WOW IN-sane! He cooks so casually but in the end, it's stunning every time! True Master..

The man continues to amaze! Everything so effortless, yet he is always so “down to earth” Favorite chef, hands down.

I like the fact that he routinely cooks for two.

This is why I love Jacques ... he taught me how to prepare mushrooms. YES you can wash them. How to crack an egg, how to supreme, how to garnish EVERYTHING because food is special, you're special, time is special. Garnish it. :)

@Megg Sohn, I wholeheartedly agree. Sure miss Julia -- she reminds me of another amazing chef in my life-- mom. Too many recipes simply don't include the sincere 'touch of love' garnish, as Jacque, Julia, and the other true chefs of time have exhibited. No matter how closely one follows a favorite chefs/ relatives recipe without 'the love' it just doesn't taste the same ----

There is no one like Jaques Pepin!

I've heard a couple of reasons for Julia Child's tone, cadence, oddness etc, of speech. Whatever the reason many ppl were just fine with it or pretended to be. Nothing against Julia, I myself was just unable to keep up and take notes fast enough when I was much younger, & even today. I don't know what the aim was for Pepin & Childs to make a cookbook together but I also have a much thumbed copy of that one too. I've learned many things over much of the last 40+ years of cooking, as much from Pepin as many thrifty Italian French, German etc Great Grandmothers. Pepin & Julia & so many other cookbook authors have been kindly reinforcing these memories until most times I can whip up something better than just opening a can or a box to feed my friends & family. And for that I am very grateful.

well this was my first video from Jacques Pepin. This looks amazing and simple. I'm making this for my wife this weekend!

you'll see snobby chefs on cooking shows complain about a contestants dish they didn't remove the abductor muscle and here you have the master himself eat it raw and says its fine.

@adamchurvis1

2 жыл бұрын

They are not being snobby. The abductor is a slow-twitch muscle, so it cooks to a hard texture very quickly. It's like chewing on an unexpected piece of gristle. Removing it before cooking elevates the dish, and is an expected practice in most fine dining establishments, like my house :) You know when you try to open a diver scallop shell but you need a cut-resistant glove to hold it and a thick and stubby knife blade to pry the two shell halves apart? That is that one little abductor muscle in the scallop doing that. So yeah, it's damn tough to chew. Eating it is a stunt, not an expected practice. I love Jacques Pepin. His TV shows encouraged me to cook almost forty years ago. La Methode was the very first cookery book I purchased, and I still have its stained, dog-eared, well-worn pages today. I shall be forever grateful for the path on which he started me. But I cannot abide by suggesting that plating a cooked scallop abductor muscle is acceptable. I simply must draw the line before that statement.

@@hardfugoo1 In this one laser-focused case? For my money it's insufferable guy in the comments, because his claim is and has been supported by scientific evidence, and is supplemented by decades of personal experience. Did my scientific explanation of exactly what that muscle IS because of what it DOES and how that RESULTS in a hard nugget being chewed along with a pillowy-soft morsel of perfectly-cooked scallop, not convince you that my premised was more well thought out and reasoned? No? Well then, you may want to look at your decision-making process, because it really should be guided more by logic and reason than it is by celebrity infatuation. Understand that I respect and love Jacques for starting me down a path I have been following for forty years now. But what you are doing is a fallacy known as argumentum ad verecundiam, or "Appeal to Authority," such that you are using his opinion as a basis for logical argument, and that is always a non-starter. I, on the other hand, have supplied IMMUTABLE FACTS as the FOUNDATION of my argument, and have only supplemented my premise with anecdotes of personal experience. Did they not teach you this in school?

@@EngineerMikeF How in god's name does that have ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with this discussion about not plating the abductor muscle? I would think that "make it the best you can," as you put it, would include NOT plating a gristle-solid nugget to be chewed along with the adductor muscle (the tender part you eat). And do you use the "snob" label for people with refined palates? And "people," as you put it, are those who can't discern the difference between well-executed cuisine and everything less? That would be a massive mistake.

I have learned so much from him, which has really inproved my quality of life!

pour faire une omelette, il faut casser des œufs … but it is not simple, but a matter of high technical skill, as he says himself ;-)

The dishes are simple and elegant. Besides his technique, he is clean and hygienic in his kitchen. I miss his shows with Julia Child.

It just doesn't get any more legendary than Chef Pepin. I know he misses his best girl. I gotta be honest, I'm bracing myself for when he moves on to see her again. 🙏😇
