I don’t know that Chef realizes it; but, he is one of the best things that could ever happen for good mental health. I don’t care what he’s making, every time I see his videos it makes me happy.
I could say the same thing
I agree 100% and told him the same thing maybe 2 years ago when I was first dealing with depression. Chef makes me happy and always puts a smile on my face.
@Chester Dougherty it has the added bonus of learning dishes and cooking, which for me brings me out of a funk, and having other people enjoy what I've cooked is just the icing on the cake.
Agreed 🤗
Well said Rich! Chef helped so many of us through the pandemic while upping our game in the kitchen for good!
I have refrained from tuning into any News outlet since finding this channel. I have been pasted to THE CHEF close to 2 1/2 years and my life and (Blood pressure) has improved tremendously. I even plug him in through the truck radio which makes times in traffic a non-issue. Thank you CHEF!!!!!!!
I have enormous respect for a mother who can feed five children on a shoestring budget. She used what she had, and made it the best she could; that's a mom for you. Rest in Paradise to your mother.
My ex-husband said he didn't like spinach, when our children were small I wanted them to experience a variety of vegetable, so I use to remove the stems of spinach then add it to the lettuce for a salad. My ex-husband never knew there was spinach in his salad. I noticed when I didn't add the spinach, our children would say the salad wasn't as good.
This chef is like a sunshine, boosts up your energy 😊 Has a sweet way of explaining things ❤
Thank you 🙏❤️
Having a bad Monday? Just wait for Chef JP’s new video to drop. Works every time!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
So true! Chef instantly brightens my day and gives me ideas for dinner I'd forgotten about. Love this guy.
I thought you said, Having a bad memory? Had to do a double take🤣
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yep!
@@ChefJeanPierre True, you are far more than cooking channel! Thanks
Chef Jean Pierre is a joy to watch, listen to, and learn from. Thank you for your inspiring approach to the food, the kitchen, life…and yes to BUTTER !
I never took time to watch cooking videos until I discovered this channel. Chef's love of cooking really comes through in the videos and reminds me of all the times I spent with my grandmother when she was teaching me to cook. Chef Jean Pierre's videos are truly inspiring. Channels like this along with his web site are what make the Internet great.
Sups
So true. 👍
What a nice story about his mother. Mum’s are creative.
The chef keeps me in the kitchen. My wife loves it. Thanks chef, I’ve learned so much.
Good for you Ray, what a lucky wife 😉
of course, she loves it... she doesn't have to stay in the kitchen and cook
So, who keeps you in the bedroom 😂?
@@onesri6108 i am sure he gets time in bed in exchange. Well done and well deserved...
Ikr? It’s made cooking 🧑🍳 at home so enjoyable and successful as everybody loves it! I’m not sure about the Creamed Spinach but I’ll give it a go! 🤗
Your Mother did a phenomenal job! We love you Chef!
The stories about his mom are always so heart warming. Thanks chef for sharing with us!
Kudos to Chef's mom for making a delicious dish out of lettuce leaves that most people throw out, but I don't understand how saving a few centimes by not buying spinach helped her budget if she put this much cheese in it. 🤔🤔🤔
Chef Jean Pierre always makes me smile. That in itself is priceless, and I think it's safe to say that he provides so much value to others as well. I love you chef, thank you!!!
This man is more valuable to me than anyone. I am old i dont cook ,he makes me feel joy for life. God Bless this man
I grew up eating my grandmother's wilted lettuce made the way your mother made her creamed spinach my grandmother has long been gone, but, she was raised by her grandmother, who was from France. I have missed it so much but now I'm going to make it!!! Thank You Chef for bringing my grandmother and a piece of my childhood back to me.
Really! That is fascinating and so curious. I am intrigued by this lettuce creamed dish !!
That's so old-school I've got to love it. Why throw those outside lettuce leaves in the compost pile just because they are tough and ugly and no good for a salad. Do this!
E2
Thank you so much Chef Jean Pierre. I have kidney disease and I cannot eat spinach. Your story about your mother making creamed spinach with lettuce gives me a way to still enjoy something that tastes like creamed spinach without all the oxalic acid. Thank you kind sir.
Not only do you know Cooking, Chef, but you deliver your expertise with humor which makes your shows entertaining as well as fascinating to watch because one learns so much about cooking. Thank you for all you do!
