Publisher: KQED Books & Tapes 

Author: Jacques Pepin (book is an official autographed copy but it is unclear if the signature is that of Chef Jacques Pepin or his daughter). He is the author of the book but we have had other books with his signature and this appears a bit different. It may say Claudine Pepin or it may say Chef Jacques Pepin. We've posted the signature as reference. Both Jacques and Claudine are celebrity status chefs.

Description: Can a master chef's knowledge and techniques really work in the busy schedules of today's families? Jacques Pepin shows his millions of fans and fellow food fanciers how in Jacques Pepin's Kitchen: Cooking with Claudine. Now home cooks everywhere can enjoy the chemistry and share the culinary magic. 

Pepin teaches his twenty-something daughter Claudine to cook delicious, healthy meals within the confines of both her graduate student budget and her demanding schedule. The father-daughter team explore cooking techniques as well as his renowned culinary philosophy for everything from cooking-for-one to throwing a hospitable wedding shower for a friend. 

Claudine learns how to improvise with the leftovers in her refrigerator and how to plan a dinner menu to impress important guests. Whatever the occasion, the menus and recipes display Jacques's trademark attention to health, ease of preparation, and gustatory enjoyment. 

Comments from both Pepins, family and on-set photos, and the hand-drawn menus that are a feature of Pepin family entertaining make this the most personal of Jacques Pepin's many cookbooks.
