the way jamie references his wife is really funny, like he cant mention her by name or title because if he did she would also be trapped in the Kitchen Realm by julia and forced to cook

Happy New Year, Jaime! I truly enjoyed watching you in 2023. My best friend of 37 years discovered you last Fall too. She passed away of cancer on 12/24/23 and your videos were one of her great joys when recovering from medical treatments. Thank you for bringing her joy! Looking forward to watching you in 2024!

The same thing happened to my wife of 38 years on 12/23/20. Unfortunately I discovered Jamie's videos 8 months after she died, but the way Jamie figures things out in the kitchen is exactly like her approach. (Except for sneaking up on the clams, which I maintain was the greatest kitchen innovation of 2023.)

IT MAY seem sad to some but I totally agree that these vlogs (by real people of course) somehow just fit the ticket when it comes to a pleasant distraction for anyone suffering illness or other difficulties. Jamie is such a natural entertainer with unique humour that I am sure that he gave your friend many moments of JOY. bless you and so very sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss, all of you.

I knew Marcella Hazan well and cooked with her in both her home kitchen and mine. Decades after she wrote her seminal cookbook, she'd be thrilled to see you making - and loving - her recipes.

It is probable that our lovely JAMIE does not come from my part of Canada but I think close to my original part based on his humour and lingo. He struggles with those French accents of Julia's cook book dishes but no matter; he HAS had GUSTO to undertake to cook so many of her specialties...TRES BIEN and BRAVO to Jamie et Bonne Année 2024 tout le monde!

@@cornishcoves9399 He briefly mentioned in one of his videos where yukon gold potatoes were mentioned (30 min steak dinner maybe?) that he's from where they originate! They apparently originated in Guelph, Ontario where he was born. Also, it's nice to see some fellow Canadian viewers!!

The warmest, nicest, funniest cooking show out there! And I love all the recipes you make 👍

The time you snuck up on the oysters. 😂 My favorite moment of 2023. Keep up the great work!

The death of Charlotte pan was the year's gutting setback. Also, no 2023 Yuletide gingerbread house was a disappointment. The previous years' houses of ginger-flavoured bread were alway highlights. 2024's wish is its return. Still, you're my favourite enthusiast cooking programme. Who else greets the fire brigade screaming by and the Hoover upstairs? Do yourself a favour and buy a countertop warming drawer or a bain-marie. For all the hard work you do, you deserve to eat a hot meal at then end. Happy New Year.

That Home Alone house traumatized him 😂😂😂

Not sure why, when French onion soup got number one, I cried. It’s so emblematic of the heart of French cooking and especially the French cooking Julia brought us. Watching you over the years on your cooking journey to becoming an AMAZING cook it just touched me that this journey, so far, brought you to French onion soup as your number one for the year. It says everything about your relationship with cooking and food. Thank you for a year of very hard work and amazing dishes! 😌✨

Jamie, each year you are kicking more ass! Your skill level has increased each year and you have tried more difficult recipes than the majority of your viewers. Keep up the fantastic work!

Would give anything to go to the French Laundry! Watching you take on TK ‘s recipes made me want to go even more! It has been a pleasure watching you. Your joy in completing recipes, and tasting the result is also a treat. I’m 83 and have eaten in some great restaurants here in USA, and overseas, recently ate butter poached lobster at a restaurant, which was raw in the middle. Chefs need to make sure they cook this properly. I have made this dish, which is pretty easy, but to see you do the difficult ones, and admit the difficulty is so refreshing! You are a delight to watch! Looking forward to the coming year from you. Good luck.

It’s so wild that I started watching you as a comedy/cooking fails show. I had totally forgotten that. Now, you’re a charming funny really good chef. I learn a lot and am inspired to try new things and up my game!

Happy New Year Jamie! Please continue the "all the countries in the world" series.

Nice one ! Approved by a large majority of 1 here.

Whoa! The world beyond the other side of the counter! I feel like Columbus sailing across the kitchen and discovering the Glass Table.

Greetings! My entire family watches and adores your chanel. We laugh, we cringe, we cry and we celebrate every single moment with you. We love the evolution and growth throughout the years. So it seemed appropriate to share our appreciation on this annual ranking video. Thank you for every moment of joy!

