What Our Students Are Saying

"I just love this course! I never would have attempted a soufflé before having the information and the techniques we are learning from Chef Pépin. He keeps things simple and easily understandable. After completing Maman's Cheese Soufflé last week, I gained the confidence to try this Grand Marnier Orange Soufflé with a Creme Anglaise Sauce. . . I am thoroughly enjoying the course and it is really fun and educational. Chef Jacques Pépin is a gem!”
John D., Course Participant
"I have enjoyed this class beyond anything I could have imagined! The content, the presentation, the recipes, and, of course, Jacques Pépin himself...it all came together to create a positive and affirming atmosphere of simple ingredients and simple techniques that added up to delicious food and confidence in creating it. I would sign up for a second Jacques Pépin course in a hot second. I hope there is one in the works. I appreciate the staff at Rouxbe for this and all the other courses you have put together over the years! Cheers and Happy Cooking!

I made potato leek soup tonight for dinner (not for a grade) and I have to say, the things I have learned so far, are a game changer for me. I feel more confident. My knife cuts are killing it!! (Not literally but you know what I mean.)

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.

Jacques Pépin

"Whether it is in painting, in cooking, in cabinet making or any other craft, you have to become a good technician and repeat and repeat until you reach the point where you have so internalized those skills that they become an unconscious part of you."
