Mr. Pepin has got to be the most rudimentary cook I've ever seen. It's the recipes he comes up with, the way he handles the ingredients, how he cuts them up and how he uses them. He's very casual about it as if saying, "You can do it this way, or you can do it that way." In other words, he's telling you you're your own cook. "This is how I like it, and that's how my wife likes it." Nothing is written in stone.

Chef Pépin, a very sophisticated man, grew up very, very poor. He turned down Jackie Kennedy as a chef, and instead worked R&D for Howard Johnson's. Jacques is very practical.

Can we all take a minute and marvel at how Jacques is still cooking these amazing recipes and sharing them with us. I like to watch all types of chefs cook, but Jacques is undoubtedly my favorite. Ramsay is great and cooks because he cooks with passion and incredible technique, but Jacques cooks with love. Not to mention, he also probably invented half the techniques Ramsay uses. I stumbled on Fast Food My Way by accident when I was home from school as a boy almost 20 years ago, and I've made it a point to watch his shows and videos ever since. My favorite thing about his recipes is he makes it look like any of us could do this easily, and so many have. He's helped inspire more cooks than anyone and I hope he knows how many people truly appreciate all he's done for cooking, and people throughout the world.

I made a variation on this for dinner tonight based on what I had in the house. Used andouille sausage instead of bacon, black beans in the place of the chick peas and tomato paste instead of diced. I had to simmer it a bit longer and add some additional liquid to fully cook the rice and I should have seasoned the wings before browning, but otherwise it turned out really well. Delicious and plenty of leftovers for the weekend. :)

I just made this with boneless chicken thighs and sausage instead of bacon (had to add a little bit of olive oil before adding the garlic, onion and chopped poblano, which I used instead of a jalapeno). Also, I used fresh cilantro instead of frozen, and fire roasted organic diced tomatoes. This recipe is a keeper!
@beeble2003 Жыл бұрын
The only reason he's using frozen cilanro is because that's what he had to hand -- there's no benefit in it being frozen. I don't think he explains it in this video, but when he buys a bunch of cilantro, he uses the leaves and freezes the stems to he'll have them to hand when he next needs cilantro. The stems and leaves taste the same, so it doesn't make much difference. The stems are maybe slightly tougher, and freezing them maybe breaks that down slightly, but really there's no big difference.
