Review:
"Prose as joyful and rich as the author's food."
Kirkus, 02/15/2003
Review:"[A] delicious book. Pépin's tale is of a meteoric rise accomplished by a maniacally hard worker moving at a frenetic pace....[I]t is passion rather than ambition that carries Pépin's story forward....[F]ew relationships go sour in this savory book. Put simply, Pépin has a big heart...."
Stacy Schiff, New York Times Book Review, 05/04/2003

Book Description: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 211 x 141 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A wise and charming memoir from a man who quickly ascended the ranks of American cooks to become, according to Julia Child, "the best chef in America" With sparkling wit, occasional humility, and a delightfully curated selection of recipes, Jacques Pepin tells the captivating story of his rise from a terrified thirteen-year-old toiling in an Old World French kitchen to an American superstar--he was one of the earliest pioneers of culinary television--who changed American tastes with his culinary wizardry and ad-libbed charm. "The Apprentice" begins in prewar France, with young Jacques cutting his teeth in his mother's small restaurants. When he moves to Paris, we see tantalizing glimpses of Sartre and Genet, and in his role as Charles de Gaulle's personal chef, Jacques witnesses history from a remarkable vantage point behind the swinging kitchen door. In America, he rejects an offer to be chef in the Kennedy White House, choosing instead to work at Howard Johnson's, and then joins forces with fellow food lovers Julia Child, James Beard, and Craig Claiborne to make some history of his own. In the words of Anthony Bourdain, it's an instant classic. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780618444113 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
