The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen
Jacques Pepin
Houghton Mifflin, 2004
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 ...

The Short-Cut Cook: Make Simple Meals with Surprisingly Little Effort
Jacques Pepin
William Morrow Cookbooks, 2001
Easy Access to Good Food
I began cooking from this book about 12 years ago, when it was first released in hardcover. I did not know Jaques Pepin's reputation, I simply wanted recipes one can do quickly. My bottom line on this book is that it succeeded in delivering on the promise of the book's ...

Jacques Pepin's Simple and Healthy Cooking
Rodale Books, 1999
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 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.

Jacques Pépin More Fast Food My Way
Jacques Pepin
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
Great way to eat better
Not having seen the TV programs I bought the book based on some of Jacques Pepins prior work. The format and the menu suggestions are great!
The idea of using the supermarket as your prep cook is wonderful.

French Cooking made easy!
This is the companion book to the PBS series of the same title, also the "sequel" to "Cooking w/ Claudine", the celebrated French chef Jacques Pepin's first cooking show w/ his daughter. Having seen both shows and read both books, I have to say this is a even better ...

Perfect Endings
Looking for something different to cap off a dinner party, I was loaned this book by a friend. I've tried several recipes - all work just as described. I especially like the many 'easy' recipes that take little time, and the fact that many recipes are light on fat. ...

Cuisine Economique
Jacques Pepin
William Morrow & Company, 1992
Good food and good sense
Jacques Pepin never fails me, but this book makes me feel somehow more closely connected to him than his other work. I suppose the philosophy of this book feels very true to his roots--seasonal cooking using good technique with a respect for the economics of a home ...
