The Home Cook Gathering Guide has all you need for your event, so you can live the JPF mission at home. We hope you will bring your loved ones around the table to cook and create community, furthering culinary education for all.
As you determine what kind of event you will host, consider how many guests your home or venue can accommodate and how much cooking you want to do.
Explore recipes from Jacques' classic television shows, connect with a Jacques Pépin Foundation Grantee near you (many of which offer catering!), or let nostalgia be your guide for a potluck menu of family favorites.
Decide if you will fundraise through direct donations or inspired giving, then determine how you will collect donations and set a goal for your event.
Eager to support the JPF, but nervous about asking friends to donate? Host an event, and make your own donation to the JPF.
Use your invitation to set the tone for your gathering and inspire your guests' generosity.
Add your date and details to our template in Canva, customize the content of our sample email invitation, or use your favorite paperless invite platform to send digital invitations.
Whether you're a novice or seasoned chef, explore some of Jacques' favorite recipes organized by season on his hand-painted menu borders. Mix and match, cook yourself or organize a potluck — the choice is yours!
Find the right recipes and learning style for you:
Welcome guests with a video greeting from Jacques and share the “Happy Cooking” spirit!
Your gathering will only last a short time, but the memories can endure forever!
Photos from your event don't need to be fancy! Just use a camera phone to capture images and video of the food, drinks, and people at your party.
Share your photos, updates, and stories to encourage your friends and followers to donate and get involved. Be sure to tag the JPF on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube so we can see it!
Instagram can add an online fundraiser if you tag @jacquespepinfoundation in your post or story and click “Create fundraiser” if you like.
Your gathering brought people together in the spirit of community and culinary education. Please share your gratitude and gift to make an even greater impact!
