In Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way, the man who taught millions of Americans how to cook shares the techniques he honed in the most famous kitchens of the world to show you how to create simple, special meals in minutes.
In this companion volume to his new series on public television, Jacques shows you how to create great-tasting dishes ranging from stunning salads such as Tomato and Mozzarella Fans to Suprême of Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar and Shallot Sauce to his breathtaking Almond Cake with Berries, all special enough for company, yet easy enough for those weekday evenings when you have no time.
Fast food Jacques's way involves no compromises in taste but saves you hours in the kitchen. His Instant Beef Tenderloin Stew, for instance, not only is far faster to make than traditional versions, but tastes brighter and fresher. With concise, clear directions, Jacques shares the secrets of his kitchen. He teaches you how to season a salmon fillet perfectly and cook it in a low oven, right on the serving platter. You'll learn how to make a satisfying homemade vegetable soup in seconds, a baked potato in half the usual time, and a succulent roast that takes minutes, not hours, to prepare. He also shows you how to create elegant meals from convenience foods: a bean dip that will keep guests coming back for more, silky soups, and caramelized peaches made from canned peaches.
With Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way at your side, the best food is always the simplest.

Merci Jacques! WOW!
Last night had friends for dinner and cooked the cod with walnut and cilantro sauce. Dinner for 6 took about 40 minutes to make, looked incredible but the best is that the taste was simply outstanding! We entertain often, so cooking quickly is important but so is high quality and taste. I cannot recommend this enough... and check out his other books too. they are outstanding.

the best yet
this is the best recipe book I have used so far.I have loved everything I have made from this book Jacques Pepin truly has made cooking fun and enjoyable. And the best part is that he included all the recipes I have watched him do on the PBS channel. Worth every penny spent.

Pepin is the best....
Julia is not with us any more, Pepin does a great job of making 'gourmet' cooking approachable. His passion for cooking and good food is clear, without the gimmicks celebrity chefs use.

Cooking
I purchased this book at after a friend suggested it. I found it, except for a couple of recipes to be very elementary and not worth the purchase.... will most likely end up in a 'give away pile'. There are many better books available.

Another Great Cookbook From "America's" Beloved French Chef
Each recipe in this book is easy, delicious and fast; exactly as it is advertised.

Two of the recipes have already become family favorites, and I've gifted a copy to a dear friend who admired the dessert gratin I made for a party at her home using Pepin's recipe which I've memorized.

Happy Cooking!
