Jacques Pépin Cookbook and Menus Set Harvest Publications

Set includes the following: 

•Jacques Pépin Poulets & Legumes: My Favorite Chicken and Vegetable Recipe

•Menus: A Book for your Meals and Memories

From the world-renowned chef and celebrated artist, a must-have collection of everyday and elegant chicken and vegetable recipes

The legendary cooking teacher whom GQ calls “the most impactful living chef in America” shares his favorite chicken and vegetable recipes from a half-century career spanning two continents. Some, like Poulet à la Crème and Baker’s Wife Potatoes, recall the country French dishes of his childhood, while Chicken with Cognac Sauce and Velvet Spinach come from his days in fine French restaurants. Most, though, are born in his contemporary Connecticut kitchen. All have that trademark Pépin touch: made with just a few steps but sublime enough for company, from Roast Split Chicken with Mustard Crust to Caramelized Tomatoes Provençal. Charmingly illustrated with Pépin’s paintings, this little compendium is perfect for revitalizing every cook’s repertoire.

An illustrated journal to record celebrations, with paintings by the legendary chef and artist Jacques Pépin

For the last fifty years, Jacques Pépin has created lushly hand-illustrated journals to keep track what he cooked for friends, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and holidays. This book collects Pépin’s favorite paintings so you can commemorate your own dinners: the dishes you serve, the wines that accompany them, and even the music you play. Choose from the more than 75 charmingly designed borders and use it to frame your menu. In the space on the opposite page, your guests can sign their names and write little notes.
With an introduction by Pépin, this “dinner diary” is both a practical reminder of what dishes were served to which guests and an invaluable archive of memories.
