Discretion
I never photograph my guests and never share a single name or detail. Discretion is an absolute rule, not an option.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where do you cook?
I provide services across the French Riviera, from Saint-Tropez to Monaco, catering in private villas, residences and for exclusive events.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is provided via a tailored quotation, calibrated to the specific menu, guest numbers and venue. You will receive a single, transparent figure for the service, with ingredients charged at cost. Once agreed, there are no hidden extras.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking early is highly recommended. Last summer, I had to turn down around thirty dinners due to a lack of availability. For peak dates, please get in touch as soon as your plans are confirmed. However, do feel free to enquire last-minute as I often retain some flexibility, and I will always reply to you personally and promptly.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Yes, vegan, gluten-free, kosher-style and halal requirements, as well as specific allergies, are fully integrated into the menu design from the outset.
Do you cater for larger events and weddings?
Yes, intimate weddings and private celebrations are a core part of my service. For larger gatherings of more than 50 guests, please get in touch to discuss the ideal arrangement for the occasion.
