The idea behind this company is to transmit the know-how I have accumulated over 35 years in print and television. On the menu of Studio Recipe's "good recipes" (this word means "Recipe" in English, but also in Japanese), training and support actions. But also production of innovative formats (texts, videos, podcasts), creation of tailor-made content (for Instagram or YouTube), individual or group media training sessions...

At 20 Minutes, I keep a foot in the show "Qu'est-ce que tu food", a 13-minute monthly culinary show filmed in subjective camera with a chef to whom I bring a seasonal product. Will he know how to enhance it? Obviously, since I'm the one who chose it and staged the sequence!

What a joy to have participated in the launch of the first free daily newspaper! With the beautiful idea of giving information to a public that did not read... As head of the culture department at 20 Minutes for 23 years, I had the opportunity to write articles (and produce videos), particularly in cinema, art, literature, and gastronomy. But also to organize special operations with readers involved as witnesses of current events.
