IV not been gifted plates ? What’s a chateau owner got to do to be gifted plates from Stephanie Jarvis? Is it a roof biased gifting ?
😂 oh Dan! You poor thing!
Stephanie started with a handmade table, grill, and cooking utensils for you. Now that you have a roof, watch out. I see a 20 price dinner set in your future. ❤
Dan, if you come and visit us, you will be allowed to use them! That said, knowing your skills, you probably already reproduced exact copies in your own Kiln!
Nah, Dan's probably only just laying the concrete base for his kiln. He's playing for time because he knows that the minute his china pantry is finished, I'll give him a ton of hand wash only porcelain and crystal @@HowToRenovateAChateau
😂😂
this channel might be better than its creators realize, even much better.
I agree.
@@srcarranza me too........there is something very eccentric and humorous. especially Philipe.....very dry German!......all my friends are German........I am British!
Just a clarification for viewers: the salt MUST be coarse salt, NOT fine salt (that will ruin it!) The fish will not taste salty if done correct, but very clean and natural. ❤
Coarse salt, sure, but why did he add the water? I make this recipe with chicken, but no water.
As a German it is so funny, when Philip speaks German out of the blue. My brain always needs a moment to process that I just heard German in the middle of an English sentence 🤣 Love it
Same with the Italian!
Love it, too😂
Yea and Phillip's pronouncing of german words ist very good, italian and french also. Ich liebe Euren vlog, sehr nette, kreative und fleißige Familie🥰Thank you.
The first crepe tends to not work because most people a)dont heat the pan long enough before putting the batter in and b) most people don’t cook crepes or pancakes long enough. You need to cook the first side long enough that the batter is completely dry and bubbles form and pop, then it’s ready to turn over and should turn with ease.
Thanks for the tip!
The first crêpe is the dog crêpe. If you have a dog, it's theirs, and they cast a spell on it! 😁
I actually love the first crepe. It's motivation for cooking the next twenty. 😅
@@daisy9910 😂
Whether it's pancakes or crepes, the first one is always garbage in this house too.
Love your chateau, the clean look gets me.simple but elegant
Best interior of all, it is not cluttered. Well done
It makes me nervous when things are so clean & efficient ...I guess that's the 'bohemian' in me. I like a 'lived-in' house with lots of interesting people coming & going (not noisy), a sense of history, mystery, hidden nooks & crannies, and evidence of generations who have lived before. It adds interest & layers when there are antiques from Aunt Fanny who had to sell the gold mines in the Great Depression to make ends meet ...but couldn't bear to part with choice pieces of art & furniture ..also things picked up from travels domestic & abroad (especially Asian/Chinese, Thai & Indonesian/Balinese art & antiques)...those kinds of things. But Anna is a designer, so I forgive her etiquette of clean perfection. Besides I adore her artistic sense & her wallpaper ...and they are such a charming couple ...it makes up for their perfection. @@SchalkP100
A real cook doesn't fear fire, he gleefully employs it when it's needed for a culinary masterpiece. Great performances in the kitchen!
This was a nice Sunday afternoon vlog. It made me smile to enjoy as you prepare to host your friends. Anna, you have no idea as to how fortunate you are to have a chef in your kitchen. The dinner must have been divine!
Wow, the big old chestnut tree just looked stunning :)
Great tip
The first crepe is called the chefs crepe, you get to eat it when you make the rest.
c'est vrai!
the first crêpe has to be dedicated to the "grêpe-god" - then all the others will come out great 😋
It is true that the first crepe is not as pretty as the others - I just figured it was because I melted the butter in that pan and hence, the first crepe is “fried”… I have the same issue with my Pizzelle maker🤦♀️
It’s the rules…🤷🏼♀️
How I love that the subtitles say "...and the plan is to make crap, a Normandy style crepe suzette"
🤣
YES! Followed by .. "And the first crap is never good. I don't know why .." 😹😹😹
The first pancake is like that. ❤
@@susanvaughan4210 it starts with crap before it becomes crepe lol
😂🤣🙃
The OG of the chateauverse were the Strawbridges and their television show which evolved into Chateau DIY. This encouraged chateaux owners to create online vlogs as a income source as DIY doesn’t pay for appearing on it. Anna and Phillip have shown the most savvy by diversifying their revenue streams.
