A culinary legend tells his story, from boyhood in wartime France to stardom in America, and shares favorite recipes: “A delicious book…a joy.”—The New York Times Book Review   In this memoir, the man Julia Child called “the best chef in America” tells of his rise from a frightened apprentice in an exacting Old World kitchen to an Emmy Award-winning superstar who taught millions of Americans how to cook and shaped the nation’s tastes in the bargain.   We see Jacques as a homesick six-year-old in war-ravaged France, working on a farm in exchange for food, dodging bombs, and bearing witness as German soldiers capture his father, a fighter in the Resistance. Soon Jacques is caught up in the hurly-burly action of his mother's café, where he proves a natural. He endures a literal trial by fire and works his way up the ladder in the feudal system of France’s most famous restaurant, finally becoming Charles de Gaulle's personal chef, watching the world being refashioned from the other side of the kitchen door.   When he comes to America, Jacques falls in with a small group of as-yet-unknown food lovers, including Craig Claiborne, James Beard, and Julia Child, whose adventures redefine American food. Through it all, he proves to be a master of the American art of reinvention: earning a graduate degree from Columbia, turning down a job as John F. Kennedy's chef to work at Howard Johnson’s, and, after a near-fatal car accident, switching careers once again to become a charismatic leader in the revolution that changed the way Americans approached food. Also included are approximately forty favorite recipes created in the course of his career, from his mother's utterly simple cheese soufflé to his wife's pork ribs and red beans.   “Fascinating.”—The Washington Post   “Beguiling.”—The New Yorker   “As lively and personable as Pepin himself.”—The Boston Globe

I grew up watching Chef Pepin on PBS and I loved it when he and Julia Child would team up and do shows together. In fact, Jacque Pepin influenced many in my immediate and extended family. When we'd cook as kids, we'd try to affect our best Jacques Pepin accents because at least for us, he epitomized the classic French chef. Later on, I learned about Bocuse and Robuchon and other French chefs, and while they were incredible, Jacques Pepin would always represent what I felt was the archetype of a great chef, French or not."The Apprentice" is an absolutely fantastic book, taking the reader back to the chef's early childhood in war-torn France and his progression from a stable hand to his apprenticeship and on to his illustrious career with Howard Johnson's. And while he implies that he along the way that he experienced much hardship, instead of sinking into bitterness, he tells his tale with affection and with a sentimentality that endears rather than makes one sympathize. Even when he speaks negatively about situations or people he encountered, he communicates what he learned as opposed to complaining.As for me personally, I didn't want to the book to end. Chef Pepin is a wonderful and engaging storyteller. I felt like the kid in the Princess Bride while reading the book: What happens next?! What happens next?! But in addition, he is a great teacher and this book is full of life lessons. His is an inspiring story of never quitting; of doing what needs to be done to achieve your goals; that establishing and maintaining friendships does more to "get ahead" than playing petty politics. And finally, this book is a testament that excellence trumps all.
