I consider myself a self-made woman. It's strange, because my family has been in the culinary industry for four generations, so I can't claim to be completely independent. Although, when I was younger, I didn't want to do the job at all. I had an older brother who was supposed to take the reins and as his little sister I was quite free. I went off to do business studies and it was only afterwards that I decided to come back home and learn cuisine from my father [Jacques Pic, at family restaurant Maison Pic in Valence, France].