That was fun.The fresh cut branches with flowers was so pretty.I live in Wisconsin and it is snowing.Mother nature doesn't want to let go of winter yet.
The flowers are gorgeous! ❤
Me too. Wisconsin. Ugh. The flowers are gorgeous! I have weather envy!
Our crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and forsythia have all bloomed in Oklahoma for several weeks & some are already fading in Oklahoma.... but my Irises are suffering from a sudden cold snap.
The tulips on the kitchen island are gorgeous!
✨Yard home cuisine… beautifully done✨ Anna - that tile wall gets lovelier and lovelier.
Please never do the crêpe flambée under the kitchen hood. I am the daughter of a fireman and I know this is a very good way to start a fire if the flames go a bit too high and reach the hood. Well happy this time nothing bad happens, but something important to know ;-)
As well as a fire extinguisher in one's kitchen ...there are also large fireproof cloths that can be thrown over kitchen/stove top fires to douse them immediately ...starves them of oxygen.
My thought exactly! Do it over a sink FAR away from any ventilation =)
Coucou Philip! My wife Mireille was shocked that you put the oysters in the fridge. Apparently you should not do this. However she love the part " I left it hoping my wife would take care of it, but she did not" and also "I do not want to sleep on the sofa". She made me watch twice this part. There must be a message ?
Thanks for the tip!
They’re fine in the fridge. They need air though.
Oysters may be kept in the less cool part of the fridge, in a bowl covered with a cloth. They need to breathe, therefore no plastic bag or so
All your hard work in the garden...and then the guests arrived in full darkness 😂
I think they're spending the night there
🤣🤣🤣
I LOVED the bit of Mozart playing as Stephanie and Phillip arrived in the dark. Somehow it evoked a wistful time several centuries in the past when chatelaines must have travelled to each other's houses for a party in the evening ...arriving in their carriages.
Very nice visit, and even better you got Phillip to weed around the plants, plus cook part of the dinner. Keep him working Anna, he’s much less trouble that way 😂😂❤❤
😉😂🤣
Yes the sisterhood wins
Such fun, the crepe looked delicious, the flowers, all of it was special!🌺🌼
the transition to the squarespace ad is very smooth haha. the pears look great! so are the beautiful flowers and the grounds of the chateau. As always, a great episode
I love French cooking. I think Butter is in every dish. Your crepes looked amazing! The girls are getting so tall, they grow up too fast. Loved this video so much!!
wow the flowers look amazing
Such pretty blossoms❤
Honestly, Anna has such a good eye for decor.
Oh my goodness, you two! Your humor is so fun! Thank you for the videos!
If you guys want to try another dessert from Normandy (my dad used to make that for us as kids and I LOVED it but only discovered when I was an adult that it was a Normandy thing x)), look up "Bourdelot" (I think it's also called Bourdélot in Jersey). It's really simple and so good. You basically peal an apple, remove the core, put it on a square of puff pastry. Then you put some sugar and butter in the core/on top, you can also add Calvados (and sometimes we also made it with a square of dark chocolate). You close the puff pastry around the apple, put some egg yolk to make the pastry golden and put it in the oven. You can eat it as is or with some cream or ice-cream.
That sounds delicious
*peel You can also make it with pears and it's called Douillon.
Oh ,I remember making this..never realised it was from Normandy.its lovely 😊
You're so calm...I panic as I prepare for guests. Great hosts🤗
I was in Hon Fleur last week, and it is a lovely place you live in.
