About Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home:

[konstantinivanov]

He knows exactly what smelling the grinder will do and he still does it every time. Legend.

[Innocuus]

Rustic practicality as always. Jacques continues to share his mastery with us ❤

[kqed]

There's something about watching Jacques shelling peas that is so soothing...

[LIZZIE-lizzie]

And Peas are my favorite vegetable, too? Steamed or cooked Lettuce is delicious. It's nice and sweet.
Thank you !!

Looks amazing. But the best flavor in the world is popping open those pods and eating the peas raw, right out of the shell. When I grew peas, most of them never even made it inside my house because I would sit outside and pick the pods off the vines and eat them right there.

Simple fresh and delicious.Happy cooking!

Horror story from my 1950s childhood. Mom was away, Dad was cook. He was a decent cook but we had a new fangled device called a pressure cooker and he decided to try it out for the first time on fresh from the garden peas. You can only imagine the horrid result, we both learned!

[michaeldagel]

Jacques Pépin is an international treasure.

[roncaruso]

A great healthy side dish from the master.

[johnlord]

Don;'t waste the pea pods. Separate into 2 pieces and steam. A great pea pod SALAD with other greens, beet and radish matchstick slices, ... all is good !

[stateniland]

I always throw some pasta in with the peas and greens and make it my dressing with boiled shrimp

[griffcrammond]

just across the Channel, we give you mushy peas.

One of my favorite appetizers is Pissaladiere. I make it regularly and would love to your take on it.
Merci

Looks tasty! Speaking of greens, two of my favorite videos from Jacques Pépin are the “Fridge” soup and salad, respectively; the peas in this episode is another way to enjoy for lunch or dinner!

[jcompton]

I like when he smells his grinder. I like to smell things too. Love from Canada ❤

[andrewward]

I think Jacques has also published a video where he makes a soup from the shells. Waste nothing!
