  1. What part exactly requires skill? Skill in asking the butcher for the right piece? The rest is literally cutting and mixing, the absolute basics to cooking.

  2. love the long pull into focus and then cutting it a millisecond after we can actually see what it looks like on the plate, just leaves me wanting more! Kudos to the editor!

  3. I know the he's a highly respected chef and deservedly so, but (to my recollection) there is not a single aspect of French cooking that seems appealing to me. Fry that or shove it in the oven for a bit and I coupd be tempted – but eating it raw like that would make it reappear pretty quickly.

    But hey, each to their own.

  4. 2:24 Note how he glides the blade forwards and down….slicing. Not guillotine type vertical chopping. OK, less an issue with meat, but definitely with vegetables with cell structure like onions.

  5. Pretty sure you ment to put a few dashes of tabasco sauce too as I can see it in your mise en place chef… lol

  6. I’ve had it once. I was with a group of people visiting Caen and wanted tripe in the local style, but ended up having to settle for steak tartare that I really enjoyed.

  7. Hang your meat, shave off the meat with a fairly sharp silver spoon. The meat comes off, leaving fat and gristle behind.

  8. Thank you, Chef for sharing your secrets with us on this video. We truly get to learn from one of the greatest chefs for free. He is definitely showing us everything. It’s amazing what we get to learn if you like cooking from the greatest chefs
