Another superbly catastrophic, explosive cooking experience by the Anti-Chef. Bravo...........leaking and overflowing food processing, puddles of soup everywhere...........and it cannot be said that "no animals were injured or lost their life in this video" because Scott tragically lost his life in an unintentional freak onset prop malfunction. This episode had it all......comedy, tragedy, poor technique, great technique and in the end apparently a delicious soup!

This was an emotional rollercoaster. First I thought that the little black dot in the sautéing onions was somehow Scott. This was followed by relief, and a sense of calm, as you showed him observing the proceedings from time to time. During the chaotic watercress pureeing I forgot all about Scott. But then, the look on your face said it all. I knew Scott was missing before you even admitted it. Where WAS Scott?! I was frantic. What if he had gotten pureed? What if you ate him without even knowing? No, no, it was even more horrific. His life was snuffed by Volume One. Damn you, Julia, for having so many steps! They killed Scott. I only hope it was quick.

Moral of the Story: Don't throw books, Jamie!! God, this is one of my favorite episodes of Anti-Chef. It has everything. The chaotic realism of the cooking process, exploring a new recipe/food item I never heard of, and a delicious looking soup--- with an added bonus of a disappearance mystery with a tragic end. #RIPSCOTT Great job!

One of my fondest childhood memories was picking watercress with my mom in the creek at the front of our home. She used it in so many yummy recipes. oh… and RIP Scott.

I love your videos; they remind me (in the best way) of Julien Solomita’s Aries Kitchen. RIP Scott! 😳 Also- friendly tip, put a damp kitchen towel underneath your mixing bowl to keep it from moving and spinning when you’re doing the drizzle/whisk move.

You are correct, Sir: Julia's soups are superb! When I first made her Potato & Leek Soup (decades ago ... ) it was a culinary eye-opener for me. FYI: a "moulinette" is a FOOD MILL. Unlike a blender or food processor, you turn the crank and it squeezes (or mills) the liquid out of the other solid ingredients rather than tearing them into little pieces. Thus you get a totally smooth soup! Bon chance et bon appetit!

Unlike a blender, or food processor -- which tear everything into smaller pieces, including the roughage you wouldn't want in your sauce, gravy or soup -- the food mill presses and scrapes the cooked vegetables/fruit through small round holes.

A moulinette is just a food mill, and you get a smoother soup if you use it. A plunge blender works well, though, and it's a lot easier to deal with.

A moulinette, colloquially known as a moully, is also used to refine marijuana into smaller, smoother particles that are then easier to burn through a water pipe ('bong' in street slang).

I live somewhere that produces a lot of watercress, so when lockdown hit and suddenly there weren't the fancy restaurants to use it all, the local area was p much flooded with the stuff! I ate so much watercress back then; it's pretty much the only salad green I can stand. but there's just something wonderful about slowly chewing through a giant sprig of deliciously peppery pondweed like some sort of beached manatee. side note: sometimes your watercress will have started to sprout flowers. it's fine, they're edible, but the flavour is like twice as potent.

The snail saga was excellent

This episode has everything. Even a well worn, emaciated cookbook. Side of burn salve & handiwipes RIP Scott. Just luv ya. 😊

I just discovered this channel last week when I was looking for vichyssoise recipes. I'm somehow exorcising my fear of chaotic kitchens by watching you. 🤣🤣🤣 #RIPScott 🐌 (PS I killed like 8 snails today because they're taking over my fish tank, so RIP Scott's cousins, too.)

Another wonderful, humorous, yet tragic, episode! #ripscott indeed! At least you have a lasting, if disgusting and unsanitary, memory of him on your cookbook! Jamie, I know I'm late to the party, but you have convinced me, based on the soups alone, to get these cookbooks! Thank you for your courage, your humor, and your cinematic creativity!

Scott will be part of your show forever. As a skid mark on Julia Childs' book.

Great stuff. You had me shouting at the tv when you put the soup in a cuisinart and laughing out loud when you showed the underside of the cookbook. Subscribed.

I love watercress in any form and I love watercress soup. If you want to dress up a salad, nasturtium is a member of the watercress family and you can use the leaves and flowers to dress up a salad and make yourself look all sophisticated. It has the same lovely peppery taste.

Moulinette is just what the french call a food mill. And while not something that's super common in the typical household these days they are still widely used in professional kitchens and by serious cooks creating authentic gourmet quality dishes.

Makes all soups much easier, speeds up humus, by peeling the cooked peas in a bulk... And you skip the straining step !

There's usually a few smiles in these videos, often a 'oh no, don't!' or two, but this was the first one that produced sustained laughter. Callous, I know, but I don't apologize.

"I knew that was going to happen, but I did it anyway" Word I live by😂

I am a home cook, not a chef (but I'd like to play one on TV,..LOL), and I watch lots of shows to help me cook. My dear wife does a lot of other stuff in our household, but I'm expected to make all the meals. For some complicated recipe I watch a video rather than read a book, it's more visual of course, and you can freeze frame and follow along. That's all well and good, but If I want to laugh my ass off occasionally, I'll come to Jamie's channel, plus I'm such a fan of old Julia, having many of her original shows on DVD, and now you can get them on YT which is great, that this show is now one of my favorites. Bonus is that you can get really great meals from following along and always have a nice chuckle from Jamie's "technique" to boot. A "two fer"!! And everyone here knows how great it is to get a two fer now a days. Lots of fun on this one, lots of fun comments, and a few "sticks in the mud". Humor and some chaos; but that's what this show is about, cooking and fun. Like or move on if it is not your "cup of tea"!! ;D Anyway, my two cents. I like soups too, mostly easy to make, even with a bit of chaos thrown in. In some places in the U.S., you can go down to the local drainage ditch or creek, and harvest some watercress, BTW. Might have to wash them pretty well though, to remove any extra "protein" in your salad or soup. ;D

I don't know why, but as soon as the Anti-Chef looked startled in the direction of Scott, I started to laugh and lol'd several more times after that. The soup looks deliciious too, sans Scott.

