Food with Mark Bittman: Jacques Pépin
My old friend Jacques Pépin has a new book out called Cooking My Way: Recipes and Techniques for Economical Cooking, which focuses on how to save money, time, and effort in the kitchen. Jacques is obviously a famous chef, and a brilliant one, but he’s also the best home cook I’ve ever met. He’s a chef with a home cook’s sensibility, and has never stopped being inventive.
We had him on the podcast a year ago, and it was an episode that many people loved, so we thought now would be a good time to bring it back. (The recipe I talk about on the episode, Eggs Jeannette, is here.)
