I had no idea how much could be done with just fire.This makes primitive cooking look so exotic. I can’t wait to learn more.
Tag: Francis Mallmann
It was fascinating and delightful I loved the documentary on this amazing man!
So beautiful and simple. Do you think letting the steak rest after cooking is unnecessary?
Like the simplicity, but still the correct process to cook to perfection.
I love the outdoor setting of the kitchen. The simplicity of the setting invites a calmness to the dish. I enjoyed learning about the chimichurri and the beauty of the green garnish on such a beautiful steak.
So lovely, wish I could be there to smell the smoke and taste all that goodness in the presence of those kind people!
This year has gone so quickly, I’ve enjoyed getting to know Francis better. I’m not ready to let go frankly, thank you for all the lessons and your steady presence, Francis. ,
I like how the chef took his time and explained things very well. I didn’t feel rushed – very relaxed. I can’t wait to make some empanadas.
Fantastic documentary, showing the full enthusiasm and fascination for cooking FM! Congrats and looking for more to come! CS
Beautiful! Simple and delicious. You learn the dough for the empanadas,, and you can make your variation. He explains the technique, the process of mixing the dough, and the shaping. Also how to do the “repulse” which is the sealing process of the dough. You create with your hands a beautiful packet of flavor and love. Gracias!!!!
Great shapes and stacks, appreciate that. Almost all the different recipes had the same flavor profile. More variety in flavor profiles along with the cooking techniques. Thanks for sharing. Patience and air as an ingredient Were my top take always!
Thank you for this one. I try to eat mostly plant-based and this hit the spot.
Hmmm, so are the guests supposed to eat the onion skin and hard pieces of the carrots? I think this recipe is a bit too simple. I would clean the vegetables a bit more.
I shall do this. it is so special for our family of up to 15 each Sunday. I will use several cast iron pans and be so very proud to present the evening’s vegetables just like this. thank you. Joy
I love the background music! I was raised a vegetarian and I still prefer veggies over meat. That being said, I feel that I am a better cook after having studied how meat dishes are cooked and how they taste. I love that you are honoring the new generation as they want a diet that is kinder to animals and at the same time more sustainable for the planet. Thank you!
I am literally in tears. How can you not be inspired by this man? How can you not fall completely in love with him and what he does? What a treasure.
Lovely memories, and family bonding. Exquisite surroundings and a wholesome meal. So much to love.
That was the most fun I have ever had cooking. Felt like I was on a adventure. Thank you. You are my new favourite chef. Would appreciate if you have any other recipes for open fire cooking to share them with me. Unbelievable. Well done
Learned a new way to make chimiichurri. Can’t wait to try it!
This was like a special journey connected with food. It was a marvelous learning experience.
That was putting art together what a masterpiece. I can almost see myself traveling to Jamaica just to eat that.
LOVE the dark bits, such wonderful extra flavour.
Perfect. I liked the recipes because I don’t eat meat, but I’ve already thought of all the recipes using other ingredients.
What a wonderful steak. I must get a grip on what is ribeye. I think a lot of butchers sell what may be classed as ribeye but doesn’t have the marbling & texture. Great to see what it looks like.
Absolutely an enchanting chef! Wonderful explanation of heat and a very inspiring man on the beauty of life and food.
Fabulous! I wish I was there, at this wonderful place with this gorgeous landscape and, above all, doing such recipes like these at this wonderful open-air kitchen!!!
I loved this recipe. Chimichurri came out perfect, great taste & my steak was perfect. Thanks, Chef 🥰
I love Francis ‘s laid back strategy so calming to be able to watch and learn his techniques. Thank you.
Really enjoyed — will listen to again and make some of his great potatoes.
Beautiful documentary! Very personal story of the chef and his cooking philosophy. Great photography and presentation. Loved it!
He’s my inspiration to use fire at my country cottage, where we have a lot of firewood (we heat the house with a wood stove and have chimneys outside for evening warmth). Almost everything I cook is farm-to-table.
There is such a strong sense of atmosphere in your kitchen and beautiful surroundings. The veg looks delicious and is beautifully presented. A lovely Christmas treat. thank you for sharing.
This is immensely satisfying to watch. And now it’s time to cook!
Wow, this was beautifully, clearly, and compellingly presented. Colors, textures, and art direction jump off the screen. And he is so straightforward, getting right to the essence of what you need to know to do it in no time. The first recipe I will try. 🙂
This looks amazing. Can’t wait to grow the eggplants and make this luxurious dish.
I love the beauty, the love, and the heart of cooking, The passion for life and nature, and simple perfect moments. Francis is an artist of heart and soul, and I love to share in his essence and beauty of life. Yes, being a Chef is an amazing experience and I am so glad I joined. It has already brought me great joy.
I can watch this ten times and enjoy it more every time. FM has such a gentle charisma and makes me want to cook…
Francis’s stories and nuggets of wisdom exceeded the cooking which looked amazing.
I love Francis’s teaching methods and humour …..”a clean pig never gets fat!!” .. love it … makes cooking approachable and fun.
I’m in love just watching him cook in the outdoors. Love his techniques. Trying them all…
Wow. This was incredible. A documentary/love letter/ travel log/poem. Impressive & I can’t wait in this spirit to dive in ❤️🙏😘👍Bravo!
What a beautiful human being. To be admired. A real treasure. My soul rejoices and I’m truly inspired.
I feel the urge, to go into the garden, pile up some wood and roast something. Great inspiration!

