All Puffed Up

From easy to elegant, Jacques Pepin shares more than 125 recipes from his legendary career. With his usual ease and flair, Jacques cooks what he loves -- from classical Escoffier Quenelles to homey Braised Beef in Red Wine, and mouth-watering treats, including a Quick Almond Plum Cake and a perfect Chocolate Mousse. It's no wonder that Julia Child called Jacques "the best chef in America!"

All Puffed Up

Season 1 Episode 15 | 25m 4s | CC

Jacques doesn’t like to waste anything--not even the dough trimmings from his puff pastry. He makes cookies like Pigs Ears and Sugared Puff Paste Sticks once he’s used his Fast Puff Pastry for Crystallized Puff Paste of Orange, Choux a la Crème and a traditional Chocolate Paris-Brest Cake.
