In one of our first interviews from 2005, we invited Jacques Pepin into our kitchen. Years previously, Stir the Pots co-founder Jeremy Shapiro had worked under Pepin’s mentorship. Here the master chef reflects on decades spent pursuing, enjoying and creating great meals. This includes sharing everything from growing up in his mother’s restaurant back in France to one of his first cooking jobs in America, working at Howard Johnson’s. Though our production capabilities were limited, it made for a terrific interview
