Jacques Pepin's Easy and Elegant Seafood Recipes | Essential Pepin | KQED

Jacques Pepin begins the step-by-step recipe with the supreme crustacean, Lobster in Artichoke Hearts. This sets the tone for a show filled with wonderful gifts from the sea. He explains that shrimp is now one of the most consumed seafoods in the country and Shrimp Pané on Watercress is a recipe to make them shine. Jacques used to make Escoffier Quenelles when working with Pierre Franey at the Le Pavillon in New York and now makes them for us using a food processor to make light work of the task. Finally, he waxes poetic on the virtues of one of the ugliest fishes in the sea and makes Monkfish Roulade stuffed full of broccoli rabe.

To use the name Escoffier in a program in the early 21st Century. Jacques is truly the King of cooking.

[@esquibelle]

Have you seen his paintings & the dishware he designs? Pepin is a true Renaissance man.

[@tylerclay5420]

When he pronounces the b at the end of crumb it gives me LIFE.

[@undertaker666dead]

I still love watching Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home

[@allfields]

KQED should showcase more of these later years of cooking. Pepin's old shows like Today's Gourmet uses a lot of dated cooking methods which today's cook doesn't abide by, most importantly the fad of the elimination of fats like butter and whole milk in 90's cuisine.

[@debbiezullo7056]

I love it .. maybe couple tablespoons of wine ah maybe a cup!!!!! I love that man, a true legend forever❤️

[@sidviscus]

Jacques has a quiet but devoted fanbase, and I'm one of them.

[@LarryDoolittle]

Please add more of Essential Pepin cooking videos. Please!

[@purplebutterfly7257]

That monkfish roulade looks so so delicious. 😋

[@Toobula]

I love the idea of cooking the roulade in an oblong deep two-handled pan and serving it in the pan. Now I want a pan like that. All kinds of things could be cooked and served that way! And Jacques, keep tying those "aff itches"!

[@MW-rq5uc]

Me too. He is just so elegant, bright, talented, and on and on. We love you 😍 Jacques, thank you!

[@PhuocNguyen-pw7ew]

Jacques Pepin is truly the prince of cooking . He runs his bare fingers in his food even in the hot pots like a dad runs his fingers in his dear children hair with love . And he has heavy french accent which from time to time he puts his french words along the conversations , that make him very attractif . We love him not only in his cooking but somehow in culturel .😊❤

[@robertneilson7624]

Wow, the crush your garlic tip just changed my life, didn't know about the oils ! This guy is such a great teacher!

[@philbertuglia2203]

I love to watch a Master at work., preparing the fish with such care. Marvelous Master Chef !!

[@mammam4827]

Ur recipes are simply amazing nd i m always smitten by the ingredients u put into them plus ur kitchen background is one of a kind ....that french door half open nd the flower on the wooden tools nd the brick wall nd the wall hangings......i just love ur kitchen nd ur recipes.

[@marylouisegriffin9188]

Admire his work!

[@acondo10]

Jacques: “Two tablespoons of wine, maybe a bit more.” Also Jacques: “Close to a cup of wine.” Me: HERO. ❤

[@katwomanfour5261]

Master of all what a great man been watching him for years. Thank you Jacques! 👨‍🍳🥦🥧🔪🥘🥩🥣🥪🥥🍜🍝🍞🍠🍤🍛

[@marcuscicero9587]

nice job Jacques and God bless

[@antoinemichaels4909]

i never thought about stuffing a monk fish, we usually use it in chowders. great idea

[@marcuscicero9587]

oh that monkfish looks delicious

[@inocenciotensygarcia1012]

[@squishykrishy_]

Jacques is practical and inspires you to cook!

[@afriend621]

[@JesusMartinez-sx2vz]

[@marcuscicero9587]

[@RosemaryGrimes-rl1mp]

You are Amazing !!!!!!!!

[@marikalathem813]

This man is my hero❤

[@2moosepie]

[@gregoriaalvarez3814]

You are the best cookie Mr.pepón🤙

[@vicbanks9079]

what a treasure...

[@katwomanfour5261]

Beautiful lovely recipes Jacque rules,but most of his ingredients I cannot afford unfortunately. If I ever can I would definitely love to try @ least one of these recipes. I don't even own a hand mixer 😂lol.

[@Lunch_Box_74_]

fantastic

[@pontevedra660]

I see that years ago you cooked 'a la Frances'..... Very nice. Sad that you no longer cook this way chef. I grew up with Escoffier ( Argentina) . In my country that is all, well about all, we followed. Merci Chef Pepin. Tres belle.

[@mycenth22]

Delightful

[@martindel1062]

The best JP

[@chantalf9357]

Loved when he added black pepper though he said "Julia would disagree...".