Chupin very tasty looking. We made that in the around the world. I love your way with all the vegetables, I will add all of them to my one. Thank you Chef Mallmann.

The Empanadas look amazing. I like the fresh tomato sauce you serve I like the Fresh Tomato sauce you serve in them.Thank you Chef

So incredibly inspiring and a great way to be pulled back to center, everything just gorgeous about this production.Bravo!

Great video! Love the natural surroundings. Will be cooking this one soon.

Mallmann is always an awesome experience, love his simple and laid back demeanor! Definetly will give this a try with Family!

His teaching is untangling me from old ideas about the complexity of “cooking”. Amazing Chef.

He’s amazing and that was fantastic. I’m making this today on Mother’s day/Sunday. TYSM, Francis.

Love how he did the salad, just breaking the lettuce and tomato with his hands! it certainly brings a whole new meaning to the word, “rustic”! Quite lovely!

We made these last night over our fire and they were absolutely delicious. We didn’t have thyme but we had fresh marjoram. Otherwise we followed the recipe as presented.

Your domino potatoes gave me a new inspiration for Hasselbeck potatoes. Thank You

Love – it, love it, love it. Amazing eggplant. The touch of garlic and time is magic. Be sure in my next menus. Thank you.

Panqueques dulce de leche, Apple pancake. Again I will try this with my next clients. All look simple but very tasty and make you feel happy. Thank you, Chef.

Thanks for such an inspirational film. Joyous food. Silence. Respect for nature. Aspirations of beauty in every table. A philosophy that spoke deeply.

Simply divine! The classgraphy is so lovely and I am now salivating and craving the aromas of the food and the feel of the fire beautiful! Thank you Francis!

This is one of the most beautiful class of what we all think is a simple dish. The layers of flavor illustrated in this class are spectacular! Can’t wait to make this!

Tangerine, grapefruit, orange. Caramelized, wonderful cream to finish a romantic desert.Thank you Chef.

I cannot wait to make this recipe it looks amazing, I will see if I can gather a few friends over tho munch on them. We used to have a stove like yours but it was lost somehow in transition to newer things. I really love you wood fired stove.

Ok I love this and as a person who loves to cook by fire I also would love to build and outdoor hearth fire such as yours. I have a wood fired oven .Thank you for the inspiration!

I love the shots of this plated. Messy at first glance, and yet beautiful. Your recipes are super approachable for a home cook.

Oh my goodness, this should taste devine. A must try, as potatoes are my absolute favorite food. And to make with your hands, well, this will make my husband happy…

Dessert, really good way of cooking Pears, and adding dulce de leche. A very nice proposal for a nice winter sweet snack Thank you Chef!

