Enriching lives and strengthening communities through the power of culinary education.
Chill the Champagne and stock up on birthday candles, because Jacques Pépin is going to turn 90 next year! That’s something to commemorate in and of itself, but at the Jacques Pépin Foundation we’re planning to celebrate both the man and the mission of the JPF.
October 17, 2024
Jacques has been up to much more than just celebrating his birthday at our 90/90 events! Along with culinary luminaries Joan Nathan, Sean Sherman, Grace Young, and many more, Jacques celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Julia Child Foundation Award at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, DC on October 17.
Jacques shares quick and easy recipes in his “Cooking at Home” series. For a more in-depth exploration of Jacques' technique, check out “Jacques Pépin: A Legacy of Technique” online culinary course.
We are all equal in the eyes of the stove.
