“In 2003, I produced and directed the audio CD version of “Best American Mystery Stories” for Houghton Mifflin publishers. One of the short stories - The Pickpocket - is told from the point of view of a Parisian pickpocket. When you need the quintessential French accent as well as an actor with Michel Chevalier's skill and professionalism, well, you cast Michel. And voilà! Perfection. An audio book producer/director since 1987, I have always believed that if a foreign accent is required it is better to cast a good American actor whose accent is adequate rather than a foreign voice talent whose performance level is adequate. With Michel Chevalier you get the perfect French accent and a performance that is second to none. Merci Michel!" - Paul Ruben* [*2003 Grammy Winner, producer/director for Best Spoken Word Album,"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them." Narrated by the author, Al Franken. And 2009 Grammy Winner for Best Spoken Word, "Always Looking up". Narrated by the author, Michael J. Fox.]
"THE APPRENTICE: My Life in the Kitchen” by Jacques Pépin; read by Michel Chevalier (Houghton Mifflin Audio)
 The audio version of Jacques Pépin’s book, “The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen”, is beautifully written by Pépin and read by actor Michel Chevalier (with an animated, French accent perfect for this writing). The unabridged audio (10 CDs) is a true pleasure, great fun, and an engaging listen (much like Pépin himself) for the car or while walking/hiking/commuting. It produced many “driveway moments” — and strange looks from other drivers -– as I burst out laughing while listening in the car.

A number of titles are food-related. Some of the titles that we enjoyed were Jacques Pepin’s autobiography, “The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen” (which was narrated by an equally charming Frenchman named Michel Chevalier) http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/products/ProductDetail.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0245141785.1262534922@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccfadejfhfghjmcefecekjdffidfim.0&productID=BK_HOUG_000004shapeimage_6_link_0
If you like to cook, love good food, or just a good story, The Apprentice – My Life in the Kitchen is a great read. I actually listened to the unabridged audio book version of this book, which is read by Michel Chevalier, who does an excellent job. - Twelve Black Code Monkeys (Posted by Levi on Dec 16th, 2003)http://livepage.apple.com/shapeimage_7_link_0

"From one of the greatest French chefs in the world comes this delightfully unfussy autobiography that is redolent with the celebration of foods from foie gras to cereal in little self-serve boxes. Marvelous! Utterly marvelous!"
