Uncertain times has always been the opportunity to balance excess , and it is often during crisis that people reconsider their all way of life and the system they are living in.
“Is industrial food is dangerous for my health?”
“Which responsability do I have in this system?”
“Can I participate in healing this planet ?
“Which power do I have to do something?”
Are now the questions which are coming to our mind.

Since the last 30 years we see more and more movements who propose us alternatives to the excess we created with the logic of progress and industrialization;
The slow food movement is one of them and I personnally like this simple approach where COMMON SENSE is the principal rule:
-To cook our own food versus fast food,
-To priviledge local products more than import ( including organic),
-To chose seasonal products
-To priviledge artisanal production versus mass production
- To respect and protect local food traditions

In other words , to benefit fully from the lifeforce of natural food, culture and home made cooking .
So this group is simply about cooking and eating with awareness , responsibility and gratefullness:
- Cooking classes at “ La classe de Valérie” : to learn how to cook sensual healthy food , good for you and the planet ;
- Cosy gatherings at “Le salon de Valerie” to enjoy home made healthy cakes and inspiring conversation about our lives ;
- zazen sittings: to connect with the life here and now and as a result naturally craving the good food our soul and body needs.
