I love how quickly this went from being a host with a guest, to a master chef showing off his skills and a guy with a big beaming smile in total admiration.
This kid starts off super confident and you just watch his face become more and more impressed until he finishes beautifully humble - the Jacques Pepin effect.
I have never seen a technique like at 23:59 before. His technique is much easier and faster as well. I'll definitely be using it when making mince garlic and herbs from now on!
I know, I found it kind of irritating at first, but eventually he realized that he does not need to get in the way of Jacques Pepin, lol. Get outta the way.
A wonderful thing about Jacques Pépin when he teaches, is that when the other person says "I do it this way," Jacques never says that it's no good. He recognizes that there is more than one way to do things.
He always diplomatic. It's impressive really. With that said, I really needed the host to either wet his towel more, or have the plastic thing that goes under the board so they don't move. I personally just use scraps of non-adhesive grip shelf liner. You can get it at any general merchandise retailer (Target, Walmart, etc.) in the kitchen section. Those work the best, IMO.
I always like Jacques because he seems like a regular person. He does not act like an arrogant celebrity chef even though his name is known worldwide. He has accomplished more than most men ever will, but he still just keeps everything simple and down to earth. He doesn't add pretentious flares to his food. He is always relatable to his audience, no matter what their skill level.
Props to Josh for standing next to such a master (takes guts!) and quickly falling into learning mode while managing his awe, Jacques is the ultimate teacher!
So good to see Jacques Pepin again. I watched his PBS show religiously for many years. And now he is helping those who are in need. I thank you so much.
Absolutely adore Chef Pepin! So skillful, knowledgeable and passionate about food, so frugal, not wasting any little scrap, such a kind, wonderful teacher, and just such a lovely, gracious, gentle person. Thank you, Chef, for all you've taught me over the years of watching you!
As a professional cook, I still haven't seen anyone with half the skills and techniques as Chef Jacques. It's just years and years and years and years of practice and repetition. I bet just about anyone will be trying to impress a legend if they could cook right next to him. But what a great video and for making it
Wow. This man is a freaking legend. We had to study him in culinary school. The grandmaster of culinary. I honestly had no idea he was still alive. I don't feel worthy.
It has become clear to me Jacques has more knowledge in his brain than he is able to impart in these short videos. What a gem, a master, a true artist.
People must remember that Jacques skills were born in a restaurant where speed was required. His comment about the amount of potatoes he could peel reflects this. Don't be discouraged if you never become lightning quick like Jacques. He had to be quick or find another job!
ChefJacques makes it look easy! Knife skills will help you get a job in a kitchen.. when I was a young cook I practiced day after day till I was comfortable with my cuts. Now that I'm a older chef I am glad I practiced as much as I did when I was younger!! Thanks Chef for all you have done for us!
Young guy keeps bringing up stuff he learned in culinary school and Jacques is like ”um, ya...sure?”. He has so much experience he has surpassed traditional technique and knows what works, especially for him. He has mastered his own technique.
Interesting you say that~ I was thinking the same exact thing! Chef Pepin was incredibly gracious & unpretentious-- but let's face it, without meaning to, he schooled the kid. Young Chef Josh got more humble & respectful as the tutorial went on, and I was glad to see it. Mssr Pepin is a living legend; it is an incredible honor to have the opportunity to learn from him. Some day Josh will realize what a privilege he had in this video. :) Meanwhile I'm knocked out by the elder Chef's amazing skills, perfected over a lifetime. THANK YOU for this wonderful video, which I've saved so I can watch again later. :)
joe jitsu oh, yes, of course. I am aware of the ignorance and arrogance of the average young person (under 30, and sometimes even over 30) of today. They think they have nothing to learn from anyone and that everything is better today. I.E. no reason to listen to someone from the past.
The way the host Josh handled the show was amazing... you can see he is really interested in everything Mr. Jacques Pepin had to impart. and how much respect he has for Mr. Pepin. He also manages to establish carry on a light banter with his guest
Kid: I can't do it quite as fast as you. Master: It's alright ... because you don't drink enough of wine! Probably the best mentoring advice of this video.
