Bonjour! I’m Olivier—a French home cook who baked his first chocolate cake at about six years old. Trained by my grandma and mum in the French classics (think slow Sunday sauces, flaky tarts, and plenty of herbs), I carried those roots with me when I moved to the UK and started exploring new flavors and pantry staples.
After watching The Game Changers, I hit reset. I rebuilt my repertoire from the ground up—swapping butter and cream for nuts, olive oil, and clever plant-based techniques—while keeping everything I love about French cooking: seasonality, simplicity, and big, generous flavor.
On this blog you’ll find approachable, plant-based recipes with a French accent: olive-oil pastry galettes, silky “béchamel” without dairy, hearty stews bright with fresh herbs, and desserts that prove plants can absolutely satisfy a sweet tooth. My goal is to make cooking feel joyful and unfussy, whether you’re new to plant-based eating or just looking to add more veg to your plate.
Thanks for stopping by—grab a spoon, and let’s make something delicious together.
