After an illustrious career (he was personal chef to French war hero and president Charles de Gaulle), Pépin moved to the U.S., where he achieved renown as a chef, consultant, columnist, cookbook author, memoir writer, teacher, and television host (including nine series on public television). He and his wife, Gloria, live in Madison, Connecticut.
