I love when retired master chefs give cooking lessons, they're always super simple dishes just prepared perfectly and effortlessly.

The best memories from my childhood was when my grandmother made me crepes with ice cream and banana. My mother was very strict and I always had to eat her healthy vegetarian food( she was Adventist) , but when I was at my grandmother she smothered me with cakes and sweets, meat dishes that was so good, and she was so full of love and kindness, and not religious . I miss her so much.

Me: Crepes for breakfast are too much hassle. Jacques: By the time the butter has melted in this hot pan, my batter is ready. :D

He is the greatest chef of our time. Not only does he cook and create but he instructs beginners in a way that gives them confidence. What a wonderful human being God placed on earth. 🍃♥️🕊

"Usually the first crepe they say its for the dog. eh not for me I use the first crepe" -Jacques Pepin

My daughter returns from France tomorrow and I'm making these for her first breakfast. I can't wait for her reaction. Thanks so much to Chef Jacques Pépin. Quiche is up next.

Cooking lessons from Jacques Pepin, the internet is a powerful tool indeed

I just made crepes from this recipe and it’s the first time my crepes came out looking and tasting like crepes instead of weird pancakes. Jacques does a great job of explaining every step of the way. Rolling and folding really helps when they come out an irregular shape too lol Also making sure the prettier side is the one that shows on the plate.

he had me at dessert fit for a king. I'm going to make these for my son tomorrow. and if he doesn't like it, more for me.

'Pancake Tuesday' or 'Shrove Tuesday' signaled the eve of the Lent Fast back in the Old Sod. As a child I remember my Mother using this exact same recipe for Crepes/Pancakes. I couldn't figure out why, years later, my crepes were so ragged - until I saw Monsieur Pepin in this video. I kept pouring the batter into the center - Doh! My Mom used to juice a couple of lemons and an orange and put the juice in a saucepan with a little butter and some sugar. Heat it until the butter melted and the sugar dissolved - spoon over each crepe and roll them up. Deelicious!

Watched this video after dinner, still full. After he said, “a dessert fit for a king” he had me. Made them just as he said and they were amazing. Thank you

What a man!

Jacque--you don't know how much peace just watching you cook brings.

My mom used this recipe and made crepes a lot. One of her recipes was to fill them with ricotta and egg and mozzarella and make manicotti. They were heavenly. She loved watching Jacques Pepin and Julia Child when we were growing up --lucky us!

When I was a kid my mother, for a Lenten dinner, would occasionally make Hungarian crepes (Palacsinta) filled with homemade grape jelly.

I am a big fan...loved you with Julia...loved you with Claudean.. and your lovely granddaughter... learned so much from you.. THANK YOU! and an incredible artist💜 and soul

True master of the craft. Always loved watching Jacques at work, and still do today.

I love these craftsmen who are proud of their work but modest about themselves.
