Born on July 23, 1970 in Sallanches (74)
Married to Chloé, from Arles and a bit of an artist
Two boys aged 9 & 13 !!!
With a long and eclectic experience in the world of gastronomy, I felt, at 49 years and 364 days, a certain weariness.
So I decided to leave my kitchens and come into yours,
and to become an “Itinerant Cook”
“Cosiner a Ostau,” as we say in Provence.
