Back to original languageAbout Hélène
I am a journalist specializing in food and gastronomy, an author, and passionate about cooking and pastry.
I worked for 2 years in a press editorial office (Régal).
For 3 years, I headed the cooking segment of the show La Quotidienne, organizing, cooking, writing, and interviewing dozens of chefs.
I was one of the 4 contributors to the Fou de Pâtisserie guide released last November on the best sweet spots in France.
I write articles for Fou de Pâtisserie and Fou de Cuisine magazines that highlight products and chefs.
I am the author of my own cookbook on squash, which will be released in August (Marabout), and several chefs' books that I am writing with Chihiro Masui.
I tested restaurants for the L'eau à la bouche guide (Castalie) and wrote critical reviews.
I hold a master's degree in geography specializing in food and food cultures (Paris-Sorbonne).
I have skills in SEO and web writing.
I proofread and format recipes.
I create, cook, and test recipes for publishing houses.
Finally, I am comfortable on social media and manage the communication for my Instagram account.
I am very organized, detail-oriented, critical, and passionate.
