Chef Jean-Rony Leriche is Guadeloupean of Haitian parents and has made it his mission to promote Caribbean culture, a culture of which he is very proud.

He began his career as a chef in Toulouse, where he trained under Michelin-starred chef Franck Rénimel. His cuisine is both pleasing and surprising, which has distinguished him and earned him the Gault et Millau award. He now runs his own Caribbean gourmet restaurant in Paris, "Leriche Restaurant," in the 1st arrondissement.
