It's been a rough day today and I've been avoiding eating recently but it's nice seeing his videos, just the happy thumbnail makes it so much better and at least gives me some slight motivation into cooking. Keep up the videos ❤️
S-Tale . I know you don't know me but I hope next week goes so much better for you. Also you really need to eat something my friend. ( not trying to tell you what to do) I am wishing you all the best. Thing's will get better. Take care.
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. You are one of my comfort cooks! Especially the video you did in Paris tasting all the treats... LOVED THAT!! Just the sound of your voice soothes me. Thanks for being YOU 🌟
Wow - made this for my wife and I tonight and it was absolutely fantastic. I used littleneck clams and was afraid of what the champagne would do to the flavor, but wow - everything (especially the toast) was really really good. Thank you for this. Simple but great.
off topic but just to let you know… my 12 year old nephew follows you on youtube and made an absolutely delicious chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream frosting with chocolate ganache on top by following some of your recipes. thank you for being an inspiration to him.
My food taste was based on prejudices, I was not into seafood at all. But this year I've decided to enrich my food cultures and now seafood is one of my fav ones. At the shores of our Black Sea there are many restaurants with delicious seafood and this was my whole menu this summer.😅I have only cooked fish, calamari and prawns, but I should try cooking mussels or clams by your nice recipe.😇
My god, that looks delicious. Such simple flavours yet so good. Now I'm starving for seafood. I always disposed of the ones that were open before cooking and didn't close with a quick tap, because those were potentially dead (and therefore potentially bad) too. Also, if anyone is worried about "irritating" them with semolina, flour, etc you don't have to. You're not irritating them, but encouraging them to have a quick snack, which then causes them to eject any sand that is inside them from previous feeds.
Ooo my good! They looks amazing! I love se food! They remind me Greece! Thanks for these amazing recipie John! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good weekend! 👍👏🍴
I used to make live muscles in a similar way. I'm not vegan/vegetarian but these days I can't bring myself to kill the little critters by cooking them. Can't cook live clams or lobster either.
The night before, in a pail of cold water i add lots of oatmel.. The clams hate and spit out the sand.. I prefer to micro wave the clams and eat with melted butter..
Hello John, I am Keerthi from India. I am yours biggest fan. is it possible to make lollipop design cake without fondant but only using buttercream frosting? If possible can you please make a video on it. It is my request.
What an awesome and elegant meal. My husband is going to love it!! Thanks John. P.S. we always add cornmeal to the soaking clams. No big difference, right?
Yeah, it doesn't so much irritate them as it encourages them to start filter feeding, and that, in the process, flushes out any remaining grit or sand that they've consumed in the process before being caught. As long as they think it's dinner time (for them) it'll work. :) If your shellfish is farmed, then hopefully it has less sand already, but it never hurts to give them a snack and encourage any lingering gritty stuff out before you cook them.
But you lose the delicious sea water in them … the clam diggers I see collect the clams from the sandy bottom then put them in floating baskets , thus the sand gets flushed
I always print all your recipes but I thought it would be nice to have the book. Can't wait to get it. Also I'm so sad that I couldn't purchase a ticket to come to your farm. I used to live in NJ which would have been a short drive but I live in Idaho now. I'm really bummed about that. Can you use white wine in place of the champagne?
Yummy! You forgot to add that you should never eat any clams that have cracked/broken shells or that remain closed after steaming. Discard them as they are probably dead and full of bacteria.
Great idea…. Close to my linguini and white clam sauce recipe. Question…. Roasting garlic, I love the flavors but not the pungent odor that can lodge into carpets, drapes and upholstery. Does the roasting process fill the house with that smell? Honestly I’ve never tried it, for that very reason. Also, for a healthier version, could you use EVOO instead of butter? I do add a smaller dollop of butter to my clam sauce to finish it and make it rich and shiny but the body of my sauce is EVOO and sometimes a bottle of clam juice added. I love the champagne idea. That will go into my sauce when I make it for our Italian Christmas Eve Feast of Seven Fishes. Lovely recipe. Thank you.
Hey! I really love your channel and your recipes. I was just wondering if I could suggest a cake to make? There was this one cake I ate at Costa in London, it was a Raspberry and Blackcurrent ripple cake and good god, it tasted soo heavenly that I can't help but wish to make it. Only there is no recipe for it online. Please help? :D Thanks, John. Love from India.
I have always LOVED clams but unfortunately here in north Alabama we don’t have access to fresh clams. Could I possibly use frozen clams? I’d really like to make this!!! 😊
Wait wheres the pasta lol Im American Sicilian so we add pasta to the clams, dish called clams linguine in white sauce your recipe is very close. Going to try your recipe😀
