Chef Sophie

Chef Sophie developed her home-cooking service some years ago. She prepares generous and inventive meals which spread the warmth of a homemade French cuisine. Her meals are colorful and she takes care to work with local fresh market products.

In addition to casual meals Sophie also suggests French picnics. A romantic interlude to be enjoyed in the calm and privacy of your garden – simple, casual and very French. Sharing good moments with your loved ones is the essence of a successful vacation.

“Sophie and her staff did an amazing job – we booked two dinners, one with service and the other prepared on site and we served ourselves. The quality of the food and presentation were exceptional. Everyone in our large party of 13 enjoyed every course. Highly recommend their services.”

“A short note of thanks once again for a lovely dinner at Mas St Roch with Chef Sophie. We were all so very impressed with the beautiful table you set for our families, and of course the food was outstanding. The memories of a delightful experience will remain as a highlight of our vacation in Provence.”

“Wow— copious, earthy and such a welcome treat on our first evening with Chef Sophie. We had the goat cheese tart which was fabulous and the eggplant and pilaf dish for the main dish which was out of this world!! What a perfect way to begin the week and we had great left overs for lunch the next day. This was a super menu for a crowd that included several vegetarians.”

“We have had spectacular meals here in Provence, and we have had several truly spectacular chefs… but our entire family has voted Chef Sophie as the best of the best! Everyone has favorite menus and choices, but my very own favorite is your stew which is not like ant stew I’ve ever had. It is truly food for the gods.”

“Our meal with Chef Sophie was superb! Everything was delicious. We could not believe how many different foods you gave us. The thoughtfulness for my gluten free son was so appreciated. You are a very talented chef.I don’t know which was better … The pear tart or the chocolate cake. I wish I could learn to cook like you. It’s fresh, creative, and innovative.”

“We had Chef Sophie prepare two casual dinners for us. The food was very good and Chef Sophie and her assistant were very pleasant. One might argue that the cost may be a bit on the higher side but the dinners certainly added to our enjoyment.”

“Chef Sophie and Chef Valerie prepared a delicious and beautiful meal for our family of ten. They were pleasant and professional. The chocolate moelleux was magnifique! We highly recommend them!”

“Sophie cooked our 7 dinners. She was a delight and her meal were memorable, as was the way she decorated the table. The experience could not have been better!”
