Love this intro!!!

[@kqed]

It's so soothing.

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Totally

[@chrisgomes2554]

Love the montage of foraging.

[@harveywainapel1497]

I played saxophone on this show’s theme music.

[@I.amthatrealJuan]

@@harveywainapel1497 Great playing

[@jacobhearns9724]

Jacques and Julia=National Treasures

[@meatfaceb2047]

He makes all that look easy. It’s easy for him because he’s a wizard.

[@bigpoppa1234]

I'm going to cook a four course meal in 25 minutes. And to show you I'm serious I have 22 minutes, and will spend 2 of them making a rose out of tomato skin.

[@joshuaeaton6478]

I want to share this but you can’t share comments. Lol.

[@TBrl8]

Bit of a legend is old Jacque.

[@ColleenCupido]

Bon voyage. Pack shorts

[@antikoerper256]

I used to watch his shows with my late grandma. Very fond memories. Learned a whole lot from him, he's a treasure!

[@akashsomvanshi007]

😊😮😊

[@Shteeeeeeeve]

I recently finished his autobiography "the apprentice". Fantastic, fantastic read. He's led such an interesting life.

[@at-ge5te]

Yes. I got it a couple months ago. Great recipes as well

[@algini12]

@@at-ge5te Pretty funny you should say that. My next recipe will be from that book. Roast Leg of Lamb that he made for Charles DeGaul's family. What amazed me is that this recipe from the 1950's is just as simple as others he makes today.

[@ARIZJOE]

Yes, and a very hard life early on. Jacques has really worked hard, and with great insight. Like with Howard Johnson's. The guy has learned and adapted. We should all strive for that.

[@rodneyalaking8241]

Great book full of life lessons.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

How fun that he was a ski instructor as well as a classically trained chef!

[@djmaxipad6238]

Jacques riding his bike & foraging for mushrooms is giving meeee liiiiiiiiife

[@jonathannagel7427]

Those leaves “that’s not a bad idea,” best words ever!!!

[@ovcar0322]

Everything about this show is just spot on!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

My mother was my first cooking teacher and she loved to emphasize first, that the recipe is just a suggestion and also, that cooking can be as enjoyable as eating when you do it right. I was blown away years later when I found Jacques Pépin saying the exact same things on my local PBS station.

[@williamwatterson8711]

His seemingly effortless efficiency is a wonder to behold!

[@DSmith-gs4tr]

Jacques Pepin is like a magician with that knife. I could just watch him cutting and slicing things all day and be happy.

[@flarica64]

I know right! I think he has the best cutting techniques of all the chefs I watch in YT.

[@thetr00per30]

You can really see how much fun he was having doing this. That is why he is so loved. This isn't a job it is his passion, and it is easy to see. I always enjoy learning from him

[@psych0m1n1]

Classics 90's Home brewed public access intros. Love it!

[@deezydeuce]

Riding your bike on the train tracks FTW!

[@messey12]

Thank you for leaving in the intro.

[@daimagicfan]

That intro is the most epic thing ive ever seen !

[@ThomasDickson3]

That Intro took me back to my childhood in the early 80's watching a lot of PBS.

[@bridaw8557]

Me too. Watching Julia and Jacques was such a special treat. ❤

[@billb5690]

Jacques is the GOAT!!!!

[@at-ge5te]

That little smile while cutting the bread at the end. Im guessing he saw the camera crew drooling 🤣

[@charleshalsey548]

Sets a timer ...O the timer was wrong....delicious!

[@darinwade1973]

Thank you Pepin for many years of ingenuity of healthiest french home cooking and preparation which gave us americans passion for french culture and teaching us how to make bread and crackers

[@RBernsCarter]

Only just discovered JP (thanks KZbin algorithm!), he is virtually unknown I think in the UK but I wish he wasn’t, his food always looks so good and I am going to try so many of his recipes 😋

[@irishktnd]

Love his old TV shows!! Will he be doing anymore quick ones in his house kitchen? I really enjoyed those. Blessings to JP and family

[@CreativeCookingVideos]

Me too, I have watched every video ever made with him in it. He's a true inspiration!

[@TheHollywoodCrone]

Monsieur Pepin: you are a genius! I could watch you forever!

[@act4666]

This was the very first cooking show with Jacques I saw!!! Wonderful chef and human being!!

[@techhelpwizardgenie3146]

Tried this onion cutting technique after seeing it here. AWESOME. This and other Jacques Pepin content are very good.

[@mwm242]

JP seining for minnows is the video clip I didn't know I needed in my life. OG

[@willrall869]

This is a real man ,beloved his work ,I have so much respect for this man and chef.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Fast Food His Way. The Beginning. Love it!

[@veronicabell6652]

This is my yoga zen zone and I have beautiful dishes to eat at the end of class.😊❤

[@August222]

JP is one of my greatest teachers. But I have to call out the twenty two minute myth: that mise en place would have taken me at least twenty minutes to put together.

[@mrpiccolo23]

"If it smells good underneath, this is the one I choose." I tend to agree! 😂

[@franciscozahradnik8040]

I love old style cooking. No oysters with truffle or smoked salmon with caviar.

[@debbiezullo7056]

A legend forever 🥂 Thank you Jacques ❤️

[@Excelgam]

Life in the late 80s/early 90s was fantastic.

[@ARIZJOE]

Love the idea of the bulgur wheat. Europeans utilize different grains. Jack makes it interesting. This meal is perfect.

