Meet Jacques Pépin

Jacques Pépin is the author of more than 30 cookbooks, host of 13 PBS television series, winner of numerous James Beard Awards, painter, and culinary educator. He has served as personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle, and is also the recipient of countless accolades, including the American Public Television’s Lifetime Achievement Award and La Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest civilian honor. In 2016, Jacques and his closest family founded the Jacques Pépin Foundation to help individuals who have faced hardship find employment through culinary education. An American Masters film chronicling his life, "Jacques Pépin: The Art of Craft", debuted on PBS in May of 2017. His most recent book, Art of the Chicken, is his celebration both artistic and culinary of the humble bird, and is a New York Times bestseller.

Culinary education can provide confidence, pathways to better health, employment, and independence. To learn more, visit https://jp.foundation.
