Yup, loved them working with this book.
Make it a chef's battle. Same recipe, each delivers their own interpretation.
I'm late watching this, and it was great fun, but I'm really surprised at the seemingly general ignorance of what "pommes noisettes" are in England.
I hate how they pronounce "filet". It drives me nuts.
Next one, a recipe from one of your own cook books but they only get the name
you should cook from Robert Kemp"s The Family save all
My husband is a chef & he still has his Le Repertoire De La Cuisine from school. This video filled him with evil glee, but he was also on your side & thought you did a solid job of interpreting.
You should review Julia Childs cookbook! :)
A Tudor cook book
4:36 Thank you to whomever edited this. That little snippet was golden!
Next book - Milk Street: Tuesday Nights by Christopher Kimball. It won the James Beard Award for best General Cookbook this year.
According to google, bens potatoes were actually the right ones.
F. T. Marinette The futurist cookbook
I've had that book from my early cheffing days and honestly all i actually do with it is make sure it's always discreetly obviously displayed in my recipe grab books without ever being grabbed.
I mean i have read it, it's just not useful for much except when you can't remember the super fancy name for something. Mostly my kitchen terminology is more " oh just...mnh...* flappy spider finger gesture*" (note: this only works with chefs you know well or for freaking out the commis)
I’m thinking Harry Potter cook book from Binging with banish
binging with babish cookbook
Try an Alton Brown cookbook!!!!!
Chef battle only using recipes from the spam cookbook.
Make them do the really weird julia child recipes!
does it really count as mise en place cauliflower if you've done no prep and are not prepping
"Pommes noisettes" are actually mashed potatoes mixed with eggs and potato starch, fried in a pan in little balls.
"Fleurons" are baked.
More of French Classics!! Love it
More of the chefs doing this book!!
Do mastering the art of french cooking by julia child.
This is a great idea. I would love to see more dishes made from this book. Perhaps a head to head battle rather than a combined effort would be a cool twist.
I actually think Ben is right about the nut shaped potatoes. He said it in a weird way but they are like mini potatoes. In Dutch we call them 'kriel'. I bet there is a British name too. Isnt it like baby potato or new potato?
"This is a co-op dish but I'm still winning!" - James, probably.
Idea: Get two people to memorize a similar recipe but with very different instructions. Tell them they were given the same recipe and have to work together to create it.
Funny how many "cheffy" french words they say and yet they pronounce every single one of them completely wrong.
Ben speaking French is so attractive.
I think you should find some recipes from the famous English 18th Century cookbook by Eliza Smith "The Complete Housewife" First published around 1730 and is still published today.
dear god, not tounees. I'm having nightmares now.
The Harry Potter cookbook! I have it and it's got some good recipes.
Mean girls cookbook
Do page 191
Line 4
(1914 the year of the book)
I would really love a whole series of ben v james with this book. Just to see their different interpretations of each recipe. YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT
Interpretated yeah? lol
Really late to the party. The Momofuku cookbook by David Chang.
You should really make a regular segment out of teaming up to cook a recipe from this book.
I think it would be interesting if they used a Kids' Cookbook (maybe even bring children in to cook with them.
Now I'd like to see the same video with the three normals
Do a gluten free week plz
I need MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!!! There are so many bizarre cook book authors DONT BE AFRAID
TO THROW SOME SHADE 😂👏
Please try recipes from the Tim Burton cookbook, Vincent Price’s cookbook(s), Salvador Dali’s cookbook, the HP Lovecraft cookbook& the Hannibal cookbook!
tell me this wouldnt be a great battle series
Ben, you were right about the potatoes!Pommes noisettes designate small potato balls fried in butter or oil. Great looking dish as always boys !
James was so proud. Never seen him smile like that before 🤣
Eat what you watch cook book!
do this review with chef vs normals
This is a great idea for a series. I'd love to see a chef and a normal tackle another recipe together
overwatch and world of warcraft cook books
Make them cook from Thug Kitchen, Eat Like You Give A F*ck.
the sycophantic comments here are nauseating - get a life, losers!
Cook from the moosewood....I dare u
Next cookbook: Flavor Bible
Ben speaking bad French is my new sexual orientation 😂
"Cheers, Mate" - Jamie 2019
Nothing has ever resonated with me more.
I'm thriving off of Ben's butchered French
XD the worst and most awkward French I've ever heard lol
Still pretty good video keep up the good work and thank you
"And for our next disagreement...". I feel you, James LMFAO

There already have been some suggestions of getting a non-English cooking book.
But I think this title deserves its own post
(although someone might have suggested this already; I blame not being able to search this comment section):
"Kotiruoka"
( published by "Otava" and most recently revised by "Kaisa Isotalo" & "Raija Kuittinen" )
is pretty much the "bible" of Finnish-kitchen.
Not only it contains recipes. But it also contains technique-guides for various cooking methods and some "etiquette" things
( like how to set-up the table and so on ).
Also this book predates "Le Répertoire De La Cuisine" by six years
( "Kotiruoka" was first published in 1908 ).
As hinted, this book at the moment is only available in Finnish.
But the recipes itself are quite simple and translating them shouldn't be an over-complex process.
