Synopsis: In his more than sixty years as a chef, Jacques P?pin has earned a reputation as a champion of simplicity. His recipes are classics. They find the shortest, surest route to flavour, avoiding complicated techniques. Now, in a book that celebrates his life in food, the worlds most famous cooking teacher winnows his favourite recipes from the thousands he has created, streamlining themeven further. They include Onion Soup Lyonnaise- Style, which Jacques enjoyed as a young chef while bar-crawling in Paris; Linguine with Clam Sauce and Vegetables, a frequent dinner chez Jacques; Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter, which he makes indoors in winter and outdoors in summer; Five-Peppercorn Steak, his spin on a bistro classic; M?m?s Apple Tart, which his mother made every day in her Lyon restaurant; and Warm Chocolate Fondue Souffl?, part cake, part pudding, part souffl?, and pure bliss. Essential P?pin spans the many styles of Jacquess cooking: homey country French, haute cuisine, fast food Jacques-style, and fresh contemporary American dishes. Many of the recipes are globally inspired, from Mexico, across Europe, or the Far East. In the accompanying searchable DVD, Jacques shines as a teacher, as he demonstrates all the techniques a cook needs to know. This truly is the essential P?pin.
