Chantale Cuisine & Catering

Chantale Cuisine & Catering Private dinners to corporate events; continental cuisine and cooking lessons. That is my pride, my goal.

It all began 8 years ago when a dear friend asked me to lead a cooking class demonstrating the process of making my gougère au St André…

I have been cooking all my life. From the time I was a small child helping my mother who taught me everything in the kitchen through my life as a wife and a mother, and now besides my primary career as a cooking instructor, caterer and private cook for dinner p

arties and other events. I had the chance to live, immerse myself in, and learn about cultures and cuisine in countries where exquisite flavors and a beautiful presentation are of the utmost importance. I am a French national, born in the exotic country of Morocco to French parents, and have lived in and traveled throughout North Africa and Europe, continually discovering the diversity of subtile flavors that I incorporate into many of my dishes. The sine qua non element of each dish's presentation is the addition of fresh edible flowers and my own grown aromatic organic herbs. I take great pride in keeping dishes simple and flavorful, with a touch of elegance. My passion is to enhance gatherings at the table with exquisitely prepared and presented food that will provide joy to those sitting at your table.

Happy Holidays to all my loved ones, family , my friends and faithful clients. Yesterday I posted my Xmas card and forgot to draw my Sacha so here it is updated. I was able to put weight on my leg this morning and after 5 days of recovery from dislocating one kneecap I feel confident that I will resume my activities tomorrow… slowly. 🔪
