collection of dialogues with award-winning chefs from various
backgrounds and cultures, sharing their personal experiences of where
and why food culture is where it is today.
Revisiting his childhood and life as a young adult in France, traveling

States, Emmanuel Laroche infuses his knowledge and curiosity of
everything food-related within each page of Conversations Behind the
Kitchen Door. His decades-long connection with StarChefs--a platform
