Jacques Pépin Chicken Jardinière Recipe

Tony Bourdain once said: “If Jacques Pepin shows you how to roast a chicken THAT’S how you roast a chicken.”

I could listen to him talk about food all day.  His mother would be proud, he is just so lovely.

One quote that caught me (and a reason I especially love Mr. Pepin) -- "It's good to follow the recipe...At least once...So that you know what it tastes like. And after that you should make it your own." He gets that recipes aren't always static. And that everyone like slight variations. He loves the craft and loves us. The Bob Ross of cooking shows.

Jacques' quiet passion and complete lack of any pretentiousness is just an absolute treasure. I love learning from him.

(...) and now we can have a glass of wine (...). I love this man

I think we're very fortunate to still have Jacques around. His incredible story and and influence on the culinary world aside, he has also been a great example of what it means to have class and sincerity. I wish I could meet him someday.

This is indescribably relaxing

"I feel that if Jacques Pepin shows you how to make an omelet, the matter is pretty much settled. That's God talking". - Anthony Bourdain

Give me Jacques over all other chefs.  He is a national treasure!

I'm sure she was very, very proud of you, Monsieur Pépin. This dish looks fabulous. She must have been a wonderful cook.

How lucky we are to have the incomparable Jacques Pepin make these videos! Your mother would be very proud, Chef!

Jacques is Bob Ross of coking to me, he has so calming voice and produce beautiful results

That man can mince some garlic!!!

I've watched many videos of Jacques Pépin in the last year or so, and this one has instantly become one of my favorites. Mr Pépin, you are a delight to watch; thank you for the genuine way your share your authantic passion for cooking. You do it with such class, with so much contagious pleasure, and with a like-no-other smile, kindness and marvelous "candeur"; we are very found of you indeed :) May you cook -and drink wine! - for many more years to come :) Un grand bonjour d'un français depuis son Afrique du Sud d'adoption. Bien cordialement

I remember Tony Bourdain saying: “if Jacques Pepin tells you how to roast a chicken, THAT’S how you roast a chicken.” I wish Tony were still with us.

The charm of this dude is awesome

I truly love this man. He reminds me of my father, who loved to cook. Jacques' recipes are simple yet so elegant. Thanks, Sur la Table, for presenting.

The master. I've never been trained as a chef but I love to cook and I watch all is videos. One of the great legends of cooking.

I absolutely love this man. His mother would be proud of all of his accomplishments!!

A true master. Taught me how to cook a perfect omelette (two ways, classic French and country version).
