I love how you really get a sense of his enthusiasm for what he is doing in this video.

This Guy!!!!!! where do I start, I never leave comments firstly, not only does he give a very concise fool proof approch he stops to teach techniques and departs other pearls of wisdom (white, pepper, to chopping basil) all I can say is BOOM! Thank you can't wait to watch your other videos chef.

I can't believe you're giving us all this vital culinary information for FREE!!! Thanks so much, Chef Jon!

This was my mentor at Le Cordon Bleu school in Arizona. He was AMAZING to learn from so much knowledge.

This is high end chef and the standard with enthusiasm.. Superb

Final presentation: Contemporary art for food, like haute couture in fashion, exciting suggestions of flavor in the abstract, but ultimately, you just want to be fed. The traditional salad will make love to your senses while paying respect to your appetite. Beautifully presented, Chef!

EXCELLENT JOB ! CHEF GREAT PRESENTATION AND TUTORIAL !

I have been cooking for many years, even attended cooking schools, I learned so much. Thank you. Also, it is nice to see someone else who talks to their food.

Simultaneously learned and enjoyed listening to your lecture/presentation. My goodness, you make me want to attend Le Cordon Bleu school, but...YOU SIR would have to be my instructor for EVERY class. You're like the teacher whose classes fill up 1st because ALL students want your tutelage

I love this chef's style. Very informative and at the same time entertaining. Looking forward to seeing more from Chef Paul!

Wow. Within a few minutes, I just learned a lot so many practical cooking/prepping techniques that are actually very basic but also very efficient. Thanks Chef!

Excellent presentation, a true teacher.

This guy saw into my soul. Everything is so fussed-over in pursuit of flavor. Love this video.

I've watched a hundred Cordon bleu videos...this guy is the best. Hands down!!!

I have learnt so much in the last 38 minutes WoW I wish I could afford to attend this school.

I have watched hundreds of cooking videos on KZfaq. I learned more techniques about cooking from this one video then all of the others I’ve ever seen combined!

Thanks for the little chef's tricks.

I married into a line a of European chefs and am a technique and/or recipe fanatic. Rarely does my classically trained husband enjoy a video with me. He did now. I’m well pleased as is he. Mad props, kudos, thank you. You taught well and made it as entertaining as it is informative.

Such smoothness in every moves and every small steps. Such calmness and love for food that you appreciate the property of every small ingredients. Applaud Chef Jon. Thank you for sharing the small things. Looking forward to apply these in my own creation.

I could watch this bloke all day. Skilled, informative and engaging.

Usually my favorite chefs are french or asian but I made an exception for this guy! Excellent! Thank you sir !

I love how excited he was on the different veggies 🥗 he was going to use in his salad. He’s a great instructor and chef.

My Life Skills Culinary students LOVED this video. Even their Aide enjoyed it. This is going to be the first dish they make.

I consider myself a next level cook, bored from dummed down cooking shows. You Sir, you know your stuff. Thank you. Subscribed within 5 minutes of watching your video. I would also de-string the green beans though.

Amazing! I was dazzled. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This man was amazing. He was very informative and he was very enthusiastic and endearing. Please use him more often. I’m happy they showed a contemporary style at the end as well. 5 stars

Thank you Chef. I appreciated your detailed, but NOT boring presentation. You are the Mr. Rogers of the school...friendly, helpful and oozing with enthusiasm. Thank you again.

Love this chef! I've learned so much from watching your video. So delighted to see your enthusiasm and passion for cooking as well as teaching. What a jewel!

love this video. I've made that vinaigrette probably 50 times since I learned it from a chef I worked under but making that garlic paste is such a huge improvement.

Wow! What a gift you are to all of us..........learned soooooooooo much!! God bless you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

😆 "...oh look at you! That is a pretty potato. That is a very happy potato." Priceless!

Chef Paul... you are a true a true Artist... So glad I watched this video.

Brilliant video with so much in it to learn and stimulate your own ideas. I love the Chef's enthusiasm it's contagious!

The best introduction to a salad recipe.

I like this guy, he is not one of those dour Chefs that takes himself too seriously.

That's just outstanding. The whole thing. Thank you for all of those excellent little tips - they really do add up.

Chef Jon-Paul Hutchins, you are brilliant!!! Great techniques, wonderful ideas, fantastic food! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I look forward to watching more of your videos. ☺

This has always been one of my favorite salads, and seeing it prepared this way, I could easily have this every day of my life for lunch or as a savory breakfast (yes, I often start my day with a salad and protein).

A salad I didn't think I'd really care to try. Now I want one.

JPH you are an asset to your profession. Your explanations and historic stories are wonderful. It is clear why you are a teacher. You have proven that not all chefs are a bad attitude waiting for an opportunity to manifest. Please post more.

I love the history behind this glorious salad. Thank you so much!

I watched this video a few years and tackled this salad. Watching the video over and over, pausing to take notes. It came out as lovely as he said it would. His tips are smart and not that hard. Wish I had a bigger kitchen is all. I will make this tonight. Cutting on a bias!

Tasting the salt water changed a lot. Very good point. And cook these green beans til they taste good. Such a quick masters coarse is so many things. Very skillful.

So many tips! Thank you, chef!

Amazing video. This is what 5 star cooking is all about. This has gotta be a $30 salad.

his passion for reaching and cooking is backed by his obvious experience. I love how excited he gets when he realizes he has red pepper!

His technique is flawless!

I'm so glad to be schooled, salivating and entertained.

Amazing salad and such an enthusiastic and clear explanation! Thanx!

Thank you, for that wonderful recipe and demonstration, can't wait to try it!

His enthusiasm alone adds flavour to anything he touches

Pure joy ! Love, Love this loong presentation !

