Hello! My name is Bitty, and I’m delighted to share my culinary journey with you. I was born in the charming town of Annecy, nestled in the French Alps, where the air is crisp, and the lakes shimmer like jewels. At 34 years old, I now call the vibrant city of New Orleans my home, a place that has embraced me with open arms and a rich tapestry of flavors.

From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of cooking. My grandmother, a true culinary artist, would whisk me away to her kitchen, where the aroma of freshly baked baguettes and simmering coq au vin filled the air. Those moments were more than just lessons in cooking; they were lessons in love, tradition, and the joy of sharing a meal with family and friends. I remember standing on a stool, my tiny hands covered in flour, as I attempted to recreate her famous tarte Tatin. It was a delightful disaster, but the laughter we shared made it one of my fondest memories.

As I grew older, my passion for cooking blossomed into a career. I trained in some of the finest kitchens in Paris, where I learned the art of French cuisine. However, it was my move to the United States that truly transformed my culinary perspective. The melting pot of cultures here inspired me to experiment and blend flavors in ways I had never imagined. I began to incorporate Southern ingredients into my French recipes, creating dishes that tell a story of both my heritage and my new home.

Cooking, for me, is not just about following recipes; it’s about embracing creativity and being open to experimentation. I believe that every dish has a soul, and it’s our job as cooks to bring that soul to life. I’ve had my fair share of kitchen mishaps—like the time I mistook salt for sugar in a chocolate mousse—but each failure has taught me something valuable. It’s all part of the journey, and I cherish those moments as much as the successes.

Now, I find joy in sharing my culinary adventures with women across the USA. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just starting your cooking journey, I want you to feel empowered in the kitchen. My goal is to inspire you to embrace your creativity, to try new ingredients, and to make cooking a joyful experience. Let’s celebrate the beauty of food together, creating dishes that not only nourish our bodies but also our souls.

So, grab your apron, and let’s embark on this delicious journey together! I can’t wait to share my favorite recipes, tips, and stories with you. Remember, every great chef was once a beginner, and the kitchen is a place where magic happens. Let’s create some together!
