Greetings from Sausalito, California. Huge fan Pete! I love your blending of culinary history and plain spoken cooking guidance. I envy you the arduous task of of eating all that beautiful Gascony food. Tuesday evening here, and I have your Lamb Shanks braising in the oven now. Can't wait. Yum! I would love to hear a conversation with you and Jacques Pepin.

What an underappreciated channel this is. I discovered your channel a few months ago, and it has quickly become a favourite. No bs, just well informed and high quality cooking. Every other video is reliving the food memories from my youth and vacations in France, Spain and Portugal. This was what ignited my passion for food and cooking. And later, wine. If you one day were to be able to go to Bretagne and somehow whip up a Kouign-amman in your portable kitchen, this channel would be complete haha. Keep up the good work.

I like to use duck fat a lot to cook with if not using extra virgin olive oil. Can't get more natural than that, especially when you rendered it off the bird yourself. No processing, no factory, just pure natural fat. I'm in pretty good shape so it can't be too bad...🤣 Thanks for another great vid, Pete!

@@PetespansBecause it's not really for afternoon cooking in the sun, as its name might suggest? Of course, you are free to interpret it however you want, but many pianists treat it as a piece full of tension. They achieve it either by the orthodox way of emphasizing dynamics, or by varying tempo like what Glenn Gould did in his recording. Still, if you listen to it when you are cooking, then no need to change for nitpickers like me.
