Teaching Kids

“My parents never gave me ‘kid’ food. Whatever they ate, I ate. My father always says that when you put a veal chop, fingerling potatoes and brussels sprouts in front of a child who’s only been given kid food, she’s going to go, ‘What the hell is this?’ It’s not about trying to give your child the most extraordinary palate. It’s about feeding your kids real food.”


Claudine Pépin, cookbook author and Jacques’s daughter