Ironically 'meaty' is the correct term for the oysters, in other words full bodied. absolutely no slime yukky word for food, oyster liquor is the term.
Dorade is usually called sea bream in English.
Yummy😂❤
I don't know how I found this channel, but it's one of my favorites.
glad you found us! :)
It's great isn't it?! (It's really my fave 🤫😉)
Such gracious hosts.
So many thanks for sharing, This was just fun. And the food looks so good.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a little tip for the pancakes. I always try the heat of the pan with a little of the batter to save a hole pancake from being lost from the batch. ☺️
😂🥰The kitchen antics were superb, hand's down my favorite bit to watch. It's nice seeing fresh recipe's that are local favorites.
Oh dear - hands and recipes, no apostrophes please unless possessive.
Kate dear, did you ever hear "It's the sentiment that counts"??? @@katehobbs2008
Great recipies! Thank you. You are wonderful hosts. It's all in the details.
Hi guys, loved your video. The first crepe or pancake must have minimal oil. Add a splash and wipe 95% off. That’s why the second one is always better because most people add too much oil to the first and by the time you make the second it’s perfect temperature and lightly oiled pan. Hope that helps. Your channels not only help chateau owners but also many renovation channels like ours in France
Each time you said crepe, autotexting said CRAP🤣
Because she was saying crap not crepe.
EXACTLY!!@@trinabarrow
The e in crepe in Spanish sounds like the a in apex. But in French, I think the e sounds more like the e in peck. yt is not subtle enough...
What a feast. Everything sounded delicious. Cannot wait to see what the four of you have planned for the 2 days. You are the best hosts.❤
That was such an awesome episode! Thank you!
It looks so peaceful over there. I'd die to have a chateau like that! ❤ Y'all did such a good job!
That was fun! Always entertaining!
I've got a Patricia Wells recipe for fish baked like that. The first time I made it I was afraid it would be too salty but it was perfectiin!
I love, love, love that you're showing us how to cook what you're making. Thanks!
That tree is lovely. The flowers and your arrangement are so pretty. ❤
That was a lot of fun to watch!
Flames galore! The food looked great Love that the pears were not boring. The fish looked great. Glad that the four of you got together once more.
Loved seeing the culinary and floral prep for your visitors. Everything looked wonderful!
I always chuckle when the closed captioning doesn't recognize either of your accents and says things like "" I'm serving crap for desert "" and "" the first crap is never good "" instead of crepes,,,,,Just adds another level of humor to your already cheeky vid's....Philip does Anna know your wearing her apron again ? Cheers Cherryl from Canada
What a lovely, lovely evening! The food looked delicious and the crepes as well. I enjoy making them fairly often and consider the first crepe as my “practice” one. Glad you all enjoyed the evening. ❤
My first venture into You Tube Chateau channels was you guys! Then you led me to watching Chateau Diaries as well and Stephanie led me to the Pethericks and a few others. But you and Steph I ALWAYS watch. This was a fun episode.
Same with me ...I never miss HTRAC or CD. I try to catch some of the others, Michael P. and Chateau Roseries... I also watch some Italian renovating & homestead channels ...but of the chateau varieties these two are my favorite!
So funny that Ana is so impressed by Philippe flambing the crêpes!! Not very British right? You are adorable! Thank you for sharing that lovely dinner with us! ❤
Wow, spring is in bloom there! Lovely.
Wow what an huge undertaking!
I love the music you select for your video's, now I have to watch Pride and Prejudice. Great video, as always.
Coming from Stephanie's channel, I love the comments you are making Philip! 😂 may watch also your channel from now on!
E' stato divertente vederti preparare il pesce in crosta sale, avendo ricordi di questo piatto al compleanno cinquantesimo di mio marito qui in Italia. Molto, molto buono! Maria
Who knew that Phillip could cook. That was impressive.
