Layered Elegance (207): Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way

Episode 207: Layered Elegance. Minute Recipe: Rice Paper Rolls with Avocado and Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Jacques shows his daughter Claudine how presentation can make a simple, traditional dish truly elegant by layering feta, cucumber and onion with tomato slices to make his Tall Greek Tomato Salad. Poached Salmon in Sour Cream Herb Sauce follows as Jacques reveals his father’s dislike of olive oil to Claudine. Together they make a variation of his mother’s recipe, Stew of Peas and Carrots — a meal in itself! Dessert is pure simplicity with Sweet Riccota Gateaux with Peach Sauce.

    HE IS A GOOD CHEF BUT I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN HE LICKS HIS FINGERS AND PUT THEM BACK IN THE FOOD THAT IS DISGUSTING.

    dont put lemon in greek salad! only olive oil and maybe a small dash of white vinegar if you like, but no lemon. Jacques Pépin is the best!!!

    See you are in a restaurant and present it in the conventional way, you charge 3.50, you serve it this way you charge 15 dollars.

    dissing claudine is pointless, she is NOT a chef
    she hasn't cooked for hundereds sometimes thousands of people a day, everyday for fifty years.
    there is no young person on earth who can match a jacques pepin or one of his peers
    it takes a lifetime
    just bask in the glory of one whos paid that price
    and count yourself lucky to even have the chance to learn from one of these men.

    When he cut the salmon she said he's cool… Finally, Claudine and I agree on something.

    Thanks! I live in Germany and the baking soda is available at any drug store here, but what do you mean with "peroxide" exactly? Is it hydrogen peroxide ??

    Wipe it clean with a damp rag, pour peroxide over the board, let sit for 2 or 3 minutes, dry with a towel, sprinkle with baking soda and rub with a damp sponge to remove stains if needed, remove any odors with vinegar. Your butcher block is now clean.

    How would you clean such a big fat wood cutting board like he always uses?
    I picked one up for my kitchen but it's too big for the sink actually 🙁

    It's interesting that despite growing up with him, his daughter is still amazed by his skill in the kitchen.
