Pop Over Any Time: Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way | KQED 

dang. This guy is insane. What a legend. Clearly is so so French and a trained professional but with zero pretentiousness or arrogance. Just sharing is love with you. Amazing.

His culinary prowess is amazing . Knife skills : dice, slice, rocking garlic to make a paste expert level . Pan flipping to distribute ingredients like a culinary juggler unmatched . Master chef shows how it's done .

I love this man! Amazing chef but with a huge heart - and he loves to teach and share! How lucky are we to have him?

Watching Jacques relaxes me for some odd reason

I love Jacques Pepin. He may be a trained French gourmet chef, but he understands the American lifestyle and the need for convenience in cooking. He isn't hung up with organic foods and knows how to make elegant food with stuff out of your fridge. He's the man!!!!

"I don't have any timid guests in my kitchen." I love when the glint of steel can be seen through the velvet glove.

The part where he's describing the chorizo and says, "this one is...weird looking" has me laughing so hard every time

I love it, "Everyone wants to die healthy." That reminds me of my grandmother who never wanted to go to her doctor until was feeling better.

i remember, i use to watch jacque pepin and julia childs, together or seprately, and martin yan, and america's test kitchen, all on PBS, good ole days

At one point he's cutting a damn clove of garlic and he doesn't even need to look at it. It's fun to watch Jacques, he's such a master at what he does.

Easy to make food by using everyday items that can be found at any supermarket. That's what makes Jacques the best TV chef. I'm so sick of the Food Network clowns who make their shows about themselves and not the food. He understands that most of us don't cook that much or at all and he simplifies the recipes to make it easy for anyone to do.

FINALLY a chef who knows how pasta should be cooked. I don't get the "partially raw" people. At all.

Haha, I like his casual "This one is from Spain, this one is mild, this one is weird looking"

“This is my dog, he likes to be with me in the kitchen and he doesn’t eat much” lol Jacques is a fucking legend

@ 14:37 Jacque references his mother... Its amazing how all the great chefs I watch always drop a reference to how their mom cooked. I think its nice

I absolutely love how he tastes so many components of each recipe. Grew up watching him and Julia, snack on almost every ingredient while cooking. Brilliant

I've been watching chef Pepin for more than fifty years- there has ALWAYS been at least 1 mushroom in his refrigerator!

After many years when you did this recipe online I always love how you bring your mother into the conversation. What a wonderful person.

Now, I always thought that 'shrooms that had "opened" were past their prime. Thank you, Jacques! 👍👍

Cooking is very simple when Chef Jack Pepin is a teacher

I swear he was slicing garlic without looking at it. Like a boss. :)

I love when he says, "Im Jacques Pepin".

How Jacque doesn’t have the recognition he deserves as a Master Chef is beyond me.

I feel that I grew up with Jacques and Julia. My brother and mom were always there watching, by my side. Great memories.

Thank You Jacques for all you do and have done all of your life. I worked as a Sous-Chef in an Italian Restaurant in SF, and one evening when I was preparing for the Dinner Crowd, I did something that annoyed the Chef. He was exasperated and told me that Jacque would never do that... I told him I knew of "Jacques Pépin and had studied some of his recipes, but that..." He interrupted me, "You've never watched him cook?" I shook my head, no. He made me promise to go to house that Saturday to do some "Homework." I went... and we spent Hours watching his old VHS Tapes of Jacques that he had recorded off of KQED. It was pretty damned awesome.

I'm falling in love with M.Pepin fast food (his way😊) He's incredibly amazingly awesome. My admiration and respect in his good intentions, sharing his experiences with the world.

Me too! He is calm and has a way of establishing “we are in this together” that is so reassuring. Such a lovely 😊 man.

I love how he pops a bite in his mouth every once in a while ❤️

He makes it look so effortless. That’s the sign of a true expert.

I met pepin in 2007 , he was just as he is , except very old, but very sweet old man, always smiling

What a gift to have Jacques Pepin Fast Food My Way as everyday uploads!!!! ❤️💯❤️

"This one is weird looking..." Classic honestly. Gotta love it.

