Here I am, Marie. I grew up in Provence, in the Alpilles, where the cicadas sing late into the night.

I’m the youngest in a long line of farmers, and my childhood was spent surrounded by the vegetables we grew and the steaming pots of my grandmothers, my mother, and my aunt. They taught me their kitchen secrets – sometimes by showing me, sometimes by simply letting me watch – and passed on to me their love for good produce and the beauty of sharing.

Life – and especially Love – eventually carried me away from the thyme-covered hills and the little snails on the wild fennel. Today, I live part of the year in London with my family. From my life across the Channel, I’ve discovered many other cuisines from around the world. And because I believe that cooking and the pleasures of the table bring people together, I mix these influences in my own way – filling my food with memories and a promise of travel.

I now work as a “Nomadic Chef” all year round between London and Provence. I travel for your professional or private events, wherever you are! Although I live in England, my heart remains in Provence, where I often return to see my family and reconnect with my roots.

My cooking is inspired by all these experiences. From the notebooks of my grandmothers to my training at Ferrandi in Paris, butchery in England, baking with Bread Ahead and Sourdough Sophia, Italian cooking with Lena, Thai cuisine with Somsaa, and even asado – the South American art of slow-cooking over a wood fire – I have gathered skills, flavours, and ideas that shape every dish I create.

And when the good weather arrives, I invite you to join me in “my Provence,” in the heart of the Alpilles. Come and spend a timeless moment at the family farmhouse, among the olive trees and the fruits and vegetables grown by my brother, where I set up my pop-up kitchen and share with you a taste of my childhood.

Here or there, see you very soon!
