Description

Jacques Pépin’s memoir, The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen, was published in paperback this spring (2004) by Houghton Mifflin after the hardcover edition of the book, published last spring (2003) by Houghton, became a national bestseller. Next on the horizon, in the fall of 2004, is a new PBS-TV series and companion cookbook, both entitled Jacques Pépin: Fast Food My Way. The book and 26-show series, taped at KQED-TV in San Francisco, pay tribute to a very simple cuisine, with recipes that require little work and fit nicely into the fast-paced lifestyles of people today.

One of America's best-known chefs, food columnists, cookbook authors, and cooking teachers, Pépin also appeared recently on public television with his daughter, Claudine, in the acclaimed public television series, “Jacques Pépin Celebrates,” which featured recipes for holidays and celebrations. The companion cookbook to the series, also called Jacques Pépin Celebrates (Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2001) was named best book in the Entertaining and Special Occasions category at the James Beard Awards in May, 2002. Also published in 2001, Jacques Pépin’s Complete Techniques (Black Dog and Leventhal Publishers, New York, 2001) is an updated, one-volume version of Pépin’s earlier classics, La Technique (1976) and La Methode (1979).

Pépin was born in Bourg-en-Bresse, near Lyon. His first exposure to cooking was as a child in his parents' restaurant, Le Pelican. At age thirteen, he began his formal apprenticeship at the distinguished Grand Hotel de L’Europe in his hometown. He subsequently worked in Paris, training under Lucien Diat at the Plaza Athénée. From 1956 to 1958, Pépin was the personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.
