Catherine Draws Foodie blogger
Catherine comes from a food-loving family. In their home, deciding what’s for dinner carries about as much weight as, say, adopting an animal or buying a house. For a good time and to satisfy one’s needs (restaurants, good wine, outings), she works at Buvette chez Simone where she recommends wine to the customer. For the last two years she’s been the blogger behind ObsessionsGourmandes.com. She also writes about the pleasures of eating for several publications. Catherine is friendly, picky, good-natured, but not flaky, scatterbrained when the time permits, instinctive and, like the name of her blog, a bit obsessive.

When it comes to cooking, my cuisine is definitely French. Alain Ducasse and Pierre TroisGros are sitting on my shoulders, spying on me. My sauces are butter based. I love aioli. Foie gras is my weakness. Sabayon, tartiflette and vichyssoise are right up my alley. Despite that, I like to cook outside the box. What [...]
Outside, a storm is brewing. It’s snowing out and the wind is howling. Loud enough for my cats to walk around with their tails between their legs. Strong enough for the power to go out at any minute. Cold enough to not want to stick my nose out the door. But not scary enough to [...]
