      I worked with a famous French Chef during my lifetime in the culinary business, and my memories with him were not pleasant. Watching the esteemed Chef Pepin does my heart good. People like Chef Pepin is the reason why I became interested in this art, and watching him in these videos, at his age is truly blessed. I am 66 years old, and I still love my profession, when and if I am blessed enough to reach Chef Pepin's age, I hope to still be cooking this way.

    Watching Jacques cook always reminds me of my mother. We used to watch him together on the weekends. She loved his accent and his calm and patient manner, not to mention his food. She has been gone almost 30 years now, but she is often by my side when I am in the kitchen. Thank you, Jacques, for many wonderful and delicious years.

    This man helped inspire me to become a chef. Before I went to culinary school twenty-two years ago, I watched him and Julia on PBS. This man taught me how to really enjoy something as simple as eggs as a solid meal. To this day, nothing satiates me as much as a well prepared scrambled egg with herb fines and a tear off of a toasted baguette,if I'm feeling really fancy some fresh grated parm cheese, any time of day or night.

    Jacques Pepin is the Master. I actually got to talk to him on TV during a PBS fundraiser in 1999. Coolest 37 seconds of my life! I spent many Saturday afternoons watching and learning from him on TV in the pre-Food Network days when shows like his were all about the cooking and the technique. Real food television. For me, it was like going to school. I learned something every time. “The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen” is an amazing story of a true legend and a great read. Happy Cooking!

I had 3 left over roasted chicken wings small ones which would probably have been binned and as you have been educating us on waste not, I shredded and chopped it with a small leaf of spinach as well as the parsley and I can tell you it was fabulous. Thank you again.
