Just When We Couldn't Love Jacques Pepin More

He's gained a following for his social media videos

Jacques Pepin is one of the most beloved figures in the food world. Lots of us grew up reading his cookbooks and seeing his television programs with Julia Child. In recent years, Jacques has branched out into commerce and different ways of communicating..

He has a popular line of tableware and decorative items on Sur La Table, many featuring his signature French chickens. I own a chicken pitcher and stacks of his table mats.

At age 88, you could easily understand if Jacques wanted to take it easy. But he’s become a popular figure on social media.