4:44 LOL I totally do the same thing with the sausage end piece. Laughed so hard when I saw Pepin toss it into his mouth :P

I made the pasta he makes here and it was so friggin' good! Never thought about using Fennel in this way, will make again. Merci, Pépin!

"Everybody wants to die in good health" Words of a master.

The mustard vinaigrette-what a great idea!!! It looks so flavorful and recycles the jar :) I really enjoy watching Mr. Pepin cook!

I love to cook. My first serious cookbooks were Mastering the Art of French Cooking,, Volumes I and II. The originals, not the boxed set. My family is of French origin. Everyone in my family cooks delicious creative food, although they may have degrees in subjects not related to food. I have lived in Berlin for 30 years, but before that, I lived on the French border where I got married. My new husband and I went to Alsace every other week-end, where we had some really good French friends. His accent was exactly like Jacques', the melody of French carried directly into his English, "You know..." I am "staying in" now and almost every day I talk to my sister in Minnesota, who is a professional baker. When I told her I was watching Jacques, she said, "Oh good! I'm so glad you are doing that. It's good for your spirits." Not that I'm depressed! But she is so right. I carefully record the details of his methods, and have "More Fast Food My Way" in my Amazon basket. I'm so sorry for his loss of his Gloria, who he thinks about with every deft detail, how she likes turkey wings, and likes her pasta well-done. What a terrible year! On his many shows, though, he's timeless, and clever and produces fabulous food. I have to keep reminding myself that he has a Master's Degree in French Literature from Columbia University... He has mastery at more than the one thing... He's a man of all seasons.In this time, he's a Godsend!

Some of my favorite memories as a kid was watching this man with my mother on Saturday afternoons as a kid in the 80s

Anyone else hypnotized by how he sliced that garlic and onion?

one of the few "great men" roaming the globe. We need more.

Where has this been? I’m getting better at cooking quickly thank you Jacques you beautiful soul

Anyone else love the way the woman says "AND BY"???

My favorite episode and favorite set , I love how it looks like the sun is coming through even though it's night outside , and of course the food is out of this world especially that pear thang

I made that pizza with some friends a while back...granted, chorizo, garlic, and about a couple of pounds of cheese are hard to mess up, but it was seriously one of the best pizzas we've had. The only modification we made was upping the garlic (we take all garlic amounts in recipes as "this is just a starting point," so we probably ended up using 6-8 cloves and wanting more).

What can I say about JP that hasn't been said already, all I can say is mad, mad, mad knife skills.

"this one is weird looking" LOL

So glad these epis are available, may they always be. And maybe some of today's TV chefs can watch too & take note: this chef (N.B.: he's a master of *teaching* as much as chef- ing) doesn't just pass along recipes as you do, he teaches us all *how* to cook, very subtly, so we're not even aware all we're learning as we watch. And five years from now when a crowd gets stuck at your house after a freak snowstorm hits, you'll remember as you pull out something -anything!- from your pantry to feed them that Jacques told you to forget the nonsense about serving raw pasta, cook it just *past* the moment the chewy line dissipates instead, & your shivering refugees will thank you.

I could watch him cook all day! His food looks so simple, yet thoughtful and, of course, delicious!

I like that he always tastes his food as he cooks. 🤤

Every time I watch him, he blows my f'n mind. Jaques earned his place in history, hard work made him the gentleman he is..

My favorite online chef. I LOVE watching Jacques and trying his recipes!

this is my childhood. as a chef, him and my grandmama molded me. thanks for the uploads.

I come to watch him cut things up. His knives skills are the best.

Pepin is such a treasure. An improvement on the first dish is to use Iberian ham instead of prosciutto. It’s another experience altogether. Also, paella is not made with chorizo. I understand why some people would like it but it would overwhelm the dish itself. Chorizo on a pizza, on the other hand, is a great idea.