Only just found Chef, Jean-Pierre, he has quickly become one of my favourites, not only is his style of cooking simple he is just an enjoyable fella to watch. I am in complete agreement with Rick L you cant help but smile when you watch his videos. 😁
Creamed spinach a favorite
There should be more people like Chef Jean Pierre in the world ! He is AMAZING ❤
If l could cook like Chef Jean, l would weigh 500 pounds! lol
z.7ý1ĺ
Chef Jean is so amazing and funny..i like the fact that he's not shy to share his poor childhood story❤
ChefJP, you were born to be a chef!
I wait for it every time...the chef is surprised the food is hot. Gotta love this guy. CJP you are the best. Thank you for teaching me so much. I cannot watch any one cooking when they dump all the peppers and ONION in to cook at the same time. You have taught me well. Thank you!!! Have a great day sir!!!
This guy is so lovable and entertaining, and his segments are so well shot and edited, he must be in the top 10 of KZhead rankings. As a total novice who is trying to learn how to cook better, I've only tried one recipe--the mushroom sauce--but it came out great just like he said it would. And, you can use on so many things.
Chef, the stories of your Mom are heartwarming. You should do a special show!! You could tell more about your life. Or answer viewer questions. People will watch!!!!
I made creamed dandelion once. I didn't tell my family it wasn't spinach. They loved it. I now grow a lot of dandelions in a patch of my garden.
Did you use the stem AND the flower?
@@DevantesMommy Just the leaves.
Thank you!
You know he’s a cook, because right around 914, while he’s stirring one pot, his other arm, naturally, and instinctively touches the other pan where the milk was. Now what this means is he’s used to cooking many dishes at once and when you do that, for so long, you naturally, and instinctively check the other pans to make sure they’re not burning or. at what stage they’re cooking. ❤❤
Jack, your sense of humor, along with the Chef's, is one of the many reasons we keep watching this refreshing channel. The timer you placed in the video while the Chef was blanching the spinach and answering him on screen when the Chef said you ate the two individual side dishes really made me laugh! Thank you, Chef JP. Of all of the restaurants I have worked in, it would have been an absolute JOY to be a part of your staff, even as your dishwasher! :-)
Chef every time I watch your show, I feel so happy. You shine.
Love the creamed lettuce story from your childhood! ❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just in case no one knows yet, but on Chef’s website in his recipes, there are options to choose if you need to double and sometimes triple a recipe. No more calculating and wondering if the recipe would work. You don’t even know what a relief that is, it makes me happy!
Chef, you put the fun in fundamental.
I've made this dish 3 times now, And currently as of writing this. Best damn creamed spinach i have ever had. Thanks Jean-Pierre!!!
Thank you for doing recipes I can eat on my diabetes plan. I haven't made creamed spinach in ages. My Dad creamed and buttered everything he cooked. He made creamed onions once and we stuck our noses up! Had never even tried them...lol. Dad went to the kitchen for something and by the time he got back the whole bowl was empty....yum. I'm 75 and love almost every vegetable including wild ones thanks to my dad, we didn't ever go hungry. He taught me to cook by watching him cooking for the family. Not so much on baking, but, biy could he cook. Neighbors would show him and my oldest sister how to do a recipe and next thing you know Dad was bringing home the ingredients to make what they showed him. Someone brought Dad some fancy canned brandied peaches...Dad tasted them and took them out to the dump! He knew that the tingly feel on his tongue meant they were spoiled. The neighbor rescued his peaches before we could dump them and clean his jars...lol. So funny when Dad tried to politely tell him they were spoiled.😮😁❤
I just told my husband that I wanted to make creamed spinach tonight and this just dropped :) thank you Chef!!!!
Funny, I said the same thing to my wife yesterday :)
It turned out so good that I'm making it again tonight 💖
JACK!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You always make these videos HILARIOUS!!!!! Love the Jean-Pierre transitions you use in between the scenes. Shame on you Chef for picking on poor little ole' Jack!!! 😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣 Can't get enough of the Chef and Jack show!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥💗💗💗💗😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much!!😊👍❤️
If there is a recipe from the Chef I haven't tied, I sure can't think of it. I always, always follow the recipes step by step (as I do with almost any new recipe). This one as well, and I can tell you it's just spectacular. It's always gratifying when you cook for loved ones and they so enjoy the food that there's little or nothing left over. Once again this recipe is no exception. I can't say enough. Just do it :)
Thanks for the input. I plan to make this on the 1st of the month got to get my cheeses. It looked good.
