Jacques Pépin on passing on his culinary lessons to generations

"I wanted to prepare food that is simple but elegant—and more than anything, I wanted it to be fun."

This week, we're excited to welcome Jacques Pépin to SALT + SPINE, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.

Jacques is an award-winning chef, cookbook author, host of several television cooking shows and much more. He's also a grandfather, showcased in his latest work, A Grandfather's Lessons: In the Kitchen with Shorey. The book features simple, fun, and elegant recipes for all ages.
