Meet Valérie Trocmé

I am a  greedy French food lover!

Entertaining friends and treating them with unique recipes which look and taste different is important to me. I love seeing their amazed faces and hearing their curious comments when my dishes arrive on the table.

Food should not only taste yummy but also look appealing and this is what I aim for. I am a little lazy and very busy therefore I create recipes which take minimal time and are simple to execute. My original concept is to prepare delicious gourmet dinner menus designed to entertain small groups of friends at the end of a work day. For these events one hour is the maximum amount of time I can afford.

The menus in this blog can be prepared in less than an hour!

The preparation steps are organized in a way that for allows optimal efficiency, idle times like refrigeration or cooking are used to execute other steps.

My dishes are decidedly healthy. This means essentially plant based with no dairy or grain products (with a couple of exceptions and some alternatives you may prefer), no refined sugar or bad fats and small portions of meat or fish. I would like to encourage you to use lean or organic meats and seasonal ingredients although I do not specify it in my recipes.

I have tested all recipes myself, collected and implemented feedback from friends on some of the recipes, therefore I hope that you will enjoy the quality of the instructions.

Have fun cooking and spending quality time with friends and family while enjoying the delicious Valfoodie dishes! I can’t wait to hear back from you
