  Jacques Pepin Art of the Chicken...

  From legendary chef Jacques Pepin, a book celebrating his lifelong love of chickens, featuring dozens of his celebrated paintings and more than 50 recipes, along with a treasure trove of poignant and often humorous stories. 
  Chicken may not be an extravagant ingredient, but for master chef Jacques Pépin, it is the one he turns to most frequently—to cook and to paint. In this beautifully illustrated book, Jacques reminisces on his life through the lens of the humble bird, from his childhood in rural France, where he chased chickens and watched as his maman turned them into her poulet à la crème, to his demanding apprenticeship and long, illustrious career—cooking Chicken Chasseur for Charles de Gaulle and his family, turning down a chance to work as JFK’s White House Chef for a job at Howard Johnson’s, and appearing on television alongside food-world luminaries like Julia Child. Throughout are Jacques’ favorite chicken and egg recipes, conveyed as if he were sharing them over a dinner table. Most significantly, the book displays dozens of Jacques’ stunning paintings of chickens. “If it clucks or scratches, it’s likely that Jacques has painted it.” This unique book is the next best thing to a visit to Jacques’ home, which would include a tour of his art studio, captivating conversation as he cooks, and a toast with a glass of wine over a simple meal of perfect roast chicken.   
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Japan Discovered - A Guide to...

  Most books about Japan will tell you what to see. This one tells you what you're actually looking at.
   
  
   
  Japan runs on a set of invisible rules — social, philosophical, historical — that most visitors never learn exist. The silence in a boardroom means something has gone wrong. The vending machine on a mountain trail makes perfect sense once you understand the culture. The word for a feeling you've had your whole life but never had a name for. Japan Discovered is the guide that explains it all.
   
  
   
  The ancient belief that household tools develop a soul after a hundred years of use still quietly shapes how objects are treated in modern Japanese homes. Millions of Japanese families eat fried chicken every Christmas Eve — a tradition that says more about how Japan absorbs outside influences and makes them entirely its own than any guidebook chapter on "Japanese culture" ever could.
   
  
   
  The book covers the philosophy of wabi-sabi and what it reveals about the Japanese relationship with imperfection and time. It covers tatemae and honne — the gap between public face and private truth that shapes every professional and personal interaction in the country. It covers the shokunin tradition of craft mastery and what it genuinely feels like to navigate a society never designed with outsiders in mind.
   
  
   
  Inside, you will also find:
  
  Essential Japanese phrases with full pronunciation guides
  Cultural concepts — wabi-sabi, amae, gaman, omotenashi — explained in plain English
  A curated reading, film, and music list for going deeper
  A practical packing and etiquette guide for first-time visitors
  
   
  
   
  For the reader who wants to understand a place, not just pass through it.