Just remember though: The amount of wine you consume is inversely proportionate to the number of fingers you (are forced to) learn to use! In other words, the more wine you consume, the fewer fingers you get to use! :-))
I started watching random Jacques vids today, many of which I've already seen, never thinking I'd learn something new. I've been a chef for 25 yrs...and never have I seen the mock cherry tomato technique until just now. This is one of the numerous reasons why I enjoy watching him as much as I do. No regard to how long you've been doing anything, there's always something new to learn and discover.
I find it amazing that Jacques Pépin is such a master, yet so humble, humorous, and relaxed as he teaches. Besides watching him to learn, I watch him to chill when I'm stressed out. Finger cuts are no fun, and take time to heal, and after dinging myself a few times, which since I'm a piano player is even less fun, I came across another Jacques Pépin video explaining basic knife skills, and (knock wood) I haven't cut myself since. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Pépin!
I love how respectful Josh was. He’s leading into each section, as that’s his job - and he’s setting the context (ie what the technique is called at culinary school, and why they are taught it) - but then every time, is asking Pepin how he would do it, and any other hints or tips - then he’s watching, listening and smiling, as he knows this guy is the master. A terrific clip. I’m going to save and return to this over and over....
I'm so impressed. He did every vegetable different to everyone I've ever seen. It's like he's studied every miniscule movement for the best possible way to do EVERYTHING.
12:13 "the old school garnish right there"...this is my first time watching this video. it's so good that i keep stopping it, just to prolong the pleasure. great stuff, on more than one level.
Jacques Pepin, the Perfect example of why being classically trained in French Cooking or other types of culinary disciplines leads to mastery in the kitchen.
Jacques Pépin’s passion and fire for cooking is wonderful, more like a calm campfire than an inferno. He’s absolutely the best, no question. 83 and not even one iota less energetic when speaking about food than thirty years ago.
I love it! At 23:27 this guy is blushing and totally geeking out on Jacques Pepin! I would be too! What a great experience to have! Treasure it always! Learning from the Master.
Chef Jacques is a masterful, teacher. He's extremely detailed in his teaching which taught me how to navigate my way in the kitchen. Since I can't have you personally in my kitchen, I definitely have a quick reference guide via RUclips right at my fingertips. Thanks to the host for presenting this video with us it's greatly appreciated. I appreciate all your teachings Chef Jacques. Thanks for your graciousness.🙏🏻
Over 45 years ago I learned everything I know about the "process" of cooking from watching Master Pepin, I learned about so many other aspects of cooking from others, but without his superb instruction and love for the elegance and precision to the basics I would have never grew to love and master the art of cooking that I enjoy to this day at 61. He is truly the master and unquestionably the grandest gentleman of the kitchen that ever lived. You are so lucky to have the opportunity to have been in his company. Thanks for sharing this lovely program.
I think he wanted to pay attention and did not want to stop the flow of the video to get another peeler. I found it quite respectful. I noticed it too though.
I have watched Jacques for many years. I have never tired of his mastery of the kitchen and his great sense of humor. He has taught me so much. Him and Julia "Let's have a glass of wine." That is what I learned first.
Josh, this was super brave. I can't imagine doing ANYTHING next to a 70 year master of an art form let alone cooking where everyone thinks they are a contender for best of the year. ;) The hat is off to you good sir. this was really fun to watch.
omg, so many reasons to love this. but really where the joy is-is in seeing josh's eyes light up by being in the presence of a great master chef. thank you both. et bon appetit!
From a quick run through, what I like about this video is that Pepin goes through all of the essential knife skills and techniques that he knows. A lot of the other videos of him online are just of him cutting one or two pieces of produce. This demonstration reminds me of what I used to see on his PBS shows growing up. Thanks for providing the content Food52.
Jacques Pepin has been one of my heroes from my teens and that was what drew my attention to this video. Josh clearly has some skills and knowledge and I very much appreciate his abilities. I learned these same or similar techniques from my stepfather when I was a child and watching this video took me back to those days. Lucciano told me that no matter what you do, "do your best when you start, and then do better the next time". He followed that with "and when you feel like you have mastered something...find the real master and start over". Josh, and Jacques have demonstrated my stepfather's advice perfectly here. Thank you gentlemen.
