For me, cooking is more than just a skill, it’s a lifelong passion ignited in my childhood.
Though I was born on the sun-kissed island of Réunion, it was growing up in the heart of Provence that truly shaped my culinary foundation. The vibrant energy of my Réunionnais roots, combined with the refined techniques of French cuisine, creates a unique blend that you’ll experience in every class at Gourmandises Académie.
I believe in adding a touch of sunshine to every meal, and you’ll find that reflected in my signature dishes, where I playfully incorporate tropical Réunionnais flavours into sophisticated French classics.
All the recipes we explore at Gourmandises Académie are my own original creations, born from countless hours of experimentation and a deep love for sharing delicious food.
It was an honour to have received three stars in the Great Taste Awards, a testament to the dedication poured into each dish. I’m thrilled to open my home and share these “gourmandises” with you, inviting you to discover new flavours and techniques in a warm and inspiring environment.
