 A relaxed Jacques demonstrates and explains his personal cooking at home July 5, 2008

In these DVDs, Jacques is totally relaxed and you get the feeling he is demonstrating his personal methods for cooking in his home. He uses many "short cuts" and substitutions that are never a part of what he does on TV shows. His personality really shines.
It is a wonderful set to have and view (more than once) and reference for your home cooking! I highly recommend this set for all serous home cooks.
 Great stuff but: The audio is terrible February 26, 2008

Jacques Pepin is a hero of mine and one of the very best TV chefs ever. And this series is nothing short of brilliant.
But the audio quality on the discs is simply terrible. I am dumbfounded that no one fixed this before they were released. The sound is so "hot" that everything buzzes, even the lilting organ music that used to make me so wistful while I was watching the show in its original run on PBS.
You can fiddle with your dials to make it bearable, barely. But what a shame. Jacques deserves so much better.
Great series but .... December 23, 2007

Jacques Pepin is my favorite TV chef. His technique is amazing. These recipes are from all segments of his life and they are fairly uncomplicated. I believe this series is Pepin's finest in production style and quality. And the master chef is in great form.
About the DVDs, these are good video transfers but it appears that the audio has been tampered with. The TV broadcast sound quality is very good but the DVD's have an annoying distortion. I don't why they did this but it's clearly intentional because the promo ads have good audio. Also this set is not complete. There should have been 26 shows in this set but two are missing. Why did they make that odd ball decision? There's no chance they will release a DVD of the missing shows.
Fantastic stuff July 17, 2007

Quick recipes from a cooking god, and on DVDs to boot.
Doable by a novice like me, but I'd recommend the often excellent America's Test Kitchen series to start with.
Thanks for the tip and encouragement, Mom. :)
