CHEF DEBORAH JEAN
Born and raised in a Haitian household, Chef Deborah Jean learned the basics of Haitian-French cuisine from her mother at a young age, so it’s no surprise that she is an expert in both cuisines. She’s been cooking ever since, and eventually landed in New York, where she helped open esteemed French eateries that include: Dominque Ansel’s Bakery, Le Coucou (1 Michelin Star), and Le Mercerie. She currently works as a freelance private chef, and seeks to redefine her heritage cuisine by combining the intricacies of technical French culinary arts with Haitian ingredients.
