  1. Not sure what you did to the duck before it went into the pot with the beans. Was it cooked separate for while, first? It first looked raw then it had a burnt skin on the top when you put it in the main pot.

  2. I have a recipe for this dish that takes 3 days. It was a challenge and an exercise in patience. I was in France at the time so it was easy to get duck confit and the right bottle of wine. Just as the dish was finished, we opened another bottle of wine 🍷 and had a lovely dinner on the patio. To die for, as some people say.

  3. I had this many years ago a Brava Terrace in Sonoma county Calif. It was soooo… good. I'm a bit appalled by all the fat on the fat back, so I'll probably resort to bacon. Now I need to find a store with fresh duck. Thanks for the trip into my culinary past.

  4. We love French food but I have always avoided Cassoulet because I am not a white bean fan. You managed to make this look delicious and I can’t wait to try it 😋TFS!

  5. Chef, this looks amazing. I know somebody I can get ducks from so I will most certainly cook this. Today I have been cooking down stock for a gumbo. I will cook it Sunday because it’s going to rain all day. Thank you!

  6. I haven’t watched this video yet I just want to get this question out to you first,
    What do you serve for your Christmas dinner? Now on to the video I do enjoy your videos and recipes they are the best! Blessings to you.

  7. I know it's not traditional by any measure, but I make a cassoulet with my thanksgiving leftovers every year. Turkey, usually some roasted pork, and some nice sausages. Great use of leftovers, and stays authentic to the origin of Cassoulet as a 'struggle meal' – made typically by poorer folk to stretch food made throughout the week!
