Jacques Pépin has dedicated the majority of his career to teaching technique. His own journey began as a child in his mother's restaurant in Lyon, France, and led him to Paris and the service of French Presidents, then to New York and Le Pavillon. His talent, energy, and charm ingratiated him with America's most influential foodies: James Beard, Helen McCully, Craig Claiborne, and Julia Child.
