Jack, I've watched many of your videos, and enjoyed them thoroughly. My biggest takeaway, one that's helped me quite with my own cooking, is that measurements don't have to be exact. Maybe they do for something delicate, but for most dishes, it seems close is good. Adjust to taste. The change in perspective has allowed me to shift from an "every ingredient must be measured exactly as the recipe says" perspective to a more "let's just have fun with it" one. And I am having more fun with cooking. I'm also not panicking as much when I don't have a particular ingredient.
11 mil mins, 10000 subscribers, how many vids. that's all great. how many regular at home chefs you've helped turn out some great meals is the number you should be proud of the most jack. thanks for all your hard work, and bobs too. can't see myself ever venturing thru your neck of the woods but if I do I'll be sure to stop and and say hello, and thank you.
Jack your videos are down to earth, you are legit, you tell it how it is ... I'm thinking your followers / viewers would benefit from a series on putting together the various sauces for dishes. Keep on! :) Keeping on
I love to cook at home , it's always been a huge passion of mine and daddy Jack's videos have inspired me so much that all these dishes I thought were difficult he has shown me just how simple they really are using basic ingredients and only a single or couple pans . I love this guy!!
I just want you to know that I used this video to make my first ever cioppino this last weekend; did just a couple of things differently due to availability, substituted as closely as I could... This was by far the BEST result I have ever had from straying from my own cooking and letting someone else show me how to make something. Out of the park with the flavors, the huge amount we thought we would have left over to share with neighbors disappeared in less than an hour:) Another thing... you can really see the love in your cooking, and it spreads out from the screen and infects me as a viewer, which I am sure had a hell of a lot to do with how good my re-creation was:) Thank you, glad I subbed, cant wait for this weekend... just have to choose which of your videos I should try next.
Great recipe and love your videos. Here is a tip I use for the leeks. After you chop them, put them in a bowl filled with cold water and stir them a bit. All the sand will fall to the bottom. Super easy!!
Hearing how many minutes watched is awesome. You should ask your subscribers to hit the "Like" button if they like the video. Just point to it and tell them it only takes a second. I'm sure it will help your account. Nice cooking Jack, you really enjoy your job I can tell. Bob nice production too. Hope to visit y'all one day. Steve in SC.
i have watched at least 10 of your videos!!! i love it!!! i never knew how to make heavy cream in pastas and soups. so it gave me some really good ideas and i love that your willing to give out your recipes like that.. i admire you!!!
I was just talking with a friend about Cioppino. Was saying I hadn't made one in many years. This recipe is quite different than mine. Will have to give it a go. Thank you!
Absolutely love Cioppino! I’ll be making some in the next few days. I’m just waiting for my seafood guy to call me when he gets some Calamari and crab legs. It’s going to be great. Serving it with sourdough garlic bread. Awesome! I can’t wait! TFS, Jack!
If I was the camera man, I would have tripped the server to get to that plate! 😅 I would love to have went to Chapplins and met Jack and enjoyed his great food!
Boy oh boy, you never fail to surprise me with such incredible recipes. I have cooked many of ur recipes and they are restaurant worthy. Thanks for sharing your talents, music and amazing food. Thumbs up my friend. Never used leeks but I'm going to try. Especially for soups.
Awesome brother i love it and i love how you cheffed all over and i am a Italian food freak and thing pasta and Garlic and the way you throw that garlic in the pan is awesome brother. I love it and since i found your videos i have been telling everyone how i love it so i tell them go check him out along with the style of cooking i just love it brother making it happen at Daddy Jacks in New London, all my Ancestors are from England all Blue Bloods with money and power, one of my Ancestors was the Mayor of London, England then the First Mayor of the very first Colony in the New World up there where your from brother loll
Hey, Sir a tip for ya. Here in Europe, we chop our leek first than we transfer it to a colander and we rinse it that way. No matter how well you rinse your leek, because of its structure the dirt is still going to be trapped there.
Hey Jack!! Im officially addicted to your cooking videos. It seems you have worked and cooked all over the country. I live in Houston, Texas and would like a recommendation for a great restaurant that you would recommend?
It looks good. The one thing Jack did that grossed me out (all of the usual stuff, I'm used to by now) was putting all of the clam juice into the pot, when clams always leave behind sand and grit.
You obviously have never had a fresh off the plant Southern Jersey Tomatoe. Cannot be beat and I'd love to bring you some Jack. After all Heinz used to be right down the road in Salem NJ. They barged tomotes up the canals from the fields. We have sandy loomy slightly acidic soil tomatoes and sugar corn thrives in. Just Google Jersey Tomatoes and Corn.
Anyone surprised he never burns his garlic?? I usually throw mine in towards the end or have it on the heat alone for maybe a minutes max maybe it's the amount he adds as I am usually cooking for myself not multiple meals worths
I was thinking this exactly, he threw that garlic in the stock pot and let it go on high heat while he washed the leeks. I was thinking "wow that garlic must be burning"
That's some good looking "chumpino"... I make it your way, but I leave out the celery and red pepper. I add celery sa,t and old bay. Best garlic bread ever.
sand in leeks. that's like in Crocodile Dundee II when he drops the egg on the floor gives it to the cop and the FBI guy kicks the cop to guard the door, and he starts eating the fried egg. lol
