My mother’s love of cooking and growing her own ingredients inspired me to become a chef. As a classically trained French Chef, I accomplished six years of formal culinary education and graduated with three culinary degrees. I worked the first 10 years in Michelin Restaurants throughout Europe & Australia as a fine dining savory Chef.
In 2017, I seized the opportunity to teach the CAP pastry exam in France, with macarons being the most challenging dessert. My experience and passion for food and pastry led me to create My French Chef and Bijoux Macarons, an online macaron class.
In 2018, I moved to Los Angeles, and a year later, I expanded Bijoux Macarons to an online pastry shop. After 5 years of operating Bijoux Macarons in Downtown Los Angeles, I relocated to Nashville, Tennessee.
Driven by my passion for food and wine, I completed the WSET Level 3 certification to enhance the wine pairings in my menus. My extensive experience in cooking, pastry, and knowledge of wines enable me to craft unforgettable dining experiences for my clients.
My Mission: A Taste Of France
My mission is to provide a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Growing up in France, I’m proud of my heritage, and I bring my expertise and savoir-faire to create menus for an authentic French dining experience.
I have a simple philosophy for cooking: “The best food begins with the best ingredients.” That’s why I sourced local and organic ingredients from the farmer’s market and trusted vendors to bring the best of my dishes.
I carefully create and experiment all aspects of my dishes to guarantee perfect balance and flavors. That means I only offer small gatherings to provide attentive service and a unique experience.

I decided to make the chocolate lava cake for my birthday and I couldn’t wait to make it. I was surprised at how quick and easy it was to make. This is my absolute favorite dessert! I’m officially playing in the big leagues. Thank you, Chef Vincent!

I was captivated by the color of the panna cotta. It reminded me of my lilacs, so I decided to try it. This is officially my favorite desert. The flavors are incredible. The texture divine. It is a show stopping dessert. We were absolutely thrilled with your recipe from the first making and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second in recommending it.