Chef Pepin's knife skills are on a whole nother level. I have been cooking in restaurants & still have not seen this kind of skill up close. Respect Chef.
Getting a one-on-one 30 minute lesson in knife skills from Jacques Pepin is something we can all only dream about. Every time Chef Pepin opens his mouth, we learn something. And he handles this kid well, does not talk down to him...but it's very clear who is in charge here!
I love Jacques Pepin, I watched his cook show almost every day, beside a few others anything he has to offer in the culinary feel I take truely to heart.
I still remember a PBS show where JP states that if you keep your knives sharp, if you cut yourself it heals quickly (and ended with a sly smile). Tip: Silipat mats under the board are a great stabilizer. Such a great video. Nothing more inspiring than watching masters of their craft. JP's charm, gentle instruction, consummate skills shared generously with great humor has helped so many of us home chef's tackle anything in the kitchen intrepidly. Thank you for producing this wonderful video.---and the real plum....the Jaques Pepin Foundation to teach culinary and life skills to those in need....
83 vs probably 33 if I had to guess...50 years his senior I’d expect Jacques to have a few skills to teach him. I’ve been watching JP for 35 years...he’s one of the best right up there with Julia. Kid had a valuable opportunity to hang out and spend some time in the kitchen.
This shows the greatness of a true master. The man you are calling a kid is a test kitchen professional. Meaning he knows his stuff. He's very good. The fact that he was taught new techniques from Jacques, shows how great Jacques Pepin really is.
@@kenspence2802 Compared to Chef JP, he is still kid regardless of his accomplishments. Compared to a 60-year-old he’s a kid and the Chef is over 20 years older than that, and still working.
Jacques Pepin thank you sir for such competence, confidence, and kindness, Chef! Thank you even more for your beautiful success as a human being! You have fed us for decades with your skill set. I wish you many more years of guiding us with your humanity.
Although I have never met him, more than any one person in my twenty year career as a professional chef, Jacque Pepin taught me the most about basic skills and technique - the best chefs that I worked with were, at heart, teachers and mentors - Jacque embodies this spirit more than any !
I learned how to cook and how to use a knife about 25 years ago and in no small part from Chef Pepin. I used to record his shows starting with "Cooking Techniques" and I'd watch it over and over to pick up every technique. It's difficult to think of anything else that's improved our lives more than learning how to cook really well from scratch. What a lucky kid, to learn from not only a true master, but an international treasure.
The best knife-skills tutorial I’ve ever seen! How cool it is to watch such a seasoned expert - a real artist with food, and such a charmer too! The knife is an extension of his hand. Nice to know that I have been doing at least some of these techniques correctly - now I can refine the rest! Over the years I have bought any number of fancy chopping gadgets and one by one they have gone to charity shops etc., and I always end up turning to my knives and a chopping board. With the right technique, you can do absolutely anything with a good sharp knife. I’m just a humble home cook but I love to learn how to do things correctly.
Why the need of people to be negative. Just watch an learn is the point; enjoy an excellent video. I'm really looking forward to improve my skills. Thank you JP!
Mr Jaques Penin, never saw you before but just this 32 mins video make me realize what a great-great master you're. Cooking, know how and personality. Chapeau!
I’m a first time viewer and new subscriber. I have always loved Chef Pepin. This video was so endearing and Josh was a great sport, and a class act, and knew just when to step back and let the master shine.
I see people dissing Josh, but I think that it's still his show and Jacques is still a guest. People will say "shut up punk and let the master talk," and I do think our host talks a lot, but Jacques' humility is always present, especially if/when he is on someone else's show. Again, Josh is talking a lot, especially when the man teaching everyone isn't on the show as much as the dude we see every episode, but Josh is helping to have structure in the show, because it's still his show.
Just started this video and I love one of the first moments. Josh shows how he was taught to hold a knife, and asks Jacques if that is how he does it? Jacques says, "Well, I don't know" then tests himself. "I guess I do." Love that! One of the definitions of mastery is when you do what you do so naturally you don't think about it and aren't really aware of how you do it - just what you are achieving. Think of driving. Its like that.

