Sole-ful Suppertime: Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way | KQED

Minute Recipe: Goat Cheese Toast.
Jacques makes the sweet, nutty flavors of winter squash tickle the palate with a warm and creamy Butternut Squash Velvet whilst he admits to supplying his brother with seeds of this New World squash. Blossoming roses of creamy fish in Fillet of Sole With Mushroom Sauce are paired with Peas, Mushrooms and Endive along with tips to help keep your sauce from breaking. The meal ends with an unusual combination of Seckel Pears in Coffee and a grated chocolate garnish.

Others are merely cooks. Jacques is a master chef.

"when it's lightly burn, you call it caramelized" I love him!

[@fifermcgee5971]

He's a national treasure. Enjoy his videos so much.

[@joannaedwards6325]

About making mistakes I think Julia said, NEVER COMPLAIN, NEVER EXPLAIN. So . . . . slightly burned =caramelized. I want Jacques to live to 100. I simply adore this handsome man.

[@katwomanfour5261]

Yes! That's what it is called caramelized!! Or caramelization!!

[@mikeinkc]

Everytime I watch Pepin my cooking goes up a notch.

[@theoneaboveall6768]

I’m at level 9000 now 🤣😂 do you know how much woman loves a man that can cook 🤣🤦‍♂️ it’s crazy I don’t even go out to restaurant that much I literally cook and it’s crazy how Me Pépin help me without knowing it tho I’m sure he knows he helped ppl without seeing them. He made cooking fun

[@rustydog1236]

I like the way he remembers Julia. I don't think that was scripted...

How perfect is he Cooking has to be cooked with love. but now of course ! "HAPPY COOKING" I Love when he finishes with a nice glass of wine and says that👨‍🍳🍞🍛🍤🥐🍝🍜🍲👨‍🍳📛📛thank you Jacque for many years of watching you and I pray you will continue to do so

[@sharkchode3396]

I feel this is one of the most honest shows I've seen in my life. I owe this week to Jacques Pepin for being such an entertaining cooking host without having to try.

[@alexscott730]

[@gwynaethatwood-pettit6498]

I like to stab the butternut squash several times all over. Cook in the microwave for a bout 20 minutes or so. When it’s soft take it out scoop all the insides out so then you don’t have to peel the skin.

[@kqed]

That's a great tip! Thank you.

[@fun_ghoul]

I use the oven rather than the microwave, to the same effect. It works best with the cut faces of the squash facing downward, thereby also steaming the squash.

[@carolO22]

"Sole-ful" I thought I was about to watch him fry up some chicken and cook some cabbage 😂 I was pleasantly surprised with his recipes. My favorite chef ever! God bless him🙏🏼

[@nicoloalbinelli4468]

I love spent time to watch Jacques's recipe and dry to remake them .

[@JohnAckerman93]

Jacques and Julia have to be my favorite chefs. I grew up watching their program Julia and Jacques cooking at home on PBS. No one will ever be able to replace these two great chefs. Thank you Jacques for showing us such great dishes and great kitchen techniques

[@christinalopez6564]

John Ackerman I couldn't have said it better myself! now you get reality TV chefs.I make sure the younger ones in the family know what a good meal is & how important it is to sit down with family & freinds, I make it special even if it's me & my niece or grand baby. I truly have him to thank for his special tips and techniques which makes it very special. to see their faces light up it's priceless. I know exactly what you're saying because I grew up watching Julia Child all my life and I was a little pipsqueak and thanks to my mother I've learned from another master. I truly miss this man he is a master!!!!! Nothing like we see today, he is truly excellent and my eyes, stomach and heart. so I thank him also my Mother &Julia .Thank God we would come home from school & my mother God bless her soul we would have something new @ least 2-3 × a week! God bless you😇 I so appreciate them all-Mom, Julia & yes of course Jacqes!👍

[@bartonpercival3216]

I grew up in the SF Bay Area watching him and Julia on KQED Channel 9. And in 1991 I met Jacques & Julia at Williams & Sonoma in Laurel Village on California street in SF at a book signing. And Mr. Pepin was exactly the very same in person as he is on tv. 👍

[@behringerm]

At 9:00 is the most perfect shot I have ever seen of “heat until the oil is shimmering.” Usually it is a side shot and you cannot see the variations in heat that makes the the oil “shimmer”.

