OOPS ! You discovered my secret project !
2019 : Edit
NOW GUESS WHAT ? Since I made that page (2years ago),
I WROTE THIS COOKBOOK AND IT’s AVAILABLE ON AMAZON : Alex French Guy Cooking COOKBOOK
Now you have to leave a comment below if you like it 😉
Hi lovely friends of the French Guy Cooking. The title says it all : I am working on my very first cookbook. I want it to be mouthwatering of course, yet simple and very clear. There will be detailed recipes but also food related stories of my life, So that you get a chance to know me better.
The recipes will be way more detailed than my videos. The idea here is not only inspiration but also allowing to re-make it with ease. Here is the mockup of what will be a typical recipe in the cookbook ( click on the picture below for a sneak preview )
Typical organisation of a recipe (click)
I don’t know yet, if it will be an ebook, an ipad book or a real life book. The only thing I know is that it will include a lot of detailed recipes, with stories and photos. And of course a great amount of love.
The main idea is to make French Cooking easier for you guys. Straightforward & Fun instead of Posh & Overcomplicated. I am aiming at 80% of the result for 20% of the effort. ( Lazy ? nah…. ) I just think it’s the best way to get people into it.
I am also planning to include your most inspiring beautiful, interesting and useful comments. That could be really nice to have a bit of you in this book. Now, you know everything !

Heya! Love the idea of a cookbook. Just wanted to comment that a hardcopy book would be much better because I always end up splashing/spilling things onto my recipes when cooking them, and I’d rather not do that on an electronic device!!
Keep up the good work,
Georgina
Hi Georgina ! Thanks for the message, I do prefer the hard cover book as well
Cheers
Will your book come with a free Dutch Bakery Oven? ; )
Hey, Georgina, I do that too. So I saved a BIG zip-lock bag and I put the whole opened cookbook in it when I’m cooking from a cookbook. If from a small index card or just on paper, I slip the card or paper inside a sandwich size ziplock bag and then I don’t worry about splashing or moving it around the counter and getting it wet, etc.. Simple, but sure eliminates one little aggravationl.
Really clever Linda ! Gotta keep that in mind for my book
you have enough space for a music stand 🙂
Yes please make your book!
It reminds me of my first and still one of my favourite cookery books by Len Deighton, with it’s sensible graphic approach and making things easy. Real life cooking.
E or printed, I will buy it for sure!
Beautifully explained inspiring and mtersting nothing i can say more but a double thumns up
Well, i came here to see, if you already made one, so yeah, a cookbook from you would be really nice 🙂
I agree, a hardcover book is much easier to use while cooking. Spiral bound so it stays open is better yet.
Hardcover is better, agreed.
You know Id love to see a proper but quick and tasty , warming French Onion Soup and Coq au Vin!!!! Bring on the FLAVOUR!!!!! x
Hi Laura !
Onion soup will be in it ! Coq au vin ? Why not, the thing is is is not as popular as boeuf bourguignon here…but i will look into it
I’m just glad I clicked on the ‘don’t click here!”. I love your style and delivery in your videos and I trust that I would love your cookbook just as much. As for hardback or ebook. I use my ipad in the kitchen and love it. No major mishaps on it yet! Best of luck to you and I wish you great success!
Lynn
Hi Lynn ! thanks for your nice message 🙂
I love the idea and I’m all ” thubs up ” ! I wood like the book cuz your and exelnt cook and you give us great advise and you change my whole living! I’m 17 years old and I live alone! I get money from my mother but enought about me! If it wasant for you and your videos I wood still be a newbie at cooking ! I hope you fininsh your book in whatever format you like I’ll read it for sure!!
Hey Georg ! Good to hear that. stay tuned it will come out eventually 🙂
Hi, I do love this idea. Everyone will like your book. I prefer the hard cover book. Like that, we can keep it forever and cherish it.
Your videos are awesome and so interesting. I’m so impressed. Je suis japonaise. J’aime beaucoup vos videos.
I hope your big success.
Arigato Gozaiimasu ! Honto ureshi desu !
Thanks a lot for your message. 🙂
I love the idea of you publishing a cookbook. As a publisher myself, I would recommend that you make sure your publisher et al make your book available online and include video segments as an “online feature” that only people who have bought your book (either e-book or physical) can access.
On a personal note, I loved your Palak Paneer Pie video and 5 tips to avoid cutting yourself (or: How to cut yourself less frequently and less seriously…)
Excellent Crystal Rose ! That is a good tip indeed
I am often looking for more detail in a recipe, so I think that you have a great idea here. With physical, there is more of an…emotional value? But with digital there is the possibility for interactivity or increased portability.
If your book has the creativity or humour that you show in your videos, it will stand out from the rest (at least to me). Bon courage!
Agree !
Emotional is the thing ! You got me on this one Sophie 🙂
I love the idea of a cookbook, as long as you keep it the same style as your videos! 🙂 Trued your banana pancake recipe the other day and it was delish! Greetings from England!
Hi Sam ! Of course I will ;))))))
Offcourse I clicked!
Looks promising to me, you are quite creative, I like that.
I’m usually not much for cookbooks, I hardly ever make a recipee like it is pressented, always put my own twist on things but you even provide twists and that makes your book great for those days there is no idea to be found in my own head so I’d like to have it.. I think.. I wish you all the best with the making and publishing and all that..
(from the Netherlands)
You clicked because you are a true Rebel ! Like that ! Roger that anyway 🙂
Sounds like a fantastic idea to me!
Love that Zoe !
You are in science, right? This is why I love your style (I’m in science too)! I’m looking forward to your book. Definitely a hard copy would be better, and please keep the same approach you have on your channel! 😉
Science power ! Love that Sara
Love your easy yet rustic style of cooking also hard back books are the best for cooking!
Hard cover roger that Gibby !
I’m sure the cookbook will be a success. I’m anxiously waiting for it. Love the humor in your videos!
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
BRAZIOUUUUU
Thanks Andréa 🙂
Such an amaizing idea!!! Can’t imagine a better cook book than yours with all the humour and flair you already put into your videos! Got hooked from the first one.
Let me tell you I tried your quiche and pepper corn steak recipes and I was really amazed I could actually cook a really good meal! Thank you so much for the confidence boost!
So happy to be Confidence-boosting all the planet !
Thanks for that Cristina !
so so glad i found your you tube site…
i like the non classic approach to classic stuff …
Alex .. i wish you all the very best of luck in what you do …
count me in..
Hey Tony ! I am glad to have you in the community 🙂
Haha, clicked again, forgot about it (not about you making a cookbook, just that I know that from clicking when advised not to)
I love the book in advance and hope I’ll be able to get a copy, all the best for the making!
Hey Heleen ! Welcome again then !
I just HAD to click… glad I did!
I’m really loving the concept of the book, with all those details like interesting facts o recipe variations. I’m sure it will be as amazing, creative and unique as your youtube channel.
Maybe start with a “basics” section? Like what you must have in your kitchen, or maybe what you feel you can’t do without? I don’t know. Throwing ideas… this is exciting!
I like the hard cover book better, but maybe first a digital edition can be easier to get it out there. Also to have an idea as to how many copies you might need to print in your first edition. 100? 1000? A MILLION BOOKS!
Wishing you the best of luck from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Basics section could be a good idea. Cause, that’s true there are some requirements…
Hey, I’ve seen some of your Youtube videos and i like them totally. I also can say that a hardcover version would be nice. Because its not as easy to damage when you take the book on a travel.
I would buy your book. So i wish you the very best and maximum success
I would be pleased, glad and delighted to send one to you 😉
I think this is a great idea! I love watching your videos on YouTube and trying out the recipes. I think a hard copy of the book would be best. I tend to be a messy cook and most of my cookbooks and recipe cards have food stains on them because of it. I would most definitely buy your book though, no matter the format.
Yes, you are right, everyone here wants a hard copy too 😉 cheers
Love the idea! greetings from Colombia!
Colombia ? No way !!! Good to have you here mate 🙂
Great idea Alexis! Would be good to have little facts dotted throughout the book too, science stuff and the origins of the food 🙂 Are you going to be creating the book in hard copy or will it be an e-book? I’d buy the hard copy for definite! Best wishes from Ireland!
Hard copy I guess ! Because everyone seems to prefer the hard one. Of course there will be some amazing facts in it 😉
Love this idea and your videos, keep me posted on the updates! 🙂
I will ! Thanks for the lovely support 🙂
i love your cooks!! they are so friendly to those who are like me (-read: student)
looking forward to see more recipes from you
Plenty of recipes on my channel and many more to come in videos and in the book
Hey! I just love this idea! I have fun times watching your videos and I’m sure you’ll write this book with the same passion you make your videos.
One of these copies will be mine! haha
Greetings from Brazil!
MOUHAHAHAHA yeah One copy will be yours 😉
Add there the flan patissier 😀
MMMhhh flan patissier would a great add
I realy enjoy your way of cooking. Looking forward for your first book!
And it will come in a few months I guess. Happy to have you 🙂
Any news? Maybe a date when your cookbook will come? 🙂
Fantastic Youtube Channel- I love it!
I am impressing my Japanese fiancee here in Tokyo with your recipes…
Any chance at all of some Japanese food inspired recipes?
Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!
Simon
Nevermind- the Yakitori is great!
Thanks 🙂 And a huge classic of Japanese cooking is coming up ! Stay tune !
Your simplicity on always explaining with details with not rushing on cooking process and see you enjoyment of the final product is my inspiration to follow you ,I love to cook always for my family and friend .Since I start it watching your videos ,I have learn to slow down and put more enjoyable presentation on my process and if course learn and to pronounce Croissant.
Well, here we are the mischievous yet curious people ended up by clicking ‘dont click it’ link on your YouTube video and I’m glad to be here and knowing that you are going to launch a cook book project! I love all your works, and there’s nothing happier for a 21-yo International Affairs’ student in hectic days than got a bunch of useful videos either funny tho to kick up her food supply not getting wasted because I do cook rarely, so that I’ve found easy ways to cook finally by myself. Keep one copy for me, I’d love to have shipping one of them 🙂
Keep it up! Hugs from Indonesia xxxx
I will keep one for you I promise ! Great to have you on board Ann ! Hugs from France 🙂
I hope your cooking book would be like binder, because more easy to open and see while cooking. With explanation about cooking equipments and your amazing tips, history of the foods, plus lot of illustrations and pictures. Please let us know if you are going to publish your cooking book.
Hi Agnieschka ! Don’t worry it will be with Everything in it ! Every little piece of me ( curious, fun, weird, chatty etc…) will be in it ! Love
Dear Alex, the cookbook is a great idea, I love your videos and your recipes! Will you do some sweet treats, like mousse au chocolat?
Please make your book available on Amazon so I can get hold of it down here in Germany 🙂 Salut!
Hi Hanna ! Of course it will be available on Amazon. it’s the only way to reach the international family.
Hi Alex,
I just discovered your channel today, while looking for a recipe of tikka massala. And I cooked it! Turned out amazing! thanks a lot! Also I like your positive attitude 🙂 I’ll check your other videos for sure.
Regarding the cook book, I think tikka massala should definitely be in it!
Good luck! 🙂
Galyna
Hey Galyna, Thanks a lot for your positive and refreshing energy ! love that ! love that ! love that !
hi and oops, i clicked where says “don’t click” :D. cook book sounds nice :). without jamie’s food tube i would not have seen you and now i almost want to try every dish you make :D. looking forward the book :). ~Jade.
Hi Jade ! That’s so nice of you 🙂 I am working hard on it and will let you know as soon as it go public ! Alex
Ciao Alex 🙂
I’m glad to click on that clever, but fun corner of your video to find out this great news. I hope the cookbook will be in English. I will be very happy if you consider a recipe from Pakistan. There are plenty of dishes to choose from (from simple to complex). On this web page (http://www.pukkapaki.com/) you can find some very nice authentic dishes. The most exciting part will be to see how you will put your signature twist on any of the recipes (I love that about you). All the best 🙂
Hey Ayisha ! Thanks a lot for your nice comment 🙂
i would love to do a Pakistani dish ! Which one are you suggesting ?
Hey man.
Awesome idea to write a cookbook.
There’s some Brazilian influence on French cuisine?? I know the opposite has.
Brazilian cooking is very inspirational ! I am planning on doing Brazilian dishes very soon 🙂
Hey Alex,
I’ve been following french guy cooking for a while. I’m a huge fan, though I normally watch the youtubes on my phone so missed this link till now.
You can definitely count me in for buying a copy of your book. I’ve been recommending your cooking channel to my friends so will deffo do the same with the book.
I really like that you’re going to have suggested substitutions with your recipes, you don’t see that in enough cookbooks.Having that shows that a recipe isn’t something that has to be followed letter-by-letter, its really a guide that you can work around. Hopefully that’ll help your readers get more creative in the kitchen themselves.
Anyway, hope the book’s a success.
Much love.x
Hey Thom ! That is a great comment you left.
I like to inspire people, no to dictate to them.
I will let you know as soon as the book goes public 🙂
support much appreciated ! Much love.. alex
Salut Alex,
First off, let me say that I love your videos! I once used to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but university marked the end of it. Thankfully, you’ve made me regain interest in getting back in there and cooking creatively (à la joie de mes collocs) and I now pretty much make everything I eat, from the meals themselves to all the clever condiments (your mnemonic chilli sauce recipe is genius). I’m trying to follow your example and be creative, so I’ve started inventing some fun twists on classics, like garlic home-made mayonnaise, pickles and my own weird tomato chutney. All thanks to you!
But I digress. Back to the cookbook! I think it’s a fantastic idea, and a nice way to take advantage of a format other than video. I particularly like that you are including allergy/intolerance alternatives, as well as some “ersatz” for the ingredients that are harder to find, and some technical tips.
I was thinking, maybe you could have a “préface” of some sort where you can put your thoughts on the different types of taste, and, more importantly, some examples of ingredients that blend well together? Une espèce de palette/guide pour les accords de couleurs, mais appliqué aux saveurs et aux ingrédients? Ca pourrait peut-etre donner aux lecteurs la confiance/point d’appui necessaire pour qu’ils se lancent et inventent leur propres recettes et leur propres “twists”. Un peu comme les petites roues du vélo, quoi!
Dis-moi ce que tu en penses! Et en tout cas, merci pour les vidéos.
Ciao!
PS: Sorry to the other readers for the French spill at the end, my point seemed easier to make in our common language :/
I really like your idea of the Préface. It seems important to me to speak about things I care about. (génial les petites roues du vélo)
Ciao and thanks for your lovely comment friend !
Hey Alex,
I quit like your turn on posh cooking recipes ( one with a beer cooler particularly ).
Could you try some of Croatian cousin? It’s a mixture of mid european, eastern and Mediterranean cousin. Also we have lot of indigenous species of stock and game.
Best of luck with your book!
Hey Kresimir ! I went to Croatia and I love it ! Which recipe are you thinking about ?
Octopus under the lid is my favorite national dish. Another great national dish is roasted duck stuffed with buckwheat, chopped liver and bacon.
Hey Alex,
I’m addicted to you and your videos – you must do more than one a week, please! Good luck with your book project, I’m sure it will be a big success! I am half Scottish/half Turkish and I absolutely love pide and lamacun – I wonder if you could do a twisted version sometime! All the best, Selcuk
Selcuk ! Yeah I absolutely love lamacun and pide and I hate so many of them in the past. I am so willing to make a twist on this ones 🙂
Thanks friend ! Alex
Hey Alex, great idea with the cookbook! I’d love a hardcopy as well (and might even be able to purchase one on amazon.de) but for all the people out there without access to a retailer, keep that ebook in mind and sell it directly to them (via your web page), without the restrictions of a huge reseller (who will only sell it to certain regions etc…).
I recently backed a nice movie and did not get to see it with in the preview screening, as only the States and the UK were allowed to 🙁
So do it like Louis CK and sell it (the electronic version) directly to all the world 😉
Oh, and include the ghetto sous vide – a friend of mine tried it and it really works great!
I love your idea. It seems so right !
I might do it as you said, cause it inspired me.
Glad the ghetto sous vide worked as well 🙂
Alex
Your videos have been very inspiring! For a long time I have dreaded cooking, it felt like an overwhelming chore. You have given me somewhere to start and have fun making delicious food! It helps a lot that you give tips for keeping it simple. I am getting brave and trying new things and am definitely eating more regularly than I used to. I would love a copy of your cook book, preferably ebook or ipad book but willing to do hard copy if need be because I am just that excited for your book.
Also thank you so much for making and sharing your videos and letting your wonderful personality shine through, it is greatly appreciated. 🙂
Hey Jessica ! So nice to read your comment ! It’s so inspiring to see that I share those values with you. I ll let you know when the ebook goes public for sure.
Much love , Alex
I would like to see a simple recipe for a loaf of bread. A loaf that can have multiple uses from breakfast through dinner and beyond. Maybe you have one already? Maybe it is too simple ? I am not sure but just thought I would throw it out there. I have really enjoyed your videos and hope to continue into the future. I almost forgot, maybe some more fish or seafood dishes too?
Hey Alex,
Thank you so much for the GREAT videos you share with us. You always make me smile when watching them. They are really interesting and thanks too you super easy :))
Wish you all the best with your first book and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last.:))
Hey Alex,
Thank you so much for the GREAT videos you share with us. You always make me smile when watching them. They are really interesting and thanks too you super easy :))
Wish you all the best with your first book and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last :))
I can’t wait for your cookbook, Alex! I would love for you to try a gluten-free baguette. I know it’s sort of sacrilegious to ask a Frenchman to consider that, but if anyone can do it, I think you can! Keep on rocking…we love you!
all the best mate….
i do have my order for u to cook..:P…..main thing i want in ur book is gyro .. a home made one if possible… and some deshi food like birayani …. there is one variety u must try ..kachhi birayini.. found in bangladesh….
by the way i am from sub continent… u might not seen real tasty food unless u stay with a deshi cook nd live a deshi life for few months…. just food for thought… we dont let anything come in between our food … hence we eat with our hand..:D.. salut
I think the idea is awesome!!! I also think it should be a real tangible cook book. Being able to touch and look through the final product would be super cool!! The recipes listed sound very international. It’s like taking a trip around the world with food recipes!!! Best of luck!!! I’m excited about this book!!!! 🙂
J’achète le livre à sa sortie! C’est nickel 🙂
Me gusta ser tu primer comentario en Spanish. Me encantan tus vídeos,inspiradores. Soy vegetariana y siempre encuentro un twist en tus recetas. El mundo vegetariano es mas que lechuga, tu le das una nueva dimensión. Espero el libro!!! Cuenta conmigo, Besitos

I like the Idea of a Cookbook in that nonchalant Style of yours. So please create it. And i like Books i can really touch, so make it please a real Book.
You go Frenchie! 🙂 I want it as soon as it comes out!
Hey, Alex! How are you?
What about a crowdfunding project for your hard cover book?
You’re awesome!
Greetings from Brazil!
Man ! Thant’s a great idea ! Do you think it could work ?
I’m totally sure it will work! what if you do a post on your blog with this idea, and know what is the interest of your subscribers?
If you do that, i will totally support you!
I’m waiting for it!
Hey Alexis.
This sounds pretty good 🙂
I must admit you are my favorite chef. You are passionate like Gennaro Contaldo, you cook good like Jamie Oliver and you are also a really good entertainer!
Summed up: People love watching your videos, buddy!
The weather in Germany isn’t really good right now.. sooo I hope some of those recipes are going to light up my day and make life a little spicier 😀
Bless you!
Hey Vlorat !
Your comment is a blessing ! There will be some good comforting recipes for sure in this book. See you 🙂
This is an awesome idea. Your recipes are so cool.
🙂 Thanks Mad
I would love a paper back copy, if you will please
i would love the idea of a cookbook.
My hearing isnt exactly the best, so having written info would be really useful.
Everything will be written. Ingredients, easy to follow instructions and even some alternatives as well…
The cookbook is an incredible idea!
Hope you will keep the same “humor” approach on your cookbook as well.. 😀
I would definitely love to see you re-creating more French cuisines cos you make things look so simple… Like Ratatouille, Soupe à L’oignon, Sole Meunière, Flammekueche, etc…
That’s exactly what I am working on !
Boom !
Hi Frenchie,
Of course you should make a book, I said so ages ago!
Best wishes for your project, I like hardbacked cookbooks.
I’m sure it’ll be great.
Good to have you here Craig !
Of course you should publish a hard copy cookbook, my dear boy. You and your channel are magnificent! I have made many of your recipes and they are always great. I wish it were already here, I would give them away as Christmas gifts. Keep up the good work, you brighten my day and those of so many others.
Hey Nancy, Thanks for your brilliant message ! Your comment is brightening my day as well
I would love a cookbook from you! Love the twists, the cheats and all the geeky informations about the recipes. And you should not hold on to french recipes, your twists on dishes from other countries are the best! Why not include drinks as well? Or at least give a recomendation on what to drink with each meal.
Congratulations on your YouTube channel, love the videos and keep up the good work!
Best wishes from Brazil! 😉
Braziouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Thanks a lot for that, i’ll let you know as soon as it comes out 🙂
if you are looking for a food stylist, I am your man (girl I meant).
email me if you need help on that subject.
looking forward to see this project starting.
adl
Why not ! Where you at ? email me so we can talk further more
J’aimerai ça!!!! Il faut aussi des nouveaux recettes, mais je pense que ce n’est pas un problème pour toi 😉
Ça va être génial!!!!! 🙂
(oh and please don’t judge me because of my terrible french :D, my mother tongue is german…)
No judging here ever ! It’s gonna be epic !
Love the idea of you doing a cookbook, I have cooked loads of your recipes & my daughters go mad for the croquet Monsieur (twisted version of course).
A must buy if you publish a book.
Cheers
A must buy ? Yeah ! love that sound !
Hi, Alex! I would love to own a hardcover copy of your cookbook. I love your Youtube channel and have learned so much from watching. The thing I love most about you is that you take the fear and intimidation out of cooking, which has always been a problem for me. I’m always afraid I’m going to mess things up, but your approach has helped a lot!
Cooking Fear and intimidation are my worse enemies. I’ll fight for you guys 🙂
Salut Alex, un livre de recette serait une super idée..
Et même un pti gars du sud de la France t’en courage dans cette aventure!!
Bonjour Alex! I am so excited of the idea of your cookbook. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos, and it’ll be even greater to have detailed recipes that I can follow at my own (slow) pace. I love the smell of books, so I’d buy the hardcopy, but I’d also get the ebook so that I can bring it with me on the go! I have the habit of looking up recipes for dinner as I’m commuting home from work. Please include the awesome “twists” of recipes, I love them! My selfish request is to make more dairy-free twists since I can’t eat dairy… Bon succès pour ton livre, et j’ai trop hâte au lancement! ~Beaucoup d’amour et d’encouragement de Montréal!
Merci !!!!! Ca me touche beaucoup ton message ! Goes directly to my heart 🙂
Hey,
I love your Finnish Karelian pastry and Shrimp Banh Mi Youtube video. If you can make your cookbook project that consists of recipe for guys like me to learn how to cook meals and bake with detailed but simple steps, I would love to buy your cookbook. Keep up with your work and follow your plan.
Good luck!
I am glad you liked those. Detailed and simplified recipes, with twists and cheats here and there, this will be my book 🙂
Would love to have a real book by you in my hands!
Working on it 🙂
I really like your take on recipes. I hope it will be an ebook and not the ipad version, because I want to buy it but I don’t own any apple products!Good luck man!
Roger that 🙂 Thanks for the good energy
Wow, i am really looking forward to this, all the scrumptious, mouth-watering, delicious dishes that will be in your book. When this is published i will buy it straight away and enjoy these amazing dishes, i hope it’s a hardcover cooking book because it gives it a premium feel.
I believe it will be Hardcover IRL book ! and also an e-version
Cheers
Hi Alex. I will be super super hyper quadruple excited for your cookbook and I would really love to buy it someday (like definitely). Good luck!
YEAH ! I am quintuple happy for that 🙂

Great idea! I will be first in line at my local bookshop when this comes out (as I’m sure it will): your passion for food never fails to brighten my day, and the different angles you find to approach a recipe from are truly inspiring. Thank you so much for all the work you put in. 🙂
Tom
My pleasure ! I love making recipes and turning them into funny and helpful videos for you guys ! It’s a joy !
Salut, Alex! Great idea mate, i’d definitely buy your cookbook. Discovered your youtube channel today, and im feeling inspired. Especially tempted to try the french onion soup
Go for it Callum ! Wish you luck but you don’t need so much to do it… it’s easy 🙂
Hi Alex! What a great idea — wishing you the best of luck 🙂 Are you looking for recipe testers, by any chance? There’s nothing I love more than cooking!

