In France, it’s notoriously challenging to switch careers. After all, you’re supposed to know as an adolescent precisely what you want to do for the rest of your life. Makes sense, right? But there are exceptions and perhaps the best example is Clotilde Dusoulier who bucked the French penchant for pigeon-holing when she went from computer software engineer to published food author.
Her passion for food and cooking was borne not from her experiences growing up in France as one might assume but from her time in San Francisco, where she discovered the versatility and freshness of California produce. Fast forward ten years – after she created an award-winning blog, authored several books and had her first child – and Clotilde is embarking on an exciting new culinary adventure with her freshly-released recipe book The French Market Cookbook. It’s truly an honor for me to be able to welcome her into this series!
