[In Conversation With](https://lnkd.in/edigjHx) is by 12-year-old Alfred Moisan.
During lockdown he decided to combine his passion for cooking with raising money
for charity by writing a book of interviews with some of the world’s best chefs 
and experts in food and drink. He asked, and many answered with participants ranging
from Ferran Adria of elBulli to Sandrine Garbay of Chateau d’Yquem and many Michelin
stars chefs, food & drinks experts and authors. In 70 interviews, they share wisdom
from their years of experience and funny anecdotes along the way. All profits go
to FareShare.
