Seafood Tricks: Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way | KQED

More Jacques Pépin recipes on our website: www.kqed.org/w/morefastfoodmy...
Minute Recipe: Eggs and Anchovies.
Little tricks make life in the kitchen so much easier, and Jacques Pépin is always ready with tips to simplify or speed up a task. Here he pops clams into the freezer for a few minutes to make opening them a breeze for his Baked Clams Madison. Jacques suggests cod as the perfect choice for those who hesitate to cook fish. It stays moist through cooking and, when topped with an olive crust in Cod in Olive-Tomato Crust, it packs a lot of flavor. Skillet Broccoli Bits make a great pairing with the fish. Finally, warm hazelnut-chocolate spread is mixed with ice cream to form the sauce in Mango with Nutella Sauce.

Perhaps a true testament to the way Pepin is regarded in the culinary world was the way that Anthony Bourdain seemed both uber-respectful and a bit intimidated by Pepin. If there was a guy who's ring Bourdain would kiss, it's certainly Pepin's. As well, Pepin's confidence in his [culinary] world is a good lesson re how to bring confidence with healthy ego into one's life.

This gentleman is the Rock of Gibraltar of the cooking world- huge talent, no pretentiousness, and a big heart.

Chef Pepin is simply the best. I love how he brings the old school techniques and recipes to the forefront so that they can continue to live on and not fade away. He's such a joy to watch and learn from.

[@malcontent510]

There's something about Jacques offering that Voltaire quote at the end which gives it more wit, relevance and gravitas. He (JP) shows that creating excellent food is possible for us non-chefs. Thanks to KQED for continuing to present his mastery.

[@Anonymoose]

I do agree! There are few people on KZbin I'll watch for a half hour, but when Jacques finishes a show like this, I'm wishing it was twice as long. And I've cooked some amazing meals based on these recipes. I learn something every time I watch him.

News flash - people knew how to cook in 1980! Pepin is a treasure, and he came up the hard way - read his autobiography. A wonderful cook and a talented amateur artist (see his menus at the Smithsonian). He embodies centuries of Mediterranean culture in an unpretentious and understated charming way.

[@maryprivate1480]

The BEST CHEF I wish I could be his sous chef! What an honor it would BE! OH MY!!!

Chef Pépin is a world class chef, culinary influencer, and dedicated teacher. I've tried many of his "recettes élégantes," but I've always preferred his simple provincial bistro recipes, French comfort food, that bistro food he recreates from cherished childhood memories of his Mother's restaurant. He does it with such humble love for his family. Chef Pépin is the real deal.

[@JimBobTheDestroyer]

And at the very end he pairs a wine with the meal he prepared. A real class act.

[@ss11111ss]

I suspect if I tried that, I'd have only a mixture of ketchup, mayo, Tabasco and egg.

I love his recipe for hard boiled eggs Jeanette, named for his late wife. When I’m stuck for a light meal idea, out come the eggs Jeanette.

[@253tubbs]

To say the least...This Man Is one of the GREATEST CHIEF's in the world. He started with his mother at a very young age and went from there. A person can see how much LOVE he has for food and making people fell good with food. There is nothing better than that.... FOOD...LOVE....MUSIC..ART(which is all Four).

I am currently in training for certification, and I have your Techniques Cookbook, the updated version, which I know is many years old, but that doesn’t matter at all - the basics and fundamentals stay the same. It is helping supplement my learning, and I’m slowly working my way through any teaching videos I can find from you, which is quite a lot. This is the content I’m looking for, but not finding on Food Network (except for Cheft Michael Symon). They feature lots of fantastic chefs, but all the competition shows are a waste and teach us nothing - you are all about the simple basic techniques that apply across the board no matter what you’re cooking. Thank you for still sharing with us today during these trying times.

Scream and holler make a lot of money as far as cooking not so much but it's amazing how their self-proclaimed experts and world- renowned chefs via social media give them a big boost!!! Jacques Pepin is so delightful to see he has a charm and Delight that's comforting in the kitchen and gives you some of the techniques and tips that only your mother knew!!! And instead of hollering and cursing he encourages you ever so gently to make awesome blow your mind dishes that you wouldn't even think you could possibly do and that you can't wait to make he actually encourages you without a loan kids deserve so many medals and awards I'm sure he has many most important way a very special place in my heart. I don't know how I found him but it just happened to pop into my mind and Bam here he is no punt intended Emeril Lagasse!!!! the other thing that is so special with him and Julia Child and Yan can cook plus countless others is you actually see steam coming from the pot and fire under the saute pan he's really cooking and it's so refreshing to see! all I can tell you is in Pennsylvania all we get is infomercials on Wellness to sell books they should have never taken the grates off of PBS but if they can make money that's what it's all about I just feel it's a loss especially for this generation it's so important to cook with love for your family and with the ones you love. one of the most essential and meaningful things human beings need especially today but that alone my hat is off to him. it's really refreshing to see him again I can't stop watching and now I can save these make sure you do the same and show them to the younger generations in your family.
