Please help to protect Ukrainian sky! Putins bombs kill civilians from the sky in their homes - every day 500 deaths, and even more injured. Bombs destroy hospitals on purpose. People with cancer and diabet are killed in even more terrible way - they do not have access to medicine. Bombs from the sky do not allow humanitarian cars deliver water, food to our people. Please ask your government to protect Ukrainian sky! Every hour costs lives.

I'd be lying if I said I've cooked everything in this series, but I have cooked at least one thing from all of them and use techniques from parts of all the recipes in my regular cooking. The way he explains things that sound so complex and simplifies them down is unmatched. Thank you for not only great recipes but great teaching, we use ingredient x for this effect. You want this heat because of x, y, z but if you aren't careful this bad thing can happen. The plating techniques are very, very helpful!

To avoid burnt, crusty whites when frying eggs sunny side up, Jacques Pepin suggests you cook them on very low heat, add a little water to create steam, and cover the pan. After about five minutes, the result is a beautiful, thin white film over the yolks and unbelievably smooth and tasty whites.

Canned soups are a great base, but they tend to run high in sodium and carbs. I love how each recipe utilized fresh veg and protein to help balance macros. Would love to see you try cooking or baking with powdered pantry goods (protein powder, bouillon, or even drink mixes) since they also have great milage for their serving sizes and shelf life!
