Bonjour, les enfants de club! This week we debone, season, and roast iconic French chef Jacques Pépin’s buttery memoir “The Apprentice.” From giving Charles de Gaulle gout to inventing the midtown souperie, Craig Claiborne’s sassy homosexuality, befriending la (trés) grande dame Julia Child, the shame of the American supermarket, communal bread ovens and the proper way to kill a canard— ça c’ést une journée délicieuse! Bon appétit, bitch.
