Since I went to university I have been cooking your recipes and now my entire flat thinks I'm an amazing cook. I am living a lie, a delicious delicious lie.

"...And before you know it, people are crying." LOL It looks so good. :)

my favourite pie, which isn't sold where i live right now.. Chef John, you have brought happiness to a human soul

My uncle made pecan pie for thanksgiving this year, His own recipe. Sweetened with only maple syrup and a touch of molasses, 8 egg yokes to hold it together. The BEST pecan pie I've ever tasted!

I just made this... as soon as I added the melted butter there was this delicious aroma and I knew it was going to be good... The process was so quick and easy and the finished pie was gooey and gorgeous and wonderful... thank you, Chef John!

Ingredients: 1 9-inch pie shell 2 eggs 1 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (I didn't add in this recipe, but suggest you do. Add with the sugars.) 1 tablespoon milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup chocolate chips 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans

As everybody else... I'm hooked with Chef John. I came in late to the blog, I just recently discovered it (if that is possible!), but, from then on, I watch him everyday! and I look for all of his past videos and I've download most of the ones I've found. I love to hear him talk and use all of those expressions that I am now familiar with... the ooold tapa tapa".. etc, etc.... I love him!! he makes me laugh and feel good. Thanks Chef John !!!

Why did I watch this at my desk at work while waiting for lunch? I'm drooling all over my keyboard. On an side note I have the same oven as Chef John. I guess I should feel special or something...

This guys sound as if he belongs in disney film. Just something about his ponderous friendly and almost soothing voice. IF i had that voice i'd talk all the time, even just to myself.

sometimes i feel like crying at how cool you are. chef john mah hero :D

THE BEST PIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I MUST MAKE IT

If I need cheering up, I sit and watch a few of Chef John's videos and instantly feel better. There's just something about his voice and watching him work his magic with food that de-stresses me. Thanks Chef John x

In Kentucky, this is a Derby Pie. My mom (who is from KY) makes this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Probably my favorite pie!

i love how easy these recipes seem!! makes me feel like i may actually be able to cook!!

lol as soon as I saw you were gonna pour the filling, I was like, "OH MAN, HE'S GONNA DO THE TAPPA TAPPA! :D" your food drove me to madness, chef john

I am mezmerized by these videos.... he's like the Pied Piper of food vids.

I come to this channel when i'm hungry. Foodwishes is awesome

I baked this pie yesterday using your recipe for the home-made pie crust, and it turned out very well! You are a great instructor and inspiration! I thought about some changes, which would be to toast the pecans before adding them, use about 4tbsp (60 g) less sugar and add a pinch of salt to the filling. And maybe substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with extra-bittersweet. What do you think about that, Chef?

I love making this pie my husbands keeps asking me to make it agsin thanks chef john

@dwdcweb No, completely unnecessary here. That amount of hot butter will have NO effect on that sugar egg mixture if whisked in quickly. If it were pure eggs the butter were going into, then I would have demo'd that.

I make this. NO SYRUP! LOVE THAT!!!

Just made this pie. My entire family enjoyed it. Thank you Chef John 😳😳😳

Long time fan here chef John. And I almost made every recipe you put here. Love your cooking so MUCH !!!

YOU ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!!! I LOVE PECAN PIE!

We are loving the addition of chocolate! Fantastic.

Absolutely delicious and easy pie! I make it for CHRISTmas every year. Thank you, Chef John!

I had this at Thanksgiving this year, but it had an additional ingredient. Bourbon, yes. It added a nice new dimension to the pie. Can't wait for the next one.

I love watching these videos

Thank you Chef John! I made this today and served it to my family. My sister said it was the best pecan pie shes ever had ^_^

I made this for christmas and now I make it almost everry month. Amazing pie! I serve it mid-warm & with whipped cream.

Kentucky derby pie! I've come up with my own recipe, but as it is still evolving, I definitely could use some technique from this video (no corn syrup, for one). Awesome recipe, Chef John!

Made this and brought to work, everyone loved it. Thanks for another winner, Chef John!

Without a doubt foodwishes is my favourite part of youtube now. Keep on being awesome Chef John!

Wait! How can there be a downvote? This channel makes even me want to try and cook!

I love this pie 🥧 this will probably be my 4 or 5 year making it for thanksgiving

I always watch your vids to enjoy your recipes and especially your sense of humor! Lovely!

I can’t believe how easy this is!

Wow so easy! I don't know why I've never made this before.

Pecan pie is absolutely delicious! Now that I know how easy it is, I am excited to make it myself.

Thanks for the recipe! Easy and delicious

I've made this with butterscotch chips and it turned out very nice :) So glad you don't use corn syrup!

The ingredients are on his blog! The website is in the description

@TheShammies I appreciate that you answered my question, but I'm aware of this already. When these recipes want the crust pricked, they're referring to the bottom and only crust.

