirks.

[wntoply6]

tell me mate, what do you do for a living? and please be honest. and by that i mean if you work for the resturant industry in australia, please have the guts to say so. don't be like our american "christian"republican party...when one back them up against the wall, they easily lie and proclaim themselves just regular liberals who are against obama.

[androidk18]

I'm an animation student looking to become a comic artist. For me visuals are important.

That's not to say I disagree with you that food that looks less formally presented is still damn good (My mum's Ceaser salad is the BEST goddammit! even chefs cant get enough of her protean and fat rich goodness!), but you haven't yet proven that her formally presented food is inferior.

Can you PLEASE provide some reasoning for your dismissal of her beyond an appeal to tradition?

[wntoply6]

thank you for the truth.

i'm a retail marketing director, so i know how images, however contrived and false tell a story that does not represent the truth.

in my career i have been a stylist, an artist, a copy writer and a photographer. i know how to professionally lie, i know the business.

do you believe when hollywood tells you a particular actress is happy that she indeed is happy? do you believe everything you see? come on, what you see is rarely what you get!

[androidk18]

But you still haven't proven that her food is a lie! You merely assert that it is inferior based on your opinion and your sense of aesthetics. Until you have provided reasoned evidence (beyond appeals to tradition which is a logical fallacy) I have no reason to take what your saying as true.

remember, I'm not saying that her method of plating up makes the food taste any better or worse. I'm merely saying that until you have tasted it you have no reasonable basis to make a judgment on the taste

[wntoply6]

excuse me darling, but i only said plating is not any measure of good food, and the way she plated that food to me was disgusting. i also pointed out i have a life long history of eating fantastic food. by putting something on youtube and saying it is good proves to me absolutely nothing.

now you prove to me her food is good.

[androidk18]

I don't need to! That's not my point. What I'm saying is that I so far have no good reason to regect her cooking based on your arguements. I still say that the food looks tasty to me. I don't know if its disgusting or not and you haven't given me any reasoned arguements to say why it is substandard beyond aesthetics. A measure of standards that is in this case personal and this not applicable to me as they don't apply.

And can you please not be so condescending? First "mate" now "darling".

[wntoply6]

honey you lost your point some time ago.

i made my point, quite sucessfully. the fact you can't take it as such proves to me you don't like to be proved wrong.

so ok let's leave it at that. i doubt anyone could ever prove you wrong on anything...so i will bow out of your contest.

good luck with your plated food and may they all be delicious for you.

however somethink gnaws at me the most sophistcated food you've tasted is a hot dog or what ever culinary delight they call it downunder!

[androidk18]

Why do you even think I'm a girl!? What about my speech genders me as female?

And you haven't made your point! You've merely made assertions without backing them up! What EVIDENCE do you have that I can accept (which means no logical fallacies like appeals to tradition or appeals to special knowledge)

You haven't given me a reason! since I don't have a point beyond "I have no experience of her cooking, so I need more information to make a judgment, why is it disgusting?" I still don't get it.

[androidk18]

Have you tasted food that was presented in a similar manner and it was substandard? Is there a chemical reason as to why the food would be bad presented in such a manner?

Is there any reasoning for this food that you can honestly give me that can outright say that the food would not be good beyond "what you see isn't always what you get" 'cause I could say that about my mums Caesar salad since her presentation has been likened to restaurant quality by qualified chefs.

[wntoply6]

of course, everyone who has eaten in a resturant has tasted substandard food no matter how beautifully and wastefully "plated".

come on, now you're commenting like a downright stupid person. stop digging a hole you can never get out of my friend.

[androidk18]

sooo... basically your saying that her food COULD taste good but you're hung up on the visuals? if that's the case I'm not sure where the "Vomit" comment comes from as that's usually a response to perceived flavor or smell. If you know not to judge a plate on its appearance why did you say those mean things?

[wntoply6]

btw i said the food looked disgusting. i have not tasted it, but given the fact her forte is "plating" i'd rather spend MY money on food i know taste's good (like a pizza) than on something prepared to be photographed for the food TV or a food magazine.

this conversation is getting eerier and eerier. since when does the appearace of the food add to it's flavor? now you're making no sense at all android.

[Klias]

If you're really as Italian as you claimed, you would know that Italian-style meatballs (secundo) and pasta (primi piatti) don't actually end up in the same plate in Italian cooking as it is done in Italy.

[androidk18]

Honestly I don't mind the layout. I have no Italian heritage (that I'm aware of) so that may taint my opinions in your eyes, but when I saw the plate up my first thought was "Mmmmm MEAT!" followed quickly by, "I bet the mashed potato tastes great covered in the sauce!"

So if her goal is to make the food appear appetizing I guess it worked for me.

Honestly I think you're being a bit uptight about it. If you don't approve of the way the food looks don't go to her restaurant and buy it.

[wntoply6]

hmm, i guess when it comes to food...there's no accounting for taste, lol.

when i was a kid in my grandmother's kitchen, the food was so damned delicious. from antipasti to deserts, we really didn't care about it's ultimate presentation. we knew we were in line for a treat, a feast, a gastronomic delight.

"presentation" only got in the way of the ultimate pleasure!

that's not to say the fool was slopped on the plates, it wasn't. it's aroma & taste created by love far outweighted "plating".

[androidk18]

Unfortunately for professional chefs. From what I've seen, creative or pleasing presentation of food is one of the criteria professional testers judges them buy.

The way you suggested plating the food sounds boring. what would be acceptable in a home environment is practically taboo in a restaurant. I think you're judging her by the wrong standards here.

[wntoply6]

and again i say this woman's place caters to the few, not the masses. else her food would have to taste good, not merely look good.

[healthyinspiration]

After studying people who eat raw living food...I found that they don't always look healthy and happy...whereas Julia was wonderful...beautiful...and happy...honestly, most people feel really good after a great boeuf bourgignon (particularly grass fed beef).  Am I wrong?

[namatamago3000]

She WAS wonderful and beautiful and happy, and you are NOT wrong!

[Klias]

What about the Japanese and the Koreans? Raw and sometimes living (sea)food is what a part of their traditional diet, and they seem fine to me.

That said, I do agree with your statement about Julia.

[RLviddy]

You look like Ali MacGraw.

[karlaSinger]

Haha, Meryl is so adorable!
