Salut,
Alex - Розваги
Don't apologize for "forgetting to film" most of dinner. You were doing exactly what you should have been doing. You were 100% present while in the company of your host during that once in a lifetime opportunity. You filmed during the business portion of the meeting and enjoyed yourself the rest of the time.
100% agree. There was something so engaging about this video...
Very, very well said.
Perfect response
Exactly my reaction. He could either film or be present in the moment, and that was not a moment to be wasted.
Filming is disrespect in emotional circumstances, or, worse, exploitation.
What I admire most about Chef Pepin is that with his career and experience, he could have easily opened multiple Michelin starred restaurants and be an absurdly wealthy man. Yet instead he decided to do cooking shows on PBS, showing the average person that cooking delicious food isn't as hard and inaccessible as it seems. Some of my fondest memories when I was young is waking up Sunday morning and watching the PBS cooking shows with my parents. Watching the legends like Jacque Pepin, Martin Yan, and Julia Child.
Yan Can Cook! I forgot about that show!
...and the Frugal Gourmet 🙂 I had a similar experience to yours, growing up watching those transformative & entertaining shows on PBS with my mom. I'm also glad my local station (KQED/SF) is now reposting many of them on UA-cam.
@@TheM750The empire woks back
If yan can cook, you can too!!
@@krono5el haha exactly - Martin was my mom's favorite because he was so goofy, high energy & also talented
Epic. Jacques is not just a great chef but an example of a life well-lived.
Nah he’s a great chef and has lived a good life
I was lucky enough to study under Chef Jacques Pepin at FCI in NYC. He judged my final exam and critiqued it...then Handed me my diploma the next day. 2 Years later I was hired as the Liason for FCI and the pleasure of working with him and all of the world class Chefs that were the Deans at that time. What an Iconic human being and nothing but pure love and positivity. A period of my life I will never forget.
His days with Julia are some of the greatest moments in cooking history
That's some truth right there
So lucky that PlutoTV has channels that feature both of them almost 24/7!
And Justin Wilson!
Especially when arguing about washing chicken!
Yess🙋♂️. She made cooking shows what they are today.
That man has launched generations of cooks and chefs. What an honor to be able to cook with him.
My very first cook book was by Jacques Pepin.
I had the great good fortune to meet Jaques Pepin when I worked at Piret’s in San Diego, many, many years ago. He had taught a class in the cooking school side of the restaurant, and when the class was over he joined us in the kitchen and taught us all as if we were his friends. I learned many things from him that day, graciousness and kindness being as important as the culinary wisdom he shared so freely. A truly great person!
I'm from the philippines and i grew up watching this man create magic in the kitchen, so glad to see him still healthy and looking not a day older!
Alex, I think this might be my favorite YT video ever. I am so happy you got this opportunity...but also not terribly surprised, just knowing what a good guy Jacques is. Not just the greatest living chef, but one of the best all-around people, too. You got to play boules with the man, received a personal cooking lesson, got to watch Jacques cook all day, and were invited to stay for dinner with Claudine and Rollie and the family. What an amazing experience -- ty to Jacques, and ty for sharing.
I was wondering if that was Claudine. I haven't seen her in a video since the late 90s, when Jacques made a series of videos with her.
That was your golden moment. Very few people get that opportunity to have a legend welcome you into their home and train you in such a humble manner. Jacques is a legendary gentleman and true treasure for society.
C'est hilarant de voir deux Français se parler en anglais. J'adore. Merci pour cette vidéo !
I admit, I wanted the conversations in French with subtitles.
J'aurais aimé qu'ils parlent plus en français. Une si belle langue.
The thing that's always struck me most about Jacques Pépin is how wholesome, nice, and funny he is, and how delighted he is to share his culinary knowledge with everyone. His shows were always my favorite cooking shows when I was growing up, and they .... well, I'm also a fan of Alton Brown thanks to his offbeat and highly entertaining style, but Mr. Pépin will always hold a very fond place in my heart -- and so will you, because I've had as much joy watching your videos over the years, for much the same reasons I adore Mr. Pépin and his work.
Very humble, very down to earth, very kind, and an absolute world class chef on top of all that. Those are the reasons I love to watch Jacques
Such an amazing episode Alex! So happy for you! I am sure this would have been one of the best days for you, you totally deserve it! ❤️
are bhai aap bhi yaha
I ran into Jacques playing pétanque on the beach a few years back. Didn't want to waste his time but he was the utmost gentleman. His use of his platform to teach, and never to show off or self-aggrandize, is something we should all aspire to do with our talents. Thank you Alex!
