scrambled eggs , french style :

 

 

I used to do this all the time , of course w/o the smoked salmon 

 

but I started w beaten eggs .  here MPW starts w whole eggs , and each yolk is ' cut ' once while in a warm pan.

 

Bon Appetit

There's no doubting the man's talents, but by Lords above and below I find him condescending.

 

The Pierre Koffman series is worth a watch if it's still available.

Isn't MPW the guy that Gordon Ramsay told to get effed and dumped a box of salt in his stock?

Interesting.

 

Im usually bothered by condescending.   its often accompanied w idiocy .

 

I found MPW , in these vids  , interesting to watch .  and learned a few tidbits .

 

He mentioned on the tomato sauce ep that fresh ripe tomatoes were available 2 weeks a year.

 

then demonstrated  a restaurant trick for excellent tomato sauce : use 1/2 fresh ripe , and 1/2 canned

 

rather that 100 % canned .  and cooking to not evaporate etc

 

but , as far as I recall , the restaurant gets excellent tomato sauce for only 2 weeks a year.

Tomatoes for two weeks is not bad in a country that gets one week of sun

If so, the irony would be delicious as MPW started hawking instant stock gels in adverts for a few years
