Born in North Africa and raised in France, Chef Jacques Fox, a Chaîne Professional Member since 1993 and currently Conseiller Culinaire des États-Unis Honoraire, first learned the art and science of cooking from his grandmother and gardening from his grandfather so the family had fresh fruits and vegetables year-round.
