- With four decades on television and two dozen cookbooks, chef Jacques Pépin has been influencing American tastes and techniques for generations. Jane Pauley talks with Pépin about his culinary education, which began in Lyon, France at age 13. Seventy years later, he still loves giving cooking demonstrations, with an emphasis on the basics being the foundation for good, great or masterful cooking.
I studied under him for one year. He is bigger than life and the best culinary teacher ever. He gave one valuable advice, he told me if you want to succeed in this industry you must travel around the world and study and work under as many different chefs possible, as I was preparing for my CMC certification (Certified Master Chef) conducted by the American culinary Federation), and for that, I owe him all my achievements in the industry. Thank you Chef Pepin for sharing your knowledge with me and many others.
Shibli Ziadeh I am just a humble amateur house cook. I seen all his videos, cutting techniques and such. I can cut super fast and accurate now without any efforts .
The man is a genius, he is so able to relay very detailed important information. Without over glorifying it all .
Love it , I am super jealous you had the honor to stand in his presence and see first hand .
Shibli Ziadeh Yeah right. I call BS.
@@albertledesma5173 Get a life.
Jon G HAHAHA!! Um.....ok. Go be offended somewhere else snowflake. 😂😂😂
@@albertledesma5173 You're the one acting triggered over nothing. 😂
He is SO adorable! Thank you for this!
Loved this story! Cleaning up is also most important!
Love this man, he’s just awesome!
Lol! I am a messy cook so if someone in my house would offer to clean up I would definitely think it was an act of love!
We’re so lucky he immigrated to the United States! What a great ambassador for French culture and cuisine. Nice story, Sunday Morning.
True, but what is more impressive to me is that his cooking has no borders. He's a classically trained French chef, but cooks food from everywhere, Italy, Spain, Asia, even Southern Creole and Soul Food. He's a once in a generation chef and he cares about good food and good company far more than being "traditional"
Watching him and Julia Child as a child on PBS heavily influenced me to go to culinary school and become a chef. "I don't wash my chicken" ,said with a smile to the camera. I remember watching that and laughing. They were so fun together. He influenced me, this little black girl in SC far more than Julia. I have his cookbooks in my library, not hers. I don't know why. But the man's technique shaped my formative years as a young amateur cook and then as a young chef. Now I teach others when I can. I am so glad he's still around and still cooking.
@Dana Leigh Julia Child was not self taught. She attended Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and studied for a year under a very renowned chef/instructor.
@M L I would suggest washing chicken if you ever shop at Chinese grocery stores. They have weird yellowish stuff underneath the wings and some still have bits of feathers stuck to the skin.
M L Chinese here and my mother is highly disgusted with anyone who doesn’t wash their chicken. And you’d be wrong to say her cooking would be flavorless.
What lovely memories. Thank you for sharing. I, too, loved watching Julia and Jacques. Though I never pursued cooking professionally, it's a hobby of mine that I love. And I adore Jacques.
Chickens are washed at the Factory and spend their time in a watery bag before you buy it. So the question of washing them at home or not is mute
It’s sad that he’s kinda forgotten about by newer generations. So many “TV” celebrity chefs now. He is one of the all time greats that should be cherished always Along with Julia
It will be a sad day when the world loses a treasure like Jacques. Let us appreciate and celebrate him while we still have him. A legend.
I don’t wanna think about that 😢 he’s such a sweet man
Jacques is still going strong. The man is a beast!
My mom and I watched him and Julia Child on PBS religiously every Sunday when I was a teen. They had the best chemistry! I learned so much from them.
I was a little too young for Julie's show at that time. But watching it later, I very much enjoyed her sense of humor. Funny thing about Jacques Pépin, even decades later, his shows do not seem dated at all.
Mr. Pepin mentioned that "It's an act of love to cook for someone." I'd like to add to that it's also an act of love to pick vegetables and fruits all day long just so we all can have food at the most affordable rate. And for that, I want to thank everyone who've come over the border to do us all that most generous favor.
Amen and now exposed to the chemicals 💔
I never get tired of watching reruns of his shows....love his kitchen, recipes, techniques, accent...all of it.
He's such a positive person! Thanks for sharing his story!
Because of this man, I learned to finely cook an omelette, perfect scrambled eggs, love leeks, and like brussel sprouts! (Working on anchovies). I am still learning by watching his shows now. What a treasure he is.
