Celebrate Jacques

Celebrate Jacques’ 90th Birthday Nationwide

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.

Upcoming 90/90 Virtual Events

October 16, 2024

As part of our nationwide 90/90 Celebration Campaign, the Jacques Pépin Foundation is excited to present a series of virtual events featuring Jacques’ culinary friends, Gail Simmons, Jacques Torres and Paola Velez. These interactive online events are designed to celebrate Jacques’ legacy while spreading culinary education and raising funds for the JPF’s mission.
