The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen, with Jacques Pépin

Legendary master chef and world-renowned media personality Jacques Pépin (Hon.’11) returns to Boston University to commemorate the republishing of his 2003 memoir, The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen. Those familiar with the book will relish reliving Jacques’ foray into chefdom first in his mother’s café, then at the famous Le Grande Hotel de l’Europe.

Those new to his story will thrill to learn how he came to America, fresh from a career cooking for Charles de Gaulle, to enter into the fold of the country’s nascent culinary masterminds: James Beard, Craig Claiborne, and Julia Child. Jacques will recount these stories and more, while demonstrating some of the cherished recipes that appear in his memoir. This promises to be an unforgettable evening, and a rare opportunity to relive this unparalleled culinary journey with the master himself. Includes demonstration, tastings of recipes from the book paired with wine, and book.

Note; $50 of each registration fee is a tax-deductible contribution to the Jacques Pépin Fund, which supports scholarship in gastronomy and the culinary arts at Boston University.
