Chef Jacques Pepin opens up about new cookbook and memories made throughout lengthy career

[@reneemoreno8030]

I grew up watching him and Julia...for at least 58 years. I became a caterer and love to cook and bake. I started early in life like Crepe Suzettes at 8. Cooking has been my life.

[@issacsinha]

I had been worried about him, since he stopped uploading those videos after the sad demise of his wife. But now looking at this video, which is 3 weeks old, and knowing that he is still going at it with his garden, books, cooking and dog, I am having a sense of relief. It's such a sight to watch Mr. Jacques Pepin.

[@bukowskibabe]

The man is a treasure. Protect him at all cost.

[@aldomeow]

At the rate we’re going… Until he gets metoo’d 😂

[@Marss13z]

Well, he's not a kid, so...

[@cindyd.5507]

Spoken like a true French man "maybe sex" too funny. He spent a life time filming cooking shows and I watched them all my all time favorite celebrity I can not get enough .

[@LarryDoolittle]

Great interview of a national treasure.

[@valentinelott9133]

Truly a lovely man that I've had the honor and pleasure of meeting. Wishing him many, many more years of "happy cooking"!

[@rasat4829]

I watched this guy on tv about twenty something years ago when I first came to this country and was very impressed and knew he was going to become a legend.

[@julieenslow5915]

Here's the part you may not realize: he was already famous in France by his 20's to 30's. He's in his 80's now, so that was 20-30 years before you came here. His legend just keeps growing!

[@rasat4829]

@@julieenslow5915 Well, I didn't anything about cooking and about chiefs but seeing him a few times then on tv I knew he was great.

[@julieenslow5915]

@@rasat4829 You are so correct! Chefs love to watch him, and I am assured by the two I know that they learn something in everything he does. He shares his knowledge so easily that beginner home cooks can learn, and professional chefs learn too. He is not secretive with his knowledge, he shares it with everyone, thereby raising the level of competence for all of us. What a gem!

[@theoriginalbridgetconnors]

Love, love, LOVE Jacques Pepin! I remember one show of his where he was teaching knife skills. I could literally watch him all day slicing food.

[@7rays]

I’ve spent a lifetime watching him and I am richer for it

[@centashe]

I love watching him cook, and hear him tell stories from earlier times. Such a beautiful soul!!

[@TheKat1959]

A international treasure indeed. Have been a fan for decades. Many blessings upon you Chef Pepin. Many blessings upon all who read this. It warmed my heart to read so many kind words. He truly spreads joy through cooking. Everyone please have a blessed day today and every day 🌎❤️😊

[@patysays9510]

Well done interview. Here is a man who lives life and loves life to the full.. his wife passed away in December but he continues to live and enjoy life. Thats the way it was meant to be. Love you jaques

[@laurieschuster]

No words for how much I adore this man.

[@reedwells7180]

What Wonderful Memories He Gives Us

[@RueMontagu]

I love Jacques Pepin

[@JohnAckerman93]

Who doesn’t? He is such an amazing treasure. He is full of ideas and techniques to make cooking easy, and fun for everyone

[@nadineskye7050]

Whenever I need to feel centered, to escape from the world, I watch one of Jacque's cooking shows. He is just so warm, humble, kind, human. I immediately feel at peace when I hear his wonderful soft voice. He even inspired me to learn how to cook :). If you read this, Jacque, you are loved and I hope you are in good health. Much love!

[@StacyK0731]

I totally agree with you Nadine, he can give me some peace at the end of a really rough day, I love watching his video's, I've learned so much from him. I taught my grandson "Salad A La Creme" He is a real treasure that I adore.

[@davidridgway4705]

I just love him! I have learn so much from him!

[@rearea6409]

Watched him for years, Love from Mississippi

[@amapolaoxytocin1432]

This segment triggered so many beautiful thoughts from waaayy back when, when I was just a young girl! Jacques and Julia Child in the kitchen together preparing gorgeous food was So intriguing to me that i damn near *Demanded* that my family allow me to start cooking on my own at the age of 8 or 9!! Lol I've been cooking ever since!! I'm 38 now and I've been teaching my own 17yr old daughter the kitchen skills ever since she was 5yr old!!! Jacques Pepin has inspired SOOOO MANY Generations Around the world!! I am FOREVER GRATEFUL

[@harrymann5523]

Still better than anyone on Food Network

[@enthusiast1]

Lovely... of course a great cook... but add his persistent zest for life, his sense of humor, frankness are all together quite beautiful, inspirational. Thank you Jacques Pépin! ❤

[@ultimatesportsmedicine4395]

Always loved him since I was little, glad he's still around!!

[@karenkaren3189]

He is a lovely man and a great chef.

