Reviews
“There’s something to be said for watching a cooking demonstration versus reading a recipe in a book. For one thing, we live in the television/computer world and most of us are used to learning from watching, not from reading. Plus, when demonstrating a dish, a chef will often share tips that would probably never make it into a cookbook…Three volumes of Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way demonstrates how to create deliciously elegant meals in minutes. “- American Fitness Magazine“Pepin, a contemporary of the late Julia Child (as well as the former personal chef for French statesman Charles de Gaulle), is an amiable instructor for these eight 25-minute lessons. …Pepin’s relaxed approach and knack for making things look simple will have viewers believing they can do this at home.” Recommended. -Video Librarian
