Claudine Pépin has shared the screen with her father Jacques on his James Beard Award-winning TV shows, "Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Cooking With Claudine" and "Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Encore With Claudine," per his foundation's website.

Before she cooked on TV, Claudine graduated from Boston University with a political science and philosophy degree. She then went on to work as a brand ambassador for Moet & Chandon and Dom Perignon champagne, in addition to teaching food and wine pairings for the French Culinary Institute and the Sommelier Society in New York. Claudine also serves as president of the Jacques Pépin Foundation. Claudine learned a lot from her famous father, telling the South Florida Sun Sentinel in June 2003, "the involvement in food was ever present." "Frugality in the kitchen is a huge lesson I learned. We use everything. There is nothing wasted in our house. My father's adamant about that," she added. 

There's more to Claudine than cooking — she's a married woman! Claudine is married to Rollie Wessen and they share daughter Shorey. It seems Shorey inspired her mother's 2015 children's cookbook, "Kids Cook French," according to the Providence Journal. Shorey even contributed a few illustrations and it's safe to say cooking is a family affair.
