Had to come back to this video for a refresher to make it for my husband for Father’s Day today. So sorry to see that he has passed. I hope his family gets a bit of comfort knowing his cooking lives on in so many families. ❤️❤️❤️
When you're hungry and want to go out, you go to a place like Jacks. Nothing snobby about him and you can see he understands flavors. This is a great change from most tv chefs, very approachable 👍
I've worked in many different types eateries (ran the gambit from chain restraunts, fine dining and everything in between) & one thing is certain - Chef's like this gentleman are a treasure. He's great at what he does & is clearly a joy to work with.
Spent my life working in kitchens and have been referred to as chef numerous times. My response was always, I'm not a chef. A chef is a really good cook with a really arrogant attitude. That was until I found Chef Jack on RU-vid. Love the way he interacts and appreciates and respects his entire staff. I stand corrected!
I sat thru this entire video with out looking at how much time was left once. These videos are educational and a treat. Visually and mentally. You the man Jack. We need more men like daddy jack in the world.
Went to farmstand picked up fresh tomatoes,basil,garlic, and some other items I use. Made this recipe and turned out absolutely delish. Wife had it with leftover fried shrimp. Having seconds.. Thanks for something different.
Some of the best meals (in my experience) have been made by visits to the value rack for veg and meat. I can make a beautiful new orleans style bread pudding with day old French bread. As my mother says, it's easy when you know how - lol
Fire And Mugs budget cooking is good when you put some mental effort into it, especially when only for yourself. Buying raw ingredients in bulk requires some planning ahead and preservation techniques, which is fun to learn beyond the initial barrier.
This video may be 4 years old, but I am going to make this tonight w/ a bunch of heirloom tomatoes I got a couple of days ago. How simple and how yummy! Perfect for a summer dinner.
This simple pomodoro sauce is the new hit of house! I served this other day to visiting relatives who loved it! Sauteed Shrimp on top makes this dish special for company. Chef, thanks for your simple instructions and laid back cooking style that makes us feel like we should give it a try.
Daddy Jack, thank you for posting this. I am watching this in 2020 and you have duplicated what my mom made many years ago. Sadly, my mom has passed away but I have always wanted to duplicate her sauce and this is the closest that I have ever seen. In the winter, she would use whole, peeled tomatoes from a can, without the juice and it looked just like your sauce. I love your channel and I really appreciate how you have helped me get through this pandemic cooking and sharing your recipes! Thank you so much!
Cooking heals and brings back great memories for me Paul. God Bless our Mothers, what I'd give to have one of my Mom's meals! Your Mom sounded like an awesome cook like mine, we were blessed! Jack Become a Member Of "Cooking With The Blues" www.patreon.com/CookingWithTheBlues
Wonderful recipe I wish I had the pleasure of meeting you, this recipe brings me back to my childhood. So glad we have your videos to watch. Wish you were still here. Love The Brooks.
I keep seeing people make Pomodoro with onions. I feel like that's a sin because pomodoro is made good by the quality of the olive oil/ tomatoes and will get overpowered by the onions. It also should only cook just long enough that the tomatoes become soft. It's crazy how less ingredients makes things taste better.This looks perfect
I have three grown sons who live all over the country. Because of the pandemic, we were not able to see them for over 5 months. I told them that we are going to meet at your restaurant when this nightmare is behind us and celebrate our family being back together. In the meantime, we bond over your videos! I email them and they all weigh in about each recipe. In fact, tomorrow night we are each making your braciola recipe and having a virtual dinner with my family! Thanks for sharing your love of cooking with us!
That sounds awesome Paul, sounds like you are all very close, you must be a great Dad. We get back the love we give, God Bless, Jack Become a Member Of "Cooking With The Blues" www.patreon.com/CookingWithTheBlues
I used to think that good sauces took 1/2 day to simmer. After watching Jack and a couple hours I now know that quick, fresh sauces are one of the simple pleasures of life. Thank you Jack!
My wife had me make this dish again. She said," this is probably the best meal you have ever cooked." The flavor is absolutely phenomonal. It's all in the fresh ingredients and its siplicity
bell's went off when you said 'roast these up, put them in a freezelock bag, and you can do this all winter long" I never thought of freezing roasted tomatoes I have to start tomorrow since it's peak tomato time! thanks again Chef Jack you have the greatest techniques and advice

Heinz tomatoe ketchup used to be in Salem Nj. They would ship the tomatoes on barges up the tidal creeks to the plant. Sandy loomy soil slightly acidic is key to a outstanding tomatoe. South Jersey soil has that soil. Excellent for asparagus and sweet corn also.
I can't figure out why I am just now finding your channel as the cooking vids are some of my go to's on here. Every meal I have seen you create is no nonsense, un-pretentious, and looks absolutely delicious! I too buy stuff off "the rack". I have found most veg., etc. is still very usable and as long as you use the item fairly quickly it can be a great cost reduction in your meal plans. Great looking easy dish chef. I will be serving this in the very near future! Thank you!
This is proper just made it and without a doubt best sauce I’ve ever had and I’ve been a spaghetti nut since birth. Thx 🙏🏼 throwing out my canned sauce. This is so simple and all the flavors come thru.
I made this last night, even though there are no explicit directions in the video. My roasting technique may need a little work since the tomato skins did not come off that easily. Most I put on the side, . I put the tomatoes in the pan with olive oil and began to cook. Then I tasted the remaining skins. They were so good that I ended up adding them back to the sauce. I hear people complain about tomato skin on their teeth, but I have never had that problem. And the flavor is so concentrated in the skin that I had to eat them. Turned out pretty good.
I thought the video showed it all zone, glad you got a handle on it and glad you utilized the skin, made it your way, Good Gravy, Jack Become a Member Of "Cooking With The Blues" patreon.com/cookingwiththeblues
I make this all the time, except I use over ripe plum tomatoes and some tomato paste. Add red wine, pecorino romano, cheese and sun dried tomatoes. I never put butter in the sauce since you have the olive oil . The fresh basil goes in toward the end of cooking so it retains it's color and flavor. The sauce is a little thicker and not watery so it sticks to the pasta . It comes out amazing..
