I love how he explains the reason he uses things & what happens to them while they are cooking. Jacques Pépin is my all-time favorite Chef. My life-long dream is to meet him, cook with him, & listen to him speak of his life experiences.

Haha this is so early 90s health-conscious focused it's kinda funny. Still, Jacques is showing us a lot of useful and practical things like always.

@@theoneymee I agree. Gravy and chives on top of a pan fried lean cut. That's not at all what I'm looking for when I cook or eat steak.

The way he reassures the audience about possible substitutions: “ It will be perfectly fine”. Makes me feel good about what ingredients I can use and don’t feel stuck with my choices! Thank you Jacques, you’re the best !❤️

I love how he uses his hands for everything prior to placing it on the pan or plate, etc. That is my style of cooking. My dad always told me food needs to be touched and it affects the flavour of the food big time. I believe it.

Just a joy to watch the man. His book, "The Apprentice," I would highly recommend.

I’m missed Jacques Pepin very much. He’s been a chef for over 60 years.

There are so many cooking shows. But this has got to be the best,. Such a charming, calm gentleman. Love it!

Used to watch him even when my grandma was still here, she passed away in 2015 but I keep fond memories including watching Jacques Pepin's cooking shows with her

So fluid, no wasted movement, always my favorite chef, he cooks like I learned from a Ritz Carlton Chef

I've learned many things from these Jacques Pepin videos and even tried a few of the recipes, which were awesome. But the best thing I learned from this video is saying "Lea & Perrins" instead of trying to say "Worcestershire". Thank you KQED and Merci beaucoup Master Chef Pepin!!!

The best food of my life I ate in Lyon and this was in a small hotel, the cook a woman with no reputation, someone who cooks every day for her family too. Ingredients were fresh and best quality. The sauces and dressings were used sparingly. Her menu had enough variety to keep the palate happy, but not overwhelmed. Soup, fish appetiser, salad, a small piece of steak, slices of warm baguette, pickled fruit, creme brulee. I've tried ever since to reproduce the simple salad she made with chicory and bits of mandarin orange. Just exquisite.

He is so excellent. Such a joy to watch and to learn from. He gets right to the point and shares valuable info all while he’s creating a fabulous meal. I love that he is so down to earth. His approach to cooking is so comforting and real. A true gem! 😋

It’s amazing how relevant this nearly 40 year old video is. And what’s even more amazing is how much you can learn from it. THIS is the secret to a long and happy life. Not like the drama filled “cooking” shows of today.

Truth

so young here. Wonderful teacher. A real pro

When I was a little kid and stayed home from school with a cold, I would watch Jacques Pepin on KQED. I loved his banter with Julia Child as well. Now, over 50 years later, and >15 years living in France, I would love to cook dinner with him. We would have fun arguing but I am sure it would be fun.

This is what we all should look for in a friend, and what we all should aspire to be ourselves. Class act, pure and simple.

Class class class. Jacques Pepin is class.

it is so wonderful to see Jacques Pepin. i just love him. gourmet food is so good - layered tastes and delectable. i don’t know why it’s no longer - what? “in style”. there used to be French restaurants all over New York. they’re rare now. very disheartening.

he's also giving a chemistry class.

Recommending against soaking dry beans on the ground that they give gas is understandable (simple solution: dump the soaking liquid)… and then reason just goes hilariously out the window when the implication made is that the gas is caused *by fermentation* from soaking a dry product in water overnight - that has to be the silliest thing I’ve heard all day, I have to say! I definitely LOL’d at that

The *GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, French *chef, JACQUES PEPIN! (*Now 87 years old!) [ KQED! ] Thanks! *I remain amazed!

KQED, thank you and merci for posting these videos. Jacques is a master, but he is also generous and gracious, seems like someone with whom I’d like to share a meal and glass of wine.

Thanks for this…being a chef, I feel much shame watching some of these new KZread video recipes done by amateurs. finally some real cooking that requires real skill and training. Not to mention, done in the same amount of time or less

Those beans look incredible. I can just taste them.

If there is a culinary hall of fame, there should be a statue of this man in it.

Love chef Pepin. World’s best culinary teacher

It's very copyable too, Anyone could go out and make this, it's all explained well with nothing pretentious or weird ingredients etc. You should look up Keith Floyd, a french inspired British chef that I learned to cook by watching when I was a student

I made this merchant steak more than 30 years ago. I’m glad to see it again as I will make it again.

Gosh, what a heartwarming comforting cooking show, you can smell the homey feeling of this dish

At the roughly 3:40 mark Chef calls out Chinese Broccoli. Nope I'm pretty sure it is baby Bok Choi and not Chinese broccoli (which I love by the way even if bok choi is my favorite). I do love how Chef also talks about Italian Rapini (Broccoli Rabe) which is stronger than Bok Choi and just perfect with steak, or spicy chicken or fish. And by no means do I mean any disrespect to Chef ever. I have always adored him since I was a teennager in the 1980's.I still cook from my Today Gourmet cookbook

Absolute Legend.

From my experience in trying to get things perfect, timing is everything. Things need to come off, things need to go on, things need to be prepped in between(better ahead of time). The layout of this video and the seamless style is very impressive for its age. He taught how to prep his steak sauce while the steaks were on their first side for less than a few mins. That was a major skills flex. Move potatoes around. Then when he sat down at the table at the end with other plates already premade that was a production skills flex. Good stuff. You can have all of the right ingredients, but if you're not loving everything all at once then it can all go downhill very quickly. This was a hardy looking meal.

One of his best episodes, only advice do not add salt to the bean before fully boiled as it makes them harder, always salt the beans at the very end of the boiling.

I would love to see Jacques in person I have watched him since the beginning of KQED as far back as I can remember when I got married in 1975 my husband who has passed away since we watched all of the cooking shows on KQED we watched Julia there there's so many James Beard we watched I can't even remember there's so many names from so long ago if it's just beautiful to see all this all over again that brings back many memories and my husband I used to write down recipes and try them out I don't remember this one man's name but he made a meatloaf bomb Yes it was a round meatloaf I said to my husband well you're going to do this one because I usually make a meatloaf in a loaf pan but he made a round meatloaf and he cooked it the way that the cooked it was on a square Cookie sheet. He made the mashed potatoes with it just like the man cooked and that's what we had then was delicious!!🍽️🍴🍲🥔🥔 Thank you KQED 💕
