The only thing different from Chef Jean-Pierre's video of over 20 year's plus from today is the colour of his hair. Entertaining, educational and adorable. It just shows his genuine sweet personality. Respect him even more!
I’ve learned so much from him and really enjoy cooking. “it’s easy, it’s cooking, it’s not rocket science!” If you’re not having fun you’re doing it wrong!
OMG...he hasn't changed a bit. Maybe aged a little, but he is still our animated Chef Jean-Pierre with a ton of great advice. I wished I had met him when we were both younger! Thanks for the video
I LOVE CHEF JEAN PIERRE! I found his youtube channel about 3 years ago, and my home cooking has been taken to an entirely new level since. The basic techniques I learned, the when and why's of cooking apply across every type of cooking, and makes all of the difference in the world. He is my all time favorite TV personality.
Me too, of all the cook books I have, and all the chefs I have watched on TV and online, in 30 years of cooking I have learned more from this man in the past two years than all the other years combined. He really is one of a kind.
In nearly 30 years cooking, nobody has taught me so much or inspired me to cook more than this man. And I only discovered him about two years ago. Not only a brilliant chef and teacher, but a wonderful human being ❤
I didn't know he was ever so young, LOL. I love his newer shows, never miss one even if I'm not interested, perhaps he will convince me. I fill a freezer back with all my seafood shells, even cooked lobster shells, Mussels and what ever shell fish. They will keep for 17 years in th3e freezer.
I was introduced to him in his later form with the gray hair and it’s funny seeing him this young with the same voice. As always very illustrative and entertaining at the same time.
So much fun to see his younger self cook! He's doing some things here that he would never do now. Like cutting the shallots not only with the fibers but horizontally thru them before chopping and pouring olive oil with the butter thinking it will keep the butter from burning😂 i've learned so so much from this guy he's amazing and so much fun to watch
Thank you so much for posting this! What a treat to see young Chef JP - the same handsome, happy, enthusiastic man teaching us everything we need to know! Love him even more! Hello there Friend!
OMG, this is so funny.I watch this guy's RU-vid channel.He is much much older now.But I can still tell it to him same voice and personality he's awesome
This man is a genius at teaching cuisine!! Wow! My first time watching, seen 2 Sunshine Cuisine videos so far, and I've learned TONS about cooking - and food!! You can tell he loves what he does! That love of cuisine shines through!! What a great teacher!!! Two thumbs up!! 👏👏👏👍👍
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this and your story of being a part of his pbs show! I had no idea 🥰👍 I really appreciated your info in the description.
You are so welcome! It's wonderful to see CJP still teaching how to cook amazing meals while entertaining people with his larger than life personality, and I'm thrilled you were able to enjoy this little bit of history. CJP is a true culinary master and treasure trove of cooking knowledge.
...thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! Been a fan of his channel for a few years. This was so nice to see! The only thing that has changed about him is the color of his hair. The energy, the love for cooking, sharing recipes etc. still remains! My favorite Chef on RU-vid, my favorite Chef, PERIOD!!!
No one has ever taught cooking in such a wholesome way, and he's still at it. The man is a national treasure even though he's not strictly from this nation (USA) :)
Except at 6:10 (I think he was discouraged from saying "onyo" by the producers of this series because not many people knew the French/ New Orleans pronunciation of onion 🧅 back then).
So great to see him in his younger days, he hasn't changed in all those years. He tried to always say onion in those days but would sometimes forget and say it like he does now -- oniyo. Chef Jean Pierre is the greatest of all time! 🙂
I’ll be perfectly honest with everyone, I can’t stand celebrity chefs or cooking shows. But Chef Jean Pierre is the exception to my rule. His approach to cooking is different. It’s educational and entertaining but best of all there’s no ego trip with him. I watch as many of Chefs videos as I can. Thank you Chef for all your videos 👍
Wow, wow....... wow! Thank you SOOOO much for this video! I knew he had a restaurant in south Florida from his current (2024) youtube references but I had no idea he had this storied a career. Thank you for helping him with awesome music. He is precisely the same effervescent fellow then that he is today. Silver fox now, gorgeous flowing locks then are about the only difference I can tell. He is indeed a force of nature and indefatigably positive! Dat boy can COOK! Peaceful Skies
I know most comments are about Chef JP, and that is why I stopped by as well, great to see the young man! But I also wanted to give you props on the music. It is playful and fun, just like Chef! Very fitting, cheers!
Thank you very much! Much appreciated. It’s always a challenge to find the musical identity of a show, but CJP’s big, fun personality laid the blueprint for every note.
I absolutely love this man. I've learned so much from him in recent years. I haven't seen him in the beginning. He's exactly the same which says so much or his character. ❤❤❤
Amazing to see the chef when he was much younger and some of the things that have changed like the horizontal cuts on the shallot, I think he doesn't do that in his current videos. Still just as entertaining back then as he is now
Right? It's the timbales in there that does it. Back then, Miami Sound Machine was truly the embodiment of the "sound of Miami" and broke the Miami sound of that era all over the world, so I can totally see that. Gloria's husband Emilio was a fixture on the Miami arts scene and it's kind of one of those things where he was influenced by the local culture that, he in turn, influenced back to the popular culture of the day. Miami Vice, of course, and the overall vibrancy of the look they gave the city on that show was tremendously influential in how every production coming out of South Florida was shot as well.
OMG I LOVE this!!! You haven't changed a day. This is so much fun to watch. I grew up in FLL and I'm sorry I didn't know you then. I missed out for sure. I cook your dishes all the time and they're all so good! I wish I could upload photos here of your meatloaf, stuffed peppers, steak, etc...Thank you for sharing such fine cooking with us. Best chef and teacher ever❤
