Jacques Pépin was a friend of Julia Child and cooked for France's president. His new memoir, complete with paintings and recipes, is dedicated to an ingredient that brings him the most joy: chicken.
Jacques Pépin
When you deal with state dinners, like with [President] Eisenhower, then you deal with the protocol usually. Otherwise, during the week, on Monday I'd usually sit down with [Madame Yvonne de Gaulle] and do the menu for the week. And certainly on Sunday they were very devout Catholics. So after church it was the family dinner, children, grandchildren and so forth. So at that point they ate what they wanted, the way they wanted.
The second thing is — usually when you do a television series, you come with at least the manuscript of a book so that the back kitchen has an idea of what you're going to do. There, we had no recipe. She told me to do a list — a list of what you want to do. I did a list of, I don't know, 80 or 100 recipes. And she did the same thing. And I think maybe three of my recipes made it in the whole thing [laughs]. But I didn't care. With Julia, we had no recipe, no time frame.
