Jacques Pepin

Book for non-cooks too
My husband loves to cook, and enjoys Jacques Pepin. While I've watched the show to keep my husband company, I'm not much of a cook, but loved this book. It was interesting, entertaining and even got me to read some recipes (not my thing either!). I've since passed it ...

Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques

Jacques Pépin

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2001

Not for beginners
This is not a book for beginners. This is a book for people who have some chops, but who want a reference manual. Ignore everybody who complains about the photos: they will never produce meal after meal. They are too busy complaining. This is a master-work.

My Favorite Cookbook Yet!
I am very health conscious, so the title of this cookbook grabbed my attention. I did not even know who Mr. Pepin was. I purchased the cookbook on a whim, and have not been sorry, yet. I did not know healthy cooking could taste so good. As one reviewer said, it is all ...

Jacques Pépin More Fast Food My Way