Hi Lisa ! I am the most happy man on earth when you guys are making the recipes from my videos 🙂 Go rock the kitchen
You are such an amazing inspiration for cooking! I enjoy watching you for your recipes and ideas and also for your humor and ability to make me laugh! Keep up the great work Alex!
I would absolutely love to see a hard cover recipe book with all of your amazing and cool recipes and tricks!
Hi Solange ! Your message is so nice, it’s pumping me up with good vibes 🙂 I’ll let you know as soon as something’s out !
I would love the cookbook. Like others I would prefer (and would buy) a hardcopy of the book. But if it can’t be sent to the US easily then an ebook is good too. — Or maybe I will just have to travel to Europe to get it as a real book. I’m sure my husband would think that is a valid excuse to go 🙂 .
Hello Jennifer ! Ahaha you are welcome in France any time, but considering my strongly-international-family, my cookbook will be available everywhere !
Salut Alex! Best of luck with your wonderful cookbook project! You are lovely, fun and a true inspiration >:)<
Cannot wait to see the book and make the dishes!
Luvz
Hello loana ! Thanks for the good energy 🙂 Luvz too
You’re writing a recipe book? Congratulations!! I have always wanted to do that 😀 I will definitely be buying it when it comes out. Love your work!
Hi Kenz ! Oh yes I am working hard to make a beautiful and bit-different cookbook. Hope you will like it guys and thanks a million for the support
Salut! great videos on youtube and great idea for your own project 🙂 we will support it as we can but just wanted to comment that if it’s going to be only a paper book edition, I will definitely miss your … French-guy-cooking accent 🙂 so, if there is going to be a digital version, make sure you attach few jokes as mp3 or something…
Hey Irina ! You are so right ! What could be french cooking without the mighty french accent ?
I like the idea of a hard copy cookbook . I would definitely purchase it as you are funny and inspirational cooking wise. Plus I hear you are an engineer and that’s always a bonus.
Cheers
Hi Callum ! Yes I was trained as an Engineer and I believe it gave me a certain sense of organization 🙂 I’ll let you know as soon as I got news

Love the idea of a cookbook! Would save me scribbling down notes as I am looking at the videos! 🙂
Will be visiting Paris in May/June for a couple of weeks. Taking a few classes this time around.
Looking forward to it and also hearing more about your “secret project.”

Hey Cindy ! Love your message, and I tend to go for the hard copy myself as well, cause I love scribbling on it like you 🙂
OMG ALEX!!! I kid you not I was just thinking after watching you Bart that you both need to make a cookbook! Please include your pancake recipe, it was the 1st recipe that inspired me to make something normally bought in box , at home! Also I hope this comes out as an actual book so I can hold it in my hands! Good Luck dude!
Makes me so happy to see that I inspire people to cook 😀
Brooke, I’ll let you know when the book gets out 🙂

Please get this cookbook out ASAP. Frenchguycooking- the best 😀
Oh oh oh thanks Ayan ! working on it, but I want it to keep up with the standards so it takes time and efforts 🙂 I ‘ll you know as soon as it gets out

Yessss !!!!
& félicitations !!!
A proper hard copy book please, I wouldn’t like to take an ipad into the kitchen – I’m a little too flamboyant with my stirring for that. Also I can make my own notes on a hard copy 🙂
I get it 🙂 also “too flamboyant with my stirring” might be my expression of the month 🙂
Hey Alex,
Just wanted to first say how awesome (and usually hilarious) your videos are. Been following you for a while now, and have been trying out your recipes along the way. I must say that the best part about your recipes is the “twist” portion (tomato tartare ftw) so I’d like to see that highlighted in your upcoming book. Maybe place the original recipe on one page and use the entire backside for the twist (along with some background as to how you arrived at this idea, and maybe what types of people it would be good for?).
Best of luck to you
Hi Neel ! I guess you are right, the twist brings a lot of personality to the dish. I’ll keep that in mind 🙂
Salut Alex!
Please make this happen, I’m super-excited for a cookbook from you! 😀 As a student and still kindoff novice in the kitchen, your twists and cheats are both economical and inspirational. You are by far my favourite Youtube-cook, and I look forward to the book!
Hi Anton ! I love the the fact that you are a student but still you are willing to cook for yourself 🙂 I ‘ll let you know as soon as it gets out
hey alex, good luck with the cookbook! looking forward to it. hoping there will be a few vegan recipes!
Salut Alex!
I think you of all people should make a cookbook. Your sense of humour and ability to twist things for the better is just genius and I would love to see it in print. I mean I use your all your videos collectively as a cookbook so… Why Not?
I would love to have this in my life. I like to watch recipes on youtube because you can rewind it as many times as needed, but sometimes you just want disconnect and cook and read, so a hardcover book would be wonderful. Love the channel and your cooking.
Saludos desde México 😀

We love your videos Alex!! You make delicious food and your funny personality got us hooked!! This cookbook will be gold (okay maybe it’s probably made of paper) but symbolically it’s gold! Haha keep up this channel – we love it!!

(The Vegsters on Youtube)
By the way, we love the idea of the book being a hard paper copy! So excited!! 🙂
Hey Alex!
First of all I’d like to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I can tell that you have a great knowledge about cooking, yet you succeed not to be stiff or too formal! I love the fact that your recipes are so doable and fun!
Now about the cookbook, what can I say, I’m an old school girl and I would definately prefer a hard covered book!
I always speak in a French accent while making your recipes so the results are perfect!
I wish you to always be as creative and charming as you are now!
Love from Greece,
Nandia
I think a cookbook would be really great.
I enjoy watching your videos very much and the recipes look so simple and fun to make 🙂

I love your way of cocking! I have watched all your videos at Youtube, they are perfect. Can’t wait for you to release your cockbook. You made cocking fun, easy, unsophisticated & beautiful.
Merci, salute and bye bye 🙂
Hey I recently subscribed, but I think it’d be a great idea! I would definitely be interested.

I really love your idea for this cookbook! It is really the kind of book I need! I especially like the details about cooking time, difficulty, and not to mention variations! It’s really good to have options! I would definitely want to buy this book!
You DEFINITELY need to write this book! It will be a blockbuster
Hi Alex! I really love your videos and recipes. And I love the idea of you making your own cookbook. I love French Food a lot. And your Boeuf Bourguignon recipe is what I often cook. I’m a very visual person. I can easily memorize the ingredients and procedure, when I’m seeing it literally with my own eyes. But I love the old school made of paper kind of book as well. But when it comes to cooking i prefer using my iPad or laptop and watch videos. Which I have already mentioned. But I’m really excited for your cookbook. Can’t wait to grab one! Maybe not only one. Already thinking of giving it to my family and friends as a present. Why not! Anyway, I wish all the best and thank you for all your videos.
Hello from India!
Abhishek here. Love the stuff on Youtube. And I believe that’s exactly how your book should be: Conversational, quippy, honest and funny.
Don’t over-think it. You are simple and talented, let the book show that. 🙂
Go for the ebook variants first and if they catch on, which I’m positive they will, go for the good stuff: Hard cover!!
Wishes and Regards,
Abhi
Hey Alex,
I’ll buy any cookbook you put your name on! 🙂
Make it a hardcover, pls.
Roland
Hey Alex,
First of all I love your idea of a cook book.
I personally love the french cuisine. Maybe you could do the classic versions and also a twisted version next to it. (as you always do :))
When do you think to publish it??
many thanks to your efforts!!
bye
Hey Alex!
If you could pass that spirit you have in the videos to a cookbook, I would buy it, for sure! I’m from Brazil, and I can tell you have some flexibility , just like us! That makes me watch your videos and try your recipes. Go for a hardcover!
Salut
Great channel. I would definitely buy a cookbook from you and I’m already inspired to cook something good. 😉
A hardcover would be awesome.
Hey Alex
you were the first person that I watched on foodtube your food is so amazing though you are a selftrained chef .
At the beginning I thought “In which brilliant restaurant is he working”.
The idea of making a cookbook is awesome this will really bring out your attitude to food
PS: I’m 15 years old
Je croi que tu auras beaucoup de succes
Salut
i never bought a cook book. But I would definitely buy urs and help you out in every way I can. You are a nice guy Alex and a good chef, I love the freshness and the new type of cooking you bring to the table.
Keep it up, and I wish u all the best.
we are with we every step of the way.
cheers
Hello Alex 🙂
I stumbled upon your channel today and totally LOVE your videos! (I finished almost all of your videos today ;D) I am thrilled to know that you are thinking about publishing a cookbook! I will be happy and honored to buy it! A hard copy will be great, but a ebook version will also be good for casual reading! 😉 Your “twists” ideas seemed somehow too daunting for me at first, yet after some time, your ideas give me a brand new perspective toward those recipes that originally seems very hard to me. Anyway, all I want to say is that I absolutely appreciate your efforts! Please keep doing this amazing work! And I hope I can buy this amazing cookbook in the near future! 😀
Greetings from Taiwan,
Angel
Salut Alex,
Just dropping by to say that, like everyone else in the comments, I think this cookbook is a /fantastic/ idea, since it’s definitely easier to follow than constantly watching and rewatching a video (which is doubly difficult while you’re cooking). Also, I think your best bet would be to go hardcover, but also make it available on a digital format to appeal to both tradition lovers and techies.
Also, I just want to day that I simply adore how simple yet tasty your recipes are!! Cooking them has given me so much confidence in my own abilities, and has given me the added benefit of impressing my French teacher :D.
I hope to see this cookbook come into fruition with love and patience.
Love from America!
— Shanon
p.s. my personal favorite recipes to add to this book would be for macarons and choux a la creme, if you can manage ^^;
I’ve been watching your videos the past few weeks and I’m already a much better cook.
Write it either way, hard back or ipad, love your vids and your sous vide steak is awsome. I some times I finish on my Komodo Kamado, but the blow torch is a kick for my quests.
Keep the recipes coming!
I’m definitely interested if this book comes out. Thanks, you have an awesome channel.
Can you include some Moroccan inspired cuisine in the book? I noticed when i was in Paris there were so many delicious Moroccan dishes there.
Oh yeah, and you’ve done some some recipes which incorporate boeuf bourguignon but you never actually taught us how to make the “boeuf bourguignon” itself.
PS: I’ve impressed a lot of people by following your recipes, nobody could believe it.
Cheers,
Tommy
Hi Alexis! Big fan of your passionate, crazy, fun-filled and delicious videos! A cookbook sounds amazing!! 😀 😀 Keep up the amazing stuff you’re doing!
Sam
Amazing recipes thus far mate! Keep it up, and a hardbook cover would not be so bad.
Hi my lovely Alex!
I’m totaly freakin’ happy about your book!!! I know that you are let’s say “geek” and you care about organisation (even just sometimes)… But I’m praying about your book… (cuz I’m sure I’ll by it! even it wouldn’t be in Poland…but i wish i would:)) I’m prayingthat it’ll be perfectly ORGANISATED! You know what I mean? It should be comfortable to use in kitchen… nice organisated chapters etc.
I’m waiting for your Cook book..
I love ya my favorite Frenchie :3
Yea u should publish a hard cover cook book.like who doesn’t love the smell of a new book.
Hi Alexis your idea of a cookbook is amazing and will be a major success I’m sure. Your so fun and have an amazing personality and your videos always make me laugh. You are without doubt the best chef on YouTube even better than Jamie Oliver.
I wish you all the best on this new venture and good luck with the future:):)
Maria
I love the idea of you making a cookbook, I’m french and live in Argentina and I use lots of your tricks to get the recipes made faster but with the original taste, you’re very creative! Love the croque monsieur sticks and the crazy sous-vide steak (I still have to try that last one though!!!!). Good luck!! xx
Hi Alex! A cookbook sounds like a really good plan! I would love to buy a cookbook made from you!
I hope you make it with the same humor that you have in the videos and that you use the same twists och simplicity.
Dont think anymore about doing it, just do it!!
I kind of miss having the recipes, after I watched your videos, to use when I´m cooking myselt. So a cookbook would be great!
For me it doesnt matter what material you use, because I think that a cookbook with staines on it just makes it look real and beautiful!
Keep up the good work, and please give us more videos!! 🙂
One word: yes! Do it! Go for it.
This is so swell! I’m all ready to preorder it! Oh, I do hope that it will be a real book!
Would definitely buy this cookbook!
Hi, Alex!
Love your videos! I’m all for a hardback cookbook. It would be great if you had lots of vegetable recipes. I can’t get enough of them.
Hi Alex.
I’ve been watching your video’s on YouTube and you have some brilliant ideas on tasty food. But although your (posh) French accent is sometimes (not all the time) a bit hard to follow, I bet reading your genius in a cook book will be fantastic!
I live in New Zealand, so here’s hoping your passion can deliver far south.
By the way. Reading the first lot of comments back in Jan 2014, if I’m a whole 15+ months late and you have this cook book available already, could you please let me know.
Thanks!
Hi Alex! I think you could make a really amazing cookbook! Part of what I like most about your cooking videos is that you make French cooking really understandable and approachable! For example, in your Hawaiian Glazed Ham burger video you describe the mint as “finely chopped” instead of calling it a chiffonade, which I think helps people who are new to French cooking understand it easier, especially when they don’t speak French! I look forward to your cookbook Alex, and I wish you all the best in life!
– Jessica
I have no doubt that your cookbook will be a success no matter what form it comes out in! Perhaps one suggestion I have is to add on Vegan/Vegetarian options to the recipes. I love all of your videos and I take inspiration from them by switching up a few things to make them suit my Vegan lifestyle. One thing a lot of strictly Vegan cookbooks lack is flavor and “pzazz” in their recipes, but you have it all! I put my trust in you with this project to do what you think is right – no matter the outcome people will be buying it in spades!
I would love to have a cookbook like this! I just recently found your channel and, with a French boyfriend, I feel the pressure from his family to learn how to prepare more French dishes. Your recipes and videos are fabulous and easy to follow! I’d love to have a cookbook on hand. 🙂
A physical book would be splendid, though you can’t put videos in it for complicated stuff :(. A QR Code to a YouTube video would be a solution.
No matter what format, it needs good photos and loads of them.
Good Luck.
Hi Alex
I’m thoroughly enjoying your pizza odyssey videos as I myself have been trying to replicate the perfect pizza at home for a couple of years now!
Love your steel slab idea and I wanted to do it myself but I can’t find any site in the net that you can buy one from. Any recommendations?
Can’t wait for a book, by the way! Really enjoyed your recipes!
Au revoir!
Richard
That’s a great idea! I would love to buy your book! However, just an idea, it would be cool if you kept a little of your Frenchy vibe through the writing… Like not being a perfect translation from French to English because pearaonally I think that that is almost part of your comedic style with your YouTube and social media and stuff.
Really looking forward to it whatever it comes out like!
Hi Alex,
Many thanks for inspiring me to start cooking more often. In the past, I was always messing about cooking and baking in the kitchen, but life sort of got in the way and I sort of fell into bad for me convenience foods (BLEK!)…You inspire me to get back to the kitchen. I love your fun cooking style and video presentations, hints/tips, and of course, your humor!!! Stay safe, healthy, and encouraged!
Love, Prayers, and Blessings,
Julie ,USA
Love the idea.
I particularly like the idea of having the technical tips in the book (with great drawings)
I enjoy the science and technique that you share in your videos.
Keep Cooking

I love your videos so I can’t wait for a cookbook! I really like the detail that your ‘draft’ picture has. Details like the amount of time it takes to make and number of servings etc are really important to me because without them I can’t plan my meals. I also love a little line about the origin of the recipe because it feels like we are all sharing an on-going food story together that always had a happy ending because we get to eat! Good luck with the project! 🙂
Hi Alex
I really like your videos,there are some brilliant ideas in there,
I definitely will buy your cookbook once it comes out,
Just don’t forget to put that quiche and French King Cake recipes in your book 😛
Best wishes with your project!
Hi Alex! I think a real life fe book would be awesome, throw your humour into it as well as your love. I love working with dough, can you have some dough recipes in it? Take care!

This looks great already, i really hope it’ll hit the shelves!

Frusen Gladje used to sell a flavor called Mocha Chip, which seems basic, but it tasted so delicious. I liked it because the coffee flavor wasn’t too strong and the frozen bits of chocolate were yummy. I haven’t tasted anything like it since. It doesn’t sound very exotic, but if done right, it can be. Maybe use an Ethiopian coffee flavor? Turkish?
i’m sure your book look will be a best seller, you should do both, hard cover and ebook. but the real reason i decided to write my comment (i don’t usually do hahaha) is to thank you because you make me love cooking, i never use my kitchen before hahahaha THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙂 right from Nicaragua, you should google it you might find interesting dishes hahaha
Hi, Alex,
It is the first time I get to know a foodtuber that convinces me that I can make every single recipe they present. I think the simplicity and the ease of your instructions would be a incredible to put in a book. I would buy one for me, and my friends, and my family, hahaha By the way. I hope you get to know the Brazillian cousine and enjoy it.
Love,
Nat
This cookbook looks amazing. Please don’t leave out anything from that structure, it’s what I have always dreamt of about cookbooks! As it might be hard to achieve a good layout with all those information going, some publishers might actually ask you to leave something out, but please don’t! Talk, discuss, look for another one, but please don’t give up on it. Giving anyone the chance to try your recipes, despite their ability in the kitchen, food restrictions or whatever, is a basic aspect of your channel and one of the reasons I like it so much. Keep up the good work!
I would love a cookbook! Hopefully with a lot of french recipes 🙂
Hey Alexis! Just found out about you, like 10min ago, but you’re awesome, cooking book idea seems great, go for it! whoop whoop !
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I started watching you on YouTube because of your videos on Jamie Oliver’s site. I have to say I am already hooked. I am having my two best girlfriends over for dinner on Saturday night, and I am making a FRENCH FEAST! So I am perusing your website looking for your French Onion Soup recipe, and found out about your cookbook.
CANNOT WAIT!!! =D
Love that idea, you sweet Frenchie! Been watching you since you joined FoodTube. Your recipes are just so practical and super tasty! I assume, it is better to have a real book in our hands, so that we can keep it for years.
Hi Alex,
I really really love your channel and I keep watching over and over your videos even I can’t make most of them. You are so funny and smart 😀 I love the idea that you make a cook book (real book, right?), a pic of you as a bookmark would be wonderful hehe…
Much love :*
Sounds like a great idea! I love your channel, and you’re not only great at cooking, but hilarious!! A cookbook would be really neat.
Great Idea. You’ve Got Great Spirit – good luck.
Yes!! Make it available to ship to Asia too please and thank you!!1!
Started watching your videos a couple of months ago, and I just feel like they have helped me a ton. Your videos are always interesting and fun to watch. It’s really great watching you, because you are just so innovative, talented and your instructions are easy to follow. I’m in my teens and I’m aspiring to become a chef, your videos have had great effect on me and I think a cookbook could inspire many more. I really hope you finish this cookbook someday!
Greetings Alex
First off, YOU ROCK! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now – and they are amazing! Awesome recipes, humor, and creativity. You’ve got it all, and that’s what makes you my favorite and ”go-to” cooking channel. Your cookbook will be brilliant, and i can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Hola Alex!
Don’t forget to publish an ebook version 😉 it’s the future
(By the way I can make it for you
Salut!!
^,^
Salut Alex! Tres bonne idée de faire un cookbook. J’ai adore tes crepes et comme j’adore la cuisine française mais je n’arrive pas toujours à reproduir les recettes, je suis ton projet avec grand intéret!
Salut!
10/10 would buy.
Hey Alex,
I think creating a cookbook would be a wonderful idea. Your creativity and unique artistic style would make a for a lovely finished product I’m sure! Also, coming from the diverse educational background you do, I think many people will be able to relate to you and will learn from your advice. Keep up the great work. Salut!
Hi Alex,
I really love your videos and how you make them funny without making them stupid and manage to teach us the good stuff in an easy way. Best of luck with your book (I think both hard cover and ebook also……maybe an app? would be best) and may your life be filled with happiness. 🙂
Keep up the FUNtastic work
God Bless!

Alex –
Love your youtube channel, and especially the videos made with Le Parfait products! Our suggestion for the cookbook would be TONS of beautiful imagery with your recipes showcased with Le Parfait jars, terrines, and jam pots!
It would be THE PERFECT match for French Guy Cooking!
Thanks, BN
Oh, I love the thought of a French Guy Cooking cookbook! The fact that you have alternatives to some ingredients is great, I love your style of doing things and your videos always make me feel good (and slightly hungry). I love that fact that you embrace your culture, but also try to de-stress some of the harder recipes. I can not wait to see the book in whatever form it will come. Cheers, from Romania
I’d be so happy if you have your own cookbook 🙂 I’m so glad that you are making videos for us.You inspire me so much.Watching your videos from Slovakia <3
So glad to see genuine passion for life and food, you are truly a beautiful person who has a great sense of humor and understanding for what is most valuable in our short existance 🙂 Can’t wait for the book to come out, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it!
Greetings from Monterrey, México.
Your post about writting a cookbook made my day, Alex! I got hooked on your channel when I stumbled across your Pain Perdu recipe (which is now one of my family’s favourite go to Saturday morning treats).
I would love to see your take on Apple Normandy Chicken or a Cornish Hen recipe.
Best wishes and geetings from Nova Scotia, Canada!
Theresa
Your YouTube channel suggests a cookbook would be a great idea. A print edition would be preferred, since I gauge the utility of a cookbook by how well used they look after a few months (bends in the spine, stray food stains, etc.).
Hello Alex,
I think a cookbook would be really great.
I would love to see you take on a Ginger-pumpkin soup recipe.
Greetings from Greece
Hi Alex,
I love your channel and your way in coiking and your way ti make us see paris its great!
To make cook book is a fantastic idea and interested to . I’d love it as a hard copy becous it’s more useful and helpful when try to make new recipe in kitchin . Your idea about stories , replace some ingrediant , solution of some problems and presentation is a exellant one and rarly who do some thing like that.
I wish if you can laboled every recipe wirh the calories it contain .
Une bonne idée, monsieur!
Je cherche quelque chose à recréer mon temps à Paris—and your wonderful recipes would be the perfect solution! Have you thought about organization? I think divvying it up as meals (petit-eejeuner, déjeuner, Goûter, apéro, dîner) could be a fantastic way to share French culture with your readers. Also, I would prefer to purchase a hard-copy cookbook to add to my collection as well as for gifts to mes amis gourmands.
Bonne chance, et je peux pas attendre!
Great idea Alex! Much love from California!
Great idea Alex and really enjoy your channel. eBook is great. Best of luck.
I love your channel and think the cookbook idea is awesome! You’re so creative. Keep that creative spin on the recipes to set the cookbook apart. I enjoy when you feature food from around the world and put a spin on it – like bahn mi. Your style is what keeps us all coming back & cooking up new things. This is so exciting!!!
I have loved your videos since day one and would be so happy to have your cookbook (hardcopy) for the detailed recipe of your dishes and twists. Best of luck!
I’d love your cookbook, either hardcopy or Kindle or PDF.
Super ! Enfin un livre avec tes recettes ! j’adore ta chaine et le fait que tu partages la cuisine française de façon exceptionnelle. Continus comme ça !
I love your video with the christmas salades.
If your cookbook is ready, I sure want to have one.
it is hard to get grip on all the ingredients used. I had to watch it a dozen times .
Thank God you are such a nice actor 😉
And thank you for the recipes
Hiya Alex!
To see a cookbook from you with all of your personality and creativity would be fantastic. I’ve always been interested in French Cuisine and I’m sure you’d do it great justice. (:
Alex,
BONJOUR mon favorite chef! Votre cuisine est magnifique! J’adore vote croissant Series! Vote devez venir en Louisiane et essayer notre
Cuisine francais! I will buy your book soon!!!
Hi alex ! Salut Alex !
Very good idea ! Do it ! Will you release a french version :)?
Good luck with your project 🙂
YES PLEASE !!!
Salut Alex! I love your style and recipes so I’m sure you’ll make a great cookbook. I recently became a vegan, and because you like to offer lots of twists in your recipes, I hope you can make vegetarian/vegan alternative twists for your meat-based recipes in the book. Cheers, Nick.
Yes place, All I want in life is your cookbook
Would love to have your Asian Twist recipes inside =)
I love the idea. Sharing tips and recipes is a way to transmit passion and knowledge….
What about a typical french bistrot recipe 😉
wish you all the best and lloking forward to ear about the secret cookbook project…
Hi Alex,
I live this idea and I love the fact that you mix up so many cultural cooking styles together. Please do a contemporary section where you go off the limits to mix the food cultures together to bring out something extremely unique.
I live the hardcover part too.eagerly waiting for the release and wishing you lot more lively recipes that you help us fill our hearts and tongues with 😉
All the live is actually love XD
Interested!!!
Hi Alex, I looooooove watching your YouTube videos!!! You are fun to watch and the food always look delicious! I’m in Atlanta Georgia US and I love cooking and baking – sort of like my hobby and passion! I love the idea of the cook book and I would definitely get a copy of it when it becomes available! Yes definitely precise measurement than your video as I think most people that buy cookbooks are looking for “guidance”. Some step by step photos will also be very helpful! Doesn’t need to be for every dish but for those that are more complex I suppose!!
Also definitely would like to see a lot of new spin to the traditional and timeless French dishes! Maybe you will have a chapter called international where you would incorporate all other non French dishes or fusion dishes in that chapter!!
Anyways just some suggestions, but again definitely would love to see you publish your first cook book. It’s going to be amazing!
I love the idea! I wonder if you can include concepts of each dish or something like what are expected in the dish so we can find alternative ingredients if the ones in the cookbook isn’t available in certain region.
I would love an e-book, because I don’t think I would be able to get a hard copy all the way to South Africa. I really love all your recipes and as a vegetarian I really like the idea with the layout and alternative ingredients. You are a really great cook! Thank you.
Dear Alex,
Love your video! Your make everything simple and easy and fun.
Good luck with your project! I also think a hard copy cookbook is preferred.
Regards,
Definitely a good idea!! A book with your wit and skills!!
Make it. Just make it!
id buy your book anyday! just send me one to colombia! :D!
or i can just pick one up next time im in paris!
I think i d spend about 20 €for your book
Love your videos! I think a cookbook would be great, hope you are still working on it. A classic french dish I have always wanted to try is ortolan. But, owing to numerous factors it is not plausible. Do you think you could do a recipe with a twist for ortolan? Maybe with quail breast or chicken thighs?
Yes! A French Guy Cooking hard copy cookbook would be an exquisite addition to my carefully curated selection of cookbooks! You’re my first go to when wanting to try new things. And, as it being my ongoing quest to full mastery, please do include the Pizza Odyssee! (Maybe even as appendix to the book 😀 ) Looking forward to it. Bonne chance!
Yes! Please make a book, Alex. I would love to have your recipes written down. I think a hardcover copy would be great! Best of luck!
A hard cover book would be great. Please work on it. I like your tips for cooking, they are easy and simple. The twists you suggest or share in the video are also brilliant. Looking forward for your cookbook.
This would be amazing!
Other than the recipes, which I know would be fantastic, I think that it would be great for you to include an extended bio page. We want to know more about you! Your journey with youtube, behind the scenes, what got you interested in cooking etc
Love from Thailand,
Pauline
Oh my goodness, I would love to see you come out with a cookbook. Your love and enthusiasm for cooking is infectious. I would love to cook more French food for my family. If possible could you covert measurements/temperatures for us Americans? Also, I don’t necessarily have access to a lot out here, so any substitutes for the uncommon items would be welcomed. Good luck!
Salut Alex!
I already want this masterpiece! 🙂 And please release it as a real life book! :3 It would look nice in my kitchen!
Greetings from Hungary!
I think you have the right idea for this book. The idea that cooking has to be difficult and complicated to be tasty is ludicrous. Some of my best recipes are the simplest, sometimes even born out of trying to replicate another recipe without all of correct the ingredients. I love the idea of having a real paper book too, there are some beautiful pieces of art out there masquerading as cookbooks. I’m sure yours will be one of them. Cheers !
Don
P.S. …. I have a killer easy French Toast/Pain Perdu recipe that I make on Christmas morning for my family, its dead simple and tastes amazing. It uses Finnish Puula ( coffee bread with Cardamom), off the shelf Egg Nog, Vanilla, Cinnamon and a little salt. Drop me an email if you want the details.
This is a great idea, I would like to see a hard copy version, since its easier to handle while cooking.

