This man feels like a family member to me. It is always the little things with him that fascinate me like cutting the ham in half so the bread edge has a straight edge of ham. Watching him alone is like Christmas Day. Watching him and Julia together was liking having two Christmas days in one.

When he did that I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't help but start laughing with glee. For some reason it just makes me so happy. Then also like him just saying "things change" and snapping up a loose piece of ham in the same breath I was cracking up

Do this with your omelets. Semi circle omelet in an 8 inch pan, line up the right angle of the quarter circle with opposite bread corners. I do mine with cheese and jalapeño sauce.

What is (Islam ❤️) ? Islam is the name of the religion, or more properly the ‘way of life’, which God (Allah) has revealed and which was practiced by all of the Prophets and Messengers of God that He sent to mankind. Even the name stands out unique among other distorted religions in that it means a state of being; it does not refer to any particular person, such as Christianity, Buddhism or Zoroastrianism; a tribe like Judaism; or a nation like Hinduism. The root Arabic word from which Islam is derived implies peace, safety, salutation, protection, blamelessness, wholesomeness, submission, acceptance, surrender, and salvation. Islam specifically means being in the state of submission to God, worshipping Him Alone, and reverently accepting and obeying His Law. Through this submission, the peace, security, and wholesome well-being implied in its literal meaning is achieved. Hence, a Muslim or Muslimah is a person (male or female) in that state of submission. A person’s Islam weakens through sins, ignorance, and wrong-doing, and becomes nullified in totality by associating partners with God or disbelieving in Him.

Jacques is a national treasure. If I had to choose one celebrity chef to teach children to cook, it would be him. He's not bombastic, flamboyant, or edgy. He doesn't intimidate or posture. Instead, he conveys simplicity without dumbing-down the need for technique and good ingredients. He also does this FAST, in real time! But, his true magic comes from the way he weaves in the tradition, sentiment, and cultural significance of these foods. My mother is 92 and when she watches Jacques its as if she is watching a member of her own family. I wish we had more of this spiritual generosity in the programs we watch.

Such a simple yet great tasting meal

Addition by subtraction. It makes his Croque Monsieur better than others I've tried. Or any other cheese sandwich for that matter. As few ingredients as possible, and don't mess with it. And that holds true for for decades of his recipes I have made. His shows taught me how to cook. Started as a young man copying his recipes from a VCR. Now at old age, still coping his recipes from the internet. This still blows my mind.

God bless this man

Yummy looks so good 🧡👍👍

LOVE THIS SANDWICH

Thank You, Monsieur Pepin!! 👍

Always learn something. Thank you.

He makes it the OG way. For the better part of the last quarter of a decade, croque monsieurs at most restaurants/cafes have had cheese melted on top.
