The 2025 celebration of Jacques’ 90th birthday is off to a smashing start, with several fantastic events in January. And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t also tell you about one of our favorite moments from the end of 2024: Jacques’ 89th birthday dinner! Here’s what’s been going on since Jacques turned 89:
The Jacques Pépin Foundation family spent a busy week in Boston. Jacques, Claudine, and Rollie attended impactful events, inspiring people to cook. Jacques joined Jody Adams at WGBH for a fundraiser on culinary education. Meanwhile, Rollie taught “Introduction to French Cuisine” to BU MET students, nurturing culinary education at many levels.
Our dinner at Gramercy Tavern on Sunday, October 6, 2024 was absolutely magical, with Jacques himself in attendance, and friends of the Foundation and coming together to #celebratejacques in marvelous fashion.
Join the Jacques Pépin Foundation as we kick off the 90/90 Celebration Campaign in the city that never sleeps. There’s no better place to launch our nationwide campaign than the bustling and beautiful home of some of our country’s top chefs and restaurants.
Jacques will be dining at Marea in New York City on Thursday, June 6, 2024! To help us gear up for the 90/90 Dinner Series starting in the fall, Marea Restaurant has generously pledged 25% of their proceeds from that night to the Jacques Pépin Foundation.
Chill the Champagne and stock up on birthday candles, because Jacques Pépin is going to turn 90 next year! That’s something to commemorate in and of itself, but at the Jacques Pépin Foundation we’re planning to celebrate both the man and the mission of the JPF.