Anna, for your crêpes, you need a Crépière (a flat fry pan) and a flat palette (Wooden spoon) to turn them. Philipp might know :) And for the first crêpe, your pan must be very very hot (that's the secret).
That's it, invite people over so you can get the house work done 😊
😉😂🤣
I think, that there should be no competition between the chateauyoutubers. We live you all, everyone has his own personality and topics.
But the cream rises to the top on all occasions.
It's childish to compare people ...especially when we can see they are such good friends ...I'm so glad they all have a mutual community of support and regard for one another. There are more than a few chatelaines who 'rise to the top' ...they're all a bit of 'Bob-the-Builder', Julia Child, Martha Stewart ...or the equivalent from each country.
I'm a new subscriber, I love your Channel. You are both so talented and hard working. P.s. Philip,you should look into voice work on Documentaries. Cheers from over the Pond!
Thanks for subbing!
Anna & Philip, you were great hosts. I'm sure your lovely guests enjoyed stayng in your beautiful chateau. The food looked yummy.
That pear dish looked great!❤
Well done on the choice of your Philip Anna!! He can do everything and is amusing as well, you compliment each other so perfectly. And of course you are so talented in so many ways. 💐💙💖
Hilarious freeze frame - i hope the sofa is comfy!
Another way to cook fish with a salt crust is to whisk up egg whites as if you were going to make a meringue, but adding salt instead of the sugar. You don't waste as much salt plus, it's easier to remove from the fish once it's cooked.
BRILLIANT!! ; )
Love watching you two cook in the lovely, renovated kitchen! Not only does it look fantastic, but it functions so much better!
Thanks for the video!
This was the first time we discovered this channel. The music you chose is simply beautiful. Cannot wait to follow you.
Welcome on board :)
Great episode! I feel inspired to make that meal with my husband.
Very impressive meal!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Philip had a big smile on his face while he was burning the crepes! 😆🤣
It’s really easy to turn the crepes with your fingers! Just wait till they’re ready to turn, loosen the edges with a spatula then pick it up gently and turn over! 💖
First crepe is the taste test, it goes to the chef as thanks for their hard work.
What a fun time!🎉🍷
Wishing you would put something soft in your kitchen to absorb the echo - maybe a carpet underneath the table? Window treatments? The renovations look fantastic
The first crêpe is always wonky because it's the DOG CRÊPE ! (Swedish Pancakes are essentially crêpes). All dogs know this! And tbh, they're really yummy bc you've just buttered the pan which you need to do only initially). That's one of my favorite ways to prepare a really fresh and big fish for a crowd! It's SO easy and the salt doesn't make it salty, just perfectly cooked and juicy. I squeeze alot of lemon juice on the salt so it forms a hard crust in the oven, but that does remove the skin, so if you want the skin intact, Philip's way is better. I just spiked my glass of Crémant de Loire with Calvados and its All Your Fault! Nice to see you guys connect again. I follow both your channels and think you're all great, creative people working really hard on your projects and vlogs, all with your own perspectives, talents and personalities. Refreshing to see Stephanie and Philip come to dinner at another Chateau wearing sweaters too (that's not the image we're used to seeing actually ;). I loved seeing more of your grounds!
Bravo! a little advice: don't cut daffodils pull them from the base you'll feel it "pop" when it comes loose.
I agree, my first crepes never work out either, it is a workd wide phenomen. 😅😅
I want to know where all of the first crepes and pancakes go!
The food looked amazing and it’s always fun to play with fire in the kitchen as long as nothing is harmed. I thought Philip couldn’t do dairy, but I must be wrong because you served butter on everything. The fish looked amazing also, there’s no way around the carnage! LOL!
Butter is all fat and doesn’t contain lactose, thankfully!
People with food allergies to dairy don't eat butter.@@Alleyporter Thankfully, I must have been wrong and Philip can eat dairy or they would have cooked with olive oil instead. He hasn't really talked about it on the channel, so it's just something you notice here and there.
