Love this! Elevates the turkey patty!

[@davestier6247]

Kudos to KQED and their staff for the labor of love of uploading these videos. Hopefully it can expose a new generation to Jacques. He is truly a treasure.

[@Idontwantachannel67]

Found myself smiling the entire time watching the magic and listening to the sage advice of my old friend, Jacques Pepin!

[@davidmatke248]

Jacques is the best!

[@CraigArndt]

Hope Chef is doing well, miss seeing him but love these older videos. He's such a great guy.

[@bdmbpm1467]

He makes cooking accessible for all levels. I appreciate that his cooking is very rustic ~ not looking for perfection.

[@bengt_axle]

If you are a Pépin fan, I recommend you read “The Apprentice”, Pépins memoir. It is wonderfully written, an easy read and explains why and how programs like these (as well as his eclectic mix of cuisines) came to be.

[@Dazzletoad]

I'm going to check for this. Thank you 😳

[@gretchendemasi768]

Read it and loved it

[@stephenmolaro2031]

The best TV chef of all time

[@malcontent510]

Classic Jacques - informative & accessible. I've always appreciated that he explains the "why" not just the "how" of his recipes.

[@robertdoback4553]

If you have not made this soup, wait no more. It is astounding.

[@joemad]

Jacques is next level in everything...love this gentleman

[@eliseolopez2790]

To do this with you LIDIM to sit and eat and have a cup of caffeine and engage in joyful words what a beautiful world.

[@derrickclunis4082]

I end watching with a warm fuzzy family feeling, deep inside. Thank you. You are truly classic.

[@samcooke2742]

M. Pépin shows us here how simple food can be the foundation for a wonderful life. I'm sure there is more to a great life than simple food, but you've probably figured out at least half of it if you're eating like Jacques.

[@jordanjae]

I love what he says near the end about havr nice dishes and a bottle of wine and sets an ellagant mood.

[@marcelinlesourir1337]

The Jacques Pepin magic.Entertaining and informative for the ages! Delightful lessons which remind me of Bourg -en- Bresse

[@LazyLifeIFreak]

Soup as a winter time meal, mate are you kidding me? I eat soup all year around! Winter, spring, summer, autumn!

[@ChuckD99]

There's always time for soup. For anyone not sure about soup making, take a note from Jacques and save veggie scraps and scraps from rotisserie chickens in the freezer until you have enough to make a stock. I've been doing it that way for a while and it makes stocks substantially better than store bought stock that is watered down. You can make your own delicious stock with just scraps you would have otherwise thrown away!

[@caner78bob]

Soup is boring, it's like foreplay. İf you're hungry just dig right in to your food don't waste time with soup

[@LazyLifeIFreak]

@@caner78bob Bad comments are boring. If you're tired of bad comments, just ignore them and stop wasting your time with it. *HINT HINT*

[@Pnanasnoic]

Jacques is the king. I love him for decades since I am a child.

[@paulwagner688]

He makes doing supremes look SO EASY

[@romulovermersch4548]

Jacques is a truly master of simplicity and, at the same time, of sofistication. It's always a pleasure to see him. Happy cooking!

[@carlossagaro5977]

This man is a master

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I love this. I sometimes make a soup out of a can of vegetable soup and add potatoes and cut up sausages.

[@davidbarnett8617]

Love me some Jacques Pepin! He is a god of the kitchen.

[@paulwagner688]

Turkey and vegetables in one patty. This is something I'm going to have to attempt.

[@AlphaPoe]

Love your recipes, Chef Pepin. Watching you for years. 🥂

[@bt9816]

25 years as a chef and I am still learning from this treasure.

[@joannaedwards6325]

So much delicious food with really low calorie content. Ground turkey is kind of tasteless to me but the way he prepared it adds so much flavor.

[@MrKmoconne]

Jacques intellect about the science of cooking cannot be ignored. He is a great chef who has earned his praise.

[@kristasampson8776]

I love your shows and I watch them as my mom did. I especially love you and Julia Child and Martin Yan.

[@daphnepearce9411]

Nice meal! I like the way he explains the different vitamin and mineral contents of all the produce he prepares.

[@SuwanneeHomestead]

Wonderful cabbage soup.

