Curious by nature, she developed an early passion for gastronomy and travel. She moved to the United States and Canada for her university studies and discovered the world of fine dining while working with Michel Bras, Alain Ducasse, and Alain Passard. These experiences forged her palate and led her to life-changing encounters with many other greats of French cuisine. Her dream of touching the fabled Michelin stars was realized when she became an inspector for \u003ci\u003eThe Michelin Guide\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Pavlowitch\u003c\/b\u003e is fascinated by lives that don't stick to the script and she has co-written several portraits of women. \u003ci\u003eEmma Dreams of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e combines her two passions--unusual life trajectories and cooking. Time spent working as a food journalist, during which she crafted several profiles of chefs and rubbed shoulders with cooks at well-known restaurants in France and abroad, was deeply informative to the writing of this book, as was her deep connection to flavor and the joys of good eating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKan Takahama\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Kumamoto, Japan in 1977.
