Essential Pepin: Veg-In!

  • Episode 104: Jacques loves vegetables and jokes that everything should be considered a vegetable, even chocolate cake!
    Joking aside, we all know that we don't eat enough veggies and Jacques creates simple recipes to tempt even the most reluctant. He begins by sharing Ragout of Asparagus with his friend and back-kitchen chef, David Shalleck, and explains the recipe in a step-by-step process. He goes on to feature two gratins, a colorful Zucchini and Tomato Gratin and a creamy Cauliflower Gratin. A very special presentation features a staring lobster nestled in artichokes in Artichoke Hearts Helen and finally, a simple Corn Tempura that can be served alone or topped with smoked salmon (or even caviar.)

    I enjoyed this vedio. Growing up in the produce business,both my grandfather & father had produce businesses. It was a treat always enjoying the wonderful vegetables & fruits. My mother always made terrific dishes with the produce. I always looked forward to eating them. Maybe that's why I am a vegetarian. Well thank you again Mr. Pepin.

    Vegetables are expensive at the moment in my state (in Australia) because of the recent floods. But well worth it, they're very good quality. My social worker has been bringing me cauliflowers from her garden too. My other friend has a vegetable cupboard in the street where neighbours can go to swap vegetables they grow in their garden. Vegetables are really wonderful.

    I was a strange child that grew up watching Pepin and Child on PBS while my friends were watching cartoons. I was always fascinated with the process of cooking, and that fascination turned into a lifelong passion for making delicious meals for family and friends.
    I'm a husband and father now, and I still love watching Jacques. I admire his ability to make everything look so easy and effortless. It took me numerous attempts to master his omelette technique. Jacques had more impact on me than any sports star, actor or rock star. He's a class act and a living treasure.

  • @chrisandersen5635

    Sure, he may seem to add a lot of salt, but I bet if we compared grams of salt between his cooking and that of most commercial cooking; premade foods, Pépin's food would probably be substantially less than all that. This is the same with Olive Oil. IMHO. Sure, he uses a lot of cream, and he says when something is really decadent, but he does not apologize. The point of cooking is to feed delicious food to hungry mouths. I want to try a lot of his recipes, toute suite!

    • @TheDefeatest
      @TheDefeatest 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If they used too much salt it would taste salty. He is cooking in a classic french style a lot of times and yes it can be very rich food. All in moderation is what people need to understand. Too much salt would mean salty. When salt is used properly you should never taste salt. Also remember that he is making dishes there for 4-8 people and you wouldnt eat all of it, so that salt amount is for a lot of food. You need something like .3 to .5 percent salt of the weight of your food for proper seasoning.

    Your comment is interesting because I never advocated no salt whatsoever. I just thought it looked like salt on top of salt and mentioned that.
    Also, I didn't notice that you were on the set tasting the food Jacques was cooking to prove just how perfectly salted it was. It must be great to be able to taste Jacques' food right on the set to know that the seasoning is perfect. Do you think you can arrange a visit for me to meet him?

    • @larrysmith2638

      Brian Thomas Clark Same goes for your comments. And salt is more than just a salty condiment. It is a chemical that has certain effects on different foods. The rule of thumb is that every ingredient needs to be seasoned before or during cooking. If you don't, you not only change the taste, you change the chemical composition of the dish.
