Is there any self-respecting food lover who would turn down an invitation to eat a meal prepared by Jacques Pépin? Pépin’s culinary career has taken him into the kitchens of four French presidents, to New York’s famed Le Pavillon restaurant, all over the United States by way of his television shows and books, and into our hearts. Pépin has won an unprecedented 17 James Beard Foundation awards, including nine for television shows and videos, six for books, and our Lifetime Achievement Award. And now, timed to coincide with the release of his latest, most personal cookbook, Chez Jacques, Pépin will be cooking an intimate dinner at the historic James Beard House as part of our Beard Presents: Masterpiece Dining series of exclusive dinners.
Pépin’s friends and colleagues Alain Sailhac and Marc Bauer from the French Culinary Institute (where Pépin is Master Chef and Dean of Special Programs) will assist with the menu, and students from the Institute will join these esteemed chefs in the Beard House kitchen to lend extra support. Such a spectacular meal deserves equally spectacular wines, and the pairings that will be served alongside Pépin’s dishes live up to the challenge. Vintages from the exceptional portfolio of Bordeaux native Bernard Magrez will complete this once-in-a-lifetime evening. |
