Bonjour, I’m Beeta
author | tastemaker | gourmande
After my first trip to Paris in 2010, I fell in love with all things French and became a self-proclaimed Francophile.
To share my love for France and French culture, I created the now popular French lifestyle brand Mon Petit Four®, and launched a collection of my favorite French recipes and French lifestyle inspiration. My ability to simplify French recipes and eliminate the intimidation factor when it comes to French cooking has made my site one of the top French recipe resources for several years in a row. You’ll also find a variety of French lifestyle ideas aimed at helping you slow down, be more intentional and artful with your living, and fully embrace French culture and attitude at home.
I enjoy spending time in Paris, where I currently have a pied-a-terre, gathering inspiration for the blog and hosting lovely women for our yearly retreats, as well as spending most of the year in my hometown of Laguna Beach, California, where I get to share many of my farm-to-table recipes and enthusiasm for entertaining with my family, friends, and dog, Bentley!
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast .” – Ernest Hemingway
At Mon Petit Four®, we are deeply enthralled with France and its beauty. Everyone who has contributed to this brand is proud to call themselves a Francophile and is dedicated to sharing the sophistication, elegance, and splendor of France with our audience. Like Ernest Hemingway and so many other literary legends have described, once you experience the magic of a city like Paris, your life will forever be changed, and we like to think for the better!