[@bridaw8557]

My mother studied some at le Cordon Bleu while my Dad was doing his post doc at Sorbonne. She was in France 2 years. Never worked as a professional chef but she was amazing. She cooked Bulgar wheat pilaf in an enamel crock (Burt orange) and it makes me tear up thinking of all she taught me about French cuisine. Jacques and Julia were her favorites on PBS. We watched together. I’m now getting back into cooking in this way. It’s all flooding back. Thank you Mom! I miss you❤

[@winmod70]

I have to allot 22 minutes just to do all of the prep work :) JP is my favorite chef to watch on KZbin.

[@paulpaul4681]

Its so refreshing to watch tv shows before 'product placement' and advertising took over

[@SFforlife]

Such a great episode. The amount and quality of food prepared was simply amazing! It all looked so delicious and so perfectly presented. I’d love to try this at home. Jacques is a great companion and teacher to have when learning how to cook.

[@jody024]

Love that red Golf in the intro!

[@generic53]

G.O.A.T.

[@tapio111]

Absolute master class..

[@MrChristian]

Simply a master and a fine gentleman too!!

[@sameoldsteph]

These are so great - thank you for uploading! Jacques Pepin is the master.

[@loveliejoseph6239]

Timeless Classics thank god for KZbin the legendary Jacque Pepin,The late Julia Childs,Martin Yan, The Frugal Gourmet,and Chiao Italia will forever be my favorite tv cooking shows.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Bravo.

COOKIN WITH HENNY. LOVE THIS DUDE

[@iamburl2667]

You sir are incredible thank you you are so very talented, humble thank s to you

[@at-ge5te]

Another delicious looking menu. I myself would have tasted the cognac, Make sure its still good😉

[@kqed]

Better safe than sorry 🍹

[@jeniferschultz1804]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bridaw8557]

Mais,bien sur😂

[@pookienumnums]

Even though the timer went off a bit early, your guests could be eating the shrims and tomato salad giving you enough time to finish up the lamb. Safe to say it was about 25 minutes.

[@mrpiccolo23]

shrims, lol

[@stevep5408]

A nice medium rare lamb chop holds its own against beef!

[@bartonpercival3216]

I agree, and with a nice baked potato with chilled sour cream and chives!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍😃

[@noa29Enib]

The timing can fit only if you're able to cut as fast as he does ^^ Great lesson :D

[@markgebo197]

Non stick pan with metal utensils, my wife would beat me. 🤣

[@stevefowler3398]

That was the OLDE DAYES Mark. Nobody uses non stick any more. Best wishes from 2021.

[@jelsner5077]

Wow. Just wow.

[@thisarfingai]

this is absolutely phenomenal.

[@leventemore3205]

Legend Chèf 👍

[@garrygosney2455]

I can only say 1 word ...... AWESOME

[@byronrudrow7938]

Chef’s hair was brown. I remember when my hair was brown. With enough Cognac you might forget and not worry about the dishes! Great meal!👍🤣👍

[@JoeJoe-sw6zy]

Thank so much 🙂👍👏🙏

Love it!

Astounding!

[@flarica64]

All the food looks amazing. I am going to make this recipe.😋

[@jamesschilling2934]

Delightful!

[@richardcorsillo9819]

That timer was rigged!! Anyways... The key to the kitchen is preparedness. Mise en place, clean cooking space, an understanding of how you will clean... Mise en place in the morning is one of my suggestions

[@GabrielHernandez-kb9ss]

Inspirational

[@jibbacraftteamplays1282]

Someone somewhere needs to do lifetime in television montage of all the “very often times” and “5, 5, 10 minute”.

[@Poemsapennyeach]

Oh...I did enjoy that video....colours !!

[@sjt275]

His cutting skills are quite frightening he would have made a great surgeon !

[@k9m42]

It is getting harder to find American lamb these days which is the best. Pink meat and lovely mild flavor. Only Australian which taste like the fish meal which they are fed prior to slaughter.

[@ceciliapreziose3783]

you are amazing!

[@dave623]

Wow, I want to make everything he makes, every episode. So good. (And if I had my staff take 3 hours to prep everything in advance I could do it in 25 minutes too!)

[@marquiswilliams6082]

The confidence is unreal

[@user-ch7mn1kj4b]

Happiness!

[@TheRealChetManley]

The master...

[@LarryDoolittle]

Please release the Essential Pepin cooking video so we can watch them without a DVD player. Please!

[@TheHikuky]

You still the best 👌9

[@sherrykendrick1765]

I've never tried lamb chops but my mother loved them.She lived in another state so i never knew how she prepared them. She's dead and gone now.

[@TheMaverick-zo5kv]

Nostalgic....Watching on a Saturday afternoon on PUBLIC TV and not wanting it to be over because next up is the boring guy who travels throughout Europe.😜

[@bridaw8557]

LOL yes. The Saturday’s with Jacques and Julia. Boring guy…lots are boing on PBS, but do you mean Rick Steves? I forgot if there was another guy. 😂. 🤓

[@Exdash0]

This is the bob ross of cooking.

[@ryanlars33]

[@frankcastle5737]

This and BBQ University 😋

[@isk610]

[@quad1000]

Everything this guy ever cooks looks like it's ready for a photoshoot by the end.

[@darinwade1973]

Pepin was the signiture french home cooking his fame broke out with the most healthiest french home cooking especially lamb chops and artichokes which made his fame artichokes is best for digestive health of pork other fatty meats..

[@jorgeshicken]

[@margaretlittle6800]
