I've watched a ton of cooking shows over five decades. Nobody- let me repeat- NOBODY handles a knife the way this man can. I agree that he is indeed the GOAT of the art of preparing food.
The world is better with Jacque Pepin in it. I have made numerous recipes that I’ve seen on RUclips. Always delicious always a joy knowing this man taught me how to make it.
Pain au beurre as his favorite meal, he is the greatest. Really appreciates life and gives that radiance out to the audience. God bless him and his family.
Incredible humble man, incredible life story am humbled by simply watching him! Our life stories are, in many ways, so parallel it is uncanny. Although i just ended up being a very simple organic farmer that feeds every single person I can. He, of course, has achieved greatness. Very well deserved! Kudo's Mr. Pepin!
I just love watching Jacques Pépin. I remember as a kid watching him and Julia every weekend on PBS. The nice thing was that they showed how to cook things in a way we can understand. If only cooking shows were like that today.
This is a deeply heart-warming interview with a wonderful person and chef. When I was a zoology grad student at UC Berkeley in the 1980’s, I found a copy of Everyday Cooking with Jacques Pépin (2982) on the MVZ’s book giveaway table. I think it might have belonged to my retired advisor Frank Pitelka, a distinguished ornithologist, opera enthusiast, and foodie (he would frown on that term). Over the years, I’ve grown to appreciate Jacques Pépin more and more. His cooking demos on PBS and elsewhere are so much more appealing to me to the faux challenges and ‘throw downs’ of the celebrity chefs of today’s Food TV. I’m so glad he is still with us and still teaching us. And I’m still working to master his French omelette.
First, let's applaud Monsieur Pepin for not only always having a glass a wine handy but here having TWO. ... I've studied his videos for 10 years now to learn how to cook. I make a mean omelette because of his famous video. ... 13:16 "Everyone is the same in the eye of the stove" ... I highly recommend his early biography "The Apprentice" where he talks about starting at 11 years in a kitchen on a giant iron wood burning stove and only having 1 day a month off to go home to wash his clothes. ... Growing up in WWII in France, he knew the value of every ingredient and you see him to this day scrape every drop out of a bowl and value every morsel of food. He, with Julia Child, brought cooking to Americans and, even in the pandemic, responded with thoughtful recipes and taught us how to conserve but still create. He's lived through so much and still works hard and with a smile. Happy Cooking!
I shall share this and save this interview as one of my treasures. I too am a Pepin living in Edmond, Oklahoma. We are the same age and probably from the same ancestry. I cannot tell you how dear you are to me and how much I enjoy watching you cook and listening to you talk in this interview. My feelings and memories of long ago are the same. I totally agree “wonderful bread and butter cannot be beat as my favorite thing to eat”. God bless you and may we both have many more years you are a blessing to all of us Messr.

