I personally like the fact that this video was done in real time. Thomas Keller's videos are about the entire experience of cooking and not about just rattling off a recipe.

Excellent teaching. I'm 76 and you have opened up to me a treasure. Thank you.

People in comments all complaining about his technique😂😂😂 come back when you have 7 Michelin stars👌🏿

This video was so professionally done. Chef Keller is definitely a natural and a master of his craft but Devin is great as well. He is a true student of the art and you can see how much time and study he has put into not only technique and quality of ingredients but the tools they use as well. I know he was a bit nervous and seems somewhat of an introvert but I really have to commend him for going out his comfort zone for art of cooking. Very well done and I have learned so much. I really appreciate these two taking the time to explain everything as well as shooting in real time.

I love watching Chef Keller doing this type of thing. He gives so much insight into cooking besides the recipe. I really feel like I'm learning so much more about cooking besides the actual recipe.

I appreciated a lot of Chef Knell's comments, they helped answer some questions I had about cooking. For example, his pointer on reducing sauces, specially paying attention to flavor and viscosity, was good to hear.

Thomas Keller, my inspiration goes to you and I love the way you approach cooking and your culinary background.
I am a fan for life and as a professional cook and former restaurateur, i learn a lot ideas from you.
Thank you sir

Thomas Keller seems so warm, calm, and humble in all of these videos. It's very refreshing for such a highly esteemed, accomplished chef.

I love this video, Thomas Keller explained much ideas/theories behind the skills/ techniques which could be applied in other or your own receipts!

[SavoirLife]

I started to watch his MasterClass series and have been blown away by his character then his superior chef skills, an absolute genius and inspirational beyond description. If he was born in France he would parallel Paul Bacouse et al.. His passion for everything he touches and he touches everything (most tactile person I’ve ever seen, except for my mum 😊)

[DoloresGeyer]

I loved watching them prepare a whole meal! Looks delicious! Thank you!

[carolyndavid]

Beautiful presentation Chef Thomas! Appreciate you sharing these information. it is not just a recipe.. it is the process, science, and art about it! I am always learning!! True professional Chef!

[henrypark]

Thank you for sharing this useful video. It is very helpful to me.

[AnthonyBottari]

Such an amazing Chef..I learn something new every time I read his cookbooks or hear him speak.

[theinquisitor]

This video is brilliant and refreshing for the fact that the chefs are talking about the chemistry of cooking. As an art, cooking is the most complicated form of chemistry - you have a product and dozens of uncontrollable variables you need to account for on the fly. You need to know the theoretical best state, and adapt as needed every time

You can really see the passion and excitement of Chef Keller when he tasted the food, even after so many years of cooking. It looked so genuine. It only happens when someone really enjoys cooking. I also enjoy that Chef Keller shows respect to his Sous Chef as well.

[wendyannh]

This was terrific. Not only does the recipe itself sound yummy, but I particularly appreciated learning about the whys and wherefores of the various techniques and practices.

[SWF]

Thomas Keller is a natural at being in front of the camera. Devin is so nervous in front of the camera though he is just as awesomely knowledgeable as Thomas Keller.

Great man, Chef and Mentor for sure. I have Eaten at the French laundry, having heard a bunch of chefs were coming, we were spoiled for sure. We saved up for a while to go to eat there, it was worth it for sure. What people don't know is that everything is simple, nothing is so complex that it is impossible to do. That is what make Thomas Keller unique and great for sure.
