I guess it's the same idea as Thomas Keller's technique of adding drops of vinegar to different things. It's not like the amount of vinegar or cayenne can be necessarily tasted, but it does interface with ingredients and your taste buds to enhance the entire experience.

There's no Cayenne in Tabasco whatsoever. The use of Cayenne is purely a Belgian thing. The French don't use it, even though French Guyana (capital: Cayenne) is a French island. And neither does this John you morons keep queefing about.

Chef John is a good cook, but he deliberately dumbs himself down 9/10 times to appeal to the most inexperienced of chefs.
Occasionally he puts out a higher level video that shows he knows what he's talking about. But most of the time it's not hugely impressive. His real utility is being extremely comprehensive.

Lasgne:
- His ragu is nothing but mince meat, mushrooms and jarred tomato sauce; no hint of a sofrito, garlic, herbs, or anything to add any depth of flavour
- Instead of a bechamel sauce he uses some weird mix of ricotta (or "ricoda" as he calls it), mozzarella and egg yolk. I know this is common in America but no real chef would make lasagne this way
- The end result of the lasagne doesn't even look good
- Once again, let me remind you that he uses marinara sauce from a jar in his "recipe"

Shepherd's pie:
- He adds cinnamon (wtf), paprika and ketchup to the sauce
- He doesn't use worcestershire sauce, one of the main ingredients that makes it shepherd's pie
- He uses frozen carrots. I'm starting to think this guy doesn't even know what fresh vegetables are
- The finished sauce looks fucking disgusting
- He adds egg yolk (wtf) to the mashed potatoes
- He refers to an English dish as Irish. To put this in a way Americans can understand, imagine if you saw a European chef refer to cheeseburgers as Mexican. You'd think either he has no clue what he's talking about, or he knows but has chosen to lie for some reason.

I'm not too familiar with American cooking so maybe all of this is normal in America. But he completely butchers every recipe I've seen, and his version is always worse than the original.

Ricotta in lasagna comes from southern Italy, where it's entirely traditional. However, in that case, it's combined with meatballs and sometimes hard-boiled eggs.
American Lasagna combines the bolognese of the northern Italian version, with the ricotta and cheese of the southern Italian version.
John's bolognese was very mediocre, I agree.

Egg yolk is a fairly common addition to mashed potatoes, especially preparations that are going to be baked a second time.
>2235—POMMES DE TERRE MOUSSELINE
>Prepare a flawn-crust, baked without colouration.
>Meanwhile, bake a few Dutch potatoes in the oven ; withdraw their pulp ; season it with salt and white pepper, and work it over the fire with four oz. of butter and the yolks of two eggs per lb. of its weight. Add one-sixth pint of whisked cream, and set the preparation in the crust, shaping it like a dome. Decorate by means of a piping-bag, fitted with a grooved pipe, with some of the preparation which should have been put aside ; sprinkle with melted butter, and set to glaze quickly
Thats from Escoffier.

Instead of doing a few things well, he keeps churning out recipes in every category. He has plenty of half-assed mommy blogger shit and terrible ethnic recipes because he'd rather put out something bad than nothing. And he doesn't strip a recipe down to it's basics, he adds stupid ingredients like cayenne when msg or even a pat of butter would be better. I had some onions, carrots, and celery browning in the pot and they smelled divine after I threw in a little butter.
