Jacques Pepin is an inspiration
The man has been a master chef for decades and has the wisdom of the ages to impart.  HIs love of food and wine is infectious and his skills, which he shares and demonstrates, freely have changed the way I cook.  His techniques are ingenious and the food is glorious.  I would never have thought to put a bit of olive oil on an ordinary glass dinner plate and roast fish in the oven upon it (Tuna Steaks, 200 degrees for 20 minutes for rare).  For those of you who are serious cooks and who feel that watching a group of people engage in a &#34;bake off&#34; or &#34;cook off&#34; is a huge waste of your time (it is), watch Jacques instead.
