    In this episode of "American Masters: At Home," Pépin teaches us how to make onion soup gratinée: "You can do an onion soup, just the onion sauteed with the chicken stock or beef stock, and serve it like this by itself, and that would be an onion soup. But when you add the words gratinée, it is done with a crust of bread and of course cheese."

    I love that his kitchen isn’t one of these grand spaces with gleaming stainless everywhere and no clutter or soul at all. His looks like it could be anyone’s kitchen, yet he’s one of the best chefs in the world. His humbleness and need to teach make Jacques Pepin a culinary treasure for all of us.

      Exactly. He has the skills, knowledge, and the resources to open probably multiple Michelin starred restaurants if he so desired and he'd be richer than he ever was now. Yet he decided to forego that and instead give us some of the best instructional cooking series we have. The fact that he's still making these videos in his old age from his own house just shows how much he loves cooking and teaching.

      As Chef Pepin always says it's all about technique and using what's available to you. That's what I love about these at home recipes, he's using ingredients we all have or can easily get at the market.

    Once again Jacques Pepin generously teaches us how to do it the right way; the authentic French way, that is eminently sensible. This morning a friend sent me a French Onion Soup recipe from Cooks Illustrated that takes 4 hours to make (I'm not kidding). Right away I thought that was ridiculous, so I looked up how the Master does it and here it is! Jacques Pepin is a true professional that instils his wonderful cooking artistry with love and warmth for all to enjoy. Merci beaucoup M. Pepin!

  • @Momoka7

    I usually cut the onions different, in stripes. Then I cook those all the way down... until they are super soft, brown... until a sweet juice comes out(only if you cook 10 or so in a big pot). Takes me a good 45 min just to get the onions to that state. And then I add beef stock(beef meat and bones) and simmer that for 10-15 minutes so the flavors can mix. We usually not need croutons or cheese... but occasional that is done for comfort here too.
    Very similar to what is shown... really basic cooking that results in amazing food. I hope we all see more of you, Jacques Pépin, in the next year as well as this!

    • @sandrabergquist1684

      Slow cooking of onions over a lower heat is the answer for best flavor, no raw taste. Same goes for any base, be it sofrito or mirepoix. This is absolutely delicious.

    I've made this soup many times after watching this video - two things are absolutely essential - slowly browning the onions and REAL Gruyere cheese - you can use the stock of your choice or you can make it with water (as he mentioned that his mother used to do). I've made it with water or vegetable stock and even miso and it's really good and hearty and satisfying. This is the essence of peasant food and it is always delicious!

    I married without ever having cooked a meal. My first teacher was Betty Crocker. Then Julia burst on the scene and I learned her boeuf bourguignon. That made me a star in my own small circle. I added a few more simple French, Italian mainstays. Meanwhile I practiced up on pies, yeast rolls…and expanded my very narrow range of salad ingredients and dressings.
    Along came Jacques, with his simplified, approachable dishes…and I finally relaxed, learned to take stock and just enjoy..,and to patronize delis, good local bakeries. It has been a lifetime of fun. Thank you, France for sharing him. What a treasure.

When I was in the service in San Antonio the newspapwe had a recipe sharing column where people might share recipes .
