viviane bauquet farre

A native of a French island in the South Pacific, Viviane Bauquet Farre has been an avid cook since the age of six, when she began preparing all her family’s meals, perched atop a stool. After moving to the United States and enjoying a successful career as a fashion designer, Viviane turned her attention full-time to her deepest joy, food — cooking it, creating it, and (especially) sharing it.

Today, Viviane’s creativity is centered on her distinctive online magazine, foodandstyle.com, where she publishes beautiful, innovative recipes and photographs (often with accompanying videos) inspired by seasonal ingredients, local farmers and artisanal winemakers, along with in-depth cooking tips and riffs on modern style.

Viviane has been written about — and contributed to — both regional and national publications. Her recipes have been featured in forums as diverse as BonAppetit.com, Vegetarian Times, and Saveur.com (which also crowned Viviane’s site one of the “Best of the Web”). She holds an Advanced Certificate in Wines and Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust Limited.