[@derrickclunis4082]

You are a beauty. Very classy ‘dude’

[@dee_dee_place]

I'm absolutely salivating. I can't wait to try these recipes. It's off to the fishmonger for me- LOL. I don't particularly like broccoli rabe. Can frozen spinach be substituted for the broccoli rabe?

[@tititichirca8250]

"Julia would not agree with me"! 🤣

[@nekaylasmith311]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@victoriamilonas1942]

I never saw the point of quenelles or croquettes. Baby food for the very rich. But M. Pepin makes it seem an easy and elegant way of combining types of fish that can't be the stars

[@Divergent_Integral]

Where I live (Netherlands), croquettes are typical poor-people food. Mass produced and then typically sold in coin-operated vending machines, for about an euro a piece.

[@Pat14922]

Looks a bit old school , but taste great , and not bad price wise

[@audreywilliams6533]

@Sid….So am I..❤️🙋🏽‍♀️

[@andrewherbst1679]

I grew up in Madisin Ct. As a young boy i was friendy with the kids that lived in the house were Jacque now does his programs from.

[@sianwarwick633]

Around 23:30, what part of the tomato for the saltembanque sauce for the roulade - the squeezed juice and seed of tomato, or the flesh of the tomato. I doubt I will ever find a monkfish fresh enough to make a roulade

[@jackmartin7668]

that broccollii flower is so juicey. that and the babybroc is brilliant but eh flower/rab is addicticveff .

[@GFariasConductor]

4:52 and a little bit of an egg shell for good measure

[@Samurai78420]

He's like Yoda. For real

[@undertaker666dead]

Artichoke seen like they are more trouble then they are worth.

[@m3gAnac0nda]

Yeah they're a pain. Thankfully, u can get a machine to do it, like with pineapple

[@James-hs3tu]

Skip to 0:48

[@laurapaquette4485]

Me too

[@chapmyers9272]

There is a plane where Jacques can turn an artichoke just so.

[@hvac_tech3]

I bet the production crew love their job as they are left with all the food "left over" food. I will personally volunteer to " get rid" of the food...lol

[@cageybee777]

14:50 😋😋

[@algini12]

!2:00 No Chef, Julia would not pardon you for the black pepper in the mousse instead of the white. She will now haunt you, lol.

[@user-nz1br8zp3h]

Travejo just lost her grandmother

[@jackiecortez1093]

33.

[@lesterscrugs2272]

What I learned: Artichoke is basically useless for a food source.

[@williamthomson638]

I don't eat anything you have to boil alive.

[@pianistajs]

This man and chives. Everywhere chives. Unpretentious food and flavors presented in masterful ways.

[@nikosioannou7100]

Jacques Pepin is a culinary god !! His skills just can not be passed.

[@insaneAlchemyOfeviI]

Jacques Pépin, - the original and the best...

[@dkrumrie123]

When I was a butcher apprentice my mentor told me to watch how jaques ties roasts and in this case the fish. I always tell the new guys in the shop to watch how jaques ties. Love it!

[@infamouskong]

the technique Pepin has is really amazing. I do not plan on making anything from this video but just watching him cook relaxes me.

[@Fulana187]

infamouskong I thought I was the only person who did that lol

[@scottatbc]

Yup - me too! Although I might try to make that shrimp dish.

[@michaellindsay3931]

oooh. try the shrimp mousse! worth it.

[@VICARI0S]

Someone get this man the Nobel Prize, already!

[@tfranc347]

I love it when he says, "change hand".

[@ellenflorida7606]

I love you Mister Pépin !

[@bigbluechevy12345]

9:25 "White wine in there, 2 table spoon..." *Dumps like a cup of wine in the pot* "...maybe a bit more."

[@Qlicky]

I love how everything is his favorite food :).

[@chandrajones711]

Love his accent. AND the fact he can cook is a bonus!

[@Doggerhosen]

I just love humble chefs

[@stoyantsalev3109]

[@LarryDoolittle]

[@dmblum1]

I don't have a food processor but this show makes me want to buy one. I love quenelles. In France you can buy them in cans. but of course the best are in restaurants.

[@TMB247]

This is SO SAVED

[@JOnTHeMOnSoon]

He was the dean in my school before I gratuated, he's definitely one of the greats! Still dnt knw how he makes everything look so easy xD

[@roman14032]

he makes it look easy because,for him, it is easy if you did it 12hrs a day everyday for 50 years it would be easy for you too

[@JOnTHeMOnSoon]

roman14032 True

[@TMB247]

If I tried to do what he does my new nick name would be "stumpy"
