Hey Jamie, French trained pastry chef here. Love your series! Agree that more delicate folding of the egg whites would've helped. Also, faster piping, with a wider nozzle. Pushing the mix through a narrow nozzle will deflate the eggs, as will time and your warm hands against the mix in the piping bag. I'd recommend to get a 1.5" wide round nozzle and try to pipe them in one quick line, raised from the tray so the shape stays high and cylindrical.

"I hope everyone's okay" on being interrupted by sirens is so very Canadian.

Whenever my grandma made a charlotte, she would prep the filling, the biscuits and the soak and have everything ready for the final assembly. She'd dip the ladyfingers into the liquid and immediately set them in the mold with no downtime in the rack, so they'd soften up with the pan supporting the biscuits without having to handle them any further.

When you toss aside the second batch of ladyfingers and they limply implode on themselves into the charlotte mold, dragging the parchment with them: That is the most honest moment in food television I have ever seen!

How come when I say “Gonna need a bowl” when I’m cooking, nothing happens? Clearly my ceiling is broken. 😂 Thanks for your fabulousness

I said to my kids “there’s a new Jaime and Julia video” and my seven year old promptly planted herself on the couch to watch. She loves Julia and she loves you too. ❤️

This man is as real as it gets. Joy, pain, exasperation, indifference, acceptance, reverence, irreverence, exhaustion. Subbed up and here for it. On to a quarter million Jamie.

When Jamie got genuinely distracted for a sec hearing that ambulance go by and was worried if everyone would be okay, was So precious and part of why I love these videos is how nice he is, even during the most frustrating moments

[KassFireborn]

I was wincing when you came to the dunk, because I could already tell they weren't dry enough for that. Well, that's another learning experience? And I do love that about you: that you show us the difficult learning process, not just the "good" take.

For the Lady Fingers: Put a COUPLER in the piping bag but do not add a metal tip. Screw the ring on to secure the coupler to the bag. The open end of the coupler is the perfect size for piping Lady Fingers, Choux Paste, etc.

I cook on a minor level and I feel his pain as he corrects mistakes. I appreciate his effort into every recipe.

[melsyoutube]

this is one of my favorite videos you’ve done 😭 the julia impersonation, the street noise, the editing, the failed attempts, “the girl who lives here” walking out, etc 😂 i’m so glad i found your channel and binged through it

[MBMUK]

Jamie, I’ve had a truly terrible week. This gave me a 27 minute break from it and I am so grateful for your existence. Have an amazing weekend

My "trick" for softening butter quickly without accidentally melting half of it in the microwave is taking a large mug, filling it with water, and microwave the mug for like 2 min. Dump out the water and then place the mug over the butter stick (I cut it in half to fit under the mug). The steam/heat will soften them pretty good by the time you're all set up with all the other stuff. Or of course just microwave in short bursts if you're risky and impatient lol.

Yeah you know when Julia warned you about the calories it had to be something special. This was a treat to watch and far easier on the waist line. Thank you.

[kathyjohnson]

I love how you keep the mistakes in your videos instead of creating the illusion of getting it right the first time. I learn a lot from watching your shows. Thank you for being up front with your audience.

[pjef]

Another great episode. You make me LITERALLY laugh out loud with almost every episode. I LOVED the "And Jamie was never seen again" bit .... hilarious !!

[KhanaHatake]

The wax paper having measurements lines on them but not using them is peak Jamie

[durdudunsanders]

Oh boy, if even Julia warns you it must have more calories per gram than uranium.

Re: butter softening -- The more surface area that's exposed, the faster the butter will warm. So if I've planned poorly, as often happens, I slice the sticks of butter into relatively thin pieces (though not *too* thin), say 10-12 sturdy pieces per stick, and let them rest on a plate while I do other prep. Before you know it the butter has warmed enough to throw in the mixing bowl.