What I've learned most from Chef Pepin is not necessarily how to cook, although he is an incredible teacher, but how to enjoy and celebrate life. His enjoyment of cooking, his insistence of cooking with friends and family, and his unbridled enthusiasm for doing what he loves has been a tremendous inspiration.
I love that... "Everyone is the same in the eye of the stove". Chef Jacques Pépin is my all-time favorite Chef. His manner is so laid back & his years of experience show with everything he does. I love that he gives alternatives for ingredients & explains the reasons for using them. I have made tons of his recipes; they are not overly complicated, they don't take all day to prepare, & they taste/look divine. I didn't know that he made short videos for cooking during the Pandemic; I will have to look for them. Merci Beaucoup, Chef Pépin. It would be a great joy for me to be able to join you in the kitchen, sit down & eat the food we have made together, & listen to you tell stories about your life as a Chef. Please, Please, Please, Chef Pépin, if you see this, may I come to visit you in Connecticut; I'll bring your favorite wine.
Truly a great `gem’. I stumbled on this video and was hooked to watch to the finish. What a wonderful human being. Thanks to PBS for bringing him into our homes and lives over the years.
I love to watch and learn from Jacques Pepin. My husband has passed, but we watched his shows together. My husband went to Culinary school in Denver Colorado and was a cook in a steakhouse when we met. We also loved Julia Childs.
This is a hidden gem. I'm not from the North American (or South for that matter) continent, but I really appreciate the value of public broadcasting and its dedication to topics and people like Maestro Pepin.
I truly enjoyed this documentary it's very true & it's very special to know about Jacques & the history your family is truly great ... It was a honor to watch Jaques I have learned a lot & the foundation is wonderful
I enjoyed this so much. You are authentic and I find that more and more missing in American culture. We truly love you. Chef Pepin!! Thank you for everything.
I'm so grateful Chef! I've been cooking professionally for 37 years now and Everytime I watch a video of yours I still learn something. Thank you for everything 😊 God bless ❤️
So happy to see this! I just love this man, the shows with Julia, all the lessons, beautifully presented. He introduced his lovely wife and daughter on his shows. I've learned so much, and the few meals or dishes I've learned from Chef Jacques are on repeat. I probably should try a few more. He's a treasure.
Getting kids into the kitchen is the best way to get them to eat. They already have buy-in because they made it themselves. This was how I got my son to eat salads. He would help mix up the vinaigrette salad dressing. He would whisk it, first with the electric whisk - great fun for a little kid - then with the regular whisk. We would taste it together and it included Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar! My good friend would get her kids to eat "tasty leaves" (salad) and "trees" (broccoli). Our kids are now in college now and they're great eaters. My son is a decent cook as well.
Yep. Cooking should be an adventure & not a chore. When you get to pick what goes into your food & how it's prepared, it tastes so much better, AND to top it off, you get the closeness of family time.
They did an episode together where he showed her how to cut up & cook a whole side of meat. In the end, he turned to her & said, "you're not going to do this, are you"? Smiling sweetly, she shook her head & said, "no". I so pictured my Father & I interacting the same way. I smiled & then cried... my Father had already passed away.
😮 He mentioned the fridge soup! When i was a kid my mom would say for dinner tonite its "musgo soup" of course us kids would imediatley question this, only for her to reply everything in the fridge must go.So it went into a soup pot and Walla it was dinner.

America is lucky to have this man. There is really no words to explain how great he is.
87 years old. Wow. He looks great, and still full of energy. Cherish him while we have him.
Amen brother!
87 years young! 🤦♂️
(while we have him.) Weird focus!"
@@teleplace2639 He's 87 so he doesn't have many years left. Nothing wrong with saying enjoy him while he's still with us.
@@LinkRocks Maybe; But he might out-LIVE us!"
*WHO CAN SAY?"
Chef Jacques Pepin has forever influenced my life as it relates to preparing creative, quality meals!
I've watched a ton of cooking shows over five decades. Nobody- let me repeat- NOBODY handles a knife the way this man can. I agree that he is indeed the GOAT of the art of preparing food.
Jacques is an example of a happy man in his work and his life.
This man is a national treasure. I recommend reading his autobiography.
The world is better with Jacque Pepin in it. I have made numerous recipes that I’ve seen on RUclips. Always delicious always a joy knowing this man taught me how to make it.
PBS is wonderful, M.Pepin is superb.
Merci chef from Québec!
This man has to be the most beloved man in cooking.
he's one of the few celebs out there that are role models for me.
Pain au beurre as his favorite meal, he is the greatest. Really appreciates life and gives that radiance out to the audience. God bless him and his family.
He is so naturally charming. It's refreshing.
Fantastic conversation. Thank you for this.

I feel lucky he lives at the same time I have.
Love him

Legend
one of my favorite chefs, so great to see him enjoying life and still cooking at 87 years young!
I'm so thankful for this very current interview with the warm hearted Jacques Pepin. Thankful for RUclips.
Jacques Pepin has been my culinary hero and most of what I cook is inspired by his teachings. It would be an honor to meet this man someday.
What I've learned most from Chef Pepin is not necessarily how to cook, although he is an incredible teacher, but how to enjoy and celebrate life. His enjoyment of cooking, his insistence of cooking with friends and family, and his unbridled enthusiasm for doing what he loves has been a tremendous inspiration.
I love that... "Everyone is the same in the eye of the stove".

