How did people at Le Cordon Bleu react to the book?
A. Everyone has been remarkably gracious. No one ever tried to influence the book, and in fact, lent me significant help in portraying the history of the school accurately. Even Andre Cointreau, the school’s owner, has been amazingly accommodating. The notable thing was that they were helpful and giving of their time before any of them read it. I think it showed a lot of faith in their institution.
