He may be paid by Knorr to make these videos and promote their products, but even back in the 80's he was known for using stock cubes in sauces. This is nothing new. He's probably the most influential chef in modern cooking, so I think he's earned the right to do whatever he wants. Why is everyone suddenly hating on Marco just because he's a compensated spokesperson for Knorr? He practically gave us the foundation of modern cooking!

you can just tell that he is a perfectionist when he cooks, because he was so focused flipping the mushrooms up with the pan. so professional

I love the way knorr get their employees to "thumbs up" the same bullshit comment on each of his videos. Real stock doesn't even have seasoning in it - jeez

@Nzdrovya4life disagree... in the 80's he made his own broth and etc for the sauce rarely rarely he used stock at least i never seen him did. Unless you can prove it... Not until he spoke for knorr he taught us to use stocks so regularly....

Sweet, never thought I'd get a chance to incorporate a paint brush into cooking!!

@eukhan15 are you a fifty year old woman?

@Zephilindrum The idea of what he's doing is genius but he's executing it in a way that even someone with little to no cooking experience can do, and that's the fucking beauty of it. Try to make this recipe from scratch. You'd have to make home made beef stock which takes easily 3-6 hours and then reduce it down to a rich, dark, glaze which is an extra 20 minutes or so. If you can do it, good for you, but for those who are too busy or too technically inept then it's perfect for them.

If people would stop looking at what's wrong with these videos, they'd see what's so right about it.

Take this recipe for example. It's a pan-seared filet mignon that's seasoned with a heavily reduced beef jus. That's extremely concentrated beef flavor that's painted on a cut of beef that practically has no flavor at all. Then he added mushrooms as a garnish for that meaty earthy taste which compliments the beef. That's better than most overloaded filets that high end restaurants serve.
