Sophie is a French expatriate living in Palo Alto. She grew up in French Alpes, between a lake and the mountains in Annecy near Geneva. From a very young age, Sophie has been fascinated with food and the blending of flavors. Since Sophie was 5 years old, she has been enjoying learning to cook traditional French recipes while helping in the kitchen my mother and my old brother. Today, her brother has his own gastronomic restaurant called “Aromatik” in the height of the old town Annecy.
