Watching JP cook is like watching an artist paint. Such a wonderful human being.

[@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100]

I love that he’s so accomplished, but still cuts the potatoes mom-style in his hand directly into the bowl. Love seeing these glimpses of Jacque as a home cook!

[@Jeff-ql3tg]

I like how he’s almost out of mustard. “maybe a little less” 😄

[@kaybrown4010]

Jacques is a living legend, the master of simple, elegant, delicious food. ♥️

[@KNByam]

The moment I see chefs talking about some exotic ingredient that I have to search every grocery store for I'm out.

[@richardkashfi6251]

The master what a treasure Jacques is. Ive been enjoying his cooking since I was a little boy. Im 57 now.

[@cindyd.5507]

I have also watched since I can remember and I will be 57 in a couple of weeks Love Jacques , he looks like my dad and talks like my dad my father is french Canadian .

[@billvetter5328]

Me too... 54

[@Maiasatara]

Same here - 55! I’ll add one and say I also remember watching Julia on WGBH after Mr. Rogers. In the days before PBS advertised other shows they played Take 5 by Dave Brubeck between broadcasts. Not a bad way for the under 5 set to pass an afternoon: puppets, French cooking and jazz. 2/3 of that is exactly the same today! ♥️

[@deetngator1624]

Yes I am 63. Grew up watching this genus and Julia Child. Loved it then and love it now. PBS is my cable then and now

[@joannaedwards6325]

FOOD52 Thank you for these times with Jasque Pepin!!!! He is just the most respected and loved chef. So self assured, gentle, calm and pleasant to learn from. MORE. MORE. MORE.

[@michaeljudge5089]

Anybody stressed about learning to cook-just watch this great man.

[@stephanier7811]

Jacques has always been my favorite chef. His recipes are simple, yet elegant. He cooks from the heart and they are recipes we can actually make!

[@900stx7]

I love these videos . He is simply showing you how to prepare a dish. There's no time limit, no one screaming at you, no, you only have three ingredients to prepare a six course meal B.S. So many of the so called "cooking " shows now are such a joke.

[@eddy71454]

The cooking shows that irritate me are the ones against a time clock.

[@jesushuerta1852]

I agree, these vids are relaxing. Yeah, those competition cooking shows all suck. With the exception of the original Iron Chef (Japanese version) I refuse to waste my time watching any of them.

[@FluppiLP]

I am a huge Jacques Pepin fan. As soon as I discovered him I realized how useless the Gordon Ramsays of the world are. They don't show you how to cook but they only seem to want to impress you. Jacques never wants to impress, he just wants to cook and he wants you to share his passion about cooking. I literally cannot get enough of him.

[@willemachternaam690]

To French people, food is a cultural product. To Americans, an invitation to competition.

[@sylviaroberts8103]

Fluppi Can’t stand Gordon Ramsay with his vile language anyway.

[@Mrbink01]

The way he peels and cuts the potatoes reminds me of my grandma.

[@julieloch4332]

My mom too - they both peeled and cut potatoes like that

[@MTMF.london]

This is how I make my potato salad! I even mix the dressing in the (mayo) jar! If there is any left over, I mix in a tin of tuna and that's my lunch next day.

[@andrewherbst1679]

I love JP. His studio is in his home in Madison CT. I grew up close by and was friendly with the 5 kids who lived there back in the day. I was at the home many times. Just old memories but still alive thanks to JP.

[@skypilot177]

I envy you!

[@saber5585]

My Grandmother "being German" basically made the same thing. PS, Her recipe, I just made some for tomorrow.

[@lisawhitfield2794]

OMG, just came across this channel and subscribed immediately. I am a bug fan and have been for years. I am a 56 year old black woman loving on this man❤💘. I love to cook. Anytime someone would ask me, which Chef I would most like to have a meal with: Jacques Pepin I would always say.🍖🍅🍗🍜

[@cindyd.5507]

If Jacques had his own channel and was on 24/7 I would be watching all the time. I love Jacques videos.

[@gruntod9171]

He has full almost daily episodes of Facebook

[@philipselden7264]

He cleans out his jar. I love it! I’m no different when it comes to that.

