My Culinary World | Gaelle Battistuta Ch

MY CULINARY WOLRD

THE CHEF

My name is Gaëlle Battistuta, originally from beautiful Provence.

Cooking has always held a central place in my life, shaped by both of my parents in their own way.

My mother passed on to me her love of rich, family-style cooking with influences from around the world, while my father introduced me to the traditions of charcuterie, as well as Lyonnaise and Italian cuisine.

These influences gave me a solid foundation, but also sparked my curiosity to develop my own culinary identity.

After completing a Professional Baccalaureate in Culinary Arts (Bac Pro Cuisine), I worked in various restaurants, discovering different techniques and styles of cooking. These experiences strengthened my desire to create cuisine that reflects who I am, with personal menus drawing inspiration from a wide range of culinary traditions.

My approach is about sharing what matters to me.

I create each dish with care, respecting flavours and individual preferences while remaining true to my own culinary world.

Local Ingredients,
Inspiration from Around the World

MY CUISINE

Based in the Périgord Noir, Dordogne, I travel throughout the region and beyond to create and deliver culinary experiences, in your home or at your holiday accommodation.

My cuisine is an invitation to travel. I draw inspiration from dishes from around the world, some less familiar than others, working with local and seasonal ingredients. I like to start with an ingredient, a pairing or a culinary tradition and take it in a different direction, with plenty of room for discovery and curiosity.

I do not seek to faithfully reproduce a foreign cuisine, but rather to draw from different cultures, techniques and traditions to create a personal style of cooking that is open to the world.

My menus evolve with the seasons and my inspirations, and can be adapted to your tastes, preferences and the occasion you wish to celebrate.

Conversation is an integral part of the way I work: understanding what you are looking for and finding the right balance between your project and my culinary sensibility.

Above all, I offer sincere and carefully crafted cuisine, designed to be discovered, shared and enjoyed in the moment.
