    I love how Jacques Pépin shows us dishes and techniques he served President De Gaulle and Eisenhower to just something cheap and easy. I cannot imagine a more humble chef. There is no pretentiousness about canned chicken or microwave which some modern chefs would openly mock and humiliate. Good food belongs to everyone, rich or poor!

      Did you see the video where he makes a spread from all the left over cheese in his fridge? He throws a dozen different fancy cheeses in it and at the end he unwraps a slice of American cheese and throws it in with the roquefort, gruyere, etc. Jacques is many things but pretentious is not one of them.

    Jacques it would be understatement to say you didn’t change my life in a big way really. I stumbled on your videos a couple years ago by accident and I found them calming like Bob Ross paint videos and through time I noticed one strange thing about them, you don’t cook anything by recipes; you just open the fridge and make great meals which I start mimicking. now thanks to you not I only don’t go to fast food restaurants I enjoy cooking great meals and live a healthy life style. Love you and wish you many more happy cooking years

    The market had canned chicken on sale so I bought 6 cans. I love lentil dishes (and garlic) so I think I'll make this recipe, but I'll substitute the corn for either brown rice or pasta shells. The recipe can easily feed 6 persons especially if you have a dinner salad with it. I so love Jacques Pepin's approach to cooking. He makes every dish a masterpiece even if it's a budget meal.

    • @charleslayton9463
      @charleslayton9463 3 года назад +3

      It's a good idea to taste the liquid from canned goods before incorporating it. Sometimes it is very salty. Sometimes it isn't the flavor you are looking for. Sometimes you even want to drain and rinse the canned goods before using them. If you can use the liquid, of course, you are getting some of the "good" of the food, e.g., vitamins, as well as flavor.

    The lentils cook about the same rate as rice. Add a cup of rice at the beginning if you eat rice. Stretch it further. Still not expensive. Seasonings. Vegetables. Herbs. Flavor it any way you like. Hence, much of the cuisine of South Asia. Delicious, affordable, feed your loved ones. 😊🌶🎶❤️💕🦊

    Fancy dishes can be fun, but I love these dishes in Chef Pépin's series. These feel like his "wartime" series. Similar to the SPAM dish, I feel like these are dishes crafted and/or inspired by when his family was in the war. Either way, it's fascinating to see him using nearly 100% of ingredients from the canned/dry goods aisle in Costco.
