We already knew that Jacques Pépin loves KQED. And in case you missed it, he was on KQED’s ‘Forum’ yesterday with Michael Krasny (who insists on pronouncing his name ‘Pep-pon’) talking about his days working as a cook for Charles de Gaulle (Mrs. de Gaulle believed rare meat was bad for the blood), and how he was “blown out” by Meryl Streep’s portrayal of Julia Child in Julie & Julia. “I said ‘You cannot do Julia Child without doing her voice, and if you do her voice it’s going to be a cliché.’ But five minutes into the movie I totally forgot about it.” [KQED]
