About the Author
After spending ten years in the world of fragrance and cosmetics, working with prestigious brands such as Nina Ricci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Isabella Rossellini, Valérie Wolf chose a new creative outlet: food and the art of living. There, she brings together her creativity, keen eye for aesthetics and attention to detail.
In 2018, she launched the food and lifestyle blog AiL MA COCOTTE !, where she shares delicious recipes, practical tips and a highly visual world inspired by beautiful table settings and outdoor dining. She also extends this universe on Instagram (@ailmacocotte), where she has built a loyal and engaged community over the years.
Her first book, 100 Easy Recipes for Outdoor Dining, grew out of hands-on experience. For several years, Valérie ran a catering business specialising in picnic hampers. More than a collection of recipes, this book is a celebration of a return to the essentials: nature, simple pleasures and meaningful moments. For Valérie Wolf, eating outdoors has become an essential luxury — a way to slow down and savour life more fully.
