One of the news paper articles posted online in french. Jean-Claude Altmayer is a modern Hephaïstos working with fire." I cook with my heart and my oven burns like my kisses! "
"I cook with my heart"
The cook book "I cook with my heart" is fresh off the press! The chef Jean Claude Altmeyer and I hosted a press conference in his kitchen at the famous five star restaurant "La Mirande"! It was wonderful event and the chef honored each copy by burning the last recipe of the book.. the "lost recipe"! He tells the stories in the book with such energy and prepared "smoked hearts" in his beautiful Provençal kitchen for all of the journalists.
Another blog "Le salon Modeste"
Just recently my friend Julia Riecke and I created a blog called "Le Salon Modeste" it displays unique French antique and vintage paintings, toys and photographs arranged in an artistic way in an 18th century Provençal house. Each item is for sale. If you like the whole installation you can buy the objects with the paintings. The idea is to mix and match unique antique finds for those of you who like me love rare and beautifully made objects. Every time I go to a flea market or an antique fair I look for these unique an magical objects that have stories of their own. In the south of France I get excited about old photographs and beautiful paintings and I love collecting them myself.. I love to make arrangements with toys and photographs lamps and paintings I hope you will enjoy this blog too.
