community because there's a tab where
you can have loads of info sorry but now

all those recipes like who work at night
now you don't care it's it's fair it's
fair no problem look at this this is a
beauty I'm so what you just see in front
of you is the result of about two years
and a half of work two years and a half
at first I was very secret about this
hello Paul Becker thank you very much at
first I was very you know secret about
all this and then as as I understood
that it was really gonna happen then I
started you know releases releasing some
informations here and there on facebook
on Twitter on Instagram and then it was
official about public month or two
months ago and nowadays I should state
that this is the very first we very
first copy
ever of just a French guy cooking by
Alexis Gabriel I use which is my full
name it's a bit long that's why I simply
want to call myself Alex ever period so
far you see how much this is ever period
so far this is exactly my book okay so
without further ado let's open this book
I'm very excited just a French guy
cooking this is the title and also this
is a nice reminder of the u-turn well
what about you get it you're very smart
easy recipes and kitchen hacks for
rookies oh I can see something down
there this is the problem of this
forward by who's Jamie return which
forward by Jamie Oliver oh yes this is
an achievement on its own okay let's
open it
congratulation Alex this is your very
first cookbook it looks amazing from the
whole team who work with me because I
need to tell you about this I'm going to
tell you about how I did this book in
just a second lalalalala
pick to be a fantasy okay there's a
little stained don't look on Allah Allah
Allah that's that's how serious I am
when I make a cup of tea okay Wow
just a French guy could wear just a
French guy cooking easy recipes in
kitchen hacks for cookies you see so
these are the chapters eggs soups salads
snacks pedes I'm quiche carbs pancakes
meat and fish veggies and sweets looks
so nice in real life I mean I've seen
that the drive the mock up whatever for
world so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
reveal too much the for world because
it's a it's a very special message that
was written so by Jamie River
I was really moved the day I read it
like really really popular so because
he's forward is so amazing I didn't have
to wrote I didn't have to write an intro
for my book which is you know I don't
know it's always a plus so you've got so
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna run you
through very quickly you've got
different you see the omelet paper style
you've got super piece to onion soup
snacks you've got the old mighty bread
dough the some of the bread recipe for
normal people pizza and creation cabs
all those stuff if anything I should
mention about my book is that I insisted
to get a few chapters you know to
informational chapters I mean let me
find one for example like this I suppose
there are at least ten chapters like
this one and they are just meant to make
you smarter
that is one about knives that is one
about how to there is one about cheese's
there is one about a red wine how to
pale red and white wine the easy way
this book let me tell you about the
philosophy behind this book so you've
seen my videos I try to bring
inspiration I'm not drunk at all sorry
guys it's just that my voice is
completely broken so this book is
different than my videos my videos are
there to you know make you smile to
entertain you and to bring you some
inspiration that's the main word here I
want I think that by making you smile
and that I I can make a first step for
you guys I can make you I can lead you
into the cooking I know I can just
infuse you with what matters to me in
terms of cooking and
that's what my videos are all about
inspiration madness you know
confidence-booster that's the thing but
and there is a but there's a bit they
are not the most practical in terms of
proportion they are not the most you
know simple in terms of recipe there one
could not say that they are very easy to
follow when you want to make the recipe
there there are triggers my videos of
triggers this is a solid companion in
this book I've got a hundred recipes and
each and every one of them has been
thoroughly tested by me and but and by
other food stylists just to make sure
that you can achieve all those recipes
and those recipes have been kept simple
on purpose they are easy they are doable
they are cheap most of them are very
cheaper there there is no caviar there
is no Lobster whatsoever I don't care
about this many of them are very healthy
many of them as well are French inspire
but but at the same time I think at
least half of the book is
internationally influenced but that's
the problem of the life I'm not sure
about those words you know has some
international influence yet that's
better so it's basically the way I cook
at my place the way I cook on a daily
basis that's what I wanted to include in
this you know I wanted also to mention
that I did not work on this book alone I
was working with the team photographer a
food stylist
you know designer editor publisher it's
amazing what you can achieve when you
when you're working with the team which
is very new for me cause like I don't
know until until last year I was always
working by myself you know so so so it's
just a nice step for me and that's why I
mentioned that this is a life-changing
experience for me this
you know a defining moment in my career
of course let's let's face it for cooks
and for everybody in the in the food
world you need to have a cookbook I mean
you need to have a cookbook it it's just
important to share with your audience to
give them so to give you guys the
