    I discovered Jacque pepin a few days back, in these few days I have fallen in love with the man. Not only he's a magnanimous cook and great teacher who makes everything look so simple, but he is also a very fine human with a humble personality. I have never resonated with a person this much in such a little time. And I think everyone in the comments section have a similar experience. I wish him all good health and happiness that the world has to offer. I wish he lives a long life. Also sadly, his wife passed away a few months back, probably because of which he isn't uploading videos for a few months. I pray he gets through the great loss and I believe his wife would be smiling seeing so many people love her husband for the man he is. I really hope nothing but happiness for the man and his family. ❤️
