As a private chef serving Brittany for over 20 years, Stéphanie Laeschke creates custom menus to express her passion and creativity, providing elevated fare for weddings, birthdays, seminars, and more. She trained at the high-end Oustau de Baumanière restaurant, where she was the only woman in the kitchen. Mentors like Didier Clément, head chef at the Grand-Hôtel du Lion d’Or in Sologne, gave her a taste for precision and excellence. You’ll be wowed at how she reveals all the richness of local, seasonal products, like warm oysters in a champagne emulsion, watercress soup with abalone, or scallops in elderflower oil. In 2023, Stéphanie’s participation in a TV show earned her compliments from a three-Michelin-star chef for her abalone, which he said were remarkably tender. The recognition was just as impor- tant as the compliments she gets from clients: “When the bride and groom tell me that I helped make their day special, I know it’s why I’m in this business: to delight people.”
