Was asked the theory behind this when I made his honey glazed ham and didn’t have an answer besides his word. Anyone able to clarify?
I've made Chef's salted chicken multiple times. It's an easy go-to recipe that never fails. My wife was wanting this but with turkey. We have a bird a little less than 10lbs. Would 450 absolutely scorch this thing if I tried it? Has anyone ever done anything similar? Maybe i could spatchcock it?? Idk i'm just looking for some help.
I'll be cooking a birthday dinner for 10 people. It'll be at a rental property in someone else's kitchen which already makes me a bit nervous, but I know there's a full kitchen. I was originally thinking chicken sandwiches, but I feel like I need something a bit nicer for a birthday dinner. Does anyone have any good Chef John recipe suggestions for this situation?
Thank you in advance!
The state fair lemonade is almost life changing. I mashed over ripe peaches before dissolving the sugar and got this. Also the best raspberry, strawberry, & regular lemonade I have ever tasted. I recommend mashing summer fruits for flavored lemonade.
Mine is Caldo Verde, but i'm looking to add some more soups to my repertoire. Thank you for your suggestions.
UPDATE: This is fucking awesome! Thanks y’all!! Soup season is fully upon us and I’ve got lots of great recommendations now! The more the merrier!
My kids love it and can’t get enough of it when the weather turns cold.
Pulled from coolguides…. Nice but seems a woefully inadequate list
I need help
I’m sorry

I am so glad that Chef John is staying his authentic self and hasn't drifted off like Joshua Weissman and Binging with Babish have. Both were so create at first and then money took over and everything turned more and more into just pure entertainment and monetization.
Thank you Chef John!
So good, it’s hearty and comforting, just soup that tastes amazing and warms your soul. I could have taken a prettier picture but that would have increased the amount of time before I could devour it. Not necessarily pretty, but wanted to share my love of this soup!
Making it right now and it smells and looks fantastic. Wonder why chef John doesn’t have us sear it before. Would it burn the tomato? Is it traditionally not seared?
Hello fellow redditors, For those of you who have tried multiple recipes, which one was your favorite and why? AND,
Did you make an alteration to something that made it better? What was it?
Thanks in advance for the replies
Scored a shit ton of pears and Chef had a recipe
I just made the sourdough in this video and I had a question- he makes a levain using 100g of a starter and then only uses part of it. Am I supposed to use the remainder as the "starter" for the next time I make this bread?
He says (at 3:27) after adding 70g of the levain: "Which by the way is the exact weight of the flour and water we added to our starter. Which means we'll have 100g left, which we'll pop in the fridge, which we'll use to make the next batch."
So now, in my fridge I have my original starter and the leftovers from Chef John's recipie. I thought levains were used up after a bake? And is the remainder supposed to be the "starter" in the recipie?
My original starter gets plain flour, and this one had wheat and rye in it- maybe I just have 2 starters now?
Any advice is appreciated! I'm still super new to bread making
Not bad not bad. I always cook with too much oil and end up burning myself. lol
German chocolate caaake! That's right. I'd like to make a request for the man himself to make a German chocolate cake. I've tried a couple different recipes and they felt "meh." Maybe this specific cake isn't my thing? Unsure, but I'd still like to have a go at making one from Chef John.
I love the carnitas recipe. I probably make it a couple dozen times a year and am slavishly faithful to it because it always delivers but it's suuuuuuper hot where I am today and don't think I can put the oven on for 4 hours. Anybody ever use an instant pot or whatever pressure cooker to make it and just finish it under the broiler? Is this crazy talk? Will I ruin the pork? I don't want to make pulled pork, I like the chunks.
It's a great hot dish for a pot luck. It makes a LOT.
It's a lovely, fresh pasta salad!
buuuuuuuuttt.... It feeds a whole army. Seriously, this is like 20-some portions. (And the solitary and seeded pepper is shockingly spicy - and I love Chef John's cayenne addiction.)
If you're not feeding ravenous teens or an army, cut it in half, and maybe use the jalepeno diced, not blended. But it is as promised: a lovely, fresh, and light non-mayo-dressed pasta salad!
