"... it's not the end of the world." Words of a lifelong chef.

I was a strange child that grew up watching Pepin and Child on PBS while my friends were watching cartoons. I was always fascinated with the process of cooking, and that fascination turned into a lifelong passion for making delicious meals for family and friends. I'm a husband and father now, and I still love watching Jacques. I admire his ability to make everything look so easy and effortless. It took me numerous attempts to master his omelette technique. Jacques had more impact on me than any sports star, actor or rock star. He's a class act and a living treasure.

Duke H.....I also grew up watching Child and yoga on PBS instead of cartoons. So happy that I did. Love cooking for friends and family...and of course, I am still quite limber from all of the yoga....lol

More Essential Pepin cooking videos please. Thank you!

I enjoyed this vedio. Growing up in the produce business,both my grandfather & father had produce businesses. It was a treat always enjoying the wonderful vegetables & fruits. My mother always made terrific dishes with the produce. I always looked forward to eating them. Maybe that's why I am a vegetarian. Well thank you again Mr. Pepin.

Quel maitre! Nous lui devons tels remerciments pour tous les cadeaux de son oeuvre!

@13:01 LOVE the artichoke puzzle and his adorable sense of humor❣😉😂

Vegetables are expensive at the moment in my state (in Australia) because of the recent floods. But well worth it, they're very good quality. My social worker has been bringing me cauliflowers from her garden too. My other friend has a vegetable cupboard in the street where neighbours can go to swap vegetables they grow in their garden. Vegetables are really wonderful.

Greetings from South Africa. Watch your programs before bed

I love that Jacques shows rhe techniques used in his preparations

Brilliant observation. Seriously, well done.

The thing that French cooking gets that most Americans don't is that vegetables are more than just side dishes and can be just as satisfying as meat! Pepin is a wonderful cook!

26:08

If I feel stressed out by the day, I enjoy watching Jacques to calm down.

I think that he is good enough to season his food properly, given the fact how amazing his meals look and that he has been probably cooking for quite some time now

"If I have a chocolate cake, I can call it a vegetable" Oh Jacques you're so silly.

The way the man says butter. I could like, listen to that all night. Quick, someone make a 10 hour video of it

does anyone else find themselves making the classic pepin "slurp" sound while they're cooking? I can't help it.

Simple, brilliant and elegant. Jacques Pepin's shows have changed my culinary skills from drab to fab. Thanks Monsieur Pepin!

What a legend! Excellent demonstration of a wide variety of skills and knowledge that anyone could understand and put into practice. I know a bit about food and cooking, but this is the first time that I`ve seen such a clear, simple AND detailed demonstration on preparing and cooking artichokes.

I could listen to him say 'pepper' all day. 'Pipeuh'

Masterclass on artichokes!

Such a pleasure to watch and cook!!! Funny about the chocolate cake!

Sure, he may seem to add a lot of salt, but I bet if we compared grams of salt between his cooking and that of most commercial cooking; premade foods, Pépin's food would probably be substantially less than all that. This is the same with Olive Oil. IMHO. Sure, he uses a lot of cream, and he says when something is really decadent, but he does not apologize. The point of cooking is to feed delicious food to hungry mouths. I want to try a lot of his recipes, toute suite!

Cook the thing you love.

Such a pleasure to watch and listen....love your accent ...very charming and good humour...... My mouth is watering...very simple/elegant/ delicious recipes....merci!

knowledge doesnt exist unless it is shared, thanks for sharing jacque

There is no worst cooking disaster than over-salting a dish that otherwise would be wonderful. I have confidence that Mr. Pepin knows what he is doing in this regard.

If they used too much salt it would taste salty. He is cooking in a classic french style a lot of times and yes it can be very rich food. All in moderation is what people need to understand. Too much salt would mean salty. When salt is used properly you should never taste salt. Also remember that he is making dishes there for 4-8 people and you wouldnt eat all of it, so that salt amount is for a lot of food. You need something like .3 to .5 percent salt of the weight of your food for proper seasoning.

Butter and cream from free range healthy cows are actually good for you. And high cholesterol won't kill you either.

Your comment is interesting because I never advocated no salt whatsoever. I just thought it looked like salt on top of salt and mentioned that. Also, I didn't notice that you were on the set tasting the food Jacques was cooking to prove just how perfectly salted it was. It must be great to be able to taste Jacques' food right on the set to know that the seasoning is perfect. Do you think you can arrange a visit for me to meet him?

Brian Thomas Clark Same goes for your comments. And salt is more than just a salty condiment. It is a chemical that has certain effects on different foods. The rule of thumb is that every ingredient needs to be seasoned before or during cooking. If you don't, you not only change the taste, you change the chemical composition of the dish.

thanks, but my doctors beg to differ. so, i have to avoid butter and cream for except a tiny bit. i am sure there is a way that French ingenuity can get all the great taste through some other ingredient, n'est pas?

Unless you are lactose intolerant there is no reason to stay off butter and cream. The corn fritters were the unhealthiest recipe item here

My god, I didn't say the man couldn't season his food. I just pointed out how salty the tomato/zucchini gratin looked. Am I writing in English, or do you have some sort of Pepin axe to grind? Also, would have been better to start with this as your first comment rather than jumping straight to insults like the usual KZread shut-ins.

reason professional food tastes delicious and your food tastes like shit is the fact that good cooks actually know how to season. veggies without salt = bland

I am curious why Msr Pepin boils vegetables rather than steaming. Boiling cause much of the nutrients to leech into the water Steaming is much healthier and accomplishes the same thing as far as cooking
