Émilie Franzo, culinary blogger with 185,000 fans

Passing a head in the green and white kitchen, enhanced with wood, Emilie Franzo, you might be surprised to catch, with the end of the index, the crumbs of a homemade pie dough. Not only does she love pies – to the point of having devoted several books to them, including her first published ten years ago – but she is also a foolproof gluttony. Rather than being ashamed of it, she made a guide alongside her curiosity.

At 20, a student, she spent a year Erasmus in the Netherlands. Among the Dutch people, eating seems to rhyme more with subsistence than with pleasure. This shock allows him to measure the importance of food in his life. The one we cook, the one we share. Like this friendly meal that his family, in France, prepares once a month, providing for 30 guests even if only 10 are expected. Resolved to show another face of gastronomy, she sets small dishes to her friends in The Hague and students from around the world.

Comforting cuisine

Back on her lands, Émilie decides to extend the experience by publishing photographs of her preparations on the young Instagram social network. Little by little, strangers subscribe to his account, react, ask him for detailed recipes and advice … Thus is born his blog, more aemettedanslassiette.fr.

In ten years, she refines the wording and images of her recipes, groping in front of and behind her device to improve her styling and her shots. An incessant learning that she appreciates.

Today, since its kitchen in Eaubonne (Val-d’Oise), Émilie enjoys 185,000 people in her digital community with her everyday cuisine, always in season, comforting, synonymous for her with attention to the other, as much as a means of expression. She sublimates her with her discoveries of flavors during her travels and by her inventiveness, especially around vegetables.

She did not stop in digital sharing: her 14th book is about to appear in September. So, if by chance you meet it as a dedication in bookstores next to your home, and you want, in turn, to please it, invite it to taste an aligot and an apple crust. His delicacy cannot refuse.
