"Jacques Pépin -- the food he cooks at home with family and friends. There are the simple dinners Jacques prepares for his wife, like the world's best burgers (the secret is ground brisket). There are elegant dinners for small gatherings, with tantalizing starters like Camembert cheese with a pistachio crust and desserts like little foolproof chocolate soufflés. And there are the dishes for backyard parties, including grilled chicken tenderloin in an Argentinean chimichurri sauce. Spiced with reminiscences and stories, this book reveals the unorthodox philosophy of the man who taught millions how to cook, revealing his frank views on molecular gastronomy, the locovore movement, Julia Child and James Beard, and how to raise a child who will eat almost anything. A must-have cookbook. Jacques Pépin is an internationally recognized French chef. He has published twenty-five cookbooks, including The Essential Pépin, Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way, and his memoir, The Apprentice. His current PBS Television cooking series is "Jacques Pépin Heart & Soul."--Provided by publisher.

Companion book to the final PBS series.
