Jacques’ “Art of the Chicken” Book: Chicken may not be an extravagant ingredient, but for master chef Jacques Pépin, it is the one he turns to most frequently—to cook and to paint. Jacques’ “Menus: A Book for Your Meals and Memories” Book: This book collects Pépin’s favorite paintings so you can commemorate your own dinners: the dishes you serve, the wines that accompany them, and even the music you play.