I love the idea of suggesting alternatives for ingredients! I never do exactly what the recipe says and it’s the biggest fun of cooking for me – improvising, but I know for fact that some people are afraid to do that, so by giving them an alternative you can make them more confident and inspire more experiments.
I can’t wait to dig into your book! Have fun working on it!
I couldn’t agree more:)
I love your videos -your style of delivery is awesome! Make the cookbook please 🙂
I really enjoy your videos — especially those based on traditional French recipes or techniques made quicker or simpler to do. The book idea is lovely, however, I find online recipes at a website more helpful than books. I do use books, but it is nice to go to a website, do a recipe search, and have the option of printing it or just reading it from a device. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
PS You’ve also accomplished the impossible: I want to learn to speak and read French!
A cookbook! YES! I already love your cooking videos, which I find very informative and rather innovative (and funny). Can’t wait to see how creative your book will be!

Best of luck, Alex!
I love your videos, and I would love to see a cookbook by you! Salut from California!
Love your videos and recipes!
Alex I’m sure your cookbook will sell lots of copies, because your creativity and good heart are so much fun. I will definitely buy one!
Can’t wait for this cookbook, 2thumbs up!
Salut!
Ça serait vraiment génial! Mon copain et moi, on est méga fan de tes vidéos!
🙂
I love the idea of a cook book. Especially in your creative way!
Hey Alex! The cookbook is a great idea! You’ve been nothing but an inspiration for a hopeful beginner like me. Thank you so much! I’d prefer a hardcover as well, if funding is an issue, maybe a Kickstarter campaign would be something to consider? If you have something like that set up, I’d definitely support the cookbook!
Salut Alex j’adore ton idée de faire ce livre, avez-vous penser a mettre des recettes d’autre pays comme ce d’Italy. Pardons si il y a des faute d’orthographe j’ai seulement 12 ans et je vivais en France pour 11 ans du cous je sais le français mais je suis anglaise. Je pense que t’on channel est trop cool et toi aussi. Katherine ( :
Hi Alex, I really enjoy your channel. I also really think your cheap recipes are super! Look forward to the cookbook for sure. One of the last times I tried to cook, the fire alarm went off, and the fire department came. So, I am definitely a new cook! I like how many of your recipes are easy to follow, and I look forward to it!

Just discovered your channel through Brothers Green Eats. I love your creative presentation and how you explain things! I enjoyed your ‘interactive Q&A’ a lot 😉 Also I’m up for that cookbook! If you want someone to collaborate with… I’d be up for that, too 🙂
Bon courage!!! I will send chorus of angels whispering the beautiful songs of cook book ideas!! Please include some vegan options for your sister..and for me..hehehe..AND arrange a cookbook tour!!!! Must stop by Canada, Quebec City and Montreal..and the French part, and the English part, Toronto!! And oh..don’t forget our cheesy French Canadian dish, “poutine”!! Love you much! Cheng-Feng Lin
Your recipes are actually good… The salted butter caramel was a huge hit on my breakfast table !! Thank you so much. Your cookbook is eagerly awaited 🙂
I am also looking forward to news that you are coming up with your own book. I have thougnt, “I want this creative guy to make a Creative cookbook as well as a Creative video. And I am hopefully waiting a Korean recipe to appear on your page. 🙂
I prefer a hardcover book to any types of technological methods. But I don’t mind at all if your recipes concluding stories(awesome) and pictures in a creative arrangement can be read here in Korea. I can’t wait.
Dear French Guy Cooking,
I really love your Youtube channel and hope you will proceed making youtube videos for a long time. I am seventeen years old and really love learning how to cook, especially of your videos. When I saw a video of Brothers Green named “41 unique youtube channels we’ve enjoyed”, I looked up your channel. I watched a random video of your channel, and immediately loved your sense of humor and passion for cooking. So within a few days, I had seen almost every video you have made. I really hope your cookbook will be released soon, and I will directly buy it when it comes out.
Greetings,
Sander Leurink from the Netherlands
PS: When you have plans visiting The Netherlands soon, let me now!
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I haven’t watched n inspirational, creative, and fresh cook such as you on as long as I can remember. I smile through every video. I’d buy your cookbook in a heartbeat!
I watch your YouTube channel all the time! Would definitely buy a cookbook of yours.
Great idea! I would buy it
salut Alex! This is an amazing idea, it would be like an expression of yourself. One day I would love to meet you as well you seem like such an honest and down to earth person.
This is going to be epically awesom! Please do a printed book! And please include a chocolate dessert!
Hi, Alex! i love your videos and i think your channel is so lovely to be watched! i would love to get your book but it’s quite difficult to get international books in my place here especially if it’s a hardcopy. so would you make the e-book as well? 🙂 hey if you’re interested about south east asian cuisine, especially indonesian, i would love to share what i know about it 🙂
I am thrilled you are thinking of doing
Hi Alex, sorry about that — I guess I was so enthusiastic I accidentally pressed “post comment” too soon!
I am thrilled you are thinking of doing a cookbook. We wait for your videos every Sunday and would definitely buy it! Good luck.
This is great! Can’t wait for the cookbook, would definitely buy.
I love cooking, I love cookbooks, I love (simple, not too heavy) French food! Your Channel is one of my absolute favourites!
I was already wondering if you would ever make a cookbook! Please, do!
Super idée! Je l’achèterai pour sûr. Je suis d’accord avec les commentaires qui suggèrent des recettes “quick and easy”. Garde ta créativité dans le cookbook. Aussi j’aime bien quand tu montres plusieurs manières de faire la même chose, comme dans ta vidéo sur le french toast. Hard copy pour sûr!
All the best!
This project would be amazing! Please do it for us!
Salute Alex
I’d love to learn more about French cheese. I went to the market in Anssie once and they had a huge Variety of cheeses. Had no idea what to choose from. I’d love you to make a video about it, the Mondus Spiceus series. Merci.
Hey Alex,
I would love it if you made a cookbook! It would be awesome if it was a hardcover and available here in Canada.
Merci!
You should make an Argentinian paella but maybe with some other twist. That would be wonderfully delicious. Chao
Hi, I just watched one of your youtube vids, the 6 meals for $10. Those meatballs are genius and I can’t wait to make those. Grated mushroom – who knew? Thaank you. Im off to find more of your vids. All success to your cooking endevours.
I love your creativity and ideas and i love the fun you spread around
So naturally I’m very curious to see the booky manifestation of all these.
Cheers and way to go
I like the idea of it too I love your videos they inspire me to cook also helps me make a lot of stuff with ease.
I would love to see you come out with a cook book. If it’s anything like your videos it will be a fresh look at a classic cuisine. Your enthusiasm and honest perspective makes me look forward to seeing anything you produce. Merci!
Hello from Ukraine!
Nice videos and some great culinary ideas! 🙂 Would love to see your cookbook come into life. The only suggestion: keep it classic, don’t follow the ‘low calories’ trend. Even scientists acknowledge nowadays that the fight against animal fat was a big mistake. Keep it balanced, don’t overeat and you’ll be fine with real butter and real lard. That’s what makes French cuisine so lovely (and not only French).
Best regards and keep it rolling! 🙂
Gleb
If it’s anything like your videos, I’d buy this book for me, my brother, my parents, and pretty much anyone else I’ve ever lived with.
Hi Alex,
If you start a Kickstarter or Indigogo project page, I would back it.
Perhaps, with that initial kickstarting (use the money you get from the kickstarter or indigogo campaign with your youtube sub as correlation), you can find a publisher, like random house or something, to really make the book take off.
Jamie Oliver has collaborated with you a couple times. Why not ask him how he published his first book? I myself owned a couple of Jamie’s cook book. Hey you’ve only joined yt for three years now and you’ve got 100k. That is a huge accomplishment.
I am looking forward to the updates of the cook book. Please keep us updated.
Best,
Ted
I really love your recipes, I like the ebook idea, but I personally prefer an actual book.
I hope it will be available internationally 🙂
Ah!!!! I DEMAND a book! I only recently subscribed but I feel like my life is already lacking without a French Guy Cookin’ (Alex Gabriel) cookbook!
Can it be a 2016 Christmas present? Pretty please?
I was like should i click so i did and i found this page. Wow 🙂 keep up the great work. You make me want eat like a french man. If you can throw in some math table or some thing like that to help brake down the numbers. I like to read text books from school, (Knowledge is Power).
Hi Alex,
Maybe some more recipes and techniques for the Sous-vide ‘Beer Cooler’ very cool…
Maybe a recipe for Irish Sodabread? Something I have always wanted to try, it would be awesome to see it! Can’t wait to get this as soon as it comes out!
One of the best cooking YT personality, really interested with this project!!
Love the idea Alex!! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and I’m really glad you’re finally comming up with a cookbook 🙂 maybe you could put in the estimated calorie count too?
yes!
Yessssss I will buy it!
Bonjour Yes I love the idea of the cookbook, I would want a hardbook Please .
BIG Yes for a cookbook…whatever format….only question is when?!
Pingback: 23 HOURS NO SLEEP ! NYC FOOD VLOG 1/5 - Granada Gastronómica
Alex, I’ll be honest, if you put out a book with a with a nice picture of food on the cover and a 100 blank pages I’d buy it to support you because I think what you do is awesome. I you feel you must include some recipes I would support your decision. Mother sauces and their variations would be nice. Also can not make a pan sauce after cooking a steak to save my life so any help you might have would be great. But MOST OF ALL have GREAT photos! We all love you on Youtube for our cooking advice but if your are going to put out cookbook it has got to be sexy. Photos man, photos… Hell, I’ll fly over myself from Los Angeles to take the pictures to make sure they are perfect. Keep top the good work!
Pingback: $1.36 French Tartine with Walnut Butter, Caramelized Chicory & Orange Supremes - Granada Gastronómica
Great idea, why isn’t this on kickstarter or something? i want to reserve my copy now! 🙂
Yes. Also it would be great if you could include an Indian food recipe and please don’t include Mughlai curries / Naan and Samosas. Something local which locals eat daily.
Great idea! Please include lots of fish and vegetarian recipes!
you are awesome, please make this cookbook
It does sound like a great idea. It also looks like an idea that has been considered and reconsidered for a while. That been said, I am very anxious to see the final product.
On a personal note, my humble suggestion would be to have it as clear as possible. I mean a clear page with no distractions in a way that I can find what I look for really easy while cooking. Does that make sense? So, for example, no matter in what page I am, my eyes will easily find the info I am looking for — cooking time for that part of the recipe; or hints; twists. When I think about this I think about colour schemes, shapes that make sense; a pattern of positions over each page along the book…
So, make it easy to read while cooking 😀
Please, make a real book version of your cooking book. I’m one of the people that prefer real books. Sorry for bad english. Cook from Russia.
Hated French cuisine all my life and after watching your videos can’t get enough of it. Cook book is a must at your level of popularity, c’mon))) just keep it as funny and charming as your videos ^_^ hugs and kisses from Berlin
Hey French Guy cooking team !
Its great that yall are making a cookbook(finally) and seem to have a great game plan for the organization of the book. I think it would also be interesting if the twist were sent in my viewers from different culitnary cultures. backgrounds. This would make it very interactive and approchable tot he target audience.
Cheers
Ahhh this is perfect, just what I need. Super excited about it already!
Good luck.
Hey Alex, I just discovered your secret project- a pleasure that was! It’s fascinating to imagine a book complimenting your creative and interesting video content. I think that I would appreciate a section on kitchen ware and cooking tools, it is so essential and geek-wise interesting (kitchen hacks would perfectly fit into this category). Looking forward to it, all the luck:)

I love your cooking so I can only imagine how amazing your cookbook would be!!! <3
Would love the tartine recipes and some quick cheap and easy noodle recipes?! Would love a hard copy book much love from NZ
Could you please remove comment I thought it was going to be anonymous. So sorry
Bonjour Alex !
I love the idea of a cookbook, being a huge italian food lover, I would love to see your take on the Pasta alla Carbonara ! I’m pretty sure you witnessed the problem with this recipe in France : cream, onion, bacon, egg yolk … Where’s the parmesan and eggs mixture ?! Where’s the guanciale (I’ll accept pancetta since it’s quite hard to find haha) ?!
Anyway, with or without this recipe, the cookbook idea is great, I hope you’ll be able to do it.
Mes excuses s’il y a quelques erreurs d’anglais dans le commentaire. Merci pour tes vidéos si originales (j’adore la “quick note”) et tes recettes !
A bientôt !
Please make the 5 mother sauces in a way so we all can make them

I would ABSOLUTELY buy your cookbook, no matter the platform! Your sardine recipes are especially my favorite. Now when I eat sardines I don’t feel cheap, I feel fancy! Much love, friend!
Would definitely like a cookbook. I like your simple and informative approach 🙂
Extremely interested! I’d buy it as soon as it came out!
Yes yes yes! I love the organization of the recipe page. I always find that there is information that is lacking, but you filled in those missing places. I also love the addition of how you can twist a recipe towards the end of the page. You cut corners in making what are traditionally advanced recipes easier to handle, but you also are very through in how you do that. I can’t wait to see this book in hard copy or in digital form!
salut!
Si vous faites le livre, je l’achèterai !! J’ai regardé votre youtube depuis mon professeur de français m’a montré. Je suis très heureux que vous faites bien.
Definitely make it available to follow without electricity. If you make it an e-book let us print it out. There is nothing worse than being halfway through cooking and look over and the ipad is off…then I have to log back in again..then I have to look over to see if anything is burning…then…what was I looking for?
You get the idea.
Also, it would be smart (now Im speaking as a professional marketer) to link the recipe with the YouTube video that it goes with. Whether the short url or whatever so that you can cross-promote your efforts and build both viewership as well as help sell your book. “This recipe is on page 56”
I can’t wait to buy it and impress myself and my friends with your fantastic recipes!!!
I would prefer a real paper book that I can have in my hands and leave in my kitchen without the need of turning on the computer or ipad or kindle. I also love getting inspired by beautiful pictures of the final result of the recipe and have also pictures of some steps of the recipes, especially the difficult or tricky ones to know how to do it the right way.
Good luck! A big hug from Italy
I’d buy the book, especially if it has some info on France and classic French recipes such as Onion soup, Coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, assorted pastries, lemon tart. So maybe have separate entrée, main and deserts sections.
I think this book is a real-life example that anyone can achieve not only great cooking, but anything you want if you deliver the needed passion. You’ve inspired lots of people around the world, including me, a guy who feels many similitaries regarding our approach to cooking: I also started this passion by trial and mistakes (I have no cooking background) when I moved to my girlfriend’s years ago (in fact, she’s my wife today, and she encouraged the passion I also found in discovering new recipes and other countries cuisines).
Of course I’ll buy the book! I can already imagine the tips, twists, great pictures and even easter eggs throughout it!
Saludos desde Argentina!!
Yes, I need this book in my life!! Hard cover, but one that easily stays open on the page you want it too. I hope that if (or should I say when) you publish it, it will be available in Belgium as well!
Continue comme ça, tu déchires!!
Hey Alex!
A cook book is a great idea! Perhaps something that can link the hard copy to all the online videos like those scanning codes?
It’ll be cool if the book is cleverly constructed, for example the pages/sections could be pulled apart and reassembled.
Anyways let us know when it’s out! Best of luck!
Would love a cookbook from you! I’ve been following you on youtube forever! Loved the recent soufle (sorry, no accents on my keyboard) video! 😀
So, working 50hrs in sheets often drains out the urge to cook something nice for me, like i drain lemons sometimes.
But your channel und recipes giving me back much love and joy in cooking. Huge thank you for that.
and i had to leave a comment, u sid it. Sorry for my horrible english.
Looking forward to your cookbook. If you need another recipe tester I’d be glad to join.

Alex, your cookbook would the first one in our stack for sure. You are so brilliant in your recipes and in the way you break them down. My husband is the cook in our family and he likes to try and copy your recipes and then once I did your French onion soup. I don’t like onions and definitely not French onion soup. But yours was sooooo amazing. We are actually going to Paris in march and would love to meet you, or cook with you, or shoot one of your videos for you while we are there. It would be a dream come true for my husband. You are very inspirational and wish you all the successes you deserve in 2017 and many years to come!!
Thank you

Hey Alex. I really like your channel and the idea of a cookbook in the same spirit as your channel. I wanted to add that i’d prefer a hard copy, even if the price would be a little higher, it’s much easier and decorative.
Continues comme ça et bon courage pour la suite !
Love the [Ingredients, Alternatives, Cook-wear] section. As a student my lack of cook-wear often makes a recipe unfeasible, so having this presented clearly would be super handy.
Love your work Alex, thank-you!!
Would definitely want a hard copy!
Pingback: How to Make Vegetable Noodles Without a Spiralizer ! - Granada Gastronómica
It would be wonderful to have a real life cookbook done by you! It’s your YouTube videos that make me start to love cooking!
Hardcover please! Then I can get bits and pieces of your recipe ingredients all over it : )
Hey! I think it’s a really cool idea! I’d definitely buy it knowing how creative you are and that almost all your recipes are budget friendly (which kicks as considering I’m a broke ads student). If I may suggest an idea, it would be cool of you made a part of the book about vinaigrettes or dressing. I don’t know a lot of people who make the same old stuff (olive oil, vinegar, mustard or honey, salt and pepper). I get stuck doing the same things and I don’t think I’m the only one. Thanks
So excited for you to be discovered by a new audience. I say go ebook and print. If no one else has suggested: include a link/url in the hard copy to online content. Some new videos demo-ing recipes not on your channel, tips, techniques. This joins the two “worlds” and can drive viewers to your channel. Bonne chance!
Hey Suzanne, great idea! A QR- Code with a link to the video or something would be great for that

Yes please, a cookbook! 🙂 and if you could maybe mention the names of ingredients in French that would help slot because I live in France and it’s difficult to find the French equivalent sometimes
Alex!! I would totally pitch in in a crowdfunding sort of project if you made one! A French guy cooking cookbook is a dream. Been watching you for years now and you just keep getting better. Next time I’m in Paris I will look out for you in the streets restaurants and markets! Haha
Would love to see/have your cookbook. Your cooking videos are great fun and are great to try. Thanks
Hey French Guy Alex , I would so absolutely buy this book . Your first ideas sound “mental” awesome.
Please make it in print or hardcover, that has so much more charme plus maybe I am not the only one who likes to scribble into cookbooks, which will make it even more authentic and REAL for the owner. Plus it can be handed over to others, integrated into a household 🙂 and will have a “life” after shelflife and purchase.
My “advices” (hahaha, who am I to give you suggestions…I work in marketing (for software) though) and maybe some suggestions might help ).
1. Your channel is full of different ideas, don’t limit yourself to just a few of them for the book. It would be great, if your cookbook will become like a classic movie, which can be read over and over again to find new things.
Sometimes I think chefs are planning books in advance. Like “save this recipie” for another book, and they have boring “filler” recipies, which are reasons for me not to buy it.
Great art, I think, is not thinking about a sequel. First book being taken as seriously as it would be the last one.
2. As ur videos are so playfull it will be just consequent when the book reflects this. Maybe with some doodles, paper playwork so people can interact with the book. (Hard to explain.) Maybe a wheel for spices which go along very well.
Or a play “roll the dice what you would cook today” kinda thing.
3. Lots of books from bloggers or youtubers are for beginners and start with getting your pantry.
So getting your target group right will be the first and most important thing.
I guess the average people buying your book will be youtubers already familiar with basic cooking techniques?! What will be necessary to explain and what not?!
As a theme I can imagine you seperate the book into three chapters: some dishes from your own lab (tartin, mundus aromaticus self creations…), some classics you have eaten while traveling and which you re-cook (mapo tofu, this japanese dish too hard to spell …), some for planning out a dinner, celebrations or a menu from breakfast to dinner, your ideal combinations of cheese food wine etc.
4. If possible a forward or recipie from Jamie or the food family to get attention and press coverage will be great.
I am sure, it’ll be great!
Cheers from a chinese female food obsessor living in Germany , Ming
You have so many great ideas
OH MAN I have been waiting for this since I started watching your videos! The moment I watched the first one I thought I hope this guy makes a cookbook and now it’s finally happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your videos and your simple approach to cooking have inspired me so many times. I started with your cheese souffle and just made your simple cheese recipe this morning actually. I can’t wait to get my hands on your cookbook…Thanks for making cooking less scary.
Alex, I am very excited and interested in your cookbook. Though the heart says hard copy, selfishly, Ipad ebook more practical for me, as am on the move these days. Love your humor, exciting ideas and inclusive culinary humanity. Still using your tartine recipes. Best wishes
A hardcover book would be lovely! The concept looks very cool as well, keep up the good work! xx
Seeing some of the comments dating as back as 2014, let’s do it already! You’re my favorite cook on YouTube and I want a book of yours in my kitchen when my internet connection is too slow to watch.
And please make a section describing some spices and so on à la “Mystery foods of the universe” (I love that part in your last video haha)

Hi Alex,
I discovered your channel a few years back and I love your work! What fascinates me the most is the diversity of your cooking. I would love to see more about your creative processes in your cookbook and key techniques you have learned that improved your cooking.
I get most excited when I read books like Michael Ruhlman’s Ratio or Jacque Pepin’s Real Techniques as they can allow you to cook without having the constraints of a recipe. So I’d love to see if you would give us some insight about how you do things in the kitchen and develop recipes!
Thanks,

Looking forward to the book no matter what.