[@bemusedindian8571]

I am slightly irreverent to famous chef's ideas on "that one special kinda way of doing something". Because of strong ideas of my own ;). I do it with kinda same ingredients and ratios - but with added vinegar and tiny amount of sugar, omit the scallions and serve it cold. I tried it exactly as described above, served it luke warm. Mind blown. Now I realize slowly why Jacques Pépin is a bloody legend.

[@JD-yr6ox]

This man is my hero. I have been watching him for 35 years now and with his recipes and techniques, I have made our friends and family so happy. God bless you Jacques

[@DSmith-gs4tr]

I love seeing him using Hellman's mayo in his dressing. Jacques knows what he's about. Always a pleasure seeing him

[@kevincostello1319]

Julia & Jacques cooking together on PBS. That is what got me hooked a long time ago!

[@qualqui]

I knew of Julia Child, but only until today did I discover Jacques Pépin, was on PBS in the 80s? Maybe he started airing in the 80s?

[@carlajolly2480]

Love to see Jacques. Enjoyed watching him for so long. Thank you❤️

[@cassiegreene9528]

Monsieur Pepin you are a treasure. So glad you made America your home but it is a loss to France! Thank you for many years of excellence and grace. We can all continue to learn from your European upbringing as many Europeans seem to appreciate a slower and more 'homemade' lifestyle. Merci beaucoup. Encore de nombreuses annees pour vous!

[@mponsot]

So much mastery in this little dish! God bless you Jacques!

[@gynandroidhead]

That is an awesome potato salad. The man is an educational genius, a blend of incredible skill and relatability.

Nice to see a REAL chef - Pepin is a treasure!

Sir Pepin I bow humbly before your skill and desire to educate others about the joys of cooking.

JP comes through so often. His demo's with no fancy equipment most people don't have. No impossible to find ingredients. No multiple hours or days of preparation. JP is simple, yet masterful.

The simplicity of this straight forward recipe ,love it no fancy this that or the other,and thank goodness no background NOICE. My favourite.

[@WickedKingLycoan]

Oh Jacques! It’s been so long! I remember watching your cooking shows on Public Television years and years back. You helped inspire my love of cooking, and the love that goes into creating delicious food. I cannot thank you enough. I know that time marches on irregardless...I’ve always thought of you as timeless and will always see the spritely, erudite gentleman of the kitchen and hearth.

[@gil7555]

WickedKingyooan : no Monsieur , please avoid writing FRENCH , FRANCE is féminin no masculin , PÉPIN is a name then why add ' le or la ? ' VIVE LA FRANCE, VIVE PÉPIN ! conclusion, don't be ridiculous..

[@WickedKingLycoan]

Gil 75: Apologies.

[@rafaelocasio6857]

Chef Pepin is such a motivational human being. He shares his beautifully prepared dishes with classic elegance. Most of all, with simplicity. He inspires those of us who are just plain novices at cooking with a can do spirit. Jacques Pepin is rightfully a true legend in the culinary world and is a pure delight to watch as he makes recipes that are born right before our eyes. Viva Jacques!

[@happy_camper]

I am so happy that Jacque has been part of my life since I was a kid. He feels like a member of my family.

[@stevewisniewski5860]

Chef good morning, I love the fact that you’re sharing so many beautiful and simple and inexpensive recipes with us online. My children can watch you and it’s like you’re going to a cooking class and they love it because we can afford most of these items and it’s easy for them to do especially with your patience and the explanation you gave. God bless.

Jacques, so glad to see you on uTube. For many years I've enjoyed your presentations on PBS. Such a gentleman and professional. Thank You. Happy to subscribe.

[@algini12]

Wow, this rocked. Best potato salad I ever had. The chef hasn't failed me in more than 30 years of doing his recipes. The ingredients are easily adjusted to get the tang that you want. This ranks up there at the top with his Charles De Gaul leg of lamb. Or his chicken thighs with a cognac and mushroom sauce. And this was just a potato salad!😋

[@balsamfir1688]

Huge fan of this chef. He seems extraordinarily down to earth
