152: Paris Dining today with Carina Soto Velasquez and Nora Bouazzouni

In continuing the conversation around the city’s culinary scene, the episode you’ll hear today comes directly from a panel discussion I was part of at The American Library in Paris with two very powerful voices in food that I’m proud to know. I was joined by Carina Soto Velasquez, the co-founder and owner of Quixotic Projects (Candelaria, Le Mary Celeste, and A La Renaissance), and Nora Bouazzouni, a French journalist and author who reports on ethical issues in the industry. We go through the changes in the food scene, some of the ongoing challenges for women, and how violence endures in the kitchen across the country. Thank you to the American Library for allowing me to use the audio and to Rachel Donadio for her thoughtful moderation. Mentioned in this episode: The American Library in Paris talk Want to watch the conversation?
