Improving Lives and Strengthening Communities Through Culinary Education and Training
The Jacques Pépin Foundation was created in 2016 by Jacques Pépin, Claudine Pépin and Claudine’s husband, Rollie Wesen.
For decades, Jacques has brought recipes and culinary techniques to home cooks, while teaching essential skills to aspiring professionals at the International Culinary Center and Boston University. Skill in the kitchen, and the associated teaching from Jacques and others, can bring entertainment and pleasure, as well as purpose, self-confidence, and pathways to better health and employment opportunities.
Your annual membership to the JPF funds our support for community-based culinary training that provides essential culinary and life skills for individuals with barriers to employment such as previous incarceration, homelessness and substance abuse.