Do you have the measurements of the pan you use? It looks much smaller than the regular sized lasagna pan. I'm making this recipe in 2 days and likely need to purchase the proper sized vessel to bake this in. I only have large baking dishes !
My mom made creamed spinach with lots of garlic, too, Chef Jean-Pierre. She served it with eggs sunny-side-up. Absolutely delicious! And very healthy, too!
The potato ricer hack for squeezing the water out of spinach is fkn brilliant. I was a pro cook and Chef for years and I never saw that before. This man is non-stop wonderful on every level. God love him. And this community.
Biggest potato ricer I’ve ever seen! Chef sized!
I paused the video a couple minutes in to say this - holy smokes. I bought a potato ricer because of your recipe for mashed potatoes. I never thought of it being a good way to drain water from spinach. Amazing.
That is some really fancy creamed spinach! Bravo! I make a basic creamed spinach with frozen spinach. I cook it, add salt and butter and when it is warm I add half-n-half and grate a lil nutmeg. There isn't any cheese in mine but this is quick and easy for a weeknight steak dinner. Another version is frozen peas with butter, half-n-half, and nutmeg. I love the story about your mother! I grew up poor, too. There were four girls and we rarely ate out. I didn't realize my mother didn't know how to make a roux! She hated making gravy and would shake water and flour in a jar when she made stew. She hated lumpy gravy! There were some days she would make Welsh Rarebit using Campbell's cheese soup warmed up and poured over toast. We never went hungry. But the good thing about being poor is I grew up drinking milk, water, and hot or cold tea and I never acquired a taste for drinking soda. We had well water filtered through coal seams in the area so it was sweet and clean and pure (near Black Diamond, Washington state). Black Diamond was named for the coal seams.
I just found Chef in the last couple of weeks. I've watched every episode and he's taught me more than anyone about cooking. Thank you Chef!!
Creamed spinach is what my German Grandmother OMA made for us. Love it!!
I absolutely adore the story about your mom using lettuce and making creamed spinach 🤣 mom's are superheroes!
👍👍👍❤️
i also use nettles or silver beet without the ribs. Both tastes just like spinach.
You are great, Sir. Your style makes your dishes so much more interesting 😁👍 .... and the story of your mama cooking lettuce and feeding you as spinach ... 😂 I guess moms are the same world over 😊
Looks good! Creamed spinach is a wonderful side dish, but without nutmeg, it's just not complete. Freshly grated nutmeg is an absolute must!
I love the variety of cheese used in the cream spinach. Gives it much more depth and flavor. Awesome recipe Chef Jean-Pierre. It's truly fun cooking with you
How many packages of frozen spinach, I wonder?
@@lindylou9792, I believe a standard grocery store box of frozen spinach is 8oz, so two packages, or one 16oz package if that option is available.
@@lindylou9792 He said a pound of FRESH spinach. When cooked down, it looked about the size of a package of frozen spinach. You can always try one or two packages. If you really like frozen spinach, start with 2 packages.
👍👍👍😊
Flour or. Corntarch ?
Everything about this video is like Christmas morning. Treasures everywhere. The potato ricer trick would have taken me 100 years to figure out. The stories, techniques and the love in his presentation makes me so grateful. Thank you chef. May she rest in peace.
One of my favorite ways to eat spinach. Thank you, Chef Jean-Pierre, for sharing your recipe. And, thank you for sharing your ingenious technique with the ricer to quickly drain the water from spinach. Now, I can think of other ways to use a ricer. Like pressing roasted tomatoes in my ricer to separate the skins from the seeds to make sauce. Yay!
You are the boss of the creamed spinach sauce.
It would be so fun and such an honor to spend a day with the Chef. The stories, the laughs, the tricks would absolutely make my day. Yummy dish, thanks Chef!!!
No matter how many times I watch and learn, I always smile in the ending” Love the vibe! He’s just awesome!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Where have you been? Did 20 minutes on the treadmill, enjoying every minute watching video of Creamed Spinach. Too funny, thank you Jean Pierre.
I love how you put lemon and orange zest in so many dishes.
WOW!!!! That creamed spinach looks amazingly delish!!!! 💗💗💗
Chef Pierre is a joy to watch. Creamed Spinach was never on the Irish menu of my childhood, bet I could give Jean a run his money with Bacon and cabbage though. 😀
I love to watch you cook. I cook because my husband and I need to eat, not so much because I enjoy cooking. This dish makes me want to try cooking it. Thank you for inspiring me.
I love the story on your mom with the lettuce leaves, omg, bless her heart!
