Cooking with the Masters: Jacques Pepin

Jacques Pepin is without a doubt the reigning godfather of French Cuisine.  Having begun his formal kitchen training in 1949 at the age of 13, his list of culinary accomplishments and awards could hardly be summed up as anything less than prolific.  He has been awarded multiple honors from the French Government, served as personal chef for 3 heads of state, written more than 20 cook books, and had a cooking show on television decades before cable TV was even invented.

But what makes Pepin such an inspiring master is his charismatic personality, which is palatable in his teaching style and recipes. When asked to describe his own culinary style, Pepin says “Fresh, Uncomplicated, and Tasty”.
