Hi, I’m Vanessa. Half-French. Half-American. All Foodie.

I’m a home chef who learned much of what I know cooking with my mother in France, but also studying at Peter Kump’s cooking school, now the Institute of Culinary Education in New York.

This is my new site where I am slowly bringing over hundreds of recipes from chefdruck.com, my chronicle of a life of feasting.

“Il faut vivre pour manger, et non manger pour vivre.”

“We must live to eat, and not eat to live.”

15 years of content takes a long time to migrate. Please enjoy the gradual relaunch of French Foodie Mom: a recipe repository and email me at chefdruck@gmail.com if there are any recipes you loved that you don’t see here yet.

Let the feasting begin again!
