My name is Michael from Germany and i dont know how to express my happiness and greatfulness about your videos! Thank you!!! I will watch them all and spend all my money on ingredients and get into the kitchen to apply that knowledge.
I’m certainly no chef but I love cooking. I know exactly how he feels when describing following a recipe to the T and it doesn’t turn out as expected. One thing I learned and it’s embarrassing how long it took me to figure out it’s importance, is the quality of every single ingredient, no matter how basic. I remember I’d make scrambled eggs at home and they were NEVER EVER anywhere near as tasty as this one fancy restaurant I’d go to on occasion. It drove me bonkers that my eggs sucks and theirs are so friggin delicious. Well I found out they use free range, organic chicken eggs for one. I finally switched to the good quality eggs and that alone made a huge difference. Also not over cooking is critical. Most recipes don’t emphasize that.
I pushed the button, a lot, dude, and it wouldn’t take me anywhere🤷🏼♀️ What up? I thought the video was great. Finally someone who talks about the important parts of cooking. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with these videos. I always loved to cook and if I would study now, it would be Culinarily.I make cooking videos and it’s great to know The Culinary language in order to express while cooking.I work in a hospital pharmacy but I love cooking.When I drive to work and back every time, I watch your videos.👍🏼👨🍳
This is awesome, thank so much! I'm a chemistry student and also love to cook, so this is really great. For example, in the video that comes after this, the explanation about saliva being .4% salt is super interesting and helpful!
Hey Jacob, thanks a lot for starting up the posts again. I really appreciate. I'm just a home chef and don't intended on being anymore but I love learning how to be a chef besides just following a recipe.
Maybe an amateur practice but I do a check on at least 3 or 4 similar recipes and compare them... if a fake recipe is among them it will stand out in one way or another... This can very well also spark (in some cases) new ingredient (combination) ideas or use of new and/or unussual techniques... The 3-other-recipe method brought me in path of sous vide cooking and a very viable diy home brew version of it...
sandertel That's a good approach. By comparing various recipes you're able to define and separate flavor structure and technique. Now the next step is to start customizing those flavor structures into something uniquely yours.
Jacob Burton I got the other way around, try it in a restaurant or someplace, then deconstruct it by trial and error. Usually end up with something new and better. Always based on others opinions, never rely solely on mine
You are very intelligent I love listening to you since corona I haven’t been on the kitchen line in a minute and I’m thinking of opening my own food truck love your vids it helps me alot
At 6:10 Just wanted to point out that execution would have to be a zero for it to come out as nothing, given the formula. A 1 for execution would result in a score of 20 given flavor and technique are both 10’s. If we assume that 10 is the max score for all variables then we can assume that the scale is 0 to 200 which would put 20 points at a score of 10%. Assuming this score aligns with the typical United States education scoring system, a 10% would be an F.
Great job chef. Cant wait for the rest of the videos. I do remember seeing photos of the dishes that the students in the boot camp prepared, but do you think you can fill us in on what they were challenged to cook during each of the cooking sessions?
DAMN. As soon as this man took his giant sticky note and pasted it on the wall behind him, I knew I was dealing with genius far beyond my understanding.
Love your content, just found out about you and subscribed. Are their any videos where you go into your culinary background and how you go to where you are now?
Thank you. The full boot camp lecture series can be found here for free: stellaculinary.com/bootcamp. I plan on releasing the final video later this week. All the best!
I know I'm 7 yrs late but I really would love that free pdf; how can I obtain it.....im about to lay plans for a Plant-Base/VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT and this would be very helpful for me. Thanx in advance
I'm clicking the button, but it no longer does anything except stop and start the video. Is this still available? I've checked the website and cannot find it. I'd also like to know how to enrol on the actual course, is that possible?
Good lecture. Your experience with macaroons about exactly mirrors my first ten sourdough loaves. WHY AM I LEAVING IT TO SIT FOR A HALF HOUR BEFORE ADDING SALT ARGH EXPLAIN IT YOU STUPID RECIPE. :)
Jacob Burton Oh, sorry. I was being dramatic. No, I think I'm okay. The rest period, or autolyse, is there to hydrate the flour and allow proteins to get enough water so that gluten formation becomes significantly easier, which in turn reduces the time needed for active kneading (if you go that route). At least that's my layman/hobbyist understanding. Am I about on the mark? edit: and you don't put in salt because it strengthens gluten formation, and steals water away from the leaven, so you leave it until there's been a chance for some gluten to develop on its own. I'm a little fuzzier on that part. It seems to be a matter of opinion, not science. So if you want to clarify that, I'd be personally grateful.
Yep, we get more into that as the lecture progresses. Starting with the basic five flavors as building blocks is a good jumping off point when introducing people to the concept of flavor structure. Later in the lecture we talk about complexity of aroma, spiciness and piquancy, etc. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JacobBurton awesome! I'll have to check it out. I had a question about salt micronization. I was watching something on Kosher salt and how the larges crystal size delayed the onset of the intense salt flavor. Is that to do with the variable surface area and dissolution rate of the salt or the crevices and constant surface of the tongue? Also, would micronizing work to speed up the flavor onset of other crystalline flavorings like malic acid? Thanks for responding!
@@ekbergiw So in general, the smaller something is, the more surface area it has in ratio to its total mass, which leads to faster dissolving and a more immediate perception on the palate. This is why people will commonly say that "Table salt is saltier than kosher," which isn't true. Salt is salt, and the same WEIGHT of kosher / table salt (fine, granular crystals) dissolved in water will have equal levels of saltiness. But, by volume, more table salt can fit in an area than kosher (such as a table spoon), because the small crystals can pack more densely than the larger, irregular shape of the kosher. Mix this with the fact that table salt has a faster dissolve rate because it's surface area to density ratio is much higher, and you get the perception that table salt is saltier than other kinds of salt. This is true for other flavors as well to answer your micronizing question, such as minced garlic, micronized malic acid, etc. The smaller an item is, the more pronounced and intense its flavor perception will become.
+RubbinRobbin I love it. However, spice is more of a sensation than it is a flavor (even though peppers do have their own distinct flavor as well). It's great for cutting through fats and rich dishes, and balances sugar nicely. Be careful using spicy ingredients though if you plan on drinking red wine, especially a big Cabernet or Merlot. The tannin in the red wine mixes with the capsaicin in peppers causing the wine, and your palate, to get completely destroyed.
Jacob Burton Thanks. I recently tried some jalapenos with olives and they were decent, could have use some caramized onions. Is there like a chart I can look up for culinary artists like yourself to mix and match ingredients. Like olives, capers, etc.
Jacob Burton how are you sir. So i love culinary arts and grew in a home where food was limited so we made what we could with the amazing, fresh rich ingredients. I appreciate all parts of the food and let little go to waist which is the reason why im here, any advice woukd ne appreciated and also if spicy is a sensation wouldn't bitter also fall in the category. Sour is the taste of the acidity but bitter is the feel of it.

