AD | What better challenge for the boys than taking on one of the most respected cuisines in the world?!
Today we’ve challenged our 3 normals to work together to create a 3 course meal using the very best of French produce. And they’ll need to pair each course with delicious French wine! But they won’t be going in blind - they have to trust the knowledge Jamie picked up on his recent trip to Paris with Taste France.
As if that isn't enough, their attempts will be reviewed by French chef Franck Pontais, and Ebbers and he have French Cuisine skills badges to give away…
Can the normals do it?! Watch to find out!

Additionally, I think the value of the trip itself is a bit overrated. Sure, it is definitely a boon, but even if you take a crazy amount of notes, there's a lot of things that will be lost at the end of the day, not to mention weeks later. In the end, it is about putting it in practice where it counts. Jamie may have done most of the research and planning, but there are plenty of sources (the internet, a certain ministry, etc) who could have assisted every single one of them with the practical implementation.

Wow ... well enjoyed. I found this Chef Review to be the least cringe and most constructive of all to date. Chef Franck gives a very good review, and good feedback through out. Worth listening not just to what he said, but how he said it and importantly what he left out. When learning French cooking in college, what I learned is that 1) people first eat with their eyes, presentation is very important, 2) people eat foods not symphonies, choose well but don't complicate it, and 3) if you do complicated steps, make them your first ones so every step after is an augmentation of the one before (mother sauces are the most well known of this process, Mike had the idea and Chef Franck said it was not Mayonnaise, meaning - make the Mayonnaise first then bring it to where you want it to go).

With you on that one, makes me grind my teeth even thinking about it, same with watching someone use a knife on one of those horrible glass "chopping" boards! horrifying. I remember years ago a friend & I heading back to his house & the look on his face when he discovered his wife's friend frying onions in his special crêpe pan... thought he was going to explode on the spot!🤯

I remember a Feast Your Ears podcast where a joke was made about an apple and red onion pie, and now Jamie's made an onion and apple tarte tatin and it looks like it worked! Amazing work, besides the unbalanced trifle. I'm glad Jamie admitted that that might have been partially his fault, but Baz should have left time to taste all the elements together to adjust as needed.

@Gerbera726 2 жыл бұрын

I think it's one of his weakness when it comes to cooking. He focuses more on the style versus the substance. Hopefully, he'll take the Chef's criticism into consideration for future recipes.

I would LOVE Chef Franck Pontais back in the SORTED kitchen. It was so wonderful to see honest and genuinely constructive feedback instead of just overdoing a strict chef stereotype for the camera or being lenient because it's youtube. Perfect balance, this is one of my favourite videos.

@maddie.hatterx 2 жыл бұрын

This video was such a refreshing perspective on French cooking! It's so lovely to see even classically-trained chefs willing to embrace innovation within traditional cooking methods/styles and give genuine feedback about the taste (not just bashing the dish because it deviates away from the norm) I'm so glad I clicked on my first Sorted video two weeks ago, absolutely OBSESSED!!

I love the guest chef episodes, always fun, always brilliant. I really enjoyed Chef Franck, his humor, his expertise, his involvement, and his interest in exactly what the boys were doing made for such a sincere yet light-hearted dynamic coupled with his "great positive criticism" made for an excellent learning moment for the boys and us viewers. I would love to see another episode where Chef Franck returns, maybe with a different episode format like a Pass-It-On. Also, the blooper was golden.
