Jacques is one of the great chefs... no snobbery, no silly nonsense, just down to earth easy to understand cooking.

[@phuckugugu]

I've watched you for years Chef. I never get tired of it and I never stop learning, You still make 'em all look like they're standing still. God bless you Chef.

Jacques teaches us the traditional recipes but he also makes no pretense with using modern appliances like the food processor etc. or techniques. He explains it so well too.. that’s the mark of an excellent teacher.

[@joannaedwards6325]

When Chef Pepin says, "It's perfectly fine" I am somehow calmed and reassured. If there's a tiny bump in my day to cause anxiety, I just hear J.P.'s soothing voice tell me that it's perfectly fine. His version of everything's going to be ok. 😊

I’ve been watching Chef Pépin probably 30+ years. Have many of his books, the one with Julia Child Is very special. Why I’m leaving a comment is that I loved seeing Chef use a food processor for the dough and cooking the bacon in the microwave! Bravo Chef Pépin. 👏

Thank goodness for Jacque Pepin and Martin Yang on PBS channel 3 for teaching me to cook as a young bachelor. Jacque’s recipes are so delicious and easy to follow. First thing I learned was how to make proper French scramble eggs. The GOAT of cooking.

[@nikip9161]

My Ma doesn't ever prebake her dough either... It's always delicious with leeks, onions, sometimes ham and broccoli. Such a classic dish which never grows weary. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dannyfrog]

This man's voice is so comforting and he is very precise.

[@Revelwoodie]

I use beans to weigh down crusts when I pre-bake them. I allow the beans to cool afterward and put them back in their jar, handily labelled "baking beans" and sitting on a handy shelf. I usually make quiche after lunch, so it's cool enough to have around 4PM (we eat dinner late). My husband is always on conference calls that time of day, so he's never witnessed the process. One day he wanders into the kitchen and asks me, "Hun, when are you going to bake those beans? They've been in that jar forever." Bless his heart, lol.

[@nickismith4787]

Their fried clams - yum!

[@GradyGillis]

@@nickismith4787 Glad you liked them. I was a cook in a Howard Johnson's restaurant for six months (73-74). Friday night was clam night and what a mess in the kitchen! Longest night of clean up in the whole week. But we got to eat the clam strips all night long.

[@nickismith4787]

@@GradyGillis Those were the days, my friend!

[@marthawelch4289]

@@GradyGillis What the heck is a clam strip? Before you answer I should tell you that I am 68 years old and my parents (born in 1916, no longer with us on earth) always told me that no seafood (this did NOT include fish) should be eaten: 1. In any city that wasn't right next to a BIG body of water (air travel is not fast enough) 2. In a month that did (or did NOT) [I no longer remember which] have an 'R' in it. I have never lived in a watery (salty or not) city so that will tell you how often I have eaten seafood. Oh, I have tried fish and I don't like them. But I still would like to know what a clam strip is. Thank you!

[@GradyGillis]

@@marthawelch4289 Being 68 is good. I'm 67 and hope to see 68 and more beyond that. Just because we've been around for a while doesn't mean we know everything, but don't tell the young ones that! Clam strips, according to some sources, are essentially the whole clam minus the belly part. One source clams they are the nearly inedible, terrible tasting siphon or neck of the clam. I think he got some bad ones once and just decided they all must be like that. I learned that they are simply the large Atlantic Surf clam that's been cut into strips. They are mass produced and don't have the full-bodied flavor of the full body clam like others varieties. But they can definitely be prepared well enough to be tasty to all but the most snobbish taste buds, and they are much less delicate than whole clams and are easier to prepare in zillion pound batches like we did at HoJo's on Friday nights. Hope that answers your question.

My very 1st true meal was something I watched Jacques make on his PBS show many, many years ago. From then on I have watched him hundreds and hundreds of times and have purchased his cookbooks. For a 5 star chef he presents all his meals in a way amateurs can follow and prepare. Simply amazing.

[@paulamiller7564]

I love how Mr. Pepin isn’t all snooty about it. Here is this great, accomplished chef and he doesn’t make you too nervous to pick up an egg the way some of these chef people do. You can use bacon - or you can use ham. Yay. I’d rather have ham. :) It is about the food, not the fussy stuff and not the glitzy crap. I don’t want Cupcake Wars. I want to learn to make food that tastes good (and maybe looks nice.) 🙄 Bobby Flay shows you how to cook something - it’s about Bobby Flay. With Jacque Pepin, it is about the teaching and the food. Also how he gives us ideas for extra uses for things he isn’t using - make cracklings out of chicken skin, make a little quiche with the extra dough, put stuff in soup. I hate wasting food! You might as well throw money away! And when you’re cooking for one or two, it gets difficult, so God Bless Jacques Pepin!!!

[@deliabottoms285]

You summarized it well. An accomplished chef whose passion is all about the food. He is an excellent teacher..I always learn something everytime I watch him prepare a dish. He is from the WWII generation, when food was not wasted. I appreciate that. My mother was from that era as well. ☺
