I'm delighted to meet you.

My name is Manon, and I’m French. I was born in Normandy, in the north of France, where I grew up. In 2016, after wandering a bit around my country, I fell in love with Provence. It had always been a childhood dream of mine to live there, so as soon as I visited, I naturally decided to settle down.

I’ve always cooked, more or less. But after a radical life change—a new daily rhythm, new desires, unexpected urges—cooking gradually took over. A true passion, filling my kitchen counter, my notebooks, and my mind.

One day, almost by chance, I opened this space to gather my recipes. To keep a record. And most of all, to share it all with others. With you. Cooking has helped me feel so much better in my life that I’m convinced it can bring comfort to others too.

You don’t need to be a chef or have a fancy kitchen. What matters is what you put into it: care, curiosity, the desire to do things well… and above all, heart.

Here you’ll find recipes inspired by French culinary know-how, with a personal and modern twist. Everyday dishes, simple, generous, and often guided by the seasons and local produce.

I’m building this project step by step, humbly but wholeheartedly.

I hope you’ll feel at home on my blog, that it inspires you to cook, to slow down a little… and most importantly, to take some time for yourself between two busy days.

Warmly, Manon
