As someone old enough to be your grandmother, all I can say is you are the most adorable, likable, and down to earth "chef" on the internet. I bet Julia Child would have loved you. Win or lose with your recipes, you always make me smile. Great job btw on the Baked Alaska.

Don’t worry about slicing the cake. As Julia said “When you’re alone in the kitchen, who’s to know?”
I love how Jamie knows so little about food and cooking other than the things he's made (which, to be fair, is a lot of things at this point!) so he has absolutely no preconceptions. Casually choses to make a genoise, no idea it's one of the hardest cakes to get right. Name just sounds cool. Awesome.

ProTip (from a professional baker)... Tip 1: Chocolate chunks, chips an other small sized chocolate has additives to help them keep their shapes. Those additives prevent the chocolate from melting smoothly. You'll get much better results from melting a regular bar. You can hack it up with a large knife, the pieces don't need to be identical in size. Tip 2: Sit your baking pan on top of the parchement paper and use a Sharpie marker to trace the shape. Makes it *much* easier to cut them to fit in the bottom of your baking dish. (In the bakery, we obviously have pre-cut ones, but for home use, I stack multiple sheets and fold them over each other so I can cut out 12+ at a time. Then I whip them out when I need them.

Great tips! I know this is an old comment, but the chocolate chip additives are rarely talked about. I remember getting *_sooo_* frustrated that I couldn't get chocolate chips to melt properly or effectively enough, when I was much younger and starting out on a new recipe. I tried the recipe so many times and bought many different packages because I thought I was just buying poor quality chips. It seriously ended in pure frustration and tears. I thought I was going crazy and just incapable of understanding some simple concept. Then, several months later, someone told me about the additives in chocolate... I felt so stupid and my mind was shattered by that insane frustration hahah. Interestingly, most people I know never knew that chocolate chips were specifically created in that manner.

Hi! I'm so sorry for this unsolicited advice but i love your show and I hope to make your life easier! Here goes: 1. When you're freezing ice cream in a mold, line the mold with plastic wrap so that you can really easily slide the ice cream out. 2. When you need a circle of parchment paper for a cake, fold the paper in quarters, flip the cake pan over, place the corner of the folded parchment directly in the center of the pan (so that the parchment square covers 1/4 of the circle) and then trace the curve of the circle. Then cut it around that curve (while folded), unfold, and you'll have a circle that fits your pan perfectly :D Congrats on 100k subscribers!! And thank you for making this show!!
I learn how to make in high school in home economics class back in 1969. Then I made it at home. My family loved it so much I had to make it at least once per week. I have not made it in over 40 years. After seeing you make it. I want to make it again.
I remember this from cruise ship dinners in the 1990s. Waiters used to bring around 10-15 of those at the end of the late seated dinner and do the flaming bit with the lights turned down. On occasion, they would put orange glow-sticks in the sides of the Baked Alaska for added effect.

I found this channel when it was at like 28k. I'm so glad you've gotten more attention. Your channel highlights that anyone can tackle these intimidating dishes if they just. keep. trying. It's incredibly relateable, you are funny and charming, and it NEVER feels like the viewer is being spoken down to or that you are an egotist professional (like so many other channels). Please continue to represent the cooking journey of lamenting mistakes and relishing in successes.

Jamie, you made, to perfection, THE BEST celebratory dessert in Julia Child's vast repertoire of desserts! Well done on your accomplishment of reaching 100K and on this recipe as well!👏
When you are adding a dry ingredient into a liquid it won't clump up an float around if you add the liquid to the dry a little bit at a time stirring after each addition. At first it will be a paste but will completely combine together. Just don't add the liquid in to fast.
Hey Jaime! You totally deserve that 100K subscribers. I now try a new JC recipe every week and you were the inspiration for that! Today is French onion soup in my household. Maybe we will try the flaming baked Alaska sometime. You certainly make it look fun!

Great job!! Once you get used to making génoise, you'll probably find that you use it a lot. For the génoise, a trick La Julia came up with after MtAoFC was published, is to fold all the flour into the eggs, then thoroughly whisk a large spoonful of the batter into the cooled, melted butter, and then fold the butter batter into the rest of the batter. The technique keeps you from overworking the eggs. For what it's worth, I stopped folding in the flour years ago. I take the big whisk from the mixer and use a gentle up-and-down motion to incorporate the flour.
Hey Jamie! That dessert came out great! Congrats again on reaching 100k. I just wanted to mention a trick that might help you next time you want to unmold your ice cream, you could line the bowl with plastic wrap. The ice cream will come right off the mold and then you just have to peel the plastic wrap. Anyway, please keep going with the videos as they literally make my day.

Just a tip for your meringue, I know its hard to go wrong with the Silver Fox it is one of the best mixers ever. But if you add about 3/4 tsp of cream of tarter to your ten egg white mix along with the other ingredients, you will get a super meringue that sits up extraordinary and stays in tact. Also while the egg whites need to be room temp, you should put your silver mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes prior to mixing, if your bowl is nice and cold your meringue also does better. Also another tip for those egg yolks, use them the same day to make homemade pudding, it's delightful and you can snack on it all week. Don't let the egg yolks sit around too long in the fridge, once eggs are out of the shell they don't have much time. You can also use them to make a chiffon cake. Where angle food cakes use primarily egg whites, chiffon cake wants the egg yolks. Nothing tastier than a yellow chiffon cake and chocolate frosting!

And helps the rest of us when we mess up and not give up. I'm sure it helps people learning to cook themselves and make it not so scary. Professionals make everything look so easy and when we try it and mess up we end up feel really dumb. It shows it can be done and we dont havve to be a chef to cook.

Just discovered your channel and you quickly earned my sub! I quite enjoy your content, you present it in a fun, down-to-earth manner. Protip for cutting circles: get a piece of paper larger than your pan. fold it in half, then quarters, then fold it into a tight cone. guesstimate the centre of your pan and snip off the excess. Boom, perfect pan circle.
I was 13 when I made my 1st Baked Alaska - I learned to cook watching Julia on tv 💗 - your doing fine
Jamie, you might want to watch a video on how to make parchment circles. Jacques Pepin has a good one. It involves folding your parchment into a lot of long skinny triangles and then cutting their bases off to fit your pan.
