"If Jacques Pepin says this is how you roast a chicken, then that's how you roast a motherf***ing chicken." - Anthony Bourdain.

Current day celebrity chefs don't come close to Chef Pepin, no need for drama, foul language etc. Just skill, passion and a love of good food. A treasure indeed.
-
This young man will have a great future ahead of him as a Chef.
-
The man is an absolute treasure. An incredible teacher and his knowledge is so deep. Never get tired of watching him cook and learning something every time
-
I just tried this method of roasting and making a simple sauce. I'm blown away. I've been over complicating roast chicken so much! Thanks Jacques! 👏
-
This guy is 88 years old and still he's sharp and a beacon for everybody in his trade! A true Master (with capital "M")
-
He makes all these so-called Youtube / TV / personalities ... look like apprentices.. REAL COOKING
-
I literally learned to cook from Jacque on Saturday mornings after the cartoons ended. His "Cooking with Claudine" series was my favorite. I still remember how he lovingly taught her to keep her fingers curled under while using a knife so she didn't cut herself. That and "Yan Can Cook," were my saving grace as a little kid. Thanks to everyone who does this sort of thing. Y'all make the world a more beautiful place. Thanks KQED for posting. This is one I haven't tried yet, but it is surely on the list.

Discover this guy back in the 90s when I used to watch all the PBS cooking shows. Him and Julia were a hoot together. Excellent Chef is an understatement for this man .
-
Jacques and Julia. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.
-
Forgive me if it's already happened, but J.P. deserves a visit to the Oval Office and a medal for teaching Americans to cook simply, and feed their families well. A Croix de Guerre for a Chef who has fought the "Good Fight."
-
Best roasted chicken I've ever roasted...wife said so!! Just have to get that carving technique on the wings down better.
-
I watched him when I was a young lad. Still love to see him cooking now!
-
This is the reason i am a chef of 30 yrs experience, the first cookery tv show i ever watched as a child. Thankyou
-
This is of the most beautiful roast chickens I've seen...I watch lots of cooking videos and then Jacques always shows a unique way that makes so much more sense, is simpler, and results in a much better end result. So much knowledge and experience goes into his cooking, in this case the little tips like trussing and rotating without the use of any special roasting pan. Too good.
-
An absolute grandmaster of his own class. It's already a pleasure to watch him at work.
-
Such easiness. That has always been the hallmark of his cooking. How can the master teach the student to improve? You don't even need a written recipe to make his dishes. AND, the best part? Many many times, Chef says "Make it the way you're taught first. Then you can make it your own to YOUR taste". He TRUSTS us to experiment with flavor.

After a long week - I love spending Friday nights watching Jacques' videos - no matter how old they are... there's something so soothing watching and listening to him. I'm reminded of my grandparents who taught me how to cook and listening to their stories of growing up in the 1920s; or them telling me about their parents who were born in Italy - and how they learned to cook from their parents. Jacques is just delightful. <3

Fucking master class. The way he handles food is supernaturally confident and graceful. He keeps getting better and better.
