Citrus Thrill (202): Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way

Minute Recipe: Cured Herring Starter.
Jacques fires up the kitchen with a mouth-watering Skirt Steak Grandma accented with freshly squeezed lime in anchovy and garlic sauce. He complements this hearty dish with a classic Gnocchi with Eggs and Scallions and Sauteed Curly Mustard Greens with Hot Sausage. The elegantly presented Chestnut Cream Mont-Blanc, with crushed pieces of scrumptious biscotti, chestnut puree, and whipped cream, is simply a delicious ending.

What amazes me is that nothing is prepped, like things are on other cooking shows. He can cook a starter, main and pudding in less than 30 minutes. Damn, he's good!

Did he just call water "Chateau Sink?" LOL! Jacques is the man.

that's 'comeau' pickled herring! I'm pretty damn sure, anyway - it's from Nova Scotia, my beautiful home province in Canada. If you're gonna get that stuff, buy the 'house blend.' Lunch blend is too fishy for my taste

@xinavx fairly recognized; i work in a kitchen and the old guys talk about when food processors became a big thing, and i guess cuisinart was the first. They call em the 'cweeze"

@Jakathera He's using cuisinart. He gets them for free, so I don't think he cares. Not sure it's recommended though!

[Jakathera]

I would love to know what kind of nonstick pan he uses that he can use metal utensils and it still stay pristine... really, I'd love to know

All of that "fresh" crap that Ramsay talks about is ridiculous. He himself doesn't even use "fresh" food items all of the time. Frozen vegetables, pre made terrines, par-cooked risottos, dried pasta, frozen and thawed meat and fish, dried spices and herbs. Those are hardly "fresh" according to his "standards". The most important thing about being a "chef" is being able to use what you have on hand, and that is exactly what Jack Seed does; and phenomanally well at that!! Blessings to Pepin

@gateboyatlivedotcom Of course this show is about practicality and using things most people have in their pantry to make a delicious and elegant meal. The only "fresh" items are used in the main course.

@gateboyatlivedotcom This cat's the real deal.

Let's pardon him the precooked gnocchi omelette.
