Same hear! And he uses both hands to open his cracked eggs! I somehow feel validated in insisting on using two hands instead of using one hand and picking out egg shells until I’m “good enough” at cracking an egg. This is a chef that is more concerned about teaching than showing off. Bravo 👏🏻

Jacques, some of my most wonderful memories of my mother are the 2 of us watching you cook on television and then trying your recipes. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I remember one particular episode where you were cooking sugar and your dipped your fingers in water & grabbed the bubbles of molten sugar to test what stage you were at. We both were amazed.

The amount of focus he has when he's making an omelet is amazing you never see another chef doing that

The Master Chef yet again gives a lesson that is something reachable to any person, even if they have limited means. This is harder to do than requiring students to have a full kitchen with everything, and access to every kind of ingredient. His engriedient is love here!

Anthony Bourdain brought me here. Wonderful demonstration from one of the World’s great Chefs, Jacques Pepin.

I'll see how long it takes for this channel to answer my previous questions, regarding when these were recorded, before I decide to unsubscribe, or not. I want to be subscribed to a channel that is actively working with Jacques. If I don't know when this was recorded, then how can this channel be trusted with providing new content? It's truly amazing, how far a little bit of information goes. It can mean the difference between keeping subscribers and losing them.

When I first started cooking omelettes I came across Pepin's previous Omelette video and I've been making / perfecting these for 7 years already. Crazy that he just put out a nother video on this.

Pepin has taught me so much about so many cuisines and his homey way of making everything tells u anyone can do it, you dont need a fancy kitchen or equipment. I know he has a fancy kitchen but it never intimidated me when watching his shows or recipes. Thank you Pepin for all the knowledge you've shared over years 🧡
