    I'm not someone who get suuuuper excited by meat+potato dishes, but I wanted to see what Pépin had to say about it, and I can't believe how many things I learned from this episode. I love how he describes the HOW and WHY the recipe works, and gives alternate methods too.

    Wow! All of this so incredibly wonderful. I truly can't think of a yummier comfort food then beef stew. Of course I'm so looking forward to St. Patrick's day corned beef and cabbage which I guess can be defined as a stew! Thank you chef!

    It is so interesting to hear Jaques, talk and demonstrate his tecqniques during his younger days, faster talking, faster movements and now in 2020, as he has aged when he demonstrates in his latest cooking shows, he is slower in his comments, actions still exact, but simpler recipes and always a delicious outcome. Ah… Wisdom.

    Funny how little known was the Malbec grape then. And now? Well, Argentina, yes. French Malbec still mystifies many.

    The beef roast looks amazing and reminds a little of corning, so called corned beef with all the spices and vegetables. Yet not the same. Timely, different.

    Well done KQED, I just bought some corned beef and cabbage sausages at the Ferry Building along with some Bangers. Should be good.

    Happy St. Paddy’s Day. 💚

    I made this with a shank cut and it is amazing. It took only 45 minutes in a pressure cooker for a 2 serving piece. I did not even marinate it overnight and it still turned out very rich tasting and tender. For the vegetables, I roasted root vegetables (rutabaga, potato, carrot, parnips etc.) and added some mushrooms to the cooking juice. Roasting it is a very good alternative to boiling because you get some very tasty caramalization of the sugars.
