Early Life And Education.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jacques P\u00e9pin is the second of three sons, birthed to Jeanne and Jean-Victor P\u00e9pin. Now, cooking has been second nature to him from his early childhood, as his parents owned a restaurant, his mother being the chef. The restaurant his parent-owned, Le Pelican, was where P\u00e9pin worked after school, often in the kitchen. Then, at the age of 13, he quit school to learn further and improve his culinary\/cooking skills. He didn’t intend to work at his parents’ restaurant. He instead decided to work at the distinguished Grand Hotel de L’Europe in his home town, where he learned to cook, merely by watching and imitating the chef.<\/p>\n

Claudine made her first cooking debut show, \u201cCooking with Claudine,” in 1995. Although she had not learned how to cook, she had worked on culinary jobs several times with her father.<\/p>\n

Did Claudine go to school? Sure, she did. After all, her father is a graduate as well. She has a first degree in Political Science and Philosophy. And she also notably graduated from Boston University with a Master’s degree in International Relations.<\/p>\n

He has a granddaughter Shorney Wesen.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the age of 5, Shorey frequently visited her grandparents, primarily because of her interest in helping her old man cook. She practically grew enthusiastic and comfortable in the kitchen early on.<\/p>\n

Both Shorey and her mum loved to eat what grown-ups eat, and this developed a gourmand\u2019s palate for them. In the long run, it birthed Jacques’s longstanding philosophy that “great meals are always the ones that are shared with family and friends.” It formed the basis for\u00a0A<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Grandfather\u2019s Lessons: In the Kitchen with Shorey (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