@@CarmenShenk Actually, lactose intolerant people can eat butter as it only has trace amounts, eg 227 gms butter has .07gms lactose. Google it.
Such interesting life you have! Cant wait to make some crepes here in Pennsylvania 🎉❤
It's not often that a genius us multi skilled in many areas. Normally their skills are concentrated in or on one specific thing. To have a skilled electrician and woodworker, with excellent building and gardening skills also be a Michelin star chef, isn't something that happens. To then also be a chiseled Marlboro man with a sensitive and caring personality is something that only happens once every millennium. We'll done Phillip...
and you havn't seen me break dancing yet!
@@HowToRenovateAChateauMaybe, just maybe, you should consult with your girls 👯 (and Anna 💃 and Benoit😂) before treating us to your Dad dancing 🕺🤣🤣
You know every time you guys do this Anna has to take him down a peg or two ....just so he doesn't float away ...and become useless to everyone😉☺🤪
Although not utubers the strawbridges brought chateau ownership to the British public and paid for all their renovations through tv programmes and weddings
Anna and Phillip without doubt have created the most inspiring rooms with impeccable good taste on every occasion. What they both do is consistently elegant, outstanding and charming. The wallpapers are utterly glorious - love the passionfruit ones. And I think Phillip's sense of humour is so much fun. He is indeed blessed that he chose Anna as his life partner.
Just watching your vid about your recent trip to Paris with your daughter. As per I really enjoyed it. Yes I would also like to hear how you acquired your menagerie of pets. This commenting thing is new to me. I have tried to comment in the past but couldn’t for some reason. I did send you an email sometime ago because I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your videos. Keep up the good work.
I think you meant to comment on Amanda and Lincoln’s channel?
Anna it's the even temperature that makes the difference when making pancakes and crepes. Wait a bit longer before cooking them.
Nice vlog Anna and Phillip on preparations inside and out! The end with the flambeed crepes was eye opening and scary, but a fun ending to your day!
You guys are hilarious 😂!
The first crepe is always pants because the pan isn’t hot enough - but chef’s perks, so Yay!
HI, Don't really know what's going on(bit behind the times ) but it was great. I love the way Anna makes CRAPS for desert. Same last video too? Not sure, but it's funny❤❤
When you said Crepe the first time it sounded a bit like crap(silent e) to my ear and I thought Wow, I could be your chef if that was your food goal - but alas - it appears you have much finer dinners in mind. Made me laugh.
I heard it as well 😊
That looked delicious and so much fun!
You might find a friend with a mulcher you can attach to your lawn mower. It would eat up those hedge trimmings nicely!
Less grass cuttings more wild flowers ❤😊😊
Such a great video! ❤
Perfect Ending! 😂
😂 I agree Anna, in South Africa we have a similar crepe called pannekoek. En yes the first 1 is always a flop. We call it the tester.
When I lived in Minnesota there was a restaurant named 'Pannkoeken' ...not sure I spelled it right ...but they had every pancake and crepe and all the toppings every thought of under the sun!
Hi just binge watch quite a few episodes as I had got behind I became a Great Grandmother in January & Live just got in the way brilliant work brilliant editing thank you so much for your video's 🤗👍🤗👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🍰☕🌹🌹🌹🌹🍰☕ Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
A very enjoyable vlog. Thanks you so much !
"That's probably a recipe for Philipp, because there are no precise measurements" That must have *hurt* 😞😞😞
Love the pears ❤ …im a gardener and am itching to come and do your garden…lots of pollinators planting and winter interest … how about I come for a week …we could barter …I get a nice change of scenery and plant up some beds ( the Acer bed needs to be in proportion to the garden 🤔😉😉…a few more Acers perhaps…I’ll bring my wild flowers seeds …🤔🌿🥀🌾🎋🌿🥀🌾🎋…LOOK see I have taste even with my emojis 😉😉😂
sounds great! write us at htrac.hello@gmail.com :)
