Claire Chapoutot
Claire Chapoutot is a French food blogger and sociologist of food, known for her blog 'Clea cuisine,' which she started in 2005. Growing up in Gilly-sur-Isère, she developed a passion for cooking and local ingredients, influenced by her mother's commitment to sourcing fresh produce. Claire's experiences with environmental issues in her childhood led her to advocate for healthy, plant-based diets. After studying at Sciences Po in Grenoble and living in Japan, where she explored the culinary culture, she returned to France to share her love for cooking through her blog. Today, she combines her communication role at a local organic store with her culinary experiments, often inspired by Japanese cuisine.
