How many of us, when in the kitchen cooking something, find ourselves talking to ourselves like Jaques? He is a consummate professional, a great teacher, and my favorite Chef, with a Capital C.
I have watched this wonderful man so much that I can recognize the recipes in the opening credits. Jacques Pépin is a genuine treasure that has made the world a better place simply by being a part of it. Thank you for all the years of smiles, Jacques. You are loved and appreciated more than you will ever know.
The sounds and noises that the utensils make when cooking, are relaxing and soothing, in fact his voice and the sounds put me to sleep. Back when we had VHS players, I had to record the shows in order to get the recipes because I'd always fall asleep.😴🥱
Jacques Pépin is nothing short of brilliant. He makes all of this look so effortless and easy, but not by being flashy and intimidating. He has such a "if I can do it, you can do it" attitude and I love him for it.
Chef Jacques. ,perhaps I am assuming too much, but your style in the kitchen is so great, I believe we would get along great , just your overall way you do things, in the kitchen. including having that glass of the right wine, after or with the meal. The family , means so much in your lifestyle. I think that is so great. ...Happy Cooking!!
It's an objective fact that a plate of rosti potatoes with scrambled eggs spread over them is the world's best breakfast. Plus, it gives you all the energy you could need to run a marathon or spend the day sitting around thinking about your life choices.
This is 2022 and I want to see any video he has made. I would love if he would do a video about his charity work. When he feels like it and if it is not asking too much, I think his reflections on his long marriage and also raising children (he is so comfortable with children). And cooking, he makes us believe we can make cook too, and so we do. Gardening, art, ...is there anything he cannot do! I saw his appearance on Rachel Ray and I could see he so full of life. We all love you, Jacques.
I’ve enjoyed this man for so many years, watching him, is like visiting a loved relative. Wonderful talent, and Fascinating life. He is so inspirational and soothing.... The BEST..
Gotta love Chef Pépin. Not only can he cook . . . he also has the most laid back way of explaining how it's done. No fancy frills . . . just sheer goodness. THANK you for sharing this !
When he’s cutting tomatoes… and is mildly annoyed at the dull knife and he casually grabs another to sharpen it. So naturally like breathing. And he’s definitely not doing it for the camera. amazing to watch.
Simple dishes and well honed skills. This is what can get people into cooking, not theatrics, music, camera tricks and higly technical paintings on a plate.
With all the extreme dishes and rock-star cooks out there, Chef Pepin shows us what essential cooking is all about: Delicious Food. I love to cook but this video taught me things that I never would have thought about. Like simple knife technique (going at a diagonal) to how delicious classic ingredients can be like polenta and yam. We are very lucky to have these videos available for us. Thank you, Chef!
If you enjoy cooking and learning about cooking, Pepin is the best resource. His videos are packed full of information if you're observant, as you appear to be. Keep watching. It's so much fun.
lapetitenellie Jacques cooks the way cooking is met to be done. Today at culinary school they do not teach the way Jacques cooks. Cooking techniques are getting lost to lazyness.
I could watch him 24-7 lots of grand ideas on the kitchen master chef Pepin. Yes comfort food is what I grew up on. My grandfather was a chef He was a sheepherder as a young man in Greece. He watched his mother cook as a young boy. He was able to get a job as as a chef in the local restaurant and a dishwasher in USA and they taught him how to cook,he cooked many rice potato and lamb dishes. My grandmother from Romania wasn't a chef but she could make spinach pies,sweet noodle pies, many lamb,rice,veal, potato dishes veggies lots of squash,eggplant, corn,..... I love cooking myself I said someday I'm going to have a big kitchen with all things like Jacque,so I could try out his delicious recipes .thank you master chef.been watching you for years.. 👨🍳.I love when your daughter Claudine helps you out in the kitchen.💕🍮🍲🍽️🍴
That looks so easy to make. I always thought risotto was difficult to make. Jacques you make it look so simply. You explain everything so carefully. Thank you so much for th wonderful receipe. WA LA.
@@shaylagogobean417 Yesss! All the instructions I've ever seen make it look like it takes a lot of stirring and attention. But if it's complex and finicky and hard to understand where something goes wrong, it's not worth doing at home. But it's really simple the way JP does it, if you know the amount of rice and water you need beforehand, and _cover_. It's literally just cooking rice with somewhat too much water. He sees the essence of it and makes it happen. Amazing.
I love how this renowned chef explains each step so that I not only follow I want to replicate every dish , vegetables are amazing ! Do you think it's the butter ?
theresa scott ...oh, the butter is very important! Unsalted! And eef possible, from Normandie! Heh heh. I've found one butter here in Madrid almost as good as the ones from Normandy. But always use unsalted (sweet) butter!
