Anyone watching the marathon today on create TV? Jacques Pepin is such a treasure, so softspoken and his love for family and friends shines. Shorey is precious.

Yes, I just love Jacques Pepin. He has a fb page, does a recipe nearly everyday from his home kitchen.

I have difficulty understanding the man when he is on his PBS Show. Needs to enunciate better. I enjoy his recipes in print but have difficulty watching. I have found his tastes are more formal than mine. Much perfer Valeries cooking show on Food.

No, he doesn't need to enunciate better. Maybe it's the sound on your tv that is causing the problem.

Yes, I love it when Create has these cooking show marathons over the weekend! It's so nice to sit and enjoy some great food demonstrations and/or to have such a pleasant background while multitasking.

I like cooking shows, but Jacques Pepin needs to stop licking his fingers.

He even did it when his granddaughter was on, licking his fingers, then touching food he's preparing. What boorish behavior.

Moonlady, the episode may have been filmed prior to the Covid 19 outbreak. I noticed many chefs not using a sterile kitchen over the years. Emeril Lagase is the worst offender.

It was, because that's when I saw that one instance. But there have been many.

For example, less than 10 minutes ago! 😳There he was, making chocolate coquettes, during which he dipped them in chocolate, then proceeded to lick the chocolate off his fingers. Then he picked up assorted, beautiful berries, put them on a dessert--and licked his fingers again. If I land on his program, it's guaranteed that he'll be stuffing his fingers in his yap within a couple of minutes.

This guy is a pig in the kitchen. And he's traveling first-class.

Nope cant understand his thick accent. He mumbles too. He goes OFF if I see him on PBS. Love Lydia and Sarahs Weeknight Meals on PBS.

@Moonlady He needs to stop behaving like that immediately in the Era of Covid 19. If the episode was filmed prior to the outbreak I will give him a pass but if this behavior contiunues I suggest you write to the shows producers. He may be putting the crews life at risk wth his carleless behavior.

@Reever

I don't know when tonight's episode was filmed. Probably before Covid, but his lack of savoir faire is not getting a pass from me lol. There are few things more disgusting than finger-licking.

And here's a WaPo article snippet, mentioning his "habit." It's from a 1977 article, so it seems it's always been part of his repertoire:

A search of public television information and other details via Google indicates that the most recent round of shows Jacques filmed wrapped up in 2016.
