What I love about Jaques compared to other celebrity chefs and especially compared to other KZbin cooks, is he makes cooking more approachable for small families like our (2-3 family members). He also does it for the average family out there as well. He’s not about going out and looking for the most expensive ingredients, or the largest ingredients either. He’s looking to cook the more humble dishes, and he’s more of a humble person. At least that’s the vibe I get from his videos. Also he’s not afraid to make a mistake, and he also uses what he has on hand. That’s the mark of a great chef! We need more people like him today!

[@rikkitikkitavi997]

He uses the best stuff, he just doesn’t brag about it. He also has a calm voice of assurance that I can make the dish too. Never judgy like a lot of TV chefs.

[@philipandrewurbano3207]

Yeah, compared to Gordon Ramsay.

[@davidwilliams8405]

I concur, well said! The man is a chef and a gentleman, the best that France has to offer1

[@NateAlmeida]

Jacques is everything good in the world. He and Mr. Rogers have taught me how to exist as a human being.

[@m1169199]

You mean uncle Rodger?

It's great to see Jacques Pepin do what he does best. A true talent in the kitchen.

[@jimbehr2291]

Waow.... I've never seen a comment like this before. Can I take a picture of it?

[@paulsmith6616]

Once again I am reassured by Chef Pepin. His approach is always so calm and fatherly.

[@irishktnd]

Love Him!! Always look forward to watching him! The Best Teacher

[@myraholmes8702]

I could watch Jacques cook anything. He's the best.

[@leonstevens1382]

It’s a relief to see a recipe that doesn’t require cooking sprouts until they’re black, ashen and leathery. Thank you!

[@markmillers4491]

Martian brains and bacon, yum!

[@mastod0n1]

What a time to be alive where a famous and influential chef like Jacques Pépin is making instructional videos on KZbin for the average joe to learn from. Amazing.

[@jamestimmerman7519]

You are a chef for us common people. Be safe and never change.

[@Camellia303]

Never thought of cutting Brussels sprouts this way. Now will do!

[@joannaedwards6325]

Going to market today. Brussel sprouts here I come.

He is the best! I would donate my years to someone like him!

[@mirrorblue100]

Two ingredients, one pan - perfect. Thanks.

Odd, I was just thinking about Brussels sprouts this morning. Sounds so good Chef. You’re the man.

[@dww2006]

I agree with Nate. I love him. I’m so sad he lost his wife earlier this year. He clearly loved her

[@gordonmacdonald299]

3 ingredients and even I can do this... thank you Jacques

[@N8MLK]

I have noticed on KQED's channel Chef Pepin' has not posted any new cooking from home videos in a while. I hope he is well. Love watching him cook in his home.

[@bblaylk]

This is a great technique! If you try it once, you'll be addicted, it's just delicious!

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

I always par boiled them, then shocked in ice water but I will try this thin slice method. I like shallots and a bit of basalmic to finish...yum

[@ZBillions23]

That's brilliant chef! I have honestly never thought about slicing brussel sprouts. Definitely will be doing that.

[@randyrussell6246]

Just when I thought I'd done all that could be done with Brussel sprouts

[@pangdogmichael]

Also nice in salad when it’s sliced thinly

[@fabricetremblay9023]

Cher Jacques Pépin, vous êtes le meilleur !! 🙂

[@Jackoderes]

I have been looking at countless Brussel sprouts recipes lately to find ideas, but the idea of dicing the sprouts finely before browning them in a pan in a genius move I haven't seen anywhere else. Increasing the browsable surface area means increasing flavor! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kqed]

Let us know how they turn out!

[@Jackoderes]

@@kqed They turned out great! I added an orange juice, white wine, and maple syrup glaze to them and it turned out perfect.

I think he could put molten lava in his mouth and say, "It's just a little warm."

[@jerrellallen6271]

i would cook this longer probably

[@johnrand9799]

i like watching you on my local PBS. Your food is really fancy but it always looks delicious and yummy.

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@MakeYourFTs]

It's nice to see a video like this and a world class chef just keeping it simple. Not 100 ingredients and 10 things that someone at home isn't going to have in the pantry. Just fantastic.

[@TomasLaverty1000]

The master of elegantly simple.

[@ZachsMind]

I'm not a big fan of brussel sprouts, but obviously I haven't been served properly prepared brussel sprouts. This looks absolutely amazing. Everything goes better with bacon!

[@georgeneckrock7575]

What a great way to start a day !!!! He makes it look so easy 💯💯💯

[@marcelmann3218]

this particular recipe is actually easy to do ...

I don't fancy brussel sprouts but I would eat them merely because Chef Pepin prepared them.

[@mkenne14]

Love this guy!

[@ShinyyYue]

So simple and good!

[@byronrudrow7938]

I love Brussels Sprouts! But I think a one to one ratio of bacon to sprouts would really enhance this dish. Also you could leave out the olive oil. Why contaminate the bacon fat with something healthy like olive oil??? You are a wonderful teacher!!!👍🤣👍

[@ChuckMarteau]

Unpretentious food by an unpretentious man of great experience.

😋 yum. I wonder if deglazing the pan would be ideal over adding that bit of water or oil. Hey those juicy bits at the bottom. Delicious side dish for any meal.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Jacques cooking videos are so easy and simple to understand and they look so good! Thank you. I hate Brussel Sprouts but these look more edible than any I have ever seen, and I imagine this cooking method could be used to cook other veggies as well, like asparagus maybe?

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

That looks delicious and so easy! I think I would be tempted to deglaze the pan with a touch of balsamic vinegar and mix in some honey... 🤤

I was surprised he didn't do anything with the caramelised bacon on the bottom of the pan! Having said that, who am I to question a man of this brilliance.

[@brianm9085]

I add something like a sauvignon blanc to deglaze. And then lots of red pepper flakes. Christmas side for since since 2003 with a rib roast.

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@brianm9085 what a good idea!!

[@136jab]

I like my maillard browning so I probably overcook my brussel sprouts for most people, but I honestly love my oven roasted brussel sprouts with oil, salt and pepper halved in the oven at 450 for 18-20 minutes. I gotta try this too...

That was definitely a French Chef Tablespoon of oil : )
