Excellent read. I always like Jacques but more so after reading his autobiography.

Yes on the technique, but I cringe at his use of metal utensils in the nonstick pans.
I hadn’t noticed. I do see that he’s a bit casual about reaching into the salt bin and then handling raw chicken, back and forth. I’m somewhat guilty of that at times, too.

I loved watching him in season 11 of Top Chef, where he fileted fish made the tomato flowers
I got Top Chef on the brain. So many things he’s good on. I have that book. I should probably read it.

Here’s Pepin making a French omelet in a nonstick pan, scraping it with the fork.
Listening to this one

I just finished A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle, again. I still love it.

I met an architect who told me he loved all the books, even the one written by his “dog.” So I read all of them too and enjoyed them.
Have you read the Herriot books? I’ve read all of them and still remember the stories of this vet in Yorkshire, Tricky Woo etc.

How To Be Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable by Ben Aldridge. So far, interesting.
Now this one, although it’s a bit more of a struggle.
A Morning for Flamingoes by James Lee Burke
I’ve enjoyed reading his “caper” books.
