Becoming a chef in France, what should I do?

Your father will eventually come round and, if you go to Paris, the ghost of Monsieur Gusteau will inspire you. His son, Linguini, will be very useful to you as you will be able to lead him, not by the nose but by pulling his hair, and the charming Colette will be a precious ally too. Your family can also ist you if only by sticking human obstacles into the freezer. We look forward to your outstanding ratatouille. Good luck!
