DISCOVERY OF CHEF CAROLE BEFOLO.

chef for more than ten years and pioneer of Africanizing in France, a gastronomic movement reinventing traditional African dishes with French techniques.

She discovered cooking with her grandmother, who took her to the fields to pick peanuts and pick cassava leaves, bananas or sweet potatoes. Carole grew up near the city center of Yaoundé in Cameroon, her dad is a cook in one of the most prestigious hotels in the country, a West African imprint that will remain at the heart of her cooking.

In France since the age of 9 and graduated from the hotel high school, she worked in the kitchens of Pascal Colliat's Château des Comtes de Challes, then at the Geneva bistro Café des Bains, where she developed the weekly menus. Her attraction to pastries and delicate starters is confirmed through her experiences, which lead her to “Monsieur Bouillon” before launching herself as a private chef after confinement.
