Welcome to Valerie's French Kitchen...
…where authentic and simple French cooking is brought straight to you, here in Minneapolis and the Twin cities area!
Whether you are a food enthusiast, a novice or an experienced cook – you have come to the right place! As a native of France, I am delighted to share my culture by introducing you to homemade, delicious and healthy French cooking. Together, we will explore how you can bring many flavorful classics – such as Boeuf Bourguignon, Salmon à la Provençale, Gratin Dauphinois and Ratatouille, to name a few – right to your very own kitchen or to that of someone special in your life.

I believe...
…that food is the common thread that weaves our cultural existence. As a family, we come together around the dining table. At work, we bond over a shared meal. We celebrate our accomplishments and we commiserate our setbacks around food.
I have been incredibly lucky to experience some of the most amazing food, as I have lived and worked around the world. And I am grateful for the opportunity to share it with you.
Fresh
I use seasonal, locally available ingredients to recreate the family recipes that I grew up with.
Wholesome
My food is simple, healthy and tasty. My cooking methods aim to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients.
Elegant
We feast with our eyes, much before we taste with our taste buds. And so, I present my food to entice all your senses.