I’d absolutely love to have this book as a hard cover in my shelve! Your recipes are so fun and inspiring. If there’ll be a hard cover book, I’d most likely buy a couple more just to give it to my friends as a birthday gift or something.

Hi Alex
Nice to know you…. I am a student and i try to learn a french culinary , so i search in youtube and i see your channel . It’s good channel and i like it . By the way i am from Indonesia
Thank You
Novita
I’ve always wanted a cookbook that also comes with a chartflow (it’s what i save my recipes with). Vertical is time, horisontal is multitasking. This way i always know what to start first, all ingredient measures (the divided ones) are in a box. For example: when you would normally say (while this is cooking, prepare the bkah_blah_bkah), I’d just see a new cbartflow next to mainone, and vertically it would start lower.
I realy enjoy your videos, and now that this project is coming im just exited about it.
Im a lover of cuisine and seing a guy like you with such a passion inspires me.
A great hug from my side.
Pablo: your friend from México.
It would be really cool if you could make the pages out of a plastic like material so if you do get stuff on it while you are cooking you cans just wipe it off. Just an idea I thought of that would be cool and helpful.
It would be so cool if you made a cookbook! I love the video’s because I love how cute but technical ykurbkitchen is and also your accent is so fun to listen too.
You are without a doubt my favorite YouTuber – every single one of your recipes is clearly and meticulously explained and the flavors are so carefully thought out and always perfectly balanced. You make it possible for someone with no formal culinary training to make dishes that look and taste like they’re straight out of a Michelin-starred kitchen. Combine that with the fact that you go out of your way to make all of your recipes as easy and accessible as possible and I think you have the recipe (ha…ha) for a phenomenal cookbook. Hardcopy, paperback, E-book, coloring book – whatever it is, you can be sure I’ll get a copy of it as soon as it’s available (I can’t wait to see what wonderful new things you come up with). If only there were a way to get it signed…
COOKING WITH HUMOR ! LOVE YOUR SHOW AND RECIPES !
Would love to see veg or vegan recipes.
Maybe a chickpea section ? Felafel, desserts, etc.

Dear Alex,
You are so inspiring (*^_^*) Really love your energy you share on your video’s. Whenever I feel lost or alone your way of communicating really brings a bright smile on my face. So grateful that you share your recipes and skills for free and know that it’s much appreciated. When you bring out your cookbook I would love to get a notice so I can enjoy your creative work. Keep doing what you are so passionate about and I know you will keep on inspiring people all around the world.

You seem so much fun and adventurous and I love to see how you smile with so much passion. Love your humor so much. (*^0^*) Bless you <3 Love, Golivia Lee
Salut Alex!!
I love your channel so much and cannot believe you’re coming out with a book! Here are my ideas/suggestions:
1) there’s a podcast called “The Cookbook Deal” that describes the journey of making a cookbook from getting a literary agent to pitching to publishers to getting the cookbook made. Perhaps it’ll help you in your journey as well!
2) I fell in love with the way French people appreciate and eat food, and how much they enjoy things in life like read, wine, and cheese, and good quality produce. It’s so different from North America. I know you have tons of North American viewers and readers and the market here is huge, but my biggest ask/suggestion is to stay true to yourself and not cater to North American tastes or preferences. There will definitely be moments during your journey that you have to make tough decisions, so I really hope this will help you.
Thanks for all the beautiful work you do! You’re a true inspiration.

Hey Alex, great project! I’m writing from Turkey and your work has been very helpful, what a time to be alive 😀 I have to say you’re doing some amazing stuff thank you so much. Besides I also think that a hard copy is a must, I would order it right away! Plus can you add details on techniques and info on ingredients on your book and do you have a date on your mind? Let us know 😀
Au revoir!
Hey Alex! C’est super project! Your work has been very helpful and I wish to have a copy of your cookbook in the future. I really love and admire french cuisine and finally I found your YouTube channel. So impressive! Aha and one more thing is I love your french english accent.. It make You look so French and so cute :p
Merci for the beautiful ‘art’ You do. Such a true inspiration!! Glad to hear You soon.
A cookbook from you would be awesome! I love the way you explain food and recipes. Your passion for the process shines through. Personally I am a fan of real paper books but I understand the convenience of using and producing ebooks.
both thumbs up! It would be great if you publish your recipes 🙂 I will definitely buy it 🙂 greeting, Diana
I graphic design things and i’d be thrilled to give you a hand with this!
feel free to get in touch!
Yes, definitely. I think a cookbook would be amazing! One thing that I notice a lot of people don’t understand is how to pick out decent produce, meat, cheese, etc. I was in 4-H in school and we learned about judging potatoes, beef, etc., but not everyone has had that experience. Maybe a little section on this would be good? Or just a note in some of the recipes dealing with produce a person might not normally use? Something. Anyway, I love the idea. If you need a guinea pig for recipes, let me know. I’ll bravely volunteer.
I think you should make two versions of every food; posh version and simplified version next to each others in the book. I will definitely buy it if you do this and I think most people agree too. Sometimes I need to cook quickly but sometimes I need the food to be absolutely perfect. Hope you get the book out soon, Alex.
Stay nerdy my friend. I love all of your video on youtube. Science and food is the best kind of love affair. Can’t wait for your book to someday reach Indonesia
I love your passion and the way you cook, make it so simple and beautiful! It would be a pleasure to have a cook book made by you!! Wish you success
Hi Alex! I just discovered your channel today and subscribed! I would be delighted to purchase your cook book! I didn’t realize that you could do so many things with chickpeas! Looking forward to more videos from you as well!
Bonjour Alex!
I discovered your channel when you visited Jimmy DiResta and have been following you since! Thank you for all the amazing videos about food, cooking and ingenious kitchen hacks! You’re really an inspiration.
I’d love it if you were to publish a cookbook! I would definitely buy a copy! An ebook would be OK but I think I’d prefer hardcopy, paper books I think hold up better in my kitchen than electronics. I really look forward to seeing your book project come together!
-Josh
In it to win it! j’adore!
au fait, il est où ton studio, à Paris?
So happy that I found your YouTube videos. Other than sourdough starter do you ferment anything else?
Great idea doing the cookbook. Sight unseen I want one or two. Can I pre-order?
Hallo Alex! I am so excited you will have a cookbook! I live in Germany and am an American
I have been watching your videos, and giggling for some months, and sharing your Brioche! My man is gaga over it! Please never stop….you make my heart sing!
Kindest regards,
Grace
Really like the potential layout of the book.
I would definitely buy your book, enjoyed watching your channel.
Keep up the good work! 🙂
I would love to see this book come out as a physical copy, that way I can display it while I cook and make it the first cookbook in the collection I will begin as I transition from college life to real life!
I’m always looking for a new cookbook for ideas. I’m newer to cooking and love adding to my so far basic knowledge.
Yes! Please! A cookbook in your style would be amazing!!!
Salut Alex! The idea of a french-guy-cookbook is amazing! Definitely it would be cooler on hardcopy (at least I know geeks like me would appreciate it more, ha)
I’ve read some of the comments of people saying they use to spill food all over their cookbooks whenever they’re cooking but I think that’s actually the point right? ……specially YOUR cookbook, since you’re all about getting creative and dirty in the kitchen. I think that stains give some cool history to a cookbook, you can tell it’s been part of many many special meals. Perhaps your cookbook could come “pre-stained”, like with a very cool, careless and bold graphic vibe to it.
Please tell me if I can help in any way. My spelling is pretty good so I could help you check the writing or whatever 🙂
This is great! I just started watching your videos, actually, but I am AMAZED at a LOT of the stuff you do. Every cooking video is like a mystery box challenge meets Alton Brown. A cookbook is a definite YES for me (hard copy would be GREAT so I can write on it haha), especially if it has recipes that require 20% effort. Maybe you can add more recipes that use way less tools/ingredients, or are limited by budget (like what you did with the Trader Joe’s challenge) because it may come in handy for some people who are restricted for some reason. (Like they live in a dorm, or want good food for less money, etc.)
I love the cookbook idea! For sure it will be amazing!
Hey Alex!
Shout out from Colorado! Thanks for all of your videos and a cook book would be awesome! Cheers!

OMG!!! BEST IDEA EVER, BTW, WILL IT BE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES?
Would love for you to come out with a cookbook.
Salut! As I know you do quite a few videos on etnic food, you should do your take on the best recipes of a few countries! Keep up the great content!
I would like an app for the iPhone that would allow me to read the “book” and link to your videos at the same time. Videos explain so much more than just photos when cooking.
Yep! Absolutely want it! (Make it available in Canada). Bonne journée!
Heck yeah I want your cookbook!!
I love a cookbook I can hold in my hands. Make sure it has a good hand-feel and great photos! I really enjoy your recipes, I this is a wonderful project, good luck! Oh and remember to share the stories behind the recipes, I love those stories.
I would absolutely love a copy of this (ideally physical ofc.) you’re a wonderful cook and such an inspiration, and even when I’m not in France following your guides helps to transport me there, where I am happiest.
It would be an honor to have a permanent collection of your recipes.
I would 100% buy this book if it was a real physical book. I love the way you dissect recipes to understand how they work, and how you can make things both more intricate and simple at the same time. I am always looking forward to what you do next!
Best content ever
Best content ever !!!!
I really like your airy cooking guides and multi-episode adventures! If you can find a way to transfer your enthousiasm on paper, I would buy that (preferably hardcopy) book in an instant!
I would absolutely buy a cookbook if you made one!
Sign me up please make this book. You have one guaranteed sale to me if you do.
So so happy. As an old guy living on limited means your videos inspire me to take risks and try to just cook. I cook so much more than I once did and my food budget goes so much farther! I’m really looking forward to your cookbook. Hard is good especially with the cool cookbook pages you can wipe off and a lay flat binding. Digital would be wonderful too, I could have it up on my screen which is only two or three steps away from where I cook in my room. Ideal would be a combination.
My kids and I have just recently discovered your YouTube channel!! We were blown away by your chickpea series, and can’t wait to try some of the recipes. A cookbook would be amazing, and hopefully available in Canada 🙂 I love the story of the dish idea. I’ve always been drawn to cookbooks that have stories to tell, as opposed to just a compilation of recipes. Good luck, I can’t wait!
I would love to see you come out with a book! Your channel is fun, inventive and captures everything I love about french culture/cooking. I’d prefer a hardcover because I know that I can have it in my library – I find that if I can’t see it, I won’t use it.
Much love from Canada!
I love you videos and im excited to see the cookbook
I’ve only just found your YouTube channel and had assumed that you would’ve written a book already. Seems like a no-brainer, to me. Do it!
I just found your youtube channel and I love it so far! I prefer hard copy books myself over my tablet, but that is just nostalgia I think. I also need to buy a kitchen scale to learn how to convert to the metric system, which I need to learn anyways for my dream job. Yay learning! Will there be a recipe for Croque Madame in this book, or is that an American thing we stole and adapted? Will your book be separated by breakfast, lunch, dinner; soups, sandwhiches, ect or by the main ingredient such as beef, fish, vegetables ect?
That’s awesome idea and one request also to place a place for substitute for various things like for example in your I’ve cream video I liked that but still looking for egg substitute to go with that recipe so kindly put that also if possible thanks and nice work my friend
You should hide secret videos on the book (QR codes, hidden links) to complement the recipe or have a little fun with easter eggs
Hey
I like the idea and hope to see in it a lot of recipes and trick to make the cooking much easy and fun as you show us every time.
Wish you all the best 😉
Love the design ideas! New cookbooks are always welcome, especially ones from talented cooks such as yourself.
Sounds like an awesome book. I’d love to buy one when I can!
As long as you have your French Onion Soup Recipe I am in. Hope to see this soon.
Alex, I would love to get a copy of your book. I would just like to request that you include US measurements as well as the Euro measurements. You’re adorable and I look forward to your future videos. Much success!
Your cooking style is so creative and innovative and I always look forward to creating my own versions of your recipes! I would a love to get a copy of your cookbook 🙂
Really love the idea of a book. Your recipes often amaze me. (Your no-machine ice-cream was a success s at our last party!)
One suggestion: I am currently in college and find it difficult to make good food, I always go for take-out or canned. So I thought, why not ask an amazing chef to resolve my issue. Please include a few recipes that are: cheap, quick and easy.
I hope this makes it into the book (or a video).
Your a truly unique chef with a creative style. A combination of technical know how and a fearless drive for venturing off script- I would gladly support a cook book effort!
I would love to Pre-Order this! Your style is perfect for a university student(lisence) and in about a year I won’t have a meal plan so I’m looking forward to using these. Even if I can’t pre-order I’m gonna try and get it right off the shelf. Merci Beaucoup Alex!
Hi Alex! Just had a look at you mockup. It looks well-designed and wonderful. I particularly loved the part where you put alternative options–very clever. I think you should also have an e-book version of it where you can put the link of the cooking video of particular recipe somewhere below the picture or anywhere. Best wishes from Bangladesh and looking forward to your project output.
Hi Alex
I’ve been following your youtube channel for a while now and only recently actually started making some of your recipes. I’m ashamed that I didn’t start sooner! You have a really fresh take on many things and definitely inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things (or just new variations of classic dishes), it’s very refreshing to see and I love your enthusiasm about the things you make. I’ve always been interested in making things from scratch and you’ve shown me that isn’t very difficult to do, you just have to start somewhere. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future and I think that a cookbook is a brilliant idea! I’m a sucker for hard cover cookbooks but regardless I’m sure it will be a success!
Regards from Cape Town, South Africa 🙂
Hi Alex,
I was wondering a long time ago, “Is Alex ever going to write a cookbook?” I am so glad to hear that this is happening. At least I hope it is! I’ll even throw in a next or 10 American dollars above the price if you’ll autograph mine! Please also include in the back the instructions on remaking the chefs knife, especially how you get the original handle off. I’d like to try doing that! Also please do a printed version in hardcopy. I’ll bet anything it will be a keeper! How is the progress on it going by the way? I am your 512 respondent & I have been crazy about learning new cooking techniques ever since I was six years old.

Hi Alex,
I was wondering a long time ago, “Is Alex ever going to write a cookbook?” I am so glad to hear that this is happening. At least I hope it is! I’ll even throw in an extra 10 or 15 American dollars above the price if you’ll autograph mine! ( a bold-face bribe!) Please also include in the back the instructions on remaking the chefs knife, especially how you get the original handle off. I’d like to try doing that! Also please do a printed version in hardcopy.

YES ALEX! make it come true. i will buy without a doubt. as a french man, i expect a tutorial of some sorts on break making.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Hello Alex!! Yes to making a cookbook-that would be awesome! 🙂 You’re a pleasure to watch and have great ideas for cooking. You should make some French Guy Cooking t-shirts or socks for the first so many copies of cookbooks you sell 😉 😀 haha!
Thank you !!
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE A COOKBOOK!!!!!!!!!
I’m joking!!! Make it already!!!!
Mec, tu es le plus créatif et amusant “chef” dans l’Internet !!! Je n’arrive pas à me déconnecter de tes vidéos. Et jattends anxieusement ton bouquin !!!
Great work buddy!! I want a copy of your book when it’s ready!!
I am quite interested in this. Send me a free copy if you actually do it 😛
Hi Alex,
I love you’re videos, you’re such a breeze compared to most regular cooking channels on YT.
Just wondering… what starsign are you? My guess is Leo (they’re very inventive) but I could be wrong.
Kind regards,
Dave (from the Netherlands)
Just a thought if it hasn’t been said already, in the cookbook it would be great if you added your scibblings and notes on your experimental versions of a recipe on one side of the page while having the actual final recipe and pictures on the other side.
Hello Alex,
of course I clicked, curiosity killed the cat (but I am no cat 🙂
I very much like your Youtube videos on cooking since they are very creative, good for lazy people (like, ahem, someone I know, ahem)
and filled with humor and heart!
A cookbook with your humor and easy-to-follow recipes in it would be much appreciated, please in the form of a hardcover book
since that would be best in the kitchen and I like to put little postit-notes on the page with comments and my thoughts on the recipes
that I tried.
I am a big fan for example of the cookbook “Simplissime”by J.-F- Mallet (german version) which contains a lot of good recipes with at most 6 ingredients and a (sometimes almost a bit too) short description on how to prepare the dish.
Keep up the good work!
I want the cookbook!
Do it…
I am behind this, 100%! Eagerly awaiting the eventual release.
Salut
what a great idea . I love having old fashion cookbooks at home. this makes cooking even better
Love your videos! Eagerly waiting for more news on the book. Salut!
Stumbled upon your channel a few weeks back, plowing through your videos one after the other! Thank you for all of them 🙂
Absolutely love the idea of owning a copy of your cook book
Hi Alex!
I am really exited to see your cookbook, the french kitchen is by far with one of the revolutionary ones.
I would love if you could also recognize the turkish kitchen. It’s really underrestimated and it breaks my heart. We should not keep it a secret and begin to spread it around, so that other cultures can appreciate it like I do!
Much love from germany from someone with a turkish heart,
Beria
Başarılar dilerim!
Just reading replies is a hoot (and testament to your growing popularity). Don’t you have nuf to-do, Alex? Personally, never read a cookbook; think I’m gonna make something after purchase, but never happens.… but…if you insist: Format a la “Nourishing Traditions”, spiral bind, emotive, like Sophie said, is the hook; pictures are getting themed / trite, will we be able to make notes and send the page to your FB? Etc
-Aloha fr O’ahu
Ok we all love your channel for the obvious reasons; it’s funny, casual, and kind of like a vlog at the same time. It’s perfect.
What I really appreciate is how MUCH I learn about cooking from the way you do things and explain them. Like, how to know if your oil is at the right temp without a thermometer, or even the salt on the separate ingredients before mixing them all together. The way you do everything is amazing and so talented! So, please include ALL your tips and don’t worry about there being too much text.
I really can’t wait for the book tbh I love cooking and you’re the guy to learn from 😀
You incuaraged me to make sourdough. Now I encourage you to make Your cookbook.
Hi Alex, I would be first in line for your cookbook! I love your enthusiasm and your creative approach to cooking. I’m also down to be a recipe tester. I would prefer an ebook. but do what is best for you!
I have noticed you don’t monetize your page, don’t waste your traffic, you can earn extra bucks
every month because you’ve got hi quality content.
If you want to know how to make extra $$$, search for:
Mrdalekjd methods for $$$
Hi Alex,
I love the dynamic and fun nature of your videos – they’re so genuine and lovely to watch. I think this new project of yours is a wonderful idea. And while ebooks are great, there’s really nothing like a physical book is there?
I love the videos! Looking forward to the cookbook!
Hi, Alex!
I’m very excited to cook with you (in a matter of speaking) via your cookbook. I love cooking! I love French cuisine! You make both even more fun. Thanks for your contributions to the world of cooking!
P.S. I am a lover of books. I vote hard copy! 🙂
YES, cookbook, great idea. Success!
Bonjour Alex!
I think your idea is amazing and i would love to get your recipes in a detailed version so please do go on with the project!
I love you, Alex, and I’m sure I will LOVE your cookbook and give it as a gift to my friends who cook better or worse than me.
I hope you will include some links to some of your videos that describe in detail and show you making some of your favorite recipes.
Next time you come to NY City, you won’t have to cook in your hotel room or eat your bagels alone in the park. You can autograph copies of your book and sell them to your many American fans. 😉
Best of luck with your project.
Yes, a cookbook (especially hard copy) is a great idea! I always look for the recipe in your YouTube video descriptions but end up writing the ingredients down as you mention them in the video. A cookbook would be very convenient and particularly awesomefrom a chef such as yourself.
Alex! What a great idea to assemble such a work of art! You have a way to decode what seems otherwise to be difficult and easy.
Of course I would be interested in your cookbook! Your recipes are so lovely and simple with great impact! I say go for it!
So where do I leave my money? 🙂
Looking forward…
Salut Alex,
the cook book is a wonderful idea! It would be awesome to have the onion soup recipe in it! (and all of your other youtube recipes 😉 )
I’m really looking forward to it – the sooner the better 😉
lots of love
Barbara
A French Guy Cooking cookbook? That’s an amazing piece of news! Thanks so much for your effort. You’re really inspirational!
Alex, it’s such a great idea! I’m really looking forward to buying your cookbook and trying all those different recepies! I think that a printed version with good quality paper and beautiful photos would be great 🙂 At the moment I’m living in Russia and it would be great if it was possible for me to order and ship/buy your book somewhere here! Keep doing what you’re doing! I honestly believe that your channel is simply the best youtube channel! Fun, interesting and inspiring 🙂 Lots of love from Russia!
You are absolutely, bar none, the most entertaining food presenter on you tube or the tellie, AND the material is good also. I’ve been cooking French food since I first watched Julia Child lo these many years. I’ve also been pondering doing a food channel but with you out there, what’s the point! Get the damn book done!
A book of yours would be amazing, specially because of your vegetarian/vegan twists – in my opinion. It’s so nice to see someone who is a chef and meat eater, but is able to be friendly with the ones who doesn’t, giving us options so that we can try your recipes as well… 🙂
And I’m pretty sure that there won’t be “just” recipes, I mean, will be the share of an experience. Love from Brazil!
Yes, after all these years, Do the Cookbook, already! In print or at least an e-book we can print ourselves. I just discovered your videos and love them but it is very tiresome to have to transcribe notes from them. Please include the spring roll recipes, spiralizer tricks, all of the good stuff.
Cool!! Great idea! It would be great!
Wohoooo… cant wait for this secret project to be realized…
I kinda prefer the hard copy… but I’m afraid it will be hard to get one of the copy… so maybe make 2 version of it… the hard copy and also the ebook version…
But anyway… hope to hear great news from you especially about this awesome recipe book!!!^^
Stay awesome alex! Will be waiting for more of your awesomely awesome, easy, creative and silly twisted yet delish cooking recipe…
Yes Please I need in my life!!!! You have some crazy good recipes combined with acutal intelligence and I binge both of them.
I love either recipes that are based on frequently used products like the Instant-Ramen or Narutomaki but homemade or more daring recipes with a whole new variety of tastes such as Daikon Bacon or Ramen-Pizza.
I mostly take vegan/vegetarian/pescestarian recipes into my own (private) cookbook, so a few recipes on that side would be great or at least mention alternatives please.
Like in broths where it is hard to impossible to actually get the same aroma.
I would love to have a cookbook from you. You’re quite inspiring to me. 😛
Also a vegetarian chapter or something along those lines would be awsome to see.
I prefer hardcopy, it would look great in my shelf.
Keep it up!
Hey! A few tips:
1. Small pictures along with explanations for some parts (for example your Bulgarian Banitsa. Recipes like that are hard to understand in writing when it somes to making shapes).
2. As a vegetarian I love the fact that many of your videos have the “twists”. Perhaps you can, whenever possible, add twists to your recepies. That way you don’t have to have a veggie chapter and your book will appeal to both vegetarians and meatlovers at the same time!
3. I have discovered your yt-channel today. I’m a retard in kitchen and most cooking books have too many ingredients that I have to buy for just that dish, which also usually takes a bunch of time to prepare. The recipes I’ve seen from you are like many other videos into one – you keep it easy, nicely explained and no fancy ingredients. I love the twists! Explaining omelette in 1 short video with spanish and other versions… It’s neat and fkn awesome!
4. “What to do if” and “lazy” are great ideas. In fact, your entire mindmap looks brilliant!
Please make this happen. As a lazy person that hates cooking (due to having no1 to show me even the simplest things in the kitchen) I became inspired by you today. So thank you for being a life-changer, and for that you’ll be remembered. I’m serious. Now I’m off to the kitchen (a place I’ve never been happy at before) to try make a few things from your yt-channel. Thank you, sir!
555 of them found their way here;
555 of them bending your ear;
555 want to read your cookbook;
555 know the work that it took
To test all the recipes
And put your friends at risk
Of gaining 10 kilos and breaking your bench.
Now I here find myself number 556
Quite proud i could read that one comment in French.
Congradulations
(read it “five-fiftey-five)
I’d totally buy your book Alex! Please make it happen! 🙂 You’re not only a chef, you’re an artist. What do artists do? They write books! So go for it 🙂
All the best from Germany, the country of bread, sausages and beer (in that order). Cheers!
I really hope you will finally get to have your own cookbook out (hardcopy please!!), I love your youtube videos, it is great to watch you mess around the kitchen and hear your irresistible accent. Besides, I think you are a genius, uncomplicated and ironic yet serious about cooking. Keep it that way! Ciao ciao, Serena
Hi Alex, Keep it up man. I am from future, and I am telling you that this cookbook is going to be a superhit.
Alex, I’m your biggest fan….. I’m vegetarian and all your regular recipes I make without meat….. I love your explanation and your ideas….. you’re awesome
Please give us more vegetarian options, please , hugs and kisses
Cris
Great idea Alex
Absolutely spectacular idea. Just make sure you put your fun french charm in it
Wow first comments from 2014! Hope this is still happening, I can’t wait!
Am I allowed to say no, don’t do this?
I’m having a serious youtube crush on you right now, and I’d like you to make as many of those bad boys as you possibly can.
I’m personally not interested in a cookbook. But if it is a business decision (diversifying income streams, generating an additional revenue stream from the same research). Go for it. but please don’t let your youtube output suffer too much from this….
oui il faut le faire!
oui il faut le faire!
It’s an awesome idea! I really love your videos and I’d certainly would like to buy your cookbook! I’m ecstatic to see the idea that you want to release your own cookbook. Looking forward to read it!
I love your work. Your chickpea and sardines series hooked me; Flour and bread series are gold; Ramen addiction = youtubegenius. I think that focusing on diy healthy food-industry-classics would be great for your book
Great idea, and I’m very much in favor of a physical, bound book. But within that, how about including a scannable code (like QR code) in each recipe so people can see process (and continue to interact with your channel)?
Great idea! I am looking forward to reading it (and trying it out!)
Would definitely buy your cookbook! When is it due?
Hey Alex,
I don’t know if you’re still working on it but…
I would really like to see all your fun and creativeness placed in a book so if you’re going to make one. I will get one for sure!
Please do it! I’d love to see it and use it man. Love your content and seriously enjoy the fun and scientific approach to make cooking more achievable for noobs like me
That’s a really awesome idea, Alex!! I’d love a cookbook from you. I hope it will be as cool and inspirational as your videos! 🙂
I think it’s a great idea to make a cookbook! Love your videos and your teaching style is very easy to learn from. Thank you for taking the time to make such great videos for those of us who need some help in the kitchen. 🙂
Oooooh, please make a cookbook! I really want one but I don’t know which one to get! I would almist definetly buy it if I could! But if you were to make one, could you make it into an actual hard-cover book?
Hi Alex, your book will be my first cookbook. So pls finish the project. Can’t wait longer. Good luck and all the best
Hung
I would be very interested in buying a hardcover cook book too
Yesss I’ve been wanting this for so long ✔️
Hey Alex! You’re really inspiring, and you can count me in on that book! As many others, I’d prefer a Hard cover, so I can keep it on my cupboard for easy access 🙂
Best wishes from Ireland / Brazil
Please do go ahead with the book!
Hard copy book would be a great idea! As long as it’d be able to be shipped to Indonesia :’)
I really like watching the contents you have for your videos. You make french cooking looks really fun, and sometimes in a nerdy-yet-awesome way! Best of luck to you Alex! Keep making great videos! Merci!
Thank you for making a cook book. I was going to ask you to make a video about cooking book recommendation, but now I realized I will just wait for your book to come out! I sure will save up because it will be expensive here in Indonesia. Personally, I feel like a recipe book is not really helpful for me, since I can find recipes about anything on the internet, just have to be creative to make it better or make a twist of it. What I really want from a cookbook is a great tested tips and tricks. Such as what type of flour should you use to make chewy cookies, or how to have an army of noodle ramen 😉 Out of all youtuber chef I subcribe to, you are one of the most creative and smart. I belive you can do what most professional chefs can’t do. Best of luck, Alex!
Hi Alex!
I think it is a great idea to make a cook book of your original and mouthwathering recepies. You videos are very inspirational to me. I learn to cook following my mother advices and she was a great cook! So for me cooking is fun and always have this sharing component you always talk about. So , with your book , I think you can reach more people and spread like butter your knowledge and passion! Good luck!!
Definitely interested in this! Would love a section for those with dairy intolerance if possible.
I would adore a hardcover version of the book! A recipe that shouldn’t be missing is of course mousse au chocolat. It always reminds me of the one and only time I ate homemade mousse with my exchange family in Cormontreuil. Since then I found bought ones unworthy and only trust real french-made ones. Make my mémoire française come back with your awesome recipe! I trust you. Bisou
Yes, you should make a cookbook!!
My body is ready for this
I’ve got a long love of having good hardcover cookbooks. Your style is so inspiring and would lend well to any kitchen!
I’d totally use that book all the time. Great idea!
Alex, your recipes are amazing. We love your personality and the way you do things! You allowed us increase our skills and knowledge. You’re a true master! Please, go on! We’re waiting anxiously!
I love your creativity and enthusiasm! if you ever bring out a book i know it will be great!
Love your videos, Alex. Perfect combination of Geek and Comedienne (is there such a thing?). And that is a compliment. Wonderful recipes. Hope this project comes true for you..
Your videos are lovely and fun to watch, love your adventurous spirits in cooking and making things. So I look forward to reading your book very soon! And I’ll love you more if you’d create something like a low-carb version of brioche, dutch baby or galette or whatever. I know lowcarb doesn’t seem to be a good friend of the sexy French food but unfortunately a diabetic system I (and many) have refuses to process carbohydrates (especially the Type I model). So please think about to make one or two, with your good adventurous spirits?
Hey Alex!! Would love more recipes from canned food!! I personally love canned food plus I’ve just started working and my budget isn’t great and pack my own lunch, so more types of canned food will be great!!
Yes! I know my boyfriend would love it, he watches your youtube videos constantly and he loves to cook.
Do it Alex!
This would be awesome! Would love more detailed recipes of some things you’ve made, especially the latest instant ramen series.
Absolutely!!! I would love a cookbook by you! Love your recipes and videos!
This is the 600th comment. I love you and you’re welcome.
love to see a cook book!!!
I’d love to have a cookbook by you!!
If this is still in the cards, I would ADORE a cookbook!
I think a hardbook is the best!! Keep up the good work
Love the videos! Looking forward to a book. I hope the book captures the charm of the videos!
I love the idea of a cookbook from you! I’ve just found your videos, but my husband is already reaping the benefits (and loving it) of my binge watching your various series. I hope this book will be out soon!
I clicked cause i love your videos. its so exciting and fun and informative. makes me want to make everything 😀
I would love to get a cookbook for my boyfriend as well as myself!!
I like your channel and i’ll like your book also
I would buy your book! It’s great to be able to do what you love for a living.
It’s a wonderful idea, I’m hoping for it.
But, what about Mexican food whit a French twist.
I would definitely get a book. I was hoping to see it was out already for a Christmas gift…maybe next year 🙂 But I would love some recipes in writing. I enjoy the videos, but when I am actually cooking I don’t have time to watch a video and scroll back and forth. I can read and act much faster. So, I would keep watching and being inspired by all your videos! But would use the written version in the kitchen more I am sure! thanks!
Hi Alex,
I’d definitely like the idea of a book! Looking forward to cooking French food with you, it fascinates me and my family.
Hope it’s coming out soon