I like that you explain every single part. Very easy to follow. ty sir

Thank you so much for all this information, this is a treasure. I would love to follow you and learn more from you, you know so much and the way you pass on your knowledge makes me want to learn more and more.

Thank you chef! And knife skills are on point!! 🙌🏽

thank you very much, Chef, for the best Art you present salad nicoise recipe

Reflecting on this video the song “Everything is beautiful, in its own way” comes to mind. In a beautiful way

Well done Chef ! So many tips and techniques shared by you to be applied to other recipies. I enjoyed every minute of your video.

learned two new things.. garlic and salt, and the basil trick :-) thank you!

This is amazing! So informative I can't wait to make this salad!Thank you

Terrific presenter, and a classic Salad Nicoise beautifully executed with precise technique. Love it...now pass me that plate.

A perfect demonstration of a Master who loves to teach

So much amazing information and techniques! Thank you, Chef 👨‍🍳

Such art, finesse, and passion. Thank you for sharing Chef! Great tips to use when making this salad, you made it such fun 😅

Wow! Learned so much from this video. Thanks for sharing, and for the upload.

Obviously stellar teacher. Thank goodness the potato sexing was off-camera. What a great video! Salad Nicoise is one of my favorites.

This is fine art at its best and definitely jon-paul is a 6-stars chef. Just look at how he loves what he's doing, amazing i got hooked the whole session. If only i could eat this dish now.

That's one of the best cooking video i ever saw. Got me glued to the screen for 38 mins. Epic

This is very informative and entertaining. His technique is spot on and he has a very relaxed way of passing on some very important skills.

Most informative recipe video ever.

I came prepared to leave a snarky comment but ended up watching the entire video. Well done chef!

Really enjoyed this video and learned several tips! I'm 60 and have so much to learn about cooking! What have I been doing all these years!

Jon Paul you’re a Master Chef....I received a free class today...🙏

This was truly an amazing video - tips, tricks, & techniques included with a beautiful presentation. I have no idea where or how he got pitted nicoise olives - they're too small for my pitter. Nice trick with the roma tomatoes and egg as well. I really have to give it to this guy (not that way, miscreants). Nice job really.

Merci, Chef Jon, that was beautiful.

I couldn't imagine why it would take 38 minutes to demonstrate how a salade niçoise is made, but Chef Jon-Paul used this classic dish to teach a huge amount. So much information, so clearly, calmly and joyfully explained. For example, I learned proper grip of a knife long ago, and have seen it repeated over and over, but never knew why it was correct. There are so many techniques here for improving the way to prepare vegetables, tuna, dressing -- all with the background that lets you understand why these techniques made sense. Let me add that I'm an amateur, and never felt condescended to, that the techniques were out of my league, or a moment if those 38 minutes were wasted. Thank you, Chef!!

Thank you for the excellent presentation, and congratulations for the great respect you have for the history behind this salad. You are the first American Chef I have seen that made the salad as it should be. Yesterday I filleted a fresh tuna, and today I will make my salad. I prefer the classic version when I really need to eat.

Magnific , soberb both tecnics! lovely!

Thank you Chef, that was a treat for the eye....

Thank you for the video, great teaching style.

This Chef is Awesome !!! I had him asa teacher in 1994 at Scottsdale Culinary Institute. Very Talented. Good Guy!

So much information, thanks Chef Jon Paul. I learned so much. Makes me want to take some culinary classes.

Explains so well.... Thanks !

Wow, I learned so much from this video, thank you for sharing. ❤️. Lovely salad and will be making this for a BD party tomorrow.

Chef Hutchins, you are awesome!

Thank you so much Chef. This is beautiful. Salad Niçoise is like a comfort food to me. I spent many summers in Nice & also lived there. I always make it even when some ingredients are missing (as long as tuna, tomato, lettuce , olive & boiled egg are there, it still hits the spot). But of course the Niçoise “Royale” should include all the ingredients in your recipe. So I love that you shared the most Classic version , and even included Anchovy! 👏👏👏👏👏 When all these flavors come together, it’s magical. It’s the South of France on a plate. I will definitely try your Tuna technique to up my Nicoise Game. A few days ago I came across sushi grade tuna steaks at the Japanese market but did not buy them because I had no recipe in mind for them. Now I do thanks to you! Btw, The Sandwich Version of the salad Niçoise (Pan Bagnat) is also amazing! It’s a complete meal. But if you were to make it, what ingredients would you include ? Same as the salad? Or would you cut something out? When I went to school there, the food truck sold pan bagnat but it definitely didn’t include string beans or peppers nor anchovies. Also, they used Pain Restaurant instead of the traditional round bread. Nevertheless, it was really good.

brilliant! learned so much and very entertaining Chef Paul

Genius. Loved all the special tips on how to prepare each individual pieces of items in the salad. So many ways to prepare for the amazing Salad Nicoise. Merci beaucoup pour la bon recipe. Au revoir et bon appetit. 😂😂😂

Excellent chef the way you teach super

Best ever! What a master chef!!

This chef is so cool, I love his presentation style!

I ❤️ to watch how to make a really nice salad, and of course I going to try to make it. Thank you chef you are great! A real master of the Art of Cooking!

How utterly wonderful!!!

This was 10 yrs ago? I’d eat it today! How colorful & fresh it all looks! Great presentation., very informative.🍾

Thank you so much for sharing your cooking techniques. It is something I have always wanted to learn and improve on but couldn't afford to take classes.

natural born teacher, i wish i trained under you chef.

The BOB ROSS of the kitchen. Beautiful and helpful technics.

This was amazing, thanks a bunch for things i did not know. The egg in the tomato, blew my mind. Making this for my onslaught of visitors this fourth of JULY 2021

You are very passionate and it truly shows! Very well done!

Wow, this is a master class. Never saw so much in a cooking video.
