Can I just say that it is so refreshing and heartwarming that Chef Jean-Pierre always refers to his viewers as his "friends" and not "subscribers" like everyone else? It makes his content feel much more personal and special. It's such a small detail, but the impact is huge! We are all very fortunate to have such a wonderful, funny, and passionate chef as our friend. You can tell that he absolutely loves what he does! He could easily still be getting paid to teach culinary classes like he had done for years before... but instead, he shares his decades of culinary genius with us for free! He makes everything easy to understand, explains the reasons why he does everything he does, and even admits when he messes up... which shows us that we shouldn't be hard on ourselves if we do. He also shows how to fix a problem when it occurs. Which just proves that no one is perfect, and that's ok. He's pure, real, and a truly incredible chef and teacher. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre! We love and appreciate you and all that you do! Even your film crew is awesome and legendary! I love how they will add funny things in the edit. Absolutely brilliant knowledge and entertainment! Please never stop doing what you do! And know you have millions who have become better cooks because of you!

Chef, my mom would make this yummy pork chop casserole. She would marinate pork in pineapple juice, Worcestershire, brown sugar and water. The marinade became the sauce with a simple roux and little hot sauce, pineapple rings, sautéed onion rings and baked the whole thing. Served over a bed of rice. Soooo yummy. She called it pineapple pork chop casserole.

My mom made shoe leather chops when I was a kid. Probably a scenario that played out in mom kitchens all over the place. I've learned to use a thermometer and pull 'em at 155 F then rest which usually reaches 160 F. Normally doesn't dry 'em out. After a lifetime of leather, I just can't get used to pink chops. I'm usually not working far enough in advance to brine. But I have learned to do my mise en place thanks to you Chef. 😉 It really does make a huge difference.

Ahhhh my grandma - she came from Aix - used to make this apple sauce, always between St. Nikolaus and Christmas. I miss her and thank you for the beautiful memory beside this wonderful dish - vive le beurre. I have to add that this is the only cooking show, that combines passion with an enormous closeness or familiarity? It’s like being with you in the kitchen - like family. It’s cooking, the whole thing. Including getting organized, structured, thoughtful, forward thinking, respectful, all based on a balanced confidence. I love it. Cooking is life.

The warm flavors in the applesauce brings this over the top! And today’s pork is bred so lean you really have to take the time to brine. If you’re missing the sweetness of a traditional applesauce, you’ll find it on the dried apricots with the green beans. I might serve this with a few roasted potatoes for a starch.

This is unique, brave, very sure cooking. I love this, and can’t wait to try it! I’ve cooked pork and applesauce, but this is nothing like that (I used Sara Moulton’s old applesauce recipe because it’s quick and delicious) - but it’s sweet! When I crave sweet applesauce with a meal I go there. Too easy! This is another whole freeway, though, and I’m eager to test drive it! A raceway not related to that at all. Chef JP is my favorite KZfaqr. His wise, friendly, egalitarian way with words, witty and absolutely himself, slices every video, a great boon to many of us. He really hears his viewers, and strives to “give us what we want”. Commendable, and you must have skills to do that. I love this Chef and his skills - and his willingness to share, and his innately talented way of teaching, of connecting. Entertaining, to boot? What’s not to love? 😊 Another recipe I know right now that we will love, my husband and me. Family is making us a “surprise” 😀 50th anniversary dinner next week. Lots of people. I’m considering asking for this! The beans with my fave fruit (besides berries) is genius. Butter and shallot and sweet earthy apricots - and green beans. I’d use the sliced almonds and perhaps a very slight touch lemon. What a meal! Surprising and delicious!

Dear Chef, It's hard to believe how much they remind me of my grandmother. She taught me how to cook and until today all of my family agrees that she was a great cook - strict in her regiment but what a great teacher. We often made pork with apples and potatoes, which is called "Himmel und Ääd" (Heaven and Earth) in Cologne, Germany because we had a lot of influence from France here and "Pommes avec Pomme de terre" go very well together. My grandmother liked to make one of my favorite recipes: pan-fried black pudding with apple sauce and mashed potatoes. You need to try this it's out of this world. Thanks again for doing this and bringing us so much joy. Thanks Jack for all your work.
