Description: It doesn't matter whether you can make the fanciest gourmet meal if you lack the skills to do something as basic as poach an egg. Once you acquire those basic skills, your culinary repertoire is limited only by your imagination. The Complete Pépin is an entire cooking course on DVD that features dozens of techniques that Jacques has sharpened over his decades in the kitchen.
Jacques Pepin - guarantee of quality Perfect thing for everyone who loves cooking. Jacques Pepin gives us opportunity of learning from master, but in simple understood way. Shipping was perfect, even to Poland :)
Chef Pepin is an excellent teacher As someone who trained at The French Culinary Institute, where Chef Pepin is Dean of Special Programs, I can tell you that this DVD will teach you techniques you thought you already knew. Chef Pepin is of course a master technician, but he is also someone from whom you will learn something new each time you watch him work. This DVD covers most basic techniques, and is certainly a steal at under 30 dollars. Like other reviewers, I only wish that PBS had enabled the viewer to "Play All," as I have watched the DVD beginning to end about 4 times, and this certainly would have been convenient.
amazing technique amazing techniques of French cooking developing before our eyes by Mr. Pepin, a very special and talented teacher. I reccommend this DVD for those people who love to cook at home, but never witnessed a classic French chef in action. I've noticed: he took less than one single minute to prepare a whole chicken ready to roast, using only a good knife and his hands. Unbelievable! And much better: anyone can do it! See how to inspire yourself to better cooking ways, taking home Mr. Pepin's lessons.
A great instructional dvd I love this dvd. It teaches you how to poach an egg to how to debone a chicken. I learned so many useful techniques by watching this dvd. I would recommend this dvd to anyone who's looking to get a bang for their buck.
Disappointing Yes I read all the reviews and gambled on the 5-star ratings given... soon as this came I got to watching it and sure enough it's as bad as the honest ones say. The vignettes presented have value but the structure is horrible. As already pointed out by previous posts this gives the core of the techniques but the navigation through the disk is just plain bad... amateurish at best. If you haven't watched the series then it likely won't matter. But I have and I'm sorely disappointed! Don't buy it at this price... this is a 2 for $5.99 video and wait until I donate mine to to Goodwill. Total ripped off and just like I won't return to a crappy restaurant I will not renew my membership with PBS! All it takes is one bad experience, eh.
