When an 80+ year old dude with full blown arthritis chops faster than you ever did in your life, you know this fella has forgotten more about cuisine than you will ever learn..
He had a major car wreck in the late 60's/early 70's and nearly lost his arm and was told he may never walk again. It never stopped him, as you can see. He is a gift to us all. My inspiration for becoming a chef!
Watching Jacques cook always reminds me of my mother. We used to watch him together on the weekends. She loved his accent and his calm and patient manner, not to mention his food. She has been gone almost 30 years now, but she is often by my side when I am in the kitchen. Thank you, Jacques, for many wonderful and delicious years.
What a beautiful post, and what a lovely compliment for Mr Pepin, who always says that cooking and food bring people together. Blessings sent your way mam
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me!
I worked with a famous French Chef during my lifetime in the culinary business, and my memories with him were not pleasant. Watching the esteemed Chef Pepin does my heart good. People like Chef Pepin is the reason why I became interested in this art, and watching him in these videos, at his age is truly blessed. I am 66 years old, and I still love my profession, when and if I am blessed enough to reach Chef Pepin's age, I hope to still be cooking this way.

Jacques Pepin is the Master. I actually got to talk to him on TV during a PBS fundraiser in 1999. Coolest 37 seconds of my life! I spent many Saturday afternoons watching and learning from him on TV in the pre-Food Network days when shows like his were all about the cooking and the technique. Real food television. For me, it was like going to school. I learned something every time. “The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen” is an amazing story of a true legend and a great read. Happy Cooking!
You and Julia taught me to cook. Along with Madeline and a few others but mainly you and Julia. On Saturday morning when everybody else as a child watched cartoons I watched PBS cooking shows and by 8 years old I was cooking complete meals using what I learned from you. My whole life I have wanted to meet you to say two words and I will say them here. Thank you! :-)
This man helped inspire me to become a chef. Before I went to culinary school twenty-two years ago, I watched him and Julia on PBS. This man taught me how to really enjoy something as simple as eggs as a solid meal. To this day, nothing satiates me as much as a well prepared scrambled egg with herb fines and a tear off of a toasted baguette,if I'm feeling really fancy some fresh grated parm cheese, any time of day or night.
The love he has for his wife inspires me that some day I find someone that means as much to me, but if I can't ind that love, I will make certain I support that love that others have.
I've been watching Jacques Pépin since I was a kid. Now I'm in my 50s and still able to watch him on CZcams. God Bless him and his family on the loss of Gloria a couple weeks ago.
When I was young, my mother had "The Joy of Cooking" on the shelf. As I've gotten older, I understand what that means now. I enjoy cooking and eating so much now, I hardly use prepared foods. This is one more egg dish to add to the list of things to try. Thanks Jacques & PBS!
this country omelet was my first meal during my very first visit to Paris in 1991 :) I have been duplicating this omelet since then, + mushroom! Every time I visited France, I learned other French cuisine influenced/inspired by it's former colonies, such as the Moroccan's couscous, Tarjin etc
I did this recipe this morning for my wife. We both loved it! I think this will become a go to for our breakfast rotation on the weekends. It honestly took about as long as this video is to make. Including cooking time from start to finish we were eating in 20 minutes.
@@Thomas-gs3gv Jacques himself would disagree with you. He's been in America for over 70 years now, he has talked about how even 5 years after first moving to New York his technique and style changed. Even his mother commented on it: "this is good, but it is not French".
Jacques, I made this today for brunch. My potato was not as big as yours so I cut up 4 rounds of sweet potato (I think you call it a yam in the states). I had 3 left over roasted chicken wings small ones which would probably have been binned and as you have been educating us on waste not, I shredded and chopped it with a small leaf of spinach as well as the parsley and I can tell you it was fabulous. Thank you again.
One dozen large eggs are only .88 cents at a local produce market until wednesday. I will make this, and make many things as I can with eggs. Thank you again my favorite chef!

Amen....jacques is the man
God Bless Jacques Pepin!

Can you imagine coming down for breakfast and finding this gentleman cooking in the kitchen? OMG! OMG!
Put's a whole new spin on who gets to take care of grandpa in his old age.

She has been gone almost 30 years now, but she is often by my side when I am in the kitchen. Thank you, Jacques, for many wonderful and delicious years.
Now I am remembering cooking with my dad.He has been gone almost as long.What glorious memories.
What a beautiful post, and what a lovely compliment for Mr Pepin, who always says that cooking and food bring people together. Blessings sent your way mam
such a beautiful comment. God Bless you and your mom. She did a great job with you.
I'm just totally enamored with his videos. To see someone who loves their work as much as he does. It's just so beautiful
I am too! He calms me down. I just love him!

