Nicolette Francey – Nicolette F. Asselin, M.D.

In this book, Nicolette Asselin explores the challenges of passing on a sound education in savory cooking early on.

The author curtails objections faced by parents and offers a new bare answer, by describing her own experience, growing up in Switzerland, where she had developed sensible, sound and uncomplicated eating habits. In this narrative, the author offers simple but effective approaches and tactics to create healthy “Taste Buds,” for families and the medical profession.

“There was no foreseeing the future when my sister Anne’s daughter, 22-year-old Suleika Jaouad, left her parents at the airport on the way to her first job in Paris. She had just graduated from Princeton University. She later wrote:
“I was so excited for what lay ahead, I nearly forgot to wave goodbye to my parents. Armed with a college diploma, my first job offer, a one-way ticket to Paris, and a new pair of heels, I was ready to take on anything.”

A month later, on our way to Portugal, my husband Moe and I stopped in the French capital and shared a meal with a cheerful young Suleika, whose social agenda was as busy as her position as paralegal at an international mediation law firm. She seemed ready to conquer whatever challenge life placed in front of her. She was eying a position for the Herald Tribune to report on the Arab Spring in North Africa, and she had met a handsome young Harvard graduate, who was on his way to join her in Paris.”
