Ep. 70 - Jane Bertch, “The French Ingredient‪”‬ Storytime in Paris

    • Books

Who on earth would be brave/crazy enough to move to Paris, quit their secure job in finance, and open a cooking school? The answer, of course, is Jane Bertch, founder of the iconic La Cuisine Paris, and author of “The French Ingredient.” In her beautifully-written memoir, Jane details how she transformed from banker to business-owner, all while navigating the inevitable cultural differences she faced as an American expat, and the countless curveballs life threw her way.

In our conversation, Jane shares whether her vision of moody café-writing matched her reality, how owning a cooking school changed her relationship to food, what it was like to relive her past on the page, and so much more. What did she want to be when she grows up? Drinks on me if you guess correctly!