I love these ranking shows as it brings back all the memories throughout the year. I hope you realise how far you have progressed as a chef. Your skill level is phenomenal from when you first started and the recipes you are doing are more demanding and exacting than what the majority of home cooks could or would undertake, so KUDOS to you Jaime. Here's to another great year of watching you cook. Your videos are always at the top of my must see notifications.You're my favorite channel.

You're a gem, Jamie. Thank you for all your hard work bringing us your content. Happy New Year, all the best to you and your family and friends.

Discovered your channel 5 or 6 weeks ago, and have been hilariously impressed that you even attempt solo efforts at what a staff of chefs put together in michelin starred restaurants. You give bachelors trying to prepare a great date meal hope, and when it goes to hell they can both sit and watch your attempt for entertainment while they try to make a reservation at the French Laundry. And yes, the comments, this one not included, are pretty helpful.

That Lobster dish of TK's almost looked like it transported you to another level of cooking. A veritable taste bud tap dance of joy!!!

I have introduced your show to so many of my clients and you bring us so much joy 🤩 you cook like a real person and that’s what I love. It’s chaotic, and messy, and sometimes a hit or miss... C’est la vie! Here’s To 2024 🍾🥂

You’re genuinely one of my favourite KZread channels and I follow a lot. I love how it feels like hanging out with a friend whilst they cook.

Recently discovered your channel and it's become one of my absolute favorites. You're like... us. A fearless home cook who knows a lot (but not everything). Who makes mistakes, but makes great food along the way, and strives to improve each year. Thanks for cooking and sharing your journey.

The lobster dish deserved to win simply because of how close you got an insanely complex dish to a restaurant dish - what an achievement. I’m sure you will cook the onion soup many many times in your life, and perhaps never attempt the TK one again, but you did it once and it looked magnificent

I started watching your videos a few years ago! I was one of those people yelling no no no no when you scraped the vanilla seeds into the sink. Now I’m learning from you! I absolutely love your show! I watch them at night when it’s quiet and the house is asleep.❤

I've been watching your channel and picking up old episodes. I'm learning things and laughing out loud at lease once per episode. Great work!

Right? I laugh so hard, I cry and can't see the video. He is hilarious!

Hey Jamie, A fellow Canadian here. I just found your channel and I have been absolutely loving it. You're so authentic and comical.

What a real journey this past year has been on the channel. Thanks to Jaimie for keeping up and working his darndest to keep going and reaching towards new personal heights in skill and professionalism in cooking and video making. Sure there are little mishaps but that is part of the story. He is someone we can always root for, cause we can see the heart in what he does. I really am excited to see what new paths he goes on this year. He's got ideas, that is certain. This 2024 chapter will be a good one as Jaimie keeps building his skills and content. So great to see some of these dishes again too. The big wins might have been unimaginable a couple years ago. They are all possible now and Jaimie should be proud. Totally agree on the top dishes from the more simple French Onion to the Fractal of a Recipe that was Thomas Keller's Lobster Dish. May Jaimie keep challenging himself and succeeding. We'll be here every step of the way.

The bowl moving on its own was such an amazing on camera moment haha! I am looking forward to what you cook up for 2024 Jamie thank you for the amazing videos. I have been trying to cook more on my own too, thank you for the inspiration!

Love your work Jamie! Your uncanny sense of humor and well produced videos, along with a myriad of bloopers makes for a human and relaxing experience. Looking forward to more fun in 2024!

I love the supremely good editing, thoughtful photography (who else shows the thing cooking in the oven with time lapse???), the sound track, the showmanship, drama and the story arc in every show. Not to mention the compelling subject matter of delicious and intriguing recipes. Your various shows have helped me through a stressful year in 2023. Thanks so much and keep it up! Happy 2024!!!!

I am madly in love with you and your show. I’m 84 and haven’t laughed so much since I was twelve. Thank you so very very much.

I started watching your videos in 2020 lockdown. I have seen every one of them. You have been a relief in challenging times. And I am very grateful for that. I wish you the best for 2024.

You are funny as hell but also a good cook. You got skills ❤ so thanks for entertaining and inspiring us. Happy New Year!

