Coq Au Vin | Classic French Chicken Stew
A classic French stew which chicken is braised slowly in red wine and a little cognac creating a delicious rich sauce with tender mouthwatering chicken , crisp bits of pancetta , mushrooms and pearl onions. Traditional recipes call for a whole cut-up chicken, but using all dark meat gives a more succulent dish without the risk of overcooked white meat. If you would rather substitute a whole cut-up bird, just add the breasts in the last 30 minutes of simmering.

Pandoro symbolizes Christmas in Italy like few other desserts (except for its sister cake, panettone, from Milan). It even looks like a Christmas tree-a towering, star-shaped cake topped with pastry cream, fresh berries and snow-white powdered sugar. It originates from the northern Italian town of Verona, the romantic city made famous by Romeo and Juliet. Like panettone, pandoro (meaning litera...

So underneath the coco butter is chalk dust..YUK
In the video ….. you will see that I remove the non toxic chalk dust before applying the undercoat of coco butter. Otherwise you can free hand the flowers and skip the chalk transfer step. Good luck !
OHHHH THIS Video is only a video to your other video that we have to PAY $42.00 for your class... THIS is "Click Bait" . .. aka... Advertisement for your business... Let us know that NEXT time in the Title of the First Video. Its okay to charge for your business... but don't ACT like this is a FREE class. That is misleading... Just say in your TITLE that you have a Master Class plus cost... Good luck and God Bless.
Do you use the same brand of paints for the green and blues ? I noticed the set is warm hues. Im curious how to get the other colors ?
I simmer the water but the coca butter is placed over the simmered water - off flame The heat of the water melts the cocoa butter
Hey! I have found your video very helpful and i will definitely try it.. i want to ask can i use unsalted butter instead of cocoa butter as cocoa butter is very hard to find in my area as well as tell me any replacement of cocoa butter colors, that would be very appreciated. And can we use powdered sugar or icing sugar instead of chalk?
Thanks ❤
Would really like to see you adding the cocoa butter to the illustration.
Thank you
Wow
Thanks for the tutorial, i love drawing sunflowers this is my first painting and our came out good.❤
What paint you use Sir please. Amazing job
I love this tutorial! The only thing I'm sad about is missing the shadows and highlights to the leaves. I wish I could upload my results to this comment!
Very childish & very disappointed in tutorial!!!
This is a 'style'. There are all kinds of sunflower paintings, and many are obnoxious!
@@kathytincler2446 I didn't say it was obnoxious. Do you like replying to a comment you apparently don't seem to comprehend?
I liked it.. pretty crisp colourful sunnies.. Nice tutorial.. thankyou
Wow that’s amazing tutorial I’ve ever seen so far the best teaching techniques and experiment unbelievable it’s going to help me to paint a lot better than I ever thought thank you so much 🥰🌈

i'm the first person!! WOW! so wonderful cakes decoration😍😍 i hope i can practice your technique of decoration some cakes in my kitchen😍
It is 3 years later... you made the cakes yet... if so... how are you doing..?
@@judichristopher4604 for the beginner is so difficult but now its so easy😆
Amazing
I love 💕 this Frank..I think I’ll make for Easter ty love
Could you put the exact link for your pencil plz?
Thank you!
That is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful job. ❤️❤️
WOw! This is just MARVELOUS!! Question, which I may already guess the answer but like an expert like you to answer me. I understand the cocoa butter is melted and you kept over simmering water to keep liquid and warm. That must be a very thin line between too hot "so not to melt the egg easter chocolate when painting on" and cold "where it would solidify and not work as paint" .. So I guess my question turned into a comment, where I'm only surprised how uuu were able to manage the temperature properly so it doesn't melt the chocolate. I could come up with a question though. Can I use this same technique on Buttercream frosting? With regards to the photo transfer on crusted buttercream and with regards to painting using cocoa butter? Second question, can I use the Color mill brand to color cocoa butter??? Lastly, very smart to have white paint then the colorful colors. I guess you did that so the colours turn out their real color vs painting on the dark chocolate directly that will result in a darker tone of the color applied? Thx Thx a lot for your wonderful tutorial
What did you use for white color? Is it dioxide titanium? Or white gel colour?
No i used white food gel
The egg turned out so well; it's got such a classic, French country-style flair to it that I adore! I would love to know what brand of egg mold you used for this project or at least where one could get a mold of this size? I've struggled finding anything above a 6 inch mold online through most major online retailers such as Amazon, Ebay, etc.
Hi Peter - I'm so glad to hear that your hand painted egg turned out well. I would love to see it infocelebrate365@gmail.com I actually purchased the chocolate egg - wasn't feeling that ambitious. I agree most are on the smaller side . If I come across anything while on line I will share it with you - Best Regards Frank
Hi! Do we need to temper the cocoa butter?
I apologize for the delayed response - no tempering the cocoa butter will make it difficult to paint with
No
Just fucking paint on it
Can I use the coco color to paint the chocolate moulds to create chocolate shells.. N please let me know the proportion to mix the colors..
Thank you for the question. I’m not sure I understand exactly. Are you asking if after you create your chocolate shells if you can then paint them using this technique? If so, the answer is yes. The proportion to mix the color varies on the intensity and how opaque verses translucent I want my colors. The same as when painting using watercolor or acrylic paints. I hope my answer was helpful. Please let me know 😊
@@franklamendola3193 Thank you for your response..
@@poornimasingh3235 if you’re using powdered lake pigments, then use 5% pigment and 95% tempered cocoa butter eg 5g titanium dioxide to 95g cocoa butter
Beautiful...innovation..👌 Thank you sir..💐
All recipe are amazing... Post more recipes plz.. I m from India
& this is great Frank it’s all gluten free no flour thanks so much for the idea👍🏼💕
Good job 👍🏼 I think I’ll make this tonight! So sick of grilling 🤩
Can I use cocoa butter paint to paint in any chocolate surface? Or it should be on a chocolate with a specific surface texture?
Thanks for the question. I would think on any surface. The smoother the better. Most of my successes have been from just experimenting. Give it a try and please let me know the results. Thx Frank
Another question, can I use vegetable shortening instead of cocoa butter? Thank you
Thanks a lot.
Hi. I like this presentation but just out of curiosity, at minute 4:11 you move your transfer sheet and WOW, you already have the painting set up. You missed extremely important part of how you did it. I understand this is your secret, but the whole video loosing its goal. Is this possible to show you magic trick? Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your comments. After I transfer the image using a very sharp pencil I block out the image ( flowers, leaves and stems ) in cocoa butter with white pigment. Once the white dries, I use a stiff damp brush to brush away all the chalk residue. That’s what is shown at 4:11 Then I continue applying color in layers on top. I would not attempt using vegetable shortening since it doesn’t harden the same as coca butter. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@franklamendola1211 THANKS A LOT!!!!! Would you be able to answer my second question?
Irina Melamud I did in my first reply 😊
@@franklamendola1211 So I may use vegetable shortening instead of cocoa butter?
I would not attempt it .... since vegetable shortening does not harden the same as cocoa butter.
Your plants so beautiful & healthy 🌱
