Hello Friends!
Over on Tik Tok I’ve begun a series that showcases my love of cookbooks. Sometimes books on food and food culture as well. Over the years beginning with a fateful single purchase I’ve assembled a library that has enriched my life and made me, in part, the chef I’ve become. That book was, “James Beard’s Theory and Practice of Good Cooking”. It sits directly over my desk so I can always know of the genesis of the library. I want to share my adoration of some of my collection and do so here beginning with a true Treasure! As you will see Chef Jacques became a mentor to me. And in time we even became friends. I am very happy to be part of the Jacques Pepín Foundation. You can join too! Just go to their website. It is filled with education, fun, and Chef Jacque’s spirit!
