Bonjour Monsieur Pepin. Please receive my condolences about your lovely Gloria. It’s always harder for the people who are left behind.
I have a crazy job and life. Watching him brings me peace.
me too. i can't explain it.
Same
🥰
Me too
Count me in as well - watching him leaves me feeling serene
This looks delicious jacques. I love chicken legs you're the best chef. Sorry to hear a sad news of your wife.
That made me so sad.
You can tell this was filmed after his wife's passing, he's wearing black, and around his eyes you can tell...... We love you Jacques. I know Gloria is smiling down on all of us, especially you. You can't see her but believe me, she's there with you my friend. Stay strong my friend. We all love you
Agreed.
This was before. It ran before Thanksgiving.
Prob cause he kept tripling the butter, oil, and sugar in his recipes.
This is becoming my favorite cooking channel. It's strange how French food isn't more common in the USA, given the fact that France is America's oldest ally. It mainly exists here in ultra-expensive restaurants most people can't afford. That's why I love how this channel breaks down simple, inexpensive French dishes.
So sorry to hear of your wife’s passing, Mr. Pepin.
I know he's in pain but still makes us all so happy ! What an incredible man. Thank you for another great recipe!!!!
I know Gloria's hand is with his hand in every step of this dish. He is a true legend, teaching runs in his veins.
It’s so nice to see a chef that doesn’t use tweezer to garnish. Thank you for keeping us happy during your families tough time. My condolences!!!!
Jacques can be fancy if he is preparing fancy meals, the Le Technique book is amazing. But most of us want to learn simple home cooking thru his knowledge & wisdom
Great point! Although Chef Pepin is classically trained, and a master of that school of cooking, the way he cooks for the world to enjoy is the antithesis of "molecular" gastronomy...and we're thankful for it!!
I hope he finds some comfort in his very extended family here. We love ya Jacques
Love your cooking! So sorry to hear about your wife. May she Rest In Peace.🙏
This man is the greatest. Love you Jacques!
So sorry for the loss of your wife Jaques . May your family and all who love you be a comfort in your time of mourning .
My sincere condolences for loss of his beloved wife. We all send you love!
Love how Chef Pepin takes the simplest ingredients and turns them into something so delectable looking! Thank you Chef!
Agreed! A great cook (not necessarily a "chef") can take humble ingredients, or things they have on hand at the moment, and turn them into something yummy and nourishing to mind and body.
Jacques you’re a joy. You water our seeds of happiness in each one of us every time we watch you cooking. Thank you! Remember that your wife is always in you and happy whenever you are.
Mon cher Chef Pepin, I just learned about your beloved wife's death and I want to extend my deepest condolences to you. Everyone who's followed your work knows about your amazing relationship and I can only imagine the sadness her passing leaves you with. Please know we have you in our hearts.
All my love is sent to you Jacques.
Jacques, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for continuing to make these videos and helping the rest of us through this difficult time. Your life has been blessed and our lives have been blessed by you.
I share his pain of losing a loved one... I recently became a widow this past October... even though it was a short 39 yrs ... I miss him every day. Disease has no timeline....it's the living who bears the brunt of loss & pain. My deepest condolences on losing the love of your life... 😭
Erin K thank you for your kind words
You'll meet him again .....on a bright sunny day!
Sorry for your loss Mr. Pepin. I wish you a Merry Christmas.
I have watched you ever since I was a young woman. I enjoyed your videos with Julia also.
Please accept my condolences. Your wife was beautiful. This is a love,y meal! Be strong,
you are loved and admired and respected by millions. ♥️🙏🕊🙋♀️
So nice to see him still cooking at his age and enjoying life. Love Jacques.
He makes everything look easy. Love you Jacques. Have been praying for you these days.
This recipe is in an older cookbook of his that I have, and I have loved making it for years. What a treat to see him do it!
Everyday cooking, nothing sophisticated. I love it.
I believe you are my favorite chef to watch. Thank you!
Gee that is simple enough, one leg and thigh and a small yam and you have dinner for one. I am putting this one on my favorites list, this way I can review make some notes and a shopping list. I have to change my eating habits, this one should get approval from my Doctor. As for your loss, I don't know what to say that I have not already, I lost my only brother back in Feb. So now I am alone, yet I am blessed with a couple of very very good friends. Still working on my omelet skills. Lucky for me I love eggs.
r.i.p. Gloria...Jack always spoke of you as his the light of his life.
That Chicken Leg with Yams dinner looks good!
We love this man, especially these days! God bless him
Why am I watching it in the middle of the night ^ ^ ? That Juice tho ❤mhhh
A beautiful dish, chef. I love that it's all in one pot cooking. Makes things simple. You are the best, thank you for your channel.
Chef Pépin always one of my favorites! Love his simplicity and flavorful dishes! Thanks Chef!!
Always cooking with family in mind. Usually for two. Gloria in mind. Or Shorey if she’s there. Or Tetine of course. You are an inspiration Chef. I wish you safe journey through these difficult times. I look forward to hearing about that magnificent boules fête you plan in Gloria’s honor. Santé.
Thoughts are with you.
It's so amazing how he makes it simple like village cooking not commercialized garbage we see nowadays.