Love his smile
For real, I smiled through the whole video because he is so skilled and a great teacher haha
yeah he started doing a show, but ended up getting a 1 on 1 masterclass by one of the goats...
Indeed because in the beginning the guy was talking way too much.
Jacques Pepin is a great teacher, so skilled and not at all pretentious. Big love!!
So glad you enjoyed Jacques' tutorial, Lynda!

Too bad his son isn't the same. Was a complete jerk to the young man in the video.

Spot on comment
Nonsense, that "kid" was in awe, and studious, the whole time.
@@marjrosen1295 the (kid) was fine. Jaques is A teacher, he teaches.
A wonderful thing about Jacques Pépin when he teaches, is that when the other person says "I do it this way," Jacques never says that it's no good. He recognizes that there is more than one way to do things.
You can go back 30 years and watch him do exactly the same.
Again, there is no recipe. It’s your choice
Exactly,
He always diplomatic. It's impressive really. With that said, I really needed the host to either wet his towel more, or have the plastic thing that goes under the board so they don't move. I personally just use scraps of non-adhesive grip shelf liner. You can get it at any general merchandise retailer (Target, Walmart, etc.) in the kitchen section. Those work the best, IMO.
He also knows better and can teach you to a better approach, easily.
I always like Jacques because he seems like a regular person. He does not act like an arrogant celebrity chef even though his name is known worldwide. He has accomplished more than most men ever will, but he still just keeps everything simple and down to earth. He doesn't add pretentious flares to his food. He is always relatable to his audience, no matter what their skill level.
Mastery at work- Jacques is the GOAT, who can show you how to cook it four ways- just amazing to see the elegance of mastery. Maximum respect Jacques!
Props to Josh for standing next to such a master (takes guts!) and quickly falling into learning mode while managing his awe, Jacques is the ultimate teacher!
What a kind man! And a fantastic teacher! He is so patient. 84 years old!
So good to see Jacques Pepin again. I watched his PBS show religiously for many years. And now he is helping those who are in need. I thank you so much.
He was my dean at the French Culinary Institute. Words cannot describe how much I love this man.
How blessed you were! He's a true mensch
It's wonderful to see Jaques Pepin still making videos. He is a human mandolin! A true master.
There's nothing greater. Then watching a master at work. And it's awesome to see that he wants to share his knowledge with all of us.
So glad you enjoyed watching, Nathan!
Absolutely adore Chef Pepin! So skillful, knowledgeable and passionate about food, so frugal, not wasting any little scrap, such a kind, wonderful teacher, and just such a lovely, gracious, gentle person. Thank you, Chef, for all you've taught me over the years of watching you!
So glad you enjoyed watching, Stephanie!

Glad you enjoyed watching, Cheah!
You should try finding Pepin's video on deboning a chicken whole
ruclips.net/video/nfY0lrdXar8/видео.html
I agree with this statement wholeheartedly.
He makes it look so easy 😵
Cooking for 70 years already and still as deft and effortless with a blade as ever! Jaques Pepin is a culinary ROCK STAR!!!
Jacques Pepin is an absolute treasure! His passion and playfulness come right through the screen.
Wow. This man is a freaking legend. We had to study him in culinary school. The grandmaster of culinary. I honestly had no idea he was still alive. I don't feel worthy.
It has become clear to me Jacques has more knowledge in his brain than he is able to impart
in these short videos. What a gem, a master, a true artist.
You know it's a legit chef when he's this enthusiastic about a tomato. This man is the kitchen's GOAT.
My no.1 professional Chef has always been Jacque Pepin. Glad to see you, Chef! Long life!
Glad you enjoyed Jacques' tutorial, Lilmini!
People must remember that Jacques skills were born in a restaurant where speed was required. His comment about the amount of potatoes he could peel reflects this. Don't be discouraged if you never become lightning quick like Jacques. He had to be quick or find another job!
ChefJacques makes it look easy! Knife skills will help you get a job in a kitchen.. when I was a young cook I practiced day after day till I was comfortable with my cuts.
Now that I'm a older chef I am glad I practiced as much as I did when I was younger!! Thanks Chef for all you have done for us!
Young guy keeps bringing up stuff he learned in culinary school and Jacques is like ”um, ya...sure?”. He has so much experience he has surpassed traditional technique and knows what works, especially for him. He has mastered his own technique.
Cringe worthy.
Artful Dodger he’s kinda right tho.
Ever work with an intern who thought they were going to take over your job and skip 25 years of learning?
I thought he was just trying to give the technical name to a process, I didnt really think he was saying any technique was better
Interesting you say that~ I was thinking the same exact thing! Chef Pepin was incredibly gracious & unpretentious-- but let's face it, without meaning to, he schooled the kid. Young Chef Josh got more humble & respectful as the tutorial went on, and I was glad to see it. Mssr Pepin is a living legend; it is an incredible honor to have the opportunity to learn from him.

