Hi, I’m Vanessa. Half-French. Half-American. All Foodie.
I’m a home chef who learned much of what I know cooking with my mother in France, but also studying at Peter Kump’s cooking school, now the Institute of Culinary Education in New York.
This is my new site where I am slowly bringing over hundreds of recipes from chefdruck.com. This is the rebirth of my testament to a life of feasting.
15 years of content takes a long time to migrate. Please enjoy the gradual relaunch of French Foodie Mom: a recipe repository.
Let the feasting begin again!

Homemade Fudge Brownie
Brownies are intensely personal. Edges or centers. Fudgy or Cakey. Bitter or sweet. Everyone has an opinion. This recipe may not be your idea of the perfect brownie, but it makes me pretty happy. The texture is definitely cake rather than fudge, but the flavor is intensely chocolatey. But there’s something for both camps in the final product, as the edges are crispy but the middle is soft and moist. cake, yet fudge, with a crispy upper crust. This brownie is a uniter, a bringer of people together.
Oreo Truffles Even a Kid Will Love
These Oreo Balls are the truffles I wish I’d reached for as a child. They’re also the type of treat that will be the talk of your cookie exchange and the perfect little something to give to your neighbors. They’re incredibly easy to make as they require no baking.
Just a Simple Little French Cake: Fondant au Chocolat
French cooks, just like American ones, have recipes they whip off without thinking, even dessert recipes. This recipe for Fondant au Chocolat comes together in five minutes and has six ingredients, but the moist and intensely chocolate cake is definitely worthy of being served at the fanciest French restaurant.
Vive la France! Here are my favorite French recipes.
