Bro I just discovered this dude like 2 days ago and when I tell u I’m ADDICTED to his content . It’s just so unique . As a person who loves watching people bake or cook all types of food I’ve never seen someone following a cookbook and sticking to it and not keeping it as a “series “ and what makes it even better is that he isn’t a professional he’s just an ordinary human learning from his mistakes and fixing them little by little . You can really see the improvements between him 5 years ago and now it’s crazy

Wait, Julia's been sending you all those bowls and books from the sky? The Anti-Chef lore goes way deeper than I expected.

WHAT??!!! I'm 64, and my dad and I used to watch Julia Child on TV (in black and white) for laffs when I was in grade school--until we saw this recipe and I said "Dad, you gotta write this one down!" He ran to the kitchen, got a pencil and paper and presto! We've been having stuffed pumpkin every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas for over a half century now--and our kids have continued the tradition!

I started this thinking there is no way I would want to cook with an entire pumpkin. And I finished it thinking “I want that.”

HINT: Cut the pumkin tops so that the top of the cap has a larger diameter (hold the knife at a greater angle)
For the detached stem use a wooden toothpick as a dowel.

While I have ABSOLUTELY no intention of making either of these recipes, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Jamie make them.

You are blowing up! Lol, ,,,even my husband starts paying attention because of your honest personality, thought process and heart that you so eloquent present on a plate! ORDER UP!

I'm living for the moment at 9:55 when he says that the top is going to fall in...and it does. Such a real experience.

Jamie and Julia has become my go-to asmr video to sleep to

I know a lot of these recipes are insanely hard to make, and it’s easy to get discouraged when it doesn’t come out like Julia’s. However, I’d take solace in the fact that she was showing us her _perfected_ results. Goodness knows how many failed attempts she worked on just to show us the end, TV ready, results. I both have respect for her and for you for even attempting these dishes! Keep up the great work 🎃

Stuffed pumpkin is my ABSOLUTE favorite. There are so many ways to take it! Pork and cider. Cheese, mushroom, bacon and toasted bread, cheese & pasta bake or sweet rice with dried fruit and chestnut. Pretty much anything that is cooked in a dish can be cooked in a pumpkin. I recommend cooking the stuffed pumpkin in a pie dish, it's the perfect size:)

I actually love the fact that this channel doesn't have a perfect presentation at the end. It's way more relatable to my own cooking. Just an absolute disaster while cooking, confusion, chaos, and at the end something that more often than I care to admit resembles just a pile of.... I think that's edible(?) but it doesn't matter cause it tastes great.😂

I am addicted! It’s the sadist in me! I am a chef and I get an evil thrill out of watching him mess up. Mostly the earlier videos but he is becoming quite the cook through trial and error. Gold!

[cynthiafisher]

I know that you’ll never see this comment because this video was from two years ago, but you inspired me to start cooking outside of my comfort zone and I made an absolute killer dinner last night that I’m so proud of! I never would have done it if I hadn’t seen your videos. Thank you. ❤

[umanahjayy]

you know Jamie is chaotic when he brought out that second pumpkin....and I love it

[BigHenFor]

Pumpkins are a star. From mash to soup, and all the ways between. They deserve way more love. Just bake them in pyrex mixing bowls. You and Julia made them the star, and did them well.

I'm a old Cajun cook and u still make me lol.Ur a breath of fresh air.Keep on keeping on!!!

I was inspired to make the stuffed pumpkin dish because of this video (thanks, Anti-Chef). It was good. It needed a bit more seasoning than the recipe called for (i.e. salt, pepper, & nutmeg), but it's worth it. Next time, I want to make one addition: add some pork sausage, as it will give it more texture and flavor. It's my first time ever doing anything with a pumpkin (carving doesn't count) and it really was easy.

This recipe seems like it would be really cool to make for a dinner party in a bunch of smaller pumpkins so everyone could have an entire stuffed pumpkin to themselves! Some pumpkin varieties are bred more for decoration and others for food - I wonder if a different variety would hold up better in the oven?