Not to be dramatic or anything but Jacques is a semi-national treasure in the US

Wonderfully old-fashioned... and that’s a compliment!!

Simply the best Chef Master Class. I can wach him 24 hours. Oh,heaven. Wonderful way of cooking..this is real Food. I admire him to tje enternity.

what an awesome episode ... I am hooked on Jacques! My eyes bulged when he looked down the camera while finely slicing garlic really fast! Amazing :-)

I always watch Jacques wheni want a bit of easy watching video, he always relaxes me, great fella.

13:45 "Everyone want to die in good health" Wise Man with tongue in cheek - cracked me up.

The way he is handling the pan so effortlessly..

16:34 Not a piece out of the pan, real skill! What a master!

Chopping that quickly whilst looking at the camera, master knife skills from years of practice🍷💕

Pepin is the greatest!!

Love how he is casually grating cheese and you literally hear him grate his hand. Doesn't even blink thr man has hands of steel!

Telling the grater to stay upright, I do that too! "Stay!"

Ok, I am so tripped out right now. I have all the ingredients to the pasta dish but I would have never thought to put all that together! Everything was wonderful even the tart! So easy and faster then a mix.

the way he chops so smoothly i swear his using a lightsaber

7:03 you too homie🤜🏾🤛🏼

Jacques always makes me smile, and hungry!

I love how he says okay

Subtle French shade = "Everyone wants to die in good health" Pépin looks directly into camera. 😄

I could watch him all day, and often do.

That pizza looks absolutely divine.

Not familiar with KQED, but thank you for uploading this series to youtube. This is what a cooking show should be. Not spikey hair, tats, piercings and abrasive, confrontational attitudes.

I learned in a restaurant kitchen, to cut peppers from the inside, never from skin side. To prevent knife from slipping. I guess his are always sharp.

Love this guy, especially with Julia. I grew up on him an her . Along with others.

Delicious...as always...yum! Thank you Jacques Pepin! God bless!

I can watch him all day!!

Very nice! I enjoy to watch a Master Chef at work in his field!

I’ve been binging these the past few days, especially after work extremely relaxing

His shows inspire us to try new dishes and buy better quality utensils. Reassuring to know that no matter how our cooking turns out, it will be great.

The Bob Ross of cooking! This should have been called The joy of cooking :))

Jacques....you are the KING!

Jaques Pepin, His approach to his CRAFT,MAKES A LOT OF SENCE. SOME WOULD CALL IT "COMMON SENSE. IT IS VERY UNCOMMON TODAY, BUT STILL REFRESHING! !!

This is beyond fast food

I am addicted to this man and his recipes.

I thought he was gonna give the lowdown on his five different chorizo styles, but instead he stopped at the third one and said "This one's weird looking..." and ignored the rest.

this guy is the man... you can tell how many meals he has made before. my favorite chef right now..

Thats not a pizza thats a god dam party!

"Everyone want to die in good health"- Jacques Pepin Seriously though raisins? I don't know, but I'd trust him I suppose. He's like the Da Vinci of tv chefs.

"yeah, just here, looking at the camera and slicing like a million slices per min. No biggie"

Jacques...the master!!

Surprised by the rains in the pasta dish, but I trust Jacque Pepin enough to give it a try!

I have been watching cooking programs from different countries there's no doubt they are professionally nice Sheff but I liked Mr.Birgitte Jeanette he is best his way of teaching is amazing during his cooking he explained each and every thing is in detail to understand to his viewers I belong to Pakistan found of cooking it's my passion to cook the recipes of dishes is very easy and healthy food in our country we eat very spicy and oily food God bless him with good health.

he definitely inspires me to explore more ways to put food together. no modern cooking is this real.

3:10 looking you in the eyes and cutting like a boss. Much praise 🙏

I don't think the man has measured anything in this entire episode. He probably just threw out some measurements because the producers made him. He's awesome.

He pronounced "tortilla" beautifully. Like a native speaker.

My cooking inspiration. Cheers! Jacques.
