  • In this episode of Today's Gourmet, Jacques Pepin prepares a few of his all-time favorite dishes, including omelettes, breakfast potatoes, salad, and freshly baked baguette.
    He begins the episode by recreating his favorite childhood afterschool treat: a home baked baguette served with roasted nuts, grapes, and dark chocolate. Next he makes thinly-sliced home fried potatoes and a fluffy classic French omelette made with five eggs. Jacques recommends using eggs from a farmer's market and prepared with wonderful fresh herbs whenever possible.
    Dr. Curtis Ellison from Boston University joins Jacques at the table to enjoy a meal and discuss heart healthy food choices.

      If you haven't already seen it, the Japanese chefs have a similar technique for their omerice. Very cool. These types of omelets tend to be a bit undercooked for my taste, but I enjoy the techniques.

    Lovely meal. It’s been too long since I’ve baked bread, and it’s not difficult. Just takes a bit of time. I should get back on it because it’s much cheaper. Especially nowadays. And I should really be eating more salad.

    Those sticks of baguette with four "carrés" (squares) of black chocolate was also my 4 o'clock snacks when I was a child and they were way healthier that all those industrial sugary biscuits that children are eating now. We had also sometimes a little sandwich with omelette leftovers inside, very yummy...

    • @allstopblue5717

      I 100% believe you. The issue we face nowadays is how many parents are willing to dedicate this amount of time to produce snacks for their children? Nowadays it’s simply drive thru McDonald’s, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, etc,. Which is why the American population is getting heavier and heavier with more health complications than ever…. I truly wish for a major change in culture.

    Don't taste your raw eggs for seasoning, kids. Jacques is a trained professional. Julia Child is not here today to make sure you don't hurt yourselves. Watch the video of the two of them cooking at her house where she warns home chefs not to pour alcohol directly from the bottle as Jacques does 'cause "the fire can travel back up into the bottle, explode and blind you!" (Be sure to read the quote in your best Julia Child voice.)

      On other KQED videos people criticize Jacques' handling of chicken with his kitchen towel which he then uses on everything. Someone who knows a French doctor chimed in to say the claim is that if the chicken or eggs are super fresh, the hasn't been enough time for the bacteria to develop. In the video Jacques does say to get eggs from a farm if you can.
