ESSENTIAL PEPIN
JACQUES PEPIN
Review:
"One of the great cookbook masters of the world, Pepin has published 26 volumes of recipes (including one with Julia Child) In this, which might be considered his opus, he offers more than 700 of his best French and French-accented dishes from decades of cooking and teaching" (Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)"
Product Description:
In his more than sixty years as a chef, Jacques Pepin has earned a reputation as a champion of simplicity. His recipes are classics. They find the shortest, surest route to flavour, avoiding complicated techniques. Now, in a book that celebrates his life in food, the world's most famous cooking teacher selects his favourite recipes from the thousands he has created, streamlining them even further. They include Onion Soup Lyonnaise-Style, which Jacques enjoyed as a young chef while bar-crawling in Paris; Linguine with Clam Sauce and Vegetables, a frequent dinner chez Jacques; Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter, which he makes indoors in winter and outdoors in summer; Five-Peppercorn Steak, his spin on a bistro classic; Meme's Apple Tart, which his mother made every day in her Lyon restaurant; and, Warm Chocolate Fondue Souffle, part cake, part pudding, part souffle, and pure bliss. "Essential Pepin" spans the many styles of Jacques' cooking: homey country French, haute cuisine, fast food Jacques-style, and fresh contemporary American dishes. Many of the recipes are globally inspired, from Mexico, across Europe, or the Far East.
