Hi chef, ive been a long time subscriber and i find your videos really inspiering.

Im working as a aprentice at a hotel, going up for diploma in 2 months.

(Our education is 2 years of school + 2 years of practice at a hotel/restaurant of our choice) Just wanted you to know that your entusiasm and love for food, good food, how food should be prepared and treated to accomplish the best results.

Ive tried out lots of your stuff and taken alot of the help with basic skills.

Thanks from Norway!

@Garunnu - Thanks for the kind comment. Your English is just fine, better that most people. Good luck in school!

I think the "secret" is in the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. No matter how fresh a veggies might be in the store, it can't compete with something I just picked from my garden. I don't have to season the things from garden as much as I do veggies from the store. I also think the way food is consumed leisurely may also make it taste better. Here, it's usually in a rush we eat. I know too many who inhale their food. No way they're tasting it.

@VivianRinSC - Bingo! That's what I hope to prove during the next set of videos. Keep watching, I've got some great footage of Paris coming.

French secret to great food= Nothing processed. The meats are slaughtered the same day. The only meat that is kept longer than a day are the smoked meats such as sausage or ham and the pastries are made fresh with no chemicals added. Basically here in the U.S we have big chain Super markets where food has been sitting for weeks with loads of processed and chemical items.

@TheDave000 Well,i guess youre right. Perhaps i got the wrong impression last time i went there.It was really the most healthy month of my life,foodwise.hehe

If you want to be a success in this world, just tell people what they want to hear. Otherwise, speak only truth and accept the consequences. "Healthy Food?" Bah, Humbug!

@byLivio Are you kidding? The french invented heavy sauces and highly seasoning food! Look at some of Escoffier's recipies and they are the richest heavyist creations possible. It's all lightened up a lot since the 1970s and neuvelle quisine but still french cooking is some of the heartiest I've come across. Try scandinavia, italy or Japan if you want to see simple light food. Definitely not france! The main difference between french and US is france has the best produce in the world.