Going to do a couple of tests with this one. I'll try some chocolate chips in the mixture, maybe even some on the top, or maybe... forget the chocolate chips in general. Also, simple stuff with great results. You're the man CJ.

Subed to your channel like ages! Thanks for all the great recipes. The pie is in the oven now, still 30 mins to go...

@apetheape9 Because then I wouldn't get to watch all those little chocolate chips bouncing on the pie dough as I scatter them around the dish. Don't forget, cooking is a meditation.

Looks wonderful! I'll have to give it a try.

you are AWESOME!!! i enjoy your commentary as much as the visual deliciousness. i LOVE chocolate pecan pie, so will definitely try this. :D THANK YOU, you AWESOME man!

I just made this pie chocolate-free (allergic) with: Homemade Gluten-Free Pie Crust; Fresh Farm Eggs; Dark Muscovado (dark brown sugar); Organic Raw Fine Sugar; Coconut Oil; Unsweetened Almond Milk; Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract; and EXTRA Buttery Pecans! I am going crazy with anticipation. I think I am going to break into this pie before dinner!

i just realized i havent' missed a single show ever since i started watching these videos :)

yumm...my mom will love this!

I baked this recipe for my birthday and my family uses this recipe alot now

Dear chef, I absolutely adore your narration! Please keep up with the good work. Thank you so much for the amazing recipes!

im going to make it tomorow., thank you Chef John

Dear Santa, I want a Chef John for Christmas.

That was awesome.. i gave it a whole lotta of that tapa tapa :] love this chef!

Yes, the gentle tappa-tappa, often works better than the harder variety of tappa-tappas. Applies to baking too.

I made this tonight in tart shells. SO good.

I did this. It was sooo freaking nice. It was a lot richer than I expected though. I tried eating half... half of that was put in the fridge afterwards :P

Oh wow! I need to start baking more often!

I'm in total AWE! Want to make it now! Love your videos! Keep em comin!

Looks... AMAZING!!!

I love how you describe your food, big vocab their Chef John!

this look so good.. in trying this tomorow i needed an excuse to bake something sweet

Chef, I made your recipe for mango cranbango for Thanksgiving this year, it was a MASSIVE hit...thanks for reigniting my passion for cooking and food.

My family loves Pecan Pie! Thanks Chef John!

Easy and looks delicious 😋

Simply outstanding...

Well. It's only taken me 10 years to find this video. I'm sure the recipe hasn't aged a day! Will be in my Thanksgiving lineup this year!

How much bourbon and when to make it a derby pie?

Oh my word - I think we made about eight of these so far - so good! You're a genius! :-)

I made this the other day. Super easy! Super delicious!

i did this.......and altho i used walnuts(the supermarket didnt have pecans. apparently pecans arnt tt easy to find in singapore), it was awesome. yay!

It looks delicious.

butterscotch chips mixed with the chocolate chips might be a nice touch.

@foodwishes hahaha, love the bluntness of your response. Well done Chef John, keep it up.

WHAT that's it?!?!? I need to try this ASAP, I thought pecan pies were tricky to make!! PS Please upload more baking videos!! Not that all of your videos are hilariously great, but I really enjoy the dessert ones.....:)

Chef John, I know this is an odd request and I'm not even sure if you've done this before, but can you give us a tour of your kitchen (Fridge, Stove, cupboards) and show us some of your favorite utensils and appliances? Or show us some things that every chef should have?

Thanks for the recipe, chef ! I made this with white chocolate, works insanely good too !

I made one of these for Thanksgiving and another one when I got home because it was gone before I could taste it!

WooHoo! No corn syrup, all the ingredients i can buy at my local shop!:D Thanks Chef John i can't wait to try this recipe!!

Mmmmmm mmmm pecan pie is my favourite. Now I know exactly how to make it. Nom nom nom.

I think I over baked it , was to greasy but it still tasted great will try again since it was super easy to make. Looked amazing too top was crispy

@clapikaairen of course not.

I've made pie dough in grade 10 baking class :D its so easy! :D

I was waiting on the "shake-a shake-a" after the "tap-a tap-a"

Perfect for christmas!! Thanks

going to make this 4 sure, thanks chef !!

Ate something similar with walnuts in it instead of pecans. it was yum!

@Joanne55R Well anytime you have excess air that could be trapped that you don't want, the idea is that the 'tappa tappa' will causes that air to surface, or at least distribute it more evenly. Plus it just feels right.

Im going to make this for my grandma thanks chef john :)

LoL "A whole other league of dessert awesomeness" . . . . . Chef John your a whole other league of Chef AwESoMeNEsS!!! :-D

Who else wants to live with this guy?

looks sooo yummy!

I'm allergic to nuts and I still watched your video.

Stick this or regular pecan pie in the freezer ... when you pull out a slice just eat it like you would a slice of pizza; one of the most delicious things ever as the filling doesn't freeze

Looks really good!

This is my favorite pie

your awesome chef !