Mallmann takes cooking meat and brings it to an art form. The quality of the instruction is great and the videography is superb. Bravo

Francis is truly mesmerizing. He loves life and THAT is exemplified in his craft which is what is so appealing.

Absolutely wonderful to watch an d I can’t wait to make them! Though I won’t be daring enough to cook in a poncho! 🙂

First think I need to say is what a relaxing experience it is to watch you cook. I’m inspired to say the least! I will be attempting to recreate this in my oven or possibly low and slow on my bbq.❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful and rich story of a true Argentinian treasure.

Beautiful Argentinian salad. Love the way and the mix of vinegar, and lemon dressing. Thank you Chef Mallmann.

Fantastic! The photography and music fully compliment the beauty of the food.
I made the dominos and they came out AWESOME! Not a hard dish to make but delicious. I had seen this recipe before, attributed to Francis Mallmann, but not with him presenting. Much better demonstration (obviously) and much better product. Thank you YESCHEF!
What a great introduction to a chef I hadn’t heard of until now. I’m feeling very inspired.
This is fantastic, I live in a climate perfect for growing spuds and they are my favourite thing to eat and grow, love trying all these!
Just love it. Everything so much connected with nature. Would love to be there and get a taste of the food made on the fire.
I learned a new way to make empanadas. I will give it a try. Great video, and amazing explanations by this master chef.
Oh how I love this! I live in a place where all this is possible. One fire, one plancha at a time. Besos
I have just joined “YesChef”. I have watched Chapa Veggies, looks wonderful. I will cook and serve all my friends vegetarian or not. Looking forward to more episodes
Fantastic story, such an innovative chef. Inspired me to start fire cooking.
Wonderful presentation not only of the methods of cooking but also the attitude of cooking and sharing a passion with others.
I am mesmerized by Chef’s teachings. I can watch him all day. Thank you for your graciousness.
Lovely Steak and cooking demonstration. And it’s so relaxing to watch. I will be cooking this steak with ChimichurrI on a Sunday.
As a potato addict, this is wonderful! I am definitely playing more with the shape of potatoes. The natural background of the Andes is breathtaking.
The surrounding area is so soothing and restful. Your cooking is simple but most importantly beautiful.Thanks!
I love the simplicity of the preparation. The mustard and red wine vinaigrette I’m sure is delicious – can’t wait to make this for Thanksgiving.
I loved this, everything about it. Fire is amazing and cooking with fire is spectacular. Thank you!!!!!
So inspiring! Wow! I want to go cook over the fire right now and then eat it around a colourful table with all my family and friends! Certainly a labour of love!
I have made chimichurri before but never started with water…this is by far the best recipe I have come across. This is now my GO-TO chimichurri recipe! Thank you YesChef!
Wonderful video, I was truly inspired. I will share my attempt soon with friends, around our Arteflame grill. Thank you!
Great ingredients, know-how, and good Smokey heat all add up to a deliciously simple meal.
OMG! Forget these potatoes as a side dish they are main dish worthy! His simple techniques to slow down and enjoy what you are doing are what we all need in life right now. Thank you!
These episodes are beautifully done! I enjoy Francis Mallmann so much! Not only does he teach the cooking process but also the way to enjoy good food and people.
Great first class for me. I love eggs and learned how to cook them better with these classes. Thank you!
I’ve seen hand pies around the Seattle area.Thank you for the lesson. The fresh salsa also looked easy and simple to do. Such an inspiration.
That looks fabulous and I think it would be a perfect summertime dish with all the fresh lettuce and tomatoes ?!
I watched this for the first time today.The passion and chill of Francis was highly inspiring. So tonight I made his “ Domino Potato “They came out excellent. Thank you, Francis.
This was my first YesChef class, and I can already say that the others will have quite a high bar to leap over – but here I go!!!

Love the simplicity and ease with which Francis cooks simply inspirational!

“Drink the wine that makes you happy” … you good sir, with your easygoing disposition while making wonderful food, are making me happy – Thank you!

As a guy that grew up in the back woods of Vermont… I applaud chef Mallmann. His knowledge of fire and food is unsurpassed.