Jacques Pepin has such a homely feeling with his cooking shows. I love it. He inspired me for my next two weeks of cooking. My Mum had an operation on her knee yesterday so I've ordered a lot of meat that I will roast and cook for her and her boyfriend (who doesn't know how to cook!)
This man is a master! So unassuming and he cooks everything that looks like it's such an easy thing to do and out comes these wonderful dishes. This is what really teaches home cooks
Another absolutely wonderful programme with the charming and talented Jacques Pépin. I have just made the polenta with mushroom and vegetable ragout, and it is superb.
Those .."Power Hands" incredible! The "Hand Skills & Techniques" awesome! Basic & Quality ingredients..unforgettable! "Tips & Secrets" of the trade..just selfless! Tried most all of his cooking.. first try- tough to learn..2nd try- better! 3rd try - just perfect! Surprised but believed in it.. so happy! Shocked.. that family & friends ordered it for a pay! Thank you..Mr Pepin
I love listening to all the things he does and really miss living near a larger city where there were more food choices available. I've moved southish, and while the winters are milder, the food choices are seriously small.
He's great, he's like the joy of painting with Bob Ross, whether you cook or not it's a great relaxing show to watch and learn and be entertained at the same time
Greetings Sir Jacque...because of you I can cook an elegant egg 10 different ways...thank you for sharing ..keep it coming .thank you for sharing....see you soon
I’m going to dedicate this week to making a few of these, starting with the potatoes today . I think they’ll go well with pork chops and mushroom gravy.
I made my first Risotto tonight using the quick instructions in the intro segment. I didn’t have any fennel on hand, and I added a thinly sliced clove of garlic. It was delicious and all the kids loved it. Thanks Jacques and KQED for this upload, and all the others. I’ve been so inspired lately to try new dishes and have been mining all the Pépin videos I can find for ideas. I also have the big Essential Pépin recipe book which is always gold. Going to try Grilled Lamb next week.
Pepin comes from Bourg en Bresse which is southern Burgundy not far from Lyon. This is corn country so when he tells you about corn, he knows what he's talking about. Unusual for French chefs.
@Iris Gross That may be true, but a person doesn't have to be a chef to judge a meal. They don't have to be a producer to judge a movie. They don't need to be a writer to judge a book. They don't need to be a pianist to judge a recital. Stop making the claim that any critic needs to be an expert in whatever they are judging for it to be a valid criticism, it is a trite and facetious claim. 21:20 Did he just use a knife as a steel to sharpen another knife?
I'm so lame. I didn't know you could peel a pepper. Yes after roasting but never thought before. lol Thanks Chef Pepin! Also took note of how to sharpen and knife with another knife. You're awesome!
Does Monsieur Pepin not have feelings in his fingers?! 😅 I always squeal a little in sympathy pain when he mixes things in a hot skillet or removes hot food from a hot skillet with his BARE HANDS! I think years in the kitchen, and knowing where to grab, have given him super powers. P.S. Jacques Pepin inspired me to start cooking 28 years ago and he continues to inspire, educate and enlighten. ❤
maryinsanfrancisco Like most professionals who worked their way up the culinary ladder, he has had his share of burns. He's probably working on his hundredth layer of skin by now. As I am a pansy amateur, I still reach for the hot pads and spatulas.
Just made the doormat potato pancake. It's the best potato anything I have ever ate, bar none. Mine didnt have the perfect roundness his did. Based upon the uneven edge as shown here with this video, he probably cut the edges for looks. Run some vegetable oil around the edge and shake it to free it when your ready to flip after the 10 minutes Parts of the edges didnt cook as fast as the middle, so I had to cut them, and leave them in the pan to finish. Used seven green onions, which was the best I could guess on start/stopping the video. I believe it was about 10 percent more than he used. After seeing the uneven finished product, I thought it was gonna be a bust. Put some sour cream with a piece of smoked salmon as he suggested, and it was outta this world. It had a softer potato taste than your normal potato, and the green onion and salt and pepper werent detectable. Conclusion? it aint pretty, but it tastes better than pretty..
+algini12 I really appreciate it when people actually try making a recipe they've seen in a video or read on a site then post their experienced feedback--thank you SO MUCH for sharing your detailed review!
dragonflycat You're very welcome. I do that all the time, though I tend to not do the ones that are a bust for me. I tend to think I am doing something wrong. For some reason, these just Jacque videos stayed, while the ones he did with Julia have all been removed. Very sad. You have to wonder what Julia would think of that.
Thank you, algorithm for digging this one back up. This ten year vid will probably get the views it deserves now.
Couldn't agree more.
Конечно, новое поколение даст свою реакцию.
@@asmikovakimyan7588
And, no doubt, they will be super picky CRITICAL of this great Master Chef.
@@joannaedwards6325Это их проблемы,а наше поколение обожает любимого Пепена.
В те годы нынешнее поколение еще "шмыгало носом "а мы учились готовить у любимого кулинара.