I think it is amazing that your Beef Bourguignon Cage Match has almost half a million views. I think it is one of your top achievements.

Hi Jamie, 20:14 you pronounced it correctly just right there. Just be careful with the ending, as if you pronounce the final s like in "buzz", indeed you say the word "f*ck". you need to end the final s like in "mess" or "Porgy and Bess". 21:00 this Pithiviers looked perfect. In France, we celebrate Epiphany with this cake and it is known more commonly as "Galette des rois" (cake of the kings, referrering to the 3 wise men), which is sold in every boulangerie at this period. Pithiviers is the real name of the cake, but very few people know it under this name. I am very curious of your number 2, as I have never heard of the cinnamon flan before. I need to watch that episode, that I missed. And these italian pasta looked all delicious ! Happy new year !

Jamie, no doubt about it. You are the most entertaining chef on KZread. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mess I miss or an absolute hit. I am joy along with my husband every second of you. I have two of her books and yet to have cooked anything from them, shame on me! Always always always nothing but you enjoy laughter and enjoyment watching you a glorious 2024 to you, your wife and staff. B, bravo bravo and we want🍾🥂🫶🏻👩🏻‍🦳 a fellow Canadian in California.

I made Marcella’s tomato sauce the same week you put out the video. It was FIRE. I ate most of it out of the pot with my homemade focaccia.

I love that you do these summaries, it brings back happy memories (and reminds me that I want to make that cinnamon toast flan).

my favorite part of this year was watching you improve your pasta making show-by-show. Here's to a great new year of leveling up!

Marcella's tomato sauce is amazing! I made it after watching your video. The butter is like the secret weapon.

the spinning bowl had me agape! your channel is so great in SOOOOO many ways! Thank you

Chicken Pot Pie is difficult to get the filling just right. The filling needs to be practically a paste before it’s baked. I’ve had that same issue before too smh

Hi Jamie - I truly LOVE your channel - thank you so much for your informative AND funny videos and please keep going 👍👍😘

My favorite cooking KZread channel by miles. Here's to another delicious year, Jamie. Order up!

Hahahaha! “Wow, what the hell is that,” something you always want to hear at your dinner party! 😂😂😂

My goodness this is SO MUCH FUN! I just giggled and nodded and laughed right out loud through almost the whole thing. Thanks Jamie, you're not just a fun home chef, and you're not just the best KZreadr I have ever seen. This is some of the best entertainment I have ever seen. Whatever awards there are for this, you should win them.

It must be immensely satisfying to be able to look back on such a body of work accomplished in one year. I, on the other hand, have done fuck all. Still, I cannot begrudge you, who have worked hard, your achievements. I look forward to being continually inspired by you in the new year ❤

What a journey watching you from the earliest videos to today, you see the improvement with every mistake. I bake with my nieces and its a valuable life lesson I teach them often with baking that the first time you do recipe it may not work out as desired but we learn along the way. Now I sit back and let them go to town with my pantry food as they explore new recipes.

What a champ! I couldn’t believe you made aspic a second time! I look forward to your ratings show each year. What an improvement you’ve made since your first year. Keep it up, you’ll be giving TK a run for his money!

This 2024 we’re bringing paranormal investigators into the home of Jaimie, a home cook with a hit KZread series. Have all his attempts to recreate Julia Child’s best recipes just succeeded in being delicious? Or have they created a rift in time and space through which Julia herself has traveled into his very own kitchen? Tune in next week to see full bodied apparitions, twirling bowls, wine glasses filling by themselves, and SO MUCH MORE! (For real though thanks for another awesome year of awesome videos and congrats on all your progress Jaimie!)

Love hearing you reflect on your work like this. I joined your journey in 2023 and I'm excited for your future projects and progress!

Great wrap up of last year. I can say that I watched 99% of them and enjoyed every one. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this year. Happy New Year!

I saw an old Katharine Hepburn movie and in the movie she mentioned they should have made an aspic instead of a heavy roast dinner. The reason why was because it was the heat of the summer and it was before air conditioning.