I love Chef Jean Pierre. He is an amazing cook & he makes me happy. I laugh when he moves his fingers in front of his face. Keep up the good work & don't stop making videos🤣
It's amazing how food brings back memories . The smell, taste etc. Everytime I smell roasted chilies, I think about my dad an his salsa. Mom's baking the same. Chef keep this going its always the best.
Merci chef de partager avec nous votre précieux savoir avec autant de générosité et de sympathie.votre maman doit être fière de vous et de votre réussite.Que D.vous accorde une longue vie en bonne santé pour que nous puissions profiter encore longtemps de vôtre art et de ces délicieux moments passés avec vous.vous êtes le meilleur !!bravo et merci pour tout ce que vous nous apprenez.
I love that Lettuce/Spinach story...nothing got past you, what a chef....I also see that your mother taught you well because she told you the truth, R.I.P
I made this last night for my friends, I tweaked one thing being the spicey_italian that i am :-) I added a mix of Italian Panko with garlic seasoning and blackening seasoning, and put a nice layer on the top then covered it with the extra cheese. I made it in the little serving ceramic bowls like you did and they looked at it and said "Oh no, this is too much, we can't eat all this!!...." Once they tasted it the practically licked the plates clean. They both said they loved the Crunch the panko on top made, they thought it was a great balance of creaminess and the texture of the crunch. Another Amazzzzzzzzzzzing dish, thank you so much for what you do.
Oooh...I loved the story about your dear mother's creamed 'spinach' dish...hehehe...wonderful!!! I bet escarole would make an excellent creamed 'spinach' dish too!!! Thank you so much, Chef Jean-Pierre! 💗💗💗
I always fall in love, over n over again with Chef Jean Pierre's presentation ....... no matter what he cooks! ❤
I worked with a chef in Norfolk VA. ... We Used the old lettuce leaves in our Soups ..AMAZING .. we didn't waste a thing ..
I just want to thank you Chef for making cooking fun and relaxed. I also want to encourage anyone who refused to eat spinach as a kid to try it again as an adult. I didn't know what I was missing for many years, but creamed spinach is my absolute favorite way of eating it. It's such a comfort food and great on these cold days.
I love this channel this Chef 👨🍳 is such a wonderful human and he makes me laugh and I’m smiling the whole time. Thank you for sharing Shalom 🕊
The best cream spinach I've ever seen. I LOVE cream spinach and I'm trying to make make this.
Love this man.....looked like a cup of Butter to me.....but he loves Butter like I do....so can't get too much..... never made this but will, love Spinach Quiche, etc spinach in lot of other things too.....this man knows how to cook.....his wife was lucky....to have a man that did all the cooking.....that is the kind of man I'm looking for lol.....Yes Chef Jean-Pierre makes me happy also when I watch him..... never seen a Chef as jolly as him.....there will never be another Chef Jean-Pierre.....like there will never be an ELVIS .....🙏😇😍 LOVE YA CHEF....2/13/23
👍👍👍😊❤️
Love the story of your lovely Mum with the lettuce leaves 🙏 just shows her imaginary flare for tasty cooking . Definitely going to cook this yummy God bless
I totally need to do this the way you do Chef!! Please do a Spanakopita Quiche for one of your next episodes...😋👌
Yes Chef, in case you needed to be told, you are a national treasure.
I love your recollections of your mama. My mum (in the UK) always made delicious food. We always gathered at her house on a Saturday to be delighted with her food. Even up until she was in her eighties.
Oh my gosh this looks AMAZING! Thank you for being the best teacher and giving us all of these beautiful lessons for free! On a separate note, would you ever consider giving us a tour of your kitchen and how you organize it? Also, what cookware you would recommend to buy first for someone who is purchasing upgrading kitchen tools. I’m sure there are many like myself who cannot afford to buy all the best all at once. Thank you again and God bless you and your crew
I can't tell enough people about the Chef. The recipes and techniques are SO user-friendly and approachable. And what a fun character!
Thank you 🙏
i just found you channel two days ago and I cannot stop watching. Please keep them coming. I am a 81 year old woman and sick with covid right now, but plan on getting well and make you recipes. Love your show and method of cooking Sandy Mays Moseley
No need to cook the spinach before, when you cook it anyway in the mix ! Great dish !!Thanks !!!
This video has EVERYTHING! Incredible creamed spinach and a GREAT STORY!!! Thank you, maestro! Wonderful and keep the stories coming!
