Making my way through Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" cookbook... like the movie "Julie & Julia". Today I make Cheese Soufflé.

You've got to be my favorite cooking content maker online. For the rest of us, this is how it goes. You forget to put things in. You don't do something right. Sometimes it's inedible. I think that's what intimidates people. You see all these experts, and they are very good! Online, and it leaves the impression that if you don't pull it off perfectly every time then you're probably not ever going to be able to cook. You make the messes, clean them up and try again and it inspires the rest of us to get in the kitchen and try and if we fail? Oh well! Jamie screwed up an entire expensive! Duck. You have to be willing to fail. Cuz you're going to.

My mom made this recipe when I was growing up. It was my brother’s favorite birthday meal for years. I’ve converted many people who were afraid of soufflés with this recipe - you have to pay attention, but it’s pretty straightforward, inexpensive overall, and so good. So glad I found this channel!

[harkmi]

You read the recipe first! It’s a whole new Anti-chef!

Looks delectable, definitely something I would like to try. Appreciate you sharing your cooking & baking knowledge with us

I really appreciate Jamie editing out the “hey Siri” part of set a timer for 25 min. You are too kind.

Looks great! Quick tip for helping it rise: Run the tip of your finger around the inside of the rim after you fill the ramekins to make a little moat. It'll stop them from cracking in the middle and they'll rise better!

Brave, brave man. You are the epitome of the adage, if at first you don't succeed...

You certainly make it look so easy. Maybe I'll give this a try one day...

Absolutely binging your entire channel with my partner these days ❤️✨ We are young home-cooks, we enjoy trying different recipes and learn on the way as well. You quickly became our favorite cooking channel, because unlike most, you genuinely feel like company! It's like meeting up with a fellow student in college. Rooting for you with every single recipe/episode!

at least you remembered to turn the oven on

I wish youtube had a smell function. Looks fab!!!

Making a soufflé is on my cooking bucket list- yours are stunning

[cartoonhead]

It's amazing how much this kitchen looks like an old flat I had in Clapham.

I did a deep dove on macarons...the best way was to leave your whites in fridge for several days woth saran wrap and holes punched in top. This makes the water evaporate, the proteins break down slightly which is good. Using the older whites you had saved probably accomplished this which is why they were noticeably better.

[patrickdonkers]

Love that you finally started reading the recipe😅

Emmental is PERFECT for soufflé! Good job man! Love your channel.

[memahselfni]

If I'm not mistaken, though, Julia and Emeril forgot to add actual cheese to the souffle they made on his show once so I think she forgives you for not topping it. I can't remember if they opened the door or not, but they did admit their mistake after the commercial break

[DelGuy]

Looks great! Congratulations! By the way, in later books Julia remarks that sharp cheddar also makes a very tasty soufflé -- it's just not at all a French taste.

[nargileh]

Aim for softer peaks when whisking the egg whites, being able to hold it above your head is too much for a soufflé. The egg proteins still need to stretch in the oven while it rises up.
Also butter the side of the ramequin with vertical motion to help the rising.

[SundaysChild]

Wow, they look pretty darn good from here ... congrats!

“I was trying to make a soufflé out of my ass” #deceased 🤣🤣🤣 these videos make my week, thank you!
