    Non-stick pan manufacturer: Do not use metal utensils with this pan. Jacques Pépin: Hold my chives and give me a fork.

  • This man introduced me to poking the yolks before mixing the yolks with the whites. Has saved me a lot of effort over the years.

    It's like being schooled by Yoda. Those were the best looking omelets I've ever seen.

    Bravo Jacques! Of all the treasures Jacques Pepin left us, this is one of my absolute favorites. He's focused, fluid, natural, efficient, relaxed, Jacques is true poetry in motion without trying, full of grace and honesty, purity. Absolute mastery...

    My all time favorite chef. Stating the obvious: he is a wonderfully gifted cook, but more than that, he's such a nice, calm, relaxing presence. A goodhearted human, a rarity.
