Who ever said “never meet your heroes” certainly was not talking about meeting Jacques Pépin at his home in Connecticut and having a casual conversation in his TV kitchen where he cooked with Julia Child, Martha Stewart and so many others. Jacques paved the way for so many greats and remains so humble and kind. He played boules with my kids and showed us his latest paintings. The way he has worked to make French cooking approachable and enjoyable inspires me daily in my work to make French home cooking easy and fun for busy people, like me!
