Jacques Pepin - Happy Cooking His Way

Happy Cooking are the two words that now are the trademark on recipes of master chef and culinary artist and educator Jacques Pepin. The French born public television star and author joined us to talk about his most recent book - Cooking My Way: Recipes and Techniques for Economical Cooking. We talked of cooking seasonally; using leftovers; the perfect omelet or souffle; and cooking at home; as well as Jacques as painter and illustrator and the Jacques Pepin Foundation. We were also able to delve into important and dramatic highlights of his biography, including the terrible car accident that changed his life; cooking for Charles DeGaulle; turning down JFK and Jackie for Howard Johnson and his friendship with Julia Child. An exquisite and enlightening hour with one of the world's most beloved chefs.