I found your channel this year and it is one of the best most bingable (is that a word?) channels out there. P.S It's wild how growing up eating something so frequently can make you immune to the oddness of it. I grew up eating beef tongue tacos and using beef tongue for stew, it's completely normal to me and I love the flavor of it with cilantro, onions, and lime. I'm making myself hungry typing this comment :D

Is the cooking from each country series over? I liked those.

you are definitely one of my favorite new subscriptions from 2023! looking forward to another year for sure ❤

I think what also helps with TK’s recipes is that he explains thoroughly each step so Jaime has a better idea of what he’s trying to achieve as he goes along

The spinning bowl with Julia's cheerful voice in the background gets me lol!

This year you reminded me how much I loved cooking out of Marcella Hazan's 2 Essentials cookbooks, so I bought the updated, combined version for myself this Christmas. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm and honesty! Love your show!

Love everything you do! Happy New Year!🎉❤

Thank you for a great year of recipes, techniques, successes, and, yes, even (aspic?! 🤢) failures, Jaime. Happy New Year to you and your family. I look forward to more entertaining and educational videos from you in 2024!

I'm so impressed, you basically tried 50+ new recipes this year which is probably 50 more than I could ever imagine for myself. You should definitely be proud of yourself!

Thanks for providing this channel. I have learned so much. Regarding the spinning bowl and crashing camera, I think your kitchen is haunted by Julia.

Wow. Last year felt so long that I forgot half of these recipes even though I watched them all. Thanks for all that you do. Keep shining bright. Have a Happy New Year.

Thanks for another great year. Also great sweater!

I never leave your videos until the very very end! I love them, plus the weird spinning bowl still creeps me out! Keep up the fun and mayhem!!!!!

You have become my all-time favorite cooking show! 2023 was great, and I'm looking forward to 2024. Well done!

ME TOO!

Coming to this one a bit late, but I 100% think it's fair for the onion soup to rank as long as any future redos get the same rights. And from the tone of you talking about what you did wrong with some recipes in the lower tiers, I believe future redos will be a thing. (I actually really like those episodes. It gives you a growth arc. Everybody loves a growth arc.)

You have given me so much confidence and to have faith in my own cooking.

I really enjoy your cooking journey and while I don't cook often, I still feel like I've learned a lot watching your show. Keep it up and good work!

Thank you Jamie for sharing all your adventures with us. I've been cooking for about 43 years. I am Puerto Rican but I do not only cook our dishes, I love to cook different food from all around the World, that being said, I am afraid to cook seafood but you have inspired me to try. Not looking forward to killing a lobster but... I want to make the recipes. I'll let you know how it turned out. God bless you and I wish you much success in 2024.

first full year of watching u Jamie and I'm so so proud of ur progress in the kitchen! it's a wonderful experience to watch u grow and be more confident in the kitchen. have a fantastic 2024! 💖

This is pure joy. I discovered a love/lust for cooking and decided to go to school two years ago (now in my last year) i find your videos not only entertaining but a helpful learning tool. Thank you

Another great show, Jamie...and what a year! My brother and I started cooking together when we were kids back in the '70s and many of your experiences remind me of ours. Our dad was a huge Julia fan and loved to cook so he was our inspiration. He worked long hours but still managed to get some amazing food on the table.

I have loved watching your videos this past year! As a person who has a tendency to give up when things dont go my way, seeing you push through your mistakes (and accept them when you cant figure out what to do) has helped me become a more patient with myself. I didnt realize how much it's affected my approach to things like cooking, sewing, crafting, etc. until I was trying to make falafel with my friend. My blender broke, the chickpeas weren't soft enough, etc etc. But I didn't want to give up! My friend actually told me she was in awe of me not giving up - which is a first for me! So thank you for being so open about your mistakes and adventures! Years to more delicious food this year ☺️

Haunted bowl with the duck pate made me laugh

I wait for this ranking every year. I'd also love to see an improvement series, especially since you've been re-doing some of your old attempts. Just you critiquing your old techniques and showing how you've improved over them. That'd be excellent.

I just want to tell you that you inspired me to get back at it in the kitchen and it no longer feels like a chore. My husband also thanks you I believe he is much happier with home cooked meals opposed to take out 😂Happy New Year i really love your content.

Jamie: So here's looking forward to another year of great cooking! Kristy: OK. So---guess it's another year of living in....this room. The room service is improving right along, though....

