I love watching these older episodes for nostalgia, but also looking through a different lens than we would now. Like, California long grain rice vs bomba short grain, mixing seafood and non-seafood, and introducing raw fish to an apprehensive generation. Also, that eye shadow lol. It was a weird time.

With all due respect and humility to the absolute and coolest master chef who has taught us all so much and has been in the kitchen for centuries... This is not a paella. This is an arroz con cosas, and with many questionable ingredients cooked in the wrong container with the wrong techniqes and wrong handling. This is not an opinion. Paella is a specific dish made a particular way. This would no doubt be a delicious arroz con cosas, if it were correctly cooked in a paella pan, but there are dozens of incorrect techniques and ingredients in this paella for it to be considered a paella. I'd still be honored to eat any of his scraps. He is old school, and this video was made a long time ago for a late 80's American suburban audience.

IN MY VIEW Making Paella is a dish myself a many others want to make but never make it. It looked too complicated. The simple way Jacques Pepin puts it together shows me it’s not that difficult after all. This is going on my dinner party menu list. Crusty bread, a bottle of with a little fruit & cheese dish in the side is a dream coming true.

I love Jacques and I''ve been a fan of his from Day One. I still use all of is tips n my own meal preparations to this vey day, several decades later. ONE thing I was a bit surprised about in this particular clip though was when he transitioned directly from handling the raw chicken to touching the figs and then other elements of the meal preparation without first washing his hands (he did wipe them however) which is something I learned about even as a KID (I'm now 64!) from my grandmother long before I even saw Jacques on television.

@yankeesfan8561 2 жыл бұрын

I agree, and not just Jacques, ive seen many prominent chefs do the same thing. Ive always thought you cant touch anything after touching raw chicken due to risk of spreading the bacteria

@kjdaughe 2 жыл бұрын

If you watch closely there's a jump-cut edit at the 3:02 mark. It is well done, as you'd expect from a production like this, and does a very good job of keeping the flow and appearing to remain "live" but he's drying his hands from washing them, not from touching the chicken. I've noticed that shows today emphasize hand washing (as they should) but in these older cooking shows they edit out the non-cooking components for time.

@dixonj41 2 жыл бұрын

@@kjdaughe I disagree. In the shot of him placing the chicken in the pan he’s holding the plate where they were resting. In the next shot, he is placing the plate down. There is no passage of time, they are just different shots one after another

If I had seen this video before that time, I would have taught Chef Pépin how to pronounce 'paella' correctly. Watching this video, I couldn't believe that a great chef like him was mispronouncing the word.

I'll always prefer this to the cooking competition shows that are now on TV. I've watched Jacques for many years and he is not only a great chef but an equally adept teacher. I like to watch Lidia too because she shows you how to make delicious non-gourmet meals. PBS also used to have a series called Great Chefs (of - name a city) and it was interesting and featured nice guitar background music by Charlie Byrd. It's difficult to find such informative cooking shows outside of PBS and Create TV, also part of PBS.
