Reviews

“…watching this grand chef whip up elegant fast food his way is exciting, and it’s perfect for people with a FedEx-lifestyle. Recommended. Three Stars.” – Video Librarian

The editors of Southwest Airlines’ inflight magazine Spirit have voted Jacques Pepin the Best Television Chef from a Top Ten list which included Emeril Lagasse, G. Garvin, Lidia Bastianinch, Wolfgang Puck, Tina Nordstrom, Mario Batali, Alton Brown, Ming Tsai and Rachael Ray. Spirit said “His french-inspired recipes are always solid, and he’s one of the best technique teachers on television.”

There’s something to be said for watching a cooking demonstration versus reading a recipe in a book. For one thing, we live in the television/computer world and most of us are used to learning from watching, not from reading. Plus, when demonstrating a dish, a chef will often share tips that would probably never make it into a cookbook…Three volumes of Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way demonstrates how to create deliciously elegant meals in minutes. – American Fitness Magazine

“I have to admit I had never heard of Jacques Pépin before reviewing this DVD, but he’s a dab hand at preparing and presenting his meals with a lot of energy and personality. I never really had a passion for cooking, but watching these lessons and trying out one myself turned out to be a whole lot of fun. As a matter of fact, I’m gearing up right now to go to the store and get the ingredients for my next menu. Bon appétit!” -DVDVerdict.com
