Chicken may not be an extravagant ingredient, but for master chef Jacques Pépin, it is the one he turns to most frequently—to cook and to paint. In this beautifully illustrated book, Jacques reminisces on his life through the lens of the humble bird, from his childhood in rural France, where he chased chickens and watched as his maman turned them into her poulet à la crème, to his demanding apprenticeship and long, illustrious career—cooking Chicken Chasseur for Charles de Gaulle and his family, turning down a chance to work as JFK’s White House Chef for a job at Howard Johnson’s, and appearing on television alongside food-world luminaries like Julia Child. Throughout are Jacques’ favorite chicken and egg recipes, conveyed as if he were sharing them over a dinner table. Most significantly, the book displays dozens of Jacques’ stunning paintings of chickens. “If it clucks or scratches, it’s likely that Jacques has painted it.” This unique book is the next best thing to a visit to Jacques’ home, which would include a tour of his art studio, captivating conversation as he cooks, and a toast with a glass of wine over a simple meal of perfect roast chicken.

I greatly enjoyed the writing, but not so much the recipes. NO measurements, just general directions. Fine for an experienced cook, but not so much for one that doesn't cook very often. If this was marketed to the run of the mill cook, they could NOT cook from it. Obscure ingredients, no measurements, no explanations on what some terms mean. I love the stories in it, and the artwork. The recipes? NOT so much.

This is a beautiful book, not just a book of recipes but beautiful art and stories. I am proud to own this.
My wife's favorite chef, so I ordered it for Christmas. Although a small mixup, the customer service did a fantastic job and received the book for Christmas. She was thrilled about the book. The stories, art, and recipes are outstanding. Would recommend the book and publisher to anyone.