A National treasure!
not only national, a treasure for all mankind
When asked about his passion I thought he would actually say art. The man can draw and paint. Dude is an artist indeed. Jacques Pépin is one of my all-time favorite people.
do you really use the word 'dude' in your daily life???
@Marcel Audubon Depends on the context. You seem to not understand literary devices. Calling a respected older gentleman "dude" emphasizes the statement. One can praise Meryl Streep on an acting performance by saying "Girl killed it." Again, for emphasis. However, Dude and Girl would not be appropriate in other scenarios obviously. Addressing Pépin, you would never say "nice to meet you, dude."
@@tosht2515 the only thing the use of "dude" emphasizes is what a *dullard* the person using it must be ... to pretend it's some sophisticated literary device just emphasizes your deep insecurity
@Marcel Audubon The thing they say about people who are offended easily is true. Good luck with that.
@@tosht2515 no idea what the people in your trailer park say about people who are offended easily ... or was that another literary device?
Thank you Jacques.....a true treasure!!!!!
Such knowledge and experience, and kindness.
They could have mentioned that he has a Masters Degree from Columbia, and teaches at Boston U.
Jacques is so humble, kind, authentic and down to earth, on top of being one of the absolute top chefs in the world. Watching him gives me comfort as if I had a world class French chef for a grandfather showing me how to cook. Can’t explain enough how much I love and appreciate him.
A true icon!
Bar none, Jauques Pepin is my very favorite chef!! And love the accent! 👍
I met Jacques & Julia in the 90’s at their book signing at a culinary shop on California street in San Francisco. They both were the same in person as they appear on the PBS shows and were very gracious in signing my book. A truly wonderful experience.
What a treat! A lovely man.
Love him and his dishes ... thank you for this story.
"Is it an act of love if the only thing you can reliably do is clean up?"
"Yes" he says, while nodding and chuckling.
You gotta love that man.
Great interview Jane, thanks!
Chef Pepin is a treasure and Jane still looks great.
*I used to love watching his cooking show when I was a little girl in the 80’s. Lots of great chefs had shows on PBS back then; Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Justin Wilson, Paul Prudhomme, The Frugal Guormet, Pasquale’s Kitchen, The Urban Peasant, just to name a few. I miss those shows.*
Justin Wilson! My family lived in New Orleans from 1980 to 1990. I am Italian and love cooking but knew nothing of creole cuisin and Justin and his stories. Make me laugh just remembering
...maaaan these were great 👍
I love Jacques Pepin, especially watching him cook with his granddaughter, he's like the adoring the grandpa I never had.
I’ve been watching him since I was a kid!
The master of omelettes
Loved watching Jacques and Julia. Icons of PBS cooking shows.
They were so good together
Jacques Pepin? An American Treasure. Thank you Chef Pepin.
The man is a soulful culinarian legend...love...the primary ingredient.
This is a great feature. I enjoy learning from his videos.
By watching him on pbs Not only I learn how to cook at home I also start practicing to be a better human being, he never was bashful what a genuine human being. Happy life Pe’pin
a beautiful human being he is 🙏🏻
Really cool story. Turned down the white house for Howard Johnson’s. Wow. The series he did with his daughter was the best. She couldn’t do a damn thing right. She said in one episode “I’m going to go set the table”, and he said “yes I think you’d better”🤣
Jacques Pépin is a national treasure. I love watching him cook. It's like watching Michelangelo paint.
I love his style he's so simple yet so full in knowledge. I would love to meet him. I actually have done 3 or 4 of his recipes and they were easy, delicious and beautifully looking. I love u Mr Jaques Pepin ps: butter makes it all better😘
he is so cute
He is simply the best
I have learned from and loved watching and reading Mr. Pepin’s recipes for decades. I often do back and watch again and again to really keep learning! Thank you sir.
Jacques Pepin is a powerful culinary wizard!
The best of the best!!..I like his voice so calm it must have been an awesome experience taking his classes!
I adore this man. Disappointed this was only about six minutes long.
The Michael Jordan of cooking.
Nah, it's the other way round, Jordan is the Pepin of basket ball.😏😁
I grew up watching him, he's one of the people who inspired me to become a chef.