THANK YOU for this wonderful video, which I've saved so I can watch again later. :)
I lost track of how many “hold my beer” moments Chef had in this video 😂
Randall Spaulding He is amazing and so fluid with his actions
More like hold my wine.
Randall Spaulding yeah. He is the boss! Anyone could learn a thing or two from him ... anyone!
joe jitsu Are you making the claim they best Jacques Pepin?!
joe jitsu oh, yes, of course. I am aware of the ignorance and arrogance of the average young person (under 30, and sometimes even over 30) of today. They think they have nothing to learn from anyone and that everything is better today. I.E. no reason to listen to someone from the past.
This is literally free culinary school. Informative, clear instruction.
The way the host Josh handled the show was amazing... you can see he is really interested in everything Mr. Jacques Pepin had to impart. and how much respect he has for Mr. Pepin. He also manages to establish carry on a light banter with his guest
Kid: I can't do it quite as fast as you.
Master: It's alright ... because you don't drink enough of wine!
Probably the best mentoring advice of this video.
Ha!
Very well said!!
Julia Child would concur!
Julia Child and Chef made a good pair, didn't they? She always talked about cooking while drinking.
Just remember though: The amount of wine you consume is inversely proportionate to the number of fingers you (are forced to) learn to use! In other words, the more wine you consume, the fewer fingers you get to use! :-))
I started watching random Jacques vids today, many of which I've already seen, never thinking I'd learn something new.

I normally avoid channels like this for cooking related stuff, but Jacques has such a captivating persona I ended up watching the whole thing.
What do you tend to watch instead ? I’m new to this and I’d love some input on good Channels to follow
I find it amazing that Jacques Pépin is such a master, yet so humble, humorous, and relaxed as he teaches. Besides watching him to learn, I watch him to chill when I'm stressed out.

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Pépin!
Chef Pepin is a true artist. Have been watching him cook for many years. Always amazed with his skills and enthusiasm. Thanks chef.
I don't know if I've ever seen a man so inspire joy in others as Monsieur Pepin.
We agree :)
Pepin is a true master. I learned so much from watching his PBS shows.
Me, too.
i’ve been trying to master the rocking knife technique for years now, and after seeing
Jacques do it i finally get it and can do it well. hell yes.
Rolla Dean any tips?
That "simple" adjustment of the placement of both hands tremendously changes the action of the knife. This is an eye opener for me.
Coen M huh...
What a treat. I've been watching Master Chef Pepin for decades. He never disappoints
So glad you enjoyed this episode of "Dear Test Kitchen!"
LEGEND in his own class, even when you have made these cuts a million times, still awing to watch his smoothness and precision.
Glad you enjoyed watching!
"When 84 years old you reach, cut this good you will not"
Jacques Pepin is Yoda
I love how respectful Josh was. He’s leading into each section, as that’s his job - and he’s setting the context (ie what the technique is called at culinary school, and why they are taught it) - but then every time, is asking Pepin how he would do it, and any other hints or tips - then he’s watching, listening and smiling, as he knows this guy is the master.

What an honor to get a master class from the legend. Happy cooking!
Jacques Pepin, the Perfect example of why being classically trained in French Cooking or other types of culinary disciplines leads to mastery in the kitchen.
I hope I'm still as active and healthy at age 83 as this man. Amazing.
+mike P
Amen!
Have enjoyed watching this brilliant man for decades.
What? That man is 83 :O ?
Drink plenty enough wine 🙃
And almost died in a very serious car crash in NY in the 70's or so.
Pepin is the man.
@@maddierosemusic he,sadly,was the man.
I would watch this again and again. What a fabulous teacher. What a national treasure.
A world treasure

