I love how he explains the reason he uses things & what happens to them while they are cooking. Jacques Pépin is my all-time favorite Chef. My life-long dream is to meet him, cook with him, & listen to him speak of his life experiences.

The best food of my life I ate in Lyon and this was in a small hotel, the cook a woman with no reputation, someone who cooks every day for her family too. Ingredients were fresh and best quality. The sauces and dressings were used sparingly. Her menu had enough variety to keep the palate happy, but not overwhelmed. Soup, fish appetiser, salad, a small piece of steak, slices of warm baguette, pickled fruit, creme brulee. I've tried ever since to reproduce the simple salad she made with chicory and bits of mandarin orange. Just exquisite.

Recommending against soaking dry beans on the ground that they give gas is understandable (simple solution: dump the soaking liquid)… and then reason just goes hilariously out the window when the implication made is that the gas is caused *by fermentation* from soaking a dry product in water overnight - that has to be the silliest thing I’ve heard all day, I have to say! I definitely LOL’d at that

I do love how Chef also talks about Italian Rapini (Broccoli Rabe) which is stronger than Bok Choi and just perfect with steak, or spicy chicken or fish. And by no means do I mean any disrespect to Chef ever. I have always adored him since I was a teennager in the 1980's.I still cook from my Today Gourmet cookbook

From my experience in trying to get things perfect, timing is everything. Things need to come off, things need to go on, things need to be prepped in between(better ahead of time). The layout of this video and the seamless style is very impressive for its age. He taught how to prep his steak sauce while the steaks were on their first side for less than a few mins. That was a major skills flex. Move potatoes around. Then when he sat down at the table at the end with other plates already premade that was a production skills flex. Good stuff. You can have all of the right ingredients, but if you're not loving everything all at once then it can all go downhill very quickly. This was a hardy looking meal.