I wish my grandma had lived to see this. She died at 99, a Frenchwoman of countryside descent, a survivor of German occupied France in WW2 who remembered living in poverty because her family had to give so much of their produce and livestock to the Nazis, a lover of flowers and birds, and a home-cook who loved Jacques Pepin. She fed me nearly to death growing up, and even until her end she kept cooking wonderful meals for me. I showed her Alex at some point, and she was delighted (momentarily, it was hard to keep her attention on one thing by then). I think seeing this would have been very moving for her, to know that the new generation has not entirely forgotten the old
Such a life of tough and rough times for her. And she had loves of things through it all. The love of food and cooking is wonderful and universal. You were lucky to be sharing this with her for the time you had.
Hey we are French, we have to keep the cooking technique, it's part of what make a french french in my opinion.
I know that some of the younger generation don't took the time to cook well, but i would say that most people around me (i'm 33 years old) know how to cook. Of course they are not a chef but cooking is an important part of your life. When you meet your friend, it's generaly when you try to make a good meal, to upgrade your cooking talent, to bring happiness to the people who are coming to your table. And since they will spend hours eating with you (we take time to eat in France for the one who don't know), you better make them happy with a nice meal.
I think that a nice meal is what bring people together. It's generaly the best moment of the day to me, the time when all the family reunite for one meal, when everyone can share the passion put by the cook into one dish.
What a lovely memory you have - my grandmother (not French, but a foodie) was also an amazing cook who took pride in feeding her family. I was very fortunate to have grown up with home cooked food every day. I didn’t know that was not everyone’s experience until I was much older.
I got weepy with joy at the end. Alex did such a good job of making this an homage to one of my absolute heroes. The gratitude for providing inspiration to Alex was so evident. I will watch a few more times. I think I like Jacques so much because there's complete honesty in his food and you know it will taste sublime. Alex is becoming a hero too!
Jacques legit melted my hearth on this video, such a humble and helpful guy who gives advice gently but firmly then after the class is done he invites you for dinner and enjoy an amzing meal. The world needs more jacques❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, I love Jacques Pepin!! To hear him say that more technically trained chefs might produce relatively lousy food, while some home cooks who are less technical may have a better palette was an absolute revelation from someone at his level!!! ❤❤❤
And how forgiving he is that he "sometimes" cooks it more creamy - but it's a matter of the cook's taste. What a wonderful person he is, to be at his level and still recognize that his opinions on food may not be the pinnacle. Just phenomenal.
This might actually be one of, if not, my favorite UA-cam videos ever. The cross over between Jacques Pepin, a man and chef I've been looking up to and watching my entire life, and you Alex, someone I've been rooting for and watching grow over your years on UA-cam. It's honestly almost surreal. And it makes me so happy to see Jacques still so full of energy and passion for life and food. Thank you to you and Jacques (and his team) for making this happen. It's priceless to have videos like this showing the human interaction and pass-down, not just a planned show (which i still love to death.)
What a fully-developed human being! The art, the cooking and the conversation.....we should all strive to be someone so wonderful. Thank you for this interview.
The term is Renaissance man.
Jacques Pepin and Julia Child were two people who got me into cooking. I have had the pleasure of meeting him once when he did a book signing years ago now and he was such a well spoken person. I am glad you can cook well enough Jacques Pepin said you were good.
So true! We have been lucky in the US that long ago Jacques made this his home and started doing public television shows decades ago!
If Jacques's french accent is a 100, you definitely clock in with a solid 98.
😂 Love this
It's all about the butRR
Well, given that Alex is literally from Paris ... 🤣
Honestly, I kinda think that Alex might have a thicker accent in some ways than Jacques. Like, its the way he says France at 1:23
Raymond Blanc must be 99.5.
Jacques Pépin ist the real reason why France and the US don't go into a Cold War with each other. The perfect ambassador of culture without pretension. Now, not only is he the Grand Senior of the American culinary Haute Culture (he literally wrote the book...), but he also processes the single most imitated (massacred) accent in home cooking 😎. Thank you for sharing a wonderful litte episode. 🙏
I teared up at the end there. I’m not sure why exactly, just that I can feel even through the screen the amount of warmth and care this amazing man has not only for his craft, but for everyone who will eat and enjoy and be nourished by his food. Thanks for the wonderful video
Congratulations Alex on your day with culinary royalty ! You even got to play a game of boules like one of the guys. You can see Jacques' passion for life in his artwork and cooking that make him a magnificent multi talented man .
Even though he's French, he's an American treasure. I've been watching his cooking shows for years. Thanks Alex.
