I hope what you saw was just a mis-step. It's surprising that his
forgetting something shows on the tape....I thought all the cooking
shows had a prompter who watched what was happening very closely and
alerted the cook to oversights and omissions.

I read an article recently that reported on Pepin's self-designed,
state-of-the-art kitchen built on his Conn. property. The kitchen is
for filming his TV shows, as his wife, herself an accomplished cook,
finally put her foot down about the endless streams of TV crews passing
thru and disrupting -her- kitchen.

Let's hope that the new kitchen sees a lot of use.
