    I love how he explains the reason he uses things & what happens to them while they are cooking. Jacques Pépin is my all-time favorite Chef. My life-long dream is to meet him, cook with him, & listen to him speak of his life experiences.

    The best food of my life I ate in Lyon and this was in a small hotel, the cook a woman with no reputation, someone who cooks every day for her family too. Ingredients were fresh and best quality. The sauces and dressings were used sparingly. Her menu had enough variety to keep the palate happy, but not overwhelmed. Soup, fish appetiser, salad, a small piece of steak, slices of warm baguette, pickled fruit, creme brulee. I've tried ever since to reproduce the simple salad she made with chicory and bits of mandarin orange. Just exquisite.

    Recommending against soaking dry beans on the ground that they give gas is understandable (simple solution: dump the soaking liquid)… and then reason just goes hilariously out the window when the implication made is that the gas is caused *by fermentation* from soaking a dry product in water overnight - that has to be the silliest thing I’ve heard all day, I have to say!

    I remember as a child watching Pepin, Julia child, the galloping gourmet and although he had nothing to do with cooking, jack Leanne. Weird shows for a kid to watch but I loved it!

    Love watching programs that I missed growing up and Jacques was quite an artist as well as a Chef. Someone needs to put Jacques Pepin’s artistry to the Lime Light, with his permission of course.

    At the roughly 3:40 mark Chef calls out Chinese Broccoli. Nope I'm pretty sure it is baby Bok Choi and not Chinese broccoli (which I love by the way even if bok choi is my favorite). I do love how Chef also talks about Italian Rapini (Broccoli Rabe) which is stronger than Bok Choi and just perfect with steak, or spicy chicken or fish. And by no means do I mean any disrespect to Chef ever. I have always adored him since I was a teennager in the 1980's.I still cook from my Today Gourmet cookbook