Total treasure - to America and the world!
The greatest gift France has given to the US since the Statute of Liberty.
Jacques has been a US citizen for more than 50 years now. So he's American too.
hey, the statue of liberty was a gift from the French too ;)
We all love Jacques, like a family member or a friend. He's so generous in how he shares his gifts and knowledge.
Wow! What an opportunity you had with this warm, humble, master and world wide icon of French cooking! He was probably happy to invite a fellow countryman into his home! Thank you for sharing this wonderful time with Mr Pepin with us!
What an absolutely charming gentleman, who has every right not to be with his level of skill and reverence. I wish there were more in the world like him
What an honor to actually get to meet the man himself. I would so like to have been there myself. There is no one like Jacques!
This almost brings a tear to my eye. What a great person and teacher he is, and what a great student you are!
It's like a passing of the torch, from one generation's premier culinary educator to the next. Congratulations, Alex, and thanks for sharing the moment with us.
The omelette videos from yourself and Jacques changed my life. I can't go to a friend's house without them asking me to make them an omelette.
What an amazing opportunity! Jacques Pépin is an icon in the culinary field! ❤
Pepin the Omelette God ONLY, Alex? Those are fighting words. 🙂 He is a national/international treasure. Thank you so much for this lovely video.
As someone who has been on my own egg/omelette journey, it's a privilege to have you share yours with us along with all the time you get to spend with legends 🙏 Thanks, brother
Jacques is THE man! Nice to see Alex get well deserved respect in culinary circles.
😆😆😆
What an honor. Jacques is the chef I learn the most from on youtube because his repertoire of recipes is versatile and fuss-free - and of course the technique.
I love all your videos. The experiences, the recipes, the cooking, the series,’ the science, the travel. But I think this is my favourite of all them. So pure, so wholesome. Brilliant.
They just thoroughly destroyed that non-stick pan with the fork U_u
What an honor to have spent a day with Jacques Pepin! Watching he an Julia Child together was always a joy. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
An honor to meet such a cooking legend. Thank you and congratulations, this was such a wholesome way to see Jacques.
What an absolutely amazing experience you had with this culinary genius!!! Chef Pepin has been an inspiration to me for years, from his days with Julia Childs on PBS to his wonderful "cooking at home" videos. And to hear he is as genuine and kind as he appears is no surprise. Thank you for sharing this video, but I gotta admit, I'm jealous AF that you got to spend that time with the legend!!! To cook with Jacques Pepin in his home.... What an honor.
Congratulations Alex, and thank you for sharing part of the occasion with all of us. Jacques Peppin has long been one of my favorite TV chefs, since I was a kid. He always struck me as a down to earth person. You should feel honored to have shared that time with him.
I always loved on his show when he had Claudine make something. She would just do things without thought and his reactions were always of disbelief at what just happened, and she would just laugh and continue on ignoring any critiques.
They were simply a delight together. Father and daughter and he treated her like an embarrassing parent does in public.
It was simply a joy and a pleasure to behold. And yes, she cared not one whit! She too was just joyous.
CHEERS!
I'm so happy for you Alex. I've been learning about this legend through yourself and my own learning, how amazing it is for you to actually meet him after all these years. Congratulations! I cant wait to see what's next
For years I've allowed myself to feel immense stress when dinner takes much longer than expected to prepare.
Now I'll rest easy knowing that delay is actually a technique employed by a world-class chef.
Sometimes people say don't meet your heroes. I guess it depends who your heroes are. What a joy and honour it must have been! Jacques really seems like a wonderful person and really understanding of what home cook and enjoying food is all about.
It's about love, and Jacques exhudes love. That's the secret ingredient of the chef.
Jacques is a LEGEND! Youre so fortunate Alex!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
To this day 30 40 years later I can still remember chef Pepin holding a chicken by its drumstick and then carving it into its basic pieces above the cutting board. It's still blows my mind to this day and I Will always respect and love this man for his mastery on the culinary muse.
This episode made me so happy! To see you and Chef working together and showing/teaching you was such a joy! Too few people know who this great man is. Thankyou,Alex.Thankyou Chef.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVE that you were blessed to meet Jacques Pepin! I found your channel because of the omelette video and have been a fan ever since. I grew up watching Jacques on TV and continue to watch him online. Thank you so much for this video
Love your videos Alex and as a homecook myself from France living in USA, Jacque is a true legend and Jacques has inspired more American to cook and try cooking French food than any other chefs! A true national heroe, thank you Jacques!
