Chef Evelyn - MicroCrew Kitchen Founder

My Culinary Journey

It all started in my grandmother’s kitchen in Lyon, where I learned that cooking isn’t just about following recipes—it’s about understanding ingredients, respecting traditions, and fearlessly innovating. At age eight, I was already experimenting with flavor combinations that made my family question my sanity (and then ask for seconds).

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu Paris, I spent five years working in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, learning the precision and artistry that defines exceptional cuisine. But I always felt there was a gap between high-end gastronomy and everyday cooking—a space where innovation could make restaurant-quality techniques accessible to home chefs.

That’s when MicroCrew was born. This platform represents everything I believe in: precise techniques, bold flavors, and the democratization of extraordinary cooking. Every recipe here has been tested not just for taste, but for the joy it brings to both the cook and those lucky enough to share the meal.

“Cooking is not about perfection—it’s about connection. Every dish tells a story, creates a memory, and brings people together.”

Beyond the Kitchen

When I’m not developing recipes or writing, you’ll find me exploring local farmers markets, hunting for the perfect vintage cookware, or practicing yoga (which helps with all those long hours standing in the kitchen!).

I’m obsessed with discovering how traditional techniques from different cultures can be adapted for modern kitchens. My pantry is a United Nations of ingredients, and my spice collection has officially taken over two cabinets.

Fun fact: I test every single recipe on this platform at least five times before publishing. My neighbors have become very enthusiastic taste testers, and my rescue dog Luna has developed quite sophisticated palate preferences.