Love this man!
How many of us, when in the kitchen cooking something, find ourselves talking to ourselves like Jaques? He is a consummate professional, a great teacher, and my favorite Chef, with a Capital C.
Jacque Pepin is more than a chef, he is an artist and a legend. Watching him is the most relaxing part of my day.
I have watched this wonderful man so much that I can recognize the recipes in the opening credits. Jacques Pépin is a genuine treasure that has made the world a better place simply by being a part of it. Thank you for all the years of smiles, Jacques.

There is no such thing as too much Pepin.
I can watch chef Pepin slice, chop and dice vegetables all day
The sounds and noises that the utensils make when cooking, are relaxing and soothing, in fact his voice and the sounds put me to sleep. Back when we had VHS players, I had to record the shows in order to get the recipes because I'd always fall asleep.😴🥱
I want to believe this format of cooking show isn't dead. Just classic.
New cooking shows r shit. Competitions??? Cheap tv fodder
Jacques Pépin is nothing short of brilliant. He makes all of this look so effortless and easy, but not by being flashy and intimidating. He has such a "if I can do it, you can do it" attitude and I love him for it.

I'm vegan, but I watch JP more than any UA-cam vegan chef because he really shows the viewer how to use vegetables so effectively.
Is it weird that, whenever I feel stressed, I watch this video because his voice is so calming?
+twilight1973able Look up ASMR
+TheSinfultictac ASMR rocks.
ASMr. Rogers.
This is why we have to support public television. Bob Ross. Pépin. Lidia Bastianich. All of these shows make us happier, smarter and calmer.
Nope, it really is relaxing. Not just him, but so well produced.
The cold open on this is brilliant. No music, just close-in sounds of the risotto and Chef talking. Perfect.
lolololol 😂😅😂
It's an objective fact that a plate of rosti potatoes with scrambled eggs spread over them is the world's best breakfast. Plus, it gives you all the energy you could need to run a marathon or spend the day sitting around thinking about your life choices.