That was so wholesome! I too can vouch for you in saying that Chef Pepin is a great man who is gentle and kind. I spent a year learning to cook at his school in NYC and he never turned down office visits outside of our classroom lessons. What an all time great human being!
In my opinion best episode you've done so far! While all your crazy engineering and travel is amazingly inspiring as is your constant desire to improve, seeing one of my own personal heroes living a warm life he deserves brought tears to my eyes. Playing boules is a warm childhood memory for me, and it's awesome to see Jacques Pépin any day.
C'est trop fort! le gars lui-meme Jacques! Incroyable!
My mom would make me watch his shows, and as a kid it was boring but here I am, an adult and I'm watching cooking shows too, my mom would love this.
Alex, tu as une vie de reve! and thank you Jacques, for allowing us into your home, even for a little glimpse!
Bravo les gars!
The dude invited you to play with him, i'm melting for how wholesome this encounter was. Happy that you both became part of eachothers' life
At 53, I have to say Jacques was the chef that impressed on me most as a child. Watching him on tv with my mother he was inspiring me to take up cooking as an art form like painting, but the benefits of the finished art project filled your tummy in the end. I have been cooking all my life now because of icons like him. Life's greatest moments are when one creates great food to share with loved ones.
It was the most touching video you made, I could feel the passion and the connection between Jaques, you and all of us. Jaques has inspired thousands of people, just like you are doing with us through your channel and I love being part of this community
Alex! I'm so happy you got that moment with one of your heroes. you can truly here the joy in your voice and your love for his influence in your life.
I've learned so much from watching Jacques Pepin on PBS, and from your channel as well. He's always seemed extremely down to earth and excited to share with you what he's learned about making good food. A quality I think you share with this legendary man. It's just awesome to see you both meeting together! Congratulations! What an honor!
To say that I am jealous of you would be an understatement. He is a national treasure as much as Julia Child. I feel he is the consummate culinary teacher and am very pleased to see how generous he was with you.
Same here. Maybe its the French connection; Julia Child studied in the Cordon Bleu when she was at the OSS. Alex is speaks French and maybe Alex is Belgian. But Kudos, nevertheless because the education with the master is priceless. Alex make sure, you don't get to be forgetful when you grow old. Jacques had a stroke a couple of years back and he is just as eloquent and patient teacher.
Jeez this was so amazing in the fact that you, Alex, I can relate to in the search of looking for the perfect way to cook. Also, Jaques pépin boing a part of a video like this offer so much to everyone; this private lesson was amazing and I'm glad you got to be a part of this!! This channel is a treasure.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. I so love to see Jacques in his own kitchen just being Jacques. I hung onto every word, every sight, and I wanted more and more, I didnt want it to end!! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙂
It's so exciting watching a master being so generous with their time and advice.
Jacques is looking great! What a great honor to be invited to share a meal in his home!
Such a gentle and humble man.... admirable ❤🎉
Julia and Jacques was probably my favorite cooking show of all time. Funny, educational, and charming all at once. I have a special place in my heart for Jacques Pepin and own several of his cookbooks. Cheers for a wonderful video!
I'm English, but somewhere in my youth in the 1980s I came across a book by Julia Child and her cooking on a Boston TV station (quite an obscure book in the UK), and I was fascinated. The connection between Jacques Pépin and JC was something that evaded me for some decades, until the internet, and specifically Alex, arrived. Jacques' technique for omelette has intrigued me ever since.
Jacques is a legend! His ability to connect with the audience is amazing. Rick Bayless has this talent as well. It’s a genetic superpower you can’t teach it.
THANK YOU ALEX! What an amazing episode. Jacques Pepin always inspired me and exuded humility and authenticity. You were so gracious and grateful in your interview. You inspire me as well by your own joy and authenticity. Keep it going brother. Thank you
I'm in my forties and a chef by trade. when I was very young to early teens we didn't have cable TV so I watch PBS. Jacques Pépin was one of cooking shows I watch. I loved it. Thank you Jacques Pépin for a wonderful learning experience.
I love watching Jacques work! I've been reading one of his autobiographies, and his charm shines through the pages.
This actually brought a tear to my eye, must be such a surreal experience to meet the man and just get to hang out. Well done!
Jacques Pepin is such a lovely person; he always brings a smile to my heart and a growl to my stomach
Many years ago when I was trying to better myself at cooking, I came across jacque pepin’s videos. The way he tried to constantly reiterate basic techniques and explain why he does something in all his videos was how I quickly learned. Jacque is not only an amazing chef, he is also a wonderful mentor. Not only did he taught me how to cook, he taught me what it is to be a gentleman. I can only aspire to live a life as full as his. I cant imagine how lovely it must have been to be learning how to cook and having dinner with Pepin!
