Smooth Food (216): Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way
Minute Recipe: Surimi Salad on Greens. With daughter Claudine visiting the kitchen, Jacques uses a local blue cheese to make Mini Savory Cheesecakes on Arugula. Even when Claudine forgets to coat the sides of the soufflé dishes with breadcrumbs, they can still be unmolded for serving! Steamed Scrod Packages in Pimiento Sauce and Butternut Squash Sauté complete the menu’s savory dishes, leaving a comforting Tapioca Banana Coconut Pudding for dessert.
if she wasn't married man oh man
Get rid of the Daughter !!! Jacques needs no one !!!
Claudine is his daughter, she cooks very well, she had a life long of learning. So much envy here, this is a formal show, she has to pretend that she doesn't know how to cook, that will give him opportunity to answer and explain things necessary for the show.
Claudine is awesome…I love their Chemistry
Is there an 11th commandment that I haven't heard about concerning living legend chefs must not in any way involve their daughters who don't know how to cook in their tv shows??!!! besides claudine being so nice, who says she has to know cooking just because she has a great chef for a father?.. and this also is nice in that obviously noone in the family pushed her to follow her father's footsteps..
yeah.. you disposable di**heads "despise the daughter" and go watch a maniac guy who built a career by saying fuck 240 times in a minute! don't count me his michelin stars which he maintained by putting down discipline with constant intimidation and Hitler-ish attitude.. that's the show and guy you deserve, just don't watch true masters who hang around with their daughters (who does NOT HAVE TO know how to cook!).. just bugger off
Despise the daughter
look, theres no possible way a young women who cooks for friends and family can possibly compare to a top shelf pro whose been cooking for hundereds of people a day everyday for fifty years, o.k. that guy is a long time major leauge pro. frist class resturants packed dining rooms,big hotels with banquetes for 1000 people
everyday FOR YEARS AND YEARS
Having Jacques yell 'NOT LIKE THIS!' when Claudine's handling the fish, might as well precede any action she takes in the kitchen. I get that TV is an illusion and that acting a bit dimmer than you really are can be a subtle learning tool for the audience… But if one really is a trained chef, it's an insult to your profession and years of experience to 'blunder' about and ask so many 'cooking 101' questions that it looks like the only chef you ever trained with was Boyardee…
for 4 hours i've been watching pepin's shows continuously. the only bad thing he did was making me hungry!!!
eww he licked his fingers and touched food gross
Hear, hear! Chef Pepin is the BEST
I've never had a problem with his daughter – I like that she's kind of EveryJane who watches the show and has the obvious questions. But he's a bit condescending towards her.
I think she is cool and I like her. She's lucky to have such an awesome father.