Thank you KQED for featuring Jacques Pépin! He is one of my favourite chefs! Such style & eloquence!! Such a fantastic teacher & master French chef!! A joy just to watch & listen to!! He is the reason I subscribed recently to KQED!! So it is with much sadness that I heard his beautiful wife, Gloria…past away! What a love story they had and lived!! My condolence to Mr. Pépin & his family…May they find love & comfort in each other as I’m sure they will during this sad time… my thoughts & prayers are with them tonight💛🇨🇦
My WIFE will LOVE this dish. I also took the tip about using frozen pearl onions. Flash-frozen fruits and vegetables have gotten tastier and are easily separated. Pearl onions in a vegetable drawer tend to get forgotten at our house.
Bon Appetite Jacques. Praying for peace for you.
Sending you love and respect, sir.
I'm a person who has trouble shaking addictions and over eating is one I have left. I would easily polish off this entire platter. It clearly is scrumptious.
A true treasure are you Jaques! Cheers!
As always, a delicious looking dish. I'm going to use sweet potatoes, which I love, next time I make chicken stew. My sincere condolences to you, your daughter and granddaughter on the loss of your beloved Gloria. 💓
You are my favoritest chef of all time. I always learn something when I watch you.
My mum used to make these dishes, simple and straightforward.. But when Jacques presents it, it looks like restaurant quality
Thank you Chef, from Detroit ....God bless you and your family.
I love watching CHEF cook. Calming and therapeutic 😌
We love you Jacques and are thinking of you during this hard time in your life.
Jacques....Love your videos. I'm so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest condolences. Keep doing what you do. She would have wanted that...
IN MY VIEW
Jacques Pepin's kitchen must smell wonderful when he is cooking.
I can't smell it on the internet but I can imagine it closing my eyes savoring the thought.
Jacques your amazing!!
Whenever I need an idea, an inspiration for cooking, I turn to chef Pepin. I hope TH-cam keeps his contents forever.
We love you, chef!

For you: love and deep respect. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us Jacques. You continue to inspire me to cook the fast, easy way you’ve taught us. I have so many of your cookbooks and am now collecting the DVDs. I don’t watch anyone else. I am sorry about Gloria, much love to you and your family during this sad time.
Thank you Jacques for the wonderful video, we appreciate and love you!
The best cooking show ever
Thank you, as always, for teaching so well.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your wife.
May all your memories bring some comfort.
Lessons in how to cook. And by example lessons in how to live. Lessons in how to be in this world. I've never even met you and I feel I owe you so much. Thank You for your lifetime of sharing and teaching and setting an example. It has enriched my own immeasurably.
As so many times before I never would have thought of this meal in a million years and it looks delicious and now I want to make it and eat it.
Very nice, thank you!
Love you Jackues. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks KQED for producing this! These videos give me inspiration when I cook for my family. Jacques Pépin is a true legend and his recipes are very approachable.
Chef Pepin apart from being a grade inspiration in my life I am truly enamored by the resilience and strength that you have shown us. We enjoyed the ever so unfamiliar face of Mrs. Pepin. Thank you for still being here for us and remember we are here for you. Danke
Thank you Jacques.
One of the many things I love about Chef Pepin is, he gives no blanks about his equipment. He stabs pans with the tips of knives, and he just destroyed the heel of that cheapo stamped-steel knife when he cleaved off the tip of that chicken leg. All of the great chefs really use their equipment.
lmfao what
Mr. Pepin is an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for your wonderful perspective on food and condolences on your loss.
Chicken and Yams very nice Chef.
He's amazing.
What a lovely dinner
The master does it again!
We love you sir...
You remind of my father.
I always watched your cooking with Julia and on your own on Iowa public television, I learned a lot, love to eat, love to cook, thank you 😃
Blessings Jaques Pépin, I love it
We love you chef Pepin. God bless you for all the inspiration and knowledge you've given to us and the world. I mean it!
He’s a beautiful human
Food is love especially when it is prepared from a Jaques Pepin recipe 😋
I love simple one-pot/pan recipes. Thank you Chef Jaques.
You are and always be my favorite chef !!!
A World Treasure
I'm glad that Jacques Pepin is able to find pearl onions somewhere. He probably grows them in his garden because they're impossible to find in the stores, at least where I live (Calgary, Canada). I'll try to substitute with shallots but I do love those little pearl onions.
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
I have become addicted to these videos. I like to listen for the drool accumulation sounds, it reminds me of my french grandmother, Lucille, who was also a really fun chef/grandma to be around. Thanks KQED and Jacques for the great content!
Very tasty, chef.
Another day another beautiful dish thank you very much Jaques pepin
This guy is a legend,i feel lucky to watch him cook.Food looks delish too
We love you Jacques
Jaques videos are perfect simple quick to the point cooked his lamb stew one it was perfection
My condolences. Great simple recipe I will try...looks wonderful!!
I’m so glad you made that comment about the chicken skin. That was a question I always had in my head, but I always forget to ask about. This was a great video!
Thanks for watching!
That looks delish😋😋😋🥰
Thank you Good showing me how to cook.
THE MASTER!!
Love yams in every form,thank you !
Merci Jacques. My mother made very similar dish. She was from Troyes. You are always inspiration to me. How fun is it to cook. Bon Soirèe