Jacques is exactly as generous and unassuming as I imagined he would be. I'm so happy you got to spend time with him!
What a wonderful experience for you. I'm very happy that you got to do this. He and Julia started me on the road to cooking. Just an amazing gift that he gave you to get to spend that time with him.
What a joy to watch. You are truly blessed to have had this experience with such a great man and Chef. Your reverence was quite evident and the video you produced was extremely well done.
Thank you for taking us along.
I was so emotional watching this! I used to watch Julia and Chef Pépin cooking together. They both cooked with love, but Julia was a home chef and Jacques was a professional chef. The way they respectfully disagreed with each other was legendary. It was a gift to watch them cook together.
I loved the he continued to cook from home during Covid. I looked forward to his videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
He’s a legend 😍❤️ So nice to watch a chef very humble and down to earth as him 👌🏼
Can't tell you how much I loved watching him and Julia on PBS when I was a kid. He seems like a genuinely nice person too.
What a fantastic episode! Jacques is one of my childhood favorites who aged like wine and stands up with the best of em. God bless you both.
You were truly honored to have that opportunity
Jacques Pépin is a worldwide treasure! The greatest lesson of this day is cherishing your time with family and friends! That lesson alone is all I needed! 😍
Jacques is an absolute legend which I got to know through you Alex back at the omelette video! He makes everything look so simple and effortless, it truly is a sign of the mastery of cooking, which can only be accomplished when you dedicate your life to the craft.
I love making omeletes. I do it very similarly to how Alex does it and it felt like Jacques was telling me directly how I can improve my technique. This episode is very heartwarming. Jacques is such a humble welcoming person.
Such and honor and a blessing to have the chance to meet and spend time with such a great man and chef....We have loved watching him over the years and this video was so fun to watch and see him in another light. Thank you for making this really fun video for all of us, Alex!!
Two legends together. A duo I certainly wasn't expecting, but very happy to see!
Your omelette challenge was the first video of yours i saw and inspired me to make my first omelette at age 43, ive been making them every other lunch time since. Super creamy cheese 3egg french style, you even showed me how to get the demi-lune serving technique down patt! So glad you met such an icon, perhaps a few chefs will track you down over the next few decades and recount how you inspired them!
I recently bought the DVD, “The Essential Pepin”.
While watching, I noticed it wasn’t necessarily all about ingredients, rather TECHNIQUE!
Throughout my culinary ventures, I realized while ingredients matter, it’s all about the HOW to do it right.
The king of cuisine and a charming gentleman!
Im following Alex for years now. Everytime he uploads a video i get excited and i safe it for a couple of days when i have to, so im able to watch it in complete silence and peace after some very productive days. In the best case scenario im even able to cook something i love for me and my family and eat it while im watching Alex´s video . For me Alex has become what Jacques Pépin is for him. I just cant describe it but there is no other content creator that gives me this feeling. The amount of love that goes into this videos and food is just one of a kind. Thank you so much Alex for everything you do for us. So much work and you still keep going like it´s your first day.
This was tremendous. My only wish was there was more time with both of you speaking French with each other, the joy that brings and fluidity. Subtitles would have been fine.
If I were to pick my favorite two episodes of yours, it would be this one and the older one where you attempted to perfect Jacques Pepin’s omelette. I live in CT and he is a hero of mine. You have such a great and interesting series and I always look forward to your next episode.
Jacques Pepin is one of my favorite chefs. I’ve been watching him cook for years on PBS since the Julia Child days. He’s right on the account that some home cooks are sometimes better than the trained chef. I believe my Mom was definitely the best home cook. Everything she made was cooked to perfection topped with a big dollop of love. I’m so very envious of you to have met Chef Pepin but, Thank you for sharing with us a glimpse of your wonderful meeting with him. Amazing Video..
So beautiful, this made me tear up a bit. I'm such a big fan of you and Jacque. My wife has several of his art pieces, mostly chickens. I wish this video was an hour long.
Alex you made it, how many people get to meet their heroes and share such wonderful personal moments?
Congratulations!
I can't imagine what kind of emotions you must be feeling, getting to meet and cook with one of the people you've looked up to for so long.
I'm so happy for you, Alex. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the video. I know you're gonna cherish this moment forever.
Woow Alex c'est incroyable ! I watched Jacques Pépin's omelet video more times than I can count and your take on it 5 years ago is what made me follow your stuff. I'm so happy that you finally got to meet him, he's such a class act and an amazing person and chef. Bravo man, ça déchire :)
