Welcome to Fraiche Pantry, a blog celebrating seasonal cooking. I am all about preparing unprocessed, great tasting foods. I was born in the south of France and spent the first part of my childhood on the Mediterranean coast where I learned a lot about using fresh seasonal produce and quality ingredients.

As a kid, I loved to learn how to cook and spent lots of time in the kitchen. Both my parents were great cooks. My Dad always said, “great cooking is not just about following a recipe, It is about getting inspired to create your own.” My Mom always said (to my Dad) “Clean up that mess!”

In this blog, you will find recipes that help foster the desire to cook and eat seasonal, locally grown, produce. I hope your visits to Fraiche Pantry will inspire you to create your own wonderful meals.