ability to replicate the recipes so
that's what this book is all about I've
been sharing the link on social media
it's also on Twitter I'm gonna share it
in the description box down below I
think it's already in the description
box down below so that you can pre-order
this book and that that leads me to the
when question when is this book gonna be
available my voice is going down and
down um you're going with me I'm telling
you okay so when the book is gonna be
available on September 4 and September 6
if you're living in the UK and the US
I think it's September 6 if you're
living in Australia its September 4 but
most likely everywhere it's gonna be
available on Amazon or on other of
distributor but mostly Amazon on
September 6 you can pre-order the book
of course many of you have already
pre-ordered a book thank you guys so
much I really appreciate the effort I
know that you guys have been supporting
me from the stuff I know that you guys
my community are the very reason why
this is possible I can put all the work
in the world I can put all the efforts
everything in there without you there's
no book there is no cookbook there is no
me there is nothing so let's just go
back i I do the sound effect because
it's a life if I die I can't do the
sound effect whatever if you have
questions about the book guys I will
gladly answer them I think we still have
like 20 minutes to go so just go ahead
I'm gonna read
the comments right now and try to answer
as many as possible thank you so much
guys I love you
nah nah I'm serious I'm dead serious I
do love you okay let me know
is there any yeah it's going too fast
soon the fact we love you Alex I love
you too
is there any French recipes in there yes
definitely some French inspired recipes
there is no boeuf bourguignon
there is no blanket it's more likely to
be French inspired because I think that
when choking is a bit dusty so I'm
bringing you fresh and fun wind on
French cooking and international cooking
as well yes rip our IP voice good
achievement buddy yes how can I stop
this it's going too fast
is there a ramen chapter yes there is a
ramen chapter in the book not exactly a
ramen chapter but there is a soup
chapter and I think that there is at
least two three four ramen recipe in
this book it's not gonna be focused on
ramen so don't buy don't buy this book
only to get ramen recipes because it's
not the case you need to have an open
mind with with this book I mean if you
buy the book you will have an open mind
I'm seeing some questions about my
channel about other things let's keep
the question guys focused on the
cookbook okay so let me know turn on
slow mode I have that love to turn on
slow mode live chat table chat slow-mo
how can I do this
papa there is no slow mode whatever is
this for amateur or advanced cook this
is for amateur this is for noobs this is
for us this is I mean I do cook every
day but still I ever consider myself as
a as a never starter as an ever student
it's written right there easy
recipes and kitchen hacks for rookies
rookies that's us we are the rookies
forever rookies rookies father what is
the cost of the book I think it sees I
think the book is about $19 so it's
probably like 16 euros of something is
there any kitchen hacks yes there are
plenty kitchen hacks in these books I
mean there's a whole chapter about
kitchen hacks but there is also hacks
everywhere I've been you know have been
very specific with the publisher that I
wanted like a specific interval for each
and every of those recipes like a
personal intro this one is a funny one
it's it's it's a pup pup pup chapter
it's about snacks
it's about very super easy slash like
for example if you take a look at this
rain in a poppy era arepa there is a
specific and personal intro that I've
wrote this is my this is my fault by the
way this is the way I write this is
exactly how I write and it just gives
you more perspective more informations
about the dish about my vision or about
a story that happens in my life and to
which the dish is connected to you love
sex whatever it's just very random
hi Alex how many recipes are vegan
friendly I think they're vegan there are
few vegan recipes but I guess down more
vegetarian recipes so I've been very
specific as well on making this book
accessible for everybody so there are
gluten free recipe there are vegetarian
recipe there are a few vegan recipe not
that many but vegetarian yes there are
many and also this book actually I
shouldn't have this book this is this is
me in a book this book is about the
philosophy that I've been carrying
around this channel forever for five
years which is not ever which is get
smart in the kitchen just you know try
to adapt beef
sibel justjust try to learn so if you're
vegan and you see a vegetarian recipe
then you can just adapt this is giving
you some you know some good tips some
good guidance and then you will adapt
I'm sure you will
how do I get the book signed by you Alex
so that's a good question I'm gonna make
a few sign books so it's gonna be a very
super rare edition probably gonna sign
up I'm not gonna sign up I'm probably
gonna sign a 50 to 100 book I don't know
exactly how but I'm working on getting
them available for you guys my voice is
still getting down don't worry I will
share the information with you guys just
stay connected with me on YouTube
Instagram Facebook Twitter and you will
have the information where you can buy
in a signed copy is there a bit of
Mexican food yet there is a bit of
Mexican food hello from South Africa
hello South Africa are there any
original recipes are you kidding me
like is this a place where we just copy
everything no no I I would love to say
these are only original recipes and I
think they are in many ways but nobody