That's a childhood memory there XD My mom and grandma often made watercress soup, because it was one of the rare soups that my sister liked, it's delicious, although I've never seen them put yolks in it, just cream and butter ^^ Another excellent soup like that is sorrel's soup ^^

Honestly we are all learning from the vague nuances of the book and ensuing meltdowns that occur, so please continue with your earnest and positive attitude preparing from scratch some of the most difficult recipes of all time. Well done

Several things: 1) *hilarious;* 2) love the presentation; 3) subbed immediately after the video was over.

Jaime you are the best! While most people edit out their mistakes or misteps you let us see that noones perfect and I love you for it. In the end scott was a casualty of good cooking and perseverance. I feel like he was glad to go out that way! Thank you!

I used to float a little butter on my piping hot tomato soup. I learned it from my mom. I now know it is called "enrichment butter". RIP Scott.

I just tried this recipe and, even without the snail, it is excellent. I would never have thought to make watercress soup except for seeing your video. Thanks.

moulinette is just french for a kitchen item called a 'food mill' which is somewhere between a sieve and a food processor, only hand-cranked. It is how restaurants get mashed potatoes mashed so fine.

Jamie! I found your videos 2 days ago and have been on a binge!! You've got an incredible sense of humor. A tip: when whisking/mixing in a bowl, put it on a damp cloth so it doesn't spin. Thanks for the videos! 😃

you don't have to fill the blender while it's on the motor, you can put it down on the counter, easier to fill it at a more practical height. also, i'd allow the soup to cool for a while before doing that, both for safety and to not put hot liquids into plastic

My sister found a snail in a bag of grapes several years ago, we had him for awhile and named him Snilliam. She would discard the leftover bird seed her parrot Charlie didn't eat by just throwing it outside for the wild, *grateful birds who eat their seeds,* and some of it was apparently kale seeds because we had "driveway kale" growing from our gravel driveway where she threw away his seeds. This was a good chunk of Snilliams diet. I miss that snail.

Great video and recipe! I will give it a try. But it is truly the first time I’ve seen a man defeated by a food processor! Love ya Jamie ❤️🍷

The brilliance of Julia’s books is that they are really a textbook of cooking rather than a collection of recipes. Every recipe teaches you basic and more advanced tasks needed to do other dishes. Like tempering eggs,making stocks and sauces,etc. Her second book was used for a cooking college course that I took.

I love this show!!

Add the flour (no need to sift just dump it in) along w any other seasonings. And use the emersion blender to blend four and stock. Then take a strainer over pot and pour mixture. The strainer takes and clumps. Bring to boil and stir occasionally. Then add cream bring to boil again still stirring here and there. Done. No mess

I relate to this so much...bravo.

Jamie, in honor of your tragedy, I’m going to share a very personal, horrific experience with my own culinary mascot snail. I discovered “Gary” in the tall grass one dewy spring morning ...the most perfect 🐌 you’d ever come across ...with beautifully coiled shell a full inch wide and long antennae fully extended ...gliding along at a rapid pace. Determined to not abandon such a majestic creature to the whims of weather, I adopted him - he lived on my kitchen counter where I would greet him each morning. I enjoyed spoiling him with fresh veggies ...watching him devour leafy greens and hearing him crunching on carrots brought me great pleasure. A year later I relocated, and for safe transit Gary was relegated to a small soup container. In the hectic throughs of moving, I absently placed Gary in the new kitchen where the counter-space and tabletop were (of course) covered with boxes. Hours later, exhausted and in need of a quick meal, I heated frozen pizza in the oven. It was only the next day when I was making my way through the kitchen clutter that I found him deceased: he had been placed on the stovetop, and I deduced the previous evening’s oven heat had been his undoing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ At least Scott passed quickly. Gary likely did not. 😢🤧😔

Came across your channel today and have watched 7 episodes. 👍🏻

In a soup, a tart or fricassé, watercress is a delicacy. It has a unique taste that makes your day brighter.

I love watercress! A friend of mine in London makes a variation of this soup with a pinch of curry.

I used to use lettuce in all my cold sandwiches, but then I discovered the glorious combo of arugula and watercress. Now it's ALL I use in cold sandwiches, and it is an absolute sandwich game-changer! So I'm dying to try this soup. WOW!

I loved this episode. I love most of your episodes but this one had it all. I laughed at the mistakes. I have left the blade out of my food processor too-- and a Cochleacide! Poor Scott!

Oh holy hell the food processor debacle was a riot! I was sitting here thinking, “you’re about to have a serious problem on your hands since you forgot the blade.” Then it played out as I expected and I had to pause the video to get myself back under control from laughing. Don’t feel bad though-the reason I saw the error and knew what was about to happen is because I have done the exact same thing…about five times (slow learner apparently). Just like you, after the catastrophic mess and loss of product, my brain finally registered that I have an immersion blender and it was the tool for the job.

when i grew up in the 70's watercress was quite common on toast with strawberries and some sugar....i recall the distinct taste even now...

Perfect show

Scott’s pretty chill!

I laughed so hard I cried! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Soup is my favorite thing to cook. I wish my husband like soups better,we’d eat them all the time all winter and even summer soups. I’ve done that food processor without the blade thing before. I now have one that can’t do that,the blade sets inside. But I always use my immersion blender if it’s hot liquid.

You can also blend your soup in your vitamix or blender. It will achieve the same texture as a moulinette or food mill. A nice smooth texture.

Oh my God, I love cream of watercress! Haven't had it since I lived in England 25 years ago...
