The only thing I come close to in the kitchen with him is that I use the same sponge

[happyfisherman]

i have been a professional chef for 35 years and I still learn from chef Pepin. the man is kitchen royalty

[Sinic]

87 and he is still teaching. I enjoy these videos.

[jmb]

The love of my life recently passed....we watched Jacques Pepin together 30 years ago...and we bonded over the joy of cooking. I will forever love Jacques for all the happy memories he created for me. Watching him feels like home.

[amymiller]

My heart melts when Jacques gets so much delight from egg-spinning. 💗🥚

[dmarkj]

Of all the videos on how to boil an egg I feel like I can trust Jacques the most simply because he’s been doing it for so long. Dude knows what he’s talking about.

[Lenny_Melzer]

I love the fact that after countless events, television programs, and achievements worldwide, the man still has a genuine joy for cooking. That final bit with the spinning eggs made my day. 😁

[nickhell]

This mans videos/programs should be on every public TV in the world, everyday. As a service to the community. The new generations can barely cook processed dishes in a microwave.

[ReeseTimm]

I think the 'kid' is Chef Pépin, at heart :)
Merci Chef Pépin

[kevinkim]

I love that he explains why things are done that way. Learned something new today!

[lukthere]

I don't know if he sees these comments. But he is one of the greatest cooking inspirations in my life, learned so much from him. What a legend! Thank you!

[roncaruso]

There is not one cook on TV that knows how to create such perfect eggs. Peppin is a Master chef.

[bewill]

Jacques Pépin is a National Treasure. His warm spirit & deep knowledge have guided countless people to not fear the kitchen. ❤

[mrwaterghost]

Pepin is The Man. And even that underestimates him. "The kids love that!" he says. Yeah. I've got your number, Kiddo. You're the kid in the kitchen. And that's why your wonderful.

[michaelrchan]

This is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, straight-forward things I have seen in such a long time. No gimmicks. No tricks. Science and technique.

[KateCarew]

He’s simply the best teacher! He knows it all, but never acts like he’s THE trove of knowledge.
He’s a treasure and I just adore him!!
Decades of adoration 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I see his hands…I see how stiff he is and my heart breaks knowing he must wake up in pain and yet he gets up, he keeps going and I don’t know. Sigh. I’m sure he misses his wife but I’m also certain he knows his daughter and granddaughter love him too. I hate the idea of him being alone…there’s something about those hands. So strong and skilled, seeing his veins and the fragility belying so much dexterity it just wrecks me.
His elbows and shoulders too. I tell myself he’s okay with what time has done, he’s (by objective standards) had a great life, I hope and pray he feels at ease with time.

[dr.braxygilkeycruises]

I have been cooking for 50 years, and my oldest son is a chef, yet I just watched this video and learned FIVE new things!!!! Chef Jacques is always a wonderful teacher and I appreciate this video!!! 🤗🥰

[mohitmorris]

Some are Pros chefs, some are Teachers, and many times, pros chefs are not teachers and vice versa. But once, very seldom, there comes along someone like Chef Jacques Pepin, a complete package .... Salute to a Pro Chef and a Fantastic Teacher!

[krzykris]

I worked as a line cook and a prep cook from the age of 15 until 20. I was taught all of these techniques, but never the science behind it. Love it.

[tomrohan]

That an expert advice.. thanks a ton Sir❤