Good afternoon Chef J-P,, we usually buy frozen creamed spinach!! Yes, I do. but it costs a fortune!! So now I will change my ways and do your recipe. I actually love spinach it compliments so many dishes especially steak. The frozen spinach I buy has small pieces of feta cheese mixed into the mixture. I have to admit it is lovely but the portions are very very small just enough to divide between 3 adults. Using your recipe you can serve more with a more generous portion, and it's home made so you know what you eat. Thank you for sharing and showing, your recipes are basic and so delicious. Many blessings.
This guy is better than butter I’ve already learned so much, I would die to have a chance to stand in his kitchen and learn things in real time. The lessons he gives are invaluable.
Good idea for a meatless meal esp for Lent. I like the sigh on the kitchen wall “God bless America”. God bless your mom too!Thanks Chef!
My favorite side with about anything. I use chef JP Alfredo cream sauce with shallot mushroom and and garlic paste and put them in small ramekins with shreaded swiss and parmesan on top. so comforting. Thank you for helping us expand our cooking horizons Chef JP.
Creamed spinach is one of my favorites 💯!! I can't wait to watch this after work today!!🤩🤩
Oh my goodness This must be the best cream spinach on earth all that butter and those cheeses holy moly! I need to go get spinach now. 😂 But I think I will also put in just a few of those outer lettuce leaves, because of your dear mother. ❤️
Chef Jean-Pierre you keep me smiling and loving your recipes. Saludos from Puerto Rico.
My mother always mixed bread crumbs with the cheese that she put on top, just for a bit of crunch, and I still do that too.
Agreed. The chef's videos get our week off to a good start
This recipe is now on my list! Squeezing liquid out of leaves makes so much sense! Merci, JP👍
You had me at "you can add bacon 🥓 " there is something wonderful about combining spinach, red onion and bacon! Now add the cheese and in your vernacular Chef J.P. "Mama Mia!" Loved the story about 5 kids and Mama...those details make it so nice to watch!
I can truly appreciate your mom making do with whatever she had to feed her family. I was a very thrifty mother of two. Some of my children’s favorite meals were made from very simple ingredients. All made from scratch. There was no such thing as splurging on ready made food.
I would have had trouble not eating that stuff right out of the pot and just forgetting about the oven altogether! 😍😋 Great Video!
You are an absolute pleasure to watch! I’ve made several of your dishes so far and they’ve all been a hit! You’re the first person I’ve ever seen who cuts the stems off of the spinach! I do too!!!! I also dislike them lol. Keep on cooking and bringing us fabulousness in the kitchen ❤️❤️ 🇫🇷
Thank you 🙏
I am a stem cutter too. Tough, nasty things.
My grandmom used to say cut off the stems if spinach as they spoil the taste of the dish when the stems are added
I really appreciate you and your love for cooking, food and… BUTTER! I made this recipe and my husband loved it! Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge of letting me know that, “a child could do it“! 😂
Still one of my favorite vegetables and ways to eat Spinach! Kids are not great Spinach enthusiasts but when we were kids, my mother didn't always make meat for dinner. Once in a while she would make Fried Potatoes with fabulously smoked slab bacon & onions, Eggs and Creamed Spinach as the vegetable. It was delicious and she made it like our wonderful Chef Jean-Pierre.
Love the story of your mother making cream spinach, out of the out side lettuce leaves. What a women, I bet it was delicious. I must say I have never heard of this dish. It’s a must try for me ✅ Thanks chef, and Jack for converting the oven temperature. 😉
he just said it was tasteless and you could only taste the cheese
@@pacoro84 Which is kinda the point - spinach doesn't have much taste by itself either 😉
Bravo on the delicious recipe Chef! Also really enjoying the cut scenes with Chefs motivational words Jack!
Some people put mushroom soup in it but it’s nothing like the way you just made it yours is spot on. ❤❤❤
A Chef and a Comedian, what’s not to love?
I made the Shepard's Pie and it was DELICIOUS!!!! I am going to make the Creamed Spinach dish later on this month. I like your for real, and cheerful attitude!!!! 😊
This looks so delicious! Can't wait to make it. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️😘💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️👶
Spinach and a white sauce is a match made in heaven. My personal favourite spin. The basic, add mince (pan cooked with beef bouillon),onions (soft of course), bacon and cheese. Serve with spaghetti. Trust me.
My first time viewing Chef Pierre and I absolutely love his energy. Stop because I love Spanish and now I got a new Chef and recipe. Thanks