Merci Beaucoup, Chef Pépin.
It would be a great joy for me to be able to join you in the kitchen, sit down & eat the food we have made together, & listen to you tell stories about your life as a Chef. Please, Please, Please, Chef Pépin, if you see this, may I come to visit you in Connecticut; I'll bring your favorite wine.
Quel maitre! Merci pour tous les cadeaux!
Meet? He’s been an integral part of our lives from the start.
He is so mentally acute! Absolutely no hesitation in his speech.
Jaques, Julia, and my parents got me interested in cooking.
Truly a great `gem’. I stumbled on this video and was hooked to watch to the finish. What a wonderful human being. Thanks to PBS for bringing him into our homes and lives over the years.
I love to watch and learn from Jacques Pepin. My husband has passed, but we watched his shows together. My husband went to Culinary school in Denver Colorado and was a cook in a steakhouse when we met. We also loved Julia Childs.

Master Chef Pepin, living legend and a true inspiration to so many of us. Love this man!
I truly enjoyed this documentary it's very true & it's very special to know about Jacques & the history your family is truly great ... It was a honor to watch Jaques I have learned a lot & the foundation is wonderful
I enjoyed this so much. You are authentic and I find that more and more missing in American culture. We truly love you. Chef Pepin!! Thank you for everything.
Thank you for all you've shared Mr. Pepin. You've been a gift.
A true legend. I have his cookbooks on my shelf and his art prints hanging on my wall.
Are your prints some of Chef Pépin's menus? He showed some of them on one of his TV specials. They were gorgeous. Talk about attention to detail.
I'm so grateful Chef!
I've been cooking professionally for 37 years now and Everytime I watch a video of yours I still learn something. Thank you for everything 😊 God bless ❤️
I loved this video.We admire you and love you.God Bless You Chef Jacques Pépin.
So happy to see this! I just love this man, the shows with Julia, all the lessons, beautifully presented. He introduced his lovely wife and daughter on his shows. I've learned so much, and the few meals or dishes I've learned from Chef Jacques are on repeat. I probably should try a few more. He's a treasure.
He's a genius. I love his French accent. Brigitte Bardot has the same accent. I love it.
Getting kids into the kitchen is the best way to get them to eat. They already have buy-in because they made it themselves. This was how I got my son to eat salads. He would help mix up the vinaigrette salad dressing. He would whisk it, first with the electric whisk - great fun for a little kid - then with the regular whisk.

❤he’s precious luv his Personality and French target and who’s cooking and his Waze he’s wonderful.👏👏👏❤️🩹
The best!!
Toujours un plaisir de vous voir Monsieur Pépin.
KQED has been posting some of your older programs where Claudine was back from College, your interactions were very charming.
They did an episode together where he showed her how to cut up & cook a whole side of meat. In the end, he turned to her & said, "you're not going to do this, are you"? Smiling sweetly, she shook her head & said, "no". I so pictured my Father & I interacting the same way. I smiled & then cried... my Father had already passed away.
😮 He mentioned the fridge soup! When i was a kid my mom would say for dinner tonite its "musgo soup" of course us kids would imediatley question this, only for her to reply everything in the fridge must go.So it went into a soup pot and Walla it was dinner.
The Master of masters!
Jacques Pepin DOES look fantastic -- for his age! He's great. Really.😊
King, pimp, legend
This man has forgotten more about cooking than most of us will ever know.
I would be an American tomorrow if it were possible. This is one of the reasons why.
Hey Gordon Ramsay….
Watch and learn.
Jesus is the way, the truth, the life.
Jacques is the G.O.A.T.
I used to look forward to new albums; now I wait, with the same anticipation, for the next Jacques Pépin video.