Thumbs up for the adorable cardigan.

just bringing back so many memories, giggles, laughs, and shout-outs! Keep going in 2024 and wouldn't mind some more 'Modern' recipes... pushing boundaries as you already know and lived throughout this series!

Great videos last year and waiting for great videos for the year 2024. Love the goof ups and the honestly how things taste. Happy New Year you two.

The sneaking up on them!

The french onion soup is so delicious. I use beef bone broth which makes it even better and feels so nourishing I just crave it. To think it's only broth, onion, butter, day old bread and some leftover cheese. It costs almost nothing to make and it's so luxurious

Happy New Year!! Can't wait to see what you will be making in 2024!!

I haven't been able to watch in a while, but this video helped me catch up to what you've been working on. It was wonderful to see how much you've refined your skills. Your comment about the carbonara had me wincing and smiling in equal measures just remembering the uproar in the comments. Happy New Year to you and yours, Jamie! 🥂🎉 But for the love of all that is palatable.....for our sake, (and yours; 'cause I want to gag watching you eat it) please...NO MORE ASPIC or tongues....of any kind!!!! ❤

Jaime and chef format is so great youre a genius really for coming up with it. If you were a *boring* professional, I'd still watch those.

A coworker brought in a bag of pearl onions that she didn't use over the holidays and asked if anyone could use them. Because I had recently watched the Beef bourguignon cage match episode I knew exactly what I would use them for. This weekend I made the best beef stew of my life. I dirtied every pan in the kitchen but my husband claims the result was well worth the disaster and the kids went back for thirds. 25 years ago I made a burnt mess from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and never thought I would try it again. Thanks for showing me it can be done.

I would love for you to one day write a cookbook, detailing how you can navigate mastering the art of french cooking.

Jaime, I am truly looking forward to another year in the kitchen with you! I have watched cooking shows for years and your videos are an absolute delight! The best to you and yours in the coming year.

I love your videos. This is how cooking really workers. Messy. Fraught with peril, and just plain ol' off days.

i can't wait to see what you are making for us in 2024!

i’m so proud of you and your growth 🥺❤️ keep thriving!

Please dont stop making cook book recipes!!! The world wouldnt see such things if people like you didn't do such a great work recreating them! TK was honestly my personal favourite, maybe because he was the first chef who wasnt Julia. He is special now (but even I, a watcher, got tired once watching one of his recipe videos because there were just way too many steps for a video (nothing bad about TK but the steps (more like little things) just kept coming and coming and coming and in the end I was like, what the hell? And you clearly werent done even with all that. In the end I could tell I felt some of your pain lol and was just as incredulous about his instructions lmao. But good vid nonetheless, it made for a great experience (but maybe not for you lol). I would honestly like to know more how you felt about cooking that thing (one of his first 3 recipes, couldn't tell what it was now). Lol

Happy New Year!!!

Hi Jamie, I watch every video as soon as I can after they come out! At times you make me laugh and at others I want to cry! But you always teach me to never give up! I love that! I just watched where you placed the lobster above the onion soup and had to comment… To me this doesn’t seem fair because lobster would always win! And I absolutely love beyond belief onion soup! Lobster is decadent cooked just about any way, shape or form! Onion soup is the absolute best way to have onions and I put onions in/on just about everything savory! So for me when I look at the level of difficulty and time needed to make these 2 dishes onion soup wins 1st place. But that is coming from someone that would never bother with making the lobster dish because there are so many easier ways to have lobster that taste delicious! Haha! Thanks for all you give us! Happy 2024!!

'"Do you remember this one?" Why yes, Yes I do. And I loved every second. Thank you for all of it![

You make me laugh so hard, I'm crying and can't see the video!! Well done, sir!!

Still here bud, learning with Jamie is what I call our time together on your vids thank you

I have been going down a youtube cooking channel rabbit whole recently but hands down you are my favourite by far! So many little things I love about your videos from the humour to the fact you admit to mistakes and keep on going, but my favourite just might be that the fact that you always say thank you the ceiling for your bowls, sieves and whatnots. Makes me smile every time and be proud to be Canadian! I look forward to watching more videos, thank you very much!
