Easy Egg Salad with Jacques Pépin

[@lohphat]

I just read his wiki page and learned of his horrendous 1974 car accident where he was so badly injured with 14 fractures in his back, pelvis, shoulder, and arm, the doctors wanted to amputate his madly damaged left arm. For him to reinvent himself knowing he probably couldn't work full-time again is a testament to his passion for life and spreading his talents to uncountable others. Merci chef!

[@mikehill3728]

Glad Jacques Pepin is still cooking!

40 years ago I learned how to boil eggs from a young french fellow on TV, I never really ate boiled eggs because of the sulfur taste before that - Thanks for teaching us all

[@mogarcia9755]

@JacquesPepin-b8i I have also watched you for many years and do so now, selfishly also because you remind me so much of my Pop half Italian/Mexican who was a chef at Adolphus Hotel Dallas for 25 yrs. He’s gone now but watching you keeps him alive, he taught all of us how to cook, he would say you have to eat you might as well eat well made food, Thank you Jacque, sir for all the years…

Jacques Pépin's voice, I could listen to it all day. The perfect teacher's voice, inspiring, showing, telling. Simple food can be so beautiful -- those lettuces made me pause the video.

I learned to cook from Julia and Jacques. I have such happy memories of Saturday afternoons watching PBS’s cooking lineup with my mother. Other kids may have watched Saturday morning cartoons obsessively, but for me it was PBS cooking shows in about a 4 hour block on WGBH.

[@donnaleveron5711]

My daughter and I did the same thing. I've always loved cooking, new recipes and ideas, trying new tastes and dishes from other countries, passed it along to my daughter.❤

[@Jesus_equals_LOVEnForgviness]

You're probably around my age and yes such wonderful memories of watching those two both individually and together which was the best, their gentle back n forth banter. I'm as surprised as I'm sure Julia would have been to see he didn't use any garlic.

Curry powder is delicious in egg salad. I smash my eggs with a fork and add lots of black pepper too. It tastes so good on buttered toast.

[@Lorethe2nd]

Whipped eggs is great on buttered toast too. You basically stir the eggs vigorously in a tall pot and cook on low to medium heat. The eggs become spreadable and it’s really good over buttered toast.

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

So simple, so beautiful, so delicious. Curry powder is a lovely addition to a mayonnaise dressing.

Never would I have thought of curry powder on my own. But if Jacques Pepin puts it, you know it’s good! I will definitely be using curry powder next time.

"Add a quarter cup of mayonnaise" -- Adds a cup. "A good teaspoon of French mustard" -- Adds a quarter cup. Reminds me of Justin Wilson adding a cup of wine a quarter cup at a time while continuously pouring the wine into the prep. :)

@@JarrodFrates sign of a good chef, some people need to know exact measurements, exactly when to stir, flip or how long to cook, a good chef knows what, when, how much and how long without following a recipod word for word, it's learned instinct.

With apologies to Chef Pépin, I added some umami by including Worcestershire Sauce which gives the mixture some nice tang. Also, I use Miracle Whip where mayo is recommended…I was a child held captive by benign loving parents…who used Miracle Whip and created this culinary monster who grew up thankful and a bit overweight.❤

I don't understand why all chefs don't know about steaming eggs instead of boiling I learned that from Sarah Moulton a few years ago and I'll never boil eggs again the skin slips off like a glove it works every time😊

[@bonnielucas3244]

Best way to " shop your eggs " ( CHOP) WITH HIS ACCENT

[@howdyouknow]

I've started using the "America's Test Kitchen" method for hardboiled eggs. Just steam them for 14 minutes and let cool in some ice water after. They come out absolutely perfect every time and the membrane under the shell never sticks and the yolks are always perfect (no green ring). They even have a short video here on KZbin that demonstrates it. Obviously if you want a softer yolk for whatever reason then many other methods work, too, (or maybe just a bit less time) but that's now my go-to for eggs that I'd want to use for a dish like this.

[@JacquesPepinFoundation]

Huh, steaming? That sounds like a really smart approach! - CC from JPF
