J'ai rencontré Frédéric dans le cadre d'une retraite spirituelle dans laquelle il officiait comme chef.. Ce qu'il propose dans sa cuisine fut le prolongement de cette retraite dans un élan énergético-culinaire bienfaiteur. Un vrai bonheur entre les ateliers de découvrir toutes ses préparations qui, comme deux bras bienveillants, nous offraient un moment de douceur, des saveurs et bénéfices sains. Derrière son sourire et sa discrétion se cachent une grande sagesse, une humilité et une envie permanente de prendre soin des autres au moyen d'une cuisine centrée, infusée de principes fondamentaux ancestraux. Les combinaisons de couleurs, les synergies de nutriments et les associations dans l'assiette furent un enchantement à savourer de jour en jour… Je vous souhaite de connaitre la gastronomie ainsi composée, comme une inspiration aboutissant à une symphonie gustative!

A true vegan master
Food has not much to do with the bits and pieces that I chew away, between running out of my bed and running off to my bussiness of the day. Of course I know that and try to be more conscious. But what food really is and should be I realized when I met Frederic, our cook - in companionship with Gregoire - at the retreat in Saint Jean . The vegan meals were designed to support our encounters with nature - and they did - but Frederic also tuned the food to the needs of each and everyone of us. He looked and listened carefully and then he suggested in a friendly and supportive way what I could take to feel better, not only during the retreat but for my life to come. His friendliness touched my soul, as his food touched my body. Or was it the other way round? It was a magic mix and although I have a great tendency to fall back in chewing bits and pieces, I know where to go when the time has come. And I would suggest you to go there too, for his Ayurvedic approach makes his vegan food delicious and uplifts your soul at the same time. Thank you, Frederic and - may be, may be not - see you again.

“It starts with entering Frédéric’s house. His house feels like a metaphor or an expression of Frédéric himself. The plants are flourishing by the careful attention they get and all the things seem effortlessly in the right place. There’s a lot of joyfulness resonating in his place; his food, the curious cats Tony and Gaspar and his way of approaching you. Just being there reveals a conscious way of living, and that’s already inspiring. For me the session felt as a way of taking good care of myself in a durable way. Frédéric listens carefully to you and with all his ayurvedic experience he gives you new perspectives on your well being. Very useful, concrete ways and manners, that can help you to live the life that you are made for as a unique piece of nature.. with your own rhythm, your own creativity, body and rituals. It’s rather listening to your intuition and getting powerful tools for it, than having the feeling that you have to change something. I would recommend everybody to visit and take your time afterwards to integrate what happened. For that Frédéric sends you a unique map of the talk you had and all the things he collected around your being. Very helpful to remind you of that experience and keep the meeting in mind. If you are open to it, you will feel embraced by love.”

“The whole dinner experience is underlined by one common theme: sharing. Frédéric shares with his guests not only his beautifully curated intimate space, but his acquired knowledge and life experiences through open conversation and exceptional dishes. The guests share their curiosity and receptiveness with Fred and one another giving space to a wonderfully human exchange that leaves a meaningful imprint.”
