hey sorry this is Alex and today I'm
starting a new series about something
that really really cheers me up and
pieces me off at the same time French
cuisine so before I start telling you
why and how I'm gonna tackle this
massive institution let me show you what
government so yes I do intend to change
the world with nothing but the
open-faced sandwiches or as we call them
tap teens over here I know it might
sound a bit foolish but that's my
mission it's foolish my mission or my
definition you don't tell me because I
know you don't wanna say foolish well if
you want to go straight to the first
episode and miss the whole purpose of
life at the same time then feel free to
do it hit the link otherwise let me give
you some context over the past five
years French cuisine has been on the
decline on an international scale and
although my friends in vice and in
France are massively denying it oh well
schooling is a conspiracy I did ask you
guys on social media to describe um
French cuisine with your own world and I
can only say it was a bit you know
disturbing delicious posh rich fancy
butter butter elegant authentic care so
I guess it's mainly good but French
comments kept aside it's not only
positive well I believe French cuisine
needs to reinvent itself trust me I
would love to make a revolution on my
own French guy cooking but you know I'm
just a humble home cook French guy
cooking so let's leave the gastronomy
and all that to the Michelin
star chef and just focus on daily French
food and I believe a tatin is a perfect
example of the
it should be healthy I mean we can't
continue ignoring all the obesity
problems and all the food related
disease happening in the world right now
French food needs to be more light you
know include more vegetables and maybe
less butter and cream I didn't say get
rid of those I just say hold the leash
tight second it should be doable
otherwise it's just some nonsense my job
is not to show you that I can cook is to
show you that you can cook so long dish
and other complicated recipes out three
French food should be open-minded
I mean tradition is essential very very
important but it should not prevent you
from using alternatives or ingredient
from different countries of different
cultures so might a teams will be 99%
French so far it should be Hannes I mean
true food like local simple with a touch
in like an open-faced sandwich there is
no place for you to hide behind
something fancy it's just a slice of
bread and a few ingredients let the
ingredient shine yep and finally five it
should be affordable very important
maybe the most important point for me
not because I'm tight but because I'm
cooking French food on a daily basis and
I can guarantee you absolutely guarantee
you that there is nothing posh snobbish
or expensive to it and just to make the
series a bit more challenging and
manning a few rules and also I will be
limiting the number of ingredients you
can use to make those type things or
open-faced sandwiches it goes like this
it's slice of bread mmm that's essential
otherwise it's not a tart in any more a
rub
not only garlic I promise a spread not
only better I promise
three main ingredients with at most one
rich and finally a drizzle of a sprinkle
of something
there will be meat fish and vegetarian
version of those open-faced sandwiches
but also gluten-free vegan raw you know
it's modern French food so guys that's
it for the introduction to that new
French series I hope you will like the
recipes and if you do like them then
make them at home cuz they are easy but
bold on flavors by the way the first
episode is online right now and it's
great pictures good I was about to say
great pitches cochise Nana goat cheese
grilled peaches and caramelized onion
and trust me it's absolutely baby take
care guys bye bye sir