[@yurapit88]

When pepin chops, he does so through my soul.

[@desireedoan9267]

His knife skills are premium I love when he cores an apple it's like a machine he has been cooking professional since he was 13 WOW

[@David16429]

Fancy, chateau faucet is my favorite!

[@FishHeadBiologist]

Watching Pepin cook is Rembrandt art in the making...

[@ChatBot1337]

I like Jacques' educational programs. Educating Americans in the metric system by equating one cup of wine to a third of a bottle is a great way to visualize it. 😆

[@lindabarrett6471]

He loves to cook and it shows. And that pear! Oh my!

[@shadowfaxx1]

One of the few actual chefs on tv (chops, slices, dices, etc.). Most are just "dump and stir" cooks.

[@fun_ghoul]

"Chef" is the boss of a kitchen, not an honorific. In this context, Jacques is a home cook.

The best part of the show was the minute recipes. So easy to make. So many entertaining ideas.

[@MottiShneor]

I do this butter-squash soup regularly (30 years before I even heard of Mr. Pépin) And I have few notes. First, This soup can be done with almost zero calories - if you SKIP the stock in favor of only water, and put half-carrot half-squash (adds sweetness, and thickness) and use tiny amount of oil (or none at all in a nonstick pot) in the beginning for the onion and leak. To finish it - I use a tiny 15gr cube of butter, which adds in lots of taste and much less calories than the cream. We season it with half-teaspoon of ground WHITE pepper, which adds that tiny spiciness that "wakes up" the soup. Second - for the BEST garnish on top, (in place of those chopped nuts and oil) take handful of peeled butter-squash SEEDS and roast them lightly on a clean pan (no oil) and low temperature. It takes 3-4 minutes. ATTENTION when roasting, the seeds blow a little and pop, a bit like pop-corn, and sometimes "jump" out of the pan you can't completely cover the pan because you don't want humidity there - but add a loose cover to stop them from running away. The roasted seed taste is a concentrate of the butter-squash aroma, and it plays wonderfully in the soup. just throw in 10 of them on the soup when you serve it. Thanks again to Mr. Pépin, and his great take on cooking.

I love the fact he makes a full meal appetizer main course and dessert love it love it love it love it!!!!! And that goat cheese baguette definitely throwing up in the oven while I'm cooking to hush everybody up with a glass of wine. that would be great to have just before you serve New York strip oh my goodness my mind is going all over the place and my stomach is in a happy place and isn't me but the music in the beginning it just makes me so happy because I know he's going to make something wonderful it reminds me of the Peanuts gang!!!! Charles Schulz I just love it🎹🎵🎹🎶🎵 say what you want to say Jacques Pepin makes me very happy the possibilities are endless!!!!!! I sure do miss your face I love watching him every Saturday morning now you get informationals????? Who would have ever thought the times they are a changing!!!! God bless you Jacque Pepin!!!

It's a pleasure to watch people who love what they're doing. It's calming and easy on the eyes. His food looks delicious. So different from today's young chefs. Having a pleasing personality is STILL important even in rough-n-tough 2012...especially in 2012!

What an amazing meal. My ONLY concern is serving a mushroom sauce with MORE mushrooms in the veg. I just wouldn't be confident enough in myself to do that. But I bet if I were lucky enough to be a guest of Jacques', and he served that...I would easily deem it the best meal I had ever eaten. I love, love, LOVE Jacques!

Everybody wins because they're DIFFERENT. But in my book it would always be chefs like Jacques Pepin and Julia Child even I like Alice Waters because these chefs bring a certain hear & soul to their food which is set-apart and incomparable. Then when eating their food I would like to listen to some clsssic Jazz like vintage Oscar Peterson or Erroll Garner or Ahmad Jamal. HEAVEN, SHEER HEAVEN. DIVINE food and music. Let it be on a hill in Jerusalem, Israel or in Berkeley, CA or Sausalito, CA.
