Marie-Claire Quittelier

Marie-Claire is a real “foodie”. When she was little, she 'devoured' her mother’s cookbooks and magazines while other children ‘consume’ comic strips. Her mother and grandmother, both fantastic cooks, taught her the tips and tricks of the trade for simple, tasty, seasonal and authentic recipes. This rich culinary legacy has defined the course of her life. After a busy working day, she would always find the time to delight some guests. Her friends would often question her of ask the recipe. 

After a successful career in marketing, Marie-Claire decides to share her culinary knowledge and kitchen secrets in workshops. She even crossed the ocean to the United States and was the consultant for Central Market, H.E.B.'s first flagship store in Austin, Texas, when they established their cooking school. For 3 years she also owned a restaurant and cooking school in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Her natural and spontaneous approach and her love for good food are reflected in fresh, light and seasonal recipes. Her clients are typically major distribution chains, food producers and magazines. Marie-Claire received multiple awards for her cookbooks from the famous Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Marie-Claire accompanies companies in their culinary projects through the sharing of her knowledge, guiding them or acting as a business coach or a “sparring  partner”.   She develops  content or converts existing content  into another language (Dutch, English, or French), helps in the development of their recipe programs, organizes photo productions, develops and gives workshops or masterclasses.

Her philosophy: "Life is complicated enough. Let's keep it simple in the kitchen and have fun."