Jacques: "The first thing is that you peel that cucumber."
Josh: *does not peel cucumber*
think josh is feeling a bit intimidated
6:30 Jacques: “Then you cut it in half…”
Josh: watches him cut it in half and still cuts it the wrong way.
I think he wanted to pay attention and did not want to stop the flow of the video to get another peeler. I found it quite respectful. I noticed it too though.
I also did not see a peeler in front of Josh, don’t be so hard on the kid. He was a good foil for the master
I noticed it like he wanted but JHack was to fast for him. He did try to keep on track in the next segments....
I have watched Jacques for many years. I have never tired of his mastery of the kitchen and his great sense of humor. He has taught me so much. Him and Julia "Let's have a glass of wine." That is what I learned first.

Chef Pepin has so much knowledge and skill and yet so casual about showing it and teaching it. Seems like a great guy.
that was fuggin tomato magic....holy crap. worth that segment alone!
That little trick with making the cherry tomato was awesome. Never seen that before!
@@HardwareLust Brilliant. And that little flower, in seconds. It would take me half and hour and it would look ridiculous.
Yes! I’m making cherry tomatoes today! I might even make some ‘old school’ rosettes
Jacques is the man! Who else can teach an experienced chef new knife skills tips and tricks? Such a legend.
Love this man! Wish Julia was still with us when they cooked together it was magic, learned so much from them both.
brandon lantier she would be 200 yrs old.
They're my favorite as well. Such class they both had.

omg, so many reasons to love this. but really where the joy is-is in seeing josh's eyes light up by being in the presence of a great master chef. thank you both. et bon appetit!

old french chefs fill me with such childlike wonder and fascination. i want to be a chef, mom!
Jacques Pepin is my favorite chef. The more you see him do, the more you love him. And he STILL loves to cook. xoxo
I would LOVE to learn EVERYTHING i could from this man . It was so smooth and refined from years of use. I would BEG for every scrap of his knowledge
Older knowledgable people that are willing to share life skills are awesome and so intersting. Thank you.
I LOVE seeing the close shots of Jacques' hands. A true master and a wonderful intimate glimpse into what 70 years of artistry will produce.

