Jacques Pépin: A Legacy of Heart and Soul
Celebrate the 90th birthday and the enduring influence of one of the world’s most beloved culinary icons, Jacques Pépin.
KQED Live and the Jacques Pépin Foundation bring some of his closest contemporaries – including cookbook author and TV personality Sara Moulton, celebrity chef Chris Costentino, and his daughter and onscreen counterpart Claudine Pépin – together with KQED’s Cecilia Phillips, for a lively conversation inspired by iconic moments from his groundbreaking television career.
Through stories, shared memories, and archival footage, these culinary voices will reflect on Pépin’s extraordinary contributions as a mentor, innovator, and cultural figure who brought classical French technique to American kitchens with clarity and warmth.
The afternoon culminates in an intimate, heartfelt interview with Jacques himself.
