Скачать или смотреть Secrets of Precision Cooking & Culinary Philosophy | Chef David Breeden Returns

Chef David Breeden returns to break down the technical and philosophical foundations that separate line-level competence from true mastery. Former Head Chef of The French Laundry, Chef Breeden brings the perspective of a chef who has operated inside one of the most exacting three-Michelin-star environments on earth.

The discussion moves from classical fundamentals to advanced modern technique. Stocks, sauces, reduction work, precision heat control, gelling agents, sous vide logic, mise discipline at scale, ingredient-driven reasoning, and the sensory approach required to cook at the top level.

If you want a direct, technical understanding of what elite cooking actually requires, this is the episode.
