Bonjour, it’s Géraldine!
If we haven’t met yet, let me introduce myself: I’m the creator behind La Cuisine de Géraldine, a French food blog with simple, healthy, and elegant recipes that I launched back in 2020.
Here you’ll find more than 450 recipes inspired by French cuisine: timeless classics that I keep just as they are, and others where I add my own modern twist. Easy, everyday recipes that are quick to make, require barely any dishes, and are never boring or bland!
Bon Appétit!
What made me start this blog?
Cooking has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always loved trying out new recipes and adding my own little personal touch! In 2020, when the world came to a standstill, I decided it was finally time to launch the blog I’d been dreaming of for years.
I was born in Paris, my favorite city in France (though I may be a little biased 😉). If you’re planning a visit to Paris, my Paris Food Guide is full of my favorite places to eat, drink, and explore.
I came to Germany for studies and work, but love gave me a reason to stay. There, I quickly realized that many of my international friends were too intimidated to try cooking French dishes. Too long, too complicated, too technical… Basically, it scared them off!
My goal here is to do the exact opposite: to prove that homemade French cuisine is actually quite simple. With me, you won’t need to spend four hours in the kitchen or empty your bank account to eat well. Today’s French cuisine is also modern, fresh, and healthy.
The blog is available in French, German, and English, so that everyone feels at home!
What you'll find here
On my blog, you’ll find both French classics and modernized recipes that are quick and perfect for everyday life. Every recipe has been tested several times in my own kitchen and is explained simply, so you nail it every time.
Here’s what you’ll find:
-
Classic French Recipes: comforting must-haves like Coq au Vin, my mom’s Blanquette de Veau (French Veal Stew), or my Apple Tarte Tatin.
-
Modern Twists: I love putting a fresh spin on classics with vegetarian versions, like Mushroom Bourguignon, Vegetarian Hachi Parmentier, or Smoky Tofu Quiche Lorraine.
-
Tips and Step-by-Step Photos: loads of practical tricks and step-by-step photo instructions, so you can follow along visually and be sure you’ll never mess up your dish.

My journey
After seven years working in the wine industry, which is perfect for learning about food and wine pairings, I wanted to go even further. In 2023, I went to learn the professional basics of cooking at the prestigious École Ferrandi, to deepen my knowledge of French cuisine.
What does that mean for you? Even though I already knew how to cook, this training taught me the proper techniques and chef’s tricks that I will now share with you!
A Dream Come True: My Cookbook
Then came an incredibly memorable moment for me in 2025! After all those years of sharing recipes online, I released my very first cookbook: The New French Kitchen (in English and German)! A real dream come true, and I’m so proud to share it with you: Discover my book here!