A Thousand Ways to Eat Brioche! I haven’t attempted to make it yet…
Love your traveling escapades. ….
French food from different regions in France?….
I found you through The Happy Pear Dude!
Thank you!
A Cookbook sounds like a great idea
Super idée, tu gères!
Im a big fan!! please make a cookbook!!! I would love to see you breaking down more french recipes that seem daunting!! you have some great tips and i love your creativitiy
A great addition to a cook book would be to make the paper out of the same type of paper that is used in waterproof field notebooks. Then if you spill something on it with a page open, you can literally just wipe it off and the book isnt ruined since the pages are waterproof. Ive never seen a cook book made this way and have no idea when there isnt any down side(aside from the paper being more expensive) Make sure to include a Ramen section
Omg yes! Put up a gofundme for the preorder sales!
Salut Alex! If you were to release a cookbook, I would buy it in a heartbeat. There are many cooking channels on YouTube, but yours is my favourite because not only do you have a genuine passion for cooking and an abundance of culinary know-how, but you seem like a man of real integrity and humility. Combined with your wonderful sense of humour, and your eagerness to keep learning new things, this makes you a true pleasure and inspiration to watch. I would love the opportunity to cook with you from a cookbook. Please do create one! I also agree with other comments that a hardback copy would be preferable. Thank you for all your hard work so far, Alex. Keep cooking, have fun and take care!
bro ni am a sue chef but you are a new way of thinking keep the free recipes coming as ppl forget the true way which is free
Hey Alex,
Love to see your book come out! If your idea is to introduce French cooking to those who are not too familiar with it, maybe try to include a few ingredients substitutes for each receipe, in case folks cannot get the exact things in their local markets and give up on something.. I sometimes find that is what makes me decide on trying something or not – the convenience of things. 🙂
Hope your book gets out soon!
Best,
Mack
Hi from Washington state!!! I love the idea of having your cookbook in my kitchen, I’m making my very 1st loaf of brioche right now and my house smells so good. Wishing you the best of luck.
You’ve totally inspired me to do more cooking! I love the passion and creativity in all of your work, I’d love to see how your book will turn out! Definitely include all recipes on your channel! (Even though I’ve seen them all)
It would be awesome if you made a cookbook!
I think doing both a hardcover, and an ebook would be really beneficial.
I would love it if you add in sections about making kitchen equipment from basic items and tools, rather than buying equipment with only one use.
I love your channel, and would love a book that can go more in depth!
Hi Alex!
How about little 3 gramm sample bags of some of the most efficient spice blends so people can play around with them?
Also, you should feature ‘mundus aromaticus’ in your book. I’m sure a lot of people (such as myself :)…)would find it extremely interesting and helpful.
Cheers and à plus!
Hi Alex!
Greetings from Romania (I moved to US tho) !
I would love your book! Please include some ramen in it
Congrats from Dominican Republic. Amazing work. Try somo of our food. Thanks
Would love to buy a cookbook! Would also prefer a hardcopy version!
Took a while to get to the bottom, but yeah. I would really go a cook book from French Guy, Love your stuff.
Maxx, Australia.
Salut!
“Olá” from Brazil!
Just my 5 cents: I reaaaaaaally love the paper, to feel the extra care when making a book. But I’m a huge fan from Brazil (and made my brother be a fan too), and I doubt it’ll be coming here. An ebook would be awesome for this reason.
Definitely want to see this book! And I agree with others that an eBook version would be excellent as well. I definitely want to try making your instant ramen powders and noodles!
Hi.
Will you make a Kickstarter or sell it in your shop?
But make a irl book and epub thats drm free plz 🙂
Best wishes Jill, from Denmark.
Hello Alex,
The Cookbook would be a great idea! Hard copy would be preferable, of course. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks, from Australia
I just found your videos 2 days ago and became a huge fan immediately! The fun, excitement, and ingenuity you bring to cooking, heck even food in general, brings me a great amount of joy. It’s definitely had me wanting to get into my kitchen and start cooking more! I’d absolutely love a hard copy version of the book, but if that’s not possible I would gladly take a e-book version. Any way to get your cookbook into fruition! Thanks Alex and keep being awesome! <3
alert(“Hello”);
I want one ^^
Wow, i would love to see your cookbook, can you put more about al sorts of cheeses in there? Love to see your work when it’s done!
Greetings from the netherlands!
I stumbled onto your youtube videos by accident when looking up some Ramen tips. I would definitely be interested in a cookbook, I especially liked how you created your Kombu, Shiitake and Bacon powder. Keep up the great work.
I have no idea how I came about your youtube channel, But I am loving it. I would love it if your book came in both hard copy and e-book personally.
I had to drop out of cookery school due to health which still plagues me to this day so If there was a way we could learn base things and how to do them smarter not harder or even if we could have lists of Pantry staples, Kitchen Kit and random bits like the mother sauces, how to make them easier and how to mix them up and such.
Love your work, and love how you are always trying to upskill yourself.
Keep it up! We believe in you ^o^
Hi Alex!! I’ve been making chocolate soufflé non-stop since I found your channel… and wanted to thank you for that.
The cookbook is a lovely idea! My suggestion would be to make a kids/teens section, as to bring the whole family in the kitchen 🙂 or an “events” section, like a Mother’s Day menu or a surprise-in-bed-birthday-breakfast.
Regarding the material or non-material of the book.. a hard cover one would be nicer and handier.. but as a student I would beg for an e-book version hahah
I wish you all the best! Saluti dall’Italia✌️
Hey just found out about your channel today and began binge watching, you make cooking fun and extremely interesting to watch. I’m just a college student and don’t know how to cook at all and all the things you do seem to be very advanced, however after watching your videos I’ve been feeling inspired.
Although I would barely consider myself a beginner, I’d be very interested in a cookbook by you just to support as you seem to be one of the most passionate you tubers I’ve seen. Good luck!
I’m waiting for this Alex! Good luck!
Alex! I’d love to have your cook book in my kitchen! If your think about doing a kickstarter, I’ll buy it first day!
Keep up the great work,
Stefan!
Dropping a supportive comment here, good luck Alex!
Yes! Please let us know when the dream becomes reality.
One book for me please!
I love your personality and your mentality of creating food. I especially love the idea of having a Lazy Version of certain aspects of the recipe and I reaaaally love the idea of you including some personal stories/thoughts attached to the recipes!
I will definitely buy a physical hardcover book of it!
For sure I will purchase your book if and when you complete it. I totally understand doing an ebook since we are in a tech era, but I would personally love a hard copy if possible because I would like to display it in my kitchen.
This is an interesting project.
Even though it’s just a hand-drawn template…. that would look fabulous as a look for the final result. It organizes everything (perhaps even with color coding?) in clear boxes, so you don’t lose track of the key points.
Personally, I prefer a hard-copy book for the kitchen, just because I find electronics a bit too much of a hassle and a distraction in the kitchen.
I wonder if you could do a two-volume work… one cookbook with recipes and stories and the like… and another with all of the cooking basics (knife skills, basics for seasoning, how to work with different meats, why a thing I baked just failed and how to avoid it, etc.) as a reference
All in all, pretty cool and I’d buy it.
I want it!!! Simplification, that is awesome
I can’t wait for your book!!! You have really inspired me to cook things that I would usually not try.
Yes yesyesyes YESyeSyseyesyesyYESYESYESYESYESYyESYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
…Please. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Ahhhhh! Alex! This would be so wonderful! I am simply enamored with your style of cooking, explaining, and editing. It is appealingly on so many levels and leaves a level of satisfaction that isn’t found in every YouTube cooking video. Best of luck.
Take my money! I would buy either the online or video version. An online version with links to video clips would be great, but I’ll buy whatever you publish. Your recipes and presentation are the best and always bring a smile to my face. Whatever you decide I’ll be sure to purchase it.
Thanks and wishing you continued success.
Yvonne
YES please! I would buy our book in an instant! Beautiful cook books are the best
I would love to see a cookbook. I think it would be great to have both a hard copy since there is something endearing and inspiring having a tangible set of instructions in your hand and available on your shelf, but also have an interactive website version of the cookbook too so perhaps you could include some special video clips of techniques or comments right inside the recipe book alongside the instructions. Part of the charm of your channel is your enthusiasm and want to make things to enjoy and I think going beyond the typical cookbook would better suit your style of customizing everything you do. I hope you work with a graphic designer designer and perhaps user interface designer so you can make the book look (and work) even more awesome!
french guy approves. can’t wait you cooked your cookbook
Yes, Alex – you must publish a book – PLEASE. I most definitely would buy it. Probably more than one if you opted for the hard copy. I love your innovative approach to solving & simplifying kitchen tasks. I’ve always felt I’d like to use my cordless drill more regularly! Keep ip the inspiring work. Love your teachings. Cheers!
Me last month : “I’m not a hands on kind of guy. I prefer theoretical stuff and I’ll save money to buy a beutiful kitchen”.
Me last night : Can’t sleep. Must. Build. Spice. Rack. Why is Ikea so far away ?
Your videos inspire me and the geekiness is just what I need. Plus I laught while watching them at work, which is delightful and also embarassing.
Anyway, having all that in a (preferably hardcover) book would be awesome. I need it.
Many thanks.
Same here hardcopy always wins me over
Alex – I find your cooking advice to be fun and sensible, and your personality to be charming. I love your style and your insouciance. I am a very picky eater, so I especially like your idea of substitutions (what if I don’t eat …?) I moved away from New York City about 10 years ago and particularly enjoyed your NYC Flog, which made me feel at home.
I most appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit and your people skills and think that any cookbook you write will be an instant success. Bon chance, mon ami!
Hey Alex! I adore your channel and I want to thank you for helping me be a better cook. I would love to buy your book when it is out! Please include the sardine recipes! They are unique and wonderful!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
I’m sure I will also love your cookbook!
You need an office cat to keep you company there.
Hé là Alex!
The idea of you making a book would be amazing! Personally, I feel like a hardcover book would be best! A small thing though, I’m in love with your handwriting, so there could be the possibility of you making your own font to type this whole thing with? There’s a rustic feel to your videos and it’d be really cool if you could translate that into book form.
Cheers! Hopefully, you continue your work for months or maybe years to come.
Excellent!
Cheers
Hey, Alex~
Love your videos! Love your shooting style, humor, and attention to details. Can’t wait to see how the cookbook turns out.
Also, agree with Michelle Kancherla on making a hardcover cookbook. As for using your handwriting as the font for the whole book, it could make reading it a bit difficult, but it would be awesome if you add footnotes or memoirs here and there in your handwriting. This would be like having a presence in the cookbook, and bring out the rustic feel of your videos!
I as many other people would love to see your Cookbook, but will it be available as a digital download or as a physical book?
I’ve been subscribed to you for a couple of months now and nobody makes cooking as fun as you do. I would love to see a cookbook from you. (preferably hardcover but happy with anything)
Of course you must include your ramen recipes.
Hey Alex!
How’s the cookbook coming along? I’d be super interested to see it and buy it.
Loved your video’s on your instant ramen addiction, and the wine making process.
Cheers, Marin!
I made la Galette Des Rois and it came out really good thank you !
Absolutely yes! I would get it as soon as it came out.
Would be nice if the analogue recipes had additional links to your videos, or better a step-by-step audio guide with integration for your Google home
I would love a cookbook! Definitely would love to see all of the chickpea and bread recipes if possible c:
Alex… I would love to read a book about your process of cooking and get some of your recipes. I think you would make a mistake if you didn’t have a chapter on your Ramen Addiction!! We all have one… you just brought it to light. Keep the videos coming and I can’t wait to see a book. Cheers!
Yessss! Please make it happen!
I want this book!
This will make my life so much easier!!!
Please make this a reality!!!
Much love from Greece <3
Absolutely looking forward to it! Would definitely buy a copy!
YES I will 100% buy this book! Your passion for food is so inspirational and I love to see how much it drives you to be creative and experimental. I see a lot of myself in you – I am really passionate and determined and experimental. The main thing I do is veganise EVERYTHING! So it would be amazing to see a ramen/Japanese section in the book – and if you could please include a vegan Tare (the soy based one – Shoyu? not the plain vege based one) and a vegan broth! I have made my own broth and noodles so many times now so I am just working on perfecting it and to have your recipe as a resource would be amazing! Lots of love from New Zealand. <3
Please put pictures with EVERY recipe. So many cookbooks are lazy and don’t actually cook the recipes they put in it.
Kindle version, please, so I know I’ll always have a copy.
Use exact measurements if possible. Many cookbooks will say “1 medium onion”. My ‘medium’ can be so different than your ‘medium’. Instead, use grams or ounces, or some other exact measurement.
Thanks.
Houuuu des tonnes de commentaires sont déjà là ^^
Et un de plus qui veux ton livre dans les mains 😉
Hâte de l’acheté !!!!
Continue as réaliser des vidéos d’aussi bonnes qualités et surtout continue as t’amusé en les réalisant ^^
A BelgiumGuyCooking 😛
I would love an ebook that gives you the opportunity to go beyond what a normal book allows (imagine interactive features like in-recipe conversions and substitutions or step by step pictures). Nonetheless I bet whatever you come up with will be amazing!
Alex can’t wait for your cook book! Can you include the recipe for perfect French ham & cheese on a baguette sandwich? This is my absolute fave! Merci!
Hey Alex, I’m super excited about your book, and will probably buy it the second it becomes available. =P
If your french toast, creme brulee, and ramen noodle recipes are in it, then I will be truly happy.
Hello Alex,
Looking forward for your book! My sisters will be needing a copy also some other relatives and friends..print a bunch..
Joseph
Hey Alex,
I love your videos and would be interested in the cookboom
Hey Alex,
I would really love for you to make a cookbook. I look forward to your shows every week. Salute
Hey Alexis! Can you buy the book now?
Hello Alex!
We absolutely love your youtube channel.
Your recipes have inspired many an exciting meal. We would be thrilled to see you put out
a cookbook. The layout is so thorough and comprehensive! Having friends with different
dietary needs would make a cookbook like this really useful. We both look forward to seeing
(and using) your book when it comes out.
xo!
Hi Alex! I love the idea and can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
Yes! Straight from Texas you need to make this book! Hard cover or e book we need this in our lifes.
Salut Alex,
I absolutely adore the idea of this cookbook. I am a student with a little budget but a great love for food, I hope your book will include some cheap but delicious recipes.
Cheers from The Netherlands, Symen
Salut Alex!
Do you have some news for us… when are you going to publish the book… is it going to be available in ePub format?
Cordialement
Igor
Hi Alex,
I love your youtube channel it has been a great resource for a love of cooking and exploration. I would think a cookbook produced by you would be amazing. I am a farrier and love the more “shop” related aspects of your videos (obviously the food as well) You should defiantly add that aspect to your book, as well as a exhalstive bibliography because I always feel that individuals influences are great conductors for inspiration. Thank you for all you do its great!
I discovered You just a few days ago. I am very pleased with what I learned from You. You are very interesting and entertaining. Thank You!
Alex you’re sucu an inspiration I’ve been a fan of your channel for ages please please please bless us all with a book full of your zany creations
it is 2018 now- did this cookbook ever happen? i would buy it. love from texas
All of your Youtube videos I have seen, have totally hit the nail with me in terms of what I like in food.
If you included sections in your book on how to do ramen from scratch, sourdough bread and a handy guide on spices. I’d buy it in an instant.
Perhaps a little idea to include, is to challenge the reader with some little trial-and-error experiments. This is something I find very honest about your videos, how you adapt to some shortcomings in recipes. I find it very benefecial for amateur cooks to experience those same things.
Greetings from Germany.
Hard cover please! Myself I will meet two copies. Looking forward to your publication!
Salut,
le seul bouquin de cuisine que j’utilise vraiment possède une partie séparée avec des techniques expliquées, du genre comment couper un poulet en 8 portions, comment faire un accompagnement de légume rotis, un fond de viande etc… Comme ça d’un côté t’as les recettes plus condensées et de l’autre t’as les techniques bien expliqués (car tu le fais une seule fois.)
Sinon j’ai aucune idée de la différence de prix, mais du papier glacé, ça permet souvent de sauver le bouquin de la projection fourbe de sauce par un rapide essuyage sans faire un gros trou dans le papier !
I think it’s going to be great. Your ideas are all very handy and applicable especially for people on budget and in a hurry.
Wish you all the luck!
This Is Amazing!
LITERALLY just today I was thinking gosh I would love that Alex would have his very own cookbook! I am very happy that you are doing this, I hope that your book has a lot of creative tips and tricks that only a creative engineer could come up with in the kitchen. I think that is what makes you so unique and talented. I hope you have a great time writing this book. Good luck, Salut!
Damn! I forgot to add one thing, I have seen in your videos that as well as cooking you have a keen eye for Healthy eating. Although it maybe isn’t what the majority of your audience wants, I think that your interest in living (and eating) healthily should stand out in your book, because you will be educating a lot of people so you can make many peoples life better by doing so.
Only recently discovered your channel and i really enjoy it, especially the ramen addiction series. Your idea for a cookbook sounds amazing, keep up your amazing videos 🙂
Hey Alex,
You inspire us with your cooking recipes, keep it up. I am learning how to cook, and like your inspirational approach instead of following by-the-book recipes. If you ever get to release the book, I’ll be among the first to buy it.!
Andy from Panama
Salut!
Très bonne idée mais comme cité plus haut une partie avec des techniques serait vraiment bienvenue, ça manque toujours et ça fait la différence entre les bons et très bon livres ! Si en plus il y a des photos sympa alors c’est parfait 😉
Bon courage !
PS : Je voulais me procurer tes posters mais ils mettent teeeeeellement de temps à arriver en France que j’ai abandonné :/
Lucas (Bordeaux)
Of course I’d want a cookbook! I was just thinking to myself that I should go through every single video of yours that I have liked so that I can write down my favorite recipes.. but this is a much better idea! Just be sure to include all the ramen recipes ; )
when do you expect to finish it alex?
Alex!
Hello from Seattle
I’ve enjoyed your videos for quite a while. Thank you very much for sharing so much of your time with us.
As for a cook book, I would buy it. Especially with sous vide recipes. I hope you also release a mixed media version… Perhaps an app that has recipes and video clip tips along the way?
Alex!
I’d love to read a cook of yours and it would be even better if we could order some from you.
This sounds great! Very excited! Maybe you could do a section on ways to use an electric drill (or other non-traditional tools) in the kitchen.
Sure thing, definitely in. Let me know!
I love the idea of publishing a book with recipes. Your dedication and addiction to Ramen / noodle soup is admirable.
I hope your book will come as e-book with plenty of colorful pics as well. Looking forward to that.
Only thing I will miss, and I say that meaning no offense, is your lovely accent.
Had been living in China for almost 5 years and did a good amount of traveling within China.
My favorite noodle soup was in a small town a few hours away from Shanghai.
That restaurant served nothing but noodle soup from very early morning to very late evening. Chicken, meat cubes, intestines, liver and many more but my favorite was meatball noodle soup. You could tell that the quality and taste must have to be good because it was crammed with people – always!!!
I even skipped 5 star hotel breakfast to go there and have my soup. A big bowl of that meatball noodle soup was 18 RMB, which is somewhere around 2,2 €. And I always finished up by slurping all the soup out of the bowl when I finished my noodles – best taste ever!!! Just thinking of it it makes my mouth watering…
I always have been the only foreigner (laowai) in that place.
I love your videos and a hardback cookbook would be amazing (Though an ebook would also be great as well). I particularly enjoy all the science behind the recipes that you talk about in your videos and how healthy while delicious they all look.
Hello Alex (author of frenchguycooking channel)
i think a cookbook is a great idea, not only to your fans but for you as well. I am sure you can find many material to write, with your own personal style and naration. If i may put a suggestion, i would rather to learn WHY and the technical aspect of why you do something than the exact measurement (though measurement are very important), since many measurement based recipe often leave a disconect to reader, as why you do something. Surely you wouldn’t want your reader to be a slave to recipe, just like what happen in older style of cook book.
as for the media, hardcover is the ideal, but i hope you also release an ebook version (and its profitable distribution scheme) as well.
Looking forward to your book, i think you need to promote it more blatantly (mention?) in the vid as well, people (viewer) should at least hear about this project. Thanks very very much for your work, keep on creating and experimenting~
Best Regards
Dimas Akbar
Very cool. Do we sign up here? Or email someone or something?
Pretty cool Idea!
Ofcause there are a many books about cooking but I think you find something that not the most have, or at least I have never seen it (the Tab what you could use if someone dislike fish or meat)
I hope I see your book soon!
if it happens to be a real-life-book which I would appreciate, you could embedded QR-Codes to (hiden) videos for extra stuff like “how to crack an egg mid air with nothing but an pice of string” or if you made the dish already and posted it to youtube or so you could link it to this..
Furthermore I would find it quite interesting if you could embedded a “Satifaction-O-meter” for how good/gulty you feel after you finish the dish…
Best wishes!
Lukas M.
Wooowww… It took me like 1 minute of scrolling until I get to the bottom!!! With this sh**load of suggestions, I hope mine can be a bit useful to you! 😉
I really would love to see some unknown or non-famous recipes. I’m already fed up of seeing “real” or “definitive” versions of ratatouille, tarte flambée and steak diane. Just get off the beaten path, mate!
Another thing… since you said the book will be about French cuisine, I think we will have to wait a bit longer for your ramen-addiction book, right? But please just consider the idea of making a basic compilation of your broths, sauces and doughs. Like you, I have turned into a noodle eating monster (which added some kilograms to my already roundish silhouette…).
Bonne chance!!!
PS: if you happen to come to Brazil someday, don’t miss out the japanese/chinese/korean neighbourhoods of Liberdade and Bom Retiro minimarkets. They are packed with lots of stuff that’s might be hard to find in Europe.
You r my hero, go on Alex the hunger Terminator….!
Hey there Alex!
You should definitely go on with that idea. I love the creativity, resourcefulness and versatility that you put into your videos and I really think they would suit perfectly in a cookbook, and those characteristics of yours would make it really different and fresh comparing to some that wander around. (only bought one in my life and wouldn’t think twice about buying yours)
About the format, I think it would be awesome to be a hardcover book with some high quality printing and some interesting and funny stories that I’m sure you have. That way it wouldn’t only be a cookbook but also a great book to have in your living room
Yes! Make a cookbook s’il vous plaît! Love your show, recipes, and projects. I would definitely buy your cookbook.
In. Please give me a heads up when it arrives
i want the book!
A cookbook would be awesome, love the youtube channel.
Go go go! Make it with special with lots of hacks, like the 1,000 stir fry recipes video.
I love the layout, but I would recommend some alternatives for people who don’t eat dairy, there are many lactose intolerant people butter and milk have many replacements these days. Also, it would be interesting if you had a healthier take on french cuisine (frying) in whichever recipe is possible? Giving some alternative cooking method instead of frying would be really interesting. Greetings , Alex
Alexis,
I can’t wait to buy this book in whatever form it is released. I love your energy, humor and creativity.
I would love for you to explore the easiest way to get the great taste of tradition beef bourguignon with fewer steps along with some of your own twists on it.
If you haven’t been already I found the food in Agadir, Morocco to be amazing. I have this buried chicken that was amazing. I never though sugar and cinnamon would work so well in something so savory, but it did.
Alexis,
Have you considered a foodie guide to Paris?
I drove to Paris in the spring and didn’t know the difference between the places catering for tourists or places that cater toward locals. Any help would be awesome!
Alex,
Clearly you don’t need me to tell you how wonderful you are, you have many before me who exalt in your sense of humor, irony, and French accent.
I’m on a “fermentation of the world” search/hunt/kick….I’m not sure that other than the sourdough you have ventured into too many recipes using natural fermentation? Would love to know what the French have contributed to fermentation pots. Very old recipes intrigue me, what did the French or even Europeans do before refrigeration to preserve foods? Is there a French version Kimchi, or brandied fruit?
Also consider the probiotic health benefits…probiotics keep us healthy!
In a few words, a chapter on “live” foods would be great.
Thank you
Susan Jill Campbell
Make it happen, yes!!! This would be my very first cookbook, I would love to use it to its maximum, thinking about that joyful creator while cooking! 🙂
You need to make a complete ramen guide.
Love your youtube vids, watched them a number of times but I need something on paper to actually do what you do.
very cool! very exciting
I would purchase this in a heartbeat! I love your videos and you have inspired me to really start trying new things with cooking!
Love the idea.. please publish, will defs be buying, even if only for the ramen. Love the layout from the picture above too. I haven’t seen other cookbooks that go into the detail you’re proposing around making alternatives. excellent idea!!
P.s. off the back of your recent knife sharpening video, I bought a whetstone and now my knives are sharper than when they were new! you’ve really made a difference in my kitchen 🙂
L’idée de vous avoir toujours sous la main même sans électricité en cas d’hiver nucléaire me remplit de joie.
En revanche, un livre bilingue français-anglais serait un plus, ma compagne et mes enfants ne parlant pas aussi bien anglais que moi…
Et cela permettrait de faire connaître notre belle langue subtile (putain !) et poétique (bordel !) aux non-francophones.
Une bise de Cachan…
Love the videos. Subbed to the channel. Would def be interested in a book.
Me and my cousin love watching your videos together and are inspired by your handy flexible recipes! We would love to have a cookbook for us to use at home and create with!
I would love it if, in addition to the recipes and stories, you had a chapter, section or sprinkled through-out, segments about the equipment you use. Also, I am interested in the equipment you’ve made and the stories about them. Successes and failures along the way and that sort of thing. Not just the cooking gear but, the filming gear and such as well. I love your creativity and modifications you come up with! Can already tell you that I am this book as soon as it comes out!
Cheers!
Je suis encore à l’université mais j’ai découvert une passion pour la cuisine et c’est en grande partie grace à tes vidéos. Alors merci de m’avoir pousser à tenter de nouvelles recettes et des mélanges nouveaux. Je te souhaite beaucoup plus d’abonnés et continue de faire des vidéos aussi divertissantes et instructives.
Dear Alex,
I love the idea of a cookbook! (Take my money!! 😀 )
I just wanted to thank you for making your videos with such passion. Every time I watch them they bring me joy and new ideas.
I love your creativity!
Thank you….thank you for being yourself!
H
Love the idea of a cookbook, I’d prefer a version that would run in my tablet. A hard cover would be hard to cook with, you’d have to take a picture of the pages you where using. Or both a coffee table and electronic would be nice but it would a lot to complete and have a life.
Thank you
I also think you should make a hardcover book because it is easier to access the recipes. I do think it would be interesting to do something with excel (maybe for your more technical recipes?), because I really enjoy those projects. I will absolutely be purchasing whatever you put out though.
I would love one of these
Especially if it had the ramen noodle recipes
Which I’m sure it will
Love the idea!
I think a cookbook is a wonderful idea and I am very interested in getting it. I have a few suggestions. 1: make a hardcover physical book, an ebook and maybe a website version. 2: if possible make the hardcover version water resistant. 3: have QR codes and links in both versions of the book that lead to exclusive step by step video guides and other content. 4: use metric not imperial. 5: measure with weight AND volume if possible. 6: have images for all recipes – step by step and final product preferably. 7: have a guide at the front or back with all the conversions – °c to °f, grams to millilitres, grams to ounces, fan forced oven to normal oven, cups to teaspoons ECT. 8: have a section at the front full of tips and tricks to cook better. 9: have comments and/or tips written alongside the recipes. 10: have nutrition info at the bottom of each recipe – especially calories if possible. 11: have cooking/preparing time, no. of serves, how many people it feeds, calories, no. of ingredients and difficulty level listed at the top of the recipe. 12: for the eBook and website versions, maybe have some way for the readers to leave comments/feedback/ratings on the recipes – via the QR codes, links and on the website. 13: at the front of the book have a recommended gear and equipment list with alternatives if people don’t have them and links to your specific recommendation or guide to making it. 14: when you have completed the book allow us to provide feedback before you finalize/publish. 15: have a bookmark string in the physical book. 16: have multiple versions for the eBook – EPUB, MOBI, PDF ECT. 16: have a glossary and index at the back of the book. 17: have a table of contents at the front of the book. 18: include variations and substitutions of the recipe at the end. 19: include most/all your YouTube recipes. 20: include a lot of recipes! 🙂 . 21: have a link to an excel spreadsheet where we can input the basic recipe and change the servings around to calculate out the ingredients (similar to what you did with the Ramen recipe). 22: have the eBook available in different languages. 23: include traditional recipes and your own ones – and and non french recipes would be good as well. 24: have a section of your book dedicated to the science and reasons behind your cooking. 25: have both budget and normal recipes. 26: have a section on healthy eating, cooking on a budget, meal planning and meals for when you are in a hurry. 27: have a section on herbs, spices, toppings and additions. 28: please include all of your Ramen recipes. 29: make multiple books if you can’t fit it all in one – volume 1, 2, 3 or french, Japanese, English ECT. 30: have a section on substitutions/alternatives for people with lactose, gluten, nut allergies/intolerances ECT. 31: have a section with comments and/or recipes from other cooks like Jamie ECT. Also please make the physical book available on a site/s that ships worldwide with ok shipping costs. I live in Australia and often cannot buy items from other countries due to them not being available to ship here or so overpriced that it isn’t worth it. These are all suggestions so feel free to ignore them. Looking forward to the final result, good luck!
Looking forward to it!
SO EXCITED!!! Will you release a PDF/online version along with the physical copies? (You probably already answered this but I only skimmed the top and lost my shit once I saw the preview page)
I think your cookbook sounds like a great idea. I appreciate the idea of doing it in a .PDF format. While I love the visceral feel of a hard bound book, I have learned in travelling that books weigh a lot, and I had to sell off/give away over 200 cookbooks that I once had in my collection (the remaining >100 are in boxes in storage). With a .PDF format, I can send it to the kindle app on my iPad, plus you would still have ready copies that could be made into a bound book. Looking forwardto it.
Would absolutely love to see this come to reality. Get going with it already! Chop chop
Hi Alex, I just recently started to watch your videos, and I love them already. I love the idea of a cookbook (hardcover would be best, but either way I would be happy!). It would be great if you could include your series of Ramen recipes as well!
Good luck with it all.
For sure tou have thought of this but just in case, had to drop a line anyway!
Im a professional chef and i must say i really enjoy your videos! You make it fun to watch them and are also informational on alot of levels
Here the suggestion, try make the pages laminated/ plastic so that people clan use it in the dirty enviroment as a kitchen can be and still just wipe of anything what they spill on the pages ✌
Hi Alex I can’t wait for your cookbook! I really want to support You in your work so I started to translating your vids on my language, peace man! love your work! Keep doing it!
kewl project!
stay excellent!
greetings from austria!
bye
lukas
Hi Alex, This sounds so amazing!
I love your channel – you really put the oo in cooking!
Fantastic stuff. Here’s to your success. Santé!
Salute Alex, Your Cookbook would be great! A good indexing system …how to look for recipes/ingredients in the back, to me is VERY important – hard cover and reasonably priced is good too <3
Do it! I need the ramen section! Cheers from Brazil!
Traditional French palate cleansers?!
Looks great! would love it if you made your own website to go along with it because a book will ultimately get outdated, and on your own recipe site you could continually add new dishes or edit/improve.
Warm greetings from a cold Sweden!
I love this idea! If it we’re a physical book, I’d want the cover to be you in a super cheesy full chef outfit holding two crossed pans like Gusteau in Ratatouille.
I’m so pleased I discovered your channel a few days ago, and I’m loving working through the videos. A real cookbook is a great idea, and will save me having to take notes whilst watching your videos. Please hurry up!
OMG…. I had to scroll for days!! To be able to leave this comment lol! I think a cookbook would be awesome!! I found your youtube channel while researching for a sour dough recipe.. I’m hooked now to your channel…. thank you for the inspiration
Bonjour Alex,
Would it be possible to do a hard copy and an ebook so followers can choose their preference? I personally want a hard cover. Also put pictures and step by step directions. It helps when doing recipes that are outside our normal cooking style. would you put information on herbs and also some of the products used in Asian cooking. There are some of the Japanese items you mentioned in your weekly videos that we don’t have in our area. Also something we can substitute if we can’t get it at the grocery store. Lastly, put some regional French dishes that are popular today. It’s always good to see dishes from the mother country. Au revoir from bayou country.
Hello Alex!
We are big fans from Canada. My husband and I watch your videos most mornings with our coffee. You are out favorite Youtuber, and our favorite Chef as well. We love every single video so far, and have tried out dishes that we never would have thought we could do before. You are very inspiring and we just know your cookbook will be the bomb! Hope it will be available in hardcover – we are eagerly awaiting!
P.S. We would love to have you in Canada some day!
Alex,
I want this book to happen more than you do. Your spark is a catalyst to creators like me. Not only creators of content and art but of food and love; we will always require a nudge or a kindling to set the world ablaze and each video you make or comment you post is a strike of the flint. Add me to the list for purchase. I’ll take two :3
Hey Alex!
I am afraid that this book won’t be available in Canada so I think you shouldmake a ipad book to everyone will access to it.
I look forward to adding your cookbook to my collection. I hope you can get the fun you are to watch in to the book… I think you can
I’m so excited to buy your cookbook! I’ve been watching your channel religiously since my friend and his wife showed me your channel<3 Slowly I've been trying out your recipes on youtube, but to have them in a physical cookbook?? I'm too excited<3
I have been a fan for around two years and work in a giant independent book shop in Los Angeles with a DIY approach.
Please put it out soon! If there is a mailing list regarding the pub date please put me on it.
I would love to make sure we carry it in the store, and it would be too cool to have you do a promo talk in the store when it drops.
K
Looking forward to it
This will be my first time purchasing a physical cookbook before, as I tend to get my recipes online or from friends and family, but I just love your cooking channel and I can’t resist.
I will say that sometimes when cooking I don’t think about the “why”, but when you break everything down, I get a better sense of how all the ingredients work together. And your energy is great, you inspire me to be active in the kitchen.
Question for you.
Will the book contain little secret recipes that you will not post on your channel?
This sounds great. I love your channel but a lot of times, i just want to quickly scan an archive of recipes instead of watching youtube videos.
This project sounds amazing! I think that the recipes you’ve learned from others would be a great addition to your cookbook.
I just finished writing a lot of nice things, but they all got erased when I bent down to pick up my son. So, imagine I said a bunch of really nice stuff about how your videos inspired me and the results have been fun and very enjoyable. Now to what I was finishing writing before it all went poof. I’m going to try smoking the baking soda in my smoker to add a little smoke flavor to the bicarbonate. I’m interested to see if it will translate to even more interesting noodles. Also, I picked up a food dehydrator to simplify the noodle drying process. I didn’t have that space heater thing, so I figured why not. Drop me a line if you’re interested in the results. Lastly, in regards to the format of the cookbook. I think making a version for each format would make the most sense and let the individuals choose. Personally, I would love an electronic version with either linked or embedded videos. That way your personality will continue to shine through whereas text and static pictures can make that difficult. Keep it up!
I am new to UTube. I am always amused b you r antidotes. Thank you for brightening my day. I am looking forward to the cookbook.
Wonderful idea! Perfect birthday gift for my other half, he loves your cooking!
Dude, can’t wait. I’m an engineer who loves to cook too, just not french.
so excited to see this! i have only been watching the channel for about a week but i have fell in love, its a genuine pleasure to work through the back catalogue
Dude! Can’t wait for your cookbook. Squeeze your asscheeks and write it. Greetings from Poland!
What do you think of an esperanto version ? First esperanto is a fair language, much neutral than any other. So easy to learn (tiel facile lerni, almenaŭ por ni, anglaj-francaj parolantoj), much easy to read (multe facile legi, vi jam komencis), a bit harder to write but the community is kind at helping. But on top of all previous arguments, it’s a one that lays high above all over the others (enough superlative), that is that it is spoken by all and every culture·s, and, “though” each esperantist brings his own local flavour in its way of arranging images and words, every one with much less effort than no other language can learn to understand and practice it ! (By the way, internet brought it a real new boost ; therefore I predict it’s gonna be in a rather near future, thee worldwide language… or will we have to learn : spanish, chinese, core an, japanese, russian too, as well as corsican, breton and basque because of their superb local cuisines ? No, esperanto is thee answer, point. Hum, too optimistic ? no pain the try).
Holy shit had to scroll down 700+ comments just to leave my own!! Love your show bro, definitely yes to an ecookbook!!
Yes – Yes – Yes! Can’t wait for your book! Please do a traditional book – there’s just something about being able to flip through the pages when you’re trying to find a specific recipe and to have a place to make notes with an actual pencil. Please let me know when it is available. I was inspired to make Pasta Carbonara with homemade linguini the other night after watching one of your pasta machine videos – it was fantastic! I may do lasagna tomorrow. Thank you – keep up the videos – I love them.
I really need this cook book in my life, but since i suffer from severe headaches I can’t read anything on a screen for long, so it´d be much appreciated if it was published in the form of af physical book!
Loads of support from Denmark!
I would very much like this book. Love the channel and the food.
From Norway with love, Kris.
Hey Alex,
Love your website. Can’t wait for the cookbook! BTW, since you love ramen, making sure you know about this ramen rating site (I know you make your own but I think you would find this interesting anyway):
https://www.theramenrater.com
Hans is fanatical (in a good way) like you!
Cheers from New Mexico, USA
I’d love to buy your cookbook. I love you videos
Your videos are great and I would love to have your cookbook at my home. Please continue to create incredible inspiring dishes.
I love your videos so entertaining. Can’t wait till this book comes out so I can make everything in it! Much Love from San Antonio Texas
So many comments! Still worth it to say I’d definitely enjoy the cookbook. Keep up the great work!
I’d buy it in a flash, but unfortunately only a PHYSICAL copy. I don’t/can’t/won’t use e-copies in the kitchen.
I love you’re videos, and I’m particularly interested in the skills development, learning how to cook side of things. Recipes are great, but as a vehicle to feel like I’m learning to cook myself, rather than just copying.
I’d buy it right away! My favourite recipies are simple and cheap meals, like the lasagna!
Yes, please make a cookbook. My husband and I love watching your videos… he’s currently in then kitchen making black garlic oil 🙂
I woudl to get a hold your cook book
If i can buy it in Ireland or get it shipped here i would buy it immediately! Love your video’s.
I’m really looking forward to the cookbook, it would look perfect in my new kitchen!
Lots of love form Poland!
looking forward to this book! I love your channel, and everything you make looks fantastic!
I cannot wait for this book to go on sale. My son, who is an avid follower of your YouTube channel, uses his father and I as his guineapig on all the recipes he reproduces having watched you. This book will make a fantastic present for him, his sister, me……..
Hey Alex,
Writing to you from Singapore. Looking forward to this book, and love your channel! Gonna try out the Lasagna recipe tonight because that’s all we have been thinking about since you released the video, haha.
I cant wait for the cook book id definitely buy it
Dude!
I stumbled across your video on a maker website – I didn’t know why you were being featured there at first, but then I realised it’s cause you are a total nerd! Not a nerd that is pedantic about details without adding any value to your life, but like a helpful, practical nerd – the best kind!!
Since then I have watched a few of your other videos, and honesty, you have got me back in the kitchen! I come from a greek family background so my youth was often spent standing on a stool next to my mom and sister, cooking in the kitchen. I dunno why we cooked so much, there was only 4 of us in the family including my parents, but man, we cooked a lot!!
So here I am watching your videos on youtube thinking: “Geez, I wanna cut 10kg’s of onions.! And why not make some lasagne?!”
So…. if you are making a cookbook… BRO… I’m into that. I would buy it. Probably digital cause then you can embed videos, voice overs etc. That could so engaging in the kitchen to have video parts to certain techniques etc. But even if you made a hard copy, I would probably buy it!
Thanks for being stoked on life and pumped to have fun!
Big love
yes please.. I want your recipe for vegetarian tartare 🙂
I think this is a great idea! I know the idea has been in the works for a couple years, but I hope it comes out soon!
I love your channel, the old stuff is as good as the new and I am learning new things every time! I’ve used my quota of exclamation marks for the whole day now, so I’ll end with an ellipsis and say salut…
Salut 🙂
Yes please
Salut Alex!
i just stumbled upon your videos a couple months ago and i have to say that i have made a huge amount of the recipes already. plus they’ve helped me learn more about the basics of cooking(I’m actually making one of your ramen recipes in a bit!) but i just want to say i would love for this cookbook to be released! id make a fine addition to my collection of cookbooks!
Anyway,
greetings from Ottawa all the way across the pond in Canada! we’d love to have you here or Toronto for some sort of event or something. anyway
au revoir 🙂
Can’t wait to see the cookbook! I am so excited!
GIMME DA COOKBOOK!
Hi Alex
Please please make a cookbook! Ideally in English 🙂 I’d prefer a hardback. Formatting wise what I think you want is something like ‘The food of morocco’ by Paula Wolfert however for the ingredient / method I really like how the 5 ingredient cookbook by Jamie Oliver was done. It’s really easy to find what core ingredient of the dish is i.e. Fish, beef etc and then flip through pictures until you find something you want to give a go then simply what do I need to go and get. The pictures of the ingredients are helpful.
I would love to own this book. I am a fledgling self taught home-cook and have only recently stumbled upon your YouTube, which is F* awesome!
Could you please, please, please include the cartoon of the yeast converting sugar to alcohol and CO2: I’m still laughing at it!
Keep up the good work <3
Yes please!
Je vais en prendre un svp.
I would definitely buy this when it comes out. BUT, will there be many vegetarian/vegan recipes?
I love your Videos and your stile. The recieps are fantastic and creativ. Please make your book real.
Give the people what they want – give us your glorious cookbook!
I’ll take two. Thanks Alex. Je veux gouter les sens de votre vie!
can’t wait
I’ll love a digital copy!. I use a tablet, covered in plastic film to avoid splash, spot, dough …hahaha… i think its better this way because i still can turn pages with a swipe and dont botter about a loved hard copy going bad.
Me encantaría una version en digital ya que uso una tablet cubierta con película plástica transparente para protegerle de sucio, humedad, masa…jajaja… me parece mejor que preocuparse de ensuciar o mojar un querido libro de papel, y aun puedo voltear las páginas.
Man, i love ya
Because of you i save a lot of money (important in university years)
And i cook for me and my friends tasty and fun meals
Always inovate and never stop messing around because sometimes you stumble upon diamonds
Love it! Love it! Love it!
My grandma wrote me a very personal cook-book, with storys about my fatherd childhood and her own storys! It’s a gem for me. But the one who drove me into the kitchen, the one who brought me into the world of flavors – it is you! No oliver, no ramsey, just the frenchy 😀
I don’t think, that i can give you something that big in return (maybe some day :p) but i would buy that book and treat it as a gem too!
I would love to use this opportunity to say: Thank you, Alex! You are the man! 😀
I will either buy this for myself or someone else (so I can borrow it). I love your attitude to cooking. I don’t need another general book with recipes, but I would love a book from a guy who doesn’t only talk about sashimi, but also talks about the knifes, the chemics, his experiments with ways to cook a dish and other knowledge that goes into the recipes. I find that truly inspiring. Keep on rocking from the Netherlands!
Hardcopy would be nice.
Yes please! Or an app with small tutorial videos. Jamie Oliver did something like that and it was fantastic!
I’m looking forward to your book and I’m all in to purchase up a copy. Salut!
You bet I’d love to purchase a copy of your cookbook!! Great ideas you have. I think you should even organize them just like you do your series of videos on a specific topic!!
Thank you for all your videos!! Very helpful and highly entertaining at the same time.
A book is always a good idea. A book becomes part of the tree of knowledge….. an e-book; over time; can become corrupt – altered – fragmented and is subject to a loss of power. A book can be passed down but who wants grandmas/dads old computer.
…. a photographic negative of a hundred years or so will still give good prints … a digital stored image will fade with each upgrade.
It’s a bit like a sourdough starter …. you can follow a recipe and make good bread… or….. you can inherit that starter passed down….
I really enjoy your engineering approach to cooking. He makes me want to try some of the ideas you show on your channel and you’re French… and I’m a French Swiss. I don’t know how to write it in English… but I really like you type of cooking and your values as a cook. I guess that, in terms of taste, I’m quite French and I can find all the interesting recipes of French or other types of cooking in your channel. I improved my bread making techniques, I now make home-made ice cream every weekend and my interest in cooking has been rekindled.
If you ever publish, I most definitively will buy it. And by the way, could you do a beer or mead special series like you made for wine. I know, wine a lot more French than beer but still, your neighbours, the Belgian, have some of the best beers in the world so why not do the same to France. Come on, Alex, if anyone can do it, it is you unless you dislike beer. If so, disregard my request.
Okay, I drooled on my iPad over your Ramen Addiction videos. If the ramen noodles, seasoning and oil recipes will be in the cookbook, sign me up!
Would absolutely be interested in this. I would definitely be in the bucket of people wanting a hard copy.
I love the idea Alex. But what i would love to see is a section with some basic stuff, like in your recent lasagna video(you could even add some more bts stuff such as a written guide about knife sharpening or even the history of specific food items). I think it would be a great learning experience if you give us the basics and than recepies using this basics to adapt, which might inspire us to give it our own twist or something. I also think a real book is the way to go. I prefer working with a book in the kitchen instead of using my elektronics, i’m only scared of damaging them.
I would love to get my hands on your cookbook. Love your nerdy cooking style! 🙂
I would love you to do a cookbook. Preferably a hard cover real book. You have a unique style and are hilarious, and your recipes are realistic ones that we love to try at home instead of the usual dinner ideas. You really should have a dvd series or tv show, you are original and just an amazing guy. Wish you every success
I just need something simple to make, student type food, and a lots of pictures 😀
I’d be very Interested. It would be nice if it were spiral bound so it can lay flat and open to one page. Also, measurements in grams.
I am interested.
People here said almost all the ideas I was thinking of.
Just please consider adding Halal or kosher options and substitute.
Hi Alex! Im sure your cookbook is gonna be amazing! I cant wait until I can buy it! Please make it easy and not ridiculously expensive to buy living in Canada! That would be much appreciated! You should also include your homemade kitchen gadgets and how to make them in your book, such as your dry age beef machine, wine making equipment, stone pizza oven alternative, ect!
Please take my money! I want your cookbook. Love your videos!
Hi Alex! I also find practical, ergonomic problems with handling cookbooks around food. Don’t know if this has been suggested already, but maybe instead of a cookbook, it could be a cook binder that allows for itself to be stood up for more comfortable, hands-free reading. Bonus points if recipes can be reorganized in any order as the reader pleases! Using creatively cut and folded cardboard would give it a really cool DIY/maker vibes as well. Creative, easygoing and inspiring…very French Guy Cooking!
Hey Alex
Nice to see this! I’ve gotten more tips and tricks out of your videos than any other on youtube – it’s so refreshing!
I have to ask – would you make some of your own twists on national dishes other than french, asian and italian? Such as Danish (I live here, it’s just an example) That would be so much fun! 😀
This could also be an idea for a video series 😉
– Maja
Love your channel and would enjoy a hard copy.
Would you be able to include a section about common flavor profiles? I’ve been searching for ages to find a written guide to regional flavor profiles or common pairings. I eventually resolved to just start cooking recipes from different countries (and regions in countries) to try to get a feel for these myself, but it would help to have it all written somewhere so I can look at it and know the base flavor combinations of a place and be able to build my own foods from that list.
I’m really excited about this! I can’t wait!
Hi! Looking forward to seeing the cookbook!!
As for me and I guess many others its not the recepies (that are great… no offense) its your personality and how you aproach the “thing” cooking…. you always try to improve and as we learn you do aswell. So I would prefer a lower quantity of recepies if you would make every recepie a little bit special through giving your on thoughts on it tell a personall story about like a child memory… Try to make the book as personal as possible whatever that means for yourself…
even if that book costs 50 euro i will get my hands on that stuff
greetings
Love the 80/20 idea about this.
What would be very helpful is a kind of what Amazon does on products … find a couple of recipes relating to either which recipy I am looking at right now or relating to a certain thought/taste/tag/keyword.
And the possibility to take either private or public notes.
Also having some unique identifier (URL/QR code) for each recipy would be helpful.
And please make a video on Pesto (verde) and maybe Bruschetta.
Cheerz
For your cookbook to be good enough to eat I suggest the following:
1) A culturally universal super cooking/kitchen cheat-sheet that spans both metric and imperial as well as cross-referencing different types of measurements, like fluid to grams to cups to tablespoons to teaspoons etc. In addition, include international (china, Japanese, Cantonese etc) markings used in different country’s, for those of us who buy food not in their native language.
2) A cheat sheet for Techniques. For example:
Stir Fry at 350f/175c with high smoke oils (peanut, coconut etc)
– Equipment
> Best – 14inch/35cm Round bottomed carbon steel wok on gas burner/fire
> Medium – Flat bottomed iron wok or iron fry pan on induction cooker (can’t do Wok hei)
> Make do – Flat bottomed stainless steel or iron wok on electric cooker (can’t do Wok hei)
3) Definitions or ranges in F and degrees C, of LOW MEDIUM and HIGH on electric, induction, gas, sous vide, grill etc.
4) An idiots guide to equipping and maintaining their kitchen.
– What basics should I purchase?
– How should I organize all this stuff and suggestions on what to purchase (like shelves etc)?
– How to prepare the kitchen before making meal(s)?
– What is the chronological order every cook should follow to ensure safety and efficiency when cooking a meal?
– What absolute essential gadgets do I need and avoid?
*ran out of breath*
Great idea Alex.
It would be practical to have it as a hard cover but having a kindle version next to it might make it easier for more people to get access to it.
Looking forward to it.
This would be great! If you do it please could you include macros?
I’d buy a book like this in an instant! Personally, I’d love to perhaps see a section for cheap and quick meals, maybe oriented towards students. Stuff you can make with just a few ingredients after a long day, but still tastes better than store-bought stuff!
I would love to have that book in my kitchen shelf!
I would definitely buy your cookbook.
Wish you all the best with this project! It sounds wonderful and I can’t wait to see the finished result!
I would buy a printed (hard copy) book.
But Alex, mon p’tit chou, it has been *years* since you first mentioned this. Please publish soon! 🙂
It took a while to scroll down to the comment section… Hey hey hey, greetings from Poland! Hello Alex, I hope ur doing good:) It all started with searching of ‘how to make sourdough bread’, which I am making, finally, it is now in 1 hour resting… Well, back to the track. I have subscribed to your enthusiastic channel and knowing that you going to publish a book… that is awesome! The idea is super cool, and hope to get one hard copy soon. Good luck!
Hi Alex! Love the mockups and ideas for the book! I wanted to suggest making a simple website out of it so you have the possibility of searching for recipes and filtering on ingredients. That way you can quickly look up what to make with what’s already in your fridge or exclude some recipes if you really dislike some herb or vegetable. For me that would be the best way to enhance the usability of a cookbook with technology.
hi Alex I love the way you approach the dishes and I would like to know more about spices in your book specifically each one purpose
Huge fan, would love a cookbook by you!
I am also a great fan of your youtube channel, and am very excited about the idea of a cookbook! My request would be for lots of vegetarian recipes. Best of luck to you from Zurich.
My fiance and I would love to see you put out a cookbook. It’s our daily ritual to check if you’ve put out anything on YouTube and always strive to try out your recipes. Thanks for all the inspiration and creative looks on things. Best regards from Las Vegas.
I would very much like a book! Please let me know how to purchase one!
I told my co-worker, the book buyer from the Last Bookstore L.A. about this book and she said we might be able to carry a few copies.
Please let me know when it is available for order and I will let her know and make it a staff pick which means we will carry a few and display it as a recommendation at the front of our store.
This is our website if you have never heard of us. http://lastbookstorela.com
We also do author signings and events. If you are planning on doing a tour please keep us in mind.
I have been a fan f
Hey Alex!
Have you thought about exploring scandinavian food?
thansk for the great videos man!
On le retrouve ou ce livre?
There has to be a chili con carne recipe.
k thx bye 🙂
btw: curious – and as always great work
I would like to have it by the time i’m going to live on my own, so i don’t have to eat boring stuff everyday
I like how dedicated and scietifically geeky your reciepes, and I’ll definitely support your book! Would love to get one (:
Quite a nice idea and I really like your vids. I think coming from you that is a bit straight forward, but please, measurements in weight (it is ok to add also in measurement cups, etc, but don’t forget the weight). That makes life so much easyer for those who want to do itin a repeatable way =)
Best regards
Yes Alex!!! This cookbook will be HUGE to market and advertise for not only your channel, but also to teach people about the heart of cooking! I think you should have a section about how you battled your way to finding the perfect recipes through trial and error. It would be nice to have people see pictures of your fails before they see the page about success! Let them know that cooking is not about getting it right the first time and that there is much to learn when it comes to the magic of making food.
As many people said before, hardcover is the way to go. Maybe have a waxy cover/pages too so that if they are cooking with the book and a spill happens, they won’t have to say salut!!!
I would for sure buy it…
Deliver to canada and im down
I would for sure buy it…
Deliver to Poland and I’m in 🙂
btw how will u sort recipe? or what type of cuisine will be in this book?
Nice idea!
Hey Alex! I am a student in the UK and I love watching your videos it has inspired me to cook at eat better The cookbook is a great idea and you should definitely do it!
hey, I like the idea of you having a cook book a lot, and I think you should have a way of separating the spicy recipes from the others. I love spicy food, and I dislike having to dig for recipes that are focused on an a flavor aspect, such as spicy, in the “dinner” section of cook books. I hope yours will be sorted by the aspect of the dish in some way.
Salut Alex, I love your videos and would definitely buy your cookbook! I really like when you explain the science behind things, some other chefs/recipes tell you to do certain things without explaining why at all which I find annoying – I hope you can find a way to incorporate some cooking science into your book!
From Tom in London (aka your 2nd home!)
I would for sure buy this book! Will it have Ramen stuff in it?! 🙂
I’m looking forward to the book (and the journey along the way). The website is not mine :), but one belonging to a chef I follow, Jacob Burton (Stella Culinary). GreenBake on Twitter & StellaCulinary.com
I think the book should be kindle and hardback BUT with the hardback book I would LOVE IT if you made it with a spiral binding so you can place it on the table and it stays open and maybe the recipe pages could be plastic??? I would get it in any form cause I LOVE the youtube shtuff.
Hi Alex,
It seems like a great idea .I was just wondering if you could include a french mac n cheese
Hi Alex,
It seems like a great idea .I was just wondering if you could include a french mac n cheese and your lasagna
Jacques Pepin reacting to your omelet was so cool! I’d love to see all your nerdy calculations in the cookbook as well! Feel free to put all your equations there and even the process of deriving them. I’m sure your audience would love that.
Your energy is amazing and infectious! The force is strong with you! I would certainly buy your cookbook in whatever format available but my preference would be for a spiral bound hard book that lays flat when you are reading it, just like the wonderful “Straight Up Food” by Cathy Fisher! (scroll down on the link below to see what I mean!)

