One of the most widely known and loved figures in American food media, Frenchman Jacque Pepin is a chef, author, television host, philanthropist, educator and artist.
In this conversation with Fine Dining Lovers’ editor in Chief Ryan King, Pepin recounts his life’s journey from a small, rural landholding in France, through post-war France, cooking for international dignitaries and presidents along the way. And on to America, where he made, and continues to make culinary history.
