Viviane Bauquet
Farre
A
native of a French island in the South Pacific, Viviane Bauquet
Farre has been an avid cook since the age of six, when she began
preparing all her family's meals, perched atop a stool.
After a career as a fashion designer
and a move to the picturesque Hudson River village of Piermont,
Viviane turned her attention full-time to her greatest passion,
food. Today, Viviane creates beautiful and innovative recipes inspired
by seasonal ingredients, usually bought from local farmers.
Viviane's focus is always flavor,
flavor and more flavor! She uses organic ingredients whenever available,
because not only are they more nutritious, they simply taste better.
She doesn't rely on butter or cream to carry a dish, and she uses
fats, in general, sparingly. Hers is a style of cooking that is
just right for today: simple, creative, healthful and utterly
delicious.
Since 2005, Viviane has been offering
popular, small, hands-on cooking classes in her beautiful home.
She also hosts the no bones! dinner
club festive private evenings overflowing with
scrumptious courses, each one paired with a special, sommelier-chosen
wine. Viviane also produces a monthly cooking program which can
be seen on her website. And if that were not enough to keep her
busy, she writes a monthly column for the Nyack Villager,
for the international online magazine, showcook.com
and for localfork.com,
an online food community resource.
These many threads grow from a single
theme, which is Viviane Bauquet Farre's philosophy: Food is love.
It enhances our lives in every way. It benefits our bodies, our
hearts, our souls. It is a magnificent way to share special moments
with family and friends.