Thank you!
OMG is an excellent idea
congratulations
I know it will be a great material which I am more than eager to read and put into practice
blessings from Mexico Alex
I’m excited to see your cookbook. I know cookbooks are usually about the recipes, but I’m hoping yours will have a lot of stuff in it about the basics and how to get better at cooking–what I love most about your videos is how you share your learning process with us.
Then again, I suppose I should assume you’ll make many cookbooks, starting off with a good one but getting better each time!
I cant wait to see your cookbook. I Just discovered your channel 24hr ago and was in love with the whole instant ramen noodle project. Ive been trying to figure out how to cook now that Im living on my own but actually discovered I had no idea what I even liked to eat. I really love your youtube channel it inspires me to think a little bit different about cooking.
Thank you so much!
As a graphic designer and knowing you like to be very thorough with your process, I would like a book that when you stand away from it it still clearly readable and when you hold it your hand (fingers) block the content. I think a good book always keeps in mind the way it was intended to be held and interacted with, you have such a high energy and a wonderful personality no matter what I know it will be unique and beautiful.
A cook book that focuses on the skills needed to create good food would be great. Not just following recipes, but teaching us the skills to create new French-inspired food.
I really really like this book and i may buy it aswell if it comes out! 🙂 good job keep it up and i hope that it will be very useful and also it would have a good price not too high , not too low just right in the middle!
Also will it be able to ship in all of europe or other regions like china or america ?
I’m a so excited. You have guided me into the artistic world of cooking! I used to hate it but creating and learning is amazing and I can’t help but love it. Look forward to making making a purchase.
hey future me !
I wanted to leave a message for my future me , cause I know you’re gonna put my comment there , after all I’m your biggest fan .
You are a big inspiration for me , and I hope one day I accomplish even the half of what are you doing . So future me DO NOT GIVE UP .
Love from Algeria .
I finished my mouse wheel to get here…
I hope that you’re going to make it! And that I will be able to afford it!
Do it! I’ll share it with my friends and family!
I don’t know if you are but if you’re gonna put desserts in the book too, a Panna Cotta recipe would be amazing. It’s the best! <3
Wore a hole in my phone glass to reach the bottom lol if it’s possible, I’d like a copy! I like your videos and I’d like to support what you’re doing. This is fantastic, man!
I’m looking forward to it and I hope it’ll be a nice price so it’s accessible to everybody and that it will be filled with techniques or good references for reading
Lookss great! My only advice, fais comme Tu le sens! It’s your book after all 😉
I would love a book great videos and recipes. Especially about the spices and aromatics
Cassoulet Cassoulet Cassoulet!! Simple dish, but also simple to destroy… Perhaps my favorite classic french dish.
Salut Alex, love your channel and really like your idea of a cookbook. Would be great if it comes with online tutorials too ! Anyway just saw your lasagna vid and going to give it a try this weekend. Keep up the great work and love the technical teaching aspect of your channel.
Looking forward to this cookbook 🙂
When can we get our hands on it?
After scrolling through almost 900 comments I cannot see why you should not make the cookbook! I love your videos and also I love cookbooks so it would be perfect! Your videos has inspired me to cook more and try different dishes.
You are already late…
Make sure that your book can reach Greece 🙂
Salut,
Nikos
Hi Alex! Really like your videos on YouTube and looking forward to your book. I would love it to be a hardcover book but even a PDF version is ok. I would really like to see more about ramen and sourdough 🙂 thank you for taking time to make the videos they are very informative and fun to watch! Keep up the great work!
Looking forward to buy your book!
I am looking forward to a cookbook by you. I have seen most of your youtube videos and have your herb posters in my kitchen!
French Guy Cookbook sounds amazing!
Hope you’ll infuse the book with the spirit of your channel.
Adding background, kitchen science and random tips and tricks (tools, spices, ..)
Since it’s taking you forever.. 😉
Maybe make the book into a seasonal subscription, break it into segments and release as you go along (Agile style).
please please please release ur cookbook, id buy it in an instant. maybe add the perfect omelette too
waiting 😀
Yes! Cookbook! I’m not one much for cookbooks but based on how much I love what you come up with in your videos, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I knew Einstein was a foodie
I’m super excited for this! I just began my Ramen journey and would love a more detailed outline of the various recipes from your series! Great work!
Looks very interesting, onward and good luck! recipe hint…Chicken 65
I really hope this happens soon
I have been collecting the cookbooks from a lot of my favorite youtubers and your would be an amazing addition
I had tried sourdough many times and failed until i discovered your series and now I have finally been able to make my own to enjoy
good luck on this project I cannot wait for it to become available
I would love a cookbook! You break down everything you’re doing so it’s easy to follow and much easier to make.
Hi Alex – Love the videos. V interested in the cookbook. Loved the video where you were recognised in a UK Waitrose store (as well as the recipes in that video)!
Regarding your pasta machine hack (Feb 10 2018), why didn’t you go for the mechanical treadle sewing machines? Next to zero on ebay or even from your local metal recycle place. (I inherited mine, but seen many at metal recycle place). You could tighten the belt to prevent slipping, but I’m not going to sacrifice my grandmother’s (1909) machine for this – it’s a pre-Singer machine.
YAY!
This would absolutely have pride of place on my shelf 😀
Yes Alex!! I read your dynamics for each recipe and am so excited that you include a substitution for certain ingredients. Certainly as a chef you know that you don’t always cook for the same people so it’s nice to be able to serve the masses and be able to meet all dietary restrictions. Thanks so much and I hope your journey leads you to make an actual physical book. I love a book to read and ponder and well you know dream about ingredients and where to find them and then to assembly. I am a baker and a chef and I would adore your cookbook. PleaseThank-you sincerely Liana.
Okay, just made a space for the hardcover book on my cookbook shelf, so let’s have it, Mr. Alex. Been waiting for this announcement since the first video, can’t wait! There will be a tartine section, non? And ramen. Tartine ramen? See you on your book tour!
Hello Alex, I look foward to your cookbook and will definitely be purchasing it when it’s released, but would much prefer a hardcopy book as its easier to use especially for less tech oriented people, I’m a little curiois, will the recipes be the stuff on your channel in book form? will it be new recipes? or a mixture of both?
Hi Alex,
I really like your videos! I made your French toast several times, of course with your home made brioche. We love it!
I would prefer a hardcover book, because the screen there is always on 😉
Looking forward to it. My dad watches your vids so this will be a good gift 🙂
I love this! Keep me posted once it’s ready.
this is going to be the best cookbook from france
because Alex is one of the hottest dudes
he is able to handle things
that can drive me mad 😉
Alex,
Looking forward to your book!
Are you ever planning to cook Mexican (real) food?
I wish you the best!
Hi Alex,
Looking forward to your book and I want all your madness in (maybe with some 3D popups ?!) !
Are you planning to add some others japanese recipes like dorayaki or pan shiro ?
I wish you the best (and wish me a wonderful cooking book)
Would love to learn more.
BTW, been waiting for your video about water quality! https://mytapwater.org
Great idea! Is it finally happening? Going to do a signing tour?
Love the vids. Max interested in the cookbook. Release date?
eBook would be great! I keep a tablet in my kitchen just for recipes. You could link to videos right in the eBook in case someone wanted to see it done. Keep the great recipes and videos coming!
Can’t wait for this to be reality! You are most defeni… defenet…. definitely (oh! Mon Dieu) my biggest cooking inspiration. Love your attitude towards cooking, the perfect balance of rebellious and respectful, a true tinkerer of gastronomy.
I would happily pay 20-40 € for a basic copy or 50-70 € for a signed copy with some other perk.
I hope this helps in case you’re struggling to settle on a price-point.
Love from Sweden ❤️
I would 100% buy a physical copy, eBook, whatever! Your videos are always so helpful and funny, and really interesting!
This sounds amazing! A Digital book would be cool since it could incorporate your videos you’ve worked so hard to create! I’ve made a book before on my Mac using iBooks Author, which is free. Digital books can also include embedded things like timers, interactive graphics, and conversion tables that update when you add your own quantities.
I can’t wait to see what you create next! I would love to order your book, whatever form it takes.
Hello from the États-Unis!
I am a big fan of your YouTube channel which I found recently due to your omelette video interaction with the great Jacques Pépin.
Congrats on getting a shout out from Mr. Pépin!
I too have an absurd and compulsive obsession with ramen so I completely enjoyed your ramen series. C’était magnifique!
I tried your french toast recipe. Naturally I went straight for the super guilty version and my family loved it.
My wife plans on trying your recipe for french onion soup next.
I would love any format of a cookbook that you put together. I think a signed hardcover would be particularly amazing.
I think showing how to master basics like knife technique or how to cook an omelette would be great to include (not saying these things in particular but something to their scope). Oooh and a cassoulet recipe.
Please continue with your videos. The music, format, your humor, your approach to cooking and especially blue fridge theory make your videos great to watch.
Salut!
Michael H.
looking forward to getting my hands on it!
please update as soon as it’s out!
Bounjour, monsieur! Je suis philippine. J’ai 18 ans. I am very willing to be a recipe tester. With all my heart, I volunteer *Katniss Everdeen voice*. Sadly, as a university student, I need time to release my stress and fortunately, the kitchen makes it all go away (also watching your videos).
Salut!
I would love to have a real life manifestation of your cooking genius ❤️☺️
Hard cover with spiral binding please so it can lay flat. Love your videos.
Yes, yes and yes.
Also – YES!!
Yea for sure. I know a couple people that would.
Hardcover… also love how you give ideas for vegan alternatives in you vids. Are video demos possible linked through a printed QR code? Love your channel and the rammen
+1 for the cookbook, and +1 for the hardcover
🙂
The idea is amazing ( not that I’m suprised since it’s coming from you <3) I would love to buy the cookbook, but I would prefer a hard cover book 🙂
Love the idea of a real life book!
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! I even know a few more people who would love a book! And, given what I’ve seen so far, I doubt you would have any difficulty crowd-sourcing via a Kickstarter campaign!
Hello from México!!!!! Please let me know when the book is ready!!!!!!
Hey Alex, you’re such a great inspiration! I tried so many of your recipies and kitchen hacks. Would love to buy your book!
Bonjour from Australia Alex! I’m a newcomer to your channel and I LOVE it. Super informative and I always can’t wait to try the recipes.
I particularly like that you give vegetarian alternatives for the same recipe; I’m vegetarian but my husband (who introduced me to your channel) is emphatically not. So, it helps a lot that we can both enjoy variations of the same dish. Not surprisingly, this is my favorite part of your cookbook-to-be. Looking forward to it.
An update to anyone who comes across this page:
The cookbook is out!!!!
Alex just announced it on his instagram, the link to the book on amazon (preorder) is here: smarturl.it/frenchguycooking

