easy to prepare, tasty food, easy to understand
I can highly recommend Fast Food My Way. If you're a beginner at cooking but you want to impress people then Fast Food My Way is really for you! I'm really a novice when it comes to cooking. Whenever I announced that I wanted to cook at home then suddenly everybody said they would be busy and couldn't come home to eat...Even worse, I'm in love with a boy who is really picky at eating because his mum is really an excellent cook.

Somewhat dissapointing
I'm a huge fan of Jacques Pepin but can't help but feel that Fast Food My Way and corresponding PBS show were hastily thrown together to try to capitalize on the success that the hyper-kinetic chipmunk better known as Rachael Ray was having over on the food network.
Merci Jacques! WOW!
Last night had friends for dinner and cooked the cod with walnut and cilantro sauce.

We entertain often, so cooking quickly is important but so is high quality and taste. I cannot recommend this enough... and check out his other books too. they are outstanding.
the best yet
this is the best recipe book I have used so far.I have loved everything I have made from Fast Food My Way Jacques Pepin truly has made cooking fun and enjoyable. And the best part is that he included all the recipes I have watched him do on the PBS channel. Worth every penny spent.
Pepin is the best....
Julia is not with us any more, Pepin does a great job of making 'gourmet' cooking approachable. His passion for cooking and good food is clear, without the gimmicks celebrity chefs use.
