Well, Chef . . . I hardly know what to say here! You made this recipe your own, but it is practically the same way I learned this one from my Grandmother! Thank you for the mention - and yes I am not only having so much fun editing your recipes for the new book, but I am also learning a LOT!! So many nice comments from your subscribers here . . . and very nice to know that so many people also love eggplant. Keep cooking. Keep teaching. Keep us all having fun in the kitchen. So grateful!! 😋

So, truth be told, I did not know that I was inspiring a video when I had this conversation with CJP; as for the recipe editing project for the cookbook, all great fun - whether you call it batting clean-up or wordsmithing or whatever!

They told me I had that too. Turns out I was just a male with inadequate activity and bored by conventional education. If he can focus on what interests him he's not dysfunctional. He's just coursing with testosterone, likely highly intelligent, and bored. Read The Trouble With Testosterone by Robert Zapolsky.

One time is luck. Every time is skill. You are skilled chef!

50 years ago when I lived in New Orleans we would stuff the eggplant with shrimp and crabmeat. My in-laws were Cajun and the best cooks on earth! I'mmagonna make some stuffed eggplant this week-end! Have a great day...

Hey Chef, lotta people say never trust a skinny chef, but you aren’t exactly portly! However, I do believe you are one of my favorite all-time chefs to watch! Always love your recipes, and thank you for being a great American!

The Chef makes everything look good and easy. He is The Best.

I cannot wait for the new book to come out. Will definitely be pre-ordering it when it becomes available.

Chef, I can’t stress enough how much I look forward to your latest video. I have been recommending you ( and Jack ) to every one I know for years and the best compliment to you from one of them was “ thanks to this brilliant chef, I no longer fear going into my kitchen and trying new things “ From all of us, God bless you.🙏❤️

Thank you chef JP especially for educating people! I have been to several restaurants around the world and I can tell you that I have a system that tells me how to turn restaurants into family. I make my reservation, order a drink and appetizer, ask to speak to the chef, watch the orders come out of the kitchen and if the chef comes out and speaks to me with pride and experience I'll then give my order. This will ultimately cause me to return several times per week with new customers and they bring in new customers. I'm so loyal to those restaurants and then I feel like friends or family members are feeding me. Chef JP, you seem to be one of those wonderful chefs! Therefore, I'm loyal to your channel and refer your videos out to other people and especially chefs.

This looks amazing! I grow my own eggplant because I love making it so many ways: grilled, caponata, parmiagiano, as lasagna, dip, in tomato sauce over spaghetti, tossed with other veggies in the frying pan, but my favorite is grilled ratatouille. I have never stuffed it, and I do love sausage recipes... Can not wait to try it! 😋😋😋 Learned a few tricks watching here how to prepare it, too. 👍 I recall the first time eating ratatouille in a nice restaurant... it came with my protein choice. I raved about how delicious it was and asked the servers about it. I raved+ so much about it they brought chef (whom was French) out and I complimented him. To this day, it was THE BEST vegetable dish I have ever eaten in a restaurant... and that was in the early 70's. Memorable!

If you grow your own and even make caponata 😋😋 ... then you should try and make Pesto di Melanzane. So delicious 😉

If anyone ever invents a time machine, one thing definitely on my list would be to go back to when you had your restaurant so I could make a reservation, and I would book a flight from the UK to visit and experience your amazing food. But this channel is the next best thing and it's fantastic, the only difference is I have to cook the food myself and it brings me great joy and great knowledge doing it. I learn new things every week watching, thank you 🙏

I just have to say this mans energy is truly inspirational, literally makes me want to be a better person to those around me and uplift them. Thanks Jean

Funny thing: I’ve noticed other cooking channels “learning” from Chef too! Emphasizing the importance of “Mise en place” and when to season and how to cook garlic: add at the END and only until “fragrant,” then add stock! Thanks for making all of us better!

Ask your friend if she has tried grilled ratatouille. It's my favorite! There are recipes online.

Eggplant needs all the help it can get. This dish looks delicious.

Perfect timing! I’m on a stuffed veggies binge and your recipe fits into my lineup.

Dear Chef, Your mastery of eggplant dishes is truly remarkable. While eggplant can be a challenging ingredient to make universally appealing, your recipes effortlessly rise above this difficulty. Thanks to your expertise, I have been converted from an eggplant skeptic to a true admirer of this versatile vegetable. Your numerous recipes have not only piqued my interest but also consistently impressed me. Thank you for broadening my culinary taste buds. Bravo

Mom loves eggplant. So you know im saving this one

Heading out to the supermarket to get my ingredients, love eggplant. Thank you so much chef!💙

I know good when I see it. That’s so good I can smell it through my laptop.

Wow, I can't wait for the new book!

I hate to cook. Seriously! I do not enjoy the process. But! But I love to cook with you, Chef! I started to follow you when I made my first tiramisu cake. I like your approach and way how you explain the process. I love your voice and jokes. I feel very comfortable to repeat your recipes and listen your voice on KZread. And magic happened: I never failed with cooking/baking when I had you in my phone screen. Thank you! You are the magician!

My wife will LOVE this!

Ohhhh my gosh! I so wish I had that in front of me right now! I absolutely LOVE eggplant! As always, it looks delicious!

