    This was quite good and very easy. I just used thighs, as I was just cooking for the two of us. I added a bit more mustard to the sauce to get it to cling better to the chicken.

      This was pretty good. The recipe has a couple of clever tricks to roast a chicken in 35 minutes or so, but the resulting sauce was what made it above average. I served with mashed potatoes and drizzled the sauce over both the chicken and mashed potatoes as suggested.

    Consider me always smitten as a Jacques Pepin cookbook was my very first cookbook gifted to me from my little sister with her allowance money. She’s an angel and so is Jacques.

Publishers Text

From the world-renowned chef and celebrated artist, a must-have collection of everyday and elegant chicken and vegetable recipes

The legendary cooking teacher whom GQ calls “the most impactful living chef in America” shares his favorite chicken and vegetable recipes from a half-century career spanning two continents. Some, like Poulet à la Crème and Baker’s Wife Potatoes, recall the country French dishes of his childhood, while Chicken with Cognac Sauce and Velvet Spinach come from his days in fine French restaurants. Most, though, are born in his contemporary Connecticut kitchen. All have that trademark Pépin touch: made with just a few steps but sublime enough for company, from Roast Split Chicken with Mustard Crust to Caramelized Tomatoes Provençal. Charmingly illustrated with Pépin’s paintings, this little compendium is perfect for revitalizing every cook’s repertoire.
