Lisa Saunders first spoke to Jacques Pépin, of Madison, Connecticut, when interviewing him over the phone for an article she was writing on Julia Child, Pépin's friend and one-time TV co-host. The article will appear in her "Widow/ers of History" column in the Nov./Dec. issue of Pathfinder magazine.
Jacques Pépin filmed his 14th PBS-TV cooking series, Jacques Pépin Heart & Soul at KQED In San Francisco, CA, last fall. The series is scheduled to air in the fall of 2015, in time for Pépin’s 80th birthday. A companion cookbook to the series, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers, will be released in early October 2015.
Pépin was born in France. His love for cooking developed when, as a child, he helped in his parents’ restaurant. He ultimately served as personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.
After moving to the United States in 1959, Pépin first worked at a historic French restaurant in New York City. He later became director of research and new development for Howard Johnson’s and was charged with developing a line of food for the restaurant chain. At the same time, he earned his bachelor’s degree, then a master’s in 18th-century French literature at Columbia University.
Pépin starred in a PBS series with culinary icon Julia Child called "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home." The 22-episode series won an Emmy Award and a James Beard Foundation Award in 2001.
A former columnist for The New York Times, Pépin is a contributing editor to Food & Wine Magazine. Pépin was awarded France’s highest civilian honor, the Legion of Honor medal, in 2004. He continues to teach at Boston University and is dean of special programs at the International Culinary Center in New York City.
