Who
am I?

I studied philosophy because the questions I carried never found anyone to meet them. I became a teacher because I wanted to see what those questions do to people when they're given time.

What I learnt in the classroom is that philosophy does nothing for you as long as it stays mere knowledge, and changes everything once it becomes an interaction.

So far, I've always found what I was looking for, intellectually, in what had already been written. And since research, by definition, begins where existing texts leave off, I've never had to take that road (not yet, anyway). I'm not in the research sauce. And that's exactly what I can offer those who are: a clear head from outside, and a helping hand from someone who knows your field and its methods. We speak the same language, just not the same tongue. So my explanations follow the way you think, and draw on the kinds of reasoning you already trust.

Frenchy Sauce grew out of that. English-speaking researchers who spend (some of) their time with French thinkers, often alone with a translation and a dictionary. French is my native language, philosophy is my trade, and twelve years in hospitality taught me that French lives around a dinner table as much as in a seminar room. So I offer the interlocutor I would have wanted to find: someone who reads the texts with you, pushes, insists, and is never in a hurry to move on.
