The internet's most elegant cooking videos

[Renn]

I would've thought that there would already be a listing somewhere of the most elegant cooking technique on the internet...but if there is, I wasn't able to find it.

So, why not make this thread a little library of some of the best internet cooking videos you've ever seen?

There are quite a few videos out there that are amazing from an entertainment or showmanship standpoint, but for now I'm going to focus on videos that show great skill in service to deliciousness:

First, something that has been covered elsewhere on egullet...itasan's series of videos showing the processing of all maner of fish: http://www.youtube.c...feature=g-all-f

Fugu:

Great videos of Tempura and Dashimaki: http://www.youtube.c...r/KaitenSushiTV

The whole Ryugin channel is fascinating, but their bbq eel video is probably my favorite:

I've only started watching this series, but seeing the Roux brothers make puff pastry is pretty amazing:

Again, another fun series, but this episode of MPW cooking for Raymond Blanc is my favorite:

A huge repository of videos...mostly of plate ups rather than actual cooking technique, but I hope to dig through it sometime and find favorites. One with promise is the one with Michel and Seb Bras making the gargaillou: http://www.youtube.c...ser/wbpstarscom

And since I brought up that dish:

BTW, great DVD series if you haven't already seen it.

Rasmus as he prepared for the Bocuse d'Or 2011:

Granted, my list is almost all fine dining...but I'd love to find examples of amazing technique in all manner of cooking.
