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).

• Follow La Cuisine on Instagram and follow Jane herself here.

• Book a cooking class at La Cuisine in Paris

• And follow the La Cuisine newsletter

• And of course, find the book: The French Ingredient

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