How a 5-Star London Hotel Prepares the Most Iconic Afternoon Tea Service - Clocking In 

Could be just for the cameras. Eric Ripert also seems very nice but he's absolutely ruthless off camera.

I heard that usually pastry part of kitchens are much much more relaxed and chill than the hot food/meal section.

@@rodneydsouza2454 In general, yes. Probably because its less hot, there's less pressure.

When the cameras are turned off, the French chef became français.

I’ve had my fair share shouty sweary head chefs & they didn’t expect me to shout back telling them to F off! There’s no need for it at all. xXx

As a Bartender 25+ years, someone said to my son 1 day in the Nightclub “your Mom has an easy job”. Son replied, “No, she has a very difficult job that she has perfected to make it look easy”. BOOM!!! Thanks, Son!!

@@julieludwig8927 what an amazing response from your son. That is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Did anyoen see your nametag and ask if they wanted more?

@Siris Rangabhasm did once have a VIP table that kept calling me for additional alcoholic refills during a women's health award ceremony of sorts

I worked there as well

Except they’re making sandwich’s with bread from a bag.. how are they not baking it fresh in house?

@@adventuredoods4699 Cause they're a pastry shop not a bread bakery. None of their other stuff are yeast risen; how does it make sense to buy equipment for rising bread if 95% of your menu does not involve yeast-risen bread?

He’s smiling as in French that means giving blow jobs 😂

I thought he was saying that to convince himself 😅😂

Book it and go, I’m sure it’ll be unforgettable

May your dream come true.

price is good for tea service in twinnings tea house and shangrila hotels.

Baking is a science .

Yes, a light hand is needed for pastry.

Not only he's French, but there's also some iconic French patisserie like Paris-Brest

Yeh I was gonna say 😂

I was thinking the exact same thing

I totally agree, but I think Brits have had a long history of loving French food and hiring French chefs for the better hotels and households (Escoffier really made his name in London). They aren't known for the best home grown cuisine (I disagree with that) - but some of the Indian food I had in London rivalled the best I ever had in India. It's wanting to feed the British market that started Port wine, the best houses in Bordeaux, and God knows how many other wines. That's why I want to move to London (someday....)

🤣

Go to the Langham, it's even better.

Ok, now I wanna go 😅

​@@RE-nv4weno it isn't

Around a thousand years ago Imam Muhammad Al Ghazali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya (this temporal world) which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life.

I can't wait to go the next time I visit London! I went to the Ritz and it was a pretty magical experience. I'm wondering how Claridge's will compare.

It's often the things that look the simplest that are the most difficult. Especially in pastry, you only see the end product and not the technique, consistency, and level of skill required to make it.

@@JussiViitanen565 so true! That's what makes it so magical

It's therapeutic to watch passionate professionals plying their trades. Wish we could impart that passion and pride to melanin kids here in the United States.

That sounds wonderful! 🥰

Tea at the Savoy also lovely…Tiffany windows, Gershwin played on the grand piano, …a precious memory

Are you a millionaire?

Yeah, for real. I could really use a loan, buddy.

@@telswood one night stay in hotel is around 800 British pound with food..Yeah it is expensive but not as outrageous as some other places in London..

@@silverfox733 over £5500 to stay in a room in a hotel for a week in a mediocre city is expensive in anyone's language. I'm not sure why you're pretending otherwise 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@@MrJungle123 Mediocre is a bit harsh but the cost is diabolical, I'd agree.

Just not much good at anything else.

@@akitas8165 brits aint either

I'm going so far as to say the best at pastry.

@@akitas8165 Thanks, multi-talented akitas 🙂

@@Uncle-Ruckus. then why are you watching videos of British food in a British restaurant

Thank you for watching!

I like your description, meditative. I often find solace in my kitchen, cooking or baking my favorite dishes.

I’m from Yorkshire and exclaimed “No, no jam first - I do it the Cornish way!” I love Cornwall.

@@kattytatty7266 tastes exactly the same either way you only believe it makes a difference because you've been told it does.

​@@urmumsbapsinterestingly, there is a fair bit of research showing that the order in which you season food impacts the final taste. I can easily see how jam first could have a distinctive taste over cream first

most foreigner keep accent in any country

@@samfish6938 nah they actually don’t lol it’s mostly French who keep their hard ugly accent

One's accent only changes if one changes language before puberty. After puberty it requires either an excellent ear and talent for mimicry or special training to acquire the accent of the country one moves to. You can have a family move to another country and the children over 13 or so never lose their native accent while the children under the age of puberty at the time of relocation sound like natives of the adopted country. It's to do with how the brain acquires language before puberty but must be taught language after puberty.

​@@FigaroHey This is not accurate. I speak from personal experience.

Australians and NZers have jam first then cream

Obviously a Devon Style man - I agree with him. Practically the only thing I disagreed with my Mother about - she was Cornwall Style all the way.

Tell us you’re from Devon without saying you’re from Devon… 😂

Literally doesn't make a single difference which goes on first and you're a moron if you think it does

You know it’s only 100 pounds right? That’s really not that much.

@@Amanda-ee8oh The tea might be. But the flights and hotel? Appropriate attire? Maybe one day, though.

@@Amanda-ee8ohyeah, £100 for an afternoon tea is insane.

Haha, same
