Summary: A delightful read- Quite a life!
Review: This book was really pleasant to read. I could almost hear Mr. Pepin's voice as I read it. It is a fascinating look into his life from young childhood to the present. Also a fascinating look at restaurants, training, apprenticeships, and cooking. If you have enjoyed Pepin's books, or TV shows (my favorite was the PBS series with Julia Child and Pepin) you will enjoy this book.

Summary: What more can you say...
Review: This is truly a wonderfully written book. So refreshing, the author is able to make you feel what is happpening all around him with such passion. The previous reviews speak so eloquently of his writing that we do not need to write more.

Summary: Charming, delightful, lovely writing
Review: What a marvelous read!! What's not to like about this memoir? Jacques is a life-loving man who has had a fabulous life cooking and living. The book reveals a man very much like the generous, creative, charming cooking teacher I've admired for so long. His book now demonstrates his skill as a writer and raconteur. Do yourself a favor and read this remarkable book. I was sorry when it ended.

Summary: Another culinary autobiography, but from the best
Review: Withy a great history of formal French training, Pepin has earned the right to toss out a cheesey 'my life in the kitchen'. His story though is much more exciting than that.All the while, Pepin has a pretty modest posture in his story. As a fan of his TV show, I'm glad I learned of his training and his contributions to cuisine.
