About Us
Founded by mother and daughter Astrid and Caroline, is a community platform created to share food and wine experiences. We have one mission: to bring cooking and dining back to the center of your evening, family bonding and friendly entertaining. It’s a tall order, we know, but if you are up to the challenge, then so are we.
About Paulette
Cooking and dining together has always been the center of attention in our family. We usually get so excited about our next meal that we start discussing dinner while eating lunch. We plan our vacation spots based on the culinary scene, and you can usually find us lounging around reading a cookbook as if it were a novel.
There is no doubt that our family’s love of food comes from our grandma/mom, Simone Paulette. Her cooking, with French and Scandinavian roots, has become our everyday inspiration. Paulette combines a wonderful touch of three generations around the table.
About Astrid and Caroline
Astrid, a sommelier by profession, has been based in Dubai for the past 10 years but has called several European cities home. As a mother to four children, she is a champion at cooking for two as well as ten.
“I love food! It has always been the center of my life and I am fortunate enough to share my passion with my colleagues, family and dearest friends. To me, good food is all about the ingredients and what is most important is creating foods full of flavors, made with the best produce I can find. In the end of the day, food is so much more than eating - it is a chance to be creative, to connect, and to share.”
Caroline, a communications professional, currently lives with her boyfriend in London and enjoys spending her time exploring the city and looking for fresh inspiration for her next meal. Cooking for two with limited time and budget, Caroline is always keen to deliver quick and enjoyable meals.
“My love for cooking started a couple of years ago, when I realized how important home cooked meals are to me, and that if I wanted to continue enjoying them, I’d have to learn how to make it on my own. Over time, cooking has become my downtime, my meditation, my zen. It is the time of day to challenge myself and push the boundaries - the outcome is just a delicious bonus! ”
