Though Southern French and Italian cuisines are the roots of her cooking, the recipes Viviane creates are exuberantly modern, and grounded in a deep love for seasonal, organic ingredients, often supplied by local farmers. Her focus is always flavor, flavor and more flavor...which she coaxes out of her ingredients without excessive reliance on butter or fats.
 
Viviane's cuisine is stylish, simple, and deliciously sensual.