This is brilliant. I keep going back to watch these videos.
Glad for this to have popped up for me 😁 just been getting back into cooking myself and I totally understand the “sense for it” part very well
Wow i needed to hear that ... chef
Just google "F is for Flavor" and you'll find the PDF right away....u'll even find the entire curriculum!
Thanks 🙏

Thanks Chef ❤ It is very informative and helpful. 🎉

What if I told you there wasn't anyone else in the room?
Bro, that outro was hilarious. I clicked the button.
Thank u so much ...I love your videos..enjoyed the humor!👏😍
Liked the ending
WOW! I love it!
Really enjoyed the ending of this video lol
Great video.

Button to get F for Flavor book doesn't work - Really!!! want it!!!!
Great video, loved the ending.Great photoshop work on the cover by the way. :)

MSG is an artificial flavor enhancer, which must be a category, so we must arrive at another algorithm.
Super interessante!
Is the book still available?
❤️❤️
great song
your pdf download button is not working!!!

Awesome video, I like how u put it together, but just one thing.. Can u like.. not pacing that much?
Frank li The pacing is how I get my daily exercise during the boot camp. As you can see by my trim, girlish figure, it's very effective.
Jacob Burton lol nice!

9:30 Spicy (pick one of several active chemicals) and also butter flavor. There are more than 5 flavors

What about spicy/hot? To me that's a flavor too.
It's technically classified as a sensation(pain) , therefore it's not a flavour although it does mix in nicely with other flavours.

4:40 If you put it in your mouth 👄 and is sucks, it sucks.
You se funny
That is 5 basic tastes sir..not flavour
