There&rsquo;s simply no one in the world like French chef &ndash; and culinary icon &ndash; Jacques P&eacute;pin.&nbsp; The Emmy- and James Beard Foundation Award winner worked in more than 100 restaurants before becoming the Director of Research and Development for Howard Johnson&rsquo;s. He then transitioned to educating the public in proper French cooking methods through his groundbreaking cookbooks like &ldquo;La Technique&rdquo; and his latest, &ldquo;Jacques P&eacute;pin Cooking My Way: Recipes and Techniques for Economical Cooking;&rdquo; as well as through his numerous television series like &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s Gourmet&rdquo; and &ldquo;Every Day Cooking.&rdquo; He is also the co-founder of the culinary certificate program at Boston University and founder of The Jacques P&eacute;pin Foundation, which teaches underserved populations a path to employment through cooking. Alec speaks with Chef P&eacute;pin about how his family&rsquo;s work in restaurants influenced his path, why he&rsquo;s made the pivots he has throughout his career, and what a revered chef likes to eat in his downtime.&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally aired February 6th, 2024.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
