Whispers of the Americas

Raised in France, Belgium, and post-independence Congo during a time of political upheaval, the author's global perspective is shaped by his early exposure to political unrest, assassinations, and mercenary conflicts. His extensive travels, visiting over 26 countries across five continents in more than 75 visits, inform his writing, steeped in the visual, historical, and culinary diversity of cities like Hanoi, Cape Town, São Paulo, and Istanbul. Through his work, readers are transported to these far-flung destinations, where exotic flavors and cultural richness are integral to the storytelling. The recipes embedded in the narrative serve not just as culinary complements but as deeper connections to the places that inspire his tales.