Stuffed Aubergines are the bomb! Joe from Germany

Chef & Jack, Thank you so much❤ I loved every minute of this amazing vid packed with what is wild & wonderful, including the yummy recipe, soon-to-be cookbook, Chef's stories and Jack's humour that had me laughing out loud like a loon at midnight❣️ And this is what I watch to relax before bed???🤣 PS. 2nd time I viewed & saved this so I can make it this weekend😋

Grandmothers recipes are the best 😊

Yummy, I love eggplant. I'm going to have to try this recipe. It looks absolutely delicious. 😊

JEAN Pierre simply the Best out there

This looks like the perfect recipe! Thank you, Chef! Can't wait to prepare! You made it look fun!

11:48 Great recipe. Sort of reminds me of my mum's stuffed eggplant. I created a vegetarian version with your hints on how to prepare the eggplants and the stuffing. It had eggplants, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes and rosemary from the garden. I also put onion, garlic, celery, pumpkin and mushrooms. It was delicious. 😋

Oh boy the burnt tongue flashbacks were hilarious!!

Like I need another cookbook! I tell you what I will be first in line for yours!!!!!

God Bless Chef JP 😘

Got some sneaky brinjals in the fridge, was gonna make some good ol' baba ghanoush but this video has changed my mind. You are a legend Chef JP, best cooking channel ever.

60 years soon. Well, that proves eating good food and drinking red wine make one young. I am going to make this next week.

Thanks chef, I love this dish and will definitely try it with your recipe. I also need another soothing Q&A video from you, please 🙏🥺

Eggplants are fantastic vessels, you can do this with all sorts of pasta sauces too! Very cool recipe Chef, thank you!

Thats so delicious tasty stuffed eggplant nutritious yummy. 😛😋❤😊🤩😀😁

Even I've been semivegeterian for 30 years now. And studied in Perho culinary school. But love all Your videos, You have tought me so much more 🙏🤗

Thank you Chef JP for this wonderful recipe. I really look forward to when eggplant season arrives in the garden. This will be a spectacular recipe to share with the family.

can barely wait for the cookbook

O wow what timing, we have an abundance of eggplant in our garden atm. Stuffed eggplant for dinner it is. Please let us know when your book is being released chef. Ty

Chef JP, you put the Chef in Chef!

My Italian American grandmother made this dish for me growing up. I loved it. It was one of my favorite things to eat. The only difference was she didn’t make a pepper couldi but but I now plan on doing that that looks like it would be amazing!!! Thank you!!!

I belly-laughed at the "not burning myself" clips! You 2 make the best team. Cannot wait for your recipe book! Thank you for another great video!

Jack, did you get Chef a compost bin versus just a normal plastic bag bin? Chef JP you have a great opportunity to educate us viewers with the importance of composting with our fruits, vegetables, eggshells, coffee grounds, and bones. One can create new soil within months. Just another idea for the show.

Another great recipe. I prefer white eggplant or the "striped" purple and white because they are not as bitter. Unrelated to this, we went to a local Italian restaurant a couple of days ago. They have excellent pizza, but their other entrees leave a bit to be desired. Their soups were bland and watery, so I spoke to the owner (being the shy person that I am 😁) and asked if he ever watched you on KZread and he said he did. I tried to tactfully tell him to use some of your soup recipes (and others as well). They have two kitchens, one that does all the baked goods and one that does everything else. Hopefully, they can improve what comes out of the second kitchen.

Congratulations for you new book Chef JP finally you did 🎉👍

I don't know who I love most, Chef extraordinary or Jack !? 😅 I could wrap myself in eggplant and asleep in peace. 😂

Really curious about the new book 🤩 probably all amazing recipes, same as the ones on youtube. We are so lucky Jean Pierre is willing to share all of his extremely valuable knowledge with all of us ❤ So many chefs, whether professional or home cooks, don't want to share their secret and/or family recipes or special bbq rubs and sauces and such, which is just such a shame.. why not share the love and all of that amazingly good food?

I do love eggplants ,so delicious

Less is better EXCEPT when it comes to BUTTER!!! 😋😋😋

Chef Jean Pierre, thank you for all your fantastic recipes! I used to struggle with deciding what to cook until I found you. Now I can plan a whole week's menu in advance! PS - I also love your sense of humour 😊

This looks amazing! I will definitely be trying this recipe. Thank you, Chef.

Me and my family LOVES eggplant. Thank you!!

I look forward to your book! Thanks always for sharing with us!

I love eggplant, and that looked delicious! That's another recipe on my list to try out 🙂 I'm also going to try the filling for other things, maybe in a lasagna or just with some delicious basmati rice. Jack's edit is always so fun to watch, especially when you say you're used to hot food 😀 Your channel has to be the best cooking channel on KZread by far (and I follow quite a few). ❤

I like to char the cut side of my eggplant before scraping. I like the smokey flavor!

I have to try this recipe! It looks delicious! Thank you so much for teaching us how to cook for our families!

Great way to incorporate eggplant in your diet! Eggplants are very bladder, kidney, and prostate friendly for those who suffer from those afflictions. I will definitely keep this one in my repertoire! I'll probably add some olives! Thanks again, Chef Jean-Pierre, for inspiration in cooking! After all... it's not rocket science, it's just cooking!

This looks delicious chef. When ever I see you cook, you make me cook it because all of your recipes are soooo good. Thank you chef.

Nice recipe. I use a recipe that stuffs a zucchini. Par boil zucchini. Cut in half and remove pulp and save. Soak white bread in milk and squeeze out so it is moist. Add bread, pulp, shredded provolone cheese, cooked Italian sausage crumbled up, and stuff the zucchini.make sure you have enough bread because when you bake this the milk helps to brown the filling. Bake at 375 until filling is golden brown. I like put Wishbone Italian dressing on top before I eat them. Trust me. it is delicious chef!
