About the author

Anne Lataillade

Anne Lataillade is French and lives in Bordeaux with her husband and two children. It was through her children’s food allergies that she started paying more attention to what was on her family’s plates, and to eating well. From there, and to share her experience, she created Papilles et Pupilles in 2005, without ever imagining that it would be the start of a new professional career.

This business school graduate quickly abandonned her job in finance to passionately dive into the world of cooking and sharing recipes. For the past 19 years, she has been publishing the results of her experiments on her website. Through the years, she’s received training from many professionals, both in France (Ecole du chocolat Valrhona, Atelier des chefs, etc.) and abroad (Sichuan cuisine diploma obtained in Chengdu). She also regularly shares her passion with many famous French and international chefs.

You can read about her story at the beginning of this journey in this article from Le Monde or this one from Le Figaro.

She has written 7 books (recipe books and travel guides), published by Hachette, Sud-Ouest, Tana (see below), and has worked for many years as a food radio commentator for France Bleu Gironde. Thanks to her passion for cooking, she was introduced into the confréries (guilds) of the Bordeaux canelé, the grenier Médocain, the Académie de la Gourmandise, and the Connétablie de Guyenne – Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux.