And no snob he. Howard Johnson's! I wondered why the food was so good there! Now I know. Bless him.
Love him
I used to watch him allllll the time growing up! I remember one time he made this caramelized bird cage made out of sugar! I tried to make it and F***ed my mamas pans up 😂😂😂😂
CHEERS TO YOU at Sunday Morning
Great Video Thanks EVERYONE
Absolutely BRILLIANT man. Love him very much. Bless.
Cooking is passion. The act of love is cleaning up and doing the dishes.
His book La Technique really was a game changer when it came out cause it was the first of it's kind with how meticulous it was in illustrating cooking techniques
The best!!! 🔪
Jane Pauly, such a bad actress. Chef is so wonderful, what a funny guy.
Agree. I had to tune her out. How do these people get these cake jobs? Pepin is her opposite.
Pepin the master! And true class act!
Jacques Pepin thank you. One of the Culinary God's.
My favorite chef of all time. I've been watching him since I could childhood.
I wish someone would ask him what did he learn from Julia Child!??
And what did she learn from him!!???
So typical of the likes of what’s her name on CBS, asking Pépin why he should have liked to have been in the cooking profession because he wasn’t paid when training as a youngster. The reason was so obvious. There are other things in life besides money.
It was nice to see Mr. Pepin give great answers, even if some of the questions seemed less than the most dignified. Why did CBS ask a woman who doesn't know how to cook to interview one of the world's leading chefs?
He is just the best.. so sweet!!
We love Jacques. Legend. I have the collection with he and Julia I still watch even though I've seen all of them.
Mr. Pepin has been my inspiration in the kitchen since I was 15 and I'm 45 now. Thank you Mr. Pepin for giving me my love for food and inspiration to try new things. Forever grateful!
Comes across as a really nice guy and I like his vidios
He is a master.
When we lose him the world will be a smaller place. And when that day happens I will call out sick and cry the whole day.
My Frenchman! ❤
Cooking is an act of Love. So many people don't get that.
I'll watch anything that Jacques does and i'm sure to learn something.
Merci beaucoup Jacques! Votre technique nous inspire, Philippe de NY
What a lovely man!
Merci beaucoup monsieur Pepin!!!
And the ladies still try to catch his eye. He is not impressed. He lets us know how his wife likes her eggs!
I love Jacques Pepin.
He and Julia were probably the two greatest influences of my culinarily life. Both so powerful presences in the kitchen.
I feel such peace & what I can only describe as GOODNESS from this entire show. When I'm feeling stressed or tired or sad or frightened about how crazy our country has become (in the last 3 years especially), I can watch a segment & immediately feel grounded in a more hopeful, tranquil place -- plus, I learn a lot! Thank you, Sunday Morning, for the great service you do for all of us. I can't imagine why these videos don't have millions of views.
Love him.
So handsome! Wow!!
Most of my adult life I have watched and enjoyed all of Jacques cooking shows he is the best in my book his knife skills are the most impressive and his explanations of how to prepare something is so easy to follow. His cooking is down home and artistic at the same time. I loved Jacques and Julia together in the kitchen it was so much fun to watch. I love Jacques I feel as though he is family I am sure so many viewers feel that way after being in our lives for so long .
Fantastic, thank you for this.
I wish she would have him about Gloria...
King
Odd questions here and there but all my kudos to chef Jacques Pépin!
Love his shows. I have many of his cook books
An amazing man and an awesome chef. Many fond memories watching him on TV for decades.
Still great after all these years.
I wonder if ever in his life he’s eaten instant noodles or like a frozen burrito.
I believe Jacques has said that he even enjoys McDonald occasionally.
Jacques is the best!
A true legend!
A treasure!
You can't become creative until you have mastered your craft through conformity to its tradition.
Merci.🍾🥂🥗🍴🇫🇷
He is amazing. A great teacher.
I used to fuss over cooking, now I do the minimum to get food from the pan to the table
Wonderful post
Cleaning up in the kitchen is a huge act of love!
I ADORE READING
Good man!
Our local PBS station in SF wouldn't be the same without Jacques. The other comments below about his being a national treasure are so very true. Thank you CBS for putting him (& Julia) front & center this Thanksgiving. (& where would we be without this wonderful immigrant to our country -- thank goodness Trump wasn't in office back then.)
