Can't wait to see WHO can bone a chicken faster, between Jacques and Martin.

Brah, watch the Bocuse d'Or. It's the elite of the elite of chefs representing each country. I trained for that shit and deboned 8 chickens in under a minute, and yet I was clearly not the best

I think Yan would have the edge. The guy is an absolute freakshow in terms of knife skills.

25 minutes and six seconds of pure pro chef, no modern ear piece and multiple takes for this masterpiece. LEGEND! thank you Jacque you are a true master chef!

25 minutes of no hand sanitizer lol

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@YahLovesYou86 Time restraint plus no stopping camera for editing. Pure 100% instruction. Go criticize elsewhere 😝. In my home and in YOUR kitchen we can wash up many times and switch out our cutting boards. But these masterpieces of KQED productions with Chef Pepin are done in less than 30 MINUTES.😊

[@kevrywhere]

@@YahLovesYou86 Who the fuck used hand sanitizer in the kitchen? You wash your hands... Anyways, what you just watched was for a show. The reason Jacques was there getting paid that day was to PERFORM and TEACH for the AT-HOME AUDIENCE, not necessarily to prepare a dish for someone to eat. So yes, there were moments where he would surely have stopped and washed his hands, cuttingboard, etc. but didn't because he's making an episode of a show in one take. You're a smooth-brain.

The original "30 Minute Meals". Only difference is that Jacques is a master at his craft. So proficient.

[@johndougherty8720]

Jacques Pepin was, and still is, my favorite chef. He is just the all around perfect package! Unbelievably skilled, endlessly knowledgeable, revolutionary and always humble/kind. He is a great man!

[@rickmiller5450]

He may not be the best chef of our time, though he might be, he's certainly the best teacher we amateurs have ever seen.

[@ajconstantine3593]

I made this the day the Balthazar cookbook came out years ago. Just sayin one primo chef doesn’t erase others (especially w this dish). He’s heaven to watch regardless of what he’s cookin. As I age, my passion for cooking only gets more intense. I’m sure everyone watchin a JP video knows that feelin. 🤷‍♂️😄

[@IDDQDSound]

You can tell he's done all of this thousands of times! True mastery!

[@tk-zb6br]

I'm 60 years old been cooking for 50 and I'm 10% of this rock star. Pure genius.

Efficiency of movement is astonishing. His skills are unbelievable. The master at work. Be safe and happy old friend.

[@warrenalexander5285]

It's always such a treat to watch Jacques Pepin cook.

[@sakaridis]

Watching Jacques Pepin cook is like watching a perfect combination of a genius artist and a master craftsman. Absolutely stunning!

[@mcpappysgolden]

Yep. I used to watch him and Julia Child on PBS every Saturday. Amazing.

[@Spyyyder1]

Watching him cook is always a treat. He moves in the kitchen like a surgeon in an operating theatre

God I used to watch these religiously on my PBS on Saturday afternoon during the 80’s and 90’s. Great stuff

Jacques Pepin is the greatest TV chef ever. He is the antithesis of Gordon Ramsey.

[@joannaedwards6325]

ABSOFKGLUTELY!!!!!! Not a G.R. fan.

[@78LedHead]

These are pure gold. Chef Pepin is one of a kind. He's a throwback to a glorious era.

[@willguiro]

Pépin is also a very humble, a sincerely modest person. Even though his gift is so enormous, his stature unbeatable - it's fantastic that he doesn't even try to hide the habit of tasting with his finger as he goes along. (or maybe it's BECAUSE of that stature?) Almost a jazz musician "maybe I'll put in a little of this...why not? I've got some in the fridge." He never loses a beat, always making it look not only easy, but like something you want to try to do yourself. Merci Maitre!

[@norrispulliam7810]

Yes ! and if a jazz musician Duke ellington are Bill evans . He is one of the last of the great old world chefs . He still does his now famous pbs show from home even tho he can rest comfortably on his laurels .

[@mistreme8341]

It’s interesting his application of dietetics in his presentation. Some of the information is a bit antiquated now, but quite a bit is still good science. A very well educated chef, of course, being Jacques Pepin the Legend.

[@jpangilinan5306]

What I'm getting out of this series is that "lower calorie" meals can still be delicious and filling and none of it looks like diet food. It looks like normal food and that's great.

[@erikingmundson]

I love his confidence, knowledge, and the way he explains things. You respect his skill, but he also makes you feel that you can do it. A master teacher.

[@mrsir1872]

[@leonasilka7349]

I really miss Jacques tv series, I learned so much, and I still make his homemade bread in a pot! What an amazing chef.

[@StreetComp]

Great to see these older cooking episodes and interesting to see Jacques thinking about cooking slightly healthier. Then there’s the way he says arrange :) love it

[@hartleygabolinscy3152]

Todays Gourmet was my favourite series for Jacques Pepin. I watched the whole lot, like a hawk. In the first minute or two I learnt how to glaze for onions/carrot. These were a special time for Jacques and he was in full mode for teaching. Will continue to re-watch every one of these again and again. A great reference to have. 👍👍👍❤️👍👍👍

Truly the master of masters. The show is so clearly about the food, and the viewer, and not him. Incomparable.

[@Marx-Lennon]

He makes cutting that oyster and pulling the legs off so effortless and easy. After you do 50 of them of course it gets easier, but it’s art the way he does it. What a legend

[@daphnepearce9411]

Wow, what a feast. I was actually thinking of making coq au vin again, but definitely with the lardons! I also love the mashed potato with turnip and garlic.

[@MetaWander]

Almost everything I know about cooking, I learned from watching Monsieur Pépin since my teen years in the 80s. I have all his books and still enjoy watching and learning from him, including in his shorter, more recent clip series. What an admirable, honest and generous career. Bravo! Thank you so much, KQED, for uploading all this wonderful content, et surtout, MERCI, CHER MONSIEUR, de nous avoir tant appris, de la technique plus formelle aux petites astuces de tous les jours, toujours dans la bonne humeur, toujours sans prétention. Santé et paix à vous et à votre famille, et meilleures salutations, depuis Montréal !
