My husband, when he was alive, really loved Jacques Pepin. He made many of Pepin's recipes and would be so thrilled whenever he saw him on TV. He would sit with pen and paper to take notes and didn't want to be disturbed. After, it was all he talked about until he got to make the dish. I am going to make this dish!

look up the French paradox

I like his quietness, gentle narrative, bits of fun, confidence, total command of his craft - HIS QUIETNESS. Celebrity chefs generally annoy me with their ego, noise, rushing about like a wet hen. This man doesn't have to perform, just does his peaceful, clever thing, with lovely results.

Jacques has various degrees, is an artist, and the best teaching chef in the history of our country. How many generations has he taught and how many chefs has he inspired when he teaches them at culinary school. Icon.

Just watching him work so effortlessly is relaxing.

i remember watching him teach his daughter to cook on the PBS series they did together, but nothing will ever top him cooking with Julia Child. my mom and i used to look forward to watching them together every weekend.

I love the host..she's a good soul..you can tell.. kind, patient and respectful..well done

I have watched so many cooking shows featuring Jacques. I just love his way of cooking. He can go rustic to 5 star and it's never a big deal to him and always has a sense of humor. I just enjoy him immensely. He reminds me of my grandfather. A great teacher.

I’ve been watching Jacques Pepin since I was a kid. This is one of my favorite recipes.

Probably the best cook on the planet , especially if you’re talking French cuisine and technique.

It is genious! I'm with the daughter here I do this with pumpkin puree to make a stunning silky fluffy cheesy pumpkin souffle. Might as well get the veg in where you can.

What a breeze of fresh air: No tattoo, no yelling, no moving like a mad dog with an über ego... simply cooking with love and artful enthusiasm. J'adore ! Merci Jacques and merci Kristen for your elegance, class, and "bienveillance". À l'ancienne !

I remember when I was a kid in the early 90's almost every weekend I would try to catch Jacques Pepin, Martin Yan, and Jeff Smith on PBS in their respective cooking shows.

"about 375 degrees, 35, 40 minutes, something like that. And during that time, you can drink a bottle of wine" -The best Chef to ever do it

Jacques & Julia taught me to be brave & cook with confidence by the magic of tv!

I adore Jaques Pepín. I so love it when he guest stars. Such a master craftsman. 💕

Great teacher, he is one of a kind, a treasure.

I’m going to try my first soufflé with this recipe! Thank you

Jacques is so cool. So great to see him and hear his stories.

The amount of respect the host has for the chef was beautiful,you can just see it in her eyes

I love this man! He and Julia Child are THE cooks to beat all cooks. They have made more of an impact on home and professional cooking than any other culinary artist. "Simple is best." There is a KZread video of him with an audience, deboning a chicken to make a gallantine, and he makes it look effortless. Other well-known chefs in the audience were in awe of him. He is a world treasure.

This is by far and away the best way to cook eggs! I've had (and made) eggs every which way, and this is the one that my children clammer for again and again. The techniques are so basic and I use them everywhere! Sauces from roux, tempering eggs, eggs as a leavener in a bake, buttering the dish... I never knew souffles were this easy! Thank you @Food52 for publishing this gem!
