www.janson.com Jacques Pépin returns to public television with 26 brand new programs. Each show begins with a 30-second recipe which even novices can prepare in just minutes. Four dishes follow, complemented by Jacques’ sharing of valuable quick tips, techniques, stories from his life and the inspirations behind his creations.
If left on a desert island, Jacques thinks he’d be quite happy as long as he had some chickens! For Jacques, the prize part of the chicken is the thigh, and he thinks you’ll agree when you try Crusty Chicken Thighs with Mushroom Sauce, served with a tasty Fricasse of Brussels Sprouts and Bacon. An inspired use of instant potato flakes to thicken a soup shows up in the fast-cooking Seafood Chowder topped with fresh crabmeat. To end on a relaxing note, Jacques arranges a presentation of Stilton with Apple and Nuts to accompany a delicious glass of vintage or aged Tawny Port.
