His knifework. So beautiful.

[@ve2166]

The knife skills though!

[@michaelc6680]

Aren’t they? I could spend an hour crushing garlic and it is never a purée like he makes.

[@theicyridge]

I've been vegan for 2 years and still scour JP for his veg recipes. What a treat to have a meatless menu!

[@xjAlbert]

Thank you, KQED, for producing this series with Jacques in the early 1990s. I am grateful you have made them available here on RUclips ʕ•́؈•̀ʔ

“I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know!” God I love Jacques Pépin 😂👍🏻

[@daphnepearce9411]

I love these meatless menus. The older I get the less interested I am in eating red meat. I think this also makes a simple yet wonderful summer meal.

[@TWOCOWS1]

Meat was for the rich and the herding nomads, NOT for average people and farmers. Nearly everything was vegetarian or vegan. It is a new thing to add meat to everything. Look at the italian or middle eastern, indian, chinese.... and realize how fantastic their non-meat menu is. No, NO TOFU!

[@kqed]

So true

[@pvoshefski]

Thank you Jacques!

[@Kingfisher1215]

Jacques, you may trust yourself with picking wild mushrooms but not me. I will purchase mine.

[@-gina1114]

[@davidbrothers3788]

Man id love to have his knife skills you can slice and dice about anything

[@sakaridis]

From three garlic cloves to garlic puree in 15 seconds... Damn!

[@user-du2cj3dr4o]

You are such an incredible chef. Thank you for plant-based! Please share more plant-based with us vegans!

[@MeatyController]

Jacques always with his warm vibes. Everyone should have a Jacques Pepin in their lives lol

[@karenwoodruff3533]

Jacques is my ‘go to’ chef for something fresh & exciting! I love to watch him cook! I tried this red pepper sauce linguine dish & used roasted garlic in it, my husband & I REALY LOVED IT!!!
Thanks for this wonderful dish!!!

[@pietbandiet5833]

Superb 🎉

[@quitsevensix]

WOW that looks like an absolute master dinner ❤️

[@erizabeta]

Yum

❤❤❤❤

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

Listen to Jacques grandma! There's all sorts of great health benefits from drinking tea as medicine. I have a fantastic anti-inflammatory/deep sleep blend. It has hemp, moringa, thai basil, goji berries and turmeric in it. It's fantastic.

[@urbanviii5103]

If the exposed pie dough cooks for an hour, won't it be burned or black? Or worse?

[@barney6888]

Too bad there's only enough for me.

[@lexurt6429]

not according to Italian tradition!!!!but in French with an Italian flavor

[@shamdoran5547]

"Plant-Based" (50 seconds in, he's already using butter 🤣)

[@kishouarima3730]

Butter is the cornerstone of French cuisine. Rich and delicious

[@patrickevans3797]

Cows eat grass, they transform grass into milk, milk becomes butter, is there meat in butter

[@kishouarima3730]

@@patrickevans3797 if we break it down to bare chemicals all foods in existence contain the same chemicals as plants and animals. Most meats have iron and magnesium and so does spinach. So if you really think about it they are all the same at their base chemicals it's just a matter of perspective.

[@theodore6548]

You seem not to understand the term. "Plant-based" does not mean vegan. The menu is absolutely plant-based.

Hey Peter....maybe you are referring to his late wife??
Cause this still handsome Frenchman isn't leaving Earth for many years. I HOPE & PRAY. 🙏

[@mr.zardoz3344]

I resent the plant-based label. All food is plant based.

This dude really trying to mess with Italians 🤌 at least the apple thing was good
