The author really doesn't do Jacques Pepin justice. If you have the time, watch some of his videos on YouTube. His mastery of even the most basic of techniques is inspiring, and he cooks in a way that is very different from modern cooking shows.
Also, this page is just shy of 10mb. The UI is daunting and unreadable. Wait, scratch that. After scrolling a bit there was another massive amount of requests on the page. The page now sits at over 700 HTTP requests and 13mb.
Simply scrolling the page creates 20 http requests. What is the utility there? Honestly.
- NoGravitas 10y agoI don't know. I read it in Firefox's reader mode, and didn't feel like I missed anything.

- dharmon 10y agoThat was a thing of beauty. Definitely trying it this weekend (but giving myself an hour instead of 10 minutes).
- enobrev 10y agoI love this video. Especially the chicken lollipops. I tried this a couple years ago and it came out OK. I definitely need quite a bit more practice. But the chicken lollipops were delicious.
- dorfsmay 10y agoFor me it's his making omelettes, because everybody thinks all omelettes are equals and easy to make until watching his videos ; very humbling.
- throw7 10y agoLove watching this dude make an omelette: https://youtu.be/Uu5zGHjRaMo?t=72 https://youtu.be/Uu5zGHjRaMo?t=72
- WaxProlix 10y agoThis is my favorite too! The guy has such a wonderful presence about him.
- joshwa 10y agoI came here just to post this!!!
- jasonwatkinspdx 10y agoIn a world full of cooking show hosts that are more reality tv stars than kitchen pro Pepin stands way out. He's the real deal. Unapologetic old school french technique without any pretension.