invent stuff exactly we we all you know
inspire ourselves from others but I mean
to the best of my ability I tried to
write original recipe it was very
important for me
what about vegetarian recipes so I just
mentioned this Australian cuisine
I don't think so that much in the meijin
cuisine yes I think that is Indonesian
food in their breakfast food yes but but
it's divided the dish after have a bit
different it's not like breakfast dinner
lunch it's it's more like I don't know
it's it's probably it probably suits my
mind a bit better
but you see eggs soups salads snacks
pizza and quiche I love this chapter of
course carbs because carbs are good for
you I am I'm a big you know supporter of
the French diet which shouldn't
the French side it should just be called
the reasonable diet so I ate a bit of
everything but in just low quantities
pancakes very important ones because
meat and fish veggies super important
chapter i love veggies if you were at my
place like on a weeknight i only eat
veggies i mean most of the time I only
eat veggies so you had a quick glimpse
inside at the chapters any barbecue
recipes yes there are I think a few
barbecue recipes but not that much I'm
not super big on barbecue first because
I don't have a garden at my place and
second because I don't have a terrace
tell us here in the studio so Romania's
they are mozzarella no there is no
madonna recipes in this book it's not a
book on how to make food this is about
recipes there is a slight difference but
I think it's just you know the perfect
add-on to the videos the videos are
there to bring you inspiration this is
there to bring you guidance recipes like
the practical help you need when you're
actually making the recipe akh thank you
so much
Romanian food no I don't think there is
Romanian food in there although every
food is inspired by another one so
probably thank you guys so much for all
your worlds of of support is the book
available in French I don't think it is
as far now at least it will be
translated in many languages in the
future but it's probably gonna take a
while till it get translated in French
it's funny it's funny Polish food no
there is no Polish food in there there
is like there is food from everywhere
from South America from North America
from Asia big time from Africa from
Europe loads of you know loads of
different point of view on the food that
I cook I really did a sketch of mine to
try and find interesting recipes for you
guys
British recipes definitely there are a
few British recipes it will be sold out
immediately yes I think it will I hope
it will cleo de yeah thank you so much
man Bobbo
how long have you been cooking for while
man Northern Irish food yes there is a
bit of Northern Irish inspired food in
there
I really did use everything I did in the
past by practical you know cooking
knowledge but also all my travels around
Brazilian recipes yes they are a few
it's not exactly Brazilian recipes or
North American recipes it's more likely
that I don't see any borders between
cuisine so I go and fetch everything I
need if it's an ingredient I need from
Asia and I pick it up if it's a
technique I need from South America and
I pick it up
that's how I cook and I think that's how
you should be cooking as well
it's called disruptive cooking it just
allows you to go very fast and to get to
the point as quickly as possible just
reading through another question what is
your favorite thing about the book I
think my favorite thing about this book
is is that and it's okay so it's the end
of the life but I'm just gonna end up on
this question because it's a very
interesting question my favorite thing
about this book is not a recipe it's not
a chapter it's not Jamie Oliver's
introduction even though I I do love it
it's not the pictures even though they
are absolutely stunning it's the fact
that it's possible it's the fact that if
you want it really really badly if you
want to achieve something in life you
can do it
it's unbelievable to just realize that a
few years ago I didn't have a youtube
channel I didn't have a community
it's unbelievable it's unbelievable to
see that things are likely to happen if
you really commit to them and and trust
me I did put all my efforts or my love
or my commitment into making good videos
trying to you know question this status
quo I could have been doing like random
recipes like coping with what they do
doing extreme food this is not what I
would have been committing to I've been
committing to trying as much as I can to
do original stuff new stuff trying to
push the boundaries trying to and and
trying to just you know come up with new
stuff come up with them you know
interesting stuff on a very low level
and I think this book is about the exact
same philosophy it's about it's about a
guy who happens to be French and who's a
newcomer in the cooking world in the
food world and who did somehow succeed
thanks to loads of stuff including
person who have been helping me at very
critical time thanks to family thanks to
friends thanks to a massive loving
caring supportive community it's about
the story of this guy so just don't get
don't don't be fooled by the title
because that is French guy cooking the
real title is just a French guy cooking
so that's the spirit of the book simple
stuff funny very good you're welcome
okay guys it's been an absolute pleasure
I really should be doing more lies I
have been enjoying every second of this
life I've been missing so many comments
I've seen quite a few I will just run
run
them another time just to see if I miss
some good stuff thank you very much for
being there thank you very much for your
love and support
don't forget the link to cleared out the
book is in the description box down
below bye bye sorry Joe
