Macaroni and Cheese with Breadcrumbs | Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home | KQED

[@zavensaroyan5388]

Calls it an American classic. Proceeds to make it better than any American mac and cheese.

[@kremove]

??? This is the traditional way to make it. He exactly described how Americans do it. The only difference is the chives, but even additions are common.

[@babiesmakinbabies]

@@kremove what are you talking about? most americans make it out of a premix box.

[@kremove]

@@babiesmakinbabies yeah, but the ones who actually make it, do it like this (or bake it with the topping, or no topping, like he said). If you eat a frozen pizza, you didn't "make" a pizza, you just heated it up. Same with mac n cheese.

[@Unadapted]

Have you ever eaten American mac and cheese??

[@curtis8080]

@@babiesmakinbabies No we don't. Some do. I've rarely seen anyone I know who does.

[@saxboss1]

Man can you imagine going to Grampa’s house and it’s Jacques Pepin making you mac and cheese?

[@funk3nst3in]

my grandparents made food like this because thats how everyone made food back then. everyone their age learned food like this but it wasn't considered fine dining. their skills today are simple because they didn't have the tools we do today

[@kremove]

@@funk3nst3in not everyone, my grandma could not cook. A lot of people came out of the depression making food that was simple but not delicious. It really set the stage for them and the next generation to mostly eat canned, frozen, and boxed food. I had to learn what real food is. I showed my sibling. We have been trying for years, slowly but surely, to get our mom to eat fresh vegetables and real food. It's much harder than getting a kid to their vegetables. Her mother did not know how to cook like Jacques Pepin. Many people did, but not "everyone".

[@cliffcurrier6342]

No I can't lol

[@steveaustin4013]

I’d feel a little cheated honestly. Nothing wrong with this recipe, it’s just that the man knows so many other dishes you would be hard pressed to get anywhere at the quality he could make them.

[@samuraistabber]

I'd never leave.

[@lflagr]

It's always so funny how Pepin's cooking looks so rustic and simple and homemade, and then, at the very last minute, in the final shot, it always looks so gourmet and elegant lol

[@gabrielesantucci6189]

It's so funny to see a frenchman butchering a plate of pasta! In Italy he would risk prison!😂😂😂

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

It might have something to do with Mr. Pepin running the kitchens at Howard Johnson's for decades. He is a master at making simple preparations look elegant.

[@hr6334]

His granddaughter is so lucky! 🥰

[@derricdueker64]

Time stands still when I look and listen to Jacque.

[@theodore6548]

Nicely put. Do you know this one?: "A recipe is a reflection of one moment in time." Maybe my favorite line of Jacques'.

[@patricklarry6645]

Jacques such a good guy! God bless him!

[@georgeneckrock7575]

So true 🙂🙂

[@billb5690]

Long live Pepin!!!

[@inocenciotensygarcia1012]

I say the same

[@adriaschumann9641]

My precious British mother made the most fabulous Mac and Cheese ever! First of all, she used FIVE different types of cheeses. She mixed milk with real cream to make her roux She used some special spices including nutmeg off the nut. She used white pepper because she once used black pepper and (I was little) thought there were bugs in it! White pepper from that time on. On top, she had breadcrumbs. She also baked the whole thing with the breadcrumbs on top. That's Daphne's mac and cheese and I'm proud to share that. She was an AMAZING cook but this was one recipe I sadly remember because healthy it is not! But once-in-awhile, oh my, it is super delicious.

[@Crotone79]

This man is culinary treasure and the world is better off with him in it!! Thank you Chef!!!

[@user-ve1qk4ib1y]

when the phrase "my grandfather's cooking is the best" is objectively true

[@funk3nst3in]

haha unless jacques is ur papa! yes its good but is your papa pepin!

[@bobbydigital3407]

Only Jacques Pepin can elevate mac and cheese and make it even cooler than it is... You are a living legend and we all absolutely love you! Your wife is smiling down on you! Good Bless you! You should have Claudine pay you a visit! (on camera)

[@cm9439]

Cant get enough of these Jacques videos. Thank you Chef!

we love Jacques

[@naknakacknak]

This is what the Internet is for. He's so enjoyable to watch.

[@georgeneckrock7575]

As Jaques always says everything is open to interpretation!!! Looks so delicious. I'm sure his granddaughter will love it.

[@markdiloreto9042]

We are so fortunate to have you...AND....right here in Connecticut!!

Jacque always rocks. This man is a gift to us all.

[@jacobhearns9724]

Jacques is a National treasure. Right up there with Julia Child.

[@rycoli]

I am taking mac & cheese casserole to a friends house today. I never thought of toasting the bread crumbs by themselves. Perfect! Thank you Jacque! God Bless

[@johncopple6479]

I agree. A simple yet wonderful twist on a dish.👍

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

@@johncopple6479 But not needed if you top it and bake the dish.

[@maryngshwuling9916]

Your grand daughter is so blessed 🌻

[@robynthrifts]

He's so amazing! Jacques sets the timer for the panko for 5 minutes but he's so on top of his kitchen, the panko is in his hand out of the oven as the timer starts to ring. He hasnt worked in a commercial kitchen in decades yet its still ingrained. Hes just the best, nobody compares. Ramsey is great but Jacques is the godfather.

[@discokitty3375]

Classic is right! Jacque you are classy you can cook anything anytime for me. I've been a loyal fan for years 😊 What a lucky granddaughter 💕

[@davidbacon9223]

I'M POOR & TOO TIRED TO COOK!!!..... Jacques Pepin has just raised my respect for mac'n'cheese!..... Man, i feel like a million dollars, now!..... thank you! thank you! thank you, sir! :-)

[@andream7500]

I watched him on TV when I was younger w my mother. He's a great chef!

[@Samurai78420]

I adore this man. For us Chefs and home cooks alike, the world of cooking as we know it will never be the same when he passes. He's given us SO much. The best kind of hero and role model to anyone, regardless of the field.
