The Jacques Pépin Foundation supports free culinary and life skills training, through community based organizations, that helps individuals detached from the workforce gain confidence, skills, and employment in food service.
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.
The JPF was proud to support NYC’s Project Renewal at their Annual Benefit on May 8th. This year’s benefit highlighted City Beet Kitchens, the Project Renewal social purpose catering company and the Project Renewal Culinary Arts Training Program, a JPF grant recipient. JPF Director of Operations Marissa Ain and JPF Director of Grants and Membership Jennifer Quigley-Harris spent an inspiring evening celebrating Project Renewal’s incredible work.
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.

Nous sommes tous égaux dans les yeux du fourneau.