[@katieallison5257]

i met Jacque Pepin at the Aspen Food and Wine event 35 years ago. i was my first and i had the pleasure of sitting next to him. what a treat....he was so friendly. BTW we were both watching Julie Childs cook on stage

[@DSmith-gs4tr]

I love that he was speaking French to his dog in the garden

[@billbubnis3128]

This man is the reason I love to cook. Merci beau coup Chef!

[@Nerophiliac]

Excellent interview!

[@sandralong1181]

luv luv Jacque!! good Health & long life to him..........

[@mas3ymd]

Jacques Pepin is really a wonderful human being. We are so lucky to be living in his time of influence on what we eat. And his sense of humor…. amazing!!

[@jeffatuofl]

I have learned so much from Chef Pepín over the years. He truly a treasure.

Nothing but ❤️❤️❤️❤️ for this man.

[@msPaulaA1]

This man is such an inspiration for my cooking style. I have learned so much. I am grateful for every tip, trick, and flavor

[@audreyjan520]

I LOVE this man! What else can I say? 😉

[@susanjoseph236]

Always loved to watch Jacques

[@ARIZJOE]

Thank you for showing more of Jack's home. It's ideal. Nice and made for comfortable living. Chef Pépin deserves it. France's greatest gift to America after the Statue of Liberty.

[@almathees3839]

Well said” Sir Jacques Pepin!!”

[@pnwperson]

i watch Jacques on some random station called CREATE, he is magnificent!!!!❤❤❤❤ He has the best spirit!!!!

[@mschrief]

I've had a crush on him for decades. I'll wait for him :)

[@holgate1970]

I suspect there are many life lessons to be learned from this gentleman besides cooking and art. Notice he does not live in a huge house, yet he has the means to afford one. He was happily married to his wife (rip) for 50+ years, in which they met on the ski slope & had similar interests. Probably one can go on and on the more you learn about his values/lifestyle.

[@deefrazier3539]

Love this guy. Great videos. Anyone can make his recipes.

[@omegasage777]

He was always a joy to watch on the TV :)

[@gregjohnson720]

The man is a genius and is without a doubt the best omelete chef in the world. As many people know the universal test for a new chef or cook applicant is still making him or her cook an omelete. His omelete video recipe should be in the Smithsonian Museum. He could have stayed in France and have become a Michelin three-star chef for decades and maybe even the only four-star in the world. A chef, an artist, a brilliant writer a pétanque champ. Mon Dieu!

[@afolsom685]

Gotta love Jacques.

oh, I love Jacques Pépin ❤️

[@christinatolar4155]

I grew up watching Julia and Jacques on PBS. I wasn't interested in cartoons like other kids my age. His cooking shows on KZbin helped me survive quarantine.

[@jakerson181]

In an era where it takes so little to be viewed as a celebrity chef, he remains a culinary legend and a giant of the industry. And thanks to him and after many failures, I learned to make his soft french omelette which is now the only omelette I will eat.

[@rodwilliams6655]

If I could meet anyone I wanted, he is the one.

[@mitamita4072]

I love him he is so sweet unpretentious excellent chef I love you chef pepin

Yes he is the best chef ever

Jacques Pepin should live to be 200 years old. He looks amazing and still very handsome at 85. He taught me how to cook.

Don't be surprised if we see him cooking Dog biscuits with "Gaston". 😄

Second sentence on the intro is confusing and needs an edit. Suggested: … before he turned down a job at the White House working for President Kennedy in favor of a job at Howard Johnson's.

So how did he do that nifty little trick with the cork? At 4:41 ?

J'aime beaucoup Jacques Pepin et Tous les chooses qu'il fait. Il eat vraiment in cadeau du Dieu.

[@mervinprone]

“It’s not a complicated recipe” well nothing ever is with Jacques Pépin but it does require some skill. It’s taken me some practice to get his effortless looking French omelette and of course, I still can’t do it as well as he does. I really like that lunch, it was nice to see what he would make for people at his home, instead of things he might cook on a show.

[@mervinprone]

Who noticed the zucchini and eggplant gratin? That’s a classic Julia Child recipe! A tribute to her, no doubt, that he included it.

[@Hokie5Libra82]

I died laughing at the end, but did he lie? Lol!

[@uglyrose2019]

I love Pepin's recipes....he thought me how to make crepes 😋😋😋

[@svonkie]

Celebrities can sometimes be fickle, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would enjoy hanging out and learning from Jacques for an indefinite period of time, i.e. until he kicked me out.

[@nailbitter310]

The answer at the end of his interview threw me off. Haha

"It's worth it to check out the videos..." What do you think we've done during the pandemic? You're late to the play!

[@cortright3669]

He never mentioned his wife, daughter and granddaughter. That surprised me.

[@paulwagner688]

The cookbook released just before the one they plugged was one where he cooks with Shorey. If you order it through Prime, you get the videos attached.

[@heathervelasco5159]

I wonder if he is related to the Pepin sisters
