Cattle Call

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!"

Cattle Call

Season 1 Episode 11 | 25m 3s | CC

There are times when Jacques craves a good steak, so he cooks a perfect Grilled Steak with Lemon-Thyme Butter. For large get-togethers or celebrations, Jacques’ Spicy Rib Roast packs a tangy rub and makes an impressive centerpiece. Veal Chops with Caper Sauce uses the under-utilized fresh sage for an herbal note, while Braised Beef in Red Wine becomes a delicious meal from an often-overlooked cut.
