Please note that this event has been canceled by the event organizers.

Stop by the CUESA Classroom for a special cooking demo with Jacques Pépin featuring the seasonal bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.

The grand master of cooking has a new apprentice in the kitchen: his granddaughter. Jacques Pépin is the most famous cooking teacher in the world, renowned for his knife skills. Ever since she was very young, his granddaughter, Shorey, has loved helping him in the kitchen. Now that she is thirteen, Jacques gives his charismatic pupil a short course on preparing “food that is plain, but elegant, and more than anything, fun.” In the process, he proves himself as inspiring to her as he is to the country’s greatest chefs.

This special demo will take place in the CUESA Classroom in front of the Ferry Building. Seating will be first come, first served, and there will be limited standing room. The demo will be followed by a book signing of A Grandfather’s Lessons: In the Kitchen with Shorey in the Sur La Table store inside the Ferry Building Marketplace.
