[@bradswan7740]

Love this guy, he's in his 80's now and he's still as sharp as ever. Knife skills, seasonings and techniques are unsurpassed. Thanks for posting!

[@ChipsAplentyBand]

Let me second what Brad Swan wrote above. I've loved watching Jacques Pépin for many years, and still re-watch the cooking videos he taped with Julia Child, where you enjoy the banter-JP: "MORE butter?!!?"-JC: "Well, we want it to be good!"-just as much as the cooking instruction. From what I know of Jacques' life, he's had a stellar career in the food world but even as a life-long master chef he remains unpretentious and generous to his audience. I don't think people come any finer than that-a mixture of old school excellence and vast knowledge coupled with modesty and personal integrity-and, if I could, I would thank him personally for raising all of our lives higher than they would otherwise have been. He's one of those people that, although you don't actually know him personally, if you've spent lots of time watching his videos you love him as a friend as though you DID know him. That's not only the power of television, but it is the power of a great-hearted person as well. If his daughter should ever happen across this comment, please give your dad an extra hug sometime from me and the rest of his fans, OK? For others reading this comment: Did you know that Jacques is also an artist/painter/menu designer? Have a look at his website sometime: jacquespepin.org

When I had my 16th birthday, my sister gave me Jaques Pepin's "La Technique" which had just been published. (I had been fascinated with cooking since I was 8). That became my Bible for the next several years.

La Technique and La Methode are so informative. Both are excellence books!

[@pakde8002]

Then you're surely blessed 😇

[@victorpena9824]

Ah ha! La technique was first published around 1976 I was a senior in High School. So you've shown your age.😋 I have always had a strong desire to cook, until I started following Jacque it was all hot dogs and burgers, he opened a whole new way to put love on your family's table. I have around 7 of his books that I reference for full weekend meals. I get so much enjoyment in planning, shopping, prepping, timing, cooking and serving the meals. (Don't forget the wine.) Jacque is getting up in age and one day we'll wake up and he won't be around, a sad day because we all will lose a teacher and a friend. But until then, as Jacque would say, "Happy Cooking!"

[@noelleagape8684]

When he was younger (and so was I, I was a teen and had a little crush on him!) I literally learned to cook because of him. I hung on to his every word. As the years past by I began to just watch his program on PBS because his way gave me a sense of well being and inspired me. NOW I'm married and both my husband and I enjoy watching his cooking ideas, as he inspires us to create. His way of cooking and his attitude of humility/peacefulness stands alone in excellence, helping me to always remember the art of creating a lovely, sumptuous meal.

[@mumenrider862]

I watched him and Graham Kerr when I was in my teens in the 80s/90s. That's when Kerr had moved from using a lot of butter as the galloping gourmet to using EVOO. I learned so much. How to crush garlic, dice an onion, etc. I won my wife's heart with my cooking. :) 21 years and still going strong! And I still love the way Jacques says his own name... that alone is like butter.
