Meet the woman behind the top cooking classes in Paris

Description:

Meet Jane Bertch, a Chicagoan who has called Paris home since 2005. She started her life here as a banker, but made the unusual pivot to running a cooking class (which is now the hugely popular La Cuisine Paris). And now, she has written a memoir about it all: The French Ingredient. 

She joined me in the studio to talk about the book, how to make a croissant, and even how to make a croissant class (plus a whole lot more). 

The music in this episode is from Pres Maxson, his take on the classic Sous le ciel de Paris.
