Hi! I’m Estelle and welcome!
I’m a French Canadian that moved from Montréal to Loudoun County, Virginia, for love. (I know, how romantic!)
Ever since I can remember, I have always been a people person and a relationship builder.
I have been fortunate to experience a variety of careers throughout my life, each one with seemingly perfect timing. Every transition was a welcomed challenge and served as a milestone in my continuous pursuit of growth and improvement. Common threads have emerged among these work experiences, namely art, networking, and culinary curiosity.
Since moving to the United States around six years ago, my horizon has expanded to the culinary world — more specifically the plant-based world. I’ve studied in Los Angeles and NYC with some of the best chefs in my field. It was eye-opening and I'm forever grateful.
Two years ago, I started Not So Lonely Club to share my culinary creations with others. Ever since then, I’ve been hosting food and wine pairings, catering for small groups and hosting private dinners. I can’t get enough of menu developing, recipe testing, plating and food photography. I’m constantly experimenting with ingredients from local farms, creating everything from scratch, and meeting incredible humans along the way. At the end of the day, sharing, building a community, and having fun is what it’s all about!
<3 Estelle
