In her family food has always been a great affair, be it for celebrations or everyday meals, focusing on quality, freshness and authenticity. Caroline and her younger sister started taking over the family kitchen during their school holidays when their parents were at work. They were taking delight in baking crêpes, gaufres, tartes and many other sweet treats with the excuse that none of the cupbo
ard’s afternoon snacks were tempting enough! They found their inspiration in the blue recipe notebook started, and preciously kept, by their mother. It was filled with the family’s recipes, in particular those of her grandmothers Yvonne and Guite, both outstanding cooks each with her own style. While Yvonne was described by everybody in the family as a ‘gourmet-gourmand’, Guite was always focused on the healthy and beautiful side of her dishes. Twenty years after having started in her parents’ kitchen, Caroline is blending the culinary spirit of her grandmothers by creating YVONNE & GUITE to offer the perfect Canelé – a yummy little indulgence as it should be: comforting, generous, well-balanced and elegant.
