[@jaysifff]

I hope that everyone watching this video realizes that this man is a genius and a national treasure. Imagine having Albert Einstein teach you basic arithmetic, all the way through advanced nuclear physics. That, in the kitchen, is what what we have all been gifted by the great Jacques Pepin. Now realize that he been an instructor for more than half a century and all of his techniques are available to the world both for purchase and, in many cases, for free. Chef, you have changed countless lives for the better and you are owed an endless amount of gratitude. On behalf of mankind, thank you!

[@CurtDiesel81]

Well said

[@irenesanchez6988]

I have to agree he is incredible

[@JorgeChavez-mk2rt]

Jay, you have put the essentials of gratitude in the right words to the most merited recipient for his quality of work and simplicity of communication in the teaching. Most of us, cooks or not cooks, want always to learn some essentials of decent cooking as well as learning some principals of maths and physics. We all were lucky enough to arrive at this video presentation, and we've got impregnated with the taste to follow his lead. Chef Jacques Pépin deserves all kinds of recognition and our humble gratitude. Very good written, Jay, and well done.

[@carolynknight1520]

Truly, a treasure.

[@sircolt8184]

@@JorgeChavez-mk2rt Absolutely marvelous comment my dear Jay. Even the most basic cooks and non cooks can profit from this video. Be it about cooking or a stem major. Chef pepin really fucking jizzed in my mouth not only with his wisdom, but also with his calming teaching. Great video and great paragraph jorge I hope you have a wonderful day.

I suspect that this video was illegally uploaded to KZbin without permission. This material is taken from the DVD "Essential Pepin," and Jacques deserves to receive royalties from the sale of his DVDs, which won't happen if people can watch the video without paying for it.

If I had a wish it would be to spend a day with this man. The stories, the food, the technique. Jacques has been very influential in my home cooking as I have watched him since his days with Julia on Saturday afternoons growing up.

[@msr1116]

My favorite episode was when Jacques and Julia made hamburgers. Those two ate theirs with such gusto that it was an absolute joy to watch them consume every bite---proving that something so basic and uncomplicated but well-prepared is very delicious.

Bruh i was shocked how he actually made the mayo in like 1 minute ... i never knew you can add oil that fast wow

[@ConniJo]

@@fortazerty you can also put a whole egg, mustard lemon, seasoning into a narrow high container, blend it with a stick mixer, dump in a good quantity air oil and then blend and at the same time pull up slowly so the mixing blades pill in a little oil at the time, my mom showed me that and it's like magic. (I failed at the first attempt, because I was impatient and gave up too early, but well, everything working on the first try would be boring 😂) I like making my own mayonnaise but one egg yields for me about half a liter of mayo, and I alone can't eat that much at once, and self made mayo sadly doesn't keep that long 🥺

I love this man, I practice his omelette technique almost every day, still can't do it as well as he can. But this is the amazing thing, I have been eating omelette all my life and never had it the way he makes it. I will never make it any other way now. Such knowledge and humility. I got tired of just copying recipes and having to buy ingredients for one dish that breaks the bank. Thus I started teaching myself techniques so that I won't have to be reliant on some celebrity chef's cookbook and stumbled upon this. This is pure gold. Learning so much, will definitely watch this over and over to infinity.
