“You can’t escape the taste of the food you had as a child. In times of stress, what do you dream about? Your mother’s clam chowder. It’s security, comfort. It brings you home.

— Jacques Pepin, French-born celebrity chef and TV host. He lives in the charming town of Madison, Conn., on Long Island Sound.