I am truly an admirer of Jacques, he is fabulous in all he does, His love if family, ,is boundless. God Bless you, Master Chef, Jacques!!
What a great guy. I watch him almost every night. So knowledgeable, relaxed, informative, genuine.
I’ve enjoyed this man for so many years, watching him, is like visiting a loved relative. Wonderful talent, and Fascinating life. He is so inspirational and soothing.... The BEST..
Gotta love Chef Pépin. Not only can he cook . . . he also has the most laid back way of explaining
how it's done. No fancy frills . . . just sheer goodness. THANK you for sharing this !
When he’s cutting tomatoes… and is mildly annoyed at the dull knife and he casually grabs another to sharpen it.
So naturally like breathing.
And he’s definitely not doing it for the camera. amazing to watch.
I love watching him just take a table of ingredients and make a work of art with it.
It seems KQED is putting up Jacques episodes that have been down for awhile. Keep 'em coming and thanks!
Simple dishes and well honed skills. This is what can get people into cooking, not theatrics, music, camera tricks and higly technical paintings on a plate.

6:15 may God bless those 'asbestos fingers'.... I love every moment of Chef Pepin's videos...
The kitchen is the most relaxing place indeed. Cook and relax!
I have been cooking since it is 4 years old I'm almost 40 respect to this man Used to watch him And Julia all the time when I was growing up
I love this mans show he has introduced me to so many ingredients that I would never have used without inspiration.
I love it. No hard to find spices and very simple ingredients. And this man is absolutely adorable!
Joan Evangelista Nice cleavage👍
these videos warm my heart so much. i feel very sad when they're over.
Years later this is still such a great channel to watch. This guy rocks.
He makes everything look so easy.
Just listening to all the tips while he prepares the dishes.
Such a lovely and endearing human being. Je t'aime Pepin.
I love Pepin. He makes me feel better after a hard day :)
i love when he sharpens his knife after it slips from cutting the tomato!

That is a real chef always loved his work incredible skills and super polite
Ricardo Augusto Pinto Do what you do, VERY well or you are only lying to yourself.
I love that Jaques tucks the last sweet potato for a wreath arrangement
Pepin knows how to cook Savory Staples he is a good chef he knows how to cook like in France.
Another absolutely wonderful programme with the charming and talented Jacques Pépin. I have just made the polenta with mushroom and vegetable ragout, and it is superb.
Just for all the bad things I've done and for how much I hate myself, I watch Jacques Pepin when I'm hungry.
Too funny!
So knowledgeable. He makes it look so easy and endless ideas and possibilities on a dish ❤️🇨🇦
Did you notice he sharpened his tomato knife on another knife without even thinking about it? Grandmaster at work, right there.
Those .."Power Hands" incredible! The "Hand Skills & Techniques" awesome!

Thank you..Mr Pepin
Jack is the real deal. so glad he offers the easy to make comfort foods.
after a hard day in the office,it is very relaxing to hear your calm voice and learn some new recipes..i will cook for Easter for 30 people,
I love listening to all the things he does and really miss living near a larger city where there were more food choices available. I've moved southish, and while the winters are milder, the food choices are seriously small.
his voice is wonderfully soothing
Wonderful. I feel as if he's talking to me personally. So down to earth. A great master chef❤
Wow, what a wonderfully laid back approach to cooking. It makes a hell of a change!
Senor Pepin....Tu eres el mejor....con mucho!...
What joy watching him cook!
I love watching him cook. It's so peaceful and very easy to follow.
He's great, he's like the joy of painting with Bob Ross, whether you cook or not it's a great relaxing show to watch and learn and be entertained at the same time
I watched him on tv yesterday and i just had to look for more of his recipes! He makes it so understandable and doable and delicious!!! Love love it!
In my mind, i speak in a French accent when I watch M. Pepin. No accent on my keyboard.

21:20 Did he just use a knife as a steel to sharpen another knife?
Yessir he did, used the back of the other knife. Probably didn't have a steel on set, lol.
he is good but there is michelin star chefs who are better and have less experience so goes to show experience doesn't really matter
Yes nothing wrong with that. Just straightening an edge (honing), not sharpening (grinding).
A steel...didn't need one!
This guy cooks like Bob Ross paints, and it's awesome.
Love Chef Pepin. Watched him growing up and learned so much. C’est Manifique!!!
Love your ability to teach the art of cooking so appealingly!!!
You had me at “a little extra cheese always welcome”
That’s how I live my life
Same.
I love this man, epic and classic; never out of style. Thank you Chef Pepin!
