“Most of you aren’t even here for a cooking lesson”

Chef John knows his audience well.

"Ancient Tuscans didn't have to take pictures". I always learn something from Chef John.

Augustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop.
On the bank of a river of onion soup,
Slurping away like a nincompoop
No spoon, or ladle, or ice cream scoop.

He guzzled and guzzled all day long,
Til suddenly something went horribly wrong.
As he reached for a crouton, he fell right in
To never be seen, or heard from again.

Yeah you're right Chef John, I came here just to see you cook! and as

[Kitchensurprise]

I AM here for the cooking lessons and the comic relief! I have made so many of Chef John’s recipes, I have a whole collection of them and as soon as I make this, it will be added to my favorite recipes.

I have had so many episodes of Food Wishes on in the background when working and doing creative work, cleaning house, and living... I felt so called-out when Chef John said many watching weren't here for a cookery lesson... That's me. I think that demonstrates how entertaining and engaging you are, Chef. That says something, for sure.

I made this last night and got rave reviews. I added the cinnamon and almonds and can't imagine not doing that - the soup wasn't overly sweet, and the almonds add a richness that you need if you're using vegetable stock, which I did. Absolutely delicious and the recipe is perfect as is. Thank you!

The beautiful simplicity of Chef John’s true love of food is what makes his videos so magical to watch. Even if I never want to cook or bake what he’s making, it’s still mesmerizing to watch. He deserves every accolade on these comment posts.

Thanks for this BECAUSE of the cinnamon. This year I am exploring cinnamon in my cooking so this is a great addition.

You are after all the Betty Boop of your Tuscan Onion Soup

Year after year of following Food Wishes, Chef John still never disappoints. From the food to the puns, he brings me back for more and more. Cheers, mate!

I watch these videos in hopes of catching a glimpse of the freakishly small wooden spoon. The genius level, surefire hit recipes and or history lessons are just cherry on top.

Chef John, Could you be anymore amazing?!

[nikolamladenovic]

We used to make this at school (culinary school in Italy) but we did it in a different way. After finishing the soup and the toasts we would take some clay dishes, for 1 person, put the toast on the bottom, cover it with the soup and put it in the oven for some time. The toast inside gets soaked in the soup, but being a toast it stays kinda firm. Amazing.

I love Tuscan food its comfort food with the most simple ingredients put together perfectly Imo

After all, you are the Paul Bunyan of your Tuscan soup made with onion.

Challenge accepted, Chef John, challenge accepted.

Chef John. Your salt video was very informative and appreciated. Would you please consider doing an onion video? Different types, cutting styles and why.

[richdelgado]

1:47 THANK YOU for showing people how to hold food they're cutting! So many YouTube "chefs" hold the food with their fingers outward, and they're just asking for people to cut off their fingertips. Thanks for showing that you need to tuck your fingers in a bit and use your knuckles as a knife guide.
