      you grabbed the words from my mouth. this is exactly why I love Jacques Pepin. He skills are impressive but he's not a show off.
      He really enjoys sharing the knowledge he has acquired all through his life. He's happy to teach. He's happy with the art of cooking.
      He does not need your adoration, even though people give it to him.
      Humility and modesty coming from a man who grew up during hard times.
      He said those times were hard but he was happy. That's his personality right there.
      He might ask you -- Michellin stars? What stars? He does not care about trifle things like that.

      Met Jacque when he had lost his following there for a while. He was doing cooking shows at small venues. He hated it, he hated being there, he was a rude, arrogant prima Donna. For the next 20 years when he came on tv I turned the station.

    My love of food came mostly from my visits to France. Things my mother and g.mothers ruined I came to really love---- when made well! Scrambled eggs, potatoes au gratin, etc.
    Made by my family--- absolutely horrible stuff! Made properly---- heavenly!
    Trips to France and watching Julia and Jacques made me want to learn. So I went to Le Cordon Bleu, in Paris, but only to learn to cook for myself. ( the same school Julia Child went to) I just wanted to learn knife skills, flavor parings, and basic techniques.
    The recipes I seldom look at.
    It was the style and confidence in cooking I wanted! And the competition with the other students! I never wanted to cook for anyone other than myself!
    And, what fun it was!
    Years later i was going to French school in Bordeaux. And was taking more cooking classes while there. The first day the teacher comes over to me and asked my where I had cooked before! Just from the way I was scoring the skin on a duck breast he knew I had had some training. Somewhere! But I professed I knew nothing, but he didn't believe me! He knew. And I knew he knew! So he would watch me from a distance and smile.
    I never told him my secret. I just wanted to learn more. To practice more! I wanted the experience but without a restaurant environment!
    Plus, I wanted to learn wine pairings with certain classic French dishes!
    It was so much fun! I never wanted to ruin it with restaurant work! It is, after all, very, very hard work. Day after day. I never wanted to lose the fun of it. Of cooking only for myself. Or at most for 3 other people! Then it is fun. Cooking night after night for 100-150 people??? NEVER!!!
    So, now, all of these years later it is still fun for me. From going to the markets looking for what looks best to the actual cooking--- I love it! It just isn't a surprise when I sit down to finally eat it! And usually I'm not all that hungry after all of the tasting I do as I go along cooking things, so i often eat 3 or 4+ hours after I cook so I am then, hopefully, hungry! But, I'm not always hungry even then.
    It is very difficult to cook for just 1 person. But I hope I never lose the enjoyment of making food I love to eat! Because I prefer my food over anyone else's!
    ANYONE'S!!!

      arthur wohltman I have been on two cruises with Jaques Pepin and I have been impressed every time with his humbleness. One time, at the end of the cruise, Jacques and Gloria were there in the line getting off the ship pushing their luggage on a cart waiting for a taxi just like the rest of us. No privilege, no handlers, just Jean-Claude, Gloria and Jacques. Not asking for any favors just being a human being. I love that man.

    Another major tipping point was Julia Child and her cooking show on PBS! She really blew the doors off, thus elevating all cooking, the sourcing of ingredients and the idea that 'good' cooking, and/or French cooking, was within the grasp of most people, with a bit of effort and study.
    100%, Julia was certainly a major tipping point!
    She turned people on to an elevated feel for what 'good food' is/was! And that it was possible to achieve it in most people's homes!!!
    Julia Child was in the vanguard, in that wave, of interest in 'food'! And how it is made. Plus an interest in 'good' ingredients. And what good ingredients really were!
    We owe a huge debt to Julia Child. Even today!
    Plus Jacques Pépin! ABSOLUTELY!!!
    THANK-YOU, JACQUES! You are certainly an American hero, for all you have done for American culture and cooking!!!
    We are in debt to you, certainly!
    Again, Thank-you, sir!!!

    Both Pepin and Bourdain have a wonderful conviviality, using food as a means to share. Bourdain did this wonderful interview on PBS some years ago, talking about his book, The Nasty Little Bits. Sharing your food with others is an extreme act of generosity, hospitality and intimacy. Pepin's series also reinforces this concept. Ultimately, cooking is the original alchemy--transforming both food and time into something quite wonderful to share with others. And here are two people that are passionate about that process.

    Certainly two of my favorite Chefs off all time: Both no nonsense characters in a very tough world. They don't suffer fools easily ! I have always appreciated Jacques' direct approach to food-- and the concept that amazing food need not be complicated or expensive was a revelation to me. I watched every show took notes made my own variations --because I couldn't get what he cooked with ! And Bourdain is just this New York dude who really really knows food and approaches it all with a grain of salt : and sarcasm that I totally get. I hope these two do something together again (perhaps a food special.)
