Jacques Pepin’s Table – the Complete Today’s Gourmet (Jacques Pepin)

From the cover notes: “Acclaimed for the joyful ease with which he makes classic cuisine simple, healthy, quick to prepare, and even economical, Jacques Pepin has pioneered a contemporary approach that emphasizes a diversity of fresh ingredients, a light touch, and time spent at the table, not in the kitchen.” This volume has over 300 recipes from the 3 seasons of Today’s Gourmet TV series. There are menu and wine suggestions. And there are more than 100 instructional tips and techniques. The recipes are illustrated with photos and with the author’s own drawings.” If you already love to cook French food or are eager to learn, this is a wonderful choice. It’s on my shelf between Julia Child and James Peterson. This is a 1995 first edition with dust jacket in like-new condition. (previously owned)
