A Candid Q&A with Chef Jean-Pierre

We are a fortunate group of people. Thank you for sharing your world with us, Chef; you're a good and beautiful soul, sir!

Chef, I’m retired too and I love everyone of your videos. I share them with my kids so we can do them together. Looking forward to your meet and great. I will be there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

​@@ChefJeanPierre I tried to leave a comment but the option was not here. Thank you for the Q&A. I have been working on a plan to submit to you for writing your biography and now you've shared some of your story for free! ❤️ I really wanted to write your life story. Maybe a meet 'n greet will afford the opportunity to discuss it with you. Looking forward to more Q&A with you!

[@stevenmqcueen7576]

IMO, the reason Chef Jean-Pierre is so beloved by his us his fans is not because of his culinary skill or because of his talent as teacher or his enthusiasm for cooking or even his delightful sense of humor. It is because of his humility. Watching a man of so many talents exude the milk of human kindness in every thing he says and does is uplifting and inspiring. Chef Jean-Pierre doesn't just show us how to become better cooks, he shows us how to become better people. God bless you, chef.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you for this episode. I just retired from 45 years as a commercial painter. I passed my business on to my partner. Now I have even more time to be in the kitchen. Growing up I stood beside my mom learning the basics “ don’t pack the flour, fold it in,etc. chef you truly inspire and show me that I can do these wonderful recipes. I live in alaska and have fresh King Salmon often. My favorite way is to cut 3/4”, lay on foil, little salt and pepper, inside Bar-B-Que. the flavor of the fish is AMAZING! I so wish I could give you a nice King salmon and watch you work it. I could send you one????? Blessings and Thank You. I remember hearing a phycologist say “We are happiest when we are learning”

Chef, thanks you for all that you do. I showed my mom a few of your videos (she is classically trained, specializing in pastries and baking)...she was nodding along and giggling with approval.

Chef. You are the most humble and most talented chef on You Tube. I grew up cooking and canning with my mother in the kitchen, but lost real interest as a young adult. You are one of a very select group of culinary experts that has reinvigorated my desire to cook better and master technique. Now, once again I love to cook and am proud of what I can do in the kitchen for my family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of the best teachers I have ever had. At 57 that is saying something. Because of you, I am able to practice my skills with a couple of professional chefs in my Masonic lodge here in NH. when we do dinners, etc. ( I pick their brains and learn from them as well ) I'm sure you have no idea as too how many peoples lives you have touched over the years, but on behalf of all of us, Thank You for sharing your love of your craft and making us all better people. --- dennis in NH.

This makes me feel so lucky of all those meals at your school yet sad that covid made it impossible to continue. For those who have not experienced JP in person think about being able to have him cook a meal for you and in front of you for about the same cost of actually just buying the meal at a restaurant but being taught how to cook it at home and experiencing his humor and charisma. (while BYOB!)

We all miss the school maybe one day we will reopen who knows. You certainly brought back some wonderful memories Godspeed!❤️

Chef, take the school on the road in a town near us. Perhaps, like a cooking tour. I'd buy tickets!

That's a wonderful idea ​@@sunshineproductions4122. It would take alot of organisation though and depends on the time chef JP has and the cost of travel too. Maybe in the future chef may think about it. I'd travel all the way from the UK to be at one of those though xx

Chef, finding your channel has been one of the most fortunate accidents of my life. Newly single, I found myself wanting to cook my own meals instead of going out alone. I have learned so much, especially willing to create dishes with what’s available. I was before, a strict follow the recipe guy, now I create. Also, I love cooking for my family and they now ask me to cook for them whenever I visit. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing everyone enjoying my cooking. All credit goes to you. You are a great teacher and your passion for cooking infuses your followers with an equal passion. Thank you!!!!

I absolutely loved the Q & A, so many questions answered I was wondering about, but did not want to bother you with. Personally, I think a Q&A about every 2 months would be great, and by the way I love the idea of meet and greet! I think you should do a couple of regional meet and greets, specifically tied to say culinary festivals or something of that nature. Chef Jean THANK YOU and your staff that make it all happen for sharing your talent for teaching and cooking in such a entertaining way. My husband and I love to watch your videos together, it is not often we agree on video content to watch, but you get the gold star there!

Hi Chef JP, before I discovered your channel, I had so many cookbooks and have watched the Food Network channel, still I was not inspired to go into the kitchen. After I discovered you, I have been cooking for my family weekly and they just love my cooking thanks to your teaching. I realized sometime ago that your way of teaching is my way of learning. I love your personality and you make me want to cook because I can watch your video and follow along with you. Thank you again for being an excellent teacher. You have inspired many people like me who was so tired of cooking the same old boring dishes. Thank you and God bless you.

You know,Chef, every time I watch your channel, I learn something about cooking that I didn’t know…and that’s so great, but truly, what keeps me coming back is your warm and funny personality. You are so accomplished yet so:approachable and down to earth. You make all of us want to come to Florida and hang out with you around the butter bowl. Thank you for bringing laughter to every recipe, and most of all, for being so generous with your knowledge. You make the world a better place.
