Shelfari edited the description of Jacques Pépin's Table: The Complete "Today's Gourmet" Wednesday, August 5 2009.

• Jacques Pepin's Table is a comprehensive compendium of dishes presented on the author's many public television shows. This encyclopedic volume of more than 300 recipes by the master chef and PBS superstar covers not only first courses, main courses, side dishes, desserts, and breads but also provides detailed instructions on how to bone a chicken, flute a mushroom, and keep a souffle from falling. There are menu suggestions on combining dishes into taste-tempting meals, with appropriate wine pairings. Dozens of stunning food photographs, as well as Pepin's own charming line drawings, bring these dishes to life. As always, the recipes emphasize lower-calorie, health-conscious, easy-prep cooking that includes more fiber, less saturated fat, more fish, less meat, and vegetables cooked to preserve their nutrients.
