Jacques Pepin Volume 1
So, I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this before, but I have a total man crush on Jacuqes Pepin. He’s pretty much the only cook that matters. Only reason you don’t feel the same way is that you aren’t familiar with him.
Lets fix that.
First, go find him on KQED or PBS and you want his “Complete Pepin” DVDs. Now, if you’re going to be a turd about this and not buy the only DVD that could make you respectable in the kitchen, go find him on YouTube. Most of his shows are free. The DVD however, is not the same, it’s his techniques. Not recipes and meals.
Let me show you what you get on the first DVD. I’m not drunk or anything starting the list at two. It corresponds to a magical system of numbering based of the DVD titles I yanked.
