ARC welcomes Makenna Held
We’re delighted to welcome Makenna Held to ARC Collective. A fearless entrepreneur, author, and host of La Pitchoune: Cooking in France on Magnolia Network and Max, Makenna is best known for buying Julia Child’s former summer home—sight unseen—and transforming it into the Courageous Cooking School. Her intuitive, recipe-optional approach to food has inspired thousands to find freedom and confidence in the kitchen. With her debut cookbook Mostly French and a growing platform rooted in creativity, self-trust, and reinvention, Makenna is redefining what it means to live—and cook—with courage.
