Editorial Reviews:

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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Lots of techniques, very little cooking
Comment: This set is good if you want to learn specific techniques, but not if you want to see recipes cooked from start to finish. The few actual cooking segments are not easy to find and you spend a lot of time going back and forth to the main menu. The set is instructional, but not entertaining. If you want to be amused and instructed, try Julia & Jacques Cooking At Home

Summary: Jacques Pepin - guarantee of quality
Comment: 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 :)

Summary: Chef Pepin is an excellent teacher
Comment: 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.

Comment: The Complete Pepin: Techniques and Recipes
The techniques are helpful, well-explained and beautifully executed. My only problem is there's no "view all" or "view entire section". I get to view one technique and get returned to the menu to manually select the next one.

Summary: amazing technique
Comment: 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.
