The Jacques Pépin Foundation Membership Program has a mission-driven focus and is a philanthropic initiative, providing critical funding for culinary education and community training programs.
The Jacques Pépin Foundation’s Membership Program creates a community of individuals who believe in our mission to empower people through culinary education. The JPF Membership Program contributes to and inspires wellness, equitable education, workforce development, and fosters a culture of integrity and sharing.
JPF Members receive weekly emails highlighting chefs and recipes and gain full access to hundreds of educational cooking videos in the JPF Video Recipe Book, Cook with Jacques Pépin & Friends.

JPF Members participate in a personal way to support the Foundation's mission and advance Jacques' lifelong love of culinary arts education.
For decades, Jacques has brought recipes and culinary techniques to home cooks via video while teaching essential skills to aspiring professionals in academic settings. Culinary skills, and the process of learning these skills, increases self-confidence, improves health outcomes, and creates employment and career opportunities.
