Legendary Master Chef Jacques Pepin welcomed us to his home and kitchen in Connecticut for a visit recently. We had a chance to sit down and talk about his long career as one of the most famous chefs in the world, cooking for presidents and dignitaries, and also his many years on PBS, sharing with all of us the techniques and know-how that’s helped generations to create fabulous meals in the kitchen. Many of those years on PBS were with Jacques Pepin’s good friend, and fellow chef, Julia Child. We asked him what made their friendship, and cooking shows on PBS, so enjoyable for viewers. Jacques Pepin is releasing his newest cookbook this fall. We’ll tell you all about that next week on Mountain Lake Journal, and the trip Jacques is planning here to the Adirondacks in October when he will be our guest of honor at a gala to support Mountain Lake PBS.
