Earth to Table (213): Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way

Minute Recipe: Melba Toast.
For Jacques, nothing beats an earthy soup to keep you warm during the coldest season and his Hearty Vegetable Bean Soup hits the spot. To spice up the evening, he creates a pocket in boneless chicken breasts to fill with a tasty stuffing in Chicken Supremes with Tapenade and Mushroom Sauce served over Vegetable Couscous. The meal ends on a sweet note with a Pear Compote and freshly baked Almond Crumble Cookies.

I love watching this man's cooking videos. I've spent hours upon hours watching them. Mr. Pepin makes it look so easy but, delicious.

Pepin could go to his grave with all his knowledge, BUT he chooses to share his many years of hard work & hard earned experience for FREE.. That is a test that yields a man with a pure heart

I PUT THE CAPTIONfeature on just before the 11 minute mark and he states he is cooking a urethra..hah, i never enjoyed a translation so much...oh well

If I had a kitchen like that and I could cook as awesomely as monsieur Pepin.....I'd put my bed there and never ever leave my kitchen again!!!!!

[Joe Schmoe]

I've watched many of these episodes and I have to say: I'm grateful for this production. Pepin's techniques seemed to have rubbed off on me enough to boost my confidence to attempt cooking. Before, what seemed like a chore (with lackluster results) now seems like a pleasure. Thank you Jacques, your legacy lives on in the kitchens of others!

He uses salt, pepper, mirepoix, and finishes with chives... Sounds sufficient to me.

[Primordial]

Actually, he says "press them gently."

4 stuffed chicken breasts? I would imagine it would be for 4 people.

Takes a bit of learning to understand his accent - but after that ..... He's awsome. Madeline Kamen was even tougher to understand - but also really a good teacher
