    EP 326: Jill Colonna: Author and Chef Mad About Macarons

    Over 30 years ago, Jill was totally immersed into the real-deal French life and culture by following her heart to Paris from Scotland. Marrying a Frenchman, working for 10 years in Paris, then raising their 2 French/ girls just outside Paris, food has gradually become a central part of her family’s healthy French lifestyle. 
    During this time, she perfected the art of making macarons and wrote 2 patisserie recipe books that were published in 2012 and 2015, 'Teatime in Paris’ and the bestselling ‘Mad About Macarons’, the name of the eponymous website.
    The website is where she shares the recipes she has learned from the French over the many deliciously fun years. Not just recipes but also French food guides, following her time as pastry tour guide in Paris, via many travels within France with and visiting family, plus passionate about eating well with seasonal fresh fruit and veg from the market.

    EP 322: Founder of Women of Paris: Heidi Evans

    Heidi is the founder of Women of Paris; the first Paris walking tour devoted entirely to women's history and influence. She is also a Londoner who loves the adventure of living in Paris. She is passionate about history, the arts, and women's empowerment and is inspired everyday living in such a culturally rich city. She has travelled to 6 different continents and lived in West Africa (where she says, the cheese is not as good as in Paris!) and taught English to some of the poorest children in the world, but now she is happy to call Paris her home. She has been a professional guide in Paris for nearly years and loves to meet people from all over the world and show them the best the city has to offer. In her spare time she likes to cycle, do yoga and hunt for the perfect tarte au citron.

Inspiring and Educational

Krystal is a fantastic and engaging host! She always brings on wonderful guests with inspiring stories and you can tell just how much the pair are enjoying themselves throughout. It also inspires me in my own creative endeavors.

Being a history nerd, History Avec a Hemingway always brings me so much joy! Claudine is a wonderful educator and full of such incredible knowledge. As well as covering well-known historical figures, she shines a light on people throughout history that are some of the most amazing stories I’ve heard and should’ve gotten much more recognition for their work.

I could not recommend this podcast enough, it always brings light to my day!