Chef Pepin's knife skills are on a whole nother level. I have been cooking in restaurants & still have not seen this kind of skill up close. Respect Chef.
Josh's eyes as Jacques was talking with the knife. The benefits of growing up in a French home is you become very used to this sort of thing.
Getting a one-on-one 30 minute lesson in knife skills from Jacques Pepin is something we can all only dream about. Every time Chef Pepin opens his mouth, we learn something. And he handles this kid well, does not talk down to him...but it's very clear who is in charge here!
There are not enough hours for Jacques to teach all he knows. He is brilliant in the kitchen...
I never get tired of watching Jacques..so humble, excellent teacher, great technique.
Glad you enjoyed watching!
I love how he just casually does all these and I am just sitting here feeling "Wow!". Humbly impressive!
I love Jacques Pepin, I watched his cook show almost every day, beside a few others anything he has to offer in the culinary feel I take truely to heart.
A chef's chef; absolutely love Jacques Pepin! Thank you for this wonderful video!
So glad you enjoyed Jacques' tutorial, Cynthia!
Best chef on the planet 🌎
I've been chopping onions for 20 years and I still learned something new. What a great teacher!
Jacques Pepin is LIFE!! He deserves a cooking award named for him!!
I still remember a PBS show where JP states that if you keep your knives sharp, if you cut yourself it heals quickly (and ended with a sly smile). Tip: Silipat mats under the board are a great stabilizer. Such a great video. Nothing more inspiring than watching masters of their craft. JP's charm, gentle instruction, consummate skills shared generously with great humor has helped so many of us home chef's tackle anything in the kitchen intrepidly. Thank you for producing this wonderful video.---and the real plum....the Jaques Pepin Foundation to teach culinary and life skills to those in need....
I've been learning from Jacques for 30 years. Thank you.
Josh is a very lucky man to share some time with a living legend. I would be honoured to meet Jacques Pépin, love him to bits!!!
I thought the kid did fine, he’s obviously doing the best he can and is handling getting schooled with grace.
83 vs probably 33 if I had to guess...50 years his senior I’d expect Jacques to have a few skills to teach him. I’ve been watching JP for 35 years...he’s one of the best right up there with Julia. Kid had a valuable opportunity to hang out and spend some time in the kitchen.
This shows the greatness of a true master. The man you are calling a kid is a test kitchen professional. Meaning he knows his stuff. He's very good. The fact that he was taught new techniques from Jacques, shows how great Jacques Pepin really is.
As well he should.
@@kenspence2802 Compared to Chef JP, he is still kid regardless of his accomplishments. Compared to a 60-year-old he’s a kid and the Chef is over 20 years older than that, and still working.
Jacques Pepin thank you sir for such competence, confidence, and kindness, Chef! Thank you even more for your beautiful success as a human being! You have fed us for decades with your skill set. I wish you many more years of guiding us with your humanity.
I love you Monsieur Pepin, you are the reason I fell in love with cooking! A true master of the art. Xoxo
Glad you enjoyed Jacques' tutorial, Praxilla!
Although I have never met him, more than any one person in my twenty year career as a professional chef, Jacque Pepin taught me the most about basic skills and technique - the best chefs that I worked with were, at heart, teachers and mentors - Jacque embodies this spirit more than any !
Thanks Jacques. You are an international treasure!
I learned how to cook and how to use a knife about 25 years ago and in no small part from Chef Pepin. I used to record his shows starting with "Cooking Techniques" and I'd watch it over and over to pick up every technique. It's difficult to think of anything else that's improved our lives more than learning how to cook really well from scratch. What a lucky kid, to learn from not only a true master, but an international treasure.
The best knife-skills tutorial I’ve ever seen! How cool it is to watch such a seasoned expert - a real artist with food, and such a charmer too! The knife is an extension of his hand. Nice to know that I have been doing at least some of these techniques correctly - now I can refine the rest! Over the years I have bought any number of fancy chopping gadgets and one by one they have gone to charity shops etc., and I always end up turning to my knives and a chopping board. With the right technique, you can do absolutely anything with a good sharp knife. I’m just a humble home cook but I love to learn how to do things correctly.
I just love Jacques! He is so genuine... love watching Josh learning from this humble master.
Why the need of people to be negative. Just watch an learn is the point; enjoy an excellent video. I'm really looking forward to improve my skills. Thank you JP!
King Jacques Pepin! The Maestro who is the master teacher. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
He said he's been cooking for 70yrs!! OG Chef!
Mr Jaques Penin, never saw you before but just this 32 mins video make me realize what a great-great master you're. Cooking, know how and personality. Chapeau!
Glad you enjoyed Jacques' tutorial, Beltran!
I’m a first time viewer and new subscriber. I have always loved Chef Pepin. This video was so endearing and Josh was a great sport, and a class act, and knew just when to step back and let the master shine.
Hi Cali, welcome to our channel -- so glad you're enjoying our videos!
And it's so nice to see and rare to see a chef happy
I see people dissing Josh, but I think that it's still his show and Jacques is still a guest. People will say "shut up punk and let the master talk," and I do think our host talks a lot, but Jacques' humility is always present, especially if/when he is on someone else's show. Again, Josh is talking a lot, especially when the man teaching everyone isn't on the show as much as the dude we see every episode, but Josh is helping to have structure in the show, because it's still his show.
Г-н Жак Пепин страхотно обучително видео за хора които искат да научат нещо . Благодаря ви 🙏.
I love this episode. The youngun was so confident and full of himself at the beginning. He eventually stopped, watched and tried to learn. Awesome.
Lol I think his eyes were also starting to water from the onions, I know mine always do 😂
I have admired his hands for years. I could watch & listen to him all day.
Glad you enjoyed watching Jacques, Jo!
Just started this video and I love one of the first moments. Josh shows how he was taught to hold a knife, and asks Jacques if that is how he does it? Jacques says, "Well, I don't know" then tests himself. "I guess I do." Love that! One of the definitions of mastery is when you do what you do so naturally you don't think about it and aren't really aware of how you do it - just what you are achieving. Think of driving. Its like that.
Glad you enjoyed watching, Julie!
What a treasure Jacques Pepin is! He is a pleasure to learn from and watch his incredible skills.