Loves their work and also is an expert at what they do. Most of the people cooking on television now don’t actually know how to cook.
I wonder how many times Jacques Pepin has warned people to break their eggs on a flat surface.
I'm thinking thousands.
I suppose that falls under the heading 'A word to the wise...'
EVERY time!! Lol
@@steveg8322 I agree and I always crack my eggs flat.
That's the way
I do it. Cause he taught me how
He is right.
Jacques is the man. He'll be still crushing it in the kitchen at 90 yrs old
Hes almost there haha
I just love him
I love him too 💓😍
Garlic? Or Gloria?
@di C Hahaha my husband loves when they banter too lol
He unmolds the omlet then puts it back and repeats right side up without losing anything...Like a boss.

thank you for taking the time to outline and post the recipe list keep up the good work
THANKS! 👍
Thank you so much for posting the instructions. sometimes I have to watch a video 10 times in order to get it.
Thank you, this is helpful!
Thank you so much! Very kind.
Jacques Pépin is a national treasure. Keep putting on your apron and having fun in the kitchen Mr. Pépin, you are loved!
Wow, when he talks about his wife I feel like I want to cry
En español será posible
I hope he lives another 90 years. Truly a master... !
Crazy knife skill.
Need a little lube.
I love how his family is always a component of his motivation.
This is currently my favourite meal. If chef Pepin never did another video, I'll forever remember him for this one.
Just like Spanish Tortilla. You can pick it up and eat it like a slice of pizza with a glass of wine or beer. Yum.
Picking up chives and mushrooms on the way home tomorrow. JPs a constant pleasure.
I could watch Jacques cook all day long!
You cut him off at the end!
I also noticed that.
The editor of this video should go scrub pots in the back for an hour.
Bastards.
So rude !
His last word describes the editor for cutting him off.
Is there anything better on a cold snowy winter's day than watching Chef Jacques cook with a hot drink in your hand ?
He is literally proof that age is just a number. What an amazing life he has led, still passing on his wisdom.
My knees and shoulders beg to differ. However, his mental acuity is wonderful. I hope that mine remains as good for as long.
@@paulpeterson4216 Just goes to show the importance of home cooking!
Mr Pepin always makes me hungry.
What a legend.