[@ahnaahna7278]

Thks Jacques. I make lots of cabbage dishes in winter. Thks for reminding me about the sausage, veggies etc. I have pre-cooked mild sausage n my freezer now. I will add it into this soup. And yes, I utilize lots of veggie leftover…..and I heat up/microwave the water to speed up the process. Thanks for reminder about the potassium in potatoes!! Much appreciation. Ahna USA

[@MottiShneor]

Love it! wonderful. It's no "high cuisine" for sure, but In the hands of a master cook/chef - simplest country/home dishes will still be VERY delicious and good. Applying the correct techniques and principles to simplistic dishes will make the difference. Thank you chef.

[@rameybutler6555]

he was a master. he seemed so humble and happy. he is someone i regret never meeting.

[@gwills1010]

You make it sound like he died.

[@SpaceMiner007]

Thanks again Chef/Chief Jacques!

I remember watching this and Rude dog and the dweebs every Saturday morning...

[@RosemaryGrimes-rl1mp]

Thanks for all your knowledge !! 😄😄

[@paulwagner688]

I forget what the term is, but Jacques is showing us exactly how to do the meat slurry for hot dogs.

[@rameybutler6555]

and that's what makes him a master. you are learning mutiple things all at once but it never seems complicated. he was a true artist/master of his craft.

[@alexjenkins263]

He says that

[@Lazuli901]

Late response, but it's called a farce. any 'stuffing' prepared that way, since it of course was a stuffing for sausage casings originally.

[@purplebutterfly7257]

Oh man those patties look delicious. 😋

[@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad.]

Chef Pepin's TV shows are like a master's degree in cooking. Always delicious. Keep posting 'em. They blow anything on the Food Network away... though, in my opinion, Good Eats (with Alton Brown) and Giada's Everyday Italian constitute a solid undergrad-level culinary course.

[@terrypogue]

I love the frickadell technique.

[@giovannaiamele2932]

Wow! Delicious!

[@victorpena9824]

Good Job, Jacque! I'm going to cook these, wear a t-shirt, tie, and shorts. We will look up scale. 👍

We've got very simillar soup in Poland. Use smoked sousage or bacon and dill instead chives :) And a little bit of vinegar

[@raynierllewis2827]

Jacques is it.

[@MikeMancuso]

What's up everyone!

[@mervinprone]

Peels the entire grapefruit, handles it all, then says I think I’ll wash my hands, I was touching turkey 😂

[@ARIZJOE]

Savoy cabbage - difficult to find here in Arizona. But it's way more flavorful. Also, good sausage more difficult to find without ethnic meat markets. Ingredients are everything. Jack mostly throws together peasant food -- better with good stuff.

[@thomaserickson7972]

If the sausage soup is too caloric, you know, just leave out the sausage. Because we all know that eating homemade soup is the real diet buster 😆

When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, I tell her food, when she asks me what type of food, I tell her good food. I usually work 90 hours a week, I am too tired to cook, sometimes I take my steel toed boots off and fall asleep in the chair, too tired to eat or bathe.

[@paulwagner688]

All so called "haute cuisine" is at its root "peasant" or "country" food.

[@ahnaahna7278]

We cook only with evoo….coconut oil…walnut…avocado oil.and other raw oils. Research that…..for yourself. Use only pure Irish butter from grass fed cows.

[@raynierllewis2827]

Stop worry about calories

[@VedicDesi]

Young Jacques was a fantastic chef but as he became a celebrity he started doing non traditional things like counting calories, using chemicals and using fake oil. Canned products etc. But cant fault the guy. He had a family to take care of. I have his old books that are rooted in French tradition and they are very good.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

He actually started using these things in order to show how to cook simply during the week. If you get home from work at 6:30, are you going to cook a soup that takes an hour and a half? Little kids are heading to bed by then.

[@VedicDesi]

@@cliftonmcnalley8469 this was made in the modern era where traditional families we being eradicated. traditionally the wife would do this and yeah it worked. If you need to take a shortcut cook on your days off and reheat on stove.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

@@VedicDesi First- this isn't my device - I am a woman. My female friends that work and had children with ball games and such appreciated some of the shortcuts that chefs like Jacques could work into a decent recipe. For myself personally, I have often cooked monthly and frozen items. These days I prefer the freshness of stir fry. In my experience, most human beings aren't organized enough to make a decent shopping list. Planning for an entire week is too much. I grew up quite poor but with a very thrifty mom. Explaining cooking at home to me is preaching at the choir.

[@VedicDesi]

@@cliftonmcnalley8469 I grew up with a working mom and dad and I feel ya. I just think as a world class chef he should have shown more class and not promoted all the big agra chemical food companies. all the quality time in the world doesn't mean much if the kids are sick. That's all. peace

Love Jacques and all his videos but it makes my head hurt that he can't remember "box grater"!
