I grew up in the town next to Jacques and asked if he would take part in a project for French class.

He invited me and my project partners to his house, gave us a tour of his TV production kitchen, let us film a segment for our video, and signed a copy of his book for or teacher.

Needless to say we got an A+ but more importantly we got to spend time with an incredibly intelligent and empathetic master. Forever grateful that he took the time to meet with us silly but curious kids.