Breaking the eggs flat is always key :) I leaned that from
This master
Hell of a chef. Watching him for a long time
67 fools who don’t even have a TV show like this Wonderful man.
Of all the chefs I've watched over the years. I never tire of Jacques. Thank you Jacques.
You saved me when stuck at the nannys when I was young. I think you and Julia gave me a love for cooking.
The love he has for his wife inspires me that some day I find someone that means as much to me, but if I can't ind that love, I will make certain I support that love that others have.
I've been watching Jacques Pépin since I was a kid. Now I'm in my 50s and still able to watch him on CZcams. God Bless him and his family on the loss of Gloria a couple weeks ago.
My first chef in culinary school was pepins exec chef at his restaurant
Lucky you! You must have heard some good stories about Pepin.
"Country Omelet How Gloria Pepin Likes It" should be the title of this clip.
Now while I'm cooking, I find myself saying, Okay".
His knife skill is no joke
I watched him from the many years I lived in Washington state, he is a guru in his trade. Thank you.
This guys a beast in the kitchen!!
When I was young, my mother had "The Joy of Cooking" on the shelf. As I've gotten older, I understand what that means now. I enjoy cooking and eating so much now, I hardly use prepared foods. This is one more egg dish to add to the list of things to try. Thanks Jacques & PBS!
I have been watching him for years. He’s still my favorite chef and I learned something new today.
One of my favorite chef.
I could watch him all day......
I always tell my wife: Just watched Pepin for this one...."
A great man, a wonderful person. Thank you Jacques Pepin!
Love you, my great uncle was a French chef, watching you brings back great memories, mercy!
If you mean “thank you” in French, it’s spelled “merci.”
Googley Eyed merci! My phone only has Italian spelling, so sorry 😐
Absolutely love this guy I've been watching him since I was a kid
Mr. Pepin is TOP FLIGHT!!!
He is such a joy to watch.
Beautiful dish
Such class.
I love all the little extra tips he gives!
Made this for breakfast this morning. So so good. I love Jacques. Could listen to him all day.
I remember watching him as a kid! I love his cooking. Also, that was just the correct amount of salt.
Jacques you are THE BEST!!! Love your video's, can't get enough of them God Bless, keep them coming!
I feel the love in every bite I take, knowing I am not a chef. Yet, I followed his instructions
Even something as simple as eggs, I always learn something worthwhile watching Master Pepin's videos.
1:58 Best chef around, no question. Truly a chef for the people.
I always learn something new from your videos. merci
Long Live King Jacques!
I love this recipe. Thank you, Jacques for consistently bring your audience excellence.
What a pro!
Wouldn’t it be great to have an Even More Fast Food My Way? The man. The myth. The legend.
God bless you I’ve been watching you forever you taught me a lot through the years thank you
Yes I always learn something new as well Jacques is always teaching. So wonderful !
Hi
this country omelet was my first meal during my very first visit to Paris in 1991 :) I have been duplicating this omelet since then, + mushroom! Every time I visited France, I learned other French cuisine influenced/inspired by it's former colonies, such as the Moroccan's couscous, Tarjin etc
Thank you Jacques. I love watching and learning from you. From London.
Out of bounds perfect
Finally. A French person who doesn’t insist on serving mostly raw, runny scrambled eggs that have the consistency of runny snot. This looks perfect.
I did this recipe this morning for my wife. We both loved it! I think this will become a go to for our breakfast rotation on the weekends. It honestly took about as long as this video is to make. Including cooking time from start to finish we were eating in 20 minutes.
This man is a genius. And also an American treasure.
Funny because he’s very much not American pil
@@Thomas-gs3gv he is literally an American citizen.
OlofTheBald but he’s not an American product. He and his cooking are French.
@@Thomas-gs3gv Jacques himself would disagree with you. He's been in America for over 70 years now, he has talked about how even 5 years after first moving to New York his technique and style changed. Even his mother commented on it: "this is good, but it is not French".
OlofTheBald interesting thanks for info
My kiddo says "I really love this recipe you made. Thank you for teaching my daddy how to make it!"
Jacques, love ya...you're the greatest.
Watching him cooking is very relaxing. Thanks for great content
This is also a (north) German dish called 'Bauernfrühstück' (Farmers' Breakfast), except that we add some diced bacon to the potatoes and onions.
If I used a fork to beat eggs as violently as Jacque, I would be wearing them. He is the best.
Jacques, I made this today for brunch. My potato was not as big as yours so I cut up 4 rounds of sweet potato (I think you call it a yam in the states). I had 3 left over roasted chicken wings small ones which would probably have been binned and as you have been educating us on waste not, I shredded and chopped it with a small leaf of spinach as well as the parsley and I can tell you it was fabulous. Thank you again.
I love watching him cook
His technique is exquisite.
Love everything you make!!!
From California with love 💋
Just made this for dinner! 😋
I like the way Jacque is a straightforward, no-nonsense, matter of fact kind of chef!
So awesome!! 😎
He has given me confidence to make….better wonderful….omelets!!!!
Thks Jacque!
I feel like I could watch him make omelettes till the end of time...who am I kidding, I would settle for boiling eggs
Incredible. I love you Jacques!
Made this for lunch today. Delicious!
As an 🥚🥚 lover that's a great dish 👍🙏 simple is the best cook
Nobody cooks eggs like chef Jacques, watch his omelette demonstration on the French style it’s out of this world.
I discovered JP about a month ago and enjoy the clips, I learn so much. I don't use as much salt as he does though.
So glad to see u again Chef
Thank you, God Bless you always 💗
Such a simple recipe and it looks delicious!
And it is!
Once again, thank you, Monsieur. That was a delicious recipe.
He makes me realize how much I need an herb garden.
"When I have to pay a fortune for a small pack I use it not so much." 😃
Just Great Happy Cooking Chef Pepin
One dozen large eggs are only .88 cents at a local produce market until wednesday. I will make this, and make many things as I can with eggs. Thank you again my favorite chef!
The master at work
I love this man! I feel like I can almost smell the food! What a pleasure to watch him cook.
I made this for my family brunch. It was amazing. My family loved it! Even my son, who is a very finicky eater.
This is like fritatta. Delicious
Agreed! He is our humble and confident chef!!! Lucky for us all. Ahna
I love it when he uses a scratchy fork on skillets
I always remember him saying " non stick means it sticks to everything " classic
