Bonjour, I’m Florence The French cook, food photographer and content creator behind Zest of France
Here are the services I offer:
Recipe Development
I just love to create French recipes and other recipes with a French twist. I carefully get to know the brand’s product, story and philosophy to imagine recipes that highlight product in the best way.
Food Photography & Styling
Looking for beautiful images for your brand to publish on social media platforms, website or marketing materials? I shoot products and dishes, also possibly lifestyle images to create an atmosphere, in My Parisian Kitchen and home studio located just in between the center of the city of lights and the Versailles Palace.
Sponsored Work and Brand Ambassador
If you have a product that you think I will love, just let me know, I’ll see if it can fit Zest of France’s website editorial content and social medias! If so I would love to create something awesome for you. And why not becoming your brand Ambassaor in France.
Cooking Workshop and Blog Trip
I can provide cooking demonstrations in English (with my lovely French accent!) and am a big fan of food blog trips that gives me the opportunity to discover a brand (facilities or fields, fabrication process, product developments…) and give my feedback (social medias and blog post).
A bit about me
My name is Florence Richomme.
I’m a 55 years old French born and raised in French Alps, who used to travel each year to the USA for homestays when a teen. At the end of high school, I lived for 2 years in Japan with my family for my father’s work. Then back in Paris I studied Japanese and international trade. Apart from a break in my career for 6 years to raise my 3 lovely daughters, I’ve always worked connected with the rest of the world (first exporting fabrics, then organizing multicultural training sessions and finally as an executive assistant and project officer).
As for my culinary journey, I was educated to French cuisine by my mum who is a fantastic cook and spent an incredibly huge amount of time over the years in my kitchen learning techniques, imagining recipes and trying to make each dish the best ever. I gave cooking lessons in Japanese for 3 years. In 2016, I graduated of the French “CAP cuisine” which makes me a professional Chef.
I started My Parisian Kitchen’s bilingual website in 2015 and used it, in addition of the pleasure of sharing with others my love of food and French gastronomy, as a playground to develop skills in food photography, styling, recipe development, social media influence and content creation.
www.myparisiankitchen.com is now dedicated to French language and Zest of France www.zestoffrance.com is all in English for French food lovers and francophiles.