Hey, Alex, I stumbled across your fantastic “mozzarella” video a few hours ago and i must say: Your youtube stuff is a fantastic and a welcomed exception from the usual cooking videos.
They are funny, are well edited, use good music and show lot of new ideas (even for known stuff). Even better – and without any reproach – is that you speak a fantastic English without denying your French charm or your roots in any way.
To cut a long story short: I would buy a cookbook from you immediately, whether electronic (which I would prefer) or hardcover. Learned a lot in the last few hours and laughed a lot. Subscribed of course …
Keep up the good work!
PS: Upps … there is a link directly above my post … well … your book seems to be announced for september in germany . Fine … as said before … this will be ordered. Anyhow … would be fantastic if it could be available as an ebook in the future too!
Yes this is good
Love ur channel. Very interested in your cookbook!
Absolutely can not wait for this and will sponsor you off your youtube page later to speed it along 😉
I want to buy your book.
Damn, Congratz dude! Can’t wait for it. I love all of your recipes, they are simple, yet delicious!
I adore ramen too! But alas I dont have the $ to go to japan let alone move there. So! I stumbled across your channel and I love it 😀 Keep doing what you’re doing because its frankly the best part of my day. If u make a book i’ll buy it 🙂
A cook book would be awesome I just found your videos and I can’t stop watching them. The best thing about your videos is how you can see that you love cooking.
Sacrament pas avant le 4 septembre !!! un peu plus que trois mois a attendre!!! mais bon, si tu me dis qu’il y a tous les recettes sur comment faire des ramens (sinon je serais déçus de la couverture) du bouillon à l’huile au tare, je le commande ça c’est certain!!
J’ai aussi fait du fromage maison mais par chez nous, c’est la capitale de la poutine alors j’ai fais ce que l’on appel du fromage en crotte haha. J’ai eu les même problème que toi, que de bon souvenir!! Le plus dur c’est qu’a la fin, le fromage doit faire squick squick sous la dent. Peut-être un prochain sujet a faire , la poutine lol.
sur ce un gros merci pour ton travail super bien expliqué et captivant.
a+ take care bye bye
This Hungarian would love to see a cookbook from you. I imagine it all scrap book looking (in a good way), but with precise and easy instructions.
Hello. Alex, How are you? Me and my husband love you channel and the way you reinvent cooking. If its possible I wanto buy you book. Thanks.visit Brasil
Dear Alex – continue to speak to children of this world. Inspire the young ones, the really young ones. Fire their passions with humour, tickle their tastebuds, light a fire under their butts. They need to learn to cook at an early age. Far far too many people this day and age aren’t cooking enough home cooked meals and are eating crap take out foods and junk processed food. An obesity doctor I follow on Twitter from Ottawa Canada said, one day, he felt, in his mind, the single most important life skill a parent could teach their child was the skill to make home cooked meals from scratch. Not soccer, not football, not hockey, not piano, not singing lessons but by a parents side absorbing, trying, learning, mastering the skills necessary for a lifetime. It is a basic fundamental skill that should be taught alongside reading and writing and arithmetic, in my view. I mean, everyone has to eat, right? You make it such fun. I’m so happy my two girls learned to cook at my side. I look forward, with great passion, to your cookbook, in whatever form it comes out. Bon appetit merci a bientot salut from Quebec
Hi Alex, I find myself watching and following along to your videos sadly my dishes don’t always turn out as good as I would like so when I heard you were making a cookbook I got excited. So to have a more detailed step by step process would benefit me greatly. Love the videos and keep up the good work. 🙂
Alex… you have my attention. I’m new to cooking and old to eating but I do know a good dish when it looks up at me. I enjoy your videos and appreciate how you present each step of the process. I’d love to have a go-to place for recipes and hope you see the project to completion.
I think this is great! I’d be happy with you just printing them out on plain paper, sticking them in a big envelope and just sending it out!
Hey Alex!
We love your quirky personality and your experimental approach to cooking! I think a digital version of your cookbook would be the best way to translate these characteristics! I would love to see a digitally interactive book from you with various clips and what not embedded into each recipe.
Love it! Would be one of the few cookbooks I actually read 🙂
Hi, Alex! Je voudrais beaucoup acheter votre livre de recettes 🙂 It will be in multiple languages? Metric or imperial measurements?
Hello,
are you planning do to asian recipes?
I love asian authentic food.. but i always fail to do the perfect mapo tofu 😀
Hey ALEX, love your channel. Tried the homemade Ramen broth and it was awsome! Please don’t stop making videos, love the sense of humor you have. Please alert me when your cookbook is for sale I will be getting a few as gifts.
Hi Alex
Awesome idea. Found you via This old tony and absolutely love your YT channel and also your website.
The layout of the recipe is stunning. Esp the technical tip ,variations and what to do if sections. I would just suggest that you might in the introduction somewhere list the prices of your most commonly used ingredients to make the price per person more relevant. 10 years from now somebody will then still be capable of figuring out what it should cost then.
Regards
Does the book will be avalaible in Asia. I would like to have one.
Do it real life book please! :)_
It must be done be done. You and I hate many of the same favorite foods and cooking styles so it would benefit me greatly.
If it’s a true, physical book I will buy it in a heartbeat
Bring it on!! Need this book.
I want this! You rule.
This is incredible. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I’ve stumbled onto your channel through your Ramen challenge about two months ago and I’ve been an avid follower ever since! I’ve been especially looking forward to your Mozzarella experiences. There’s no cheese I miss more from Italy than authentic fior di latte mozzarella fresca. Of course, your latest mozzarella video hinted at upcoming pizza videos and I really look forward to that!
If you are familiar with the feeling you got as a child when someone gave/made you something new, that excitement, the thrill, then you know how I feel everythime you make a new video.
The thing that stuck with me to keep following you is the simplified scientific approach to everything you do, so much detail, so much passion and commitment.
Thank you for all the time you’ve invested in your channel and I believe that your cookbook will be even better. On that note, I’m going to spread some butter on my bread now. Cheers !
Hi Alex,
maybe I was missing it, but did you already published your book? If yes, were can I get it? If no, do you have an idea when it will be released? Since I watched your bread baking series I never bought one bread again ;D
I would need this!
Hey, Ive just started watching your ramen videos and I’m HOOKED! Its really cool how deep you go into your cooking with brains and love!
i’d buy
Hey Alex.
It’s great idea to move forward in a new direction and certainly your cook book will help and inspire many others to excel their cooking skills with insightful guidance from you. Love to have one copy as soon as you complete it and put it for sale.
All the best.
Yes please do make a book! Preferably in print and sign it? 😉
Salut Alex,
I’ve just discovered your channel, we share the same passion for ramen 🙂 And I’d really like to get your book too!
Keep cookin’!
COOKBOK
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!!
Hi Alex! I love the idea and would love to get my hands on a hardcover cookbook from you! 🙂
Greeting from Australia!
Hope you don’t mind but since discovering your channel I’ve been using your videos to really fire-up my English classes!
“English? What? H-how?”
I teach English and a lot of my students go in to the mystic culinary arts, so the fusion of cuisine, language, and food science (something I’m keen to push so they can have an edge) is a recipe for success I can get behind!
You passion and knowledge, successes and learning from failures really help bolster them when they’re feeling down. In fact I’m starting to suspect the only reason some of them come to class is to watch your videos… Hmmm…
Anyway, thanks for all the work you do and the entertainment you give us! Oh, and sometimes we even learn something.
Cheers,
Sam.
P.S. Oh yes, something about the book… Um… Can you maybe create a Teacher’s Notes version with fun experiments and exercises to practice as maybe a bonus download?
Hey Alex,
Can you do an episode on Coffee. French Press? Instant? A Mocha Pot?
What beans to use?
How to make milk coffee?
How to make an espresso?
Why does my coffee taste watery?
and many more questions that I cant think of right now…
🙂
Hey from Florida!
Weve enjoyed your videos immensely and are looking forward to the cookbook once it is released! One question/request, can you provide a recipe similar to the dough in the cones/pizza from your Pepe in Grane video? It looks absolutely amazing and we would love to know the tricks to getting this ‘light’ dough that you enjoyed.
Cheers!
Hey Alex,
The cookbook sounds cool! Do you know what recipes will be in it yet? I love baking and sharing new recipes and ideas with my local community.
Thanks,
Michael
Yo Alex,
good idea.
I often do your mapo tofu recipe even though I am Asian (?)
Great stuff and keep it up
Interesting for sure!
Hiya Alex! I love your channel and I hope you include heaps of different crêpe toppings because crêpes are the best. Also any utensil modifications (drills etc) would be awesome. Good luck with your project, I know you can smash it!
Love the cookbook idea!
If you’re looking for a cheap (read: FREE) way to make print quality pdf’s try using LaTeX. With some practice placing images, backgrounds and editing won’t be hard.
I would love to purchase both an ebook and hardcover.
I love your channel, and back the cookbook idea 100%!!!
Alex, I know others have mentioned this already but if you need funding to get the cookbook published, you should have no trouble getting it funded on something like kickstarter. I’ll be first in line.
Would be such a great cookbook.
i want to se a proper crem brulè
Hurry up Alex, I’m hungry
Hey Alex, just started watching your videos and have binged almost all of them, I’m excited that you want to make a cookbook, can’t wait for it to come out! support 100% from Canada
I would love to see you come out with this book as a legitimate physical book. There is just something special about holding a book in your hand, a online book just doesn’t compare. Thank you!!
Alex, also a new subscriber to your channel! Love your style, and would definitely buy a physical book from you.
Hey Alex,
Greeting from Rundu, Namibia. Discovered your YouTube channel over the weekend and I have been binge watching your amazing videos.
Keep up the amazing work. Can’t wait to start trying out your recipes.
Chickpea Meringues, that literally blew my mind.
Hi Alex!
I love the idea and it would be also superduper cool if you could put some typical recipes from other countries/continents to be bold as you usually are!
keep the amazing work you always do!
cheers
Salut Alex!
I recently found your YT channel during some binging of mozzarella making videos, and have been catching up on most of your videos.
I really like the premise of your cookbook! And while I would prefer a hardcopy (mainly so I can have it out around food without much worry of getting it dirty/wet/etc), I think an ebook edition would be super cool! Especially with the capabilities of iBook (not sure if Kindle has something similar) to incorporate video and graphics into ebooks, you could create an interactive cookbook! Honestly, from what I’ve seen an interactive cookbook would be not only very innovative, but very on brand as well.
Regardless of what path you choose, I’m very excited to see what you will do next.
Cheers!
Just saw that you already made the cookbook! Am pre-ordering immediately.
Can’t wait to try the cookbook . Amazing job.
do it Alex!
will your cook book only contail recipies or will it hold all the other kind of content that youre doing for example your work with knives ?
Saluuut!
Wow! I’ve started watching your videos recently, and, honestly, I am loving them! All of them!!!
I really hope that your recipe book idea comes to life, so that all of us mortals can at least try to get a bit closer to that delicious madness 😀
By the way, I’m from Valencia (Spain), and here we really love eating “Paella”, a rice based dish; and “Torrijas”, a sweet pastry that we do with “old bread” (a day or two old, or even more!), and I think you should check them out 🙂
I can’t wait for the book!!!
Best regards
Victor 😉
I love your channel. Yep, I would love to see your cookbook!
I’ve only recently found your channel, but I’ve absolutely loved it so far. It’s really inspiring me to cook again, to bring back that passion. So thank you for that. A cookbook sounds absolutely fantastic and I’d have to buy like 10 of them!
Hi,
I discovered your channel after you colab with Alec Steele. Your videos are awsome and idea of your cookbook? WOW… :O I very like your vision of recipe, very very clever. It would be nice to have helper like this. I hope your idea will come true.
loved your idea and vids =)
+1 for an ebook 😉
MUSt a section on Ramen!!!
Alex,
First off I will buy this pretty well no matter what. You are providing cooking content that I love as an at home cook stuck in a culinarally stagnant part of America. I’m always desperate for new and interesting recipes that I can’t find around here.
Now as for a suggestion on your book I agree with others that a hard copy would be excellent as trying to read a recipe off my phone or tablet is always more irritating than need be.
Best of luck on this project!
Can’t wait! Can westart pre ordering already?
Hey Alex! I would love to read, peruse and study a cookbook by you. I would also hope to find your recipe for Cassoulet in the collection-both classic version as well as your possible variation,
Fingers crossed!
Alex!!! Just take my money right now if you’re doing a cookbook! So awesome. Please include all your 6 sardine recipes from your videos as they changed my life. I love love love sardines now, you da best!
Hey Alex.
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago, I have just about caught up and it has done nothing but inspire me. I have been baking my own bread for years and since visiting Italy haven’t been able to get enough fresh, homebaked pizza. Your pizza series was fantastic and should definitly have a mention in your book.
Also, Ramen. Not enough words can be said about Ramen. I always thought I was doing a decent job with my Ramen. Attempting to follow recipes at home with as little as I had but I now know how wrong I was.
Would love to get a copy of your book and know a couple of people I would love to gift a copy.
Can’t wait to see how your creativity and personalty imparts itself onto a be-all-and-end-all cookbook… series!?
Salut from sunny England.
Brilliant idea. The layout looks great! I’ll be watching for any updates on this. Excited to see where it goes.
Salut
I’m so glad I found this. This layout is perfect, maybe include a little bit of a science explanation for the more complicated recipes!
Great idea, love the project!
There’s a great book that introduced me to French cooking: Alain Ducasse’s Nature: Simple, Healthy, and Good. As you said delicious food with quick to cook recipes. I would love some more of that!
Hi alex
The cook book is a great idea, for me the dry aged beef series was my favorite I watched it a Thousand times, it would be geat if you can incorporate it in some way.
I cant wait for the book to come out , a digital format would be great
Break a leg
Ciao, Alex!
I really do hope that you include some french pastry recipes in your book.
Good luck! Looking forward to purchasing your cookbook real soon!
I happen to collect really good cookbooks, so a hardcover book would be nice. I can’t wait to see what recipes you will include (really hoping for your cheese soufflé and quiche recipe will be included, as those are the recipes and then accompanying video is what made me subscribe)! Lol.
Can’t wait till the final product. 😀
I love your channel and can’t wait for the cookbook! I’m am going to be trying the ramen recipe soon! I would love to train with you if I am ever in France again!
Make the pages of the book out of miso/ramen broth so we can rip it out and put it in the water
Yes please! Do make it:D
Congratulations on completing this project! My own cooking adventures include my young daughters. Simple, tasty and imaginative recipes always make my girls excited about cooking. I look forward to seeing the final cookbook.
Love the idea! I would definitely buy this and use every recipe!
Hi Alex, I’ve only recently discovered your channel and I love it! I’m very keen to get my hands on your cookbook and can’t wait for it to come out 🙂
Keep up the good work, mate.
It would be very lovely if I have your cookbook 🙁 I also one of your big fan from Indonesia, but in my country they haven’t sell any. Actually I am prefer for the hardcopy, but if you have the softcopy, it would be great for me…
And also, I am a huge fans for ramen and noodle also 🙂
Alex, it sounds such a great idea and I am most certainly interested. I just loved the ramen videos and shall, this week, make your instants
Cannot wait for this to come out! I asked my wife if she fancied getting it and she told me she already had it preordered on amazon! I was just wondering if there is going to be a kindle version too? It’d be great to have it on the go.
Both my partner and I are in love with your channel. I’m hoping to surprise her with the pre-order, but I’m also slightly worried that she might have done the same to surprise me. So I’m sneakily looking for hints when I talk to her to check up on it, haha 🙂
Just wanted to add my name to your info list to find out about the cookbook.
let me know when you publish!
I’ve become addicted to your Youtube channel, and would love to support you by buying this book when it comes out! Please let me know!
Sign me up for that cookbook!
Bonjour Alex. Très chouettes, tes vidéos…belles, bien faites et pleines de bonnes idées. Mais aurais-tu déjà fabriqué un pressoir pour extraire du jus (de poires). Bonne journée
I love your super practical approach to cooking and how you stay mindful of how we can accomplish your recipes in outback kitchen. I want your body. 🙂
I would love to see multiple formats. Paper for people who don’t want to depend on a battery. Maybe a premium electronic format could include your videos and links to tools used in the video. I would love to truck to emulate what I’ve seen. Thanks for the onion cutting video, that was where I first saw on earth of your videos and went from there to ramen tic mozzarella. I don’t have any formal training, I just love your videos and am inspired to cook beyond my horizons. Thanks!
PLUS ULTRA!
Very Interested
I would love for you to publish a soft or hard back book maybe you could start of with an e book!!.
I like the way you describe as you cook it’s understandable!!

