About

Born in 1935 in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, near Lyon, Pépin always found the kitchen to be a place of both comfort and excitement. He helped in his parents' restaurant, Le Pélican, and, at age 13, began an apprenticeship at the Grand Hôtel de L'Europe. He subsequently worked in Paris, ultimately serving as personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.

After moving to the United States in 1959, Pépin first worked at Le Pavillon, an historic French restaurant in New York City. From 1960 to 1970, he was director of research and new development for Howard Johnson's and developed recipes for the restaurant chain. At the same time, he earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Columbia University.

Author of more than 30 books, he published his first cookbook, The Other Half of the Egg, with Helen McCully in 1967, the same year that his only daughter, Claudine was born. Pépin released his seminal text, La Technique, in 1976, and his autobiography, The Apprentice, in 2003. Jacques is also an accomplished artist, which he was able to showcase in his most recent book, The New York Times- bestse
