Allison brings French food and culture to life

I worked with Allison Zinder on creating a three-week study abroad for Americans called Food and Culture of France. Mademoiselle Zinder was an absolute wealth of knowledge about French food and wine, of French culture, and of French history. She was a joy to work with and her extraordinary connections in the food, wine, and Champagne industry were endless.

Allison brought French food and culture to life by taking students shopping in the market places and in the range of restaurants from bouillons to Michelin-starred restaurants, and from some of the finest boulangeries and patisseries to macaron tours. She even provided cooking classes that the students adored and led bicycle tours of the Burgundian countryside. She worked beautifully with students of all abilities and taught them all a love of France and everything French. I will work with Allison again as soon as the world allows it.