Hey Alex, I love your videos and visual style, so I’d appreciate even more if you’d publish your own cook book!
I’d even purchase a physical copy! Thank you for your wonderful content!
Hi Alex,
rebuilding me my own Chefknife like you did. So excited, getting all together an next days it Knifefytime 🙂
Thx for all the really enthusiastic content. Big fan.
Best.
Hi Alex,
I think a cookbook would be a fantastic idea. I found your channel about a month ago and have binge watched many of your videos. I prefer physical copies than electronic. If you ever do publish give a shout out in your videos and I’d be pick one up.
Keep on cooking.
Hey Alex, long time fan. I was wondering what the status/progress was on this book? Any idea of when to expect it to be available?
Amazon tells me the release date is 6th September. Imminent!
Ebook would be best for me, personally. I mounted an unused tablet to the wall and have all of my recipes stored in Google docs for easy access.
Alex,
I love the idea of a cookbook your humor in a book as well as your efficiency approach will make a unique and helpful book. I just made some ramen tonight using your shoyu tare and scallion oil recipes, and they made for a very delightful ramen experience.
Alex,
I never had a favourite cooker until I saw your videos. Your style of making it is so lovely and adorable. Especially when you use science to solve your problems, when you act naturally without force making things and when you make us laugh. also your character and style helped you so much to enter our hearts without a permission. I became so happy when I knew that you have a book. Of course, I will have the pleasure to own it.
Best Wishes

Alex, Love your videos. They are fun and educating to watch 😀 really love the idea of a Cook Book made by you. Keep up the hard work.
You had me hooked with your Ramen obsession videos. Everything else has been a bonus. Myself I’m trying to find creative ways to display cooking measurement conversions. We don’t use the metric system here in the states and all the best cooking advice is shown using metric measurements. So I want to be able to have a display I can refer to quickly so I don’t make mistakes. Keep up the good work.
Yes! It would be great to get a cookbook from you. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks!
make gudeg ,its a traditional indonesian cuisine . made from bassiclly a jackfruit cookd for about 3-6 hours
Oh a cookbook from you would be wonderful and hilarious ! Please include a Lemon Souffle …. I think it ranks right up there with an omelet for me at least. (after 3x I was out) So help me please. LOL
Love your videos – I’d buy that cookbook! Cheers to you!
Yes, would love a cookbook. Hardback definitely. Love all of your content. You can put the sunshine back into a cloudy day.
Bonsoir Alex.
Faire un livre est une exellente idee, mais vous pouvez faire les deux.
avec le ebook ,il ne ce dechire pas,et pas de graisse ou autres liquides dessus, l’avantage aussi ,ont peut photocopier les recettes que l’on desire, je copie quelques recettes de mes ebooks de cuisine et de patisseries , quand j’en ai besoin.
je suis chef en retraite mais je cherche toujour a me perfectionner, et quand un Chef dit je connais tout,c’est un menteur,
Je suis Charcutier, Patissier ,et Cuisinier, et j’en apprend encore tout les jours et j’ai 80 ans le 1 er fevrier 2019.
continuez vous etes bien parti.
Bonne chance.
Serge.
Hi, would love a Cook Book from you. I hope to find new recipes for inspirations in my World of Soul Food. Especially Ramen. I love Food and the way to an fantastic Meal. Your way to describe things and the taste of good Meals I like. I hope your Cook Book will a Hardback. I find it is better to handle. So do your thing and make it great.
Greats from Germany

Loved the series on ramen soup! thought I was the only one obsessed with making perfect homemade instant ramen… Can’t wait to see this book!
Greetings from Hawaii
I really enjoy your multiple series and how you’re able to recreate these iconic dishes in a new light. You’re really well-spoken and are able to explain your methods in a way that I can understand really well. I can’t wait to see what other recipes you bring to the table.
Good luck with your book!

Hey Alex,
Cheers from a Brazilian in Vienna 🙂
Your videos and projects are awesome, I’m pretty sure your book will follow the trend! I would like to read it in a e-format and if I might give you an idea, your videos are quite elucidative and naturally didactic, if you be able to merge the recipes/written procedures with the steps/guide/tips in video format would be double the taste xD
I would certainly appreciate a hardcover of your finished project.
kind regards
your friends in the states

I would really love to use your cookbook in my kitchen, no matter digital or paper 🙂 And the recipe layout sits well with me too, with all the alternatives etc.

Firstly on my phone I had to scroll through the 1000 plus messages to be able to get to the bottom to create my own….. So maybe put the new message Box on the top of the page…. But I definitely am intrested in a cook book in whatever format you will create it in…. I think it would be best if you end up making one in actual printed paper that there’s also a digital version available for little extra cost. Very entertained and educated by your videos as well!

I would love to buy one of your books once they’re made and make some delicious Ramon.
Is the cookbook out yet?

First of all. The place you leave a comment should come before all the 1,000’s other comments. It will be easier to find.
Second Will there be your Ramen Noodles recipe in the Cookbook?
Third I want your cookbook for my collection. I collect cookbooks. I have a bunch of them. When will it be out?
Forth You should have the most recently comments at the top too. So you can find and read the newest comments to the oldest.

Hola, realmente me encanta la manera en la que haces tus platillos, la forma en la que investigas, experimentas e incluso innovas, ver tus videos día a día, minuto tras minuto, repetirlos una y otra vez para poder entender lo que haces y como lo haces es realmente gratificante.
Espero tu libro con ansias ya sea electrónico, físico o yo que sé, pero estoy seguro que será la obra maestra de la cocina del siglo XXI.
Suerte y sigue creando historias, pues tus creaciones cuentan experiencias.
Salut Alex,
Je suis très intéressée à ton livre de cuisson. J’aime tes video, ils sont exceptionnels. J’aimerais bien avoir une copie a couvert dur s’il te plaît d’en faire une? Très content Alex… Un gros merci pour ton ouvrage. Enseigne moi ou acheter votre livre lorsequ’il arrive. Merci Alex.
Hey Alex, I just recently discovered your youtube videos and I would say yes to your cookbook. Hardcover would be great.
I’m seeing one book in my kitchen, and another copy in my son’s dorm, as he also loves to cook.
I would love this!! Thanks 🙂
Love the cookbook idea, would love to see a hardcover spiral bound so it lays flat on the counter. Best, Chris

Thanks
hello! i recently stared to watch your videos and will soon start using some of your technics.
Did you try making a kebab. its simple yet very tasty
thanks for the tips.
I am super interested in the book!
I just found your channel and as a fellow cook I like your passion behind everything!
Count me in!
I would be interested in a hard copy book! How much would it cost to buy plus ship to New Zealand? 🙂
ahhh I can’t believe you made me scroll through all those comments just to leave you a note about a non-existant book!!!! [sarcasm] haha ha jk I love you and your show. I started college as a physics degree and worked many years as a professional catering chef, but now I build robots and kinetic art. oh check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1ykZWtPYI
will you do a cookbook on canning with Le Parfait?
I don’t see all of the videos you promise for canning, so I am a little confused.
but a cookbook is an amazing idea, you taught me how to make Holandaise, the first recipe you taught me of many and now my friends and family are always amazed that I know how to do this!
1. Both iPad and Android/Kindle formats please. For the person worried about messing up their iPad (it would have to be an Apple user!) Simply cover the device with a bit of plastic wrap. It will still respond to touch. I promise.
2. How about a clickable link to a video for complicated bits or technique/reference or pre requisite steps. Maybe for Patreon supporters?
3. I love it when you use ‘nominee’ or proportions in your recipes. Please consider incorporating wherever possible.
4. Metric measurements first. Grams and liters – no cups and spoons and ounces if I had my way. Screw those imperialists. Off with their heads. They can convert for themselves. Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
5. I am fascinated by magic. Like your sourdough starter or pickling. Please consider a section. You are what you eat. Modern industrial manufactured food lacks in magic that is good for our gut.
Merci
Love the idea of a cookbook! I have’t read everyone’s comments … (it would take a week or more). Please include a printed version of your ramen episodes. I gotta nail that down!!
Aloha Alex! Have u ever considered incorporating “ZATAAR” in your creative ideas of recipes? Just a suggestion. You are a joy to watch!!
It’s just excelent, salutations from Argentina! Would gladly buy it, your ideas and theories are just great!!

Hello from US. I will definately buy a copy of your cookbook! I have only seen the 2 part series on sardines, but I am hooked! I love your humour, creativity and recipe ideas. I also love how you seem to use fresh and healthy ingredients. I like the way you organized the recipes as well. I’m subscribed now and looking forward to viewing many more. I’ll also donate as patron when I get on pc.
Thank you for all your videos. They are highly entertaining!
Cheers
Love your channel… love your work…… but for stupid people like me who like to be expats and move to Asia, Amason is not the easy way ( read impossible ) to order your book. Keep up the youtube and other projects. Wish you good cooking ingredients and clear mind of thoughts. regards Freddy
You are approachable, fun and really quite knowledgeable. I enjoy your posts and will purchase your cookbook ASAP… Keep going with your wonderful channel.

I’m from Colombia and i really enjoy all your recepies!! I will buy your book!!
My son showed me your Cacio de Pepe series and I have been hooked ever since. Bought the book.
I still cannot do Cacio de Pepe consistently well. Next time…. I have too much heat and then I get lumps. The first time I did it might actually have been the best so far.
You make me curious about French cooking. Coming from Finland, our fancier recipes are based on French kitchen but I have always been more drawn to Asia and especially Indian cooking. Now, I am going to do quiche next. And croissant. I live in Berlin and really good ones are difficult to find. In Finland the good ones are more expensive than in Paris.
