Create These Authentic Mediterranean Meals & How I Can Help

I share delicious French Mediterranean recipes that anyone can prepare in their own kitchen, flavorful, and perfect for everyday meals. If you’ve ever thought French food was too complicated, overly sauced, or reserved for fine dining, I’m excited to show you just how wrong that misconception is!

French Home Cooking


French home cooking is about simple, authentic meals made with local, seasonal ingredients—think cheeses, fresh fruits, vegetables, fish more often than meat, and of course, crusty bread. On a daily basis it’s not all about fancy pastries or elaborate dishes like Duck Foie Gras With Truffles. Instead, it’s about easy French recipes that bring people together around the table.

On lovefrenchfood.com, you’ll find traditional French dishes passed down from French homes, shared by friends, or created in my kitchen. Each recipe is well-seasoned, timeless, tested, and designed to be practical for home cooks. From rustic one-pot meals like Chicken FricassĂ©e, Beef Bourguignon, and Bouillabaisse to classics like CrĂšme BrulĂ©e and Ratatouille, my recipes are meant to be enjoyed, and home chef friendly.
And what would a French meal be without their famous French wines? I cover some of that too as wine is a favorite here in our house where I make our own!
Transform your everyday meals with French cooking techniques in my How to Cook category to guide you on your French cuisine journey.
I want to dispel the myth that French cuisine is intimidating or pretentious. Here, you’ll find quick and easy French recipes that fit into busy lifestyles, all while delivering that incredible French flavor.

My Team


I share my life with my partner, Paul, our two rescue Shih Tzus, Pebbles, and Scamp, who are the “bosses”, keep us on our toes, and brighten our days! They provide the official taste-testing tasks whenever needed!

My Culinary Journey: How a Childhood Kitchen Disaster Led to My Culinary Passion


My love for cooking started as a child, watching my talented mother create delicious meals every day. Her creativity and passion for providing her family with tasty nutritious meals were passed along to me. She taught me to experiment and make each dish my own. I still remember my first kitchen disaster—salty sugar cookies that brought a smile to my mom’s face and ended up in the trash, as she said I must have switched the flour and salt—but every mistake taught me something valuable. Cooking errors like this one are to be expected and laughed at. (later
 ) I can confidently say my cookies have improved since then, with favorites like French Butter Biscuits, Madeleines, and Palmiers.

The Journey And Therefore Story Continues


As an adult, I've faced my share of kitchen disasters, like birthday cakes splitting in half or the top layer of cakes sliding off!  These mishaps have taught me to be a student of technique and be creative in the kitchen.

Today, I make delightful desserts and breads like Chestnut Cake, Christmas Yule Log, and Kugelhopf, blending influences from German, Italian, Spanish, and Belgian cuisines.

Even without formal culinary training, (I have formal training in Early Childhood Education and Non-profit Management), I have become quite proficient in the kitchen through decades of experience. I believe in three things, the power of education, that it's never too late to follow your passion, and to grow in new directions!

My curiosity and love for preparing food have led me to master a variety of dishes, from classic French recipes to easy weeknight dinners to authentic French desserts like Millefeuille, Paris Brest, and French Chocolate Souffle Recipe.

A Love for Travel and Culture: Culinary Inspirations from My Travels


Traveling through Europe and experiencing global cuisines has enriched my appreciation for diverse culinary traditions. I discovered and enjoyed the same in other countries I've visited, such as Mexico, India, Great Britain, the USA, and my home country of Canada.

Take A French Culinary Trip in Canada


Living in Canada, I’m lucky to have a touch of French culture right at home in the province of Quebec, a region bursting with rich dishes and flavors. If you’re curious, start here with a classic French Canadian recipe,  TourtiĂšre!
