This episode brings me straight back to culinary school. When we learned how to make custards, mousses, and creams, our instructor mandated that we all had to whip cream and egg whites by hand at least once. We had mixers, but she insisted we do it by hand first to fully appreciate the process. Good times. 😅

Thanks for including the broken/failed case - it's actually helpful to see that "tedious" steps like tempering the eggs actually make a difference and are not "merely" traditional.

When I worked in a dessert bakery 30 years ago, we always used a medium/large whisk to incorporate the eggs into the chocolate, as well as folding in both the egg whites & whipped cream. It allowed the mix to remain airy and not get smooshed down like a spatula tended to do. Great show!

@markhamstra1083

True. And when Jacques writes something like “whisk the yolks together with the sugar” he means something much more vigorous and incorporating more air than does Jamie’s gently stirring with a whisk.

@raeperonneau4941

Great suggestion! Thank you.

One of the things I learned from a Japanese cookery channel is that you want to whip your egg whites at medium speed only in order to ensure a very finely textured foam that can withstand being mixed with heavier ingredients without becoming grainy. It will take substantially longer, but the result is a much more stable egg foam with a silky smooth texture. Also, a hand mixer is preferable to a stand mixer for that method. Julia Child really does a good job with classical French cuisine, as her recipe legitimately is the essential chocolate mousse. Whenever you begin adding dairy into chocolate mousse, it treads a bit too close to becoming a ganache, which is what happened to the recipe from Jacques Pepin. Particularly the first take which started to seize. The way that dairy fats and proteins interact with the chocolate leads to a denser, stiffer mousse that doesn't have the correct mouth feel, though the dairy does go a long way to tempering the bitterness of the bittersweet chocolate. Thomas Keller's recipe just isn't focused enough on the chocolate experience, which is why it loses out to Julia Child's recipe, even though it also has a silky and light mouthfeel. Sometimes there's no need to fix what isn't broken and her most classic of recipes really does the trick.

At 7:00, you almost single-handedly lifted that solid brick of a Kitchen Aide mixer --while it was running--keeping it level, and talking to camera. . . and you set it down like a baby?!! How strong ARE you, he who summons bowl from heavens?

One thing that people have to understand is that Julia Child's recipes are not her own. She studied and apprenticed in France and learned recipes that took hundreds of years to perfect. Her mission was to bring French cooking to American households in the language Americans understood, which was never done before. The recipes in her first book can be found in the French cooking bibles by Escoffier's 1903 Le Guide Culinaire and its follow-up by Saulnier in 1914 Le Répertoire de la Cuisine.

For many years I've used a blender on several cups of granulated sugar at a time, running the blender until the sugar is nearly like baby powder, then storing it (labeled as "10X Sugar") in a 1-quart canning jar. Sugar, as y'all should know, _KEEPS_ FOREVER, so the "Superfine Sugar" is always in my pantry, & ready for use.

Omg when I was young and inspired by all things French, I repeatedly attempted one of Julia’s mousse cakes ! it was “le gatesu victoire su chocolat mousseline”. I just loved saying it….. Through my attempts, everything possible eventually went wrong.

These cage matches are great! Thanks For this ! Love chocolate 🍫 🍫 🍫 🍫 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Regarding the help of kitchen gadgets like The Silver Fox (jump!), I think it makes a lot of sense to guard your longterm physical abilities to cook like you do. You could whip by hand, but you're making 3 chocolate mousses in one day. Machines are made for mechanical tasks that require human eyes and supervision. Good choices keep us healthier even when the food is not. Thanks for the video!

p.s.s. the cagematch episodes are fkkn so great!! i love the comparison. it really helps you get a feel of the difference between the chefs, their methods, and the way they think. (for instance, pepin has an old video up on crepes that is AWESOME. no waiting, instantly make. sometimes you need quick, you know? they were my first ones and they were so good, so easy.)

The weird one that seized....frost a cake with it ❤❤❤

Many, many years ago I did something REALLY weird - I got LAZY! (Actually, I was awaiting surgery for bilateral carpal tunnel decompression.) Instead of using 20-30 scooping motions with a spoon or spatula to mix whipped substances into other things, I switched to using a WIRE WHIP instead, and reduced my wrist motions to only 4 to 6 "twisting" motions. *IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!* (.Also, my carpal tunnel surgery went wonderfully. 👍🤗 ) *You each might give this technique a try sometime, as you might just find that you like it!*

I feel like Jacques' would be a fantastic *filling* mousse, something where the additional density would be a benefit because of the weight of stuff around it. Especially since at least one fail-state of it, like you produced, would probably still be fine layered between cake or something.

@DebatingWombat

Very good point. I always prefer the egg white based chocolate mousses to the whipped cream ones myself as well. The fluffiness of the egg whites really makes a massive difference in the eating experience, but I can totally see your point, if the mousse is more of an ingredient than a dish.

Wonderful as always. TIP: (If someone hasn't already mentioned this) you can make your own super fine sugar by putting regular sugar in a food processor and whizzing it up for a few seconds. Super fine sugar is recommended particularly when adding it to whipped egg whites because it dissolves faster and, thus, eliminates the graininess that sometimes happens with uncooked sugar mixed with egg whites.
