In this episode, legendary chef, TV cooking show host, and author Jacques Pepin relates stories of his childhood meals and adventures in wartime France, his mother's post-war opening of multiple restaurants, and his father's winemaking. He also tells of his apprenticeship at 13 years old, his ultimate work in famous Paris kitchens, and as a chef to President Charles de Gaulle, after which he embarks on a 60year relationship with America, working at fabled French restaurants and for the Howard Johnson's Restaurant chain. Life changes, as he then turns to teaching, cookbook authorship, and TV fame. A fascinating story, beautifully and humbly told by this master chef.
