Francois de Melogue

François de Mélogue’s earliest attempts at cookery began with the filleting of his sister’s goldfish at age two and a braised rabbit dish made with his pet rabbits by age seven. He eventually stopped cooking his pets and went to the highly esteemed New England Culinary Institute where he graduated top of his class in 1985. Chef François resides in Vancouver, Washington with his wife Lisa and nine-year-old son Beaumont, who has proclaimed himself the family baker. He has written two cookbooks, the latest ‘French Cooking For Beginners‘ explores classical French cuisine. There are 75+ recipes that will bring the flavors of France into your kitchen. In addition to Pistou and Pastis, he writes for Simple French Cooking and Medium. His travel and food photography can be seen on his Instagram feed. He publishes weekly cooking videos on YouTube.
