Master chef Jacques Pépin talks about selecting his favorite recipes from the thousands he has created, streamlining them for his latest cookbook, Essential Pepin: More than 700 All-Time Favorites from My Life in Food. It also includes a searchable DVD demonstrating every technique a cook will ever need, and includes classic recipes, from Linguine with Clam Sauce and Vegetables to Five-Peppercorn Steak to Mémé’s Apple Tart, which his mother made every day in her Lyon restaurant.
